Tao Hongjing is famous for his words, and Linglin is from Danyang. Teenagers have different exercises. At the age of four or five, they always draw gray middle school books with harvest as the pen. And the dragon, after reading more than 10 thousand volumes, knows nothing, and I feel very ashamed. Not weak crown, cited as the idea of the king, in addition to serving the court. Although in Zhumen, you don't pay foreign things with your eyes closed, you only take reading as a service. Take as much as you can from the stories of courtiers. In the tenth year of Yongming, he took off his robe and hung up the Shenwumen, saying goodbye to the above. Make a promise.
So I stopped at Juqu Mountain in Jurong. Heng said, "Yesterday there was a Taoist named Sanmao in Xianyang, who was in charge of this mountain, hence the name Maoshan." Sun Yat-sen Museum, named Tao as a recluse in Huayang. Cross the famous mountains and look for the fairy medicine. Sexual landscape, every time you cross the valley, you must sit and lie in it, chanting and lingering, and you can't have it. I like pine breeze very much. Every time I hear it, I take pleasure in it. He said to his master, "I have seen the Zhumen Building. Although I know it is Hua Le, I don't want to go there. Looking at the high rocks and overlooking Ozawa, I know it's hard to stop. I want to do it. While looking for Lu in Yongming, it is different; If you don't do this, you can't do it today. It's just that you have a fairy, and it's also fate. "
Hongjing is euphemistic and modest, with a mysterious origin, such as a mirror, and it is convenient to meet things. Good writing, still strange, concerned about the current situation, always caring. He also tried to create a muddy sky, three feet high, with the ground in the center and the sky turning motionless, so that he could maneuver it until he met the sky. Yun: "What you need to cultivate a monastery is not just the place for historians."
As the chief of Dongyang, Shen Yue is full of energy and tired of books.
Emperor Wu traveled with him early, and after he acceded to the throne, he became more courteous, asking questions endlessly, looking up and down, and inviting him again and again. No, just draw two cows, one scattered among the water plants, one with a golden halter, and someone holding a rope and driving it with a stick. Emperor Wu smiled and said, "This man does everything. What reason does he have to learn from a tortoise that drags its tail? " Every time the country has good or bad luck to conquer major events, it is called the prime minister in the mountains when consulting.
4. Translation
Tao Hongjing, the word Liang, was born in Moling, Danyang County (now Jiangning County, Jiangsu Province). Tao Hongjing has a distinct personality and ambition since he was a child. When I was four or five years old, I often used reeds as pens and learned calligraphy in the dust of painting. After reading more than 10 thousand books when he grew up, he felt ashamed of something he didn't understand. When he was less than twenty years old, he was recommended as "the idea of kings" and was awarded the official position of "Please serve the court". Although he lives under the door of power, he always hides himself, does not deal with outsiders, and only reads books every day. In the imperial court, most things about etiquette and laws are decided by him. In the tenth year of Yongming, he took off his imperial costume and hung it on the door of Shenwumen, and resigned from the throne. The emperor granted his request by imperial decree.
He lives in seclusion in Juqu Mountain, Jurong County. He often said: "In the past Han Dynasty, there was an Xi 'an 1 Xi Sanmao Army. When they got the word, they came to take charge of this mountain, so they called it Maoshan. " So he built a house halfway up the mountain, calling himself "Huayangtao living in seclusion". He traveled all over the famous mountains in search of fairy medicine. Nature loves mountains and rivers. Whenever he passes through mountains, streams, valleys and other places, he will sit or lie down, recite poems and compose poems, and wander for a long time, and his excited mood is hard to calm down. He especially likes the sound of Songtao lapping on the shore. Second, when he heard the sound of pine trees, he couldn't help feeling happy. He said to his disciples, "I saw the house of the powerful, the Huawu Building. Although I have seen luxury happiness, I have no yearning heart. Looking at the high mountains and overlooking the vast lakes, I know it is difficult to live in them, but I often want to get close to them. When I become an official next year, I always make mistakes; (But) If it weren't for that, how could (I) get things done today? Is it just that (I) have immortals and gills, because I follow the trend and become like this? "
Tao Hongjing is modest and prudent, reciting the truth without sticking to it. Whether he is in office or hiding, he naturally eats peaches. His heart is like a mirror, and he can know everything at once. He is naturally fond of writing books, advocating the extraordinary and cherishing the natural scenery. The older you get, the deeper you love. Once again, the armillary sphere was built, which was more than three feet high. In the middle of the globe sleeve, the celestial sphere turned, but the globe didn't. It was the machine that turned, and they all met the celestial sphere. He said, "I made the muddy sky phenomenon to meet the needs of monasticism, and it is not just used by historians."
Shen Yue is the county magistrate of Dongyang County. Because he respected his ambition and integrity, he wrote to invite him (to be an official) many times, but he didn't accept it.
Liang Wudi used to have many friendships with him. After he ascended the throne, he was even more blessed. He kept writing letters and often sent envoys to visit him and give him gifts. But he is not an official. He just drew two cows. One was free in the weeds, the other was wearing a golden halter, and someone drove them away with a rope and a stick. Liang Wudi said with a smile, "This man has nothing to do. If he wants to learn from the tortoise, how can he be summoned by me to serve in the palace? " Whenever the country has something sinister, it will definitely come to consult him. At that time, people called him the prime minister in the mountains.
