成語故事:光明磊落

Describes an open-minded, innocent and selfless person. 

形容心地坦蕩、清白無私。

ExampleHe is an upright person and never does anything shameful.

【例】他為人光明磊落,從不做見不得人的事。


 

 "磊落"

 means bright and honest,


 and "光明磊落"


 means having a bright and


 selfless heart and an open


 mind.


「磊落」是光明坦直的意思,「光明磊落」則是心地光明無私,胸懷坦蕩。


 This term is used in "The Classified Saying of Master


 Zhu". 


Zhu Xi was a Neo-Confucian


 scholar in the Southern


 Song Dynasty. 


The book "The Classified


Saying of Master


 Zhu"


 records the dialogue


 between him and his


 disciples.

此語見用於《朱子語類》。朱熹是南宋的理學家,《朱子語類》這本書即記載他與門人弟子間的對話。


 A student asked him about

 the hexagrams of the Book


 of Changes: "The "Book of


 Changes" says that "the


 hexagrams have small and


 large ones."

有學生問他有關易經卦辭的問題:「《易經繫辭》裡說『卦有小大』,

The old saying is that the

 hexagrams are "big

 animals," "small animals,"

 and "big mistakes" in the

 "Book of Changes." , 'Xiao

 Guo', but are these the

 only four hexagrams?"


舊說是《易經》裡的『大畜』、『小畜』、『大過』、『小過』四個卦,但就是只有這四卦嗎?」


 Zhu Xi replied: "It should be said that all good hexagrams can be called big, and bad hexagrams can be called small. The so-called "hexagrams have small and big" means that hexagrams can be good or bad, just like people can be divided into good and bad.

朱熹回答:「應該是說凡是好的卦都可稱為,不好的卦都稱為小,所謂『卦有小大』,就是卦有好有壞,就像人也有分好壞一樣。


 

People who are aboveboard are good people, and people who are foolish and deceitful are bad people. "Being upright" means being calm and tolerant.

光明磊落的人就是好人,昏庸詭詐的人就是壞人。」「磊落」即是指坦然寬大的樣子。


 

《晉書.卷一○五.石勒載記下》就有這樣的用法:「大丈夫行事當礌(同『磊』)礌落落,如日月皎然。」


 

礌礌落落」指志向高,胸懷坦然。朱熹用「光明磊落」形容心胸坦蕩無私的人。


 

後來「光明磊落」就一直沿用下來,形容心地無私,胸懷坦蕩。
