"Guan Cang Hai"
It was written when Cao Cao climbed to Jieshi Mountain on his way to the Jieshi Mountain in September of the 12th year of Jian'an (207) when he conquered Wuhuan and destroyed the remaining troops of Yuan Shao. This four-character poem depicts the majesty of the motherland’s rivers and mountains based on the natural scenery that the poet saw when he climbed a mountain and looked at the sea. It not only depicts the moving image of the mountains and the sea, but also expresses the poet’s heroic and optimistic enterprising spirit. It is the best description of natural scenery in the Jian’an era. The famous poem is also one of the earliest famous works in my country's classical landscape poetry.
Viewing the Sea Eastern Han Dynasty (Cao Cao, also known as Mengde) was a statesman, military strategist and poet. He faced Jieshi in the east to view the sea. Where is the water? The mountains and islands are standing tall. There are many trees and lush grass. The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising. The movement of the sun and the moon can only appear within it; the brilliant stars can only appear within it. Fortunately, even singing praises one's aspirations.
Translation
Go eastward and climb Jieshi Mountain to view the sea. The sea is so wide and mighty, and the mountain islands stand high on the seashore. There are clumps of trees everywhere, and all kinds of grass grow very luxuriantly. The trees were blown by the wind and made a rustling sound, and huge waves surged on the sea. The movements of the sun and moon seem to originate from this vast ocean. The stars of the Milky Way are brilliant, as if they were produced from this vast ocean. I'm so happy, let's use poetry to express my feelings.

On January 16, the Nautilus seemed to fall asleep only a few meters below sea level. The electric instruments stopped, the propellers stopped turning, and the Nautilus drifted with the waves. I imagine the crew was busy with internal repairs, as the machine needed to be refurbished after the violent revving. At this moment, my companions and I witnessed a strange sight. The living room window panels were open. Because the Nautilus's lights were not turned on, the water was dark. A storm was coming, dark clouds filled the sky, and only a few faint rays of light illuminated the water layer close to the sea surface. I was looking at the ocean in this condition, and even the largest fish looked like blurry shadows. Suddenly, the Nautilus was illuminated. At first, I thought it was the ship's lights that were turned on, shining electric light into the clear water. I was wrong, I took a quick look and admitted I was wrong. The Nautilus was floating in a layer of phosphorescent water, which was particularly dazzling because of the darkness of the water. The light comes from countless tiny luminous creatures, passing through the metal hull and becoming more dazzling. I suddenly saw a few flashes of light in the shiny water layer, like the flow of molten lead in a hot furnace, or like a piece of metal heated to a white-hot state. In contrast, in this fiery red environment where there seems to be no dark parts, some places in the luminous water layer appear dark. No, this is no longer the light emitted quietly by our ordinary illuminators! This light has an unusual vitality and movement! I feel energized by this light! Yes, this is a collection of countless marine ciliates and noctiluca. They are some real small spheres of translucent gelatin, each with a filamentous tentacle. In 30 cubic centimeters of seawater, the number of these tiny creatures can even be as high as 25,000. Combined with the shimmering light from bowl jellyfish, sea jellyfish, moon jellyfish, sea bamboo shoots and other phosphorescent phytozoans, the seawater is awash with light. The phytozoans were filled with a decoy of decaying organic matter from the ocean, and perhaps mucus secreted by fish. For several hours the Nautilus drifted in the bright water. We were even more amazed to see the huge sea creatures frolicking there like salamanders in the fire. I discovered in the light of this non-scalding fire the beautiful and agile porpoise, the tireless clown of the ocean; and the three-meter-long sailfish, the clever forecaster of storms, whose formidable sword-like upper jaws sometimes strike Living room glass windows. Later, smaller fish appeared, including various types of puffer fish, jumping mackerel, wolfnose fish, and hundreds of other fish species. They swam around and marked this glittering world. stripes.
This dazzling sight is truly a mesmerizing spectacle! Are there certain climatic conditions that add to the allure of this phenomenon? Has a storm come to the sea? However, the Nautilus was located a few meters below the sea level and could not feel its power at all, swaying leisurely in the calm water.

Squirrel
Author: Buffon (a famous French naturalist writer in the 18th century/author of 36 volumes of "Natural History"). Time of writing: 40 years - excerpted from the first volume of the 5th grade of People's Education)
Squirrels are beautiful little animals, docile, well-behaved, and very lovable. They have delicate faces, sparkling eyes, and strong bodies. , has brisk limbs, is very agile, and is very alert. Its exquisite little face is especially beautiful with a beautiful tassel-shaped tail; the tail is always raised up to the head, and the body hides under the tail to rest. They often sit upright and use their front paws to feed food like people do with their hands. It can be said that squirrels are the least like four-legged animals. They do not hide underground and often move at high places. They live in trees like birds, running around in the woods, jumping from tree to tree. They make nests in trees, pick fruits, and drink dew. Only when the trees are blown too hard by the wind do they come to the ground. Come. You can't find squirrels in the fields or plains. They never come close to people's houses, and they don't stay in small bushes. They only like big trees and live on tall trees in the clear summer. At night, you can hear the sounds of squirrels jumping and chirping in the trees. They seem to be afraid of the strong sunlight. They hide in their nests to cool off during the day and come out to practice running, playing and eating at night. Although they also catch birds. Sparrows are not carnivores and often eat almonds, hazelnuts, beech nuts and oak chestnuts. Some people say that when squirrels cross water, they use a piece of bark as a boat and their tail as a sail. Squirrels are not dormant like mountain rats. They are very alert. As long as someone touches the roots of a tree, they will run out of their nests and hide under branches or escape to other places. Go up the tree. Squirrels run and jump very briskly. They always move forward with small jumps, sometimes even jumping. Their claws are so sharp and their movements are so agile. They climbed up a tall smooth tree in an instant. The squirrel's cry is very loud, even shriller than the weasel's cry. If someone offends them, they will also make an unhappy and hateful sound. Squirrels' nests are usually built in the branches of branches, which are clean and warm. When they build a nest, they first move some small pieces of wood, mix them together, and then plait them with some dry moss; then they squeeze the moss tightly and flatten it to make the building wide and solid, and they can live with their children. Inside, it's comfortable and safe. The mouth of the nest faces upward, is upright, and is very narrow, barely able to go in and out. There is a conical cover on the mouth of the nest, which covers the entire nest and allows rainwater to flow around and prevent it from falling in the nest. Squirrels usually give birth to three or four in a litter. The squirrel's fur is gray-brown. It sheds its fur after winter, and the new fur is darker than the shed fur. They use their claws and teeth to comb the fur all over their bodies, and their bodies are always smooth and clean. Squirrels belong to the genus Squirrel in the animal classification of the order Squirrel, suborder Squirrel, and family Squiridae. They are usually medium-sized and are typical animals found in coniferous and mixed forests in cold temperate zones. The limbs are strong, the toes have sharp claws, and the claw ends are hook-shaped. The weight is usually about 350 grams. Female individuals are slightly heavier than male individuals. The squirrel has a slender and light body, with a body length of about 18-26 cm. It has a long and thick tail, which is more than two-thirds of the body length, but less than the body length. Squirrels have a wide distribution and can be found throughout boreal forest areas. In my country, it is mainly distributed in the mountainous areas of the three northeastern provinces, northeastern Inner Mongolia, Hebei and northern Shanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Xinjiang and other provinces and regions; abroad, it is distributed from the Far East of Russia, Japan, North Korea, northern Mongolia, and westward to Western Europe.
In coniferous forests, there are not many squirrels every year. Their number depends on the number of conifer seeds in winter; because their food is mainly plant seeds and fruits, and seeds sometimes account for more than 95%; However, spruce seeds are not harvested every year. In years when the pine cone harvest is poor, squirrels will move to places with more food to forage; and in years when food is abundant, they will reproduce in large numbers. Squirrels are a typical arboreal rat species that inhabit mountainous coniferous forests and coniferous-broadleaf mixed forests. They use branches, moss and feathers as nesting materials and build nests among the branches. The nest is round in shape, with the exit opening on the leeward side, but some live in tree caves, and some are repaired from old large bird's nests. Squirrels can make several nests each year, divided into main and auxiliary nests. The auxiliary nest is used for temporary rest. Male rats rarely build nests and mostly use old nests. Squirrels mainly eat plant food, but also eat insects and their larvae, ant eggs, bird eggs and other animals. However, their main food is seeds from coniferous forests such as larch. In summer, they eat more berries and mushrooms; When food is scarce, they also eat tree buds. They are active during the day and are most active in the early morning. They are not winter-eyed, but their activities decrease in winter. In the cold winter, they rarely leave the nest. About the author Georges Louis Leclere de Buffon (1707-1788) was a French naturalist and writer who was born into a noble family in the city of Montbar. He received church education since he was a child and loves natural science. As a teenager, Buffon studied law at the behest of his father. He entered the French Academy of Sciences at the age of 26, later served as director of the Royal Garden (Botanical Garden), and was accepted as an academician by the French Academy. Buffon wrote the masterpiece of natural history, Historia Naturalis. A set of 36 volumes of "Natural History" published by Buffon between 1749 and 1788. The book includes "History of the Formation of the Earth", "History of Animals", "History of Mankind", "History of Birds", "History of Reptiles", etc. This is a popular work explaining the origin of the earth and living things. The book has a total of 44 volumes, the first 36 volumes were completed during Buffon's lifetime, and the last 8 volumes were compiled and published by his students in 1804. The first volume of "Natural History" was officially published in 1749. The book "The Theory of the Earth" puts forward the hypothesis of the formation of the earth, which believes that the earth is a block separated by the collision of the sun and a comet, and gradually cooled. A squirrel ran into our house. Our house is next to a forest. A squirrel came into our house and quickly became familiar with us. It ran around the house all day long, jumping up and down on cupboards and shelves, with amazing dexterity, and never touched anything. In my father's study, there is a pair of large antlers picked up from the forest hanging. Squirrels often jump on it and squat as if on a branch. It loves sweets and often jumps on our shoulders to ask for sweets. One time, the sugar cubes disappeared from the sideboard. My mother called us children to ask, but none of us knew. Dad said we were dishonest and we were not allowed to eat sweets for a week. The squirrel, like us, went a week without any sugar. Sometimes, the squirrel jumps on my shoulder, rubs my face with its small mouth, and gently bites my ears. I think it wants to eat candy again. But where can I find it? One day, after lunch, I was sitting quietly on the sofa reading a book. Suddenly, I saw the squirrel jump on the dining table, pick up a piece of bread crust, and jump on the top of the large cabinet. After a while, it came and took another piece. I stepped on the chair and looked at the top of the big cabinet. There was one of my mother's hats. I picked up the hat and was surprised - there was everything under the hat! Sugar cubes, paper-wrapped sugar, bread crusts and various small bones... I immediately ran and told my father: "It turns out that the squirrel is the dishonest child in our family!" Dad laughed and said: "Why didn't I think of this! Our squirrels are storing winter food. Squirrels in the forest will start to store winter food in autumn. This is the nature of squirrels, and our squirrels are naturally not far behind!" Dad I installed a small hook on the sideboard door to prevent squirrels from getting in. But the squirrels continue to do everything possible to store winter food. As soon as I see bread crusts, hazelnuts, walnuts, small bones, etc., I immediately take them away and hide them. One day, we went to the forest to pick mushrooms. When we got home, we were so tired that we had a hasty meal and then went to bed. A basket full of mushrooms was placed on the windowsill - it was cooler there and would not spoil overnight. The next morning we were surprised to find the basket empty. Where have all the mushrooms gone? Dad suddenly exclaimed in the study: "Come and see!" We ran over and what we saw in front of us was really dumbfounding: the antlers on the wall were covered with mushrooms; not only the antlers, but also the shelf with hand towels and the mirror Behind and on top of the painting, there are mushrooms everywhere. It turned out that the squirrel got up early and worked all morning to dry all the mushrooms. It wants to be dried and kept for the winter. In autumn, when the sun is still shining warmly on the earth, squirrels in the forest always hang mushrooms high on the branches to dry. Our squirrels did the same thing. After some days, the weather got really cold. Squirrels try to hide in warmer places. One day, it simply disappeared and could not be found anywhere. Maybe it went into the garden or the forest? Our hearts are empty. It's too cold, we have to light the stove. We closed the vents, put on firewood, and lit a fire. Suddenly I heard something rustling in the stove.
We hurriedly opened the vent, and saw the squirrel jump out of it like a particle bullet, and jumped onto the top of the large cabinet. The smoke from the stove went straight into the house, but there was no smoke at the chimney. How is this going? My brother made a big hook with thick wire and stuck it into the chimney from the vent. As a result, my brother took out a glove from the chimney and the scarf that grandma was only willing to wear during the holidays. It turned out that the squirrel took these things into the chimney to make its own nest. Alas, it came from the forest and lived in our house, still retaining its old habits. Its nature is such that it is useless to tell it that it will not get cold if it lives in our house. Author information Skrebitsky (1868---1936), formerly known as Alexey Maximovich Pishkov, was a proletarian writer in the former Soviet Union and the founder of socialist realist literature. Lenin said that he was "the most outstanding representative of proletarian literature", a mentor of proletarian revolutionary literature, and the founder of Soviet literature. Born on March 28, 1868 in Nizhny Novgorod on the Volga River in Russia. He was born in poverty and lost his father when he was young. At the age of 11, he was running around the society to make a living, working as a stevedore and bakery worker. The slums and docks became his "social" university classroom. He shared the fate of society with the working people, and personally experienced the cruel exploitation and oppression of capitalism. This had an important influence on his thought and creative development.
Tibetan antelopes kneel down
There is a kind of emotion in this world called family affection, which is the most common but the most precious. Through the pleading tears in our eyes, apart from feeling sorry for the Tibetan antelope, do we feel a little ashamed of ourselves? What else can be as precious as the love of a loving mother? Is there anything more worthy of our cherishment than the love of a loving mother? The Tibetan antelope has feelings. Although it cannot be described in words, it knelt down to pray to people to let it live. However, the female Tibetan antelope did not escape death after all. Yes, "The kneeling of all loving mothers in the world, including animals, is sacred." This is true for animals, but what about humans? Remember the kneeling of the Tibetan antelope and two lines of helpless tears. Cherish the most common but precious emotion in the world. The Tibetan antelope mother is willing to risk her life to beg the hunter for her life

This is what I heard Tibetan Stories. The story took place many years ago, but every time I drive through the no-man's land in northern Tibet, I can't help but think of the protagonist of this story - the Tibetan mother who condenses maternal love into a deep kneel. antelope. At that time, shooting and arresting wild animals were not punishable by law. Even today, the sound of gunfire in Hoh Xil still brings the lingering sound of crime to the corners that are difficult to reach by the patrol guards of the nature reserve. Tibetan antelopes, wild horses, wild donkeys, snow chickens, yellow sheep, etc. are now very rare. At that time, people who often traveled to northern Tibet would always see an old hunter with long hair draped over his shoulders, a thick beard, and long Tibetan boots operating near the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. The twig gun that was polished and shiny hung sideways on his body, and the two Tibetan cattle behind him were carrying heavy loads of various prey. He has no name or surname, and travels far and wide, heading to other places to hide in the snow in the north, and staying at the source of rivers at night. When he is hungry, he cooks yellow mutton over a large fire, and when he is thirsty, he has a bowl of ice and snow water. The hunted skins will naturally be sold for a sum of money. In addition to consuming part of it for himself, he also used it to relieve pilgrims on the road. Those Tibetans who prostrate themselves to Lhasa for the Hajj are willing to walk a long road full of difficulties and dangers. Every time when the old hunter rescues them, he always wishes with tears: God bless them, and everything will be safe. Killing and charity always existed in the old hunter, and it was after such an incident happened that prompted him to put down the spear in his hand - it should be said that that day was a very blessed day for him. Early in the morning, he came out of the tent. , stretched himself, and was about to drink a copper bowl of butter tea, when he suddenly saw a fat and strong Tibetan antelope standing on the grassy slope two steps away. After sleeping all night, he immediately felt a refreshing energy surge through his body. Without any hesitation, he turned back to the tent and got a fork gun. He raised the gun and took aim. Strangely, the fat antelope did not escape. , just looked at him with pleading eyes, then took two steps towards him, plopped down on its knees with its two front legs, and at the same time saw two long lines of tears flowing from its eyes. The old hunter's heart softened, and his hand on the trigger couldn't help but relax a little. There is a popular saying in Tibetan areas that is known to both young and old: "Birds flying in the sky and rats running on the ground are all human." At this time, the Tibetan antelope Kneel down for him, naturally, to beg for his life. He is a hunter, and it is reasonable not to be moved by the compassion of the Tibetan antelope. As soon as he closed his eyes, the trigger moved under his finger, the gunshot rang out, and the Tibetan antelope fell. It fell to the ground, still in a kneeling position, and two lines of tears clearly remained in its eyes. That day, the old hunter did not immediately disembowel and skin the Tibetan antelope that he had hunted. The Tibetan antelope that was kneeling before him always appeared in front of his eyes.
He felt something strange. Why did the Tibetan antelope kneel down? This was the only time he saw it in his decades of hunting career. He could not sleep for a long time while lying on the ground at night, his hands kept shaking... The next day, the old hunter disembowelled the Tibetan antelope with uneasiness. His hand was still trembling, and his abdominal cavity was opened on the blade. He made a sound of surprise, and the butcher knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang... It turned out that in the uterus of the Tibetan antelope, there was a little Tibetan antelope lying quietly. Already formed, it is naturally dead. Only then did the old hunter understand why the Tibetan antelope was so fat and strong, and why it bent its heavy body and knelt down to him. It was begging the hunter to spare the life of its child! The kneeling of all loving mothers in the world, including animals, is sacred. The old hunter's disembowelment stopped halfway. That day, he did not go hunting. He dug a hole on the hillside and buried the Tibetan antelope and its unborn child. Buried at the same time was his fork gun... From then on, the old hunter disappeared on the northern Tibetan grasslands, and no one knew his whereabouts
Sun Quan encouraged learning
Wu Xia Amen selects a passage from Sima Guang's "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". It tells the historical story of Lü Meng, a famous general from Soochow during the Three Kingdoms period, who followed the advice of his master Sun Quan and studied.

Sun Quan said: "Do I just want you to study the classics and become a doctor? You should just read widely and understand the history. You said you have many things, but who has as many things as me? I often read books and I think I get a lot of benefits." "Lü Meng began to study as a teacher. When Lu Su came to Xunyang, Lu Su and Lu Meng discussed together. After hearing Lu Meng's opinion, Lu Su was very surprised and said: "With your current talents and strategies, you are no longer the Soochow Amen back then!" Lu Meng said: "After a few days of separation from an ambitious person, I have to wipe my eyes and look at him again. Why did my brother know about this so late?" Lu Su then bowed to Lu Meng's mother, became friends with Lu Meng, and said goodbye. .

The favored elephant
The elephant won favor in the court①. In less than an hour, the news spread in the forest. As usual, everyone started to guess ② this thing: it is not beautiful, it is not born smart! Its manner ③, its demeanor ④ - very annoying! It would be favored, and everyone would find it very strange. "If it had won the favor of the court because of its hairy tail," said the fox (its tail wagging gently), "I wouldn't think it was strange." "No, that's not the case. "My dear sister," interrupted the bear, "if it relied on the soles of its feet, I think we might find a good reason why people like it so much, but everyone knows that it has no soles." "Perhaps it was its tusks that enabled it to win?" Everyone heard the humble bull moo. "Perhaps they mistook its tusks for horns!" "How did it win their hearts and become so successful? Is there no one here who can tell you?" The donkey flapped its big ears and said, "I can see it at a glance. If it didn't have beautiful long ears, it would never have had such a good opportunity!"

The Mosquito and the Lion
The Mosquito and the Lion "The Mosquito and the Lion" comes from "Aesop's Fables" , short in length, strong in plot, vivid in language, and the main images portrayed are clear and prominent. The author humorously shows the war between the two people in the contest between the mosquito and the lion, and finally ends when the mosquito fails to be restrained by the spider. The author points out the moral in the final summary.
A mosquito flew to the lion and said, "I'm not afraid of you, and you're not much stronger than me. How strong are you? Do you scratch with your claws or bite with your teeth? Just these few Women can use it when fighting with men, but I'm much better than you. If you want, we might as well try it out." The mosquito blew its trumpet, rushed forward, and bit the hair around the lion's nose. The place. The lion was so angry that he scratched his own face with his claws, and finally asked for a truce. The mosquito defeated the lion, blew the trumpet, sang a song of victory, and flew around in the air, but unexpectedly got stuck in the spider's web. When the mosquito was about to be eaten, he lamented: "I have defeated the most powerful animal, but I was destroyed by this little spider." This story means that pride will not end well. Although some people have been defeated People who are stronger than themselves will also be defeated by people who are weaker than themselves.
