You are [1] from Meishan's hometown, and I admire your son! Last name ren,
You were so literary and ambitious when you were young, which really fascinated me.
Well, who will know you? It's like waiting for a recommendation, waiting for nothing,
I didn't meet my talent, leaving only my old disciples sad and resentful.
I have admired your little Ren Shuoxue since I was a child, and I have followed him for ten years, Iron Man [2].
I am ecstatic and admire you. Bian Wei's poems are more beautiful, and I am proud of you!
Looking back at that small place in Huangzhou in the past, there lived across the valley.
A row of thatched cottages remains, bamboo reeds are melodious, and books are bursting.
Fifty years' experience has been cultivated by fate several times. Why worry?
Who am I going to ask, so ashamed to bury the sage?
What saddens me at the moment is the old man who died in Pingquan County [3].
He is in his prime, clean and poor. If he gets old, he will be worried.
The elders who were ruled in the past left tears for the old people today [4]
Without him, who will educate and whip those rich and powerful families? [5]
Finally, I heard the good news of Xiaoren's promotion, and my greetings were full of thoughts.
I just want to advise idols not to be too reserved to those birds and humiliate their sharp eagles.
[1] The original poem has "My State", which refers to Meishan. Ren's brother and Su San are fellow villagers and family friends. Their fame is still higher than their own in Su Shi's view. They entered the official position earlier than Su San, so they should always be admired by Su Shi.
[2] Iron Man is a homonym used by Su Shi to address die-hard friends, which is borrowed from others.
[3] The original poem "Pingquan Laoling" refers to Ren Zi. "Song history according to? The Biography of Ren Zi: Ren Zi is a saint, and both brothers are named. The younger brother's name is Renji, that is, Ren Zhongchong who was sentenced to Huangzhou. At that time, he was called Ren Da and Xiao Ren. Ren Zi became an official earlier than Su San. He became a hero with knowledge and integrity. Reputation comparable to Su Xun, an official in Guanglu Temple. However, Su Shi also called him "Lao Ren", and his "Shi Jing Crys" commemorates him like this: "Old Ren is wonderful, and the previous generation pushes the next generation. The article won little reputation, and the poetic language was particularly clear and powerful. Officials can recover and talk and laugh. Self-satisfied as a drama county, partial merit breaks Hao Party. Eager to walk away from cunning officials and gnash their teeth at traitors. Alas, life is uneven, and people will vilify it every time. "
[4] the original translation of this sentence, "Tongxiang old man cried so far, Yingchuan surname can be lost."
"The folks who live in Tongxiang still have tears for their brothers today.
However, who can drive away for this old Yingchuan family? "
Mei Jie reminded me that Su Shi was educated with two allusions, Tongxiang and Yingchuan, in order to praise Ren Zi for loving the people. It was changed while editing. Tongxiang refers to the story of Zhu Yi's governance of Tongxiang. It is used here to compare and praise Ren Zi.
[5] There is a saying in "Shi Jing Mourning Ren Zunsheng", so this sentence "Who can win the most people's hearts in Yingchuan" is also a praise for Ren Zi.
