Translation of Biography of Nangong

Nangong was born in Gao Qi in Ming Dynasty, and its translation is as follows:

Nangong was born in Suzhou. He is tall and reads a lot. When I was young, I loved chivalry, fencing and horseback riding, and I was especially good at using slingshots. I can aim at a bird and shoot it down. There has always been a lot of property at home, so Nangong students used the property at home to support guests, drink and gamble with teenagers, and spent all the assets at home.

In the prime of my life, seeing the chaos in the world, I was bent on making contributions, so I left my fair-weather friends to study the art of war and learned to fight after the wind. I am preparing to go north to the Central Plains, and I am plotting a great cause with heroes. I just caught up with the road, and I can't walk around smoothly.

Go up the river, to Nanjing, then to Jinhua County and Huiji Mountain, cross Qiantang River, cruise Taihu Lake and return. Nangong was born in his hometown and has always been known for its integrity. Scholar-officials admired him and tried to invite him or meet him at his home. Dozens of cars are parked in front of his house every day.

Nangong students also like to make friends with people, no matter how high or low, they all bend down and associate with them respectfully. There are two military attaché s who rely on force and are very arrogant. They beat and insulted scholars many times and said (people) that (they) were tigers in hats. One of them invited Nangong Sheng to drink. Someone said, "That man can kill and hurt people when he is drunk, so he can't go near him."

Nangong Sheng said with a smile: "How can a person who spreads the wind of drinking by drunkenness be brave?" I will subdue him. "That is, the servant was ordered to tidy up the car and left. At the banquet, Nangong Sheng sat on the bench and told (the general) the story of a good ancient general. The man listened respectfully until the end of the banquet, and he still saluted and toasted below, without any disrespect.

Another person once met Nangong Sheng when he was a guest at someone else's house. Seeing that Nangong Sheng didn't put himself in the eye, he stared at Nangong Sheng and left. One day, when I saw Nangong Sheng riding out alone, I took some thugs and rode behind Nangong Sheng with knives, as if to hit someone.

Nangong Sheng deliberately slowed down the reins and walked in the middle of the road without giving way. Knowing that Nangong Sheng was not a weak man, the man took him away and told him to avoid the road for fear of offending him. The next morning, the man met Nangong Sheng through a friend's introduction and asked to make friends. Nangong students can convince people with honesty, mostly like this.

Nangong is outspoken, good at talking, and likes to persuade his friends to make mistakes. If a friend contradicts himself, he will point out his fault to his face and will not hold a grudge at all. When talking with people, he always strives to win, can quote facts and analyze reasons, and no one can refute him. At that time, the government of the buffer region fought many wars, and Nangong students could guess the victory or defeat of the government of the buffer region in private.

Someone went to Francisco to talk about Nangong Sheng (how to infer the military victory or defeat), and (Zhang Shicheng) wanted to invite Nangong Sheng to Francisco. If he didn't do it, he designed Nangong Sheng to be punished by law, but Nangong Sheng was not harmed by clever ideas. Although my family is poor because of being framed, I still like to make friends, and sometimes I send wine and meat.

Stand and invite friends to drink, eat meat and have fun. For the scholars who came to Suzhou from all directions, Nangong Sheng realized that they were virtuous, so he had to associate with them diligently and publicize their virtues on various occasions. If an acquaintance dies or is ill at home and has no money for burial or treatment, just tell Nangong Sheng, and he will let people write down what is missing on paper.

Go to the public to make plans for them, and finally do something good without saying anything. Therefore, most people praised him, saying that he was like Lou and Yuan Juxian, the hospitable guests in Ren Xia, and even surpassed them. After a long time, I gradually refused to go outside, so I closed my door and received fewer guests.

Clean a room, collect imitations written by famous calligraphers, bronzes of Zhou Dynasty, pens and inkstones of Han Dynasty, and Schleswig in Tang Dynasty, and entertain yourself there every day. He has been engaged in cursive script and official script, close to the attainments of Zhong You and Wang Xizhi. But there are too many people asking for trouble, so he hides and rarely writes with a pen.

He envied the quiet retirement life, often wrote poems to express his feelings, and lived a simple retirement life happily, as if he had spent his life like this. Born in Nangong, his surname is Song and his name is Ke. His family lives in Nangong, so he is named "Nangongli".

Original text:

Nangong Sheng, Wu Ren, Wei Zhugan, were people who participated in books and biographies. Shao Ren Xia, who likes fencing, is especially good at fighting, referring to the birds under it. My family is very rich. I feed my guests within a week of my life. I drink and play with teenagers, which makes me lose everything. When you catch a strong man, you see the chaos in the world, and you think of your achievements. It is to thank the drinkers, to learn the soldiers, and to get the "strange" array after the wind.

Go north to the Central Plains and plan heroic deeds. When the road is blocked, the traffic around it is different. Then I went back to the great river, traveled to Jinling, entered Jinhua and Huiji Mountain, and looked for magnificent monsters. Cross Zhejiang and return to the pan-tool area. There is a smell of honesty at home, clothes admire it, try to greet it, and dozens of cars close every day. Life is also good at making friends. All people, regardless of rank, bend over to meet each other.

There are two generals who beat people to pieces with their martial arts and won the title of tiger head crown. The first taste is called raw drink. Or: "You can't go near him!" Sheng smiled and said, "Make drinkers evil and brave? I am soft! " That is, life is driving. Sit in your seat, because ancient sages can do things. Hearing this, he bowed down in a jar and started his life for a long time, without any gaffes at the meeting.

First, when I meet strangers, I can't take care of myself, and my eyes are full. He rides a horse alone every day, riding a horse with an athlete's knife, if he is violent. Life and death are delayed, the middle way is advanced, and there are many evasions. Knowing that life is not a coward, I led it, but I dare not avoid it. Mindan, thank you for your kindness. Please make a happy ending. Life can convince human beings with qi.

Sexual resistance is straightforward and argumentative, and sincere advice cuts friends. Face it consciously, without resentment. If you negotiate with others, you will win, but if you help others, you will never get a discount. Although the family is poor, they take pleasure in accidents, or feed them with wine and meat, invite guests immediately and enjoy drinking. Those who travel to Wu from all directions realize their talents and will certainly enjoy a high reputation with music.

Those who know that they can't be buried for funeral services tell them their stories, and they make them scarce, so as to invite them to camp among themselves and finally hide their virtues. Old friends are full of vitality, which means that they are like Lou Jun Qing, the first giant first, and the saints are over. For a long time, I was tired of things, and few people would pick me up after closing the door. I opened a room and used to watch the pianos of Zhouyi, Han Yan and Tang Lei to amuse myself.

I worked as a grass worker, forced Zhong and Wang, and suffered from many people, so I closed myself up and hoped to write again. When Xin retires, he writes poetry, sees his ambition, and gladly keeps appointments, if he is willing to die. Born in the Song Dynasty, Mingke was born in Nangongli, hence the name Yun.
