Translation and Annotation of Meng Haoran's Biography

Translation of Meng Haoran s Biography;

Meng Haoran was born in Xiangyang, Xiangzhou (now Xiangyang, Hubei). When I was a teenager, I advocated integrity and loyalty, and I liked to help people in trouble. I lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain, and I didn't study in the capital until I was forty years old. Once in imperial academy (the highest institution of learning in the imperial court), everyone admired him, and no one dared to compare with him. Both Zhang Jiuling and Wang Wei admire him very much.

Wang Wei invited him into the internal department (Wang Wei's office) privately. After a while, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty came and Meng Haoran hid under the bed. Wang Wei told Tang Xuanzong the truth. The emperor said happily, "I have never seen this man in my obedient official position." What are you afraid of hiding? " Order Meng Haoran to come out.

Tang Xuanzong asked about his poems, and Meng Haoran saluted and recited his own poems. When he heard the sentence "I was exiled by a wise ruler because of my mistakes", the emperor said, "You don't want to be an official, I didn't abandon you. Why did you set me up? " So let Meng Haoran go back.

Interviewer (official name) Han Chaozong invited Meng Haoran to Beijing together, which was intended to be recommended by the court. It happened that Meng Haoran had an old friend at home who was very happy to drink. Someone said, "You have an appointment with Mr. Han." Meng Haoran rebuked him and said, "I've been drinking and I don't have time to take care of him!" " "I didn't go to the appointment at last.

Han Chaozong was furious and came to say goodbye, but Meng Haoran still didn't go back on his word. Zhang Jiuling was appointed as the secretariat of Jingzhou and recruited into the shogunate, which was later revoked. At the end of Kaiyuan (the year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty), Meng Haoran died of back sores.

Later, Fan Ze served as our special envoy. Meng Haoran's tombstone was destroyed at that time. Fu Zai wrote to Fan Ze and said, "Therefore, the hermit Meng Haoran is outstanding in literary talent. He died for many years, and his descendants declined and were lost in the fields. Everyone misses him. Everyone who has been here is deeply touched. Last time our special envoy planned to rebuild a big grave for him, the gentry in the whole state were very excited when they heard the news.

Now, because of the foreign war, I have been working hard for the guests at home, dragging on, and I have no time. Even if someone tried to rebuild it, he didn't realize his long-cherished wish. Fan Zesui erected a monument for Meng Haoran in the south of Fenglin Mountain, and paid homage at the grave.

At first, Wang Wei passed through Yunzhou and painted a portrait of Meng Haoran in the Secretariat Pavilion, so it was called Haoran Pavilion. During the period of Xian Tong (Tang Xizong), Zheng Jin, the secretariat, thought that the name of the sage was inviolable and changed it to Meng Ting.

During the Kaiyuan and Tianbao years, Wang Changling and Cui Hao, who were equally famous with Meng Haoran, were not high in official positions.

The original of Meng Haoran Biography:

Meng Haoran, whose real name is Haoran, is from Xiangyang, Xiangzhou. People who are less kind and righteous and willing to inspire trouble are hidden in Lumeng Mountain. Forty years old, I traveled to the capital and tasted imperial academy's poems. I was too shocked to resist. Zhang Jiuling and Wang Weiya praised.

Wei privately invited him into the office, went to Xuanzong and hid under the bed. Wei was honest with him. Emperor Xi said, "I have heard of him, but I have never seen him. Why can't you hide? " Hao Haoran came out. When the emperor asked about his poems, Haoran bowed again and recited what he had done. At the end of the sentence "I was exiled by a wise ruler because of my mistakes", the emperor said: "Your Majesty did not ask for an official position, but I never abandoned your Majesty. How can you falsely accuse me? " Due to release. The interview asked Han Chaozong to invite Haoran to Beijing to recommend the dynasty.

When old friends meet, they enjoy playing wine, or say, "Jun and Han Palace have regular meetings." Haoran said angrily, "I have already drunk, and I pity him!" " The pawn is not going. Chao Zong said goodbye angrily, and Ran Hao did not regret it. Zhang Jiuling is Jingzhou, which is located in the mansion. At the end of Kaiyuan, he died of gangrene.

Later, Fan Ze became our emissary, and Haoran's tomb was destroyed. He wrote a note to knock Ze and said, "Therefore, Meng Haoran has a beautiful literary talent and a long decline. He has a late tomb, a long decline, a long memory and generosity. Former Qi Huangong wanted to build a bigger tomb, and he was afraid of the gentry in Hezhou. Now the army is forced to work outside, and it may take a long time for guests to work at home. If you really let good people take advantage, you will be negative. " Zenai carved a tablet and sealed the tomb in the south of LAM Raymond.

When Wang Weichu crossed Yunzhou, he painted an awe-inspiring pavilion called Haoran Pavilion. In Xian Tong, Zheng Yi's secretariat called the saint's name blameless, and even called it Meng Ting.
