Since ancient times, wise emperors still need to study hard, let alone ordinary people. Learning begins with the history of Confucian classics, and I can't say which are the key points. We only list important articles in modern times for enlightenment. The children of scholar-officials should be educated when they reach a certain age. Those who learn more will learn etiquette and biography, while those who learn less will at least learn the theory of poetry. When you reach the age of adult marriage, your body and personality are only slightly qualitative. At this time, you should double your discipline. People with lofty ideals can hone themselves and achieve great things; People who have no ambition will indulge themselves, relax and become ordinary people.
Separation is easier than goodbye, which is what the ancients valued. Jiangnan farewell dinner, crying to say goodbye. Prince Hou, Liang Wudi's younger brother, left the capital for Dong Jun to bid farewell to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: I am old, and it is very sad and uncomfortable to leave you. Said and shed tears. The prince said goodbye in secret and left with shame. Because of this, I was blamed and drifted on the boat for hundreds of days, and finally did not leave. Beiguan, disdaining to leave, parted ways at the intersection and turned around with a smile. However, some people seldom shed tears, but still smile despite their heartache; Such people should not be excessively criticized.
Borrow other people's books, cherish and protect them. If there is any defect or damage, stick the books together, which is also one of the many virtues of literati. Lu Jiang didn't finish reading this book in Jiyang. Even if he is in a hurry, he must wait until the book is sorted out, so that the book will not be damaged and others will not blame him for negligence. Some people's desks are in a mess, and their books are scattered all over the floor and lost. Most of them were children and slaves who scribbled and were destroyed by moths and mice. This is really detrimental to virtue. Every time I read a saint's book, I feel awe; There are five classics and the names of sages in the book, so I dare not get dirty.
Before Liang lived in Jingzhou, there was a man named Ding Kun, that is, Hong Tingmin, who was good at calligraphy, especially cursive script and official script. Xiaoyuan used him to write copywriting and record events. People in the military government think this is contemptible. Most people don't attach importance to him and won't let their children learn his calligraphy. There was a saying at that time: Ding Kun's ten words were not as good as Wang Bao's. I love his calligraphy, and I always treasure it. On one occasion, Ding Kun's words were sent to Xiao as a drink offering. Xiao offered a toast and said, What a calligrapher! Who wrote it? Why haven't you heard his name? Bian Hui answered truthfully. Zi Huan Yun said: This man is unparalleled in later generations, so it is a miracle that he is not praised by the world. People who heard this were somewhat impressed by Ding Jian. Soon he was promoted to be a doctor of Shang Cao, and later he became a servant of King Jin 'an, following King Jin 'an under Dong Wang. After the fall of Xitai, Ding Kun's calligraphy works were scattered, and Ding Kun also died in Yangzhou. People who looked down on Ding Kun's calligraphy before can't get a word from him.
Type every word well, just to make more friends like classical Chinese. After all, we can't lose everything from our ancestors.

3. Classical Chinese helps to translate Wei Maozhi's home life and attaches importance to funeral ceremonies and etiquette. He had an uncle who lived in the south and came to meet him not far from Wan Li. After his death, he was buried according to the etiquette of his biological parents. Whenever there is a famine, he cooks porridge for the hungry. Please lend the official rice to the people and put it away in winter. Ministers have always respected Wei Maozhi and lent him 1000 tons of rice. He sends and receives Gu Mi every year, and people rely on it to get help and tide over difficulties.
Attached translation:
Wei Maozhi, literally, was born in Jianyang, Jianzhou. I have been ambitious since I was a child. He worshipped Hu Xian as a teacher and associated with Zhu. As a juror, I took the examination of the Ministry of rites and failed. Wei Maozhi once lived in Jason, the satrap of Quzhou. Zhao Ding died of demotion, and his son Zhao Fen helped the coffin pass through Qu Di. Jason has always held a grudge against Zhao Ding. In order to cater to Qin Gui's wishes, he sent Weng Mengzhi to lead the troops and took away Zhao Ding's usual correspondence with his old friends by surprise. Weng Mengzhi sent someone to tell Zhao Fen to burn these letters in advance. When Weng Mengzhi arrived, he found nothing. Jason was furious and punished Weng Mengzhi. He arrested Zhao Fen in the military camp and reported the matter to Qin Gui. Mao Wei wrote a letter to reprimand Jason, and then went home bowing. Building a house to study, what is the plaque in the study? Genzhai? From then on, people called him Mr. Genzhai.
During the trunk road years, the court sent letters to all localities recommending talents left by the people. Ruiye, the secretariat of Jianzhou, praised his virtue, and the court specially recruited him, but Wei Maozhi resolutely refused. Chen Junqing, the prime minister at that time, was from Fujian. He always knew Wei Maozhi and tried to invite him. Mao Wei entered the court as a civilian to meet the emperor, and tried his best to talk about the urgent affairs of the country. The general idea is to persuade the emperor to take Xiu De, righting the heart and cultivating scholars' moral integrity as the foundation of rejuvenating the country. The emperor approved and adopted his suggestion, and gave him a scholar's background, which made him a business record.
Before him, academic officials paid attention to false reputation, were arrogant and kept away from students. After Wei Maozhi took office, he taught in person every day, teaching happily, and built more study rooms, which moved and inspired students. Mao Wei's request to cancel the qualification of Wang Anshi's father and son to be worshipped, and to add titles such as Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi to the sacrificial ceremony was not answered. He suggested again? Education in imperial academy should first cultivate students' moral conduct and knowledge of Confucian classics, and then let students learn the knowledge of governing the country. Now the country only chooses people by empty talk? , and didn't get a reply. So he asked to leave the court. Wei Maozhi protested to him many times, saying that he was ill at home, and at the same time wrote a letter to Chen Junqing, blaming him for failing to correct and stop this bad style in a very urgent tone. So he returned to his hometown on the pretext of welcoming his adoptive parents. After leaving for a few days, he was dismissed by a professor in Taizhou. Wei Maozhi worked in the imperial court for less than half a year. After returning to his hometown, he sighed and said that the emperor's kindness was so profound that my knowledge could not impress him. ? So I live in Genzhai every day, sort out the classics of the past, and seek knowledge that I have not yet dabbled in.
Wei Maozhi lives at home and attaches importance to funeral etiquette. He had an uncle who lived in the south and came to meet him not far from Wan Li. After his death, he was buried according to the etiquette of his biological parents. Whenever there is a famine, he cooks porridge for the hungry. Please lend the official rice to the people and put it away in winter. Ministers have always respected Wei Maozhi and lent him 1000 tons of rice. He sends and receives Gu Mi every year, and people rely on it to get help and tide over difficulties.
Wei Maozhi is good at praising the advantages of others and making up for their shortcomings when interacting with others. As for the younger generation who visits according to etiquette, as long as he has a little strength, he must be promoted and recommended, so as to fulfill him. So that someone slandered him for pursuing a good reputation, he said awkwardly: If people avoid this suspicion, the road to doing good will be broken. ? After he was seriously ill, his mother visited him. He can't see his mother without wearing a headscarf. Write to let Zhu come, entrust him to handle the funeral and say goodbye to him. He died at the age of 58. Later, considering his integrity, the emperor wanted to recruit him, and the minister said that he had passed away, so he was posthumously awarded the position of Zhimi Pavilion.
