Origin Story
从前,有个村子里来了个秀才,他要给村民们讲解治国之道。他翻开书卷,念诵着古文经典,用词华丽,典故繁多,村民们听得一头雾水,不知所云。这时,一位老农站出来说道:“先生,您的学问固然高深,但能否用我们听得懂的话来说呢?”秀才这才意识到自己的错误,放下书卷,用通俗易懂的语言,讲述了如何团结互助,共同建设家园的故事。村民们听得津津有味,茅塞顿开,纷纷表示受益匪浅。
Once upon a time, a scholar came to a village to explain to the villagers the principles of good governance. He opened his book and read from ancient texts, using ornate words and numerous allusions. The villagers were completely baffled. At this point, an old farmer stood up and said: "Sir, your knowledge may be profound, but could you explain it to us in a language that we understand?" The scholar then realized his mistake, put down his book, and explained in simple, easy-to-understand language how people should help each other and work together to build their homes. The villagers listened attentively and were enlightened and expressed that they had benefited greatly.
