Translation of Xu Wenchang Biography

The original of Xu Wenchang Biography:

Xu Wei, with a long word, is Yin Shan's favorite pupil. When Xue went to school, he was very talented and had the ambition to serve his country. It's amazing, but I tried again and again. Zhong Chenghu Gongzong heard about it and invited him to take a curtain call. Every time Wen Chang sees it, he wears a black towel and talks about what is happening in the world, which makes Gong Hu very happy. At that time, the governor counted the border troops, and Weizhen was in the southeast. He didn't dare to look up, but he was proud of his subordinates. Liu Zhenchang and Yun were negotiators. You will get a white deer, which belongs to Wen Chang and can be used as a table. On the table, Yong Ling is very happy. The public is a strange thing, and all the tricks are out of their control. Wen Chang is conceited and resourceful, curious and resourceful, talks about many soldiers, and regards the world as useless. But it's not fair.

Wen Chang lost his ambition to be a minister, so he indulged in mountains and rivers, went to the land of Qilu Yanzhao and saw the desert. What he saw was mountains rushing to the sea, clouds rising from the sand, rain singing trees dying, valleys and people, fish and birds. Everything was shocking and shocking, and everything was expressed in poetry. There was an indelible anger in his chest, and the hero lost his way and couldn't support his feet. Therefore, it is a poem, like laughing in anger, like the sound of running water in a gorge, like being unearthed, like a widow crying at night, and people are cold. Although his physique is sometimes humble, he is ingenious and has the spirit of a king, which is unexpected for those who serve others rather than women. He is knowledgeable, spiritual and strict with the law. He imitates things that don't hurt talents and talks about things that don't hurt people. Han Hezeng is also in Asia. Wen Chang is elegant and out of step with the times. At that time, the so-called Sao Tan main league was dismissed and enslaved, so his name was not from Yue, but a sad husband!

He likes to write books, and his brushwork is bold and unrestrained, like his poems. He is full of vigor and charm, and Ouyang Gong said that "the demon is a young woman, and the old age has its own residual state". Among the rest, flowers and birds are overflowing, all of which are superb.

Translation of Biography of Xu Wenchang;

Xu Wei was born in Yin Shan and enjoys a high reputation. When Xue was an official in Zhejiang, he was shocked by his talent and regarded him as a national. However, his fate was not good, and he failed in the exam many times. Upon hearing this, Zhong Chenghu hired Gong Zongxian as his assistant. Every time Wen Chang met Gong Hu, he always wore Gob robes and a black scarf and talked freely about world affairs, which was greatly appreciated by Gong Hu. At that time, Gong Hu commanded several armies. On the southeast coast of Weizhen, his soldiers always walk sideways in front, kneeling to answer, afraid to look up. However, Wen Chang's attitude towards Gong Hu is so arrogant that argumentative people compare him to the first-class figures of Liu Zhenchang and Du Shaoling. It happened that Gong Hu hunted a white deer and thought it was auspicious, so he asked Wen Chang to make a table of congratulations. After playing the table, Emperor Sejong was very satisfied. Gong Hu pays more attention to the length of his literature, and he has to deal with all the sparse books. Wen Chang is convinced that he has extraordinary intelligence and is good at winning by surprise, and his operational strategies are often to the point. He thinks that things in the world can't enter his eyes, but he always has no chance to do something.

Because Wen Chang was frustrated and ignored by the current government, he was a degenerate, drinking wantonly and indulging in landscapes. He traveled to Shandong (Qilu) and Hebei (Zhao Yan) and enjoyed the desert beyond the Great Wall. The mountains he saw were like galloping horses, waves standing on the walls, sand covering the sky and thunder stretching for thousands of miles, the sound of wind and rain and the shape of strange trees, even deep and desolate valleys and bustling cities, as well as strange people, strange fish and rare birds. All the unprecedented amazing natural and human landscapes were included in his poems. He has been suppressing a strong spirit of injustice and the sadness that heroes are useless. So his poems, sometimes cursing, sometimes laughing, sometimes rushing like mountain torrents in a canyon, sometimes breaking ground like spring buds, are full of vigorous vitality. His poems are sometimes as piercing as a widow's cry in the middle of the night, and sometimes as helpless as a traveler leaving the cold. Although his poetic style is sometimes humble, he is unique, with great atmosphere and superhuman spirit. Poetry as vulgar as a woman who treats people with color is hard to match. Xu Wenchang has a profound insight into the way of writing. His article is calm and rigorous. He doesn't suppress his talent and creativity for ruthlessness, nor does he indulge his comments and hurt the rigorous reasoning of his articles. He is really a first-class writer of Han Yu and Ceng Gong. Xu Wenchang's interest is elegant, and he doesn't keep pace with the times. He angrily attacked the so-called literary leaders at that time, so his words were ignored and his fame was limited to his hometown of Zhejiang. It was really sad!

Wen Chang likes calligraphy, and his pen is as unrestrained as his poems. In his energy and heroism, he has another charming gesture. Ouyang Gong's so-called beauty withering has another lasting appeal, which can be used to describe Wen Chang's calligraphy. Seo Woo, a long writer who is cultivated by poetry, writing and books, paints flowers and birds with aloofness and affection.
