Taihang Mountain and Wuwangshan Mountain are 700 square miles high in Wan Ren. Ben is in the south of Jizhou and the north of Heyang.
The fool in Beishan is 90 years old and lives near the mountain. Punishing the traffic jam in the north of the mountain, I got together in my room and made a plan: "I will try my best to cross the south of Henan and reach Hanyin, ok?" Vague promises. His wife raised her question: "With your strength, you will never destroy the mountains of chief fathers such as Taihang and Prince Wu. And what about mud and stones? " Zayue said, "Throw yourself at the end of Bohai Sea and the north of hidden soil." Then lead the children and grandchildren to take charge of Sanfu, knock on the stone and cultivate the soil, and transport it to the end of Bohai Sea. Shi Jing, my neighbor's widow, had a man, so she began to help him. Cold and summer are easy to celebrate, and the beginning is the opposite.
Hequ Zhicuo stopped laughing and said, "What a shame! With the strength of age, you can't destroy a hair on the mountain. What are things like dirt and stones? " The foolish old man in Beishan said, "Your heart is firm but not broken. You were never a widow or a weakling. Although I am dead, I have a son; Children have grandchildren, and grandchildren have children; A son has a son and a son has a grandson; There are countless children and grandchildren, but the mountains do not increase. Why bother and injustice? " Hequ died knowing his mistake.
The snake-drying god heard this and was afraid, so he told the emperor. Feeling sincere, the emperor ordered Kwae's second son to take charge of two mountains, one is Shuodong and the other is Yongnan. Since then, the south of Hebei and the yin of Han have never been broken.
Translation:
Taihang Mountain and Wuwangshan Mountain are 700 miles in Fiona Fang, reaching seven or eight thousand feet. They were originally located in the south of Jizhou and the north of the north bank of the Yellow River.
At the foot of Beishan, there is a man named Gong Yu. He is almost 90 years old and lives facing the mountain. Gong Yu suffers from traffic jams in the north of the mountain, and it takes a long way to get in and out. So Gong Yu called the whole family to discuss and said, "I will try my best to level these two mountains to the south of Yuzhou and the south bank of Hanshui River, ok?" Everyone agreed with him. Gong Yu's wife raised a question and said, "With your strength, even the heaped-up mountains in Kuifu can't be razed to the ground. What can Taihang Mountain and Prince Wu do? " Besides, where do we put the mud and stones? "Everyone said," Throw the earth and stone on the edge of the Bohai Sea, north of the hidden soil. " Yu Gong then led three sons and daughters who could bear the burden, chiseled stones and dug dirt, and transported them to the Bohai Sea with a dustpan. The neighbor's widow named Beijing has an orphan, who is only seven or eight years old, skipping to help them. Winter and summer change seasons only once.
The wise man in Hequ stopped Yugong with a smile and said, "You are so clever. With the strength of your remaining years, even the grass and trees on the mountain can't be destroyed, but what about mud and stones? " Gong Yu of Beishan sighed and said, "You are stubborn and stubborn to the point where you can't change it. You are worse than widows and weak children. Even if I die, I still have a son; Son gives birth to grandson, grandson gives birth to son; A son has a son and a son has a grandson; There is no end to children and grandchildren, and the mountains do not increase. Why worry about digging rough? " There is nothing to answer about knowing beans in a meandering river.
When the mountain god heard about it, he was afraid that he would continue to dig, so he reported it to the Emperor of Heaven. Touched by his sincerity, the Emperor of Heaven ordered Kwa 'e's two sons to move two mountains. One is in the east of Shuofang and the other is in the south of Yongzhou. Since then, there have been no hills south of Jizhou and Hanshui.
The two children argued all day.
original text
When Confucius traveled eastward, he saw two children arguing and asked them why. A child said, "I think the sun is close to the sky at sunrise and far from the sky at noon." . "Another child thinks that when the sun rises, it is far from the sun, and it is closer to people at noon. A son said, "When the sun rises, it is as big as a hood, and at noon, it is like a dish. Isn't this small for people far away and big for people near? Another child said, "The sun gets cold as soon as it comes out, and it is as hot as putting your hand into hot water at noon. Is this the reason why you feel hot when you are near and cool when you are far away?" " ? " Hearing this, Confucius could not judge who was right or wrong. The two children smiled and said to Confucius, "Who said you were smart?" ? "

Confucius went to study in vassal states by bus. When he passed a village entrance, he saw two cowherd boys arguing about something. Confucius asked them why they were arguing. A little boy said, "I think the sun is close to people when it just rises, and far away from people at noon."
Another child thinks that the sun is far away from people when it first rises, and it is not far away from people until noon.
A little boy said, "When the sun first came out and rose, it looked like a round hood." At noon, it looks as big as a bowl. Isn't it small when it's far away and big when it's near? "
Another little boy said, "when the sun just came out, it felt cool." At noon, it feels as hot as putting your hand in hot water. Isn't it near hot and far cold? "
Confucius frowned and thought for a long time, unable to judge.
The two little boys were happy and said, "Who said you were a great scholar, but you couldn't even answer our children's questions?" What the hell is going on? "

Determined to manage water, Zhong Ziqi said, "Good, like a river!" Zhong Ziqi will understand what Boya said. Boya swam in the shadow of Mount Tai.

At the beginning, it was an exercise of "Lin Yu", and even the sound of "mountain collapse" was heard. Every time a song is played, Zhong Ziqi needs to be poor for its benefit.

In ancient times, the archer Gan Fei drew his bow and the beast fell under the bird. Disciple Wei Fei learned to shoot flies, but he was more skilled than his teacher.
Ji Changzhe also learned to shoot at Wei Fei. Wei Fei said: "I can't learn it instantly before I can shoot."
Ji Changgui, lying under his wife's cloth machine, supported by his eyes. Two years later, although the cone tail fell off, it was not instantaneous.
Tell Wei Fei. Wei Fei said. "Not also, will learn to watch before. See the big with the small, see the small with the small, and then tell me. "
I often hang lice on scorpions and look from the south. Between ten days, the sense of immersion is also great; Three years later, it's like a wheel. If you want to see the rest, you can see the hills and mountains. It's the arc of the swallow's horn, the bow of the new moon, shooting, lice heart and hanging. Tell Wei Fei.
Wei Fei jumped high and said, "You made it!"

Gan Fei was an excellent archer in ancient times. As soon as he pulls the bow, the beast will fall to the ground and the bird will fall. Wei Fei, a disciple of Gan Fei, learned archery from Gan Fei, but his archery skills surpassed those of his master Gan Fei.
Jichang also learned archery from Wei Fei. Wei Fei said, "You should learn to look without blinking, and then we can talk about archery." Ji Chang returned home, lying on his back under his wife's loom, staring at the practice without blinking. After practicing for two years, he didn't blink even if the awl pointed into his eye.
Jichang told Wei Fei what he did. Wei Fei said, "This is not enough. Then you should learn to look at things. Practice seeing small objects as clearly as big objects, seeing subtle things as easy as big objects, and then tell me. "
Jichang tied a louse with the hair of yak tail and hung it on the window, looking at the south from a distance. Ten days later, the lice became bigger and bigger. Three years later, lice were as big as wheels in his eyes. Turned to look at other things, all as big as hills. Ji Chang used the horn of Yan State as a bow and the awning bamboo produced in the north as an arrow shaft, and shot the louse hanging on the window, penetrating the heart of the louse, but the hair on the yak's tail was not broken.
Jichang told Wei Fei what he did. Wei Fei happily raised his foot, stamped his foot, patted Ji Chang on the chest and said, "You have mastered the knack of archery."
