關於榮辱觀的小故事---十二生肖
On the concept of honor, a little story -- the Zodiac
有一次，有機會和歐洲貴族聚餐。可能酒喝多了，一位德國貴族站了起來，諷刺說︰" 你們中國人都是屬什麼豬啊!狗啊﹗老鼠啊﹗不像我們，都是金牛座、獅子座、仙女座 ……真不知道你們祖先怎麼想的？
Once a chance to dinner and the European aristocracy. May drink more, a German nobility stood up, Ironically said : "You Chinese people are welcoming what is! Pig, Dog! rats ! Unlike us, are Taurus, Lions, Andromeda ... really do not know how your ancestors think?
"當時這些貴族聽完哈哈大笑，還互相碰杯，先前的優雅完全不見了。按理說，人家在罵你祖宗了，你即使沒有話說，起碼可以掀桌子啊﹗但所有人都坐著不吭聲，也可能是還沒回應過來，我當時只好平和地告訴在場所有外賓︰"中國人的祖先是很實在的，我們十二生肖兩兩相對，六道輪回，體現了我們祖先對中國人全部的期望跟要求。"這時，現場氣氛雖然從嬉鬧轉為安靜，但是他們臉上還是一副不屑的樣子。
"At the time these elite listening to laughter, but also sniffed each other, the previous elegant completely disappeared. Normally, others will call you our ancestors, even if you said no, at least it overturned a table ah! but everybody sit remained silent or may is not up to respond, I had to calm the scene told all foreign guests : "The ancestors of the Chinese people is very real, we relative zodiac February 2, 6 reincarnation, the expression of our ancestors of the Chinese people's expectations with all requirements. "At this time, although the scene from the rollicking atmosphere to a quiet, but they still face a look of disdain.
我說︰" 第一組是老鼠和牛。老鼠代表智慧，牛代表勤奮。智慧和勤奮一定要緊緊結合在一起。如果光有智慧不勤奮!那就變成小聰明；而光是勤奮，不動腦筋，那就變成愚蠢。所以這兩者一定要結合，這是我們祖先對中國人的第一組期望和要求，也是最重要的一組。
I said : "The first group of rats and cattle. Rats represent wisdom, cattle industry representatives. the wisdom and hard work must be closely together. If not hard-wise! then the cleverness; and just hard work, not their brains, it becomes stupid. Therefore, this must be a combination of both. This is our ancestors to the first group of expectations and demands, the most important of a group.
" 第二組是老虎和兔子。老虎代表勇猛，兔子代表謹慎。勇猛和謹慎一定要緊緊結合在一起，才能做到所謂的膽大心細。如果勇猛離開了謹慎，就變成了魯莽，而你沒有勇猛，一味的謹慎，謹慎就變成膽怯。這一組也非常重要，所以放在第二 。 "我看著這些貴族，補上一句︰ "所以當我們表現出謹慎的時候，千萬不要以為我們中國人沒有勇猛的一面。""
實際上，我們祖先追求的是一種和諧的智慧和圓融，從來不會單獨給一個要求和任務。
"看著大家陷入沈思，我繼續往下說。
"The second group is the tiger and rabbit. Tiger representatives brave, rabbit represents care. brave and caution must closely combine can we do the so-called bold observant. If the ferocity and left the caution, becomes a reckless, and you had no ferocity, always cautious and prudent become timid. this group is also very important, so on the second. "I look at these elite, adds : "Therefore, when we show caution when Do not think that we are not brave Chinese side. "" In fact, our ancestors pursuit of a harmonious wisdom and harmony. never one to separate requirements and tasks. "Watching everyone into consideration, I will continue to descend said.
" 第三組是龍和蛇。龍代表剛猛，蛇代表柔韌。所謂剛者易折，太剛了容易折斷，但是如果只有柔的一面，就易失去主見，所以剛柔並濟是我們歷代的祖訓。
"The third group is the dragon and snake. The dragon is fierce and representatives of the tree snake. The so-called "gang" were easy to break, if too stiff just too easily broken, But if only Sophie side, easily lost on his own idea, and our ancestors never fails to keep our balance. '
"接下來是馬和羊。馬代表一往無前，直奔目標，羊代表和順。
如果一個人只顧自己直奔目標，罔顧周遭，必然會和周遭不斷磕碰，最後不見得能達到目標。但是一個人如果光顧著和周遭和順，之后他連方向都沒有了，目標也失去了。所以一往無前的秉性一定要與和順緊緊結合在一起，這是我們祖先對中國人的第四組期望。
"Followed by horses and sheep. Horses representative fashion straight goals, sheep amiable. If only one person went straight to their targets, ignoring around, and will continue around invisible, Finally not been able to achieve our goals. But if a person is patronizing and around amiable, even after he had no direction, target had lost. Therefore, the propensity of perseverance and amiable must closely combine This is our ancestors of the Chinese people hope that the fourth group.
"再接下來是猴子和雞。猴子代表靈活，至於雞呢，以前的年代沒有鐘，都是聽雞鳴聲決定一天的開始，所以雞定時打鳴，代表恆定。靈活和恆定一定要緊緊結合起來，如果你光靈活，沒有恆定，再好的政策最後也得不到斬獲。但如果說你光是恆定，一潭死水、一塊鐵板，那就不會有我們今天的改革開放了。只有它們之間非常
圓融的結合，一方面具有穩定性，保持整體的和諧和秩序，另一方面又能不斷變通地前 進，這才是最根本的要旨。"Followed by another monkey and chicken. Monkeys on behalf of flexible As for the chicken, it's not before the bell. listen cocks are sound decision to start the day, Southwest chicken regularly. representatives constant. flexible and constant must closely integrate, if you-flexible, not constant, even the best policies have not won the final. But if you just constant, the pool of stagnant water, a plate, we would not have today's reform open. Only very harmonious between them, the combination with its stability, to maintain the overall harmony and order, the other can continue to advance alternative, this is the most fundamental thrust.
" 最後是狗和豬。狗是代表忠誠，豬是代表隨和。一個人如果太忠誠，不懂得隨和，就會排斥他人。而反過來，一個人太隨和，沒有忠誠，這個人就失去原則。所以無論是對一個民族國家的忠誠、對團隊的忠誠,
還是自己理想的忠誠，一定要與隨和緊緊結合在一起，這樣才容易真正保持內心深處的忠誠。這就是我們中國人一直堅持的外圓內方，君子和而不同。
"Finally, dogs and pigs. Dogs are loyal representative, pigs represent easygoing. If a person is too loyal and do not know how easygoing, others will be excluded. and in turn, a very easygoing person, no loyalty, this person will lose principle. so it is a nation of integrity, loyalty to the team, or our own ideals of integrity, and easygoing must closely combine it will be easier to maintain real deep loyalty. This is what we have always insisted the Chinese people within the cylindrical side, Gentlemen different.
"中國人每個人都有屬于自己的生肖，有的人屬豬，有的人屬狗，這意義何在？實際上，我們的祖先期望我們要圓融，不能偏頗，要求我們懂得到對應面切入。比如屬豬的人能夠在他的隨和本性中，也去追求…?
而屬狗的人則在忠誠的本性中，去做到隨和。
"The Chinese people have their own stamps, some people are pigs, and some were dogs, what is the point? In fact, our ancestors expect us to harmony, not biased, we know how to maneuver counterparts. For example, the pig who is in his easygoing nature, but also to the pursuit of ... ? which is the dog were in the nature of loyalty, to do so easygoing.
"解釋完十二生肖，我說︰"不知道你們那些寶瓶座啊、射手座啊、公羊座啊，體現了你們祖先哪些期望和要求？也希望不吝賜教。
"Interpreting the zodiac, I said :" You do not know who Aquarius ah striker Block, ah, ah ram Block, reflect what your ancestors expectations and demands? Also I hope all of you give me a tip.
"結果呢，這些貴族老爺們很長時間都沒說話，全場鴉雀無聲，一根針掉在地上都能聽見。最後貴族們紛紛由衷地表示對中國人和中國人的祖先非常敬佩"沒有想到中國的十二 生肖有這麼深刻而實在的意義。
"The outcome was that these noble lords is no longer speak and finished dead silent. a needle fall to the ground can hear. Finally aristocracy who have sincerely expressed to the Chinese people and Chinese people's ancestors great admiration " China did not expect the zodiac so profound and concrete meaning.
