Tao Yuanming has a distinctive character. Or clouds cover the fog, and the words are profound and clear. Xunyang chaisang people are also. Great grandfather Kan, Jin Sima. Yuan Ming is seldom interested, knowledgeable, good at writing and outstanding, while Ren Zhen is complacent. The article "Biography of Mr. Wu Liu" is a true record. The family is poor and old, and it is a national drink offering. Unbearable official position, few days, self-solution.
The country is called the master book, not just. I worked hard at my own expense, so I got sick. Jiangzhou secretariat Tandaoji is waiting, and it must be the day of Tongzhi. Dao Ji said, "The sage is alive. There is no way in the world, so hide it. There is a way. " This child was born in the civilized world. Why do you suffer from it? "He said to him," how dare you look at virtue when you are lurking? I am not as good as myself. "
Knife Ji gave Liang meat and left. Later, he joined the army for Zhenjun and Jianwei. He said to his relatives and friends, "When it comes to string songs, it's no problem to think of it as the capital of three paths." The deacon heard about it and thought it was ordered by Peng. When Gong Tian learned that officials were sowing seeds, he said, "I often get drunk in wine, which is enough!" " My wife invited me to plant japonica rice, so I planted 20 hectares and 50 acres of japonica rice.
At the end of the year, Hui county sent Du You, and the county official asked, "You should see its area." Yuan Ming sighed, "How can I bend over to the children in the village for five buckets of rice?" On the same day, he was removed from his post and assigned the word "back to Xi". At the end of Yixi, I want to be A Lang, so I won't. Jiangzhou secretariat Wang Hong wants to know, but he can't. Yuanming tasted Lushan Mountain. Comrade Pang, an old friend of Hongming Yuanming, drinks in chestnuts. There was something wrong with his foot, so a student and two children enjoyed a drink. After a while, there is no room.
First, Yan Yanzhi is the military meritorious service of Liu Liu. He was in Xunyang and Yuanming, and then in Shi 'an County. After Xunyang, take a deep drink. I get drunk every time I go. Hiro wants to ask him to sit down for a while, but he can't wait. When the delay comes, I will leave 20 thousand yuan to Yuanming, and Yuanming will send it to the restaurant, and then I will take the wine. I haven't tasted wine on September 9, and I'm sitting in the chrysanthemums beside the house. For a long time, I was a chrysanthemum. Suddenly, I sent wine to Hong, even if I thought about it, I came home drunk. Yuan Ming doesn't know the melody, but he keeps a stringed piano. Every wine is suitable, so he needs to fondle it to convey his meaning.
The expensive and the cheap have wine. If Yuanming gets drunk first, he will say to the guests, "I'm drunk and sleepy, so go!" " "This is the truth rate. Wait in the county, it's worth brewing. Take a towel from your head and pour the wine, then pour it. His wife Zhai can also work hard with his comrades. Since my great-grandfather Jin Zaifu, I am ashamed of the next generation.
Wang Ye, the great-great-grandfather of the Song Dynasty, gradually prospered and was no longer willing to be an official. In the fourth year of Yuanjia, he died at the age of sixty-three. Mr Shi Hao.
Translation:
Tao Yuanming has a distinctive character. Some people say that the name is hidden and the word is deep. Chaisang people in Xunyang. His great-grandfather Tao Kan was a fu master in the State of Jin. Tao Yuanming has a high interest since he was a child, and he is well-read and versatile. His article is well written, intelligent and free and easy, outstanding, willful and frank, lofty and conceited. I once wrote a biography of Mr. May 6th to describe myself, and everyone who read it at that time thought it was a true portrayal of him. Because his family was poor and his relatives were old, Tao Yuanming had to be an official in Jiangzhou and make a drink offering.
Unable to stand the constraints of official duties, he soon resigned and went home. The state and county recruited him to be the main book, but he didn't take office. (Tao Yuanming) Farming for self-sufficiency led to emaciation (emaciation due to hunger). Tan Daoji, the secretariat of Jiangzhou, went to visit him. He has been lying in bed hungry for several days.
Tan Daoji said to him, "I heard that sages are alive and there is no way in the world, so I live in seclusion in the mountains. If I have a way, I will come out to be an official." Since you were born in an enlightened age, why should you make yourself so miserable? Tao Yuanming replied, "How dare I expect to be a saint? I just can't realize my ambition. " Tan Dodge gave him food and meat, but he waved Tan Dodge away.
Later, Tao Yuanming became a town army and Jianwei joined the army. He once said to his relatives and friends, "Can I play that string song temporarily to prepare for my future seclusion?" When the official heard about it, he asked him to be the Pengze county magistrate. Gong Tian called his subordinate sorghum and said, "As long as I can get drunk often, I will be satisfied."
My wife and children insisted on planting japonica rice (grain), so they ordered 20 hectares and 50 acres of fields to plant glutinous rice and 50 acres of japonica rice. At the end of the year, it happened that the county sent Du You to inspect. The county official asked Tao Yuanming, "You should tie your belt (wear formal clothes) and visit him." Tao Yuanming sighed: "How can I bow to the children in the village with a salary of five dou meters!" "On the same day, I took off my official seal, resigned from my official position and wrote" Go to Xi Word ".
At the end of Yixi, the court hired Tao Yuanming as a writer and refused to take office. Jiangzhou secretariat Wang Hong wanted to get to know him, but he couldn't get on. Tao Yuanming once visited Lushan Mountain. Wang Hong asked Tao Yuanming's friend Pang Tongzhi to prepare wine sets, and invited him on the way to Chestnut (place name). Tao Yuanming's foot is ill. One of his students and two boys are carrying bamboo sedan chairs. When he arrived, he was happy to have a drink with a Ponton.
After a while, Wang Hong came, but Tao Yuanming didn't resist. Previously, Yan Yanzhi was a hero in Liu Liu's rear army, and he had a deep friendship with Tao Yuanming in Xunyang. Later, it became Shi' an county magistrate. When he passed by Xunyang, he often went to Tao Yuanming's residence to drink. Every time I go, I get drunk. Wang hong wanted to invite Yan Yanzhi to dinner, but he couldn't find it all day.
When Yan Yanzhi was transferred, he left 20,000 pence for Tao Yuanming to subsidize his family, but Tao Yuanming sent someone to the restaurant so that he could buy drinks later. Once there was no wine on September 9, Tao Yuanming went out of the house and sat among the chrysanthemums. After a long time, he picked chrysanthemums all over his hand. Wang hong just delivered the wine, so I drank it immediately and went back when I was drunk.
Tao Yuanming doesn't know melody, but he has a collection of stringed instruments. Whenever he drinks heartily, he plays the stringed piano and places his heart on it. No matter who comes to visit, as long as there is wine, it's a treat. If Tao Yuanming got drunk first, he said to the guests, "I'm drunk and want to sleep." You can go back first. " His innocence and frankness have reached this point.
Once the county general (official name) came to visit him, and it happened that the distiller's grains he brewed were ripe. Tao Yuanming took off the kudzu vine towel on his head, soaked it in wine, and then tied the headscarf on his head. Tao Yuanming's wife, Zhai, can also lead a hard and poor life and share the same interests with Tao Yuanming. Tao Yuanming thinks that his great-grandfather was the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, and it is a shame to lower his official position in the later dynasty.
Since Song Gaozu's inheritance gradually flourished, Tao Yuanming was no longer willing to be an official. Yuan Jia, who was about to be accepted by the imperial court for four years, died at the age of 63. After his death, the world called him "Mr. Jingjie".
