Ode to Broken Kiln
Version 1
The sky has unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortune and fortune. A centipede with hundreds of legs cannot fly as fast as a snake; a rooster with two wings cannot fly as fast as a crow. A horse has a journey of a thousand miles, and it cannot go there without a rider; a man has aspirations to reach the sky, but he cannot go there without luck.
Gai Wen: In this world, wealth cannot be immoral, and poverty cannot be changed. The article is unparalleled, Confucius was troubled by Chen Bang; the military strategy is outstanding, Taigong fished in the Wei River. Yan Yuan was short-lived, but he was not a vicious person; Robber Zhi was old, so he was not a kind person. Emperor Yao was a wise man, but he gave birth to an unfilial son; Gusou was foolish and stubborn, but he gave birth to a filial son. Zhang Liangyuan was a commoner, and Xiao He was called a county official. Yanzi, who was not five feet tall, was appointed prime minister of Qi; Kongming lived in a thatched hut and was able to serve as a military advisor to Shuhan. Although the Chu Ba was powerful, he was defeated by the Wu River and committed suicide; although the King of Han was weak, he actually had thousands of miles of territory. Li Guang has the power to shoot tigers, and he will never have a title until he is old; Feng Tang has the talent to ride a dragon, which he will never meet in his life. Before Han Xin met, he did not have three meals a day. When he met, he had a three-foot jade seal hanging on his waist. Once he became old, he would die at the hands of the Yin people.
Some are poor first and then rich, and some are old and strong but young and old. He was full of articles, but his white hair failed him; he had little talent and little knowledge, but he passed the exam at a young age. The palace maids in the deep courtyards are destined to be prostitutes and concubines when they retire; the romantic prostitutes become wives when they come.
A young and beautiful woman is married to a stupid husband; a handsome man is married to a rough and ugly woman. The dragon has not been seen yet and dives among the fish and turtles; the gentleman loses his time and surrenders to the villain. Although his clothes are torn, he still retains his appearance of etiquette; his face is sad, but his arms are full of peace. 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 will have natural bones; a villain who is rich at first will not be able to escape from poverty.
If the sky is not in season, the sun and moon will have no light; if the earth is not in season, vegetation will not grow; if water is not in season, the wind and waves will be uneven; if people are not in season, good fortune will be blocked. Blessings and fortunes are already arranged in the destiny. Who doesn’t want wealth? If a person does not follow the basic eight characters, how can he be a minister?
I used to live in Luoyang, seeking meals from monks in the morning, and sleeping in a broken cellar at night. I thought that clothes could not cover my body, and food could not relieve my hunger. I was hated by the superiors and disgusted by the inferiors. Humanity said that I was cheap and not me. Don't give up. Now he is living in the court, his official position is the highest, and he is one of the three nobles. Although he is bowed below one person, he is ranked above tens of thousands of people. He has a staff to beat hundreds of officials, a sword to cut off stingy people, and thousands of boxes of Luo Jin to think about his clothes. If you think about food, you will have all kinds of delicacies and delicacies. When you go out, you will be a strong man holding a whip. When you enter, you will be a beautiful woman holding a cup. Your superiors will favor you and your inferiors will support you. It is not my ability to say that I am noble. This is due to time, luck, and fate.
Ouch! In life, you can't use your wealth to your fullest, and you can't deceive yourself about your poverty or humbleness. Just let the cycle of heaven and earth happen again and again.
Version 2
The heaven and the earth have their usual functions, the sun and the moon have their constant brightness, the four seasons have their constant order, and the ghosts and gods have their constant spirits. There are treasures in the sky, the sun, moon and stars. The earth has treasures, grains, gold and silver. The family has treasures, filial sons and virtuous grandchildren. A national treasure, upright and loyal. If you unite with the way of heaven, then heaven will come to you. When combined with the earth, the underworld will eliminate confusion. If it is in harmony with humanity, the people will be in harmony. When the three paths are combined, misfortunes disappear and blessings come. When heaven and earth are in harmony, all things will come into being. If the earth is harmonious, all things will prosper. Father and son are harmonious, and the family is prosperous. Husband and wife are harmonious, but their righteousness is not divided. The current situation cannot be fully relied on, and poverty cannot be fully deceived. Things in the world come and go, and they must start again and again. The rest of them, while living in Luoyang, went to the Touseng Temple in the morning and stayed in the broken kiln at night. Common clothes cannot cover his body, and porridge cannot satisfy his hunger. The superiors disliked him and the subordinates hated him, and they all said that Yu was cheap. Yu said: It's not that he is cheap, but because of the time, luck and fate. After I ascended the throne and entered Zhongshu, my official position reached the highest level, ranking among the Three Dukes. When I thought about my clothes, I had thousands of boxes of fine clothes. When I thought about food, I had hundreds of delicious delicacies. I had a stick to beat hundreds of officials, a sword to kill sycophants, and a strong man when I came out. Holding the whip, a beautiful lady supports her sleeves when she enters. There is a surplus of millet on the floor and a surplus of wealth in the treasury. Everyone says that I am noble. I say: It is not noble, but the time, luck and fate. The dragon has not been encountered yet and is temporarily living among the clouds and mist. A gentleman loses his time and succumbs to the villain. The destiny is not fulfilled, and it is abandoned by fools. The luck has not come yet, and he is bullied by villains. A poor gentleman in his early days blames himself for his unrequited character. The villain who suddenly becomes rich does not have a refined human body. Friendships in life are all about heart-to-heart ties, and don't talk about wealth or poverty. Winning a thousand pieces of gold is worth a lot of money; getting a word from someone is worth a thousand pieces of gold. We all mourn and have no hatred for anyone. Wealth and honor must be guarded for a long time. Su Qin has not met. When he returned home, his parents hated him, his brothers hated him, his sister-in-law did not give up, and his wife did not want to cook. However, he returned to his hometown in rich clothes, with strong horses and strong people, and glowing lights. The brothers went out to greet him with a smile, and his wife and sister-in-law went downstairs to take care of him. Su Qin was originally the old Su Qin, but he was no longer related to him now. Our own flesh and blood are like this, let alone strangers. The article is the most famous in the world, but Confucius is still in trouble than Chen Bang. His military strategy was outstanding, and Taigong once fished in the Wei River. Yan Hui's life was short, how could he be a violent person? Thief Zhe is old and is not a virtuous person. Emperor Yao was a sage, but he raised an unworthy man. Gusou was stubborn and noisy, but he gave birth to a filial son. Gan Luo became prime minister at the age of twelve, and ministers at the age of fifty became public ministers. Yan Ying was five feet tall and was named Prime Minister of Qi. Han Xin had no strength, and he was established as a wise minister of the Han Dynasty. When he was not encountered, he had no food for a day. When he got to Xingtong, he received the seal of the general of the King of Qi, frightened Yan to seize Zhao, and commanded millions of soldiers. Once the time came to an end, he died. The poisonous hand of a sinister person. Li Guang has the power to shoot tigers, and he will never be crowned until he is old. Feng Tang had the ambition to stabilize the country, but he never encountered it in his life. The ancient sages did not know the numbers of yin and yang. Today's Confucian scholars are far from being in peace. Their waists are gold and their clothes are purple, and they all come from poor families. Straw shoes and wool shoes are all descendants of rich people. There is poverty and then there is wealth. There is youth and strength, and then there is old age. If a person can learn and accumulate good deeds, his family will be happy. A young and beautiful woman attracts a foolish and lonely husband. A handsome and talented man is worthy of an ugly woman. Five men and two women, all of whom have nothing when they grow old. After death, he left his hometown and left his hometown. He has little talent and little knowledge, and he passed the exam at a young age. Full of articles, he will never die when he gets old. Whether you are rich or poor, it is all determined by numerology. If the sky is not in season, the sun and moon will have no light. If the earth is not in season, no vegetation will grow. If the water is not in season, the waves will not be still.
If people are not in the right time, their destiny will be blocked. If you don't have the basic eight characters, how can you be your prime minister? Life is all up to fate, not up to people at all. The centipede has many legs and is not as good as the snake spirit. A rooster has wings but cannot fly as fast as a crow. A horse can travel a thousand miles, but no one can go there alone. People have all kinds of clever tricks, but they can't achieve anything without luck. I would like to advise Shiwen for this.
