The Chengyu 杞人忧天 (qǐ rén yōu tiān) means “A man in the ancient Qi State fears the sky falling”. The man in the story was haunted by the fear that the sky might fall one day. It tells us there is no need to have imaginary or groundless fears. 古代有个小国叫齐国，齐国有个人性格非常脆弱。大风吹落树叶，他见了很担忧；一只鸟从天上落下来，他又十分害怕。她逢人便说：头上的天会不会也掉下来？别人并不理会，他寻思这些人都疯了。他终日躲在家里不出门，担心天砸到头上。后来，有人告诉他：天是不会往下掉的。他这才稍稍放宽了心，出来走走，却不敢走远。晚上他忽然看到天上一只星星陨落，他又忧心忡忡，仿佛日月星辰掉下来。 In ancient times, there was a small country called Qi. In this country there was a person with a very fragile personality. When the wind blows down the leaves, he is very worried; when a bird falls from the sky, he is very afraid. He said to everyone: will the sky above your head fall down? The others ignored, and he thought these people were crazy. He stayed at home all day, worried that the sky would fall on his head. Later, someone told him: the sky will not fall. Then he relaxed his mind a little and went out for a walk, but he didn't dare to go far. At night, he suddenly saw a star fall in the sky, and he was worried, as if the sun, moon and stars fell down. How to use 杞人忧天: 她 总是 担心 世界 毁灭，简直是 杞人忧天。 tā zǒnɡshì dānxīn shìjiè huǐmiè, jiǎnzhíshì qǐrényōutiān. She always has groundless fear that the world will end. 天气预报说 今天 不下雨，你 出门 带伞 不是 杞人忧天 吗？ tiānqìyùbàoshuō jīntiān búxiàyǔ, nǐ chūmén dàisǎn búshì qǐrényōutiān mɑ? The weather forecast said there is no rain today. Isn’t it useless that you bring an umbrella with you? 你 不必 杞人忧天，生活中 没有 那么多 坏事。 nǐ búbì qǐrényōutiān, shēnɡhuózhōnɡ méiyǒu nàmeduō huàishì. Don’t worry too much. Life isn’t all about bad things. # Chinese course # Adult Chinese Teen Chinese Enterprise Chinese Online Chinese HSK Preparation Summer camp  # Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language   # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students  # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟   Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
