But before long their country was in danger of being invaded by the troops of the Sui Dynasty. Princess Lechang and Xu Deyan had a premonition that their county would be occupied by the invaders and they would have to leave the palace and go into exile. During the chaos they might lose touch with each other. They broke a bronze mirror, a symbol of the unity of husband and wife into two parts and each of them kept a half. They aGREed that each would take their half of the mirror to the fair during the Lantern Festival, which is on the 15th day of the first Lunar month, in the hope that would meet again. When they were united the two halves would join together. Soon their premonition came true. During the chaos of war, the princess lost touch with her husband was taken to a powerful minister Yang Su's house and was made his mistress.
At the Lantern Festival the next year, Xu Deyan took his half of the mirror to the fair. He hoped that he could meet his wife. It so happened that a servant was selling the other half of the bronze mirror. Xu Deyan recognized it immediately. He asked the servant about his wife. As he heard about her bitter experience, tears rolled down his cheeks. Xu Deyan wrote a poem on the half of the mirror kept by hito get Lechang's love. So he sent for Xu Deyan and allowed the husband and wife to reunite.

那個僕人把題了詩的銅鏡帶回來,交給了樂昌公主。一連幾天,她都終日以淚洗面,因為她知道丈夫還活著而且想念她,但他們卻無法再相見了。

:半途而廢
Give up halfway
During the Warring States Period ***475-221BC***, there was a man called Yue Yangzi in State Yue. One day he saw a piece of gold on the road and picked it up. He took it home and gave it to his wife. But his wife was not happy. The virtuous woman said, "I hear that a man of morality doesn't drink a thief's water and a man of probity refuses to accept alms. What do you think of the action of picking up another's lost valuable and possessing it for one's own?"
Yue Yangzi, feeling ashamed, sent the gold back to where he found it.
the next year, Yue Yangzi felt that he should go out and visit scholars to enrich his knowledge. So he set off.
A year later, he came back home suddenly.
"Why have you returned?" asked his wife in surprise, "You've only spent one year studying with scholars."
"I come back because I missed you very much."
Without saying anything, his wife took a pair of scissors and went to the loom at which she had worked. Pointing at the half done brocade, she proclaimed : "This brocade is woven from the finest silk. I wove one strand after another to produce the brocade. Now if I cut it, all my previous work will be wasted. It's the same with your studies. You can acquire knowledge only through diligence. Now, you've stopped halfway. Isn't it the same as cutting the brocade on the loom?"
Yue Yangzi was moved by what she said. He again left home to visit scholars. Several years later he became a learned man.
半途而廢
戰國時期,魏國有個叫樂羊子的人。有一天,樂羊子在路上看到一塊金子,他就撿起金子,帶回了家並把它拿給妻子看。可他妻子一點兒也不高興。這個賢惠的女人對他說:"我聽人說'壯士不飲盜泉之水;廉潔的人不食嗟來之食'。把別人遺失的貴重之物撿起來據為己有,你怎麼看待這種行為呢?"
樂羊子聽了妻子的話,覺得很慚愧,就把那塊金子又扔到原來的地方。
第二年,樂羊子離開家到了一個很遠的地方,去拜師求學。
一年後,樂羊子突然回到家中,他的妻子很驚訝地問:"你怎麼回來了?你才和那些學者學了一年呀。"樂羊子說:"我太想你了,所以回來看看。"
他的妻子聽了以後,二話不說,拿起把剪刀走到她的織布機前。她指著那塊已經完成了一半的錦緞說:"這塊錦緞用的是最好的絲。我一絲絲的累積來織成這錦緞。如果我現在把它剪斷,就等於前功盡棄。你求學也是這樣。如果現在停止,和剪斷織布機上的錦緞有什麼區別?"
樂羊子被妻子的話所感動,於是立刻離開家,繼續拜師求學。
幾年後,樂羊子終於完成學業,成為一個博學的人。
