There is no one in the world more mediocre
than Wang Ningzhi(天壤王郎)
In China's Jin Dynasty, there was a famous
poet and writer whose name was Xie Daoyuan. There is a story about her recorded
in history books.
There were several famous families in the
Jin Dynasty. Among these families, the most powerful and famous were the Wang
family and the Xie family. Xie Daoyuan belonged to the Xie family.
Her father was a general in the Jin
Dynasty, one of her uncles was the Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty, and her
other uncle and several other cousins all held important positions in the
central government of the Jin Dynasty.
She is very talented, very clever, and
loved by everyone in her family.
Her husband's name was Wang Ningzhi.
Wang Ningzhi was from the Wang family. His
father was the most famous calligrapher in Chinese history, and his younger
brothers were all officials in the central government of the Jin dynasty.
After Xie Daoyuan married Wang Ningzhi, she
returned to her family home one day. While chatting with her family, she shared
some details of her life after marrying her husband. As she was talking, she
suddenly began to complain helplessly to her family.
Oh my God, my husband is so mediocre, I don't
think there can be anyone more mediocre than my husband in this world.
Her family told her.
We believe that your husband is a man of
good moral character. His parents have taken great care in his education since
he was young, and he has an excellent work record. He is not as mediocre as you
say.
After listening to her family, she too
realised that she had exaggerated. She reacted quickly and told her family with
a smile.
I think it might be because I have lived in
our family since I was a child and I come into contact with people in our
family every day. Everyone in our family is so excellent. I compare my husband
to you, so I feel that my husband is mediocre.
The literal translation of this idiom is
that there is no one in the world more mediocre than Wang Ningzhi.
It is used to describe a wife who feels
that her husband is not good enough.
Dear friends, what are your feelings or
thoughts after listening to this story?
Do you feel that your spouse is a good
match for you? Have you ever complained to others about your spouse?
I hope this story can bring you some new
insights.

我的天啊，我的丈夫太平庸了，我認為這世界上不可能會有比我的丈夫更平庸的人了
她的家人們對她說。
我們認為妳的先生是一個品德很好的人，他的父母親從小就對他的教育很用心，他的工作表現也很出色，他不像你說的那麼平庸。
她聽完她的家人的話後，她也發現自己說話太過誇大了，她的反應很快，她笑著對她的家人們說。
我想可能是因為我從小在我們家族中生活，我每天都接觸到我們家中的人，我們家族中的每個人都太優秀了，我把我的丈夫與你們相比較，所以我才會覺得我的丈夫很平庸。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是這世界上不可能會有比王凝之更平庸的人了。
