The thick clouds parted and the rays of the
sun appeared.(撥雲見日)
At the end of China's Ming Dynasty, there
was a famous writer called (Feng Menglong).
He wrote a collection of short stories.
This novel reflects the thoughts, feelings
and values of ordinary people at that time.
There is a story in this book that is set
in the Yuan Dynasty.
There was a scholar called (Humudi). One
night he was taken to the underworld by two men dressed in black. He entered
the palace of the king of the underworld and met the king of the underworld.
After talking to the king of the
underworld, he said to the king of the underworld.
I am a foolish man, and it was only after
talking to you that I realised my ignorance.
Before talking to you, I was like a person
walking outside on a cloudy day, because the sun was blocked by thick clouds,
so I couldn't see anything clearly around me.
After talking to you, I feel as if the
thick clouds have parted and the sun's rays have appeared, and I can see all
the objects around me clearly.
Hu Mudi said after a pause of about 20
seconds.
Listening to you just now, I suddenly had
an idea. I would like to ask you to promise me something.
the king of the underworld asked.
What should I promise you?
Hu Mudi said.
I used to think that there was no justice
in the world I lived in, that bad people could enjoy themselves after doing bad
things, while good people suffered after doing good things.
After talking with you just now, I realized
that the retribution for our actions does not necessarily only occur in the
world we live in. All the good and bad things we do in our lifetime will affect
whether we can enjoy happiness in the heavenly world or suffer in the
underworld after we die.
You are the king of the underworld, and the
entire underworld is under your control. I want to see what hell is like, and I
want to know what cruel punishment a wicked person will receive after death.
When I return to the human world, I will
tell my relatives and friends around me everything I have seen. I will even
tell any stranger who is interested in the subject everything I have seen.
I want more people to know that there will
indeed be a judgement after we die, and that we should try our best to do more
good things while we are alive, and to remain kind.
After listening to Humudi's words, the King
of the Underworld thought for a minute and then replied.
I think your idea is great, I can show you
what hell is really like.
Having said these words, the King of the
Underworld spoke to a green-robed, black-shoed official standing to his right.
I order you to take Humudi to visit Hell,
and if he asks you any questions, you must answer him in detail.
Having received the order, the green-robed
official immediately took Hu Mudi out of the hall and into the depths of the
underworld.
The literal translation of this saying is
that the thick clouds parted and the rays of the sun appeared.
It is used to describe a person who sees a
bright future after removing the obstacles in front of him.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
If there is a hell, what do you think it
will be like? If there is a hell, how can you avoid going there after you die?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
撥雲見日(The thick clouds parted and the rays
of the sun appeared.)
中國的明王朝末年，有一個著名的文學家，他的名字叫做(馮夢龍)。
他寫過一本短篇小說集。
這本小說反映了當時的老百姓的思想和感情和價值觀。
這本書中有一個故事，故事的背景在元王朝。
有一個名字叫做(胡母迪)的學者，有一天晚上他被兩個穿著黑色衣服的人帶到了地下世界，他進了地下世界的國王的宮殿中，他見到了地下世界的國王。
在與地下世界的國王對談之後，他對地下世界的國王說。
我是一個愚蠢的人，與你對話之後才讓我發現自己的無知。
跟你對話前的我就如同一個在陰天中外出行走的人一樣，因為太陽被濃厚的雲層擋住所以我看不清楚周圍的一切。
與你對話之後，我的感覺就像是濃厚的雲層被撥開後太陽的光芒出現，我可以清晰地看見我周圍的所有物體。
胡母迪停頓了大約20秒後說。
剛才聽你說話的時候我突然有一個想法，我想請求你答應我一件事情。
地下世界的國王問。
你希望我答應你什麼事情呢?
胡母迪說。
我原先認為我生活的世界中沒有公理，壞人做了壞事後可以安心享樂、好人做了好事後卻遭受苦難。
剛才跟你對談之後我才發現我們做事情的報應不一定只發生在我們生活的世界，我們生前所做的一切好事與壞事會關係到我們死後能到天上的世界中享福還是地下的世界中受苦。
你是地下世界的國王，整個地下世界都是被你所掌管，我想要看看地獄中的景象，我想知道一個壞人如果死後會遭遇到那些殘酷的刑罰。
我回到人類的世界之後，我會把我所看到的一切告訴我周圍的親人與朋友，我甚至會把我所看到的一切告訴任何對這個議題有興趣的陌生人。
我想要讓更多人知道我們死後確實會有審判，我們活著的時候應該盡力做更多的好事，我們應該保持善良。
地下世界的國王聽完胡母迪的話後思考了大約一分鐘後回答。
我認為你的想法很好，我可以讓你看看真實的地獄中的景象。
說完這些話後，地下世界的國王對著一個站在他的右前方的穿著綠色衣服與黑色鞋子的官員說。
我命令你帶著胡母迪去地獄中參觀，如果他有任何問題問你，你要詳細的回答他。
這個綠色衣服的官員接到這個命令後立刻帶著胡母迪走出這個大殿，這個綠色衣服的官員帶著胡母迪向地下世界的深處走去。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是濃厚的雲層被撥開後太陽的光芒出現
這句成語被用來形容一個人去除掉眼前的障礙後這個人看到光明的未來。
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。
如果有地獄，你認為地獄中會是怎樣的景象呢?如果有地獄，你如何避免死後自己不要淪落到地獄裡嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
