Like a small ball of mud or a small black
mole(彈丸黑子)
The name of the founding king of China's
Song Dynasty was Zhao Kuangyin, and a story about him is recorded in history
books.
When he founded the Song Dynasty, China was
still divided.
He had a habit of dressing in civilian
clothes and wandering around the capital.
He used this method to understand the lives
of civilians and also to change his irritable mood.
One snowy winter night, he dressed in
civilian clothes and went with his younger brother to the house of a minister
named Zhao Pu.
After seeing Zhao Pu, he said to Zhao Pu
I really want to unify the whole of China,
which is a very difficult goal. I have come to your house with my brother
because we want to discuss with you how to achieve this difficult task.
That night, the three of them discussed how
to achieve this goal.
At that time there was a small Northern Han
Kingdom and a huge Liao Kingdom in the north of the Song Dynasty. In the south
of the Song Dynasty there were the Hou Shu Kingdom, the Southern Han Kingdom,
the Southern Tang Kingdom and several other kingdoms.
Zhao Pu expressed his opinion, and Zhao Pu
said to Zhao Kuangyin
I think we should attack the southern
kingdoms of the Song Dynasty first and try our best to unite all the southern
kingdoms of China.
The small Northern Han Kingdom is like a
small mud pill or a small black mole, but if we attack the Northern Han Kingdom
first, we will immediately face a frontal threat from the powerful Liao
Kingdom. The result was not good for us.
Zhao Pu's opinion was recognised by Zhao
Kuangyin. The three of them reached a consensus that night and implemented the
strategic plan accordingly.
After Zhao Kuangyin's death in 976 AD, his
younger brother continued the strategic plan.
His younger brother unified all the
kingdoms in southern China in 979 AD.
Two kingdoms, the Liao Kingdom in the north
and the Song Kingdom in the south, were in conflict on the territory of China.
The literal translation of this phrase is
like a small mud pill or a small black mole.
It is used to describe a small place.
Dear friend, how do you feel or what do you
think after listening to this story?
What is your ultimate goal in life? Do you
have a dream that has been in your heart for a long time but has not yet been
fulfilled?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
彈丸黑子(Like a small ball of mud or a small
black mole)
中國的宋王朝的開國國王的名字是趙匡胤，歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他建立宋王朝的時候，中國仍然處於分裂的狀態。
他有一個習慣，他喜歡穿上平民的衣服在首都內到處閒逛。
他藉著這個方式去了解平民的生活，他也藉著這個方式讓自己轉換煩躁的心情。
在一個下的大雪的冬天的晚上，他穿著平民的衣服與他的弟弟一起去一個大臣的家裡，這個大臣的名字叫做趙普。
他看到趙普後，他對趙普說。
我很想要統一整個中國，這是一個非常困難的目標。我與我的弟弟一起來到你家是因為我們想跟你一起討論如何完成這個艱難的任務。
他們三個那個晚上就針對如何完成這個目標進行討論。
當時宋王朝北方有一個小小的北漢王國還有一個很巨大的遼王國，宋王朝南方有後蜀王國與南漢王國與南唐王國和其他幾個王國。
趙普提出他的看法，趙普對趙匡胤說。
我認為我們應該先發動對宋王朝南方的王國的攻擊，我們應該先全力把中國的南方的王國全部統一。
那個小小的北漢王國就像是一顆小泥丸也像是一顆小小的黑色的痣，但是如果我們先攻打北漢王國，我們會立刻遭遇到強大的遼王國的正面威脅，這結果對我們是不利的。
趙普的意見獲得了趙匡胤的認同，他們三個人在當天晚上取得了共識，他們隨後就按照這份戰略方案去執行。
趙匡胤於西元976年死亡之後，他的弟弟繼續進行這戰略方案。
他的弟弟於西元979年，統一了中國的南方所有王國。
中國的領土上，形成北方的遼王國與南方的宋王國兩個王國相互對立的局勢。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思像是一顆小泥丸也像是一顆小小的黑色的痣。
這句成語被用來形容一個很小的地方。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的感受或有怎樣的想法呢。
你的人生終極目標為何呢?你的心中有沒有已經縈繞很久但尚未完成的夢想呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
