Chinese Idiom 亡羊补牢
战国时期,楚襄王统治楚国时,国势不振。楚王和重要的大臣都荒淫无能。他们一直沉溺于奢侈享乐之中。大臣庄辛预见到楚国会发生危险。一天他劝谏楚王说:“陛下,无论您走到哪儿,身旁总是那些奉承您的人,他们想尽办法让您高兴,您就忘了处理国事。长此以往,国家迟早会灭亡的。” 楚王大怒:“大胆!你居然用这样恶毒的话来诅咒我的国家,蓄意挑起人民的不满!” 庄辛解释说:“我不敢诅咒楚国,但我可以预言楚国正面临着巨大的危险。” 庄辛见楚王如此宠信那些腐败的大臣,相信楚国必定要亡国。于是他向楚王请求离开楚国,到赵国居住一段时候。 楚王同意了,他便到赵国去了。五个月之后,秦君果然派军入侵楚国,占领了大片土地。楚王被迫流亡。这时,他想起了庄辛的劝谏,于是派人接庄辛回来。楚王见了庄辛,便问:“现在我该怎么办呢?” 庄辛回答说:“丢了羊,就把羊圈修好,不算迟。”然后他提出许多如何重振国家,收复失地的好谋略。楚王非常高兴。
