1. Classical Chinese translation: A beggar is from Yan.
To someone, he is from Yan.
Alone, in the grain market. After eating, he went out and fell asleep under the shadow of an ancient tree on Kangzhuang Avenue.
One day, there was a man riding a horse. His sac was torn and two pieces of silver were lying on the road. He didn't feel the beggar's call and ran away wildly. The beggar picked it up and thought to himself: "How can I make money so easily? The shopkeeper will definitely suspect that I am a robber. How can I get away with it? And if there is an arrest, he will definitely choose to leave.
If not, "When my peers see how much money I have, do they want to kill the people they rob? However, this disaster is the foundation, why not give it to the official, because if my body is empty, why don't I give it to myself?" Yizhai said in surprise: "Half of the supply for finding the lost items is the second article of the law.
You have to accept everything." The beggar kowtowed and said, "The villain is not guilty, and the treasure is his." Crime.
Planning an investigation, this is not what I expected." Zai was even more surprised.
When the gold owner rushed back to complain, Zai told him, so he returned to his treasure. The donor bowed twice and said, "How come you are so lucky to meet this righteous man! What he only considers is that he does not have a house to protect himself.
The villain is willing to help them find a house." He said, "Can this be done? I also gave him the capital to commend him for his good deeds."
So Huli Chang decided to stay in the market and produce at the cargo station. Moreover, he said with his forehead: "It is not ambiguous to pick up gold." 2. Translation of the classical Chinese text of Zhu Wan, a talented scholar of the Tang Dynasty
Wan, whose courtesy name is Juchuan, is also the Yinjun of the Dali Dynasty, and his name is Cangzhouzi. He walks in chastity, his latent brilliance is not dim, he is carefree among the clouds and gin and wine, and he is wild and unrestrained. The prefectures and states should not engage in conquest. Gong poetry has a far-reaching style, broad and profound expressions, freehand expressions, exhaustive rationality and essence, and especially precise chants of objects, which must contain contrasting expressions and many quick surprises. When he came to Yongping, Li Mian Town, he praised his conduct and invited him with a large sum of money. He was appointed as a minister in the mansion, and they talked and had banquets every day, sharing more than their own flesh and blood. For a long time. He tried to pay a visit to Cui Shijun of Huzhou, but he was not satisfied. He wrote a farewell letter before leaving and said: "I heard that Penglai Mountain is hidden in the dark world. It can be reached by walking. The noble family cannot be reached without a matchmaker. The Lilongzhu lurks in the abyss of Huangtang. It may be possible to find it. The noble Yan Wu is not aware of the situation. He is looking for his master. He is wearing a solitary cloud, and he has two full moons. He walks to the halberd gate three times and knows that he is traveling thousands of miles away. Sleeping in a fishing boat at night, the door is like a dragon but difficult to climb, and the food is like jade, but it is rare. The wind is flowing on the stream, and the gold in the bag is poor. I look at the sweet trees and sigh, and I retreat from the bay. "Then he returned to the Shanyin Villa in Kuaiji, which is the same for Geng Jie. There are four volumes, which are handed down to this day.
Zhu Wan, also known as Juchuan, was a hermit during the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty, also known as Cangzhouzi. He is a pure and simple person who follows etiquette and laws, hides his talents without showing off, is leisurely and contented in the natural beauty, music and wine, and moves without being bound by worldly etiquette. Counties and states competed with each other for power, but Zhuwan never responded. Zhu Wan is good at writing poems. His poetry style is long-lasting, profound in allusions, concise and general, and thorough in reasoning. He is especially good at chanting things. He will definitely use the technique of Bixing, and most of them have quick and unique ideas. When Li Mian was stationed in Yongping, he praised his demeanor and integrity and invited him with a large sum of money to serve as a minister in the government. He talked with him every day and had a deep relationship with him. After a long time, I went to visit Cui Envoy of Huzhou again, but he was not reused. Before leaving, he left a letter to say goodbye: "I heard that Penglai Fairy Mountain (although) is hidden deep, (but) can still be reached. And the noble man's house cannot be reached without someone's recommendation. The dragon can sometimes be seen in the deep and vast water, but the noble man's face cannot be seen without the conditions. I have been alone for two months. During this period, I visited you three times. But I know that the distance between the court and the hall is no less than a thousand miles. What's more, I live under a fence, receive gifts from others, and live on a fishing boat. Your door is as difficult to cross as a dragon gate. It is as hard to get as beautiful jade. I really have no intention of being opportunistic and want to do something opportunistic. Wouldn’t my father-in-law laugh when he heard that I wanted to be above the stream? It was a smooth journey, but the money was really tight. Although he wanted to show his ambition and make a difference, he could only sigh and go back feeling ashamed. "So he returned to his villa in Shanyin, Kuaiji. His integrity is different from that of the common people.
There are four volumes of collected works that have been circulated to this day.
It’s really not cost-effective to do your question. It took almost an hour to break down the dictionary and organize the language, but I didn’t get a single point. What a loss!
When it comes to pouring out, the force is too much but the result is little.
Zi Gong said: "There is a weapon here, which can soak a hundred fields in a day. It uses very little force but sees a lot of work. Master, don't you want it?"
The gardener looks up and up. He said: "What can I do?"
He said: "The wood is used as a machine. The back is heavy and the front is light. The water is like pumping out, and the number is like overflowing soup. It is called 槧."
The man who worked for the garden made an angry look and smiled and said: "I heard from my master that if there is a machine, there must be something to do, and if there is something to do, there must be an organic heart. If the machine heart is in the chest, it will be pure and unprepared; if it is pure and unprepared, it will be unprepared. The divine birth is uncertain; the divine birth is uncertain, and the way is not carried out. It is not that I don’t know it, but I am ashamed to do it.”
After Zigong traveled to the south, he returned to the state of Jin and passed by the Han River. When I was on the south bank, I saw an old man who was about to tidy up the vegetable garden. The old man went down into the well from a dug tunnel, and then came out holding a large jar to fetch water to water the vegetable field. He looked like he was struggling. It took a lot of effort, but the effect was not great.
/p>
The old man who was tending the vegetable garden looked up at Zigong and said, "What should we do?"
Zigong said, "You chisel the wood into a machine and make the back half of it It is heavy, but the front half is light. Using it to lift water from a well is as light as pumping water. As it moves back and forth, the well water quickly flows in all directions. The name of this machine is 槔. ”
After hearing this, the old man became furious, his expression suddenly changed, and he sneered: "I heard from my teacher that anyone who has machinery will definitely do opportunistic things, and those who do opportunistic things must have an opportunistic heart." . If a person's heart is opportunistic, his pure and pure mind will be stained; a person whose mind is not pure and pure will have an unstable mind; it is impossible for a person with an unstable mind to accept any moral concepts. It's not that I don't understand this. It’s such a machine, I feel ashamed and don’t want to use it.” 3. Translated by Zheng Kuai in classical Chinese

It had just rained and the sky was clear. The mountains were beautiful and the rocks were beautiful. The springs and rocks were all very wonderful. Zheng Wei sat for a long time, got up, walked five or six miles, and said, "It's such a beautiful scenery, but I can't compose a poem. What's the harm if I have to see it until it gets dark?" So he returned to the pavilion and wanted to stay in the pavilion. Title a poem. But when I turned around, I saw that a quatrain had been inscribed on the pavilion, and the ink was still wet. Zheng Wei was very surprised that this poem was so wonderful.
At that time, there were no pedestrians traveling from the north to the south. The people accompanying him said to Zheng Wei: "(just now) only Liu Jing was two or three miles behind." Zheng Wei joked with Liu Jing: "Did you inscribe this poem?" Liu Jing said. Jing bowed and said, "It was actually (because) I was inspired by seeing you chanting while appreciating the scenery, that I wrote this humble poem and inscribed it on it." After saying self-examination, he bowed again. Mr. Zheng Qi admired it for a long time before leaving. After returning to the capital, Zheng Wei said to his nephews Zheng Han, Zheng Han and others: "Liu Jing will be a genius in the future, and he will definitely have superhuman achievements in literature. From now on, he can live with you in the college, with accommodation and meals." All the standards are no different from yours. I will no longer treat him as a servant." More than three years later, (Liu Jing)'s articles were very beautiful in terms of rhetoric and profound in philosophy. He took the imperial examination twice and became famous (finally). Zheng Zhen recruited him to be the provincial clear-level scholar of Pifa Temple. 4. Full text translation of the classical Chinese article "It's not easy to get through"

Yin Zhongkan only ate five bowls a day and no other meals. If the grains of rice fall on the table, pick them up and eat them.
Although he did this out of intention to set an example, it was also due to his simple nature. He often said to his disciples: "Don't think that just because I am the governor of a state, I will abandon my usual will and ethics.
Now, I will not change in this position. Poverty is a scholar. How can you climb to the top and abandon your roots?"

Comrade, this article was written by Su Che.
Translation: The Yangtze River leaves the Xiling Gorge and begins to enter the flatland, with the water flowing mightily. It joins the Yuan River and the Xiang River in the south, and the Han River and the Mian River in the north, making the water even more magnificent.
Flowing under the Red Cliff, the waves are rolling like an endless ocean. Zhang Mengde of Qinghe lived in Qi'an after being demoted. He built a pavilion in the southwest of his house to enjoy the scenery of the Yangtze River.
My brother Zizhan named this pavilion "Kuaizai Pavilion". From the pavilion, you can see the Yangtze River for hundreds of miles from north to south and thirty miles from east to west. The waves are turbulent, and the wind and clouds sometimes appear and sometimes disappear.
During the day, boats come and go in front of the pavilion; at night, animals in the water howl sadly under the pavilion. The scenery is ever-changing and thrilling, and cannot be appreciated for a long time.
Now I can enjoy these scenery from the small table in the pavilion, and it is enough to see it just by raising my eyes. Looking to the west at the mountains of Wuchang, you can see winding mountains, rows and rows of grass and trees, disappearing clouds, the sun is shining, and you can point out the houses of villagers who fish and collect firewood one by one.
This is why the pavilion is called "Kuaizai". As for the shores of the sandbank and the ruins of the ancient city, it was where Cao Cao and Sun Quan were waiting for opportunities to seize it, and where Zhou Yu and Lu Xun led their troops to gallop. The demeanor and deeds that have been handed down are enough to be praised by secular people.
Once upon a time, King Xiang of Chu asked Song Yu and Jing Cha to follow him to the Lantai Palace. A gust of wind blew, making a rustling sound. The King of Chu opened his clothes, facing the wind, and said, "How happy this wind is! This is what I and the people only have."
Song Dynasty Yu said: "This is just the majesty of the king. How can the people enjoy it with you?" Song Yu's words may have an ironic meaning here. There is no difference between male and female winds, but people are born at the right time and at the wrong time.
The reason why the king of Chu felt happy and the reason why the people felt sad was precisely because people's situations were different. What does it have to do with following the trend? When a scholar lives in this world, if his heart is not at ease, then where can he be without sorrow? If you are open-minded and don't harm your nature (nature) because of external things, then where can you not feel happy? (A scholar lives in the world. If he cannot enjoy himself in his heart, then where can he go without feeling sad? If he is in a cheerful mood and does not hurt his emotions due to the influence of the environment, then where can he go? Will it be a happy day? ) Now, Zhang Mengde is not worried about being demoted. He is taking advantage of the official work of collecting money and valleys to live in the mountains and rivers. This is what he should have in his heart to be better than ordinary people. There is nothing unhappy if the door is made of straw and the windows are made of broken tiles, not to mention washing in the clear Yangtze River, facing the white clouds of the Western Mountains, and enjoying the beautiful scenery to the fullest to seek comfort. If it weren't for this, the rolling peaks, deep ravines, vast forests, towering ancient trees, the gentle breeze swaying, and the bright moon shining high would all become the reasons why the poet wanderer felt sad, haggard, and intolerable. How could he tell that this was a happy life? Of! On the first day of November in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Su Zhe recorded in Zhao County.
Translation of "Ren Guanglu Zhuxi Ji" I once visited the pavilions and gardens of wealthy people in the capital city, and saw that the things collected there ranged from the farthest borders to overseas, and there were all kinds of strange flowers and stones that could not be absorbed. Of course, the only thing that cannot be obtained is bamboo. We Jiangnan people cut down bamboo for firewood and built gardens and pavilions. We also bought exotic flowers and stones from overseas. Some spent a thousand dollars to buy a stone, and some spent a hundred dollars to buy a flower. They were not stingy.
However, if there is bamboo occupying the place, sometimes it is cut down, saying: "Don't let it occupy the place where I plant flowers and stones." But if people in the capital can find a pole of bamboo, they often spend thousands of dollars to buy it. However, when there is frost and snow, they all wither and die.
Precisely because it is difficult to find and often dies, people cherish it even more. Some people from the south of the Yangtze River laughed at them and said: "The people in the capital actually regard the things we use as firewood as treasures."
Woohoo! Strange flowers and stones are indeed cherished by people in the capital and Jiangnan. However, tracing back to their place of origin, people from the border areas and overseas regard them, and I think there is no big difference from bamboo in Jiangnan.
As for the border areas and overseas areas, which may never produce bamboo, if people there see bamboo, I think they will cherish and value it more than the people in the capital. I'm afraid this situation will make you laugh endlessly.
As the saying goes: "People become cheaper when they leave their hometown, and things become more expensive when they leave their hometown." In this way, what are the unchanging standards for beauty, ugliness, likes and dislikes in the world! My uncle Ren Guanglu built a pavilion on the edge of Jingxi River. He planted bamboos everywhere but no other flowers and trees.
He built a small building in the bamboo forest, where he would sing poems and sing songs with his guests when he had time. He accidentally said to me: "I can't compare with the powerful people in terms of the splendor of flowers and rocks in the pavilion. By taking the things originally owned by the mountain here alone, I can make the garden green and lush without wasting any effort, and it is enough for me. < /p>
Therefore, I claim to be the owner of Zhuxi. Please describe it for me. ”
I think Renjun really cannot compete with the powerful and just take whatever he has locally. ; I’m afraid you still have a special hobby for bamboo, and you don’t want to tell others about it, right? In the past, some people talked about bamboo, thinking that it had no attractive appearance or fragrance worthy of love. Therefore, it is not as ingenious and weird as a stone, not as charming and soft as a flower, and lonely like a proud and independent scholar, and cannot be confused with the world.
Therefore, since ancient times, very few people know how to cherish bamboo. So can people in the capital also know and cherish bamboo? They just want to use this to compete with others to show off their wealth, just like using exotic flowers and stones to show off to others.
Therefore, the people in the capital cherish bamboo, while the people in the south of the Yangtze River do not value bamboo. They are both ignorant of bamboo. Let you grow up in the bustle and bustle, but be able to avoid indulging in it. Clothes, carriages, horses, children, servants, singing and dancing, and all the hobbies indulged in by wealthy people, should be rejected.
In particular, Fangzheng is upright and does not interact with others casually, and has a noble and independent air. This is what Renjun must be proud of when it comes to bamboo. All the joyful and fun things in the world cannot be parted with? So even if the bamboo does not belong to the land here, Renjun will do his best to collect it, and then he will be happy in his heart.
Although Ren Jun’s financial resources enable him to search for exotic flowers and stones as much as possible, his hobby is not here. What a shame! Bamboo could have become valuable without leaving the south of the Yangtze River, and I have a new appreciation for this. 7. Diligence in Classical Chinese Translation
There is nothing more important than diligence in making a living, so Shao Yong said: "Plan for a day in the morning, plan for a year in the spring, and plan for a life should be Diligence." Although the words are superficial, the meaning is profound!
We have no choice but to follow the habits of ordinary people: they hate hard work and prefer happiness, they covet delicious food, pay attention to gorgeous clothes, waste time and effort. If he is asked to be a farmer, he will not be able to plow the soil deep enough to remove all the grass; if he is asked to be a worker, he will not be able to count the days to seek the results of his work; if he is asked to be a businessman, he will not be able to seize the opportunity and pursue profits; If you are a scholar, you cannot be firm in your ambitions and work hard to practice; living in vain in the world is just like a moth!
The principle of heaven and earth transforming and nurturing all things is that they will not be corrupted if they are renewed every day. Therefore, the constantly rotating door shaft will not be corroded, and the flowing water will not become rancid. God does not want all things to always be at ease! Isn’t it the same with human mind and power? When you are working hard, you will think carefully, and when you are at ease, you will be confused and confused. This is normal for ordinary people. A sage like Dayu still cherishes an inch of his time; a sage like Tao Kan still cherishes an inch of his time; not to mention ordinary people who are not as capable and wise as them?
