One day, Xiao Ming accidentally found a sentence in an ancient book: "Those who know me are happy, and I am precious, and I am a saint who is brown and jade." He asked Lao Li next to him curiously: "What does 'being brown and jade' mean?" Lao Li pushed his glasses and began to explain with a smile.
"Brown Huaizhu, oh no, it's Brown Huaiyu." Lao Li corrected, "The 'be' here is not pronounced 'bèi', but should be pronounced 'pī'."
The term originated in ancient times to describe a person who, although simple on the outside, has a talent and virtue like a treasure jade on the inside. It's like a person who wears coarse cloth clothes, but hides precious jade in his arms. ”
After hearing this, Xiao Ming's eyes lit up: "Isn't this the kind of person who has low-key luxury and connotation?" ”
"Haha, so to speak." Lao Li said with a smile, "Imagine that in ancient times, there was a person who wore ordinary clothes and walked on the street, looking no different from ordinary people. But in reality, he was a brilliant poet or a thoughtful philosopher. He is unassuming, but his heart is full of wisdom and beauty. ”
Xiao Ming nodded: "Such a person is the real treasure!" ”
"That's right, that's how it is." Lao Li added, "This word also reminds us not to judge people by their appearance. Some people may seem ordinary, but they may have amazing talent and abilities inside. And those who are glamorous on the outside may not be as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. ”
"It's like some fruits, they look inconspicuous, but when you bite into them, they are full of sweetness." Xiao Ming said thoughtfully.
"Yes, that's exactly what it means." Lao Li agreed, "Therefore, we must learn to discover and appreciate those who are 'brown and pearled' in our lives, and give them the recognition and respect they deserve." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Ming was deeply inspired: "I also want to strive to be a person who is 'brown and pearled', unassuming, but full of wisdom and kindness in my heart." ”
"Good!" Lao Li patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder, "Remember, real treasures are often hidden in inconspicuous places, just like those who are 'browned with pearls'. ”
Later, Xiao Ming studied hard, constantly improved himself, and became a talented and virtuous person. Although he does not have a gorgeous appearance, his heart is like a brilliant jade, exuding a charming light.
This story tells us that "being browned" is not only a compliment, but also an attitude towards life. It encourages us not to pursue too much external splendor and vanity, but to pay more attention to inner cultivation and improvement. Only in this way can we become real people who are "browned with pearls" and bring more beauty and wisdom to this world.
So, when you meet people who are plainly dressed and have an unassuming appearance, you might as well pay more attention. Maybe they are the treasures of the "brown pearls" around you!
