Classical Chinese translation by Gu Yanwu
Original text
Mr. Tinglin never let go of his books since he was a child. When he went out, he would take a mule and two horses to bundle the books with him. When he encountered a frontier fortress or a pavilion, he would call out. The old soldier went to the wine bar next to the road and sat across from him to drink. Ask about its customs and examine its area. If it is inconsistent with what you have heard in your life, send a letter to make it clear and correct, and there will be no doubts. If nothing happens immediately, just follow the Anmo scriptures and commentaries. If you meet an old friend who does not know you, you may fall off a cliff. After that, I have no regrets. I have worked hard to this point, and my achievements are vast and profound. Don’t compete with them.
Translation
Mr. Gu Yanwu (zi Tinglin) has never put down his books since he was a child (described as loving reading and diligent in studying). He always takes one or two thin horses with him when he goes out. Carrying a book on my back and following me. Sometimes when I get to the sentry boxes and fortresses at the frontier fortress (barriers, cities, pavilions, and firehouses are all military buildings used for garrison defense in ancient times, such as fortresses and frontier fortress sentry boxes), I find veterans to have a drink with me at a small hotel on the roadside. Ask about the local customs and geography. If he finds that it is inconsistent with what he has learned in the past, he will read the book and correct it in detail. He must not stop until there is no doubt. When he had free time while sitting on the horse, he would sit on the saddle and silently recite the Four Books and Five Classics and other classics and their commentaries. (The explanation of the classics is called "notes" or "shu".) Even if he met relatives and friends, he would not say hello (silent chanting) He is too immersed in the classics and does not notice other things). Sometimes he falls into the valley because of this (too focused on Zhu Anmo), but he does not regret it. He is serious and careful to this extent. His knowledge is profound and profound, no one can compare with him!
