中國的宋王朝時代有一個著名的學者，他的名字是邵雍(西元1012-西元1077)，歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
邵雍的智慧與思考的深度超越他們那個時代的所有人，他能夠透過一些微小的徵兆去準確的預判未來將要發生的事。儒家有一個重要的名字叫做程顥的學者曾經這樣讚美邵雍。程顥說。
邵雍的心非常的乾淨與透明，所以他能夠覺察到整個世界運行的法則。
邵雍的朋友們對邵雍有著下列的共同評價。
邵雍用一種輕鬆的方式生活，生命對他而言就像是一場遊戲。
邵雍有著一顆極其細膩與敏銳的心靈，他可以感受到這個世界上的看的到的與看不到的所有訊息，所以他能夠藉由感受到這些細微的訊息的變化去預知未來將發生的事情。
邵雍65歲那一年，他生了重病，他那幾個最好的朋友在他的生命最後一段時間都陪在他的身旁，他知道自己將要離開這個世界，有一天，他對他的兒子說。
我的那些好朋友們正在討論一件事，他們想要幫我辦一場隆重的喪禮並且幫我找一塊好的墓地，你去告訴他們，我很感謝他們的心意，但我死後，我想要埋葬在我麼父親與母親的墳墓旁，這是我的心願。
邵雍死後，他的朋友們依照他的心願將他葬在他的父親與母親的墓旁，程顥寫了他的墓誌銘。
墓誌銘中有下列幾句話。
邵雍的一生過的純粹且單一且沒有雜質，他的一生平安快樂；他在學問的追求上又有成就，他的人生高度超越了我們所有人。
這句成語的直接翻譯的意思是純粹且單一且沒有雜質。
這句成語被用來形容一個人擁有非常簡單與乾淨的心靈。
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。
你想過你的墓誌銘上會寫上哪些話呢?
站在死亡面前，你認為你現在正在做最重要的事情嗎?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。

Pure, simple, and without impurities.(純一不雜)
This blog was created with the aim of
introducing Chinese culture to international friends. For the sake of
simplicity and ease of understanding, official titles have been translated into
their commonly used names. This is for the sake of convenience, not historical
accuracy. If you wish to consult more rigorous historical materials, please
refer to the sources listed at the end of the article.
During the Song dynasty in China, there was
a famous scholar named Shao Yong (1012–1077 AD). History books tell a story
about him.
Shao Yong's wisdom and depth of thought
surpassed anyone else of his time. He could accurately predict future events
through subtle omens. A prominent Confucian scholar named Cheng Hao once
praised Shao Yong, saying: Cheng Hao said... 'Shao Yong's heart was
exceptionally pure and transparent, enabling him to perceive the laws governing
the world.'
His friends shared the following assessment
of him:
He lived a carefree life, treating it like
a game.
He possessed an extremely delicate and
perceptive mind, enabling him to sense all visible and invisible messages in
the world and predict future events by sensing subtle changes in them.
Shao Yong fell seriously ill when he was
65. His closest friends stayed by his side during his final days. Realising
that his time was limited, he told his son one day,
'My friends are discussing something. They
want to help me with a grand funeral and find a good burial plot. Go and tell
them that I am grateful for their kindness. However, after I die, I wish to be
buried next to my parents' graves. This is my wish."
After Shao Yong's death, his friends buried
him next to his parents' graves, as he had wished. Cheng Hao wrote his epitaph.
The epitaph contains the following lines:
'Shao Yong's life was pure, singular and
without impurities. He lived a peaceful and happy life, achieving great things
in his pursuit of knowledge. His life's height surpasses all of ours.'
This idiom translates directly as 'pure,
simple, and without impurities'.
It is used to describe someone with a very
simple and pure heart.
Dear friend, what are your thoughts or feelings after hearing this story?
Have you ever thought about what you would
like written on your epitaph?
Facing death, do you think you are doing
the most important thing right now?
I hope this story gives you some new
insights.
