China's long history has seen many
geniuses.
Some of these are very famous, while others
only appear briefly in history books.
One such genius was Wang Lin, who lived
during the Tang Dynasty.
A short story about him is recorded in
history books.
The Tang Dynasty was a period of great
prosperity in Chinese history.
The Tang Dynasty had two methods of
discovering talent. The first was the recommendation system.
This system was created during the Han
dynasty. The Han Dynasty king would ask officials from various places to
recommend talented individuals to him. After assessing and confirming these
individuals, the king would allow them to work in the central government.
The second was the imperial examination
system, which was established in the Sui dynasty.
This system was very fair.
The state would host a national
examination. If someone passed the national examination, regardless of their
family background, the king would let them enter the central government as an
official.
Wang Lin was born during the Tang dynasty.
He was a rare genius. He studied very hard, but that was not the only reason he
could write excellent articles. His intelligence could be said to be a gift
from God.
He became a celebrity in his hometown at a
very young age.
There was an important official in the
central government. His name was Cui Gong. After meeting Wang Lin, he thought
his talent was amazing. He told Wang Lin,
I would like to recommend you for a
position in the central government. I would like to confirm again whether your
abilities are really as good as you say they are. I would like you to
participate in a test that I have specially organised for you.
I will give you a topic and ask you to
write an article in front of me. Alternatively, I could give you a topic and
ask you to write a few poems.
Would you be willing to participate in this
test?
Wang Lin smiled and accepted Cui Gong's
suggestion.
On the day of the test, Wang Lin went to
the local government hall that had been designated by Cui Gong.
He said to Cui Gong,
'I would like to ask you to provide me with
ten secretaries.' Once I have heard the topic, I will create and read out the
requested articles and poems orally. I would also like these ten secretaries to
help me with the recording.
Cui Gong agreed to Wang Lin's proposal.
Once the secretaries were in position, Cui
Gong announced the topic. They were tasked with writing an article and a few
poems on the themes of the Yellow River and falling flowers, respectively.
As soon as Cui Gong had finished speaking,
Wang Lin began reading an original article about the Yellow River from memory.
This article was later summarised as being about 3,000 words long.
After finishing the article, he read out
twenty poems on the theme of falling flowers. These 10 secretaries could hardly
keep up with Wang Lin's reading speed. When the secretaries recorded the
article and poems, they wrote very sloppily.
After Wang Lin had finished reading the
article and the poems, he paused for a moment. He smiled at Cui Gong and
everyone present. Everyone was shocked by his amazing talent. They were all
speechless.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew and blew the
papers used by the secretaries to record the article and poems to the ground.
The papers were stained with sewage and mud, and were all dirty.
Seeing this, the secretaries anxiously
picked up the papers that had flown to the ground. 'Don't pick them up,' said
Wang Lin. 'These papers are all dirty, so don't pick them up. I will write them
again.' I will write a new article about the Yellow River and a few new poems
about falling flowers."
Wang Lin borrowed a pen from one of the
secretaries and quickly finished another original article. Having finished it,
he immediately wrote more than 20 poems about falling flowers.
Wang Lin's creative inspiration is
boundless. While he was writing, everyone who had taken the test watched him
quietly.
At around midday, Wang Lin put down his pen
and addressed Cui Gong.
'I have completed these works according to
the topics you proposed. Please check and evaluate them."
Cui Gong thought it was incredible. Having
watched Wang Lin's performance, he was even more convinced that he should
recommend him immediately to the Tang Dynasty's central government to become
one of their officials.
That morning, Wang Lin had created a total
of 7,000 words of original articles and poems in just a few hours.
Because his talent was so amazing, the prime
minister at that time was jealous of Wang Lin. Due to the prime minister's
obstruction, Wang Lin did not work in the central government.
He never left his hometown for the rest of
his life. He lived peacefully in the countryside and died a natural death at a
very old age.
This idiom literally means that he finished
an article very quickly after picking up the pen.
It is used to describe someone who is very
talented in literature and can produce excellent work in a short amount of
time.
It can also be used to describe someone who
is very talented in art and can produce a great work in a short amount of time.
Dear friends, how do you feel after hearing
this story?
Who do you think is the smartest person you
know? What impressive tests have you taken part in?
I hope this story gives you something new
to think about.
一揮而就(He picked up the pen and finished the
article very quickly.)
中國的漫長的歷史中，出現過很多的天才人物。
這些天才人物有些非常的著名，但有些只在歷史書中短暫的出現。
中國的唐王朝就有一個著名的天才，他的名字叫做王璘。
歷史書上記載了一個關於他的很短的一個故事。
唐王朝是中國著名的盛世。
唐王朝發掘人才的方式有兩種，第一種是舉薦制度。
這項制度開創於漢王朝，漢王朝的國王會要求由各個地方的官員推薦推薦當地的一些有才能的人給他，國王針對這些人進行考核確認之後會讓這些有才能的人進入中央政府工作。
第二種是從隋王朝開始建立的科舉制度。
這項制度是一個非常公平的制度。
國家會主辦國家考試，如果可以通過國家考試的人，不論這個人的家世背景如何，國王就會讓他進入中央政府內擔任官員。
王璘出生在唐王朝，他是一個少見的天才，他很用心讀書，但這不是他能夠寫出絕佳的文章的原因，他的聰明可以說是是上天特別賞賜給他的。
他在很年輕的時候就成為他的家鄉中的名人。
中央政府中有一個重要的官員，這個官員的名字叫做(崔珙)。他認識了王璘之後，他認為王璘的才能非常的驚人，他對王璘說。
我想要推薦你進入中央政府工作，我想在再次確定一下你的能力是否真的那麼好，我想請你參加一場我所特別為你舉辦的測試。
我想要出一個題目然後請你在我的面前親自寫出篇文章，我想要出一個題目然後請你寫幾首詩。
你願意參加我特別為你舉辦的這場測試嗎?
王璘笑著接受崔珙的建議。
參加測試當天，王璘到了崔珙所指定的地方政府廳內。
他對崔拱說。
我想要請你提供10個書記給我，我待會聽到你出的題目之後，我會直接創作並且口頭念出你所要求的文章與詩，我想要請這10個書記幫我做紀錄。
崔珙答應了王璘的提議。
10個書記就定位後，崔珙出了一個題目，這個題目是要用寫一篇以黃河為主題的文章，另外要以落花為主題寫下幾首詩。
當崔珙說出他的題目之後，王璘幾乎同步開始口頭朗讀出一篇他在腦海中原創以黃河為主題的文章。這篇文章後來總結大約有3000個字。
他朗讀完這篇文章之後，他緊接著又陸續朗讀出20首以落花為主題的詩，這10個書記寫的速度幾乎趕不上王璘朗讀的速度，這20個書記在記錄這篇文章與這些詩的時候，每個人的字跡都寫得非常潦草。
當王璘朗讀完這篇文章與這些詩之後，他停頓了一下，他微笑的看著崔珙與在場的所有人，所有人都被他的驚人的才華所震攝，在場的所有人都震驚的說不出話。
就在這個時候，有一陣強風吹過，這20個書記用來記錄的這些紙被大量的吹落到地上，這些紙沾到了地上的汙水與泥巴，這些紙都被弄髒了。
這20個書記看到這個情況後，焦急地撿拾這些飛到地上的紙，王璘對這20個書記說。這些紙都弄髒了，你們就不要撿了，我重新再創作一次，我重新寫一篇全新的以黃河為主題的文章與寫下幾首全新的以落花為主題的詩吧。
王璘拿起其中一個書記的筆，他拿起筆後在很短的時間內就又完成一了篇原創的文章。這篇文章完成後，他又立刻的寫了超過20首有關於落花的詩。
王璘創作的靈感源源不絕，在他寫作過程中，旁觀的參與這場測試的所有人都安靜地看著他創作。
到了接近中午的時候，王璘放下他的筆，他對崔珙說。
我已經根據你所提出的題目完成了這些作品，請你檢查並且評鑑一下我的文章與詩寫得如何。
崔珙覺得太不可思議了，他看完王璘的表現後，他更加確信自己應該要立刻推薦王璘進入唐王朝的中央政府成為唐王朝官員之一。
當天上午的短短幾個小時內，王璘總共創作了7000個字的原創文章與詩。
因為王璘的才華真的太過驚人，他的才能後來被當時的宰相所忌妒，在宰相的阻撓之下，王璘後來沒有進入中央政府內工作。
王璘後來終其一生都沒有離開他的故鄉，他安然地住在鄉下，他活到很年老的時候才自然離世。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是他拿起筆後在很短的時間內就完成一篇文章。
這句成語被用來形容一個人非常的有文學才華，這個人在很短的時間內就可以寫出一篇非常棒的文章。
這句成語被用來形容一個人非常的有藝術天分，這個人在很短的時間內就可以寫出一件非常棒的創作。
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。
你的朋友中，你覺得最聰明的是誰呢?你曾經參加過那些令你覺得印象深刻的測試呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
