The strategy is very deep and the thinking
is very thorough(深謀遠慮)
In the Han Dynasty of China, there was a
famous minister named Jia Yi.
There is a story about him recorded in the
history books.
He entered the central government of the
Han Dynasty as an official at the age of 22. He once wrote a very famous paper
in which he analyzed the reasons for the demise of the Qin Dynasty.
He hoped that through this article, the
kings of the Han Dynasty could learn from the failure of the Qin Dynasty.
A passage from his article is as follows.
After Qin Shihuang established a great
career, he became very proud. He did not listen to other people's suggestions.
Even if he made a wrong decision, he was unwilling to admit that he had made a
mistake.
After the second king of the Qin Dynasty
succeeded his father, he did not correct those wrong policies. Instead, he did
more cruel things than his father. Under his rule, the people quickly
accumulated greater anger. .
The third king of the Qin Dynasty was very
young when he succeeded. He was not mature enough to handle the affairs of the
entire kingdom. He also had no loyal ministers who could be relied on to assist
him in managing the Qin Dynasty.
These three kings were unable to see their
own problems and did not take the initiative to find ways to better govern the
Qin Dynasty.
At that time, there were still many
ministers in the Qin dynasty who were very strategic and thoughtful. These
ministers also clearly saw the changes in society as a whole and understood the
various problems that had arisen in society.
But because of the chilling atmosphere that
pervaded the government of the Qin Dynasty.
If a minister voiced his objection, he
would be killed for making the king unhappy.
So all the upright ministers were afraid to
speak out or make suggestions. These ministers did not dare to clearly point
out the problems that really needed to be changed in the king and the kingdom.
To summarise what has been discussed above.
The king of the Qin dynasty made important
decisions that led the kingdom in the wrong direction. The loyal ministers in
the kingdom did not dare to criticise, and the wise ministers in the kingdom
did not dare to make suggestions. As a result, the mighty Qin Dynasty was
destroyed after only three kings. This result is really very sad.
The literal translation of this idiom is
that the strategy is deep and thoughtful.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Do your successes make you proud and
arrogant? Did you ever learn from the failures of others?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
深謀遠慮(The strategy is very deep and the

中國的漢王朝，有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做賈誼。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他22歲就進入漢王朝的中央政府擔任官員，他曾經寫過一篇非常著名的論文，他在這篇論文中分析了秦王朝滅亡的原因。
他希望藉著這篇文章，讓漢王朝的國王可以從秦王朝的失敗中吸取教訓。
他這篇文章中有一段敘述如下。
秦始皇建立了偉大的事業後他變得非常驕傲，他不聽從別人的建議，他就算做了錯的決定但是他不願意承認自己犯錯。
秦王朝的第二個國王繼承他的父親的位置後，他沒有改正那些錯誤的政策，他反而比他的父親做了更殘暴的事，在他的統治下人民快速的積累出更大的怒氣。
秦王朝的第三個國王繼任時的年紀非常的小，他不夠成熟所以沒有辦法處理整個王國的事情，他的身邊也沒有可以倚靠的忠誠的大臣來協助他管理秦王朝。
這三任國王都沒有辦法發現自己本身的問題且沒有想辦法主動尋找更好地治理秦王朝的方法。
當時秦王國內還是有很多謀略很深沉而且思慮非常周全的大臣，這些大臣也清楚地看到整個社會的變化並且明白社會上發生的種種問題。
但是因為秦王朝的政府內瀰漫的一股肅殺的氣氛。
如果有大臣提出自己的諍言，這個大臣就會因為惹得國王不開心而被殺。
因此所有的正直的大臣們都不敢說話也不敢提出自己的建議，這些大臣們不敢明白的指出國王與王國中真正需要改變的問題。
總結以上所論述。
秦王朝的國王在管理王國的大決策走錯了方向。王國內的忠誠的大臣不敢提出諍言，王國內的聰明的大臣不敢提出建議，因此強大的秦王朝只經歷了三個國王就被滅亡，這結果真的令人非常悲嘆。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是謀略很深沉而且思慮非常周全。
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。
你會因為自己的成功而變得驕傲且自大嗎?你曾經從別人的失敗中吸取自己的經驗嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
