金石为开

Jīn Shí Wèi Kāi

只要心意真诚,专注到底,再坚硬的东西也挡不住你。

With true sincerity and focus, even metal and stone can be pierced.

汉hàn朝cháo有yǒu一yī位wèi大dà将jiāng军jūn,名míng叫jiào李lǐ广guǎng,他tā力lì气qì很hěn大dà,箭jiàn法fǎ也yě非fēi常cháng高gāo明míng。

一yī天tiān傍bàng晚wǎn,李lǐ广guǎng打dǎ完wán仗zhàng回huí营yíng,路lù过guò一yī片piàn草cǎo地dì。天tiān色sè昏hūn暗àn,忽hū然rán看kàn见jiàn前qián面miàn草cǎo丛cóng里lǐ伏fú着zhe一yì只zhī大dà老lǎo虎hǔ!他tā心xīn里lǐ一yī惊jīng,立lì刻kè拉lā满mǎn弓gōng,对duì准zhǔn老lǎo虎hǔ射shè了le一yī箭jiàn。

第dì二èr天tiān天tiān亮liàng,他tā带dài人rén去qù看kàn那nà只zhī老lǎo虎hǔ,走zǒu近jìn一yī看kàn,大dà家jiā都dōu吓xià了le一yī跳tiào——那nà不bù是shì老lǎo虎hǔ,是shì一yī块kuài大dà石shí头tóu,而ér李lǐ广guǎng的de箭jiàn竟jìng然rán深shēn深shēn地de插chā进jìn了le石shí头tóu里lǐ,怎zěn么me拔bá也yě拔bá不bù出chū来lái。

李lǐ广guǎng很hěn惊jīng讶yà,他tā又yòu对duì着zhe石shí头tóu射shè了le几jǐ箭jiàn,箭jiàn却què一yī支zhī支zhī弹dàn了le回huí来lái。有yǒu人rén说shuō:“昨zuó天tiān你nǐ把bǎ石shí头tóu当dàng成chéng老lǎo虎hǔ,全quán部bù心xīn思sī都dōu放fàng在zài它tā身shēn上shàng,所suǒ以yǐ箭jiàn才cái能néng射shè进jìn去qù。”

后hòu人rén由yóu此cǐ说shuō:“精jīng诚chéng所suǒ至zhì,金jīn石shí为wéi开kāi。”意yì思sī是shì:只zhǐ要yào心xīn意yì真zhēn诚chéng,专zhuān心xīn到dào底dǐ,再zài坚jiān硬yìng的de东dōng西xī也yě会huì为wèi你nǐ打dǎ开kāi。

In the Han dynasty there was a famous general named Li Guang, known for his strength and his skill with a bow.

One evening, on his way back to camp after battle, he passed through a meadow. In the dim light he thought he saw a huge tiger crouching in the grass. His heart leapt. He drew his bow to the full and shot.

The next morning he went with his men to find the tiger. When they looked closely, they were astonished — it wasn't a tiger at all, but a large rock. Yet Li Guang's arrow had buried itself deep inside the stone, and no one could pull it out.

Li Guang was amazed. He shot at the rock again, but every arrow now bounced off. Someone said, “Yesterday you truly believed it was a tiger. Your whole heart was on it, so the arrow went in.”

From this came the saying, “Where sincerity reaches, even gold and stone will open.” With a true, focused heart, no obstacle can stand in the way.
