==================================================
Translation:
After fenglingdu, I took a bus, set off from Puban in the morning and stayed in Yanchi at night. Clouds cover the sun and the rain is fierce. Entering Shanxi from the east of the Yellow River is slightly different from the situation in Tongguan. The terrain is as narrow as a street and the road is as dangerous as a plank road. Yuan Yelin looked desolate and bleak, as if he were shrouded in a layer of fog. I heard the sad and bitter songs, and also vaguely heard the flute of Yang Shan, which caused the regret of Xiang embroidery.
At sunset, I came to the coffin of , the West Temple in Yuncheng, and saw his seven-foot coffin full of books. I pressed his desk and found that his suicide note to his mother was still there; The waiter brought from my hometown has left. Like Sima Xiangru, he had diabetes before his death, and it was difficult for him to recover for many years. Another example is Li Changgu's bitterness and nausea, which he regretted when he died. And the books he read at school, scattered on the desk. When he can't start writing, he still draws on books with his fingers. Like a cuckoo dying, still struggling and crying; The stork is dying, hope to keep strong wings; This is the person who abandons his life's career and lingers on his reputation behind him.
I miss you, your honor. You donated money to Huang Zhongze before he died, and you will help his elderly mother after he died. You also expressed the voice of a virtuous elder and wanted to print his legacy. Before and after a poor man's life, he can be taken care of so well from beginning to end. People who hear this noble behavior will be moved, and those who owe you will never forget it. If you want to return to the spirit of Mount Tai, you must look to the West to show your gratitude. Send the body back to the ranks of Luopu Mingjing and walk east with bitterness. Besides, when Gong Sheng died, old friends still came to visit him. Although Zhang died, he had friends who were close friends of life and death to attend the funeral. In the future, everyone will praise your noble friendship and encourage his orphans to carry forward this friendship and sacrifice for him. This is also an immortal thing.
Now I present his poems and four volumes of Yuefu. He and Liang Jisu usually have a friendship, but their opinions are often different. He once joked with me: "If I die unfortunately, after you decide, the collection will definitely go against my interests." Recalling his last words, I can't help crying. I dare not comment now, and send all the manuscripts to you. Please revise the final version with Shu and Dong Youshi. As far as his achievements are concerned, they have been handed down from generation to generation. Compared with the ancients, as a narrator, there is no shame. It's just that all his drafts are handwritten and there are no copies. After publication, he hopes to pay for his orphans as a permanent memory of his ancestors.
Ji Liang arrived in Tongguan on 19, and immediately drafted this letter in a hurry, so I won't say much.
==================================================
Huang Zhong, on the other hand, was a rather arrogant poet when he was in Qianlong. In the autumn of forty-five years of Qianlong (1780), famous literati such as Weng Fanggang and Wu Xilin organized a "Doumen Poetry Society" in Beijing, held a poetry meeting, and wrote poems on the theme of Autumn Rhyme. Faced with this poem written by ancient and modern poets thousands of times, it is difficult for these celebrities to write new ideas for a while. Someone handed in a paper, but everyone shook their heads when they saw it. So someone threw a pen and sighed: "Look at me, we are Jiang Lang!" At this time, Huang Zhong, who was 3 1 year-old, had written three "Seven Laws of Dumen's Autumn Thoughts". One of them said, "Four years of writing in Yanjing and the stagnation of sword and finger are more worthy of Qiu Lai's mixed feelings. Who extended Guo Kui in class? There is no place to visit Jing Qing in this city. Yunfu Wan Li is sad, and the wind sends a thousand-year double sign. I want to sing, but I can't find a life. " Poetic hero, amazing. However, such a talented poet was so poor that he was forced to return to Changzhou, his hometown in the big city of Beijing. Later, Shaanxi Governor Bi Yuan read his "Doumen Qiu Si" and enjoyed it very much. He specially sent someone to send five hundred and twenty pieces of silver and invited him to Shaanxi. When I arrived in Shaanxi, I was not born in the imperial examination, so I couldn't hold a real official position, and soon I went to Beijing. Too poor to live in Beijing, Yu Qianlong left Beijing in forty-eight years (1783), went to Shanxi, and then went to Shaanxi to go to Biyuan. Who knows, I went to Yuncheng, suddenly became seriously ill, and lost my doctor on the journey. I couldn't afford to get sick. I was thirty-four years old that year. Hong is a good friend. At that time, in Biyuan, he heard the bad news and hurried through the customs to Yuncheng to arrange Huang Zhongze's funeral. Go home and report to Bi Yuan.
The letter began with a hasty trip. The new death of a good friend made me sad. But the author did not write this kind of mood in isolation, but expressed his sadness by describing the scenery along the way, and expressed his mood with emotion and scenery.
Then write about the funeral. This passage generally does not tell a story, but closely combines the handling of funeral with the memory, evaluation and mourning of close friends. Huang zhong, however, was poor, weak and rich all his life, but he devoted himself to poetry creation and kept improving. Hong once lived with him and said that he "wrote poetry at night until the water ran out." Every time I get an article, I will happily sit on the sofa and read it, so that I can count it all in one night, or I can't sleep until dawn, but you are tireless. "Writing poetry so hard, will naturally damage the body. The letter said: "Covering an elephant is like a sick lung, and it is difficult to recover for several months; "Hasegawa hates it and regrets it all his life." This is not only a praise for Huang Zhongze's hard work in poetry, but also a euphemism for his indifference to his health. If you work so hard to write poetry on weekdays, you will definitely attach great importance to your own poetry when you die, so the letter said: "The cuckoo wants to blend, but it is still vibrating; Storks will die, hoping to stay strong.
Because Huang Zhongze regards his poetry creation as a "lifelong event" in his life, it is a great event to deal with his collection of posthumous works after his death. When the author wrote here, he naturally asked Bi Yuan to publish the manuscript for Huang Zhongze.
This letter is sincere, appropriate and vivid, from which we can learn not only how to write, but also how to make friends.
