Classical Chinese Translation of Chai Weng

1. Translation of Selling Firewood and Beating Officials Let me add my own translation of Selling Firewood and Beating Officials:

There was a farmer who used donkeys as firewood. The official said that Miyagi (2) took it and (3) counted the silk and feet, so (4) asked for a "portal" and (5) still invited the donkey to send firewood to his relatives. The farmer gave him the silk in tears. Refused to accept, he said, "You must be a donkey." The farmer said, "I have parents and a wife. I will stay here for dinner. " This firewood is with you today. If you don't take it straight, you will return it. If you refuse, I'm dead! "Then beat the official.

Translation:

Once, a farmer used a donkey to carry firewood. An official claimed that the store in the palace wanted to take this (firewood), so he gave him a few feet of silk and asked him for a door tax. He still forced the donkey to send the firewood to the palace. The farmer began to cry and returned the silk to the official. (official) refused to accept (his silk) and said, "I must take your donkey." The farmer said, "I have parents, wife and children, and I can eat by this (selling firewood)." Now I'll give you my firewood, and I'll go back without pay. You don't want to, and I have to die! "He beat officials.

Appreciation: Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote the famous Charcoal Man, which profoundly exposed the cruel exploitation of the working people by the court market. The charcoal seller described by Bai Juyi looked for court envoys to plunder, so he could only submit to humiliation and be helpless. However, the firewood seller in Selected Works showed a strong spirit of resistance. When he was cornered, he rose up and angered the officials.

2. appreciation and translation of Bai Juyi's "selling firewood Weng", is it selling charcoal Weng?

An old man selling charcoal is chopping wood and burning charcoal in Zhong Nanshan. His face is covered with dust, showing the color of smoke and fire. His temples are gray and his fingers are black. What is the money for selling charcoal for? The clothes you wear and the food you eat. It's cold, and the clothes worn by the poor are very thin, but I'm worried that charcoal is cheap, and I hope it's colder. It snowed a foot thick outside the city at night. In the morning, the old man drove a charcoal cart and ran over a frozen rut. Cattle are tired, people are hungry, the sun has risen very high, and the old man is resting in the mud outside the south gate of the market.

Two riders came briskly. Who are they? Eunuchs in yellow and officials in white. Holding a document in his hand, he said it was the emperor's order, then turned around and shouted to drive the cow to the north. A load of charcoal, 1000 kilograms, Miyagi messenger insisted on driving away, but the old man could not bear to part with it, but he was helpless. The messenger of Miyagi hung half a horse's red yarn and a piece of silk on the cow's head as the price of charcoal.

Appreciation: This poem took us to Zhongnanshan near Chang 'an, the capital at that time, and showed us a very poor life of an old man who burned charcoal.

"Selling charcoal Weng, Nanshan cuts wood and burns charcoal." The old man who burns charcoal doesn't even have an inch of land. All he lives on is an axe, an ox cart and ten fingers blackened by fireworks. He has no wife and children, and he is alone. He cuts his salary and burns charcoal on Nanshan Mountain, making his face "dusty, smoky, with gray temples and black fingers". The hardships of labor can be imagined. Old people who burn charcoal have low demands on life. "What's the point of selling charcoal to make money?" ? He just wants to have food and clothing and maintain a minimum life. Arguably, it is not difficult for a person to support himself, but even such a wish is difficult for him to realize. Charcoal is what people use to keep warm. The old man worked hard to cut wood and burn charcoal, which brought warmth to others, but his clothes were pitifully thin.

Thin clothes always hope for warm weather, right? No, on the contrary, the old man forced by life is "worried about charcoal and willing to be cold". In order to sell more charcoal, he would rather endure double cold. This ambivalence profoundly shows the tragic situation of charcoal sellers.

"It snows a foot outside the city at night, and Xiao drives a charcoal car to roll the ice." The cold weather is really coming. Early in the morning, he got on the bus and walked on the icy road, but went to Chang 'an to sell charcoal. On the way from Zhong Nanshan to Chang 'an, what was he thinking? The poet didn't tell us; But you can imagine that he must be full of hope, because this car charcoal is directly related to his later life. After reading this, we feel closer to the elderly, and can't wait to know whether this car charcoal can be sold or not, and whether it can be sold at a reasonable price. However, the poet didn't tell us the result at once. He let the charcoal seller have a rest and let the readers calm down.

Then the pen turned and wrote, "Who are the two riders? The yellow messenger has a white shirt. " One of the people who came was a eunuch in yellow and the other was a pawn of a eunuch in white. They pretended to be ordered by the emperor to buy goods, and they chased the charcoal cart north regardless of whether the charcoal seller agreed or not. The north of the city is where the emperor lives, and the driver is the eunuch in the palace. What can an old man selling charcoal do? "A cart of charcoal, more than a thousand kilograms, and the envoys in the palace are not spared." Thousands of kilograms of charcoal, I don't know how many kilograms of firewood to burn, and I don't know how many days to cut! In order to burn firewood into charcoal, how much the lonely old man suffered in the dust and beside the fireworks! But what did you get? "Half a horse's red yarn is a silk, which is charcoal for the cow's head." Even the yarn and silk add up to only three zhangs. Can this be worthy of the hard work of the elderly for many days? These court envoys are not shopping, they are simply robbers. They took away not only a car full of charcoal, but the hope of the old man's life and his right to exist. What kind of anger should this arouse the readers! After reading this poem, we can't help asking: Can a charcoal seller with gray temples survive the cold winter with his worthless remuneration?

Bai Juyi has a preface under the title of each poem in New Yuefu, explaining the theme of the poem. The preface of "Selling Charcoal Weng" is "Kugong City", which reflects the pain brought by the palace city to the people. "Palace market" is the most rogue way for the Tang court to directly plunder the property of the people. It turned out that all the daily necessities needed by the imperial court were purchased by the government from the people. At the end of Zhenyuan in Dezong, eunuchs were used to buy directly from court envoys. The palace often sends hundreds of people to Chang 'an's East-West City and popular neighborhoods. When you meet something you like, just say "Miyagi", take it and leave. No one dares to ask. Sometimes I tear your two or three feet of old silk thread into pieces as a reward; Sometimes, instead of giving you any reward, you are asked to post "door money" and "foot price". Therefore, every time the palace envoys come out, even the small shops selling wine and biscuits are closed and afraid to do business.

3. Translation of "selling firewood Weng" in classical Chinese and its rationality Once, a farmer sold camel firewood in the city. I met a eunuch who called himself "Miyagi" and took it away, so I gave him a few feet of silk and asked the doorman for the entrance fee. The farmer gave the eunuch the silk he got in tears. They refused to accept it, saying, "You must send it to the palace with your donkey." So he hit the eunuch. Officials in the street caught him and then reported him to the court. The emperor dismissed the official by imperial decree and gave the farmer ten silks. However, this practice of the "palace market" has not changed. The admonisher and the censor played many times, but the emperor didn't listen. As soon as Emperor Shunzong ascended the throne, he banned the practice of "palace market". Later, when there was an Amnesty, it was banned.

4. What is the translation of the classical Chinese "Chai Weng"? Once a farmer camel firewood and went to the city to sell it. When I met a eunuch who called himself "Miyagi", I took it away and gave him a few feet of silk. He also asked the doorman for the entrance fee and sent it to the palace by donkey.

The farmers began to cry and gave the eunuchs the silk obtained by E79FA5E98193E78988E69D8313336563937. They refused to accept it, saying, "You must send it to the palace with your donkey." The farmer said, "I have parents, a wife and children. I can't buy anything to eat until I make money with donkeys and camels. "

Now that I have given you firewood, I have no money to go home, and you refuse, I have to die! "So he hit the eunuch. Officials in the street caught him.

Then he reported his situation to the court. The emperor dismissed the official by imperial decree and gave the farmer ten silks. However, the practice of "Miyagi" has not changed. The admonition officer and the suggestion made a lot of comments on the throne, but the emperor didn't listen.

As soon as Emperor Shunzong ascended the throne, he banned the practice of "palace market". Later, when there was an Amnesty, it was banned.

Truth: The oppression of firewood farmers described in this article is only one of thousands of cases. The farmers couldn't stand it any longer and had to rise up and resist. The supreme ruler only fired the eunuchs, and at the same time gave the silk to the farmers, using small favors to ease the resistance of the civilians.

Further reading: Original text: I once tasted a farmer who used donkeys as firewood and sold them in the city. When some officials called it "Palace City", they only counted a few feet with silks, and then invited the donkey in. The farmer sobbed and paid with the silk he got, but refused to accept it. He said, "You must send firewood to the donkey."

The farmer said, "I have parents and a wife. I will stay here for dinner. " I'll give you firewood now, and you won't take it until I get it straight. I'm just dead! "Then beat the official.

Street officials seized the news, summoned officials and gave the farmer ten silks; However, the "palace market" has not changed. The admonition officer advised several times to play the admonition, but he did not listen.

First of all, it is forbidden. Amnesty and prohibition.

5. A farmer tried to carry 1 firewood with a donkey. The official said that Miyagi took two, three silks counted several feet, and four "gates" were needed, and six donkeys were still invited to send firewood in. The farmer gave him the silk in tears. Refused to accept, he said, "Suder 8 donkey." The farmer said, "I have parents and a wife. I will stay here for dinner. " This firewood is with you today, but you don't hold it straight. You still won't take 10, and I still have 1 1 to die! "Then beat the official.

Note: 1 negative: carry. 2 Miyagi; Shops in the palace. 3 and: Here. Q: Ask him for it. 5 Portal: refers to portal tax. 6 invitation: strong. Within 7 days: in the palace. 8 Two: You. 9 straight: same as "value". 10 Shang: Still. 1 1 Yes: only.
