Translation and Appreciation of You Maoyuan's Works

You Mao (má o) (1127-1202), with a long word and a long fine print season, was a layman at first and was named Lexi and Mushi Laoyimin in his later years. Famous poet, minister and bibliophile in Southern Song Dynasty. My grandfather is especially deep, and my father is especially good at studying history and poetry. In the eighteenth year of Shaoxing (1 148), you Mao was a scholar. It turned out to be Taixing order. Filial piety, due to a large number of incorruptible, tired to move to Shao Qing, right assistant minister of does, and study national history, once right to write a book, do straight bachelor. Guangzong dynasty served Huan as a servant and gave services to others, and later granted Li Shangshu as a servant. After his death, he was nicknamed "Wen Jian". You Mao, Yang Wanli, Fan Chengda and Lu You are also called "the four great poets of Southern Song Dynasty". The original "Liang Ji" has 50 volumes and has long been lost. The Legacy of Liang compiled by You Dong in Qing Dynasty has two volumes, which were published at that time. You Mao's major literary achievements.

You Mao's achievement lies in his poetry creation. Fang Hui of Yuan Dynasty once said that the Southern Song Dynasty "rose from China, and poets must be called You, Yang, Fan and Lu". You Mao, Yang Wanli, Fan Chengda and Lu You are also called the four great poets in the Southern Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, a large number of poems, other works and more than 30,000 books by You Mao were all burned in a big fire. The fifty-nine poems he saw were collected from some local records and books by his descendant You Dong in Qing Dynasty. Judging from the ideological content of these existing poems, You Mao, like the three poets Lu, Yang and Fan, expressed dissatisfaction with the small court in the Southern Song Dynasty at that time and was very worried about the broken mountains and rivers and the oppression of the people by foreigners. For example, in the poem "Falling Plums", we can see the poet's anxiety about state affairs, as well as his resentment against the court in the Southern Song Dynasty, which did not think about recovery and was intoxicated with the crow: "On the east side of the bridge on the west side of Liangxi, the leaves are red. In the five-night guest sorrow flower film, the sound of spring affairs in a year. Where is the singer Yushu? Dance the broken song "Mountain Fragrance". But recalling the lonely mountain drunk, the horseshoe is fragrant with snow.

You Mao's poems are plain and natural, simple and fresh, without flowery words and allusions. Qingshan Temple is a masterpiece of his existing poems: "Towering pavilions stand tall, mountains and lakes outside the door are green, ripples are charming, and clouds and winds despise Penglai." The dragon is like a golden jade, and the rain exceeds the unicorn to refute the emerald moss. For 29 years, I know how much I have come back in my life. "

collect books

You Mao loved books all his life and has long been known as a bookcase. He has a keen interest in books. As long as he knows the title of any book he hasn't read, he will try his best to find it to read. After reading it, he not only takes notes, but also copies the borrowed books for collection. Yang Wanli once described his pleasure in copying books like this: "Every time he postponed, he closed the door and thanked the guests. He copied a batch of ancient books by hand every day, so did his children ... and his promised daughter also copied books. " Yang Wanli also told a story. He once presented his works "Collection of the Western Regions" and "Collection of the Sky" to You Mao. You Mao happily wrote a poem as a reward: "I went to heaven when I went back to the Western Regions, and my bag contained 600 articles. Hanging thorns are three times more expensive, and the luminous moon is very round. "

Because of Youmao's calm collection and collection of books, as well as his previous position as an editor and reader in the National History Museum, he had the opportunity to borrow books from the secret cabinet of the Third Hall of the Imperial Court, and he was able to copy more books that were difficult for ordinary people to see. Therefore, his collection of books is very rich, including rare books and rare books. His good friend Lu You once described his book collection as "a room full of different titles, and he leaned over and surrounded himself with a suicide note."

Take Sun Chuo's "Sui Chu Fu" and build a library called "Sui Chu Tang" at the foot of Jiulong Mountain, with a book plaque given by Song Guangzong. Everything is seen in the book, and everything is recorded in the book. Yang Wanli, a famous writer, wrote: "Every time we postpone, we must close the door and thank guests. Every day you will copy some ancient books by hand, your children will copy books, and your daughter will copy books. " He copied more than 3000 books in his life. He said: "I copied a batch of books today, and I want to collect them." When you are hungry, read it as meat; Cold reading is a good thing; Read alone as a friend; Read it when you are in trouble to turn it into a stone. " Books are hard to borrow, and new books haven't been touched. There are also collections such as West Road Bookstore and Wanjuanlou. There are more than 30,000 books, including rare books and rare books.

Young talents in life

1 127 (the second year of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty) was born in a scholarly family in Wuxi on February 14th. You Mao received family education from an early age. At the age of 5, he was a poet, and at the age of 65,438+00, he was known as a child prodigy. 65,438+05 years old, he is famous for his ci in Piling County (now Changzhou, Wuxi belongs to Piling).

County government reform

A.D. 1 148 (in the 18th year of Shaoxing), he was promoted to Jinshi (the original scholar was changed to top three 37 because he offended Qin Gui). Former Taixing county magistrate. At that time, the mountains and rivers in the Song Dynasty were broken and tilted to the south of the Yangtze River. Taixing is located in the border area of Southern Song Dynasty, and nomadic people often invade it. "The old outer cities of this county have been repeatedly destroyed by bandits." After you Mao came to power, he pleaded for the people and abolished exorbitant taxes; While leading the soldiers and civilians to renovate the city wall. In October of the 31st year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 16 1), nomadic people invaded south on a large scale, and Yangzhou, Zhou Zhen (now Yizheng) and other cities were all captured. Only Taixing took the city with the city. After the nomads from the North and South Huaihe River ravaged the area, Huainan people suffered numerous casualties and were displaced. In the poem "Song of Huaishan", You Mao described the tragic situation of Huainan people at that time: "Being displaced again, enduring hunger and cold again; Who says the world is wide and there is nothing to rely on? After the funeral in Huainan, the nest was not long, and the deceased accumulated like hemp. How many mouths can the living eat? The barren tree falls in the west, so why worry if you don't touch it? " .

Waizhi Taizhou

You Mao made great achievements in Taixing. Later, he was transferred to Beijing as a secretary, editor of the National History Institute and reviewer of records, and was promoted to a writer and a prince. 1 172 (eighth year of the southern song dynasty) In February of the lunar calendar, You Mao was expelled from the capital in the following winter and became the magistrate of Taizhou (now Linhai, Zhejiang) because some ministers opposed Xiaozong's appointment of our army. During his stay in Taizhou, You Mao reduced or exempted the taxes of 1 10,000 landless poor families, and continued to raise the wall which was well known by his predecessor. Later, when there was a flood in Taizhou, the city was not flooded because of the high and thick walls.

When Youmao made achievements in Taizhou, some treacherous people made false rumors and slandered him, which aroused Song Xiaozong's suspicion and sent people to secretly investigate Youmao. What the messenger heard in Taizhou was people's praise for your hair. He returned to Beijing and truthfully made a return, and copied four East Lake poems written by You Mao in Taizhou and presented them to Xiaozong. Two of them: "Yao Lin is boundless for three days, and it will only be clear after three days of drought." I have never said that it is difficult in a day, and it is particularly difficult to get to Taizhou in one day. All diseases and scars have to be touched a lot, but the official confession is still clumsy. Self-pity martingale won more than twice the frost. "Song Xiaozong admired Mao's diligent spirit of loving the people. Soon he was promoted to promote Changping in Huaidong (now Huaiyang area), and then transferred to Jiangdong (now Nanjing and Guangde area) to promote Changping.

Transshipment to Jiangxi

You Mao's tenure in Jiangdong coincided with the drought. He led the people in the struggle against disasters and tried his best to help the victims. Later, he was promoted to Jiangxi transshipment ambassador and Longxing (now Nanchang, Jiangxi) magistrate. In A.D. 1 182 (the ninth year of the Southern Song Dynasty), You Mao was called to the DPRK, and was awarded the position of Langguan in the official department and assistant to the Prince, and later he was promoted to the position of a Tang Dynasty envoy and Zuo Liangyu official. In court, he was outspoken and dared to protest. 1 183 (the decade of cherishing spring in the southern song dynasty) was a summer drought, and you Mao wrote to the emperor, mercilessly exposing the political darkness at that time. The book said: "Urging households is urgent, and farmers complain; Tariffs are harsh and business travelers complain; Scholar-officials have the resentment of dereliction of duty; Cut it, the foot soldiers have insufficient complaints; Refuse to pay tribute to the times, and people who have been in prison for a long time complain; It's not that you are short of money, but that tired people complain; * * * murder, Dortmund borrowed life, making the deceased complain; If a company buys it, not the price, the seller complains. " He asked Song Xiaozong to get rid of the malpractice in order to calm the people's grievances.

In October of the lunar calendar in A.D. 1 187 (the 14th year of Xichun in the Southern Song Dynasty), You Mao was appointed as the Taichang Shao Qing. He put forward many correct opinions on the court etiquette system and the use of talents, which was highly praised by Song Xiaozong. He served as assistant minister and fellow in the official etiquette department, and later as a calligrapher and straight bachelor's college in China. You Mao strongly recommended Lu You to succeed him, but Song Xiaozong disagreed.

Tough advice is useless.

Song Guangzong ascended the throne in February of the lunar calendar 1 189 (16th year of Southern Song Dynasty). After he acceded to the throne, You Mao repeatedly advised him to "learn from scratch" and warned him that "everything in the world is difficult at the beginning, and it will be irreversible afterwards". He was very worried about Song Guangzong's practice of appointing cronies and abusing his title immediately after he acceded to the throne. He quoted the story of an old man who didn't care about Qin after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, hoping to attract Song Guangzong's attention. However, Youmao's suggestion not only failed to impress Guangzong, but was slandered by some treacherous court officials, saying that he was a henchmen of Zhou Bida, who had retired. 1 190 (Shao xiyuan in the southern song dynasty), you Mao was expelled from Beijing again and became the magistrate of Wuzhou (now Jinhua in Zhejiang) and Taiping (now Dangtu in Anhui). Later, he was called to North Korea and became a painter. At this time, he also asked Guangzong to "sincerely do what he wants" and "vanity lies in his own benevolence", and repeatedly discouraged Emperor Song Guangzong from continuing to abuse the title. Song Guangzong can sometimes adopt Mao's suggestions, such as revoking certain decisions to promote his minister and so on. But sometimes he still sticks to his opinion and even loses his temper at Youmao's suggestion. On one occasion, Song Guangzong gave an important task to some officials who should not be promoted. Youmao's protest made Song Guangzong furious and immediately tore Youmao's newspaper to pieces.

Back in the game after retirement.

Youmaoshi Liangxi West Bank Xiaoqiao East. The fallen leaves are reflected in the water. In the five-night guest sorrow flower film, the sound of spring affairs in a year.

On the west side of Liangxi River, east of the small bridge. The fallen leaves are reflected in the water. In the five-night guest sorrow flower film, the sound of spring affairs in a year. Where the songs are ruined, the dance is not finished. However, I remember being drunk in a lonely mountain and the horseshoe snow lining the east wind. Two rows of fragrant pistils are in the shade of the stream. A smile is worth thousands of dollars. The forest was ablaze with fire and rosy clouds were shooting at Shui Ying. Xiao makeup is light and rouge is heavy, and spring is drunk. It is difficult to write a sentence from a high standard, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology should not always be sloppy. -Song Youmao's "Partridge (Haitang)" Partridge (Haitang)

Climb the ladder, climb the stairs, and take a nap to the dangerous building.

At first glance, the four mountains are cold and blue.

The vast space is like chasing a distant sign.

The dim light wiped the sick eyes, which increased the brightness. See more of your poems >>
