Translation of the Original Text of Longgang Qianbiao

The original translation of Longgang Money Table is as follows:

Alas! Sixty years after my father worshipped lord protector and was buried in Buxiang, Longgang, his son Xiu was able to erect a monument on the tomb. This is not because he dares to delay deliberately, but because he is waiting.

Unfortunately, my father died when I was four years old. My mother was determined to give up drinking and my family was poor. She manages her own life, and she wants to raise me, educate me and let me grow. My mother said to me, "Your father is honest, helpful and loves to make friends. His salary is meager, and there is often little left. He said, "Don't let money become my burden!" " "After his death, he left no means of subsistence.

What can I do to keep this festival? I know something about your father, so I put my hopes on you. Since I became your daughter-in-law, I miss the days of serving my mother-in-law, but I know that your father is very filial to his parents. You lost your father when you were a child. I'm not sure what you will achieve in the future, but I know your father must have a successor.

When I first got married, your father was not filial to his mother for just one year. At the end of the year, when he offered sacrifices to his ancestors, he always cried and said,' No matter how rich the sacrifices are, they are not as meager as before.' Occasionally, he would eat some good food and wine, and he would cry and say,' My mother used to have enough, but now she has more than enough, and she can't taste it! When I first met this situation, I thought I had just finished the funeral. Later, it was often like this until death.

Although I didn't have time to wait on my mother-in-law, it can be seen from this that your father is very filial to his parents. Your father, an official, once lit a candle to read the case file at night. He stopped to sigh many times.

When I asked him, I said,' This is a death sentence case. I also want to find a way out for him, but I can't.' I asked,' Can I find a way out for the death row?' He said:' If I want to find a way out for him but I can't, then the deceased and I will have no regrets, let alone find a way out and do it! It is precisely because some people have been pardoned that they understand that people who have been executed without serious intercession may bear a grudge.

I often make a living for death row inmates and can't help but kill them by mistake; Why do people in the world always want to kill criminals? He looked back and saw the nurse holding you and standing beside him. He pointed at you and sighed and said,' The fortune teller said I was going to die in the first year. If his words come true, I won't see my son grow up. You should tell him what I said later.

He often uses these words to educate other younger generations, so I remember them clearly because I am used to listening to them. I don't know how he is outside; But at home, he never puts on airs and acts amiable; This is from the heart!

Alas! He attaches great importance to benevolence! Therefore; I just know why your father has good offspring. You must work hard! Supporting parents doesn't have to be rich, the most important thing is filial piety; Although the benefits can't be applied to everyone, the point is kindness. I have nothing to teach you. These are all your father's wishes. "I wrote these teachings with tears in my eyes, and I dare not forget them.

My late father lost his father when he was young and studied hard. Xianping was a scholar in the three-year exam. He used to be a judge of Daozhou, Si, Mianzhou and Taizhou. 59 years old, buried in Luogang, Shaxi.

His wife's surname is Zheng, and his father's name is Deyi, and he has been a famous family in Jiangnan for generations. Taifuren is respectful, thrifty, kind and educated. At first, he was named Taijun of Fuchang County, and later he was named Taijun of Le 'an, Ankang and Pengcheng counties.

After she left our house, she managed the house on the principle of thrift. Later, when the family became rich, she was not allowed to spend too much money. She said, "My son can't cater to the world. He has to be frugal to tide over possible difficulties." Later, I was demoted to Yiling, and Taitai smiled as usual and said, "Your family is poor, and I am used to this kind of life. You can be happy, and I can be happy. "

Twenty years after my father died, I supported my mother with my salary. Twelve years later, he became a Beijing official in the imperial court, which was the gift of his parents. Ten years later, I served as a bachelor and an official of Longtuge, and stayed in Nanjing. My mother died at the official residence at the age of 72. Eight years later, I became Tang Tang, the deputy commander of the imperial court with disproportionate talent, and advanced to participate in politics. It was another seven years before he was relieved of his post.

Since he entered the military and political affairs of the DPRK, the emperor has been gracious and praised three generations of clansmen. Since the reign of Emperor Injong Jiayou, whenever I visit the anniversary, I will definitely give my ancestors a favor. Great-grandfather gave it to Dr. Jin Ziguang, teacher and secretary Lu, and great-grandmother gave it to Mrs. Chu. Grandfather gave it to Dr. Jin Ziguang, teacher Lu, secretary after secretary, and grandmother gave it to his wife.

My late father gave Dr. Jin Jinguang, Mr. Lu, the secretary-general and the secretary-general, and my late mother gave it to Mrs. Yue Guotai. The emperor held a sacrifice to heaven for the first time. My father gave me the title of lord protector, and my mother took the title of Taiwei.

So I said with tears: "Alas! It is inevitable that good will be rewarded one day. My ancestors and father deserve such a grand reward for their good deeds. Although you can't enjoy it in your lifetime, it is a glory and a compliment to be knighted and sealed. The award of the three dynasties shows that it is more virtuous than future generations and supports future generations. "

So I sorted out my family tree, carved it on a stone tablet in detail, and then wrote down my father's loyalty to lord protector, my wife's education, and the reasons for being bad to me on the table, so that everyone could know that my virtue was shallow and my ability was small, but I only got a high position at the right time, and I was lucky enough to preserve the principle of being big without humiliating my ancestors, all because of the above reasons.

In the third year of Zong Xining, Geng Xunian, the first day of April, I was in a good mood, and on the 15th, Yi Hai, a man pushed Prudential, Bayern Yi, made contributions, got a bachelor's degree in the official literature hall, went to the Ministry of War, learned about Qingzhou military affairs, and was also in charge of persuading agricultural envoys, filling JD.COM Road to appease envoys, and went to the kingdoms, where Le 'an County was founded, with 4,300 households in grain cities and food parcels/kloc-
