Jia Sheng admired Sima Xiangru, learned fencing and drums, and was fond of traveling. Learn from others and discard them. Jia Shenggu said, "I'm not a Confucian, so why should I be blamed by a Confucian?" In addition to being a disciple, I will go to join the junior high school in the middle school. Reading from time to time is a literary word, and doing it in the present world is the first. At that time, Jia Sheng was in his twenties, and he benefited from his talents.
Chen Tengfeng came to the school to imply that the county magistrate wanted Jia Sheng to serve as the county magistrate. Jia Sheng said, "If I don't become your minister, how can I get promoted?" But not just. * * * County people such as Zhang Wei imitated Ruan Sizong for 6 days, shooting arrows in the daytime and drumming in the middle of the night. It is common in the Song Dynasty to light a lamp and drink on the Yuan night. Jia sheng led his disciples, galloping for more than a hundred miles, and missed three drums to reach Suiyang. Sima Shi, Suiyang giant family also. Zhang Yinpiao holds several buckets of wine, which is about better than the drinker holding the gourd ladle. The group is drunk and embarrassed. Jia Sheng suddenly rose to the top of the ladder, raised the ladle and drank it, that is, threw the ladle to the slave to hold it, but he didn't know his name, so he sat in horror.
For a long time, Jia Sheng was very poor and benefited. In midsummer, he could not finish his clothes. When he crossed the market, children laughed with him, and Jia Sheng sang a lot. Will Taiyuan Sun Chuanting Shangqiu order, know Jia Sheng, get off the bus and introduce him, and pay a visit tomorrow. Return to Tian She for financial gain.
Every seven should not be the first. Because of the enlightenment, he burned all his studies, closed his door and pondered over it for more than ten years. He spent more than ten years talking to the first master, and finally sat in a daze and debated with Hou Fangyu and Xu Zuosu for several decades.

Hou Fangyu said, "Looking at Jia Sheng from my perspective, the so-called sheep quality is changeable, but every time it changes, it is bound to go up." According to Yin Manshi, what is called Mr. Adult (2)? The juvenile class is Handan Xia, and then it is Daya Zhuo. Whoo-hoo, he will keep one for life and be numerous. If it is not with the Tao, how can you know it? "

Note ① Sheep quality: Yang Xiong's Fa Yan is quoted as saying that "sheep quality is tiger skin, and when you see grass, you say that you will fight when you see a jackal, but forget the tiger with its skin." Refers to the appearance without its quality. ② Mr. Adult: Ruan Ji has Biography of Mr. Adult, which criticizes the hypocritical etiquette by fictional character "Mr. Adult".
Translation:
Jia Sheng's name is Kaizong, and he is from Shangqiu, Henan. When I was young, I was wild and unrestrained, and I studied with my teacher at the age of fourteen. The teacher was originally a Confucian scholar and liked to follow the rules. Jia Sheng admired Sima Xiangru, learned fencing and playing the piano, and liked to travel far. The teacher blamed Jia Sheng for thinking that he was not like himself. Jia Sheng said, "I'm not a Confucian scholar. Why should I be required by the standards of Confucian scholars?" On the same day, I removed my student status, but after I left, I joined the young people in Lvli. Reading and writing articles in his spare time, Jia Sheng asked the people in power, and Kao Xiucai won the first place. At this time, Jia Sheng was only in his twenties, and he became more and more conceited.
Chen Tengfeng came to evaluate the Confucian scholars, take care of the prefect of the county and ask Jia Sheng to be the county official. Jia Sheng said, "I'm going to be your minister soon, so how can I get a meager salary?" Refuse not to go Jia Sheng and Zhang Wei of the same county followed Ruan Ji's example and drank heavily for 6 days, shooting arrows during the day and beating drums at midnight. According to the custom of the Song Dynasty, the Lantern Festival should be decorated with lanterns and colorful drinks. Jia Sheng led a band of his people, galloping for more than a hundred miles, and arrived in Suiyang at midnight. There was a man named Sima, a big family in Suiyang. He prepared a silver ladle, which could hold several buckets of wine, and the person who agreed to finish the wine in the silver ladle could take it away. Many young people are lying on the ground drunk and embarrassed. Jia Sheng suddenly took a big drink and set foot on the steps. He picked up the silver ladle and drank it clean. He threw the silver ladle to the servant and took it. He left without even leaving his name. The guests present were surprised to disperse.
After a long time, Jia Sheng became poorer and poorer. He was filled with Xia Zhishi, and his short clothes were incomplete. When he passed by the market, the children laughed at him, but Jia Sheng kept singing. It happened that Sun Chuanting of Taiyuan was transferred to Shangqiu to get to know Jia Sheng, and he introduced Jia Sheng as soon as he arrived, and went to pay his respects every day. Raise money for him and help him restore the farmland houses.
General Jia Sheng * * * took part in seven scientific examinations and failed in the exam, so he came to a clear understanding, burned all the books he had read, thought behind closed doors for more than ten years, studied the knowledge of former sages for more than ten years, and finally closed his eyes and sat down to think deeply, arguing with Hou Fangyu and Xu Zuosu for nearly ten years, and finally followed the right path. People all over the world praised him as a pure Confucian.
When Jia Sheng was old, he recalled the journey to Jingluo when he was young, and collected what he saw and heard to create three articles: Imperial Capital, Junde and Physiognomy. Later, he hired a boat to Jinling and traveled around wuyue for a generation. Jia Sheng became informal friends with Hou Fangzhen and Hou Fangyu, and called himself a "wild deer lay man".
Hou Fangyu said, "From my point of view, Jia Sheng is a so-called" fickle sheep ",but every change is bound to develop in a better direction? Or is it what people call "Mr. Adult" who is at arm's length from society and despises the world? Jia Sheng was like a chivalrous man in Handan when he was young, but later he became a knowledgeable and outstanding talent. Alas, there are many people in the world who are stuck in a corner all their lives and do not know how to change. How can we know Jia Sheng if it is not those who follow the Tao and are good at change? "
