Jinxi citizen Fang Zhong (Zhong, referring to the second eldest child in the family) Yong, has been a farmer for a long time. In the fifth year of Zhong Yongsheng's reign, he didn't know any writing utensils, so he suddenly asked for them. The father was different, so he borrowed something from someone nearby, wrote four lines of poetry, and gave it his own name. His poems are about raising parents and bringing in the family, and they are passed on to the scholars in the township. Naturally, it refers to those who write poems about things and their literary and scientific aspects are impressive. The people of the town were curious about him, and they would visit his father for a while, or beg (some versions call him "beggar") with coins. My father benefited from this, and he went to Pan Zhongyong to pay homage to the people in the city and not to learn from him. I have heard about it for a long time. In the Ming Dynasty, when the ancestors returned home and saw them at the uncle's house, they were twelve or three years old. When I write poems, I cannot call them what I heard at that time. Seven years later, he returned from Yangzhou and went to his uncle's house to ask about it. He said: "Everyone is gone." The prince said: Zhong Yong's enlightenment is the result of heaven's acceptance. The heaven that accepts it is that the wise are far away from the talented people. If the death is for everyone, then it will not be suffered by others. The heaven that accepts it is like this, and it is a virtuous person who does not accept it, but it is for everyone; now, the heaven that does not accept it, is for everyone, and the people who do not accept it, it is just for everyone?

Fang Zhongyong, a villager in Jinxi County, has been farming for generations. Zhongyong grew up to five years old, and had never known pen, ink, paper or inkstone. (One day) he suddenly cried and asked for these things. His father was surprised by this and borrowed it from a neighbor. Zhongyong immediately wrote four lines of poetry and added his name on it. This poem, with the content of supporting parents and uniting people of the same clan, was sent to the entire township for viewing. From then on, if he was asked to write poems with designated items, he could finish them immediately. The poems' literary grace and truth are worthy of appreciation. People in the same county thought this was unusual, and gradually treated his father like a guest. Some people even paid Fang Zhongyong to write poems for him. His father thought it was profitable, so he took Zhongyong around to visit people in the same county every day and refused to let him study. I've been hearing this for a long time. During the Ming Dynasty, I followed my late father back to my hometown and met him at my uncle's house. He was twelve or thirteen years old. Let (him) compose poetry, (the poems he writes can no longer match his former reputation). Another seven years later, (I) came back from Yangzhou and went to my uncle's house again. Asked about Fang Zhongyong, I replied: "His talents have completely disappeared and he has become an ordinary person." Wang Anshi said: "Zhongyong's intelligence and wisdom He is gifted. His talent is much higher than that of ordinary talented people. He eventually became an ordinary person because he was not educated. People who are naturally smart like him are not educated. Education is necessary to become an ordinary person; then, those who are not born smart and are ordinary people, and do not receive acquired education, may not be able to become an ordinary person, right?"

Jinxi Min/Fang Zhongyong, Shi Ligeng. Zhong Yongsheng lived for five years and had no knowledge of books or utensils. Suddenly he cried for him, and his father asked him to borrow him from a nearby place. He then wrote four lines of a poem and gave him his own name.

Since/it refers to objects and composes poems/it is done immediately, and its literary and scientific aspects/are all impressive. The people of the town were curious about him, and they invited his father to visit him, or begged him with coins. My father was interested in learning. Zhongyong visited the people around the city and refused to learn. I have heard about it for a long time. In the Ming Dao, when the ancestors returned home and met their uncle's family, it was twelve or three years ago. The poems written cannot be described as what I heard in the past. In the seventh year, he returned from Yangzhou and came back to his uncle's house to ask about it. He said, "Everyone is gone." The prince said, "Zhong Yong's enlightenment is the gift of heaven." The heaven that accepts it is far better than the talented people. If he dies for everyone, then he will not be accepted by others. The heaven that accepts it is like the virtuous one. Those who do not accept it can do it for everyone. Now the heaven that does not accept it is for everyone, and those who do not accept it can do it for everyone. ?

Edit this paragraph to understand the article

To understand the topic

"Shang" means "feeling sad for..." [idea usage ]. It reveals the author's regret for a child prodigy who was eventually lost to everyone, emphasizing the importance of acquired education to talent. "Shang Zhongyong" is selected from "The Collected Works of Mr. Linchuan" (Zhonghua Book Company 1959 edition) "Shang" has three meanings. The first meaning is to feel sorry for a genius like Zhong Yong who finally became an ordinary person. The second meaning is to feel sad for people like Zhong Yong’s father who do not pay attention to acquired education and have backward thinking. I feel sad for those who are not as talented as Zhong Yong and do not accept the education they have acquired. In the end, they are not as good as ordinary people and repeat Zhong Yong's mistakes.

Principle of the article

Fang Zhongyong’s intelligence and talent are much higher than those of ordinary people, but he eventually became an ordinary person, which is deplorable. Being able to become talented is related to talent, but also to the education you receive and your own learning. We must learn, emphasizing the importance of acquired learning to talent, and criticizing the environment that eliminates talents. It also corresponds to a sentence of Confucius: "Learning without thinking is useless; thinking without learning is peril."

If a person learns, he will not learn. If you advance, you will retreat. ① People are learning, and if they do not advance, they will retreat. If you study alone without friends, you will be lonely ② and difficult to succeed; if you stay in one place for a long time ③, you will become accustomed to it without realizing it. Unfortunately, if you are in a remote area ⑤ and have no means of carriage or horse ⑥, you should ⑦ learn to interrogate ⑧ and consult with the ancients ⑨ to find out what is right and wrong. If you are a commoner, you can get fifty or six out of ten. If you neither leave home nor study, you will be a person who faces the wall (11). Although Zi Gao and Yuan Xian are virtuous (12), they will ultimately be of no use to the world.

Word annotations

① Selected from "Books with Friends", author Gu Yanwu. ②Lonely: knowledge and knowledge are shallow. ③square; place. ④ Habit: To be infected with a certain habit. Habit: contamination. ⑤Remote areas: Poverty-stricken and remote places. ⑥ Capital: Expenses. ⑦Judang: It should be. ⑧Interrogation: Detailed examination. ⑨The ancients and Ji: consistent with the ancients. Ji: Together. ⑩ Shu (sh)): Almost. (11) Facing the wall: Facing the wall means seeing nothing. (12) Zi Gao, Yuan Xian’s wise men: Zi Gao, Yuan Xian’s wise men. Zigao, also known as Gaochai, was born in the Spring and Autumn Period of Wei; Yuan Xian, whose courtesy name was Zisi, was born in the Spring and Autumn Period of Lu. Both of them were students of Confucius.

Poetry Translation

When people study (or do knowledge), if they cannot make progress every day, they have to retreat every day. If you study alone without friends (exchange and inspire each other), you will inevitably have shallow knowledge and difficulty in success; if you live in one place for a long time, you will unknowingly contract certain habits. If you are unfortunate enough to live in a remote area and do not have the money to hire a carriage or horse, you should still study extensively, study in detail, and be consistent with the ancients to find out what is right and what is wrong in your study. In this way, you can almost get ten percent. Five or six (harvest). If you neither go out (to learn from teachers and friends) nor study, you are an uneducated person. Even if you have talents like Zi Gao and Yuan Xian, you will ultimately be of no use to society.

Appreciation

This short article talks about the principles of people's study. A person strives to make progress in learning. If he cannot move forward, he will inevitably retreat. The article discusses the issue of "If you don't advance every day, you will retreat every day" from three aspects. The first is "If you study alone without friends, you will be lonely and difficult to achieve"; the second is "If you stay in one place for a long time, you will get accustomed to it without realizing it"; the third is "Unfortunately, if you are in a remote area and have no means of carriage and horse, you should still be erudite and interrogated. ..." The article then assumes from "neither leaving home nor studying" that if this is the case, even if there are "wise men like Zigao and Yuan Xian", they will "be of no use to the world."

Edit my thoughts after reading this paragraph

After reading Mr. Wang Anshi's "Shang Zhongyong", I was deeply touched. Fang Zhongyong, a genius, would eventually become an ordinary person. , do we only have pity and sympathy for his experience? I'm afraid there should be some criticism from Fang Zhongyong's father and the people of the county. They lost a talent to the society for their own small interests. Is the harm this causes to society more important than our own interests? The purpose of Wang Anshi writing this article should not only be this, but also his views on genius. Genius, as the name suggests: a person who has received talent from God. Geniuses are, of course, much better than ordinary people. With a little education and study, they can become rare talents in society. But why did Fang Zhongyong finally become an ordinary person. Even worse than ordinary people? This is because he has not received acquired education, has not made progress, and is just standing still, while others are working hard and making progress, and in the end he will only be surpassed. Natural talent is important, but acquired education is also essential. Without acquired education, no matter how good the talent is, it will be wasted. On the contrary, an ordinary person, through his continuous efforts, may also make a great contribution to society. To make progress, you should study diligently. The ancients said: "The best in work is diligence." Diligent study is the mother of success. Diligence can make up for clumsiness. Almost wise, among the successful people in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, which one achieved success without diligent study and received praise and admiration from the world? Wang Xianzhi "used up three jars of water, and became a bit like Xizhi" and eventually became a great calligrapher. The French writer Flaubert's study window faced the Seine River. Because the light was transparent all night long, he was used as a fishing lantern by boatmen. His understanding of genius was "Genius is nothing more than long-term patience, work hard!" Eventually he became a great writer. None of them are born smart. Their talents are not necessarily better than Fang Zhongyong. The source of their success lies in their patience and diligence. Genius lies in accumulation over time, and wisdom lies in continuous study. No matter how talented a person is, if he does not study diligently, he will not be able to achieve a great career. It is even difficult to support oneself; a person with average talent will definitely produce results if he studies diligently and works hard. Studying hard is an indispensable part of success. Maybe we are not geniuses, but let us start now, study hard and diligently, and we will be able to do something great.

Edit summary of this paragraph

Overall grasp

This article uses the example of Fang Zhongyong to illustrate the importance of acquired education to talent development. The article is divided into two parts: the narrative part writes that Fang Zhongyong was extremely talented when he was a child, but because his father "did not learn", he eventually "disappeared from everyone" and became mediocre; the discussion part expresses the author's opinion and points out that Fang Zhongyong's talent has declined. It is because "he who is influenced by others will never come to him", which emphasizes the importance of acquired education. The article illustrates the principle of universal reference significance through the example of Fang Zhongyong, giving people profound thinking. The language of this article is very precise. The narrative part completely describes Fang Zhongyong's transformation process from the age of five to twenty in only 234 words. The discussion part is only more than 70 words. Every word and sentence in the article has its exact meaning. Express a role, not a dispensation.

The author believes that "Zhongyong's enlightenment" is the "Heaven of Acceptance", and the reason for the decline of his talents is that "those who are not as talented as others will not be able to receive it", and it also leads to the fact that if people who are not as talented as Fang Zhongyong are not "accepted by others", the results will be worse. Unimaginable emotion. This passage discusses matters and advances step by step, clarifying the relationship between "the heaven that receives" and "the person who receives", which makes people deeply feel the importance of "the person who receives". The "teaching nature" mentioned by the author refers to human talent; the "receiving person" refers to acquired education. The author believes that between the two, the latter is more important, that is, acquired education is crucial to a person's success. This view is undoubtedly correct. It should be noted here that "the person who receives it" refers to the acquired education that a person receives, rather than the person's own acquired learning and subjective efforts (Fang Zhongyong has no way to learn or work hard because his father "does not learn"). This is Two different questions, and the latter is not within the topic of this article. But we can be inspired by it, which is helpful for us to understand the relationship between people's talent, acquired learning and subjective efforts.

Edit this paragraph to add comments

1. Collecting clans: Zheng Xuan’s note in "Ritual and Mourning Clothes": "The one who collects clans means leaving relatives and strangers, and the preface is Zhao Mu." "Book of Rites" · Da Zhuan" Kong Yingda Zhengyi: "If the clan members are scattered and their flesh and blood are alienated, the ancestral temple will not be solemn. If the clan members are scattered and their flesh and blood are separated, then the ancestral temple will not be solemn. If they are collected, the relatives will not be separated and the family will be respected, and the ancestral temple will be dignified. "So, "reuniting the tribe" means: uniting the tribesmen in order of superiority and inferiority, as well as closeness and distance, so that they will not be separated. Fang Zhongyong's experimental work is "with the intention of raising parents and bringing in the family". "Adopting parents" is an expression of "filial piety", and "adopting clan" is an expression of "benevolence". It was remarkable in the feudal era that a five-year-old child could have such ambitions. Therefore, it is no wonder that in addition to praising it, people also specially sent this poem to local scholars to read and let them evaluate it. 2. It is said that a township’s scholars viewed it as follows: “Xiucai” was a term for ordinary scholars in the Tang and Song dynasties, which was different from the students who passed the county examination in the Ming and Qing dynasties. "One township" means the whole township. This sentence should be understood as being spread to all the scholars in the township, not just to a certain scholar. 3. Compose poems referring to objects: that is, "poems chanting objects". In the past, when children were trained to write poems, they often designated an object as the title. They were required to describe the characteristics of the object in the poem and express certain thoughts and feelings. This was the initial training for poetry. 4. In the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors returned home: "Ming Dao", the reign name of Renzong of the Song Dynasty (1032~1033). "Ancestor" is the name given to his late father. Note: Wang Anshi's father's name was good, but his courtesy name was bad. In the eighth year of Tiansheng (1030), he knew Shaozhou (now Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province) as a palace minister. Three years later, Ding You resigned and returned home, and Wang Anshi (13 years old at the time) accompanied him. According to this, the property was returned in the second year of Ming Dynasty (1033). In the second year of Baoyuan (1039), Wang Yi died in Tongxing Ren in Jiangning (now part of Jiangsu Province). Wang Anshi wrote this article in the third year of Qingli (1043), so it is called "ancestor"! !
