對外介紹漢語典故:畫餅充飢

Draw a pancake to allay hunger-Feed on illusions

Lu Yu was a learned man of integrity in the period of Three Kingdoms (220-280), serving as a senior official.

Once the emperor was selecting talents for a post, officials recommended a lot of famous people. The emperor of Wei said, "I would like to let Lu Yu select the right person instead of those well-known but incapable ones. Fame is just like a pancake drawn on the wall. You cannot eat it."

Lu Yu suggested the emperor to combine examination with selection. From then on, officials were appointed according to their real ability. Lu Yu's method for selection was widely praised.

The idiom came from what the emperor said. At first, it indicated enjoying a empty fame". Later, people use it to describe satisfying oneself by imagining things or consoling oneself with false hopes.

三國時期(220-280),有一個正直的文人叫盧毓 ,在魏國做大官。

一次宮中選拔人才,官員們推薦了許多有名的`人,魏國的皇帝說:“讓盧毓來選人,我不要這些只有名聲而沒有真才實學的人。名聲就像畫在牆上的餅,不可以拿來吃。”

盧毓建議皇帝選拔和考試相結合。從此,皇帝根據個人的實際能力來任命官員。盧毓的方法得到了大家的稱讚。

成語“畫餅充飢”就來自於皇帝所說的話。一開始,它指有名聲而沒本領。後來,人們用它來比喻以不切實際的空想來滿足自己。
