His mind is in turmoil and his soul is shaken(神蕩魂搖)

 

There was a famous novelist and playwright in China's Ming Dynasty, his name was (Feng Menglong).

He wrote a collection of short stories.

One of the stories is a fictional story he created with a very famous person from the Ming Dynasty as the protagonist.

 

This famous person is called Tang Yin. When he was growing up, all his friends called him (Tang Bohu).

He is very clever and very knowledgeable.

He can write poems and articles. He is a good painter and a good musician.

His character was bold and uninhibited, and he was proud of his talents.

 

His hometown is Suzhou, China.

Suzhou is a beautiful and prosperous city with a permanent population of over 500,000 and thriving economic and cultural activities.

 

There are a total of six gates outside the city of Suzhou. These gates are accessible not only by land but also by river, so traffic and transportation are very convenient.

 

One afternoon, Tang Yin hired a boat that stopped on the river at the busiest gate in Suzhou City. He sat alone on the boat, drinking tea and watching the scenery.

 

As he drank his tea, people kept coming up to the boat he had built to ask him to paint and write poems. These people wanted to buy his words and poems.

At first he agreed to their request, but later he found them annoying because there were so many people, so he ordered his servants not to allow them to board the boat.

 

He sat facing the middle of the river. He told the servant to bring Chinese rice wine. He sat by the window and began to drink Chinese rice wine. He continued to enjoy this rare afternoon.

 

About half an hour later, a large, ornately decorated ship with exquisite carvings suddenly appeared in the distance. This large ship caught his attention.

As the ship passed in front of him, he saw a girl dressed in green sitting on the ship. This girl was very beautiful and had a very well-proportioned figure.

The girl's eyes met Tang Yin's. She looked at Tang Yin and Tang Yin looked at her. This beautiful ship passed by very quickly, in less than a minute.

 

Tang Yin turned her head in the direction the big ship was going. She saw that the girl seemed to be looking back at her. The girl covered her mouth with her sleeves and seemed to be smiling.

 

Tang Yin felt that his mind was in turmoil and his soul was shaken.

He had never seen a girl so attractive.

 

The literal translation of this idiom is that he feels disturbed in his mind and shaken in his soul.

This idiom is used to describe a person who is so stimulated by the outside world that he cannot concentrate.

The imperial examination was an important political system in Chinese history.

This system had a huge impact on Chinese society and culture.

 

Many people without prominent backgrounds and many very poor people changed their social class and destiny through the imperial examination.

Because they pass the examination, they can serve as important officials in the central government.

 

The content and methods of the Imperial Examination varied slightly from dynasty to dynasty.

We will use the simplest way to understand the rules of this examination. The Imperial Examination is divided into three levels.

 

The first level is held in the provincial capital, and those who pass it can go on to the second level.

The first among these qualified people has a proper name to call it, that name is (Jie Yuan).

The second-level examination is held in the provincial capital, and those who pass the examination can go on to the third-level examination.

The first of these qualified people will be given a proper name. This name is (Huiyuan)

And the first of these qualified people has a proper name to call him, that name is (Chong Yuan).

I have heard that there is a magic mirror in heaven. This mirror can reflect all the bad things the person using it has ever done.

Is that the mirror you use?

 

Replied the Immortal.

The mirror you mentioned does exist, but it is no longer in use.

People today are very good at hiding their true thoughts, and these people are also very good at doing bad things.

People do a lot of bad things these days, but when others see them, they often think they are doing good things.

 

The mirror I am holding now can directly reflect all the bad thoughts in the mind of the person using the mirror.

Nowadays a lot of people look respectful and serious on the outside, but they have done a lot of bad things.

This mirror of mine can accurately identify these people.

 

He asked.

Why do you use this mirror to find those who have evil thoughts?

The immortals in the sky will give everyone the rewards or punishments they deserve based on a person's behaviour and thoughts. This mirror allows us to better judge whether everyone is a good person or a bad person.

 

This idiom is used to describe a person's respectful and serious expression.

This idiom is usually used to describe a person who is sanctimonious.

秦	The name of a kingdom and dynasty in ancient China. It is also one of the Chinese family names.
瓊	It means a very beautiful red jade.
叔	The third of several brothers.
寶	It means treasure. It is also a Chinese surname.

 

He was a famous general in the Tang Dynasty of China.

He played a great role in helping the founding king of Tang Dynasty to build the country.

 

A famous Chinese novel is called (Journey to the West).

The author mentioned a story about him in this novel.

 

The King of Tang Dynasty accidentally killed a heavenly god, and the ghost of the heavenly god came to haunt the King of Tang Dynasty every night.

 

The King of Tang Dynasty was so frightened that he couldn't sleep every night. After several days of this, the king's body became very weak. After a consultation, the royal physician said that the king's health was rapidly deteriorating. If this problem was not solved quickly, the king's life would be in danger.

 

Several ministers who were close to the king gathered in the king's room to discuss how to solve this vexing problem.

 

Said the king.

I have been on the battlefield since I was 19 years old. I have seen many battles, great and small, in my life.

I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to sleep today because of the ghosts.

 

A minister called (Yu Chigong) said.

We founded the Tang Dynasty together, and each of us killed many enemies. If there really were ghosts and ghosts took revenge, some of us would have died long ago.

 

Said the king.

I don't believe in ghosts either, but what's happening now makes me believe.

Every night, outside my room, there were sounds of ghosts screaming. These ghosts could also make objects move. These sounds made it impossible for me to sleep peacefully. As a result, I've had several nights of insomnia.

 

(Qin Qiong) said to the king.

I have a suggestion.

You said that there are ghosts screaming outside your room. I will go outside your room with (Yu Chigong) tonight to help you guard the door.

If a ghost appears, we can take the necessary action immediately.

 

The king nodded in agreement after hearing what (Qin Qiong) said.

 

That night, (Qin Qiong) and (Yu Chi Gong) stood guard outside the king's room, wearing the armour they wore during the war and holding weapons in their hands.

That night, the ghost screaming outside the room did not appear, and the king was finally able to sleep.

 

Because the effect was so good, (Qin Qiong) and (Yu Chigong) stood guard outside the king's door for several nights.

But a few days later, the faces of these two loyal ministers showed signs of fatigue, because these two ministers had stayed up late for several days in a row, and their bodies could no longer bear it.

 

The king saw this situation and summoned two royal painters. The king said to the two painters

I order you to paint full-length portraits of (Qin Qiong) and (Yu Chigong). After the painting is finished, I will hang their portraits on my door.

I wanted to test whether their portraits would have the same effect of scaring off ghosts.

 

That night the king was not disturbed by any ghosts. From then on, the full-length portraits of (Qin Qiong) and (Yu Chigong) were hung at the entrance to the king's room.

 

A few weeks later, the news spread, and many people began to imitate the king and put up full-length portraits of (Qin Qiong) and (Yu Chigong) at the gate.

 

This custom is still followed today.

You can still see the portraits of these two faithful and brave ministers on the door of some old Chinese houses.

 

Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts do you have after listening to this story?

Have you ever heard of methods for exorcising ghosts? Have you ever suffered from long-term insomnia because of something?

I hope this story can give you some new insights.

In the sixth paragraph of the poem, the wife condemns her husband for marrying her husband's lover. Her husband and her husband's lover have taken everything from her. The wife complains that she has lost everything.

The relationship and actions between the lovers are very intimate(卿卿我我)

 

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty of China, there was a famous minister named (Wang Rong).

One of his stories is recorded in history books.

 

According to the linguistic custom at that time, the husband would call his wife (Qing), which means the person I love. The wife will call her husband "jun", which means the person she respects.

 

He has a good relationship with his wife, who is very independent and has her own unique opinions.

 

One day, Wang Rong's wife suddenly called him "Qing". At first, Wang Rong didn't mind, but later on, his wife habitually called him "Qing".

After a few days, Wang Rong felt that it was embarrassing for his wife to call him "Qing", so he told his wife.

Can you please stop calling me Qing?

You should call me "Jun", because that is in line with social linguistic habits.

 

After hearing what he said, his wife smiled and said to him

I like and love you, that's why I use the word "dear" to call you.

Why don't you let me use that word to call you?

Could it be that in your heart you prefer to hear other women call you that word?

 

He also smiled when he heard what his wife said.

He said to his wife.

What you have said makes sense. I am willing to adjust my thinking. I accept your use of the word 'Qing' to address me.

After this story spread later, the two words (Qingqing) were used by people to describe their lovers.

 

The literal translation of this phrase is 'you are the person I like and love'.

This idiom is used to describe the very intimate relationship and actions between a couple or pair of lovers.

The cause of the disaster was due to internal problems in the Kingdom of Lu(禍起蕭牆)

 

 

The cause of the disaster was due to internal problems in the Kingdom of Lu(禍起蕭牆)

 

During the Spring and Autumn Period in China, there was a famous minister in the Kingdom of Lu. This minister was called Ji Sun.

There is a story about him recorded in the history books.

 

He has the greatest power in the Lu Kingdom, and his power is greater than that of the king of the Lu Kingdom.

At that time there was a small kingdom next to the Lu Kingdom, and the name of this small kingdom was (Zhuanyu).

The Lu Kingdom was in political turmoil. In order to increase his influence in the Lu Kingdom, Ji Sun ordered an attack on the (Zhuanyu) Kingdom.

 

When Confucius heard about this incident, he commented on it.

Confucius said.

The difference between a prosperous kingdom and a declining one is not the size of the land or the number of people.

If a kingdom has a small land area and a small population, but the leader of the kingdom does not allow unequal distribution of wealth and social injustice in the kingdom, and the leader of the kingdom manages to make the people live in a safe environment, then the nature of the kingdom will become more and more prosperous.

When a kingdom is very prosperous, many people from other kingdoms will naturally want to come and live in that kingdom. Then the population of that kingdom will naturally increase, and the national power of that kingdom will become stronger and stronger.

 

The Jisun should rule the Lu Kingdom with justice and benevolence. When the Lu Kingdom becomes powerful, it will naturally attract the people of the (Zhuan Yu) Kingdom to follow.

Now Jisun wants to use force to force the Zhuan Yu Kingdom to obey the Lu Kingdom. I think his behaviour is completely wrong.

Under his leadership, I saw the domestic chaos in the Kingdom of Lu.

The Kingdom of Lu was on the brink of collapse, but he failed to see the real problems within the Kingdom of Lu.

 

 

The reason for the disasters of the Lu Kingdom was the internal problems of the Lu Kingdom. The disasters of the Lu Kingdom were not caused by threats from outside forces.

The Jisun wanted to use force to attack the Kingdom of Zhuanyu and hoped to use this war to consolidate their power. I think what the Jisun did was definitely wrong.

 

The literal translation of this idiom is that the cause of the disaster was internal problems in the Kingdom of Lu.

This idiom is used to describe a disaster that occurs in an organisation. The reason for the disaster is that there are problems within the organisation.
