At first, I slept during the day and I was very hungry. Suddenly I became simple and honest, and I was eaten. When a leaf announces beginning of autumn, it is the beginning for Chinese chives to show off their taste and help them gain weight. It is really a pity. After the abdomen is filled, the myotomy is performed. I really appreciate your repair, but thank you for your observation. July 1 1 day, (concentrated).
2. Translation
I woke up at noon and I was very hungry. I just received your message and the pickled leek you gave me at this time. As the saying goes, rather critical. In early autumn, leeks are fragrant. Cooked mutton mixed with chives you gave me, I think mutton tastes more delicious. This is really a delicious food. After a hearty meal, I am grateful. Here, I write this letter seriously to express my gratitude. Please pay attention to my gratitude. The above was written by Yang Ningshi on July 1 1.

Yang Ningshi, a native of Huayin, Shaanxi, was born in Du Jing and Bai Xu. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, he was a doctor, and in the Five Dynasties, he was an official of the prince, also known as "Yang Taishi". He used to pretend to be crazy, so "Crazy Yang" became his nickname. He can recite poems and is humorous, especially good at writing letters. Yang Ningshi's handwriting is mostly written on the wall, and his brushwork is simple and elegant. Huang Tingjian went to Luoyang to see the ink on the temple wall. He said: Yang's calligraphy is a wonderful flower, which is not the same as Wu Sheng's painting.
