The full text is as follows:
Shun occurred in mu, Fu Shuo was raised in the building, glue was raised in the fish and salt, Guan Yi was raised in the scholar, Sun Shuaiao 1 1 in the sea 12, and Bixi was raised in the city. Therefore, when the sky falls, people must first suffer their minds, their bones and muscles, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and mess around. Therefore, patience has benefited them a lot.
People are unchangeable, and then they can change; Trapped in the heart, balanced in consideration, and then made; Color label, sound hair, and then metaphor. A country, if there are no ministers and wise men who can assist the king, will often be in danger of the collapse of its neighboring countries and the misfortunes from abroad. In this way, you will know that sorrow is enough to make people live and pleasure is enough to make people die.
Vernacular translation:
Shun was appointed to farm fields, build walls, sell fish and salt, Guan Yiwu was rescued from prison officials and appointed, Sun Shuai was appointed from a secluded place on the seashore, and Prissy was redeemed from the slave market and appointed.
Therefore, if God wants to put the heavy responsibility on this man, he must first worry about his heart, tire his bones and muscles, starve his stomach, make him poor, turn what he has done upside down, and use it to shock his heart, temper his temperament and increase his abilities that he does not have.
A person often makes mistakes in order to correct them later; Confused in my heart, my thinking is blocked. Then you can know what to do; The anger of others is shown on the face, and the resentment is spit between the lines, so you can know.
(If) a country does not have a minister who abides by the statutes and a wise man who can assist the king at home, and there is no country with comparable strength abroad and disasters from abroad, such a country will often go to extinction.
Only in this way can we know that anxiety can make people (or countries) survive and develop, and comfort and enjoyment can make people (or countries) go to extinction.

Appreciation of works:
At the beginning of the article, the author lists six examples of the rise of ancient sages in the midst of difficulties and worries, in order to prove the famous assertion that "if a Sri Lankan is going to be a great man, he must first suffer from his mind, work hard on his bones and muscles, starve his body and empty his body, so his patience has benefited from incompetence."
At the beginning of the poem are two parallel long sentences, such as rushing to the reader with the wind and rain. Such a magnificent phenomenon must be invisible to the naked eye. The author is fictional and exaggerated. The last sentence says that the coming of the big river is unstoppable; The next sentence says that the river is gone and irreversible. One rises and the other disappears, which constitutes a breath, which is not available in short sentences (such as "The Yellow River falls into the sky and returns to the East China Sea").
If the first two sentences exaggerate the space category, they exaggerate the time category. Sigh that life is short, but don't speak frankly, just say "how cute Gao Tingming's mirror lock is", with an air of scratching his head and looking at the shadow, just like painting. Describing the whole process of life from youth to old age as an "early" and "late" event is a kind of "reverse" exaggeration, which makes the original short-lived thing shorter than the original magnificent thing in the first two sentences.
