Reply to Uncle Li Duan's letter
Stone nodded and bowed again. I have been famous for a long time, and I often see my own poems. Although not many, they are enough to make me a man.
The crime of ignorance and negligence can only be lenient, and the first step is guilty, which is not a word to comfort. Give up the apprentice from beginning to end, accept the favor first, then be too lazy to answer immediately, call a spade a spade, and give up the ceremony. As for this, the first step is not to give up, and then insult calligraphy halfway, which is conducive to treatment and makes you sweat on your face.
This is only the first step to make you smart, so you shouldn't promise others easily. You have to use the language of Huang Luzhi and Qin Taixu. Do you really think so? Immortality is hated by people, but the second son likes to look at fame alone, such as people who are addicted to long luck and sheep dates, but it is not easy to blame. It is impossible to treat the second son as a mistake, so it is impossible to move the masses.
When Shi was a teenager, he read and wrote essays for the purpose of response. Not only Jinshi, but also greed and policies, in fact, everything. However, its ministerial title bluntly remonstrates, so every theory of ancient and modern times, judging right and wrong, in order to answer its name. People don't know it, but they get it because they think it can be done. So far, they have offended several people by sitting here. The so-called Qi Lu breath officer, ridiculous.
But if the world wants to establish similarities and differences with history, it is too much. It is a habit of people to talk about interests and gains and losses. For example, when a bird is waiting for an insect, the sound it makes to itself is not enough for profit, but not enough for loss. Every time people blame Shi, they take him too seriously, and it is even more untrue to say so first.
Since I offended, I have been deeply blocked, pushed and scolded by intoxicating people. I am complacent and gradually unknown. I have never seen a word from my relatives and friends in my life, nor have I answered a book with them. I'm glad I survived. The first step is to re-create and push each other, which is very unexpected.
Wood has a gall, stone has a halo, and rhinoceros has a connection to benefit people; Everything is sick.
Living an idle life in exile, silently observing the whole province and reviewing what has been done in the past 30 years, there are many patients. You first saw me, not me now. It is nothing more than listening to its voice without measuring its feelings, and taking its beauty without giving up. Can you take it from here again? This matter must be satisfied.
I dare not write after offending. Although this book is not a text, it is faithful to the meaning of the book and does not need to be shown to others. This must be understood.
It's the end of the year, cold and bitter. I'm very sorry for your loss and strong food. There is no time. ?
2. Translation
i take my hat off to you. I have heard your name for a long time, and I often see your poems written by familiar friends. It's not much, but I can get to know you roughly.
We don't communicate at ordinary times, so we can forgive negligent mistakes; I didn't write a word of sympathy when you were in pain; My brother Ziyou came here to thank you for sending me a letter, but once again he didn't reply immediately because of laziness.
Clumsy, slow and rude, to this extent, but you didn't abandon me after all. Recently, I received your personal letter in the post, which was so affectionate and meaningful to me. After reading it, I really felt ashamed and sweaty.
You are talented and knowledgeable, so you shouldn't praise others casually. Is it because Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan and others praised me? Do you really think so? I am an unscrupulous person hated by the world, but both of them like to praise me, just as the ancients preferred calamus sauce and sheep dates, and it is hard to ask why.
Of course, I don't think their views are illusory; And it's even more impossible for you to change the average person's view of me.
When I was young, I read and wrote articles only for the imperial examination. After becoming a scholar, he was still insatiable and took an examination of the specialty of policy making. What's the practical significance? And that college exam was called "telling the truth and admonishing each other", so I often talk about the present and the ancient, textual research and comment on right and wrong, in order to get a name that conforms to "telling the truth and admonishing each other".
People suffer from lack of self-knowledge. Since they took the exam in this name, they think they really have some talents in this field, so they have been arguing and discussing in the article until now, offending them and almost being executed. What a ridiculous thing! However, most people in the world think that I am too unconventional.
People who take part in the system examination have a habit of discussing interests and evaluating gains and losses at will, such as migratory birds and time bugs, calling when they arrive and stopping when they are out of date. What harm will it do to current politics? I often complain that people today pay too much attention to me, and it is even more unrealistic for you to praise me like this.
Since I have offended, I have never left home and put an end to contact with the outside world. Often take a boat, wear sandals, indulge in mountains and rivers, and get along with woodcutters and fishermen. Often pushed and scolded by drunks, but often secretly happy, because people gradually don't know themselves.
I have never sent a letter to my friends and relatives in my life. Even if I send some letters, I won't answer them. I am glad that I can almost avoid contact with the world. However, if you say "Yang Tuizhong" again, it will not meet my wishes.
Trees grow, stones have rings with rhinoceros horns in the middle. These characteristics are used to make people feel beautiful and like it. In fact, these are the diseases and shortcomings of these things. After living in exile here, I have nothing to do. Always look at yourself silently and reflect on yourself. Looking back on what I have done in the past 30 years, most of them are sick.
You saw me in the past, not me today. I'm afraid I only hear that kind of false reputation without observing the true feelings, but only pay attention to that kind of phenomenon and ignore the essence, right? Or do you want to take one of the points? This matter can't be discussed in detail before we meet.
Since I was convicted, I have never dared to write poetry again. Although this letter is not an article, I don't think it is long and there is no need to show it to others because it is a letter about my inner views. I must understand what I mean.
The year is coming to an end, and the weather is very cold. I wish I could control my sadness: I want to eat more. Other situations will not be described in detail.

Su Shi in Northern Song Dynasty
Extended data 1, creative background
In the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), Su Shi was transferred to Huzhou. After taking office, he wrote a letter to the emperor "Huzhou thanks table". However, due to the sensational content, the words "stupid and out of date, it is difficult to keep up with the new progress" appeared, and Li Ding, Shu Tong and others were impeached against the new law and arrested and imprisoned. After he was released from prison, Su Shi was demoted to assistant to Ambassador Ying Yong in Huangzhou.
Li Zhiyi, an official in North Korea at that time, complained about Su Shi. In order to make Su Shi return to Beijing as soon as possible, he actively contacted North Korean friends and officials and sent letters to express his condolences and thoughts. Answering Uncle Li Duan is Su Shi's reply.
Step 2 enjoy
In this article, Su Shi is good at using metaphors to explain the truth. When talking about people's views on themselves, Su Shi said: "If people like to eat sheep dates; The contrast of "people who are not easy to find out the reason" shows that everyone has his own advantages and the evaluation of a person cannot be consistent.
Su Shi also compared "migratory birds call themselves insects, and what harm does it do", explaining that people in the normal system talk about gains and losses, just like spring swallow and autumn insects, they call when they call, but they don't call after the season. For others, it is both useless and harmful, leading to fatal disaster, which is both sad and ridiculous. This article is sincere and humble, indifferent and elegant. Su Shi is upright in writing and natural in spirit.
