The original text is set in Sri Lanka: servants can't stop when they see danger, they can't move, they are in a mess, they lose control, they don't know how to change, and they are even humiliated again and again. A gentleman and a villain smile piteously, and the world runs counter to him. The first step is to think that you can teach, belittle morality, even ask questions, help the past, talk about lofty meanings, and persuade. The first step is to learn the old methods. Although the servant looked at my son, he dared not look into other people's ears. However, there are people who don't seem to know each other. Why make a fuss? Why else don't you treat me like a husband? Can't be silent, tell me.
When I was a servant at the age of 16 or 17, I didn't understand people. I read the book of sages and think that people's official positions are for people, not for themselves. When I was 20 years old, I was poor and had insufficient food and clothing. I sought to get close to my relatives, and then I realized that being an official was not just for people. And come to the capital, see many scholars, servants are sincere and happy, so ask for their skills, or try to show them with poetry. Servants think they can learn without learning, but they ask for it because of Yizhou County. Those who have a division, like and hate from the heart, and then moved four times, not as an official.
It is said that some people in the official department choose knowledgeable macro words, especially those with both talents and looks, so they seek their skills or publish their own articles to do such a thing. They privately blame themselves, but they are still happy with their names. Because I am interested in the state government, I try my best to do things in the official department, but I am immersed in the Chinese book. Although they are not official, people can say what they can do. Return what you have studied hard, which is similar to the words of an expert. I am embarrassed for several months. If you do it, you want to achieve something. The so-called shame in the book.
There is no happiness in asking for a ride, only self-doubt, thinking that people who try and get it have different degrees and different opinions, and the rest are not ashamed. What is a scholar? What is the so-called macro word? If ancient heroes like Qu Yuan, Monk, Sima Qian, Xiang Ru and Yang Xiong enter the choice, they will be ashamed? Not self-promotion. If you have a good enterprising husband, you will compete in ignorance, and your servant will know its humiliation.
However, he was born in this world with five children. Although his way is not obvious to the world, where is his conceit? People who are willing to fight with their husbands will never have gains or losses from their husbands' eyes, but will worry about it! Therefore, those who are eager for progress are too young to support the poor and orphans, and too old to be happy with what I have done. I'm already familiar with whether I can do other things, and I won't know until I wait for someone.
The first step today is to offer jade, thinking that it will be cut open by workers and known to the world. Although both feet are not ill, there is no messenger to stop them. The first step is sincere, but if you are an official, why not give it up and have no choice? The first step, I will stay, especially if I don't know each other. It is also good for me that the jade of the servant is not offered, and the foot is not lost, and the first step is inaction.
Today's customs are not as good as in ancient times, and there are still soldiers at the border. The Lord doesn't like it, but the Prime Minister thinks it's sad. Although the servant is not virtuous, he also explores his gains and losses, from which he can gain my appearance, recommend my king, and get the position of Dr. Xi Qing, and still take it from him. If I can't get it, I will plow in the wide field, fish in the lonely shore, seek the legacy of the country, test the end of sages and philosophers, become one of the classics of the Tang Dynasty, hang in infinity, condemn traitors to death, and give off the hidden light of virtue.
One of them will be. The first step is to think that the servant's jade was given a few times, but his foot was cut a few times. Who is the so-called fruit? Where's the penalty book? A scholar believes in his bosom friend, and even a small step can't say my crazy words. Worship again.
Dear Mr. Cui Lizhi: I am in danger now, unable to see the sun through the clouds, staggering like an uncontrolled horse, oppressed by difficulties and humiliated repeatedly. The villain and gentleman will laugh at me, and the world will abandon me. You are also willing to show me the maze, lower my moral character, even ask me with a pen, challenge the present, explain things from ancient times to the present, and persuade me to make progress with gorgeous words and lofty significance. You really got a lot from the old road.
Although I also look forward to the guidance of great men, I only dare to look up to you and dare not look up to others. Don't people think I'm not understood because I want to draw conclusions? Otherwise, why does Teacher Cui have high hopes for my success? You can't say nothing, just say it now.
When I was sixteen or seventeen, I didn't know the truth of the world. I read the book of sages, and think that the people are officials only to serve the people, not to seek personal interests. At the age of twenty, my family was poor, and I didn't have enough to eat and clothes to keep warm. I prayed to my family and realized that being an official is not just about serving the people.
When I came to Beijing, I saw someone admitted and became a scholar. Everyone respects him very much. I was very happy, so I asked him for examination skills. Sometimes I take out the exam questions of the Ministry of Rites and ask me to write poems and other works for him, because I think these things can be done without learning. So, I went to various counties, hoping that I could pass the exam.
The likes and dislikes of these officials are from the heart. I didn't succeed four times and didn't take office immediately. It is said that the official department can select people who are knowledgeable and outspoken, and these people are expected to become heroes. I learn from him, and sometimes I will come up with articles I have tried, similar to the examination questions of the Ministry of Ritual.
Some people speculate on the reason privately, but I still like the name. I went to the state capital to apply for selection, took the exam twice in the official department and was eliminated once in the Chinese book. Although I have not been appointed, people still think that I am very talented. I am not satisfied with what I have tried, and I will leave until I give up.
I think people with knowledge and ambition are the concept of modern society. It is expected that ancient heroic scholars, such as Qu Yuan, Monk, Sima Qian, Xiang Ru and Yang Xiong, will not feel dissatisfied if they participate in this selection. They won't choose for themselves. I will be ashamed to imagine competing with the current successful people, who are all competing in confusion. However, even if these five sons are today's people, their path has not yet been shown to the world, but what is their conceit?
Do you want to compete with the winner to decide whether to win or not, but you are worried about whether you can do it? I constantly challenge myself, whether it is just to earn living expenses, feed the poor and orphans, or to enjoy the happiness I pursue with others. Other things, you can weigh and you can understand. Now Mr Cui compares my situation to a jade man, and he has to wait for a craftsman to cut it before being known. Even if his foot is cut off, it doesn't matter. No one can overcome it.
Mr. Cui's encouragement to me is very important, but what if the way of being an official does not appear? Do you mean that I have to wait until this happens before I can make progress? Mr Cui didn't offer jade to anyone, and I didn't cut off my foot. Mr Cui doesn't need to worry about me.
The world today is different from the old days. There are still people on the border who need to be protected. The king has no peace, and the prime minister is also worried about it. Although I am not very clever, I have studied the gains and losses in depth and suggested that I be promoted to prime minister or monarch, at least to get an official position for me.
If I can't do this, I will still study extensively, fish in remote lakes, find out the history of the country, investigate the history of outstanding wise men and philosophers, create a classic of the Tang Dynasty that will last forever, resist spies and rumors, and carry forward the hidden light of virtue.
There must be one in between. Dear Mr Cui, how many pieces of jade do you think I provided and how many feet did you cut off? Is it credible to punish again? I believe in friends, and I have nothing else important to say to Teacher Cui. I salute.
Brief introduction of Han Yu
Han Yu (768-824), a native of Nanyang (now Mengzhou, Henan), was a writer and philosopher in the Tang Dynasty. Because it often calls itself Changli Hanyu County, later generations call it Han Changli; After his death, people called him Han Wengong. In the eighth year of Zhenyuan (792), he was a scholar, and was promoted for our time and supervised the suggestion. At the end of Dezong, he was demoted for ignoring the shortcomings of current politics. In Tang Xianzong, he was a doctor in Guo Zi, a historian and a calligrapher in China.
In the 14th year of Yuanhe (8 19), he was demoted as the secretariat of Chaozhou for discouraging Xianzong from welcoming Buddha bones. Mu Zong was then the son of the nation offering wine, assistant minister of the Ministry of War, assistant minister of the official department, and Jing was the suggestion. Politically, he opposed the separatist regime of the buffer region and advocated writing to carry the Tao. His prose ranks first among the eight masters in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Together with Liu Zongyuan, he is an advocate of the ancient prose movement in the Tang Dynasty, also known as "Liu Han". Poetry and Meng Jiao are also called "Han Meng". His poems strive for novelty, and sometimes they are deviant, which has a great influence on Song poetry. There is a collection of Mr. Changli.
