Servants are suspicious and willing to be taught translation.

Author: Liu Ji

Dongling Hou Fei (1) was passed on to Sima Ji. The master of the season said, "What do you want to divine?" ? "Hou of Dongling said," Those who lie down for a long time think about it, those who sting for a long time think about it, and those who wake up for a long time think about it. I smell it, and the cymbal reaches 2. Hot poles attract wind, and extremely poles attract wind. One winter and one spring, indomitable, falling together, never ending. Servants are suspicious and want to be taught. "Season master said," if it is, the monarch has said. What's the point? The Duke of Dongling said, "Your servant has not studied his teachings, so I hope you can teach him." The owner of the season said, "Alas! Who are the relatives in heaven? Only relatives of virtue (4); What is ghost spirit? Because of the human spirit. (5), hay also; Tortoise (6), dead bones, things. People are spiritual in things, so why not listen to things themselves? And why don't you think about the past (7)? There is a past and there is today, so it is tattered, and the former Song building and ballroom are also; Wild hazel (8), old Joan Yushu (9); The dew fly cicada (10), the former phoenix dragon flute; Ghost firefly, the golden candle of the past (11); Autumn tea and spring grass (12), the image in the past was white hump (13); Feng Dan, original leaf (14). There was nothing in the past, and today is no exaggeration; Everything in the past is not lacking today. So, one day and one night, flowers bloom (15); In autumn and spring, old things are new. Under the turbulent flow, there must be deep pools; Under the high hills, there must be deep valleys (16). The ministers also know. Why? "

After Dongling Hou was abolished, he went to Sima Ji for divination.

The owner of the season said, "What do you want to read?" Dongling Hou said: "I remember I wanted to go out after lying down for a long time, I wanted to go out after living alone with the door closed for a long time, and I wanted to sneeze after my chest was stuffy for a long time." I heard that if you accumulate too much, you will vent, if you are extremely bored, you will open up, if you are too bored, you will be exposed to the wind, and if you are too blocked, you will cycle. Every winter has a spring, and nothing can only bend but not stretch; One of them has a volt, and there is nothing that can't come. I have my doubts in private, and I hope to get your advice. "the owner of the season said," in that case, you have understood, so why do you still need divination? Hou Dongling said: "I didn't deeply understand the mystery. I hope Mr Wang Can can give me some advice. "

Boss Ji went on to say, "Alas! Who does heaven kiss? Only kiss people with high moral character. How do ghosts and gods work? Only by gaining people's trust can they become smart. Yarrow is nothing but hay, and tortoise shell is nothing but bones. It's all things. People are smarter than things, so why not listen to themselves, but to things? Besides, why don't you think about the past? Where there is the past, there is today. Therefore, the broken tiles and broken walls are all old dance halls; Now the bare thorns and broken stems are the past Qionghua Yushu; Crickets and cicadas wail in the wind and dew, and now they are old and prosperous dragon flutes; Today's jack-o'-lantern fluorescence is the golden lamp and candle of the past; Now bitter vegetables in autumn and shepherd's purse in spring are the fat humps of the past; Now red maple leaves and white grass are made of beautiful brocade and fine silk produced in Sichuan in the past. It is not too much to have what you didn't have in the past now; The past is over now, and it is not enough. So from day to night, the blooming flowers wither; From autumn to spring, withered plants sprout new buds. Under the torrent, there must be a deep pool; There must be deep valleys under high mountains. You already know all these things. Why do you need divination? "
