Discuss books with your brother.
Original text and translation notes for reference:
You 'an's younger brother likes to make grass and carries a pen to his house. The walls are covered with dragons and snakes. The voice of the sage wants to fill Jiangxi and ask the elderly for Buddhism. I can't write old books, but there is no fate in the world (5), such as the gathering and scattering of gnats (6), and I haven't seen anything across my chest, so I don't choose pen and ink. When I meet paper, I write books. I run out of paper, which is worse than my clumsy personality. For example, Woodenhead dances, laments his work, and dances bleak. Young and safe, what should I say?
(selected from song? Huang Tingjian's "Yu's younger brother is the queen of grass")
[Note] ① You 'an: the brother-in-law of Huang Tingjian, a famous scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, is now from Jiangxi. 2 grass: cursive script. Cao Sheng's voice will fill Jiangxi: I want Cao Sheng's fame to fill Jiangxi. Cao Sheng was a title of respect for cursive writers in ancient times. 4 father-in-law: the author Huang Tingjian claimed to be. ⑤ No predestination: It means that there is no certain predestination. ⑥ rul: A blood-sucking bug. ⑦ Pinzao poking fun at bombs: There are good and bad comments. Woodenhead: Puppet Man.

My younger brother, Euan, likes to write cursive script. He scribbled on other people's walls with a pen, almost all of them. So everyone called him "Cao Sheng", and his fame spread almost all over Jiangxi. He came to ask me the trick of writing brush, but I usually don't have the trick of writing brush. However, although everything in the world is complicated, like mosquitoes gathering and flying away, I never let them stand in my heart and confuse my true spirit, so I don't care about pen and ink when writing. You can write any paper you meet, enjoy it after you finish it, and you don't care whether it is good or not, nor do you care about other people's comments and sarcasm. Just like a Woodenhead dancing to the beat, people are amazed at his superb skills. After the end, the performers and the audience are the same. You' an, do you think what I said is reasonable?
2. Discuss the translation of classical Chinese with my brother.
My younger brother You An likes to write cursive script. He scribbled on other people's walls with a pen, almost all of them. So everyone called him "Cao Sheng", and his reputation spread almost all over Jiangxi. He came to me for advice on the tricks of calligraphy, which I usually don't have. However, although everything in the world is very complicated, like mosquitoes gathering and flying away, I never let them stand in my heart. Therefore, I don't care about pen and ink when I write. I can write on any paper I meet, as long as I finish my paper and enjoy it. I don't care about writing well or not, and I don't care about other people's comments and sarcasm. Just like a Woodenhead dancing to the beat, people are amazed at his superb skills. After the end, the performers and the audience will be the same. Do you think what I said makes sense, You 'an?
3. Classical Chinese: About Four Brothers Translation: I received a letter yesterday, that is, the 26th, which was very enjoyable. I wrote a lot of letters and learned everything in detail. My fourth brother's tanabata poem is very good, and his opinions are criticized in detail at the back of the poem.
It is also good to write more poems from now on. But you must make up your mind to achieve something.
I have also worked hard on poetry, but I only hate that there is no generation of Han Changli, Su and Huang, which can cause me to talk wildly. However, most of the personnel socialize, so I don't often serve.
If you think hard, you will never forget it. We people can only rely on two things: entering Germany and studying.
Morality of virtue, filial piety, ladder, benevolence and righteousness; The last class refers to the ability to write poems and compositions. These two issues were decided by E68A84323131335323635438+0343130323136353313333335365438. An inch is my own inch.
One point today counts as a liter of grain. Take a rest tomorrow, and there is only one penny left. With the improvement of morality and industry, family businesses are rising day by day.
As for precious fame and fortune, they are all determined by fate and cannot be independent at all. There used to be an official, and an apprentice was a provincial and ministerial official, so he asked his two grandchildren to help him and worship him face to face.
Later, the two grandchildren were seriously ill in the second year's exam, but they could not enter school because their parents died in the scientific research. A few years later, both talents entered the school, and the older one still got two lists.
It can be seen that admission is late and early, and the time of admission is doomed. Although all aspects of the exam are in my hands, but all aspects of the exam are in the sky, you must not have delusions.
Brother Liu is more talented than your brothers. He didn't pass the exam this year, so he can't help being angry and complaining. But at this time, you should measure yourself, strengthen your work, and never give up learning because of anger.
Jiu Ge advised me to take care of my family, which is very reasonable, very happy and very comforting! Since JingQi sent, the home is clean and tidy, and you will know when you come back at the speed of five. The way of "book"; "It's not that it's difficult to know things, but that it's more difficult to know and implement things."
I have known the truth of the long-lost movie for a long time, but I just can't be solemn and powerful, making people feel like a god. Since then, I have taken the criticism of my nine brothers as my motto, and I have always been vigilant and reflective.
Kitty's nature is sincere and practical, just like the fourth brother said, she is cheerful! I was asked to indicate my reading method and the way to enter Germany, and I made a separate list. I won't write much about the rest.
(August 29th, 24th year of Daoguang).
Judy studies and translates classical Chinese and Judy's books at home, and studies hard every day anyway. From the first day of October, I was determined to turn over a new leaf. Although I am as lazy as ever, I keep a diary in regular script every day, read ten pages of history every day, and occasionally say two things in each diary after dinner. These three things have not stopped for a day. 1October 2 1 day, I swear never to eat hookah again. I haven't eaten cigarettes for two months now, and I'm used to it. There are many courses on self-reliance, but I will talk about it after dinner, read ten pages of history and keep a diary. Those who do these three things will swear to be uninterrupted for life. Brothers, there must be continuous efforts in the daily self-reliance course. Although they go by boat, they must take them with them. Apart from these three things, he doesn't have to succeed in the course. People who do these three things will do it all their lives.
When reading, Gai scholars should be ambitious, knowledgeable and persistent. If you have ambition, you will never dare to get dirty; If you have knowledge, you know that knowledge is infinite, and you dare not sell yourself short. Such as Hebo watching the sea, such as a well frog peeping into the sky, no one knows; Nothing is impossible if you have perseverance. These three are indispensable. At this time, my younger brothers can only know a few things. As for perseverance, my younger brothers just encourage them. I'm too weak to think. Thinking hard will make you dizzy, and you can't stand sitting for a long time. Sitting for a long time will make you tired. I've been looking forward to it, but only my brothers.

5. Classical Chinese and Zhu Ziyan: "In order to learn, such as cook the meat, you must first cook with strong fire and then simmer with slow fire." I've never cooked with strong fire in my life. Although I have knowledge, I learned it from the Enlightenment. I have never been able to play it. For example, if the soup is not cooked, it will become more and more unfamiliar. So I hurried into the city to eliminate everything and engage in the study of self-denial.
He Zizhen and Yu Shuo are very consistent, which means that I know a great source of knowledge, and I can never abandon it. It makes sense to taste everything in the world, which comes from the two hexagrams of Gankun, that is, to speak with words, to walk with pure god, to swing with the atmosphere, to communicate with each other, and to spread with concentration, which is also the avenue. Exquisite structure, road behind, shortened fit. This is also the way. Everything is done with dignity, and everything is done with form and quality. Rites and music must not be lost, that is, this way. People who are really full of strength are also happy, who are happy to do things, who are courteous to Kun, and who write words to entertain themselves. This is also a gift of legal transition. Even Zi Zhen talked about this, but Zi Zhen was deeply impressed and said that Qu's life was fruitful, that's all.
At this time, I received a letter from home, and I was disappointed to know that my fourth and sixth brothers had not entered school! But whether you have a surname sooner or later is always decided by the former, and you can't force it at all. There are only two things we have to study. One is to enter Germany, stress honesty and integrity, so as not to be born, and the other is to learn the art of memorizing words and chapters, so as to defend themselves. It's hard to say enough about entering Germany. As for learning self-defense, please say it.
Health care is as big as begging for food, agriculture, industry and commerce work hard to get food, and scholars work hard to get food. Therefore, whether you are eating in North Korea, teaching in the countryside, being a guest delivering meals or being a guest entering the curtain, you should take care of your own business, eat enough and have a clear conscience. The name of the family and the order of eating Lu must also be included in my career. I won't be a vegetarian in the future, and then I have a clear conscience and can't eat well What to do is decided by heaven, and what to take is decided by man. Whether this industry is good or not is up to me. However, I have never seen the fruits of the industry, and I can't eat them in the end. Although there is hunger, there must be a good year. Although there are delays in the accumulation of goods, there must be times; A scholar can specialize in his field, but he can't have a surname. Even if there is no surname in the end, there is no other way to eat food. However, understanding the industry is particularly difficult. There is no other way to seek the essence of the industry, but to be an expert. As the saying goes, "if you don't cultivate yourself, you won't be specialized." I have dug many wells and there is no spring to drink, so it's not my fault! Younger brothers must always strive to become professionals. For example, if Jiu Ge is interested in learning Chinese characters, he will not neglect his career. However, if you study hard every day, you can't help lifting your spirits and you will be enlightened at any time. Four brothers and six brothers, I wonder if their hearts are special. If you are interested in poor classics, you must devote yourself to them. If you are interested in creating meaning, you must read a manuscript. If you are interested in writing ancient prose, you must read a collection. Don't run a business at the same time. If you run a business at the same time, there is nothing you can do. Please tell me, please.
The teacher asked me to translate this book with my brothers, which scared me to death. Dear brothers, on the eighth day of November, I copied Japanese lessons to my younger brother, and then I can copy three leaves every time I write home.
Japanese textbooks are all regular script, and they are very detailed, so they cannot be used as regular script ears. Feng Shutang attacked the most fiercely, and Yu taught him like a brother, knowing everything.
It's a pity that my brother can't be in Beijing. He can learn from each other in the tree hall every day. I don't have a good rest every day! Jiu Ge has been in Beijing for half a year. I am lazy and don't work hard. After Jiu Ge went, I was able to make up my mind a little and be really responsible for Jiu Ge! I tried to borrow a cloud and said, "I want to be filial, and I want nothing more;" If I can teach my brothers a point in moral education, then I have a point in filial piety; If I can teach my brothers a little in moral education, then I have a little in filial piety. If Zuo Zuo can't teach his younger brother to become famous, then I will be very unfilial! "Jiu Ge is not motivated, which is a big failure of my teaching! I only hope that my brothers will be firm and persistent; To make up for my unfilial sin, fortunately! Dai Yun and Yi Wu also have a daily lesson book, but it's a pity that the mocking time is not too long. Although I talk about it every day, I can't understand it carefully and wonder if I am exaggerating.
However, Dai Yun is diligent and will achieve something in the future. He Zijing treats me very well and often sings poems to each other. Because his brother appreciated my poems and used the most consistent words, Amethyst also changed her face and added a gift.
Zizhen is now in Lishu, with seven or eight pages a day. It's already a thousand pages this year. Recently, she studies the fallacies of Hanshu, and she can't put it down every day. Gai's chastity study is good at five things, one is that Li Yi is good, the other is that Han Shu is good, the third is that Shuowen is good, the fourth is that all kinds of poems are good, and the fifth is that words are good. People who do these five things all want to spread their ideas to the future.
From the other point of view, I am not very good at these two things, and I don't know how shallow and deep they are. If this word is used, it will spread to thousands. Poetry is also far above the hand of time, and it will surely become a family.
There are many poets in Beijing recently, and I want to make more friends. Jin Zhuqian lives in a house in Xiaoshan. There is a considerable gap between his face and his heart. Master Tang is also different from Xiaoshan. I still associate with Xiaoshan, but I don't feel suspicious, just feel uncomfortable.
Huang Zishou went to see him today, and he made great progress. He is very talented in ancient prose, likes to buy books, read the east and the west, dabbles in a lot, and has many antiques in his heart. He Shi's son is also very good. Shen Qian's talent is not high, and he will achieve something in the future. Wu Zhuru hasn't been out of town recently, and Yu didn't go either. Gai delays a lot every time he sees it. His brother is also extremely Shen Qian, and he is very polite. Now I am also learning from Mr. Wu Genfeng.
In my opinion, the attitude and quality of He Wu's two brothers are equivalent to those of other brothers, far less than that of Huang Zishou of Zhou Shoushan. In the future, He Wu will be more practical. To this end, my brothers can know directly, and I hope they will encourage me. These children are outstanding talents, and it is great luck to keep pace with them! Mr. Ji Xianjiu works in Beijing and treats me very well. He was impressed. I was almost lazy in class in the same year, but the number 10 was still the same.
I still need to borrow 100 pieces of gold and silver for the Spring Festival this year. I will repay Du Jia with 50 pieces of silver and use that 100 pieces of gold. When Li Shiwu arrived in Beijing, he paid the fee for the Changjun Museum, which was borrowed from the public, so it was better to avoid going out to give a speech, otherwise he would have to make arrangements.
On the door, Bobby Chen left without saying a word, so I wrote a proud slave poem. It's good to be promoted to the door in a week now. I read the Book of Changes, and I lost my son and servant. I like to say, "It is also meaningless to travel with me." The translator said: "To walk with the weak is to treat the boy as a passer-by, mean, ungrateful and heartless, then the boy regards the Lord as a negative journey."
I'm not mean, but I think it's like going against my journey, so I'm disloyal, and I'll treat it as family in the future. Although the points are strict, but the feelings are expensive, it is also appropriate to know that good brothers treat people.
I wonder if I can try to send more letters from home every time I hear the news. If I send a letter, my brothers must keep a diary for a few days. Not bad! When I write, I don't have to attend classes for generations, because I'm afraid I'll get bored after reading too much, so I'll write about my recent situation, and my brother Fu will study it carefully. (Daoguang 2002 1 1 month 1 6th) Note1No suspicion: it means that there is no suspicion on the surface.
(2) Not too happy: it means not too happy and not too harmonious. Comfortable: comfortable.
(3) Que: Stop, stop, here refers to expiration. Dear brothers, I copied a daily lesson for you on the eighth day of 1 1, and I can copy three pages and send it back every time I write a letter.
My class every day is regular script, meticulous. It's a pity that I don't need regular script when I send back my report card. Feng Shutang made the fastest progress. I think he knows everything like his brother.
It's a pity that Jiu Di can't be here and study with Shu Tang every day. I have been sighing! Jiu Ge has been in Beijing for a year and a half. I am lazy and don't work hard. After Jiu Ge went, I was able to make up my mind a little, because I was greatly defeated by Jiu Ge! I often say to Cha Yun, "I want to be filial, and nothing else matters. I can educate my younger brothers to study in Germany, so I am really filial; I am really filial if I can educate my younger brothers to make great progress.
If I can't teach my younger brothers to become famous at all, then I will be greatly unfilial. "Nine brother didn't grow, is my unfilial! I only hope that my younger brothers will work hard and persevere to make up for my unfilial crime, and that will be very lucky! Dai Yun is Yi Wu, and there is a daily newspaper recently. Unfortunately, their knowledge is not beyond. Although I talk to them every day, they don't understand each other and suspect that I am exaggerating.
But Dai Yun has been working hard recently, and will certainly achieve something in the future. He has been very kind to me recently and often sings poems with me.
This is because his brother appreciates my poems, and his calligraphy is the most suitable, so Amethyst also changed her attitude and showed more manners. Rosewood is now an official script, seven or eight pages a day. This year, she has reached 1000 pages.
Recently, I have been studying the fallacy of revising Hanshu, and I can't put it down every day. Zi's true learning is good in five aspects.
First, proficient in "Yili"; Second, the familiarity with Hanshu; Third, Shuowen is exquisite; Fourth, all kinds of poems are well written; Fifth, good calligraphy. These five advantages, his idea is to be able to pass on to future generations.
In my opinion, I am not proficient in the first three aspects, and I don't know how deep it is. When it comes to calligraphy, it must be passed down through the ages. His poems are far more than those of fashion poets, and he will definitely get married.
There are few poets in Beijing recently, and I want to do more. Kim lives in Xiaoshan's house, and they have bad blood, and their faces and hearts are not harmonious.
Master Tang also has bad blood with Xiao Shan. I still have contact with Xiao Shan. There is no bad blood on the surface, but the heart is not very happy and harmonious.
Huang Zishou went to see him today. He has made great progress. He is very talented in ancient Chinese. He likes to buy books, looking east and west. He has a wide range of knowledge and a lot of antiques in his heart. Brother He Shixiong also.
7. Translate Zeng Guofan's translation with my brothers. Your good brothers are the first step: your brothers study at home, no matter how hard they study every day.
From the first day of October, I was determined to turn over a new leaf. Although I am as lazy as ever, I keep a diary in regular script every day, read ten pages of history every day, and occasionally say two things in each diary after dinner. These three things have not stopped for a day. 1October 2 1 day, I swear never to eat hookah again. I haven't eaten cigarettes for two months now, and I'm used to it.
There are many courses on self-reliance, but I will talk about it after dinner, read ten pages of history and keep a diary. Those who do these three things will swear to be uninterrupted for life. Brothers, there must be continuous efforts in the daily self-reliance course. Although they go by boat, they must take them with them.
Apart from these three things, he doesn't have to succeed in the course. People who do these three things will do it all their lives. When reading, Gai scholars should be ambitious, knowledgeable and persistent.
If you have ambition, you will never dare to get dirty; If you have knowledge, you know that knowledge is infinite, and you dare not sell yourself short. Such as Hebo watching the sea, such as a well frog peeping into the sky, no one knows; Nothing is impossible if you have perseverance. These three are indispensable.
At this time, my younger brothers can only know a few things. As for perseverance, my younger brothers just encourage them. I'm too weak to think. Thinking hard will make you dizzy, and you can't stand sitting for a long time. Sitting for a long time will make you tired.
I've been looking forward to it, but only my brothers. Brothers country fanshoucao
