1. Translation of Chen Shou's Biography of History of Classical Chinese Civilization
The translation of "History of Ming Dynasty: Chen Shou's Biography" is Chen Shou, whose courtesy name is Benren. His ancestors were from Xingan.
My grandfather Chen Zhihong replaced his elder brother in guarding Liaodong during the Hongwu period, so he joined the Ningyuan Guards. Chen Shou was very poor when he was young. He found money lost by others and waited until midnight to return it to the owner.
He studied under He Qin, a fellow countryman, and passed the Jinshi examination in the eighth year of Chenghua. He was awarded the post of Huke and Shizhong. Inspect the propaganda and border defenses, impeach and remove the eunuchs who have misbehaved.
He was also imprisoned in imperial prison for impeaching Concubine Wan Guifei's brother, the eunuch Liang Fang, and the monk Jixiao. When you are released, all your merits and promotions will be given to you.
In the first year of Hongzhi, Wang Shu took charge of the Ministry of Personnel and promoted Chen Shou to Dali Cheng. Liu Ji hated Wang Shu and suggested that the censor should impeach Chen Shou because he was not familiar with the criminal law, hoping to blame Wang Shu.
Chen Shou was eventually transferred to Nanjing Guanglu Shaoqing, where he was appointed as Hongluqing. In the winter of the thirteenth year, Chen Shou became the governor of Yansui by virtue of his status as the censor of Youqiandu.
Huoshai invaded the frontier many times, and all the former town inspectors were convicted and resigned. After Chen Shou took office, he gathered equipment and food and pay, dispatched spies widely, and arranged people and horses into ten groups, so that they could coordinate with each other for rescue, and the military power began to rise.
The next year, the enemy troops invaded on a large scale, and first sent more than a hundred cavalry to lure them. The generals requested an attack, but Chen Shou disagreed.
He personally went out of the tent, led dozens of cavalry, and directed the food and drink on the Hu bed. When the enemy saw this, they were confused and retreated.
The officers and soldiers attacked the enemy from all sides, beheading and capturing many of them. The imperial court was sending Miao Kui and other troops to arrive, but Chen Shou had already reported the victory.
Xiaozong commended him and gave him a first-class salary. Miao Kui wanted to take advantage of the victory and destroy the enemy's lair.
After being stationed in Yansui for a long time, the 30,000 war horses consumed countless fodder every day. Chen Shou asked to go out to graze near the border fortress, near the water and grass, and everyone looked embarrassed.
Chen Shou mounted his horse and went first, and everyone followed him, saving hundreds of thousands in military expenses. When the battle was won, someone advised him to write down the names of his children. Chen Shou said: "My children don't even know how to shoot arrows or use spears. How can they be rewarded with the soldiers who fought bloody battles?" promise.
In the 16th year, Chen Shou took charge of the South Academy as the right deputy censor of the capital. During the Zhengde period, Liu Jin falsely conveyed an imperial edict and arrested Dai Xian, Bo Yanhui and others of Nanjing Kedao. Chen Shou directly submitted a memorial to rescue them.
Liu Jin was furious and ordered him to resign from his official post. Soon he was convicted of Yansui's warehousing losses and was fined 2,000 stones of rice and 1,500 pieces of cloth.
Chen Shou's family was poor and could not compensate, so he wrote to the emperor to state his situation. Liu Jin found out that Chen Shou was poor and exempted him from punishment.
The eunuch Liao Tang guarded Shaanxi. Liao Tang was greedy and cruel, but Yang Yiqing believed that Chen Shou was resolute and decisive, so in the first month of the ninth year, he appointed him to patrol Shaanxi.
Liao Tang was ordered to make 160 felt tents and made a surplus of tens of thousands of taels of silver, which he planned to give to powerful officials. Chen Shou sent a message to the competent authorities to reserve it for loan relief, and warned Liao Tang not to do so. Confiscating property in the name of paying tribute to the court. Liao Tang was angry and planned to exclude him.
Chen Shou wrote four times to request retirement, but was not allowed. Dozens of Liao Tang's minions were scattered in various prefectures and counties to exploit the people. Chen Changshou ordered them to be arrested. All of them fled back, and their arrogance was curbed.
In the autumn of this year, Chen Shou was appointed as the Minister of War in Nanjing. The people of Shaanxi crowded around his car crying and could not set off for a long time. After one year, he asked to retire and was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment on the spot and retired.
When Chen Shou was appointed to the throne, he was outspoken about current affairs, but he did not like to impeach others. He said: "My father warned me not to be an official in the Ministry of Punishment, because it is easy for officials in the Ministry of Punishment to unjustly accuse people.
It is even more serious for admonishment officials to unjustly accuse people. I dare not say anything casually." In the first year of Jiajing, Chen Shou was ordered to advance to the first-grade official rank. , sent officials to express condolences, when he was eighty-three years old.
Chen Shou was an honest official. After serving as an official for forty years, he was homeless. When he lived in Nanjing, his residence could not protect him from wind and rain.
After Chen Shou passed away, he wrote to Li Chongsi and Prefect Kou Tianxu to collect his body. After a few more years, with the help of relatives and friends, he was able to be buried in Xingan.
The original text of "History of Ming Dynasty: Biography of Chen Shou" is Chen Shou, courtesy name Benren, who was born in Xingan. Zu Zhihong, his elder brother guarded Liaodong during the Hongwu period, so he was a native of Ningyuanwei.
He was young and very poor, so he found some money left behind and sat there until midnight to return it to his owner. He learned from He Qin, a native of the country, and became a Jinshi in the eighth year of Chenghua. He was awarded the household science title to Shizhong.
Monitor the propaganda and strengthen the border defense, and impeach those who are indiscipline in the guard. They also tried to impeach Concubine Wan Guifei's brothers, as well as Zhongguan Liang Fang and Seng Jixiao, and sent them to prison.
After being released, he repeatedly moved the capital to Shizhong. In the first year of Hongzhi, Wang Shu was appointed to the Ministry of Personnel and promoted to Dali Cheng.
Liu Ji regretted his forgiveness and satirized the imperial censor for not being accustomed to punishments, hoping to forgive him. He was transferred to Nanjing Guanglu Shaoqing, and then transferred to Hongluqing.
In the winter of the thirteenth year, the censor of Youqiandu visited Yansui. The fire sifted several thieves, and all the inspectors in the former town were offended.
On the day of longevity, search for military strength, spread spies, and distribute soldiers and horses into ten groups to support each other, and the military strength begins to rise. Next year, all the tribes will come in large numbers, and they will first lure them with more than a hundred horses.
The generals please attack him, but he will not be able to live long. After leaving the tent, he gathered dozens of horses and ordered his troops to eat and drink according to Hu's bed.
When the bandits see them, they suspect them and lure them away. Various attacks led to many gains.
The imperial court sent Miao Kui and other heavy troops to arrive, but Shou had already achieved victory. Xiaozong Jiazhi was awarded the first class.
Kui wants to take advantage of the victory and destroy the nest. After staying in Yansui for a long time, the daily cost of 30,000 war horses was not enough.
Shou please go out to herd close to the fortress, where there are water and grass, and everyone is in trouble. Shou crosses the horse first, and everyone follows it, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars.
When the battle is victorious, Shou may be persuaded to write down the names of his children, but Shou says, "My children don't know how to use bows and bows. Would they rather be rewarded with the bloody warriors?" But he refuses. In the 16th year, he took charge of Nanyuan as the right deputy capital censor.
In the early days of Zhengde, Liu Jin issued an edict to arrest Dai Xian and Bo Yanhui of Nanjing Kedao, and Shou Kangzhang discussed their rescue. Jin was angry and ordered him to become an official.
Xunzuo Yansui suffered a loss in storage and was fined 2,300 shi of rice and 1,500 pieces of cloth. Poverty cannot repay the debt, so he filed a private prosecution in the previous chapter.
Jin Lian knew that he was poor, so he was exempted from it. Zhongguan Liaotang suppressed corruption in Shaanxi, and Yang Yiqing lived in Congo, and he started to care for the land in the first month of the ninth year.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he was ordered to make a hundred and sixty felts, and won tens of thousands of gold. The director of the Shouxiu Department should be prepared to be vigilant, and when he returns to the Yue Hall, he should not falsely contribute to the name and obtain scientific results.
The hall is so angry that it will be poured out. I have been begging for leave for a long time, but I can't.
Dozens of generations of minions of the Tang Dynasty have been scattered around the county to catch fish for profit, but they all fled back and became depressed. In the autumn, I paid homage to the Minister of War in Nanjing, and the Shaanxi people called for support, so I couldn't move to the sun.
After more than a year, he begged for bones, so he became the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and became an official. In the matter of longevity, he said that there was nothing hidden in the current affairs, but he did not like to impeach people. He said: "My father warned me not to be a criminal official, as it would be easy to wrong others.
It is especially serious to say that officials are wrongful to others, and I dare not That's nonsense." Jiajing changed the Yuan Dynasty, and he was promoted to the first rank. He sent you Si Cunwen, who was eighty-three years old.
Shou Lian, who has been an official for forty years, is homeless. Living in Nanjing, the place where I live is not protected from wind and rain.
His death was captured by Shangshu Li Chongsi and Fu Yin Kou Tianxu. After several more years, with the help of relatives and old friends, he was able to be buried. 2. Chinese translation by Chen Shou, author of "The Miraculous Doctor Hua Tuo"
The original text of "The Miraculous Doctor Hua Tuo" was when Tuo was walking on the road and saw a man suffering from throat congestion and craving for food.
When Tuo heard about his illness, he stopped his car and looked at it, saying: "There has always been a bakery selling garlic and glutinous rice on the side of the road. If you take three liters of it and drink it, your illness will go away." Just as Tuo said, he spit out a snake and stood beside the county cart, trying to make Tuo.
Before Tuo returned home, a child was playing in front of the door. When he saw him, he said to himself: "It seems that I met my father-in-law. He is sick by the car." The sick man went forward and sat down, and saw this snake in Tuo Beibi County. The number of seniors is approximately ten.
Translation One day, Hua Tuo was walking on the road and saw a man suffering from a blocked throat. He wanted to eat but could not swallow. His family took him to seek medical treatment in a car. When Hua Tuo heard the patient's screams, he stopped the car to go to the clinic and told them: "There is a cake seller on the roadside where I came just now. He sells minced garlic and vinegar. If you buy three liters from the shopkeeper and eat it, the pain will go away naturally." It will be fine.
"
They immediately did as Hua Tuo said. After the patient ate it, he immediately spit out a snake-like parasite. They hung the parasite on the side of the car and went to Hua Tuo's house to thank him. Hua Tuo has not returned yet. At home, his two children were playing at the door. When they saw them, the children told each other: "It feels like they have met our father. The 'disease' hanging on the side of the car is proof of this." ”
The patient went up to the room and sat down, and saw about a dozen specimens of this parasite hanging on the north wall of Hua Tuo’s room. 3. Translation of Chen Shou, author of "The Miracle Doctor Hua Tuo"
1. Translated by Hua Tuo, a native of Qiao County, Peiguo, also known as Fu.
He left his hometown to study in Xuzhou and was proficient in several classics (referring to "Poetry"). ", "Book of Changes", "Book of Changes", "Spring and Autumn Annals" and other Confucian classics). Chen Gui, the prime minister of Pei State, recommended him as Xiaolian, and he was recruited by Taiwei Huang Wan, but he did not take up the post.
(Hua Tuo) knew how to maintain health. People at the time thought that he was almost a hundred years old, but he still looked like a young man. He was also proficient in medicine. When he treated diseases, he only used a few herbs to prepare decoctions. Understand the weight and proportion of the medicine. There is no need to weigh it. Boil the medicine and let the patient drink it. Tell the patient the contraindications and precautions for taking the medicine. The disease will be cured after the medicine residue is poured out.
If If moxibustion is needed, it only requires one or two acupuncture points. Each acupuncture point only needs to be burned with seven or eight moxa sticks, and the pain can be eliminated easily. If acupuncture is needed, it only requires one or two acupuncture points. Said: “[Acupuncture sensing] should be extended somewhere, and if it gets there, tell me. "
When the patient said "We are here", the needles were started and the pain was quickly cured. If the patient's pain accumulates in the body, the effect of acupuncture and medicine will not be effective, and an incision must be made. If the patient went there, he would drink the "Ma Fei Powder" prepared by him. After a while (the patient) seemed to be drunk and unconscious, so he performed an operation to remove the accumulation.
If the patient was in the intestines. , the diseased part of the intestine was cut off, the wound and infected parts were cleaned, the incision was sutured and applied with ointment. After four or five days, the disease was cured and there was no more pain. The patient himself did not feel it. Within a month, the wound healed and recovered. Once upon a time, the wife of the prime minister of Ganling was six months pregnant and had abdominal pain and uneasiness. Hua Tuo checked her pulse and said, "The fetus is dead. "
Send someone to feel the location with their hands. On the left is a baby boy, and on the right is a baby girl. The person said "on the left", so he gave it decoction to abort it, and sure enough, the baby was born in the shape of a boy. , and he recovered immediately.
County official Yin Shiku had hot hands and feet, dry mouth, did not want to hear human voices, and had difficulty urinating. Hua Tuo said: "Try to eat hot food, and you will be cured if you sweat." Without sweating, death occurs within three days thereafter. "
Immediately eat hot food without sweating. Hua Tuo said: "The vitality of the five internal organs has been cut off in the body, and it is time to cry and die. "It was just as Hua Tuo said.
Ni Xun and Li Yan, the officials in the county governor's mansion, arrived at the same time (for medical treatment). They both had headaches and fever, and they had the same symptoms of illness. But Hua Tuo said: "Ni Xun should ( To excrete the internal heat through urine, Li Yan should expel it through sweating. "
Some people raised questions about these two different treatments. Hua Tuo replied: "Ni Xun has an external syndrome, and Li Yan has an internal syndrome, so they should be treated differently. "
Immediately give medicine to the two of them, and they get up together the next morning (that is, they have recovered and can move freely). Yandu (a place name, it belonged to Guangling County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, northwest of today's Yancheng City, Jiangsu) Yan Xin and several people asked Hua Tuo. When they arrived, Tuo said to Xin: "How are you feeling in your body?" "Yan Xin said: "I (feel) the same as usual. "
Hua Tuo said: "You have an acute illness and it will be reflected on your face. Don't drink too much." "After sitting back and walking for a few miles, Yan Xin suddenly became dizzy and fell under the car. People helped him back, took the car home, and died in the middle of the night.
The original governor (official name, in the Han Dynasty) Dun Zixian, the county governor's assistant, in charge of supervising and correcting illegal activities in the counties under his jurisdiction, had recovered from his illness. He went to Hua Tuo (there) to check his pulse and said: "I still have a deficiency syndrome and have not recovered yet. Don't do anything that causes fatigue." If you have sex with a woman, you will die immediately. When dying, he will stick out his tongue for several inches.
"
His wife heard that his illness was cured and came from a hundred miles away to visit him. He had been doing tiring things at home and got sick three days apart, exactly as Hua Tuo said.
Xu Yi, the governor, fell ill, and Hua Tuo went to visit him. Xu Yi said to Hua Tuo: "Yesterday, after letting Liu Zu, a junior official in charge of medical treatment in the government, to prick his stomach, he suffered from coughing. Even lying down and resting is not peaceful. "
Hua Tuo said: "The acupuncture did not reach the stomach and accidentally hit the liver. The food intake should be reduced day by day, and it will not be saved after five days. "Then as Hua Tuo said.
The two-year-old son of Chen Shushan in Dongyang (name of the county) is sick. He always cries for a while before going to the toilet and becomes thinner and tired day by day. Ask Hua Tuo , Hua Tuo said: "His mother was pregnant, and the yang energy was growing in the body and failed to reach the body surface, causing the milk to be deficient and cold, and the child received the mother's cold energy, so he could not recover in time." "
Hua Tuo gave him Siwunuwanwan (the name of the pill), and the disease was cured in ten days. A lady in Pengcheng went to the toilet at night, and a scorpion stung her hand. *** Called that there was nothing that could be done .
Hua Tuo asked his family to boil warm water until it was hot, and then dipped his wife's hand in it. Finally, he could fall asleep. However, the people next to him kept changing the hot water for her to keep it warm. , and recovered the next morning. Mei Ping, a junior officer in the army, fell ill and went home after being deregistered. He lived in Guangling (the name of the county) and stayed at a relative's house within two hundred miles.
After a while, Hua Tuo accidentally arrived at his master's place. The master asked Hua Tuo to check on Mei Ping. Hua Tuo said to Mei Ping: "You met me a long time ago, so you would not be in this state." Now that the disease has accumulated, he hurried back to see his family. He died in five days. "
He returned on time and died five days later as Hua Tuo said. Hua Tuo was walking on the road and saw a man suffering from a blocked throat. He wanted to eat but couldn't. His family carried him in a car. He went to seek medical treatment.
Hua Tuo heard the patient's screams, stopped his carriage and went to see the doctor, and told them: "There was a cake seller on the road where I came just now, which sold garlic paste and Big vinegar, if you buy three liters from the shopkeeper and drink it, your ailments will naturally be cured. "They immediately did as Hua Tuo said. After the patient ate it, he immediately spit out a snake (here refers to a parasite), hung the worm on the side of the car, and wanted to go to Hua Tuo's house (thank you).
Hua Tuo hadn't returned home yet. His two children were playing at the door. When they saw them, the children told each other: "It's like meeting our father. The 'disease' hanging on the side of the car is proof of this." "The patient went into the room and sat down, and saw about a dozen specimens of this type of parasite hanging on the north wall of Hua Tuo's room.
Another county guard was sick, and Hua Tuo thought that this person He was extremely angry, so he accepted his gifts many times without treating him. After a while, he abandoned him and left a letter insulting him. As expected, the county governor was furious and ordered people to chase and kill Hua Tuo.
The governor's son knew the situation and told the envoy not to pursue him. The governor became even more furious and vomited several liters of black blood and recovered.
Another scholar-official was unwell and Hua Tuo said, "You are sick." If the disease is serious, the abdomen should be opened for medical treatment. 4. Translation of the words "bearing humiliation and bearing heavy burdens" in classical Chinese Chen Shou
Chen Shou, whose courtesy name is Chengzuo, is from Anhan, Brazil.
When he was young, he loved learning very much and studied under Qiao Zhou from the same county. When he was the official of Guange Lingshi in Shu Kingdom, Huang Hao, the eunuch in the court, monopolized power and exerted his power. The ministers all colluded and relied on him against their own will. Only Chen Shou refused to give in, so he was demoted and dismissed many times.
After Chen Shou's father passed away, he himself became ill, so he asked his maid to make medicine into pills, which was seen by the guests who went to his house. The villagers (who thought he was not filial) commented on him Very low. After the Shu Kingdom was pacified by the Wei Kingdom, he was convicted of this incident and was unable to get promoted for many years.
Zhang Hua, the Sikong of the Jin Dynasty, cherished his talents and believed that although Chen Shou could not avoid suspicion, he would not be demoted if he investigated the truth. Provide subsidies to the Yangping County Magistrate. He wrote "The Collection of Zhuge Liang, Prime Minister of Shu" and presented it to the Emperor.
Appointed as the author and concurrently as the Zhongzheng of the county.
Wrote "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu", with sixty-five chapters.
People at that time praised him for being good at writing articles and having the talent of an excellent historian. Xiahou Zhan was writing "Book of Wei" at the time. When he saw what Chen Shou had written, he destroyed what he had written and gave up writing again.
Zhang Hua was very pleased and said to Chen Shou: "This matter should be written in the "Book of Jin"!" This is how he was valued by people at that time. There are rumors that Ding Yi and Ding Gong were once very famous in Wei State. Chen Shou said to their sons: "If you send a thousand dendrobium rice, I will write a good biography for your father."
The sons of Ding Yi and Ding Gong did not give him rice, and Chen Shou did not write a biography for Ding Yi and Ding Gong. Chen Shou's father was Ma Di's soldier. Ma Di was killed by Zhuge Liang. Chen Shou's father was also convicted and had his head shaved. Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Zhan despised Chen Shou.
When Chen Shou wrote Zhuge Liang's biography, he said that Zhuge Liang was not good at strategy and had no ability to deal with enemies. He said that Zhuge Zhan only wrote good calligraphy, which was in name only. People looked down on him because of it.
Zhang Hua was going to recommend Chen Shou to be the scholar. Xun Xu hated Zhang Hua and Chen Shou, so he tried to sway Chen Shou from the officials, and the officials moved Chen Shou to be the governor of Changguang. . Chen Shou declined to take up the job, citing his mother's old age.
After Du Yu intervened, he once again recommended Chen Shou in front of the emperor, thinking that he was suitable to fill the post of minister, so he was appointed as censor and governor. He did not go because he was worried about his mother. Take office. Chen Shou's mother's last words asked Chen Shou to bury her in Luoyang, and Chen Shou obeyed his mother's wishes.
However, he was convicted of not burying his mother in his hometown, and was eventually dismissed from office. At the beginning, Qiao Zhou once said to Chen Shou: "You will definitely become famous because of your talent and learning, but it is not unfortunate that you will be humiliated and encounter twists and turns. You must be cautious!" Chen Shou has been dismissed from office again, and Qiao Zhou was dismissed. Everything he said came true.
A few years later, Chen Shou was appointed as the crown prince's concubine, but he did not report it. In the seventh year of Yuankang, Chen Shou died of illness at the age of sixty-five.
Liangzhou Dazhongzhengshangshulang Fan Kui and others said: "In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict saying that "after Sima Xiangru died of illness, you can bring all his books." The envoy got Sima Xiangru. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very surprised when the book after his death was written about Feng Chan. Several of our ministers reviewed the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms written by the former censor Chen Shou. There were many words of encouragement and warning in the book, clarifying the gains and losses. It is beneficial to the social atmosphere.
Although the beauty of the article is not as good as that of Sima Xiangru, I hope it will be favored by the emperor and adopted. ”
So the emperor ordered Henan Yin and Luoyang to copy Chen Shou's book at home. Chen Shou also wrote 50 articles in the Chronicles of the Ancient Kingdom and 10 old biographies of Yiduqi. These articles other than the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms have been circulated in the world. 5.

You should be referring to the section of "The Legend of Zhuge Liang" selected by Chen Shou in "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms·The Chronicles of Shu·The Biography of Zhuge Liang". The original text is like this
The palace and the palace are all integrated into one; there should be no similarities or differences in whether or not the punishment is given: if there is an adulterer and a loyal person, he should be punished and rewarded by an official (24) to show his innocence. Your Majesty's principles are clear; it is not appropriate to be partial and use different methods internally and externally.
If you consult it carefully and then implement it, you will definitely be able to make up for the deficiencies and achieve widespread benefits.
General Xiang Chong, a well-behaved person, well versed in military affairs, tried to use it in the past, the late emperor called him "neng", so he was elected as the governor by public opinion: if he thought about the affairs in the camp, he would consult him carefully. By doing so, the formation will be harmonious and the good and the bad will be able to gain their place.
Being close to virtuous ministers and staying away from villains is why the early Han Dynasty prospered; being close to villains and being distant from virtuous ministers is why the Han Dynasty has declined since then. When the late emperor was still alive, whenever he discussed this matter with his ministers, he would always sigh and hate Huan and Lingye. Shizhong, Shangshu, Changshi, and joining the army, these are the ministers who have learned about Zhenliang's death. I hope your majesty will believe in it, and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty can be counted on in the coming days...
May your Majesty ask your ministers to bring the thieves back to life, and if that doesn't work, then you will be punished for their crimes, so as to appeal to the spirit of the late emperor. If there are no words to promote virtue, then blame You Zhi, Yi, Yun, etc. for their slowness, so as to make the blame clear; Your Majesty should also make plans for yourself, consult the good ways, listen to the elegant words, and follow the late emperor's edicts deeply. I am extremely grateful.
