Appreciation of Han Yu's Preface to Sending Wen to Heyang Army

Appreciation of Han Yu's Preface to Sending Wen to Heyang Army

As soon as Bole crossed the wilderness in northern Hebei, the horse was empty. There are many military forces in northern Hebei, and Bole is good at knowing horses, but can he clear away evil spirits? The commentator said, "When I say empty, I mean there are neither horses nor good horses. Bole knows horses, and when it is good, you need to lead them. There is no good one in the group. If you are unscrupulous, although there is no horse, it is not empty talk. "

East capital (1), solid north of Hebei scholar-officials (2) also. Those who rely on their own talents to hide in the depths of the city are called Wensheng in the north of Luo and Wensheng in the south. Wu Gong, a doctor, was in the town of Heyang in March, thinking that he was talented and took the ceremony as Luo (4), under the curtain; Within a few months, I took Vincent as my talent, so I took Shi Sheng as my medium and took it as a gift. Although Du Dong believes in many talented people, it takes one person out in the morning and one person out at night. Pretending to be Shou, He Nanyin, a deacon with a hundred thoughts, and a doctor in our two counties, there is no political connection, and things are suspicious. How can we discuss and get along? Who will play with the scholar-officials who go to him and the hutongs? After the boy was born, why did he ask about his occupation? Did what the gentry should do, that is, capital, and was rude to him. If so, he said, "Doctor Kung Fu is a town with rivers, but Chu Shi, the capital of the East, is deserted. Why not? "

If you listen to the world from the south, you will only listen to your ears. Is the son of heaven's people in the court, is the son of heaven's samurai in the background, seeking internal and external treatment but not. The more you are in this place, the less you can lead yourself, and the second generation will be old. Today, all powerful people have caught it. How can they be indifferent to evil {1 1}? When I was born, I paid homage at the gate of the army. That's what I said before, congratulations to the world, and what I said later caused personal antipathy to me. The fact that {12} is a poem with four rhymes, the more it is inferred, the more orderly it is.

① East Capital: Luoyang is the east capital of the Tang Dynasty. ② Northern Hebei: Northern Jizhou, that is, the area in northern Hebei Province today. (3) Fu (axe): the instruments of torture used by ancient military law to kill people, here refers to the power that the emperor gave us in this era to kill and seize. ④ Luo: A net for catching birds. Here is a metaphor for recruiting wise men. ⑤ Letter: Indeed. ⑥ Choose its essence. ⑦ He Nanyin: Chief Executive of Luoyang. Doctors in two counties: During the Tang Dynasty, Du Dong was in charge of Luoyang and Henan counties. Han Yu is an order from Henan, so it is a cloud to us. ⑧ Gentry: Also known as "Gentry", it was originally the costume of ancient high officials and also used as the agent of bureaucrats. 9 south: here refers to the emperor, and the ancient emperor sat facing south. Attending: Drive here. Department means working here. {1 1} Middle: upset. {12} Left-behind "xianggong": this refers to Zheng Yuqing. Xianggong refers to the prime minister.

Wen, a famous scholar, has been living in seclusion in the mountains. In the fifth year of Yuanhe (8 10), Wu, the special envoy of Heyang, visited the house many times and sincerely hired him to serve in the shogunate. Han Yu was moved by his thirst for talents, and he was glad that his friend was selected. He wrote this article to encourage his friends. Because of the relationship between events and characters, this article can be regarded as a companion of Chu Shi, but there is no similarity between the two articles, especially in writing, which complement each other.

The author of the article is ingenious, using "Bole crossing the northern wilderness of Hebei, Ma Kong" as a metaphor that "the doctor's martial arts is a town in Heyang, but there is no one in the east", praising Wu Hui for his eye for people and being good at recommending talents; He also used "personal resentment to take everything" to compare the rare and precious value of Wu Palace's "taking warriors for the son of heaven under the curtain", which is like "resentment" and more powerful than positive praise. In this paper, there is no direct talent for writing Wen Sheng, but the "bad" influence brought by Wen's official career is described in many ways, which shows his extraordinary talent and is very subtle and ingenious.

Marek's Theory is an article advocating the reuse of talents. However, the writing is different. Ma Shuo discusses the destruction of talents by rulers who can't admit talents, and satirizes the rulers at that time. This paper strongly praises Wu Gong's recognition and pity for talents, and discusses the importance of people who can recognize talents to talents. Both articles also say that there is no horse in the world, but Ma Shuo's "no horse" is an attack on the ruling class's incompetence and a satire on the rulers' ignorance. The "no horse" mentioned in "Preface to Sending Wen He Yang to the Army" emphasizes that the management of the imperial court should attract talents and attach great importance to it.

Lin Shu: "It is a cliche to send a stone essay to Zhuang, but if you are talking about Zhuang, make a warning. So, instead of being funny, teasing but not cruel, it's funny now. It will be very abrupt to be together. " (The Complete Works of Cai Guwen's Comments)
