Especially good examples of celebrities who are ambitious, and related cases of lofty ambitions

Fang Zhongyong's story is an exemplary example of how high ambition can achieve nothing.

The full story is as follows:

Fang Zhongyong, a civilian in Jinxi, has been farming for generations. When he was five years old, he never knew pen, ink, paper, or inkstone, and (one day) he suddenly cried out for these things. His father was amazed at this, and borrowed it from a neighbor, and (Nakayoung) immediately wrote four lines of poetry with his own name.

The content of this poem is to support parents and unite people of the same clan, and it is transmitted to the talents of the whole township. From then on, he was given an object to compose a poem, and (he could) write it immediately, and the poetry was worth seeing in terms of style and truth.

The people of the same county were amazed by him, and gradually invited his father to be a guest, and some even paid for Zhongyong's inscription. His father thought it was profitable, and every day he led Nakayoung around to visit people in the same county, and did not allow (him) to study.

I've heard this for a long time. During the Ming Dao years, I returned to my hometown with my late father and met him at my uncle's house, who was twelve or thirteen years old. Let him compose poetry, and the poetry is no longer worthy of his former fame.

After another seven years, (I) came back from Yangzhou, went to my uncle's house again, asked about Fang Zhongyong's situation, and said: "(He has) completely disappeared and become an ordinary person." ”

Initially, harriers can make a pleasant scream. When he heard the neighing of the horse, he thought it was very good, and liked it very much.

Keep trying to learn the neighing sound of a horse. In the end, not only did he not learn at all, but he also couldn't even scream his original voice.

The story is that those who are ambitious always want something outside of their nature, and in the end they don't get more than they lose.

Everything that was meant to be was lost.

Talk about being ambitious and down-to-earth.

Speaking of our ancestors, one word, amazing! They have created a dazzling Chinese civilization of 5,000 years, which has a long history and is rich and colorful. The emergence of writing is an important milestone in the history of mankind, allowing human civilization to be handed down in written form.

The meaning of the two idioms is diametrically opposed, and here, I am not talking about their oppositeness, but how to combine the two with down-to-earth.

I checked the idiom dictionary, and it explains that it is ambitious and down-to-earth.

Good ambition, interpretation: good: like; High: Up, High, Top; 骛: Pursuit. Distance: Far away, it also has the meaning of top.
