1. Looking for a translation of this classical Chinese article
There are people who make shadows. In the early days of Bianjing, they used plain paper to carve clusters. Later generations used sheepskin to carve stars with skillful craftsmanship. Colorful decoration without damage. There are Jia Silang, Wang Sheng, Wang Runqing, etc. in Hangzhou, who are skilled in maneuvering and can teach without mistakes. His picture book is quite similar to the history book, and it is probably half true and half false. Those who are loyal and honest are carved with a positive appearance, while those who are evil and evil are carved with an ugly appearance. The cover also contains praise and blame.
There are people who play shadow puppets. The ones in Bianjing were originally carved with white paper. Since then, later generations have made exquisite workmanship, carved with sheepskin, and decorated with colorful patterns, which are not easy to be damaged. There are Jia Silang, Wang Sheng, Wang Runqing and others in Hangzhou who are good at playing with shadow puppets, and their movements and sounds are synchronized without any difference. Their drawings and explanations are basically the same as those in the history books, and they are probably both true and false. The loyal people are carved into an upright image, and the treacherous and evil people are carved into an ugly image. The meaning of praise and blame probably lies in the middle. 2. Translation of Classical Chinese
Translation of Former Red Cliff Fu In the autumn of the Renxu year, on the 16th day of the seventh month, my guests and I were rowing in a boat and playing under Red Cliff.
The breeze blew slowly, and the waves on the water surface were calm. He raised his glass, encouraged the guests to drink together, recited the poem "Moonrise", and sang the chapter "Young and Graceful".
After a while, the moon rose from the east mountain, hovering between the constellations Dipper and Ox. White mist enveloped the river, and the water was shining, connected to the sky.
Let the boat drift freely on the boundless river. The river is far away in the vastness, and the boat seems to be riding on the wind in the sky, not knowing where it will stop; it is floating, and it seems to have escaped from the world, carefree, and turned into a fairy who has ascended to the immortal fruit.
At this time, while drinking wine, I felt very happy, so I knocked on the side of the boat and started singing. Sings: "The paddle made of osmanthus wood and the oar made of orchid wood beat the clear water waves, swimming upstream on the moonlit river.
My feelings are far away and boundless, looking at the beauty in my heart. , in a faraway place on the horizon. "Some of the guests are good at playing the flute. They play the flute to accompany the singing. The sound of the flute sounds like resentment, nostalgia, sobbing, or whispering.
After blowing, the lingering sound is long, like a long and continuous strand. This sound can make the dragon lurking in the abyss dance and make the widow in the lonely boat weep.
I was a little sad, so I straightened my clothes and sat upright, and asked the guest: "Why is it playing such a sad sound?" The guest replied: "'The moonlight is bright, the stars are few, and there are only a few crows. Flying to the south, isn't this a poem by Cao Mengde? Looking to the west is Xiakou, and looking to the east is Wuchang. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the vegetation is lush and green. Isn't this the place where Cao Cao was defeated by Zhou Yu when he captured Jingzhou? When we went down to Jiangling and eastward along the river, the warships were connected for thousands of miles, and the flags covered the sky. We were drinking by the river, holding spears across the river and reciting poems. We were heroes for a while, not to mention you and I in the middle of the river. Fishing and collecting firewood on the island, using fish and shrimp as companions, and elk as friends; driving a small boat, toasting each other's drinks; lamenting about the short life of a mayfly between heaven and earth, as small as a grain of millet in the sea. Our lives are short, and we envy the endlessness of the Yangtze River.
We wish to travel with the gods and live forever with the bright moon. We know that this wish cannot be realized suddenly, so we can only put this helpless feeling. "In the melody, it was played in the sad autumn wind."
I said to the guest: "Do you also know the truth about water and the moon? The water keeps flowing like this, but it never actually flows. Flow away; the moon waxes and wanes, but it does not diminish or grow. It turns out that if you look at it from the perspective of change, then everything in the world has never remained the same in the blink of an eye; it is not that calm. Looking at it from an unchanging perspective, then there is no end to things or ourselves, so what should we envy? Besides, everything in heaven and earth has its own master. If it is not what I deserve, I will not take any of it. .
There is only the breeze on the river and the bright moon in the mountains. When the ears listen to it, what they hear is the sound. When the eyes look at it, what they see is the color. No one can stop it and enjoy it. Try your best, this is the infinite treasure of nature, which you and I can enjoy together." My guests and I laughed happily, lit the candles and drank again.
All the dishes and fruits have been eaten, and the cups and plates are in a mess. My guests and I fell asleep in the boat with each other, not knowing that it was already dawn.
Translation Chen Li Mi Yan: Due to bad luck, I encountered misfortune when I was a child. My loving father passed away just six months after I was born. Four years later, my uncle forced my mother to remarry.
My grandmother Liu took pity on me because I lost my father and was sick and emaciated when I was young, so she raised me personally. The minister was often sick when he was young and could not walk when he was nine years old.
Lonely and helpless until you get married and start a career. He had neither uncles nor older brothers. His family was in decline and he had few blessings. He did not have a son until very late in life.
There are no close relatives outside, and there are no servants to take care of the house at home. Living alone, only my body and shadow comfort each other every day.
Mrs. Liu has been ill for a long time and has been bedridden all year round. I served her with food and medicine and never left her.
When the Jin Dynasty was established, I received the political enlightenment of the Qingming Dynasty.
Some time ago, the prefect Kui recommended his ministers as Xiaolian, and later the governor Shi Rong recommended his ministers as scholars. Because there was no one to take care of my grandmother, all the ministers declined and did not obey the order.
The imperial court issued a special edict and appointed me as a doctor. Soon after, I was favored by the country and appointed me as a horse washer. A person like me, who comes from a humble background and has a humble status, can serve the prince. This is really not something I can sacrifice my life to repay the court.
I reported the above difficulties on the table and declined to take office. However, the edict was urgent and severe, accusing me of evading orders and being deliberately negligent.
The county chiefs urged me to get on the road immediately; the state officials came to my door to urge me. It was urgent and there was no need to delay. I really want to obey the emperor's order and serve the country immediately, but my grandmother Liu's illness is getting worse day by day. I want to temporarily obey my personal feelings, but I have not received permission to report and appeal.
I am in a dilemma and in a very awkward situation. I think the Holy Dynasty governed the world based on filial piety. All the old people were treated with pity and care, not to mention that my loneliness was even more serious. Moreover, when I was young, I served as an official in the Shu Han Dynasty. I served successively as a doctor and a minister. I originally wanted to have a successful official career and had no intention of showing off my reputation and integrity.
Now I am a lowly prisoner of a subjugated country. I am so humble that I am not worth mentioning. But just because my grandmother Liu was like the setting sun on the Western Mountain, her breath was weak, her life was in danger, and her life was precarious. My lord, if I didn’t have my grandmother, I wouldn’t be alive today. If my grandmother didn’t take care of me, she wouldn’t be able to spend the rest of her life.
We, grandfather and grandson, rely on each other and support each other. It is precisely because of this that I really can’t bear to leave my grandmother and travel far away. Your Majesty, I am forty-four years old this year, and my grandmother is ninety-six years old this year. Your Majesty, I still have a long time to be loyal and loyal in front of Your Majesty, but the days of being filial and dedicated in front of my grandmother Liu are numbered.
With the personal feelings of a crow returning a favor, I hope that I can be allowed to fulfill my wish to provide for my grandmother until she dies. My bitter suffering was not only witnessed and understood by the people of Shu and the governors of Yizhou and Liangzhou, but also by the gods of heaven and earth. 3. Classical Chinese: A gentleman has three thoughts. Yan Zi admonished Zhu Zou to be killed. Wang Jixian heard the chess game and felt ashamed.
A gentleman has three thoughts.
Confucius said: A gentleman has three thoughts. You must observe it. If you are young and don't learn, you will be incompetent; if you are old and don't teach, you will die without thinking about it; if you have people but don't give, you will be in need of help. Therefore, if a gentleman thinks less about his strengths, he will devote himself to learning; if he thinks more about his death, he will devote himself to teaching; if he thinks more about his poverty, he will devote himself to charity. (Confucius said: A gentleman has three issues that need to be considered, and he must examine them carefully. If he does not study hard when he is young, he will not be able when he is old; if he is unwilling to promote education when he is old, no one will remember him after his death; if he does not study hard when he is old, he will not be remembered by anyone after his death. If you are willing to give alms, there will be no one to help you when you are poor. Therefore, when you are young, you will strive to learn more when you are older; when you are old, you will strive to teach more when you are about to die; when you are rich, you will strive to teach more. Considering the hardship of poverty, he tried to give more charity)
Yan Zi admonished Zhu Zou to be killed
Qi Jinggong liked to shoot birds and used Zhu Zou to control the birds, but the birds ran away. . Jinggong was furious and ordered the officials to kill him. Yanzi said: "Zhu Zou has three crimes. I would like to list his crimes and then kill him." Jinggong said: "Yes." So he summoned Zhuzou and listed all these sins in front of Duke Jing. Yanzi said: "Zhuzou, you were in charge of the birds and lost them for the king. This is the first sin. Making our king kill people because of the lost birds is the first sin." The second crime: Let the princes know about this and think that our king values ??birds and despises scholars. This is the third crime." After listing Zhu Zou's crimes, Yanzi asked for instructions to kill Zhu Zou. Jinggong said: "Don't kill me, I understand your advice."
Wang Jixin felt ashamed after hearing the chess game
Wang Jixin's chess skills were accomplished, and he thought that there was no one in the world. Someone who rivals him. He is going to travel to the capital and stay in a hotel. The lights had been extinguished, and through the wall I heard the old lady innkeeper calling her daughter-in-law: "It's hard to distract myself from this beautiful night. Can we play a game of chess?" My daughter-in-law said, "Okay." The old woman said, "On which lane should I place the chess pieces? "The daughter-in-law said: "Place the chess pieces on the next line." They said this dozens of times. The old woman said, "I give up in this game." Secretly memorizing (the position and order of the chess pieces they arranged), the next day he resumed the development of the situation in the game between the two, and the intention (of each move) was beyond his ability to catch up. 4.

As for the First Emperor, the remaining warriors of the Sixth Dynasty mobilized their strategy to control the inner world, swallowed up the princes for two weeks, acted as the supreme and controlled the Liuhe, beat and beat the world, and whipped the world. Shocking all over the world.
Take the land of Baiyue in the south and call it Guilin and Xiangjun. The king of Baiyue bows his head and ties his neck, and orders his subordinates.
He ordered Meng Tian to build the Great Wall to the north and guard the fence, but he defeated the Huns for more than 700 miles. The barbarians did not dare to go south to herd horses, and the soldiers did not dare to bend their bows and complain.
So he abolished the ways of the previous kings, burned the words of hundreds of families, and used stupid Guizhou heads. He famously made the city famous, killed the heroes, collected the soldiers of the world, gathered in Xianyang, sold Feng Dy, and cast it as the Twelve Golden People. Weaken the people of the world. Then practice Huahua City, because the river is a pond, occupy the city of hundreds of millions of feet, and think it is solid in the face of unexpected abyss.

The world has been settled, and the First Emperor's heart is that he thinks that the Guanzhong is solid, the golden city is thousands of miles away, and the inheritance of descendants and emperors will last forever. 6. Ask for an ancient article about wolves
There were wolves in Huangsang Valley. They were extremely hungry and entered the village to steal pigs.
When you get to the pig house, open the pen door first to prepare for escape. Watching the pig sleeping soundly, you can gently stretch your front paws to scratch the pig's itch. The pig's body is full of lice, and it feels very comfortable to scratch it. When the good point is scratched, the pig's hooves are spread out and it can be manipulated at will.
For a long time, the wolf slightly stretched its tusks, nibbled the pig's ears lightly, made it stand up, stood side by side with it, nudged the pig's buttocks with its tail, and drove together. As we leave the village and get further away, the whipping becomes more urgent. When they reached the valley, the wolf showed its ferocious appearance, pounced on it, bit its throat, drank its blood, ate its flesh, and then calmly left.
How are those who are imprisoned for taking bribes due to greed different from those pigs?
----------------------------------------
Translation: There was a wolf in Huangsangyu. It was very hungry and ran to the village to steal a pig. He ran to the pig pen and first punched a hole in the door of the pen to prepare for escape. Seeing that the pig was sleeping soundly, he gently stretched out his front paws and scratched the pig. There were many lice on the pig's body, and he felt very comfortable after scratching it for a few times. When it felt most comfortable, the pig's four hooves spread out flatly, and the pig's body was completely stretched out. The wolf was at the mercy of the wolf. After a long time, he slightly opened his staggered tusks, bit the pig's ear, made it stand up, stood side by side with him, tapped the pig's butt lightly with his tail, and walked out together, out the door. Very far away, the wolf's tail began to beat more and more violently. When it reached the recess of the mountain, the wolf showed its ferocious look and suddenly bit the pig's throat, drank up its blood and ate all its meat, and then walked away calmly. From today's perspective, what's the difference between people who end up in jail because of greed and bribery, and those pigs?
