One year it did not rain for a long time in the State of Qi, and there was an extremely severe drought.
有一年,齊國很長時間沒有下雨,發(fā)生了特大旱災(zāi)。
Jing Gong, the King of Qi, was very worried. He wanted to offer sacrifices to the mountain deity to pray for rain. His prime minister Yan Zi said to him:
國王齊景公心里非常焦急,他想去祭祀山神求雨。宰相晏子對他說:
“Your Majesty, don’t do that. . it is no use to beg the mountain deity for mercy. The soil in the mountains is like his muscle; the grass and trees in the mountains are like his hair. When it doesn’t rain for a long time, the hair of the mountain deity will wither and his muscles will be seared in the sun. won’t the mountain deity be anxious for rain too? If he could make it rain, it would have rained long ago.”
“大王,不要去,求山神沒有用處。山上的石頭,就好像山的筋骨;山上的泥土,就好像山的肌肉;山上的草木,就好像山的毛發(fā)。長久不下雨,山神的毛發(fā)。長久不下雨,山神的毛發(fā)也枯死了,肌肉也曬焦了。山神難道就不著急要雨嗎?如果山神能夠使天下雨,那么雨早就已經(jīng)下了。”
