Chinese proverbs are rich and they are
still widely used in Chinese people’s
daily life.
31
these proverbs,
there are
often interesting stories. For example, the
proverb, “plucking up a crop
32
(help) it grow”, is
based on the
following story.
It is said
that a short-tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960
—
1279) was very anxious to
help
33
rice crop
grow
up
quickly.
He
was
thinking
about
34
day
and
night.
But
the
crop
was
growing
much
slower
than
he
expected.
One
day, he came up with an idea
35
he would pluck up all of his crop a few
inches. He did so the next
day.
He
was
very
tired
36
doing
this
for
a
whole
day,
37
he
felt
very
happy
since
the
crop
did
“grow”
38
(high).
His son heard about this
and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves
of the crop began to wither.
This
proverb is saying we have to let things go in
their
39
(nature) course. Being too anxious to help an
event
develop often
40
(result) in the contrary to our
intention.
