Learn Chinese - 大意失荆州 - JIng Zhou is lost because of negligence

by admin on January 23rd, 2008

大 da 意 yi 失 shi 荆 jing 州 zhou Jing Zhou is lost because of negligence.

A somewhat Trojan-horse like account led to this proverb.

Enemy soldiers were able to disguise themselves as merchants and become friends of the guards of Jing Zhou.

At a critical time the enemy was let into the city and overtook Jing Zhou because of the carelessness of the guards.

No entrepeneur with dreams of establishing a thriving business will want to have this said about them.
