1. Classical Chinese translation of Chen Ding's "Xinzhi of Yu Chu. Biography of Bada Shanren"
Bada Shanren was the clan of Ning Fan in the Ming Dynasty, with the title of Renwu. "人屋" means "a vast building with thousands of rooms". He is aloof by nature, has backbone, and is extremely intelligent, unmatched by anyone. He was able to compose poetry at the age of eight, was good at calligraphy, seal cutting, and especially good at painting. I once painted a lotus, half-open in the pond, with scattered fallen leaves, leaning across the water, full of vitality; hanging it in the hall, it seemed as if a breeze was blowing slowly, and the fragrance often filled the whole room. He once painted a dragon, which was winding up and down in the canvas, as if it wanted to fly; if Ye Gong saw it, he would definitely scream and run away in panic. He was witty and liked to discuss. He always talked eloquently and tirelessly, which attracted everyone around him. His father, XX, was also good at calligraphy and painting, and was very famous in the western region of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. However, he was mute and could not speak.
In the Jiashen year, the Ming Dynasty fell and his father died. Renwu inherited his father's ambition, but he was also mute and unable to speak. The people who followed him and were ordered to do things all gave him signals with their eyes; if it was to his liking, Renwu would nod, and if it was not to his liking, Renwu would shake his head. He expressed greetings to the guests with his hands, listened to people talking about ancient and modern things, and laughed silently when he heard something he understood. After more than ten years of this, he left his family and became a monk, taking the nickname "Xue Ge". It didn't take long for him to suffer from madness. At first, he lay on the ground and cried softly. After a while, he looked up to the sky and laughed. After laughing, he suddenly kept jumping again, howling loudly and crying bitterly. Sometimes they bang their bellies and sing loudly, sometimes they dance wildly in the market. Within a day, there were various forms of madness. The people in the market disliked his disturbance, so they made him drunk with wine, and his madness stopped. More than a year later, his condition improved and he was renamed "Geshan". Not long after, he stroked his head and said, "I've become a monk, why not name him donkey?" So he changed his name to "Geshan Donkey". After a few years, his wife and children died. Someone said to him: "Severing sacrifices to ancestors is not the way to make descendants of ancestors. Aren't you afraid?" The mountain donkey sighed with emotion, grew his hair, married a wife and had offspring, and called him "Bada Da" Mountain Man". He himself said: "The so-called eight great things mean that in all directions, I am the greatest, and there is no one greater than me."
Since Shanren is addicted to drinking, he has no other hobbies. People liked his paintings, and most of them bought wine to entertain him, and prepared several liters of ink and some paper on the right side of their seats. When the mountain man saw it after being drunk, he happily splashed ink on the large drawing paper, sometimes using a broken broom and a broken hat to paint, making the paper dirty and unsightly. After that, he began to paint some of them into mountains and forests, some into hills and valleys, some into flowers, birds, bamboos and rocks, all of which were exquisite. If you meet him who likes painting, then roll up your sleeves, stretch your arms, pick up your trouser legs, scream and shout, and dozens of paintings will be completed in a moment. When he wakes up, you can ask him for a piece of paper or a word. Even if a hundred pieces of gold were placed in front of him, he would not care. He was so crazy.
Wai Shishi said: "Is Shanren really crazy? Why are his pen and ink so majestic? I once read Shanren's poems and paintings, and I thought they were very powerful in the Tang and Song Dynasties. As for calligraphy, it is from He came from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Asked his fellow villagers, they all said that he got those calligraphy and paintings after he was drunk. 2.

Yu Chu’s Xinzhi Wang The Fourteenth Biography
Wang Shishi is from Xin'an, his name is unknown. He is generous and fierce, good at riding and shooting, and has the style of Yanzhao. Anyone who was doing business here was often robbed. Hearing that Wang Xianluo worshiped his horse as a "talisman", he joined hundreds of people and rode on the mountain. , Wang bent his bow towards each other, and the arrow hit the ground, causing it to fall in the air. Therefore, the green forest was very afraid of it, and Qiu did not dare to attack it. The merchants made many times the profit, but the Baizhen disciples became increasingly poor, and they were worried about it. But who can do that?
After a while, Wang said with enthusiasm: "I am old!" Not thinking about returning, just armed with a bow and an arrow, walking through the mountains and rivers, heading towards the land of apes, jackals and tigers to gain a high reputation, this is not what a husband deserves! "Because he was determined to return. When he returned, he would enjoy himself in the countryside and never ask about outdoor matters. But in the past, all those who came to and from Sichuan were plundered, and the mountain paths were blocked. So he staggered to Xin'an, and Luo bowed outside the door and said, "I would like to beg the strong man. Passing through Xichuan again will enable the weak in our generation to become strong and the poor to become rich, so that the followers of Xiao Ju will not be as ambitious as my fellow travellers. What is the promise of a strong man? "At this time, Wang Shishi's ambition was not dead, so he made a promise and said, "Promise! "He went out laughing and rode away with his bow and arrows in hand. So among the mountains and ridges, there were no traces of Wang's horse again.
The green forest was frightened when they heard the salty water, and they plotted how to defeat Wang; they told the mountains and rivers about the thunderstorm. The god should display Wang Shi's head on the tripod. Then he rode with several people, dressed as merchants, as they approached the bandit's nest, and the sound of arrows came from Wang Zheng's bow. One man swung his sharp blade towards the string, but the string broke and the arrow fell. Wang was so desperate that he captured him and took him into the stronghold. The dog is in an empty room, his hands and feet are tied, and he cannot move. At sunset, take fourteen heads of the dog and place them on the tripod to reward the god of mountains, rivers, and thunder.
Wang suddenly stared and saw a beautiful woman smiling at Wang and saying, "You are such a great hero, why are you bound here?" Wang Qi said angrily and pitifully, "Stop talking! If you can save me, then save me." So, the women's army is not enough!" The beauty said: "That's what I want. But I'm afraid that after I save you, you will be like a hungry eagle and an angry dragon, and I will be a ghost under the tent. What can I do? "Wang said: "Otherwise, there is nothing we can do to save one of them. If we march with a million soldiers, it will be like nothing. How can we be my vanguard?" Because of the relative generosity and intensity. The beauty cut off her bonds with her sword and came out. Wang Budu got up to thank him and saw swords, bows and arrows beside his house, so he took them with him. Holding the beauty on the left and the instrument on the right, they walked hundreds of steps and met a very handsome horseman, so they sat on it together. The thieves heard this and rushed forward. Wang said sternly: "Come on, come on! I'll shoot you!" He fell down in response to the string. After firing dozens of arrows in succession, dozens of people fell down in response. The thief finally had no choice but to leave.
Wang Cong immediately asked the beauty her name. The beauty cried and said: "I am a eunuch. My father is a minister of Lan Province and now lives in the capital. This year I brought my family to the capital and were robbed. My mother and all the maidservants were all killed, leaving me alone to be raped and raped. Jian, it's beyond words. The reason why I am immortal is that I want to see Yan Jun without any hatred. I also think that there may be a great hero in the world who can pull him out of the tiger's den, so I have hesitated until now to meet Mr. Yan. , I know where I died!" Wang said: "My rebirth is a gift from you. Although the capital is far away, I should guard you with my sword and stick." So I followed the car by land and the boat by water, and ran for several days. Thousands of miles away, we lived and ate together for a day, and had no intention of getting along with each other. Instead, he gave his daughter to his respecter, and returned to Xin'an from the capital to die in old age. When he was old and dead, the local people celebrated the special events in his life and built a temple to commemorate him, which was called "Wang Shixiang Gong Temple". Prayers are always answered, people enjoy singing and dancing in the Spring and Autumn Period, and blood food is still alive today.
[Zhang Shanlai said: There is this strange man in my hometown, and Dazu is very interested in Xin'an. And Wen Zhiyao's pretentiousness and eccentricity are especially comparable to Wang Shishi's. 4.

"The Biography of Bearded Qiao" was read in Dongting Mountain Township, Wu County, Ming Dynasty. There were woodcutter , handsome and tall, with no name, but extremely powerful.
Every evening, I am woodcutter and walk alone in the mountains, not avoiding snakes and tigers. The salary earned is only one hundred catties per person, and the beard alone can bear two hundred and forty catties. However, if you give it to others, it will only be one hundred catties.
People may ask this question in surprise, and the beard says: "Everyone eats his own strength from the mountain where the salary is collected. It's not like he doesn't want to bear too many burdens, and his strength is too much.
My strength is twice as strong as mine. ①The food is not suitable for people, so it is of low value. If the value is low, then my salary is easy to sell. Isn’t it profitable?” This person is quite different, so I am very surprised.
A man with a beard who doesn’t know how to read, but he likes to listen to people talking about ancient and modern affairs, is often inspired by righteousness, and speaks out to argue about right and wrong. Confucian scholars have no difficulty. After tasting the lotus salary, I went to the theater to watch "The Legend of Jingzhong".
The so-called Qin Hui came out, his beard was angry, he leaped onto the stage, threw the juniper and beat him, causing him to bleed to death. Everyone was shocked to save him.
Beard said: "If you were the prime minister and raped like this, how could you not beat him to death?" The crowd said, "This play is not real juniper." Beard said: "I also know the play, so I beat him to death." , If it is true, I will give you the axe!" His nature is strong and evil.
There was an orphan named Chen Xueqi in Dongting. He hired a daughter of the Zou family as his wife, and the marriage was scheduled. The girl's brother suddenly seized her sister's ambition and offered Su Huan as his concubine.
Xueqi cried and complained to the officials. The officials were afraid of the power of the eunuchs, so there was nothing they could do. Xueqi sues his female brother, but the official does not protect his brother.
Xueqi is very embarrassed. One day, Beard was on the way, so he told me, and said: "If you are so righteous, can you help me raise this?" Beard promised: "It will take some time, so don't force me."
Xueqi cried. The beard is gone, and the person is a servant of the distinguished person.
The manifest ones are able to enter the inner gate because of their strength and diligence, their deep faith and love. Zou Erguo was his third concubine.
If you have time, tell your story. The girl wept like rain, complained that she had lost her body, and wished that she would be Kunlun.
Beard said: "No need to force it." One day, Xianzhe's wife led a group of nuns to visit Tianping Mountain, and Xianzhe could not stop her.
The beard congratulated him and said: "The plan is done!" So the secret boat went to the river. Among the concubines, the third one was the Zou family.
After going out, he tied up his mate and walked quickly along a circuitous route to the river stem. He called to the woman, "Get on the boat!" The boat opened suddenly and the sails were as fast as sailing.
The servants were frightened and started to chase after him.
The three men in Beard Fist fell to the ground and could not make a sound. Xu left, and the female boat had arrived at Chenmen.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the ancient yamen ④ were excited by the strange learning. The beard is said to be a scholar, and it is urgent to be promoted to an official position in order to get a wife.
Those who do not reveal themselves directly at the beginning of their official career will be highly praised and asked to know the meaning of their beards, and they will be given silk, wine, and flowers to honor them. Those who show it are ashamed, and those who don't hear it will be embarrassed.
It is written by Yi Qiao Mingyi. Note ①: five times.
②Kunlun: The Kunlun slave, the righteous man in the Tang legend "Kunlun slave". ③绐: deception.
④Gu Ya Ya: The righteous knight in the Tang Dynasty legend "Wushuang Biography", Ya Ya is the official name. (Qing Dynasty Gu Cai's "Biography of Bearded Qiao", selected from "New Records of Yu Chu·Volume 8") Reference Translation In the late Civilization Dynasty, in the village of Dongting Mountain in Wuxian County, there was a firewood collector with a big beard and a tall figure. , whose name is unknown, is extremely powerful.
I often collect firewood at night and walk alone in the mountains without fear of encountering poisonous snakes and tigers. Others can only carry a hundred kilograms of firewood. The bearded woodcutter can carry two hundred and forty kilograms on his own, but when he sells it to others, he only charges a hundred kilograms of firewood.
Someone asked him in surprise, and Beard Qiao said: "Firewood comes from the mountains, and people just rely on their own resources. It's not that they don't want to carry more, but they don't have that much strength.
I My strength is five times that of others, but I don’t eat as much as others, so the price is lowered. Besides, the price is lowered and my firewood is easier to sell. Isn’t this a benefit?” So people think he is a strange person. , looked at him with admiration even more.
Beard Qiao is illiterate, but he likes to listen to others talk about the past and present. He is often aroused by righteous indignation, speaks out, and debates the pros and cons of right and wrong. Even scholars can't stop him. (Once), I once carried firewood to the theater to watch "The Legend of Jingzhong". The actor who played Qin Hui appeared on the stage. Bearded Qiao was furious, jumped on the stage, threw Qin Hui down and beat him, beating him until he was bleeding, almost To die.
Everyone rushed to the rescue. Beard Qiao said: "He is the prime minister, and he is so evil. If you don't beat him to death, why are you waiting?" Everyone said, "This is acting, not the real Qin Hui."
Beard Qiao said: "I I also knew it was an act, so I hit him. If it were the real Qin Hui, I would have used his flesh and blood to lubricate my axe!" He has a strong character and hates evil like this. There was an orphan named Chen Xueqi in Dongting who hired a girl from the Zou family as his wife. The date of the marriage had been set.
The woman's brother suddenly took away her sister's will and gave her to a eunuch named Su as his concubine. Xueqi went to the government and cried. The government was afraid of Su Huan's power and had no choice.
Xueqi sued Zou's daughter's brother, and Su Huan protected Zou's daughter's brother together, so that the injustice could not be redressed. There is nothing Xueqi can do.
One day, I met Beard Qiao on the road and told him the reason of the matter, and said: "You have always hated evil, can you solve this problem for me?" Beard Qiao promised him: "I just need a certain amount of time. Don’t rush me when it’s time.” Xueqi was so moved that he cried.
After Beard Qiao left, he sold himself to the Xianzhe's house as a carriage servant. Because he was strong and diligent, the Reverend trusted him very much, and he could enter and leave the inner room at will. The woman surnamed Zou was indeed his third wife.
Beard Qiao looked for an opportunity to tell Zou Nu about the situation. Zou Nu burst into tears and told him how she had lost her virginity. She hoped that Beard Qiao could be a righteous man like Kunlun Nu (come to save her).
Beard Qiao said: "Don't be anxious." One day, Xianzhe's wife led Xianzhe's little wives to visit Tianping Mountain, and Xianzhe could not stop it.
Bearded Qiao secretly congratulated and said: "The plan can be implemented." So he secretly prepared the boat by the river.
The wives of the Reverend got into the car, and Beard Qiao drove the third car, which was the daughter of the Zou family. After going out, Beard Qiao deceived his deputy, turned to another road and ran quickly. When he reached the river bank, he said to Zou Nu: "Get on the boat!" The boat set off immediately, opened the sails, and ran as fast as he could.
The servants were horrified by this sudden change and ran to catch up, shouting. Beard Qiao knocked the three people to the ground with his fists, making them unable to scream.
Slowly left, and the woman's boat had already arrived in front of Chen's house. Xueqi was very moved by his wife, thinking that ancient righteous knights were just like this.
Beard Qiao told Xueqi that he should report the situation of finding his wife to the government as soon as possible. The government did not allow prominent people to file lawsuits. At this time, people clapped their hands and cheered, asked the bearded Qiaoman the reason for his morality, rewarded him with clothes, fine wines, and decorated him with festoons to glorify him.
The man who showed it was ashamed and closed the door as if he didn’t hear it. From then on, the reputation of the righteous Beard Qiao became even more evident. 5. Translation of the classical Chinese text "New Records of Yu Chu·Guo Mao'er"
There was a man named Guo Mao'er in Yangzhou who was good at ventriloquism performances. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, when I was in Yangzhou, a good friend came to my residence together with Guo Maoer. After drinking for three rounds, Guo Maoer stood up and asked his master for permission to show off his skills for fun. The master readily agreed. Guo Maoer then set up several screens around the banquet on the right side of the banquet. No lights or candles were placed. He sat behind the screen, and the host and guest became quiet, waiting for the performance to begin.
There was no sound for a long time. After a while, many chickens (frightened) started crowing wildly. Each of the different sounds had its own characteristics. After a while, he heard his father call his son: "It's almost dawn, you can kill the pigs." After the son struggled to get up, he went to the pigsty to feed the pigs. He could only hear the sounds of pigs eating, chewing, and competing for food, and the sounds of his father boiling water, putting it in the furnace, and pouring water came and went. Not long after, the young man tied up a pig. The pig's neighing as it was tied, the sound of his son sharpening his knife and killing the pig, the sound of the pig being killed and bleeding, and the sound of the pig being scalded and losing its hair were all clearly audible. They are not alike. Finally, the father said to his son: "It's daybreak, you can sell it."

Just when the excitement was boiling, there was a sudden "Boom!" and everyone around became quiet (the performance was also over). 6.
