A phoenix perched on a tall phoenix tree.(鳳棲高梧)
China has a very long history. According to
historical records, China had five great emperors in ancient times. The most
important of these, ranked first, is Huangdi.
Huangdi's given name was Gongsun Xuanyuan.
He is recognised as the greatest leader in ancient China and the common
ancestor of the Chinese nation.
History books tell a story about him.
He was a kind and capable leader of noble
character. Under his governance, China was stable and prosperous.
Once, in order to pray for his people, he
began to fast.
He abstained from alcohol and meat. He kept
his body clean and his mind pure.
In ancient Chinese legend, there is a
divine bird called the Phoenix.
The phoenix is a very sacred bird and few
people have seen one.
Seeing a phoenix is considered a very
auspicious omen and a sign that the area is peaceful and safe.
A few days after Huangdi began to fast,
something strange happened in the palace.
A phoenix appeared in the royal garden and
stayed on a phoenix tree that had been planted by Huangdi.
In Chinese culture, the phoenix tree has a
very positive meaning and symbolises auspiciousness.
According to ancient Chinese legend, the
divine bird phoenix will only stay on a phoenix tree.
When Huangdi saw this, he remembered
hearing a wise elder talk about the phoenix's habits.
He knew that the phoenix had appeared in
his palace because he had governed China well.
However, he also knew that the phoenix
would not always remain in his palace.
If he lost his cautious and humble
mentality and began to become arrogant and treat people badly, the phoenix
would fly away from his royal garden.
He did not become proud because the phoenix
had appeared. He managed all the people more attentively.
He did not become proud of the phoenix's
appearance. He paid more attention to the people than before, and the phoenix
remained on the tree in his royal garden.
During his lifetime, China grew stronger
day by day, and the Chinese people lived safely and happily.
This idiom literally means 'the phoenix
perched on a tall phoenix tree'.
It is also used to describe a person moving
to a great new house.
It can also be used to describe someone who
is very talented and has been assigned a suitable job. —

鳳棲高梧(A phoenix perched on a tall phoenix
tree.)
中國的歷史非常的悠久,根據歷史書的記載,中國在上古時代有五個非常偉大的帝王,這五個帝王中,最重要的且排名第一的就是(黃帝)。
黃帝的名字叫做(公孫軒轅),他是中國古代最偉大的領袖,他被公認為中華民族的共同的祖先。
歷史書中記載了一個關於他的故事。
他是一個很仁慈而且很有能力的領袖,他有很高尚的品德,在他的治理下,中國非常的安定與繁榮。
有一次,他為了幫他所帶領的所有百姓祈福,他開始進行齋戒。
他不喝酒與不吃肉,他保持身體的乾淨與心靈的純淨。
中國古代傳說中有一種神鳥,這種神鳥的名字叫做(鳳凰)。
鳳凰是一種非常神聖的鳥,很少人看見過牠。
如果看到鳳凰的出現,那麼就代表一個非常吉祥的預兆,也代表這個地方非常的和平與安全。
(黃帝)開始齋戒幾天後,皇宮中出現了一件非常奇特的事。
有一隻鳳凰出現在皇宮的皇家花園中,這隻鳳凰停留在黃帝所種植的一棵梧桐樹上。
梧桐樹在中國的文化中代表著非常好的寓意,這種樹木象徵的吉祥。
根據中國的古代的傳說紀載,鳳凰這種神鳥只會停留在梧桐樹上。
(黃帝)看到這個情況後,他想到自己曾經聽過一個有智慧的長者說過鳳凰的習性。
他知道因為自己把中國管理得很好,所以這隻鳳凰才會出現在他的皇宮中。
他也知道鳳凰不一定會永遠會停留在自己皇宮中的梧桐樹上。
他知道如果自己失去了謹慎與謙卑的心態,如果自己開始變的驕傲自大,如果自已沒有用仁慈的心與寬厚的態度去對待所有的百姓,那麼這隻鳳凰就會飛離他的皇家花園。
他沒有因為鳳凰的出現而產生驕傲的心,他比以前更加用心的管理所有百姓,這隻鳳凰後來就一直停留在他的皇家花園中的梧桐樹上。
在他活的時候,中國的國力一天比一天變得更強大,中國的人民生活在安全與快樂之中。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是鳳凰在一棵高大的梧桐樹上棲息。
這句成語被用來形容一個人搬到一個很棒的新的房子內居住。
這句成語也可以被用來形容一個人很有才能,這個人被安排到一個合適他的工作職位。ˉ
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。
你的國家中有那些吉祥的事物呢?你會如何避免自己在成功之後產生驕傲的心呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
