When Dong Fangshuo first arrived in Chang 'an, he went to Chefu to write a letter to the emperor, and * * * used three thousand wooden slips. The bus house sent two people to lift his throne together, just enough to lift it.
Emperor Wu read Dong Fangshuo's memorial in the palace. When he needed to stop reading, he marked it there and read it for two months. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the appointment of Dong Fangshuo as a Langguan, who often served beside the emperor.
Repeatedly asked him to speak, Emperor Wu never felt unhappy. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty often gave him an imperial edict to eat.
After dinner, he held the rest of the meat in his arms and stained his clothes. The emperor gave him silks many times, and he always took them with his hands.
He used the money and silk gifts to marry a beautiful young woman in Chang 'an. Most of them abandoned it after a year of marriage and found new lovers.
All the money given by the emperor is spent on women. Half the courtiers around the emperor called him "crazy".
Emperor Wu listened and said, "If Dong Fangshuo is not an official, how can you compare with him?" Dong Fangshuo recommended his son to be a Langguan, and he was promoted to be a courtier among the attendants. He often places orders and travels. One day, Dong Fangshuo passed by the temple, and Lang Guan said to him, "People think Mr. Wang is crazy."
Dong Fangshuo said, "People like me are so-called hermits in the imperial court. People in ancient times lived in seclusion in the mountains. "
He often sits at banquets and drinks happily, then climbs on the ground and sings, "Living in seclusion, avoiding the world in the Golden Horse Gate. You can save yourself in seclusion in the palace. Why do you live in seclusion in a mountain hut? "
The so-called Golden Horse Gate is the gate of the official department, and there are bronze horses beside the gate, so it is called "Golden Horse Gate". At that time, the imperial court summoned doctors and gentlemen from Gong Xue to participate in the discussion. Everyone booed Dong Fangshuo and said, "Su Qin and Zhang Yi happened to meet the monarch of a big country. They can live in the position of your prime minister, and their kindness will be passed down to future generations.
Now, your old gentleman is studying the alchemy of former Wang Zhiguo, and he is advocating the truth that saints set up the world, and he is familiar with the comments of hundreds of poets, so he can't list them one by one. He wrote another article, arguing that a Chinese Odyssey is well-informed and extremely clever before arguing.
However, you have tried your best to serve Emperor Ming Sheng faithfully for decades. The official title is just an assistant minister, and the position is just a guard. So you haven't shown enough? What is the reason? Dong Fangshuo said, "This is not something you can fully understand. At that time, it was one era, and now it is another. How can it be compared? In the era of Yi Cheung and Su Qin, the Zhou Dynasty was already in decline. Instead of appearing before the Emperor of Zhou, the vassals seized power by force and invaded each other by military means. The world merged into twelve vassal States with equal strength. He who gains a scholar is strong, and he who loses a scholar dies. Therefore, they obeyed the orders of the scholars, making them occupy high positions, and future generations enjoyed prosperity for a long time.
This is not the case now. The wise emperor is in charge of the world's political affairs, and the princes are obedient and majestic, connecting the territory outside the four seas into a paradise like a table, which is more stable than an upside-down plate and the world is unified. Every movement is as simple as turning in the palm of your hand.
What makes you distinguish between virtuous and not virtuous? Nowadays, due to the breadth of the world and the number of scholars, countless people have tried their best to lobby, just like the spokes gathered in the automobile hub, competing to gather in the capital to make suggestions for the court. Although they strongly advocate morality, they are still trapped by food and clothing, and some even can't find a way to enter the body.
If Zhang Yi, Su Qin and I were born together in today's era, how can they expect to be permanent assistants if they can't even get a small official in charge of stories about the old system and old cases? The ancient book says:' There is no disaster in the world, even if there are saints, there is no place to display their talents; Even if there are wise men, there is no place to make achievements. "Therefore, in different times, things will change accordingly.
However, how can you not cultivate yourself? "Poetry" says, "Ring the bell in the palace, and the sound can spread to the outside." Cranes are singing in the distant depths of Shui Ze, and their voices can reach the sky.
If you can cultivate yourself, you still worry about what you won't get glory! Qi Taigong personally practiced benevolence and righteousness for 72 years, and it was not until he met Zhou Wenwang that he was able to carry out his ideas and sealed them in Qi, and his thoughts remained unchanged for 700 years. This is why scholars work tirelessly day and night, study knowledge and publicize their ideas, but they dare not stop.
Nowadays, the hermit in the world, though not a temporary job, can be detached and independent, be independent, look at Xu You from a distance, look at Jieyu from a close distance, be resourceful as Fan Li, be more loyal than Wu Zixu, be at peace in the world, cultivate one's morality and be self-sustaining, but have few friends. This is a very common thing. Why do you doubt me? "So the gentlemen answered without saying a word.
In the double railings of Zhang Jian Palace's back pavilion, an animal ran out, shaped like an elk. The news reached the palace, and Emperor Wu went to watch it himself.
Ask people around you who are familiar with things and know the classics. No one can know what animal it is. I sent a letter to Dong Fangshuo to read.
Dong Fangshuo said, "I know about it. Please give me a good wine and a good meal before I say it. " Emperor Wu said, "Yes."
After dinner, Dong Fangshuo said, "There are public fields, fish ponds and reed ponds somewhere. I won't say anything unless your majesty gives them to me." Emperor Wu said, "Yes."
So I am willing to say, "This is an animal called Fang. Something came to surrender in the distance, and the fangs appeared first.
Its teeth are the same before and after, the same size, and there are no big teeth, so they are called fangs. "Later, after a year or so, the Huns mixed evil king really led one hundred thousand people to the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu gave Dong Fangshuo a lot of money. In old age.
On his deathbed, Dong Fangshuo exhorted Emperor Wu to say, "The Book of Songs says,' Flies fly around and land on the fence. A kind gentleman, don't listen to gossip.
There is no end to slander, and the neighboring countries in the Quartet will not be at peace. I hope your majesty will stay away from flatterers and repel their slanders. "
Emperor Wu said, "Looking back at Dong Fangshuo now, it's just.
2. I urgently need to translate Dong Fangshuo's "Stealing Wine and Drinking". Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once went to Ganquan Palace and saw a red bug on the road. The leader has teeth, ears and nose, and his followers don't know what they are. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called Dong Fangshuo and asked him to identify him. Dong Fangshuo replied, "This insect has a strange name. Once upon a time, innocent people were detained by the Qin dynasty, and ordinary people were full of sorrow. They looked up and sighed, "How strange! Strange! " The sigh of the people touched the heaven, and the heaven was angry, so this bug was born, and its name was' strange'. This place must be the prison site of the Qin Dynasty. "The emperor wudi call a person to check the map, it happens. "The emperor asked how to get rid of this bug? Dong Fangshuo replied, "Any trouble will be solved by wine, so if you give this bug wine, it will die." . "Emperor Wudi asked people to put the worms in the wine. After a while, the worms really dispersed.
The word "strange" in Dong Fangshuo dialect has a deeper meaning: to persuade Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to be kind to the people.
3. The classical Chinese "Dong Fangshuo remonstrated with Emperor Wu" means: there is a god in Junshan, and there is a road under the mountain, which is connected with Wu Baoshan. There are several fights of wine in the world, and the drinker will not die. On the seventh day of fasting, Emperor ② sent Luan Bin ③ to take dozens of men and women to Junshan to get wine. Want to drink it, Dong Fangshuo said, "I know this wine, please have a look." Because even if you drink. The emperor wanted to kill it, and the new moon said, "If you kill the new moon, you won't take the exam;" If it has a test, it won't die. " The emperor forgave it.
(According to "Magnolia Taiping")
To annotate ...
Junshan: An island in Dongting Lake.
Emperor: This refers to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
3 Luan Bin: First name.

There are immortals on Junshan Mountain, and there is an underground passage under the mountain that leads to Wubaoshan Mountain. Legend has it that there are many fine wines on Wubaoshan Mountain, and those who can drink them will live forever. After seven days of fasting, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Luan Bin and dozens of men and women to Junshan and found the wine of immortality. When he wanted to drink, Dong Fangshuo said, "I can identify the authenticity of this wine. Please let me identify it. " Then I drank the wine in one gulp. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very angry and wanted to kill Dong Fangshuo. Dong Fangshuo said: "If you kill me, it means that this wine doesn't work; You can't kill me if this wine is immortal. " Hearing Dong Fangshuo's words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that he was too superstitious and let Dong Fangshuo go.

Read the text, please tell me what kind of person Dong Fangshuo is.
Dong Fangshuo is a brilliant man. His intention is to persuade Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty to abandon superstition. If you persuade him positively, you will definitely offend the dragon's face. He skillfully used the logical paradox between "committing a capital crime" and "drinkers will not die" to make things simple.
4. Dong Fangshuo's classical Chinese translation of cutting meat is Manqian, a Tzu Chi native in Pingyuan, Dong Fangshuo. . . After a long time, on a dog's day, Emperor Wu ordered all the people to get meat. Everyone came, but the meat officer was late. After waiting for a long time, Dong Fangshuo drew his sword and cut a piece of meat himself. He said to everyone, "Meat is perishable in dog days. Let's cut it off and take it back!" I went home with meat in my hand.
The next day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Dong Fangshuo, "Yesterday, I gave you meat. Why did you cut the meat and go home without waiting for the imperial edict? Why? " Dong Fangshuo took off his hat and apologized. Emperor Wu said, "Get up, sir, and talk about your sin yourself!" Dong Fangshuo worshipped the ceremony, stood up and said:
Dong Fangshuo, Dong Fangshuo!
Why are you so rude when people don't believe you when they give you gifts?
Pull out your sword and cut the meat. Why are you so reckless?
I just want to cut a piece. Why are you so frugal?
Why is it so kind to go home and pay attention to your wife and children?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said, "I want you to criticize yourself, but praise yourself!" " "I also gave him a stone of wine and one hundred jins of meat, and told him to go home to find his wife.
5. Dong Fangshuo rescued his mother. Emperor Wu's wet nurse once committed a crime outside. Emperor Wu will be punished according to law, and the wet nurse will go to Dong Fangshuo for help. Dong Fangshuo said: "The emperor was cruel and stubborn. Others begged for help, but he died faster. When you are dying, don't talk, just look back at the emperor again and again, and I will try to provoke him. " When the wet nurse came in to say goodbye, Dong Fangshuo also accompanied the emperor, and the wet nurse also frequently reviewed Emperor Wu as Dong Fangshuo said. Next to the emperor said, "why don't you leave quickly!" Now that the emperor has grown up, will he still think of you when he is nursing? " Although Emperor Wu was headstrong and hard-hearted, he could not help but feel nostalgic, so he took pity on the wet nurse and immediately ordered her to leave.
6. Dong Fangshuo remonstrated with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Original text: Junshan is closely connected with Baoshan, Wu Zhi, where there are several buckets of fine wine to keep drinkers from dying.
On the seventh day of fasting, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent dozens of men and women to Junshan, where they got wine and wanted to drink. Dong Fangshuo said, "I know this wine. Please have a look." Because one drink is finished.
When the emperor wanted to kill it, Shuo Nai said, "Kill Shuo and you will die. This is not a test. There is a test, killing is not dead. "
This is excusable. Jundao Mountain has an underground passage to Wu Baoshan. Legend has it that there are several barrels of wine on the mountain of Wu Baoshan, which can make you live forever. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fasted for seven days and sent dozens of men and women to Junshan to get wine. Just as he wanted to drink, Dong Fangshuo said, "I know this kind of wine. Please let me have a look."
So I drank it all at once. Emperor Wu wanted to kill him, and Dong Fangshuo said, "Your Majesty killed me. If I die, this wine will be useless. If I really can't die if I drink it, then your majesty can't die if he wants to kill the princes. "
(Emperor Wu) then pardoned him.
