Louis XVI : Un Roi Malheureux au Destin Tragique (B2)

너를 안으면 풀꽃 냄새가 난다
세상에 오직 하나 있는 꽃,
아무도 이름 지어 주지 않는 꽃,
네게서는 나만 아는 풀꽃 냄새가 난다.

12月31日大みそかには、お寺で鐘（かね）ついて、人の心にある悪い気持ちを追い出しました（おいだす remove）。新年の前の日だからです。また、やりましたよ。今度は2月3日。世の中にある悪いモノ、例えばコロナとか、そういうものを、豆（まめ  bean）をまいて、家から追い出しました。2月4日から「春」だからです。日本人、ほんとうにきれい好きです。悪いモノ＝鬼（おに）を追い出す、この行事を「節分 せつぶん」と言います。でもさ、鬼も追い出されたままではないようです。最近はビジネスしてるみたい！そんなお話を少し。

Hi guys, long time no speak. I've been so busy lately but I came back for another podcast.
I finished reading the book of Robert Greene, "The 48 Laws of Power." It is such an interesting book and I would like to share the three laws that I liked the most in this book.
Law number one: 'Never outshine the master."

        山西省大同市，是中国的一个四线城市，我们介绍“悬空寺“时提到的“浑源县“就属于这里。Datong City, Shanxi Province, is a fourth-tier city in China. The "Hunyuan County" mentioned in the introduction of "Xuankong Temple" belongs here.
        虽然这个城市的经济不像一线和超一线城市那么发达，但是每年都有世界各地的旅游者、络绎不绝地来到这里。Although the economy of this city is not as developed as the first and super first tier cities, but every year there are tourists from all over the world, an endless stream to come here.
        原因很简单：举世闻名的“云冈石窟“就在这个城市。The reason is simple: the world-famous Yungang Grottoes are located in this city.
