"Han Kiln Fu" is said to be the work of Lu Mengzheng, a minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is said that this poem was written by the author to exhort the prince. So what is the original text of "Hanyao Fu"?
1. Gai Wen knows that there are unpredictable events in the sky, and people are prone to misfortune and good fortune. A centipede with hundreds of legs cannot move as well as a snake; a rooster with two wings cannot fly as fast as a crow. A horse has the ability to travel a thousand miles, but it cannot go there without human power; a man has the ambition to reach the clouds, but it cannot go there without luck.
2. Confucius was famous for his unparalleled articles; Confucius was the master of Chen Cai; his military strategy was outstanding; Jiang Gong fished in the Weishui River. Yan Yuan's life was short, so he was not a vicious person; how could he be a kind person if his life was prolonged by robbing Zhi? Yao and Shun were sages, but they had unworthy sons; Gu Gun was foolish and stubborn, but he had a filial son. Zhang Liangyuan was a commoner, and Xiao He was a county official. Yanzi, who was not five feet tall, was appointed prime minister of Qi; Kongming, who was not strong enough to tie a chicken, was appointed military advisor of Shuhan. The overlord and the hero will inevitably commit suicide in Wujiang; the king of Han is weak and weak, but he has great power. Li Guang has the power to shoot tigers, and he will never have a title until he is old; Feng Tang has the ambition to stabilize the country, but he will never meet him in his life. Han Xin was not met, and he begged for food. He was humiliated and stepped down. When he reached Yuntong, he had the seal of Sanqi tied around his waist. Bai Qi was ordered to lead millions of troops to trap and destroy Zhao soldiers. Once the time failed, he died at the hands of the Yin people.
3. Therefore, in life, wealth cannot be removed, and poverty cannot be moved. He has little talent and little knowledge, but he passed the exam at a young age; he is full of knowledge, and his brilliant head still lives in the mountains. A girl from a brothel becomes a wife when she comes; a concubine who is a concubine becomes a prostitute when she retires. A graceful lady is married to a foolish husband; a handsome and talented man is married to a rough and ugly woman. The dragon has no rain and hides among the fish and turtles; the gentleman loses his time and falls under the villain.
4. Wearing a tattered robe, you always have an appearance of etiquette; your face is sad, but every time you hold your arms, you have peace of mind. When things go wrong, you should just live in poverty and keep your status; if you are not deceived, you will be proud and proud. A gentleman who is poor at first has a natural frame; a villain who is rich at first has not escaped from poverty. Some are poor first and then rich, some are old and strong but young and old. When the sky is out of season, the sun and moon will have no light; when the earth is out of season, vegetation will not grow; when the water is out of season, the wind and waves will be rough; when people are out of season, luck will not flow. Blessings and fortunes are already arranged in your destiny. Who doesn’t want wealth? If a person does not follow the basic eight characters, how can he be a minister?
5. He used to live in Luoyang, begging for food from monks every day and sleeping in a cold kiln at night. If you think about clothes, you cannot cover your body; if you think about food, you cannot satisfy your hunger. Looking for melons in summer, I stumbled under a low wall; seeking warmth in winter, I stumbled into the fire. The superiors hate them, the inferiors hate them, and I am a humble human being. It’s not that I’m cheap, this is time, luck, and destiny.
6. Now in the court, the official is the best, ranking among the three nobles. The one who bows down is above ten thousand people. He holds the staff that can defeat hundreds of officials, and he holds the sword that cuts off stingy people. When thinking about clothes, there are silks and satins, and when thinking about food, there are delicacies from the mountains and seas. When you go out, you will be accompanied by a tiger general, and when you enter, a beautiful woman will be by your side. The superiors are attracted by them, and the inferiors are envious of them. Humanity is the most precious thing to me. It’s not my honor, it’s time, luck, and fate.
7. Sigh! In life, you should not rely on wealth and wealth, and you should not bully poverty and lowliness. Listen to the cycle of heaven and earth, starting over and over again.
The above is all I have brought to you about the original text of "Han Kiln Fu".
