A blue felt blanket left by my ancestors(青氈舊物)
There was a famous calligrapher in the Jin
Dynasty of China, his name was Wang Xianzhi.
There is a story about him in the history
books.
There were several famous families in the
Jin Dynasty. Among these families, the Wang family was the most powerful and
had the most famous people. He was one of the members of the Wang family, and
many officials in the central government of the Western Jin Dynasty were his
relatives.
He was the youngest of his siblings, and
even as a child he showed a different temperament from his other siblings.
One day, Wang Xianzhi and his brother were
studying at home. Suddenly, a fire broke out in the kitchen of his house, and
the smoke spread to the study room where he and his brother were.
He was sitting quietly when his brother got
up very nervously.
When his brother rushed out of the house
barefoot, he slowly got up, put on his shoes and walked out of the house.
Why could he seem so calm? It was because
when the emergency happened, he first observed calmly. He listened carefully to
the sounds coming from the kitchen and knew that the fire was under control.
When he grew up, he moved out on his own.
He lives a simple life. Unlike the rest of
his family, he doesn't live in a big, luxurious house. Instead, he lives in an
ordinary house where ordinary people live.
One night he woke up from his sleep and
heard someone in his house. He was lying on the bed and did not get up
immediately. After listening quietly for a few minutes, he decided that some
thieves had sneaked into his house to steal something.
He lay quietly in bed and waited a few
minutes. Suddenly he said a few words. He said.
Mr. Thief, it's all right for you to take
everything in my house, but please don't steal a green blanket left by my
ancestors. This blanket is of great sentimental value to me.
The thieves suddenly heard him talking and
were all frightened. They immediately dropped what they were holding and fled
from his house.
The literal translation of this idiom is a
blue blanket left by my ancestors. This idiom is usually used to refer to
something very precious and of great commemorative value.
Dear friends, what are your feelings or
thoughts after listening to this story?
Can you stay calm in an emergency? Has your
home ever been robbed?
I hope this story will give you some new
insights.
青氈舊物(A blue felt blanket left by my
ancestors)
中國著晉王朝有一個著名的書法家，他的名字叫做王獻之。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
晉王朝有幾個著名的家族，這幾個家族中勢力最大而且名人最多的就是王氏家族，他就是王氏家族的成員之一，西晉王朝的中央政府內有很多的官員都是他的親戚。
他是他的兄弟姊妹中年紀最小的一個，他從小就表現出不同於他的其他兄弟姊妹的氣質。
有一天，王獻之與他的哥哥在他家念書，突然他家中的廚房失火了，煙霧傳到他與他的哥哥所在的書房內。
當他的哥哥很緊張地站起來時他靜靜地坐著。
當他的哥哥光著腳衝出他家後他慢慢地站起來穿好鞋走出他家。
他為何可以表現得那麼冷靜，這是因為他在發生緊急情況時他先冷靜觀察，他仔細地聽從廚房那邊傳來的聲音，他知道這個失火的情況已經得到控制。
他成年後，他自己搬出去住。
他的生活很簡單，他不像他其他家人一樣住在很豪華的大房子裡，他住在一間一般百姓住的普通房屋中。
有一天夜裡，他在睡夢中驚醒，他聽到有人在他的家裡面，他躺在床上，他沒有立刻爬起來，他靜靜地聽了幾分鐘後，他判斷有幾個小偷潛入他的家中偷東西。
他又靜靜地躺再床上等了幾分鐘，他突然說了幾句話，他說。
小偷先生，我家中的東西你都拿走沒有關係，但有一條我的祖先留下來的青色的毛毯請你不要偷走，那條毛毯對我而言很有紀念價值。
那些小偷們突然聽到他說話，所有小偷都嚇了一大跳，那些小偷立刻丟下手中所拿的他家的東西然後逃離他的家。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是一條我的祖先留下來的青色的毛毯
這句成語通常被用來當做一件很有紀念價值的很珍貴的東西。
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。
你在遇到緊急情況時可以保持冷靜嗎?你家中是否曾經遭過小偷呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
