Classical Chinese Translation of Shang Tang's Pray for Rain

1. The classical Chinese translation of "Pray for Rain in the Mulberry Forest" Lv Chunqiu said: Shang Tang, a poet of the former dynasty, ruled the world by conquering summer, and it was a drought, and he didn't harvest it for five years. Donnell prayed to Sang Lin with his body and said, "The other one is guilty, which is shared by all men; Everyone is guilty, but only one is left. No one is so insensitive that gods and ghosts can hurt people's lives. " So I cut his hair, ground his hand as a sacrifice, and prayed to God. People say it rains heavily.

The general idea is:

Once upon a time, King Shang Tang overthrew the Xia Dynasty and re-established the Shang Dynasty, which swept the world. After years of drought, there was no harvest for five years. King Shang Tang prayed in Sanglin outside Dubo: "I am guilty alone, so don't implicate everyone;" Everyone is guilty, and it's all my fault. You can't let everyone in the world be punished because of one person's fault. "So, I cut my hair and rubbed my hands. I am willing to be a victim of praying for God. People are very happy. Just then, the heavy rain finally came.

2. Shang Zhouwang's theory of praying for rain means that this sentence you said should appear in Long Wen's whip shadow. In fact, there is an allusion: It is said that during the reign of Shang King Tang Cheng, there was a five-year drought. After divination, the Taishi predicted that someone would ask for rain, so the king himself came down in the rain.

This story can be found in the article "Lushi Chunqiu Shunmin": "In the past, the Tang Dynasty, but the world was in full swing, and the drought did not harvest for five years. Tang gave his body to Sanglin (the name of the society) and said,' One person is guilty because one person is insensitive, so that ghosts and gods harm people's lives?' So he cut his hair and ground his hands, thinking that he was a sacrifice, and prayed to God. "

The people are very happy, and it is raining heavily. "The effect is that summer came in Shang Tang, and the drought fell from the sky, and the people failed to harvest. So Shang Tang prayed to God personally, thinking that he was the only one who could not make the people in the world suffer, so the people were happy and the rain came.

Jin Zhangzong has been in Cheng 'an for four years, and there is no water in the river. The crops near and far have all burned out, and the people don't know what to do. Zhen, the local governor, is very concerned about farmers and is eager to order his subordinates to find someone to beg for rain. Soil-hating witchcraft has been tried several times, but it has not come true. For a long time, strange sayings emerged one after another. A citizen gave birth to a white donkey and said, "This is the reason for the drought. When the clouds are dense, the donkey raises its head and makes a noise, leaving no clouds behind. The white donkey will never die, and the drought will never stop. " One person speculated that many people began to agree with this statement. When Zhen heard this, he thought it was so, and immediately ordered the white donkey to be caught and burned.

The white donkey held a dream and said to someone in the handsome house, "it is wrong to burn me!" What does it matter to me that people and themselves suffer from the epidemic of natural disasters? I was born unlucky to be an animal, but unfortunately I am also a human animal. Loading is driven by people and commanded by people; Control reprimands are always increasing. I worked hard and humiliated to death, so I did my duty. If it's a drought, then you can know that I caused it, and you want me to suffer like this? Who is the witch? I'm here, Zhen Yang Shuai. Listen! This disaster is related to both astronomical phenomena and human beings. People can ask for help, but the astronomical phenomena can be abandoned and left to their own devices. When Shang Tang won the world, there was a drought for five years, and Tang prayed in the mulberry forest (the forest of mulberry mountains), so it rained. The defender wants to attack the criminal country. It is drought. The divination is related to mountains and rivers and cannot be solved. Ning Zhuangzi said that it is unreasonable to accuse the sinful country to the sky, because it rains every day. During the drought of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Bo Shi thought that Sang Hongyang's policy of monopolizing salt liquor caused public outrage, so he asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to "cook Hongyang, and it rained" because of the drought. During the period of Tang Wenzong, Zheng paid attention to autocracy, while Wu was trapped by Song and others. Suffering from the severe drought, literate scholars sought for rain, so Li Zhongmin wrote: "The only way to seek rain now is to cut Zheng Zhu's note, that is, to remove snow and clear tin. "There are so many ways to save the drought, why not follow these methods? If you can't get it, there's nothing to pursue, then the problem lies in heaven. Just entrust him. Accuse me of my fault with unfounded statements, and Dont Ask For Help doesn't ask for heaven. Alas, that's not true! Exposing the wizard to the sun and asking for drought has already been tried. He will burn me today. Isn't that useless? Repeat? Killing me is good for mankind. Why don't I die for the rain? If it doesn't work, will it add insult to injury? Killing indiscriminately is inhuman; It is unwise to believe out of turn; Ruthless and unwise, is it that Zhen Yangshuai chose at will? I think all this is true, so I took the liberty to confide in you in private.

The dreamy subordinate immediately woke up after apologizing and asked Zhenyangshuai to release the white donkey. At first, people could not understand and were unwilling to release the white donkey. Soon after, it began to rain, but it never stopped for a month. At the end of the harvest season, the crops destroyed by the flood were not harvested. People stop talking about white donkeys.

4. Looking for the original text and translation of Gong Jing's Praying for Rain in Lingshan Hebo: The drought in Qi exceeded the time limit, and the ministers were called to ask, "It hasn't rained for a long time, and the people are hungry. I make people predict that I have mountains (ghosts and gods). I want to pay less so that I can worship Lingshan, but what? " Ministers are right. Yan Zijin said, "No way. It's no use worshipping the shrine. Fuling Mountain takes stone as its body and vegetation as its hair. If it doesn't rain for a long time, its hair will be burnt and its body will get hot. Why don't you want to rain? What are the benefits of temples? " Gong said, "Otherwise, I will visit Hebo. Is that all right? " Yan Zi said, "No way. Hebo regards water as its country and fish and turtles as its people. If it doesn't rain for a long time, spring will go and spring will come, rivers will run out, and the country and people will perish. Why don't they want to rain? What are the benefits of temples? "

The drought in Qi has been going on for a long time. Qi Jinggong summoned ministers and asked, "It hasn't rained for a long time, and crops and people are starving. I ordered divination, and ghosts were hidden in the mountains and rivers. I want to sacrifice some money to the mountain gods. Do you think so? " None of the ministers answered. Yan Zi stood up and said, "I don't think we can do this. It's no good offering sacrifices to mountain gods. Mountain gods take stones as their bodies and vegetation as their hair. If it doesn't rain for a long time, his hair will be brown and his body will be very hot. Doesn't he want to rain? What's the use of providing it to him? " Qi Huangong added, "If this doesn't work, can we sacrifice to the river god?" Yan Zi replied: "Not good either. River gods take water as their country and fish and turtles as their subjects. If it doesn't rain for a long time, the spring will be cut off and the river will dry up. At this time, other countries will die, and the fish and turtles will be * * *. Doesn't he want to rain? What's the use of offering? "

6. Shang Tang met Yi Yin. Once upon a time, Shang Tang was going to see Yi Yin and let Peng's son drive.

Peng's son asked halfway, "Where are you going?" Shang Tang replied, "I'm going to see Yi Yin." Peng's son said, "Yi Yin is just an ordinary person in the world.

If you must see him, order him to ask him, which is already a reward for him! "Shang Tang said," it's not like you know. If there is a medicine here now, if I take it, my ears will be more sensitive and my eyes will be brighter, then I will definitely like it and try to take it.

Now Yi Yin is like a good doctor and medicine to our country, but you don't want me to see Yi Yin. This is because you don't want me to be good! "(Shang Tang) so called Peng Jiazi, don't let him drive.
