Foreword translation of Mr. Li Yong's anthology! ! ! Urgent! ! ! !

Mr. Li Yong lost a South Cao Li [1] and a Li Guan Second Division [2], and his position was simple [3], but he amused himself with poetry. If you are prepared for danger in times of peace, if you can't say it [4], or you don't understand current events [5]. And to test his official position [6], he must take the world as his heart [7], which is almost mediocre. Hey, honey! The custom of this world has lasted for a long time. Scholars regard similarity and irrelevance [8] as the way to change the times. In the meantime, I was a little self-motivated and wanted to do my job well [9], which was laughed at by the world [10]. Then, in Mr. Wang's view, it is also appropriate not to hear about current events.

After reading it, he should have written a letter to Chen Yan [1 1], saying that what happened in the world was ruled by the then emperor Li Zhi [12], and the officials in charge of history inherited the inevitable harm [13], but they never went on strike [1]. In the past, the so-called Wendi was given to Jia Sheng [15], which was implemented by Chen Lue [16]. This is not surprising. In the year of becoming a strong official [17], it was the best in Taiwan [18]. Then cast disintegrated return [20].

I have lived at home for more than ten years and studied behind closed doors. I feel like a Confucian scholar [2 1]. Exploring the "Six Classics" and the purpose of Confucius and Mencius [22] and concentrating on the great cause [23], all the works have not been investigated by many Confucians [24]. If you want to claim to be just a weak official [25] and can't explain practical learning [26], take Wei and Jin poets [27] and imitate exercise as a job [28]. Teenagers waste their energy in useless places and deeply regret it, which is often seen in words. Leisure day is called "fat and redundant records" because of what it does [29]. Give it to me.

Think that writers, the shape of Tao is also [30]. The form of Tao is literary, and its words are just right, meaning: "Its meaning is far-reaching, its words are moderate, and its concealment [3 1]." However, although there are countless words, they are not so-called out of shape [32], and "people who are obsessed with the five internal organs" are also [3]. So literature is beyond the reach of saints [34]. Although, Confucius said: "If there is a way in the world, there must be branches and leaves;" If there is no way in the world, there are branches and leaves [35]. " If you can't win, there will be fewer articles than expected; Too many words, too many words, overflow in the text [36]. Isn't it the redundancy of Tao? So I can't measure the reason why Mr. Zhi is advancing in Japan. Record several volumes, bootstrap Jinshi to thank the family [37]. And those who survive will know nothing [38] and think they are wart clouds.

Precautions:

[1] South Cao Li: that is, the subordinate officials of Nanjing Official Department. Gu Menggui went to Nanjing to be an official, only 24 years old.

[2] Li Guan No.2 Division: Gu Menggui first served as the Director of Ji Xun Division of Nanjing Official Department, and later was promoted to the Inspection and Sealing Division of Nanjing Official Department, hence the name.

[3] Leisure: refers to official leisure.

[4] If you can't say what you say, Gui Youguang's "Li Yong's Misunderstanding of Public Rights": "The public is very heavy, so you can't say what you say. There is nothing better than studying in a family, but I am as cold as I am. "

[12] Li Zhi: Stimulate the will. ZTE's governance: to achieve halfway revitalization and turn decline into glory. Ming Chengzu Zheng Desheng was dissolute and politically corrupt. Emperor Sejong Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the great unification at the beginning, and the ruling and opposition parties placed high hopes on him with the aim of "revival".

[13] China officials guard: The Ming emperors often sent trusted eunuchs to guard the troops everywhere. Middle-level officials, namely eunuchs. The autocratic power of eunuchs in Ming Dynasty is famous in history.

Never give up. Gui Youguang's "Li Yong's Public Rights Care": "Current affairs and politics are important, so I ask for advice under the imperial edict and talk about six things in public. And the officials in the upper and middle schools will be observed and implemented in the world. "

[15] Wendi: Emperor Liu Heng of China (202 BC-65438 BC+057 BC), who reigned for 23 years, advocated sharing interest with the people, being quiet and frugal, which is described by historians. Jia Sheng: that is, Jia Yi (former 201-former 169) was born in Luoyang, Han (now Henan). When I was young, I could read all the books. Emperor Wen of Han called me a doctor and moved to Taizhong to be a doctor. Jia Yi has repeatedly neglected things and talked about the disadvantages of the times, which is taboo for the old ministers in the DPRK. He used to be the teacher of King Changsha, and then he moved to Liang and died. The world calls Jia Taifu or Jia Sheng. Historical Records and Hanshu have been circulated.

[16] Chen Lue saw the implementation: According to Records of the Historian Biography of Qu Yuan and Jia Sheng, "Emperor Xiaowen was humble at the beginning of his accession to the throne. The laws and regulations have been changed, and the princes know the country, and their words are all from Jia Sheng. "

[17] The year of a strong official: another name for forty years old. Language "Book of Rites Quli Shang": "Forty strong, but also officials." The ancients thought that when people were forty years old, they were smart enough to be an official.

[18] Mubo: It was called the chief in the Han Dynasty. Gu Menggui is a provincial judge in Fujian and an official in Jiangxi, which is equivalent to the county magistrate in Han Dynasty, hence the name.

[19] Waitai: The secretariat of the Eastern Han Dynasty was the governor of prefectures and counties, whose name was Waitai. This refers to the position of minister in the Ming Dynasty. Best: the highest level.

[20] Illegal voting: submit a petition to impeach yourself. This is a way of abandoning officials in ancient times. According to Gui Youguang's "Li Yong's Wrong Records of the Ancient Duke", "I was promoted to the right in Jiangxi, and I went to Jianning, where I got sick. I am eager to be an official, and I have an imperial decree. "

[2 1] Yaoyao: describes honesty and respect.

[22] Examination: discussion and verification. The Six Classics are the Six Classics: Poetry, Calligraphy, Rites, Music, the Book of Changes and the Spring and Autumn Period, among which Music was lost earlier. Or "music" is included in "poetry" and "ceremony". The purpose of Confucius and Mencius: namely, Confucian academic thought. Confucius was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and was the founder of Confucianism. Meng, Mencius, Minke, and Confucianism were the "Asian saints" after the Song Dynasty.

[23] Great cause: refers to the Confucian political thought of "self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and calming the world".

[24] Confucianism: that is, the Confucian scholars of the predecessors.

F: Just now. Weak crown: male is 20 years old. "Book of Rites Qu Lishang": "Twenty weak and crowned." Kong Ying Da's book: "Twenty adults, like a crown at the beginning, are still not strong, so they are weak." Officer: Enter the official career. Gu Menggui was twenty-three years old when he was admitted to the imperial examination, and he was an early and successful person in the imperial examination era.

[26] Practical learning: practical and useful learning.

[27] Just: rigid and limited. Take only: Take only. Poets outside Wei and Jin Dynasties: This refers to the formation of ancient poetry.

[28] Imitation: refers to imitation and sculpture. That is, learning only from form and writing skills.

[29] Redundancy (yóu zhuì): a metaphor for superfluous and useless things, which refers to Gu Menggui's self-modesty. A wart, a sarcoma that grows on people.

[30] The sentence "thought" means that the article is an expression of "Tao".

[3 1] Four sentences of "Its purport is far-reaching": "Under the Yi copula": "Its purport is far-reaching, its words are hidden." This is Confucius' praise of the Book of Changes. The general idea is: its meaning is far-reaching, its words are literary, its words are tortuous and pertinent, and its words are straightforward and implicit.

[32] Out of shape: The text "Zhuangzi Thumb": "Attached to warts, out of shape, but wasted on sex." It means that being out of shape is redundant and useless. Gui Youguang praised Gu's collected works in the name of "The Record of Warts Overwhelming", which is not without merit.

[33] Those who are more sensitive to the five internal organs: See "Zhuangzi Thumb": "Those who are sensitive to the five internal organs are dissolute in the trip of righteousness and wisdom." Gui Youguang's quotation is to convey seemingly superfluous feelings by various means. Pian branch, that is, the finger of thumb. The big toe of the foot is connected with the second toe, which is called epiphysis; There is an extra finger next to the thumb or little finger of the hand, which is called a branch finger. It's all useless. The five internal organs, also called "five internal organs", refer to the heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney. Chinese medicine believes that people's emotions are related to the five internal organs.

[34] Saint: This refers to Confucius.

[35] "There is a way in the world" four sentences: "The Book of Rites" says: "Confucius said: a gentleman does not speak and wastes. Therefore, there is a way in the world, and there must be branches and leaves; If there is no way in the world, there must be branches and leaves. " Confucius said, "Therefore, if there are words in the world, there must be branches and leaves. There are words in the world, and there is beauty outside, just like there are branches and leaves outside the trunk; If there is no way in the world, there must be branches and leaves. If there is no way, people are rude and dishonest, but they are empty, such as branches and leaves outside the trunk. "

[36] Overflowing in the text: that is, the above-mentioned "text has branches and leaves" is a metaphor for the proliferation of false and untrue articles.

[37] Thank you: It means resigning from public office.

38 Xi: One tenth.
