A warm, gentle atmosphere(一團和氣)
During the Song dynasty in China, there
were two renowned brothers: Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi. They were renowned thinkers
and Confucian scholars, and had many students.
The brothers had distinctly different
personalities and teaching styles. Cheng Hao was gentle and kind, while Cheng
Yi was strict and authoritative.
One of their students, Xie Liangzuo,
recalled details of Cheng Hao's life and his impressions of him:
'When I first met Cheng Hao, he said to me,
"Based on my observation of you, you
have a very open mind. You are not as constrained as most people. As long as
you are willing to conduct serious research, you will achieve great things in
the future.'
His evaluation made me very happy and, from
that moment on, I decided to dedicate myself to academic research.
On another occasion, while explaining his
understanding of the core tenets of Confucianism to us, Cheng Hao smiled and
said..." 'You are like drunkards. A drunkard is too weak to stand. To help
a drunkard up, you must apply force from both sides simultaneously. If one side
is weaker, the person will lean towards the weaker side.'
In order for you to fully grasp the
Confucian knowledge I wish to impart, I must be extremely careful to avoid any
biased thinking due to a lack of thorough understanding.
If I were to describe the impression Cheng
Hao made on me, I would say this:
He sat as still and stable as a clay idol.
His personality was very gentle. When he
spoke to us and interacted with us, we felt as if we were surrounded by a warm,
gentle atmosphere.
This idiom means 'a warm, gentle
atmosphere'.
It is used to describe someone who makes
others feel kind and gentle.
It can also be used to describe a place
with a kind and pleasant atmosphere.

一團和氣(A warm, gentle atmosphere)
中國的宋王朝，有一對著名的兄弟，哥哥的名字是(程顥)、弟弟的名字是(程頤)。他們兩個人是當時最著名的思想家與儒家的學者，他們有很多學生。
程顥與程頤的性格與教學風格有很明顯的差異，程顥的性格很溫和，讓人感覺非常的和善，程頤的個性很嚴謹，讓人感覺非常的威嚴。
他們有一個名字叫做謝良佐的學生，這個學生曾經這樣回憶程顥生平的一些細節與他對程顥的感受。
我第一次見到程顥時他對我說。
根據我對你的觀察，你的想法很開放，你不像大多數人依樣受拘束，只要你願意認真的做研究，你以後會有很大的成就。
程顥對我的評價讓我非常的開心，我從那個時候就決定要好好地從事學術上的研究。
有一次程顥在對我們講解他所體會到的儒家的核心要義時，他笑著對我們說。
你們就好像喝醉酒的人，一個喝醉酒的人因為全身無力所以這個人站立不住。如果要扶起一個喝醉的人，那麼就要同時注意要從這個人的左右兩邊同時發力，如果有一邊的力量比較小，那麼這個人就會傾斜到力氣比較小的那一邊。
為了可以讓你們完整的學到我所想要分享給你們的儒家知識，我要非常的小心才能避免你們在學習的過程中因為沒有透徹地了解而產生想法上的偏執啊。
如果要我形容程顥帶給我的感覺，我會這樣形容。
他坐著的就好像一個泥土做成的土偶一樣穩定不動。
他的性格很溫和，他在跟我們說話和相處的時候，我們感覺久就好像被一團和煦的空氣圍繞在身邊一樣。
這句成語的意思是一團和煦的空氣。
這句成語被用來形容一個人帶給人們和藹和善的感覺。
這句成語也可以被用來形容一個地方的氣氛非常的和善與非常好。
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。
你喜歡跟那些人相處呢?你是否有認識這種帶人們溫暖的感覺的人呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
