Classical Chinese picture books

1. A complete collection of classical Chinese stories

(1) Wen Zhengming's calligraphy "Shu Lin Chronicles" The original text was written by Wen Zhengming in the "Thousand Character Essay", and he wrote ten copies of it every day. Great progress.

I have been reading books all my life, and I have never been content with answering people's simple notes. I rarely pay attention to them, but I will never tire of changing them over and over again, so the older I get, the more sophisticated they become. The translator Wen Zhengming supervised the writing of "Wenwen", and he wrote ten copies a day as a standard, and his calligraphy improved rapidly.

He has never been careless about writing in his life. Sometimes when someone replies to a letter and it's a little bit incomplete, I must rewrite it over and over again without fear of trouble.

Therefore, his calligraphy becomes more exquisite and beautiful as he gets older. (2) Xue Tan Xueyue. The original text is that Xue Tan Xueyue was in Qin Qing. He thought that he had exhausted Qin Qing's skills, so he resigned and returned home.

Qin Qingfu stopped, walking on the suburban thoroughfare, singing sad songs at festivals, the sound vibrated the trees, and the sound stopped the moving clouds. Xue Tan wanted to rebel, but he never dared to return.

Translation Xue Tan learned singing from Qin Qing, but before he had finished learning Qin Qing's skills, he thought he had learned all he could, so he left and went home. Qin Qing did not dissuade him and bid him farewell on the road outside the city. Qin Qing beat the beat and sang a sad song.

The singing vibrated the trees, and the sound stopped the moving clouds. Xue Tan then apologized to Qin Qing and asked to come back to continue studying.

From then on, he never dared to say that he wanted to go home again. (3) Fan Zhongyan aspired to the world. Original text: Fan Zhongyan was orphaned at the age of two, and his family was poor and helpless.

He rarely has great ambitions. He always takes the world as his own responsibility and studies hard. Or he is lazy at night and often eats rice with water. He eats porridge while reading without food. ‖Since he was an official, he always spoke generously about world affairs without caring about his own life.

He was even slandered and demoted, and was relegated to Dengzhou by participating in political affairs. ‖Zhong Yan worked hard and worked hard, but his diet was not heavy on meat. His wife only had enough food and clothing.

I often recite to myself: "A scholar should worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness." Translation: Fan Zhongyan lost his father when he was two years old, and his family was poor and helpless.

He had great ambitions when he was young and often washed his head and face with cold water. I often couldn't even eat, so I ate porridge and kept studying.

After becoming an official, he often talked about world affairs, regardless of his own safety. So much so that some people were demoted for speaking ill of him, and were demoted from being the governor of Dengzhou to being the governor of Dengzhou.

Fan Zhongyan trained himself hard and did not eat much meat. He only provided for his wife and children's food and clothing by himself. He often recited two sentences from his works: "A scholar should worry before the world is worried, and be happy after the world is happy."

(4) Sima Guang's "Records of the Words and Deeds of Famous Officials of the Three Dynasties" by Sima Guang 》Original text When Sima Wen Gong was young, he was not as good as others when asking about his troubles. He lived in groups and taught. After all the brothers had finished reciting, they stopped wandering around. When he was alone, he finished the compilation and stopped reciting twice as many times. The person who exerts more force will achieve farther, and what he recites carefully will be remembered throughout his life.

Duke Wen once said: "You can't fail to recite the book, either on horseback or when you are up at night, you will gain a lot by chanting its words and thinking about its meaning." Poems and books are not as good as others in their ability to prepare responses.

Everyone studied and discussed together. The other brothers had already learned how to recite and went to play and rest. (Sima Guangque) studied hard alone, as focused and hard as Dong Zhongshu and Confucius when they were studying, until they were proficient. Until he recites it carefully, (because) he has more energy in reading now, the harvest will be long-term, and the books he has read and recited intensively will be remembered for the rest of his life. Sima Guang once said: "You can't read without memorizing. When you are riding a horse or walking, or when you can't sleep in the middle of the night, you can recite the article you have read and think about its meaning. You will gain a lot!" (5) Ouyang Xiu studied hard in " "Ouyang Gong's Deeds" Original text Ouyang Gong was orphaned at the age of four, and his family was poor and had no resources.

The lady painted the ground with grass and taught calligraphy. Recite more ancient passages.

It was a little long, and there was no book to read at home, so I borrowed it from the scholar's family in Lu and read it, or copied it, so that I forgot to sleep and eat day and night, only reading was my business. He has written poems and texts since he was a child, and he has written like an adult.

Translation Mr. Ouyang Xiu's father died when he was four years old. His family was poor and had no money for him to study. The wife used reed stalks to draw pictures on the sand and taught him to write.

He also taught him to recite many ancient chapters. When he got older and there were no books to read at home, he would go to nearby scholars' homes to borrow books and read them, and sometimes copy them.

In this way, I worked day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, just studying. From his childhood poems and poems, his writing has reached an adult level, which is so high.

(6) Zhang Wugu diligently studied "Helin Jade Dew" The original text Zhang Wuga was relegated to Hengpu and lived in Baojie Temple in the west of the city. His dormitory has a short window, and he holds a book under the window every day and reads in full view.

Fourteen years like this. Returning from the north, there are traces of the double folds on the stone under the window, which still remain to this day.

Translation: Zhang Jiucheng was demoted to Hengpu and lived in Jiesi Temple in the west of the city. The room he lived in had a short window. Every day at dawn, he would always stand under the window with a book and read in the faint morning light.

This has been going on for fourteen years. When he returned to the north, the traces of his feet were still faintly visible on the stone under the window.

(7) Wang Mian's night reading "Collected Works of Scholars of the Song Dynasty" at the Monastery. The original text is Wang Mianzhe, a native of Zhuji.

When he was seven or eight years old, his father ordered him to herd cattle on the mountain, sneak into the school building, and listen to the students reciting books. After listening, he memorized them silently.

Returning home in the evening, he forgot his cow and his father angrily bit him. It's back to its original state.

My mother said, "My son is so crazy, why won't he listen to what he does?" Mian Yin left and lived in a monk's temple. At night, he went out and sat on the Buddha's lap, held the plan and illuminated the long-lit lamp, and read it, and it was so clear that the whole day was over.

There are many earthen idols in the Buddha statues, they are ferocious and terrifying; Translation Wang Mian is from Zhuji County.

When he was seven or eight years old, his father asked him to herd cattle on the field. He secretly ran into the school to listen to the students reading. After listening to it, I always remember it silently.

When he returned home in the evening, he forgot all about the cattle grazing. Wang Mian's father was furious and beat Wang Mian.

Afterwards, he was still like this. His mother said: "This child wants to study so much, why not let him do it?" Wang Mian therefore left home and stayed in a temple.

As soon as night came, he walked out quietly, sat on the lap of the Buddha statue, held a book in his hand and read under the light of the lantern in front of the Buddha statue. The sound of the book continued until dawn. Most of the Buddha statues are made of clay, and their faces are ferocious and scary.

Although Wang Mian was a child, his expression was calm, as if he had not seen it. (8) Preface to Ma Sheng in Dongyang (Excerpt) Song Lian Original text When I was young, I was addicted to learning, and my family was poor, so I had no way to write a book and make insights. Every time I borrowed it from a book collector, I wrote it down by hand and counted the days to return it.

It is very cold, the inkstone is hard, and the fingers cannot be flexed or stretched, so do not be lazy. After recording, I went to see him off, not daring to exceed the appointment.

Therefore, many people spend their spare time reading books, and I have to read all the books. Not only do I admire the way of saints and sages, but I also worry that there are no great teachers, famous people and tourists, so I try to follow them hundreds of miles away. 2. Are there any shorter fables in ancient Chinese?

Notes on words

① Selected from "Lu Shi's Spring and Autumn Annals" 》. ②irrigation: taking water. ③Drill a well: dig a well.

Poetry translation

There was a family named Ding in the Song Dynasty. There was no well in the house and they had to go outside to get water, so there was always one person running around outside. Later, his family dug a well, so he said to people: "I dug a well, and there was one more person in the family." Someone heard this and spread the word to other people: "The Ding family dug a well. A man came out." So people all over the country rushed to spread this strange news. The news reached the king of Song Dynasty. The monarch sent people to Ding's house to inquire. The Ding family members replied: "We are saying that after digging the well, one more person's labor will be available, not that one person will be dug out of the well."

Inspiration: This story comes from the Ding family The penetration of the well leads to discrepancies in the rumors, which shows that rumors are easy to be false, and everything must be investigated personally, so as to understand the truth of the matter. 3.

They took turns like this two or three times. Song Dingbo said again: "I am a new ghost. I don't know what the ghost is afraid of?" The ghost replied: "It just doesn't like people's spit." So they walked away together. Encountering a river on the road, Song Dingbo asked the ghost to cross it first and listen, but there was no sound at all. Song Dingbo crossed over by himself, and the water made a splashing sound. The ghost asked again: "Why is there a sound?" Song Dingbo said: "I just died and became a ghost. I am not familiar with ghosts crossing water. Don't be surprised at me."

The ghost shouted loudly with a "yah" sound, asking to be let go and let him down, but Song Dingbo no longer listened to him. Song Dingbo didn't put the ghost down on the ground until he went to the market in Wan County. The ghost turned into a sheep, and Song Dingbo sold it.
