His mind was so satisfied that he had the
illusion that his body did not exist.(得意忘形)
In the Chinese kingdom of Cao Wei, there
was a famous minister named Ruan Ji. His story is recorded in history books.
The three kingdoms in China's Three
Kingdoms period are the Kingdom of Cao Wei, the Kingdom of Soochow and the
Kingdom of Shu Han.
In 263 AD, the army of the Kingdom of Cao
Wei captured the capital of the Kingdom of Shu Han, and the Kingdom of Shu Han
fell.
In 266 AD, a minister of the Kingdom of Cao
Wei seized power in the Kingdom of Cao Wei. This minister announced the
establishment of the Kingdom of Jin in 266 AD. In that year, the Kingdom of Cao
Wei fell.
In 280 AD, the Jin Kingdom defeated the
Soochow Kingdom and China regained its unity.
Ruan Ji lived during this chaotic period.
His father was an official in the central
government of the Kingdom of Cao Wei, and his father was also a famous writer.
He is handsome and has a tall figure. He is
a very idealistic person and hopes to improve the Kingdom of Cao Wei with his
skills.
He is also a very reserved person. He
prefers to be alone. His personality strives for freedom. He does not like to
be bound by any social norms.
Another characteristic of his personality
is that his face never shows his current mood. His expression is always very
calm, so his friends think that he is an unpredictable person.
He likes to read, he likes to read books on
different subjects and he can read for a month at home without getting bored.
When he was young, he liked to read Confucian books. As he grew older, he
preferred the thoughts of Laozi and Zhuangzi.
He also likes to drink Chinese rice wine
and is an excellent Chinese guqin player.
Several times, after playing the Chinese
guqin, he said to his friends
When I was just playing the Chinese guqin,
I was completely immersed in the music.
My mind was so satisfied that I had the
illusion that my body didn't even exist.
His friends laughed at him when they heard
his feelings.
You really are a person who is very devoted
and obsessed with music.
The meaning of this idiom is used to
describe a person who feels very satisfied in his mind, so that he has the
illusion that his body does not exist.
This idiom has another, more negative
meaning. It is used to describe a person who behaves inappropriately because he
is too happy or too proud.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Have you ever had the feeling that your
body doesn't exist? Is there something that you've loved since you were young?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
得意忘形(His mind was so satisfied that he had
the illusion that his body did not exist.)
中國的曹魏王國，有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做阮籍，歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
中國的三國時代的三個王國，分別是曹魏王國與東吳王國與蜀漢王國。
西元263年，曹魏王國的軍隊攻下蜀漢王國的首都，蜀漢王國滅亡。
西元266年，曹魏王國的一個大臣奪取了曹魏王國的政權，這個大臣在西元266年宣布建立晉王國，這一年曹魏王國滅亡。
西元280年，晉王國打敗東吳王國，中國恢復統一。
阮籍就活在這個混亂的年代。
他的父親是曹魏王國中央政府一個官員，他的父親也是一個著名的文學家。
他長得很英俊，他的身材也很挺拔。他是一個很有理想的人，他希望可以憑藉他的能力讓曹魏王國變得更好。
他也是一個很孤傲的人，他比較喜歡自己獨處，他的個性追求自由，他不喜歡被一些社會上的禮節規範所拘束。
他的為人還有一個特點，他的臉上從來都不會表現出他當下的心情，他的表情永遠都是非常的平靜，因此他的朋友們都覺得他是一個令人無法猜測的人。
他很喜歡讀書，他喜歡涉獵各種不同領域的書籍，他可以連續一個月都在家裡讀書而不會感到無聊。他年輕時喜歡閱讀儒家的書籍，他年長之後他更偏好於老子與莊子的思想。
他還很喜歡喝中國米酒，他還是一個很傑出的中國古琴演奏家。
有好幾次，他在彈奏中國古琴之後對他的朋友說。
我剛剛彈奏中國古琴時，我完全沉浸在音樂當中。
我的心靈感到非常滿足，所以我產生一種錯覺，我感覺自己的身體都好像並不存在。
他的朋友們聽到他分享的這些感受後，笑著對他說。
你真的是一個非常投入並且迷戀於音樂的人啊。
這句成語的意思被用來形容一個人的心靈感到非常滿足，所以這個人產生一種錯覺，這個人感覺自己的身體都好像並不存在。
這句成語衍伸出來有另外一種比較負面的意思。這句成語被用來形容一個人因為太高興或是太驕傲，所以這個人的行為很失態。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你曾經有過這種感覺到身體好像不存在的感受嗎?你有從年輕開始到現在都很喜歡的東西嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
