I was so overjoyed that I felt overwhelmed.(喜不自勝)
At the end of the Han dynasty in China, the
military power of warlords across the country had surpassed that of the central
government, which had lost control over them.
These warlords waged constant war against
each other, eventually leaving three major forces:
The leaders of these three forces were Cao
Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Bei. Cao Cao's son, Cao Pi, established the Cao Wei
Kingdom, while Sun Quan and Liu Bei established the Eastern Wu and Shu Han
kingdoms respectively.
In order to become the ultimate victor and
unify all of China, these three forces sometimes cooperated and sometimes
attacked each other.
In 219 AD, Guan Yu, a great general of the
Shu Han Kingdom, launched an attack on the Cao Wei Kingdom and achieved a great
victory.
However, Guan Yu's victory was short-lived.
The Cao Wei Kingdom quickly launched a counterattack under the leadership of Cao
Cao, and the Eastern Wu army seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack
on Guan Yu's forces.
The result of this battle was a huge loss
for the Shu Han kingdom. Guan Yu was captured and killed by the Eastern Wu
army, and Shu Han lost valuable territory.
After news of the victory reached the
capital, an important minister named Zhong Yao wrote a letter to Cao Cao, who
was on the front lines.
A passage from Zhong Yao's letter reads as
follows:
'When I heard the good news that our
soldiers had defeated Guan Yu's army, I was so overjoyed that I felt
overwhelmed..
My face beamed with smiles; I felt ecstatic
and my heart was filled with immense happiness.
I now hope you can return safely, and I
eagerly anticipate seeing you again every day.'
This idiom means 'I was so overjoyed that I
felt overwhelmed.'
It
is used to describe a person experiencing extreme joy.

喜不自勝(I was so overjoyed that I felt
overwhelmed.)
中國的漢王朝末年，中國各地的軍閥的軍事力量勝過中央政府，中央政府失去對中國各地的軍閥的控制力。
這些軍閥相互間不斷的戰爭，最後留下三股最大的勢力。
這三股勢力的領導者分別是(曹操)、(孫權)和(劉備)，曹操的兒子名叫(曹丕)，(曹丕)建立的曹魏王國、孫權建立了東吳王國，劉備建立了蜀漢王國。
為了成為最後的統一整個中國的勝利者，這三股勢力有時候彼此合作，有時候彼此攻擊。
西元219年，蜀漢王國的一個非常偉大的名字叫做(關羽)的將軍發動對曹魏王國的進攻，這場進攻取得了巨大的勝利。
但是關羽的勝利沒有持續多久，曹魏王國在(曹操)的帶領下迅速發動了反攻，東吳王國的軍隊也利用這個機會發動對關羽所帶領的軍隊的奇襲。
這場戰役最後的結果對蜀漢王國是一個巨大的損失，不但是關羽被東吳王國的軍隊所俘虜且殺，而且蜀漢王國還失去了一片極具戰略價值的領土，。
曹魏王國勝利的消息傳回首都之後，曹魏王國一個非常重要的名字叫做(鍾繇)的大臣寫了一封信給身在前線的(曹操)。
(鍾繇)這封信中有一段的大意如下。
當我聽到我們的士兵打敗了關羽所率領的軍隊的這個好消息後，我高興到感覺自己無法承受的程度。
我的臉上就堆滿了笑容，我感覺到歡欣跳躍，我的內心有著巨大的快樂感受。
我現在希望你們可以平安地回來，我每天都熱烈地期盼再見到你們。
這句成語的意思是我高興到感覺自己無法承受的程度。
這句成語被用來形容一個人感受到極度的快樂。
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。
你這輩子最開心的時候是何時呢你當時感受到極度快樂的原因為何呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
