"Chrysanthemum" Li Yu
Translation:
Chrysanthemum is peony and peony in autumn. They are the same in variety, in complete colors, and in lasting flowering, chrysanthemums surpass peony and peony. Since ancient times, books on planting have been very brief about other flowers, but they are very detailed about peony, peony and chrysanthemum. People say that these three kinds of flowers can be equal and equal, but I think they are completely different. The difference is that the first two are made by nature and the last one is artificially made. Why do you say that? The beauty of peony and peony depends on nature, not on human creation. Planting these two kinds of flowers, but fertilizing them in winter and watering them in summer, that's all, there's no need to work hard anymore. When it blooms, the color is brilliant, and its beauty and color will never be weakened because people invest less energy in it. The beauty of chrysanthemums depends mostly on manpower and less on nature. People who plant chrysanthemums have to undertake the work of seed selection and gravel treatment before they are planted in the soil. When chrysanthemums are planted in the soil, there are still some things to do to insert marks and make records. Flowers have consumed considerable manpower before they germinate and break ground. However, the real hard work began only after the seedlings were planted separately, such as drought prevention, waterlogging prevention, head picking, leaf pinching, core removal, grafting, insect catching, earthworm digging, and prevention of diseases and pests. All these were done when the flowers were not in bloom, and people were exhausted, hoping that God would make the flowers bloom satisfactorily. Before the flowers have bones and don't bloom, we should always remember to prevent rain and frost, tie branches and cores diligently to shape the flowers, and don't bother to water the flowers day and night, and painstakingly color them one by one. All this hard work is to make up for the shortage of nature with manpower. For the sake of chrysanthemums, flower growers have no time to rest from spring to autumn, from morning to night. Only in this way can chrysanthemums grow plump, gorgeous and beautiful, otherwise, they will look just like wild chrysanthemums, only to decorate the fence. In this way, the beauty of chrysanthemum is not made by nature, but by people. Since it is the strength of human beings, it is due to nature. Isn't it right and wrong to treat chrysanthemums the same as peony and peony, two flowers that don't need to spend hard work? I know that it must be the flower god who is in charge of blooming and fading and secretly judging to decide which flowers are good and which ones are bad. Since the chrysanthemum came into being, all the elegant people have tried their best to praise it, but I have done the opposite. It is not that I have to oppose Tao Yuanming. Chrysanthemum growers have worked hard for a year to create chrysanthemums. If they don't praise their ingenious creativity, they just know the flowers well, but they don't know the creator of the flowers. Can they feel at ease if they forget the source of drinking water and leave the people who fetch water aside? That's what people who used to write poems about chrysanthemums did. I put forward this idea to repay chrysanthemum, out of my deep love for chrysanthemum, not to belittle it. I have carefully observed the old gardeners who have worked tirelessly to grow chrysanthemums, and I am deeply impressed by those literati and scholars who cultivate their morality and study. If they can be as diligent as gardeners who plant chrysanthemums, and try to be carefree and hone their bodies and minds, how can they not become sages? If you study poetry and seek fame with the perseverance and patience of a gardener, can you still worry about being a senior official? It's just that the literati love learning and fame, but after all, they don't love chrysanthemums as deeply as the old gardener. What can we do? 2. Gu Wen Gui, written by Li Yu
Translation:
The most fragrant thing in autumn is osmanthus. Trees are trees on the moon (it is said that WU GANG cut osmanthus trees on the moon), and the fragrance is also the fragrance in the sky. But it has a shortcoming in that if it wants to open, the whole tree will open, leaving no room. I wrote a poem that is more precious to laurel, in which I said, "The gold of all kinds of welcome (empty words) is ground into dust (here gold should refer to osmanthus), and the west wind always blows (the northwest wind is important, which means that winter will always come). If I had known that three days were a mess, why not leave the second time? (If I had known that the flowers would wither in a few days, why not leave some flowers for later?) "(Poets are a little funny, don't mind). Things begin to decline when they are extremely prosperous, which is the common sense of all things in the world. Some people are rich and prosperous (nouveau riche), and they (referring to those nouveau riche) are all magnolia in spring, while Dangui in autumn (talking so much nonsense) is saying that the wealth and prosperity of those nouveau riche are rich and prosperous, and will not last long! )
Original text:
Those who smell autumn flowers can't be as fragrant as osmanthus. The tree is the tree in the moon, and the fragrance is also the fragrance in the sky. However, its shortcomings are all over the tree, leaving no room. There is a poem in "Cherishing Gui": "Wan Hu gold is ground into dust, and the west wind always blows for a while. If I had known that three days were a mess, why not leave the second time? " Prosperity is bound to decline, which is a certain principle of surplus and deficiency. Anyone who has wealth and splendor in one move is called the spring of magnolia and the autumn of osmanthus. 3. Translate the ancient Chinese poem "Gui" (Qing Liyu)
It means: Anyone who gets wealth at once (according to today's words, he is a nouveau riche) is like a magnolia in spring and a osmanthus in autumn. That is to say, no matter how beautiful a magnolia like you is, it is only a magnolia in spring, and it will soon wither. No matter how good a Dan is, it is only a osmanthus in autumn, and it will soon fade. This is a literal translation.
the implication is that all things like wealth and splendor must be accumulated by yourself, and these things that come quickly often go quickly!
"Do it for" means like …, just like ….
I study classical literature, believe me, that's right!
Look at my answer more, and you can't go wrong ~ ~ ~ 4. A Casual Encounter by Li Yu, a full-text translation of Liling Narcissus
Li Yu once said, "There are four lives for you, one for each department: daffodils and orchids in spring, lotus in summer, begonia in autumn and wintersweet in winter."
He said that without these four kinds of flowers, my life would be lost. If this kind of flower is missing in any season, it will kill me this season. Among these four lives, the number of lotus flowers comes first.
So when he lived in Hangzhou, he often went boating in the West Lake to admire the lotus. Later, when he went to Nanjing to buy a mustard seed garden, he asked someone to dig a small pond and plant several lotus flowers to relieve his heart. It's just that this lotus pond often leaks water. Li Yu runs around all the year round, and he never has time to find someone to make up for the leakage. The lotus pond can only beg for water from heaven, and it is shallow when it is full. Fortunately, the lotus flower is a very reasonable beauty, and there is no intention to blame Li Yu, so it looks elegant and beautiful, pure and flawless. 5.

Lu Chengqing, Zi Yu, is from Zhuoxian County, Youzhou. His father's name is Akamatsu. He was a magistrate of Hedong County in Sui Dynasty, and he was a great friend of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. Lu Chisong heard that Gaozu was fighting against the Sui Dynasty, and he met him in Huoyi, where he became an official of the Ministry of War. Lu Chengqing was handsome, generous, knowledgeable and talented, and inherited his father's title at an early age. In the early years of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan, when Lu Chengqing was appointed as Qinzhou to join the army, he entered the DPRK to report the military situation. Because of his outstanding eloquence, Taizong was promoted to be a foreign minister in the examination and was promoted to assistant minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs several times. Emperor Taizong asked about the household registration of the dynasties. Lu Chengqing gave a complete account of the increase and loss of each dynasty from Xia Shang to Zhou Sui, in which the changes were tortuous, but he quoted the classics and knew it in detail, so Emperor Taizong could not help but sigh and admire him. Soon, he also served as assistant minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Inspection School, in charge of the selection of five officials. Lu Chengqing resigned and said: "The selection of officials is a matter for Shangshu. If I am in charge, it will exceed my post authority." Taizong did not allow him to refuse, saying, "I (I) believe you. What can't you believe in yourself?" He also served as an official in Yongzhou Biejia and Shangshu Zuocheng. During the Yonghui period in Tang Gaozong, he was demoted to Jianzhou Sima because of his conviction, and a year later he was promoted to the history of Governor Hong. Emperor Gaozong wanted to visit Rutangquan, so he worshipped Lu Chengqing as the secretariat of Ruzhou. In the fourth year of Xianqing (year number), it was the third grade (official position) of Dushi Shangshu and Zhongshu. And was dismissed for violating the rules. Soon after, he was worshipped as the secretariat of Runzhou, and resigned as a doctor of Jin Zi Guang Lu. Lu Chengqing warned his son before he died: "Life and death are the common sense of life, just like there is dusk in the morning. After my death, I will dress up in my usual clothes. I don't have to kill animals to pay homage on the first and fifteenth days of the first month, and I don't have to predict auspicious days when I am buried. I just have to bury them with pottery. The coffin is made of wood, and the grave is high enough to be recognized. As long as the official position and date of birth and death are stated on the epitaph, there is no need for those vain words. " After the death of Lu Chengqing, the official added the governor of Youzhou, which was named "Ding". At the beginning, Lu Chengqing was in charge of the selection and examination of 1 officials in the school. An official who supervised the water transport lost rice and grain due to strong winds. Lu Chengqing was determined as: "Supervising the water transport lost grain and was rated as middle and lower." The man's face was as cool as a cucumber, and he retreated without an excuse. Lu Chengqing appreciated the man's magnanimity and changed his annotation to: "Natural disasters can't be avoided by personal strength, and he was rated as intermediate." The man still has neither a happy look nor words of shame. Lu Chengqing praised him very much, and changed the annotation to: "Don't be surprised by yourself, and be rated as the upper-middle level." Lu Chengqing can commend the advantages of others, mostly like this. ?
Li Yu said: "Lu Chengqing changed the evaluation several times out of pity for talents, but although his mind is worthy of commendation, his behavior cannot be imitated, considering that it may make future generations become capricious." Anyone who changes' subordinates' to' intermediate' or' intermediate' to' superior' because of taking bribes will say,' I'm going to be Lu Chengqing.' This is the door to changing the case to self-interest, and self-interest is the root cause of private fraud. Needless to say, you can't do things that follow private practices. Even if you set up a favorable cause for the public, you can't just start work outside the prescribed legal system. "6." Lan "Li Yu's classical Chinese translation
Li Yu's" Fu Fu "original" Fu Fu "(Li Yu) Fu Fu is slightly different from herbal flowers, but it has roots and no trees, and its sex is the same.
as the saying goes, "those who are born in water are called grass hibiscus, and those who are born on land are called lotus." It is said that non-herbs are not allowed.
Those who depend on this for their lives in summer, not because of what happened to Uncle Mao, but also because of what happened to the predecessors, have different things to say, so please prepare them. When the flowers are in season, it is only a few days after the flowers bloom. Before and after this, it belongs to the autumn without asking.
lotus is not the same: the day when it comes out of the water with money, it is decorated with green waves; When its stems and leaves are born, they will grow taller and brighter. There is a wind that floats, and there is no wind that is graceful. It is because I enjoy endless pleasure before the flowers bloom.
from the beginning to the end, the flowers are charming and charming, and then one after another. Since the summer and autumn, this is a matter for flowers, and it is also for people who deserve it. If you thank the flowers, you can also sue the owner; It is a canopy under the complex pedicle, strong in the canopy, graceful and independent, still like an unopened flower, and it is held together with the green leaves, so that it will not be able to do anything for the white dew.
this is all true. Can nose, there is the fragrance of lotus leaves, lotus flowers are different; Summer and summer retreat, cool and cool life.
if it's pleasing to the eye, the lotus seeds and lotus roots are both eaten side by side, and they are also fragrant. Only the leaves are broken in the frost, which is embarrassing and seems to be abandoned; It is picked and hidden, and it is used for wrapping things for years.
I am a lotus flower, and I don't feel uncomfortable with my eyes and ears for a moment, and I don't want anything for my daily use. What is the benefit of planting more than the fact that there are five grains without their names, and that they are both long and short? Of the four lives, this life is the most.
nothing is as cool as a good life. Unexpectedly, half an acre of square pond can't be used as a place to settle down. Only a large pond is dug, and several stems are planted to plug the responsibility, and sometimes the disease leaks, looking to heaven for water to save it, and those who are so-called poor in health care and careless about their lives are zai.
note 1. lotus money: newborn lotus leaf. 2. Yizhi: fun.
3. dài: Wait, arrive, and. 4. purpose: look, there is ornamental meaning here.
5. Count: several 6. Delicacy: interest 7. Wandering: and, wait until 8. Hanhandà n: unopened lotus 9. Exotic fragrance (fù): exotic fragrance 1. Charming: lightness and femininity 11. Fragmentation and embarrassment: it's very ugly to fall apart. Lotus seems to be slightly different from herbaceous flowers, but it has a woody trunk and is an annual plant. These properties are the same as herbs. The flower spectrum book says,' What grows in water is called grass hibiscus, and what grows on land is called water lily.
' Then it can't be said that Lotus is not a herb. I love hibiscus, and I can survive by this flower in summer. I don't mean to imitate Zhou Dunyi and repeat what my predecessors have already said, but because hibiscus is suitable for people's minds, and its advantages can't be exhausted in one or two points. Please allow me to talk about its advantages one by one.
In the best viewing season of flowers, it is only in the days when flowers bloom, and before and after that, it belongs to the time when no one cares. Lotus is not like this: since the day when the lotus leaves came out of the water, they decorated the water waves with green; When its stems and leaves grow out, it grows taller and more beautiful day by day.
when there is wind, it will flutter and sway, and when there is no wind, it will also show a light and feminine charm. In this way, when the flower is not in bloom, we will first enjoy its endless interest.
when the bud blooms, the posture is so delicate that it is almost dripping. (Flowers) bloom one after another, from summer to autumn, which is the nature of flowers and should be enjoyed by people. When the flowers fade, you can also tell the host that there is nothing wrong with you; Then a lotus was born under the flower base, and the fruit was born in the lotus, and each branch was independent. Like an unopened flower, it stood upright with the green leaves (on the water), and its good skills would not stop until the White Dew Festival was frosted.
all the above are the aspects that it is suitable for viewing. Suitable for nose (place), then there is the fragrance of lotus leaf and the specific aroma of lotus; Summer (with it), the summer heat will decrease because of it; Enjoy the cool, and the chill is caused by it.
As for its delicious place, both lotus seeds and lotus roots can be put on the plate and put on the table together, which makes people full of fragrance. Only the withered leaves beaten by frost are very unsightly, as if they had become abandoned waste; But take it off and store it, and it can be used to wrap things next year.
In this way, there is nothing that is not suitable for people's ears and eyes to watch for a moment, and there is no part that is not for daily use. (it) has the essence of five grains without occupying the name of five grains, and concentrates the advantages of all flowers and removes their shortcomings.
is the benefit of planting greater than it? Of the four flowers and plants that I regard as life, Lotus is the most precious. Unfortunately, I have loved it all my life, but I can't get half an acre of square pond as a place for it to live.
I just dug a small pond as big as a bucket and planted a few plants to comfort myself. I often worry about the leakage of the pond and pray for rain to save it. This is probably what I mean by not being good at cultivating creatures and treating their lives like weeds.
