"In general? Translation of Yi Zeng (Excerpt)

The trouble with ordinary people in the world is that things exaggerate the facts; Writing articles to express words is beyond the real situation: praising beautiful things is beyond their actual beauty, and recording evil behaviors is beyond their actual sins. Why is this? People are curious, not strange, and nobody listens to what they say. Therefore, if you praise a person and don't exaggerate his good deeds, then the listener will feel uncomfortable; If the slanderer does not exaggerate his crime, the listener will be dissatisfied. When people hear one, they will praise it as ten, and when they see a hundred, they will praise it as a thousand. Divide simple things into dozens and hundreds (beyond recognition); What was originally unremarkable has become a thousand words that deviate from the original words (more and more distorted). Mozi cried when he saw Bai Si, and Yangzi cried because he went the wrong way. Probably all sentimental things have lost their nature, and pity them for deviating from their own nature. Gossip, legends of thousands of people, from the mouth of small people, spread in the streets, and so on. Hundred schools of thought's articles, which explain Confucian classics, are written by sages and are the crystallization of brilliant thoughts. It should be said that it is realistic, but it is exaggerated in some places. Maybe the words in the scriptures are in line with reality? No one can be more cautious than a saint, who has never revised scripture from generation to generation. But in some places, he went too far and exaggerated more than the truth. Exaggeration exceeds facts, but they all have a purpose, and they will not say more with less at will. But (I) must discuss their reasons, in order to show that there is a difference between exaggeration in scripture and exaggeration in those rumors.

"In general? Super Strange Translation (Excerpt)

A person who has read more than 1000 articles, less than 10000 articles, is knowledgeable, familiar with all kinds of classics, thoroughly understands the meaning of the text, and can be used to teach others to be teachers. Give full play to the meaning of ancient books, use their sentences flexibly, write a book to remember or argue, and write a systematic article. Such people are literati and scholars. There are many people in the world who are studious, knowledgeable and have a strong memory. Writing ancient and modern books and articles is also rare among 10 thousand people. Those who can write books and articles are people who have knowledge and can use them. To the point, I don't know the length; Everyone knows the size of the grass in Yuan Ye. However, you can't cut down trees to build houses, and you can't pick grass to write prescriptions. This is knowing the vegetation and not using it. A well-informed person cannot use it to discuss problems. This is a bibliophile who only collects and doesn't use it. It is what Confucius said, "I read 300 poems and gave them to him to handle government affairs, but I couldn't understand them." In fact, it is the same as those who know plants but can't cut them. Confucius got Lu's history book "Spring and Autumn Annals", and his creative thought of establishing righteousness was praised, belittled, praised and belittled. His whimsy did not follow Lu's history book, but came from the heart. Generally speaking, what advocates reading through is being able to use them. If you are only familiar with reading, whether you are reading poems or masterpieces, although you have read more than 1000 books, you are just parroting. Give full play to the significance of classic works and write rich literary works. Without outstanding talent, it is unbearable. People who read widely are everywhere in the world, but people who write articles are rare throughout the ages. In modern times, Liu Xiang and his son, Yang Xiong and Huan Tan seem to be King Wen, King Wu and Duke Zhou. The rest of you, it's normal For example, pearl jadeite is precious because it is rare. Confucian scholars can explain a kind of classics; Looking at the past and present is an ordinary person; It is the literati who choose biographies, books and memorials; A scholar is a person who can write his own system with subtle thoughts. Therefore, Confucian scholars are super laity, ordinary people are super Confucian scholars, scholars are super ordinary people, and scholars are super scholars. Therefore, the scholar can be said to be a super super person. Compared with other students, gorgeous cars are far from shabby cars, and gorgeous clothes are far from shabby robes. If compared with the laity, it goes without saying that (a scholar) is as high as the top of Mount Tai and as high as Chang Di. Qiushan is a mountain shaped by earth and stone. It contains copper and iron, which is unusual for this mountain. Copper and iron are no longer common, and some mountains also produce gold and jade. Then the scholar is a treasure in the world, which is strange. Strange, can surpass each other, there are high and low points.

Confucian scholars are called Confucian scholars, far exceeding the laity. Some can't talk about teaching students once; Some people get together and have a thorough theory, which can be called mastering the classics; Some can't write official documents and put forward ideas for governance; Some can state the gains and losses, put forward appropriate suggestions, state the classics, and the articles are like stars and moons. Among them, Gu Yong and Tang Lin are more advanced. It is impossible to write a self-contained work by quoting classics from official documents. Some selected columns describe past deeds, such as Sima Qian, Liu Xiang and others. There are tens of thousands of chapters, far more than Gu Yong and Tang. But it only follows the existing data to describe the past, and there is no heartfelt creation. As for Lu Jia and Dong Zhongshu, they say that the world comes from their own thoughts and does not borrow other people's materials. However, the reason is simple and easy to understand, and people who read it can only call it a biography. Yang Chengheng's writing and Yang Xiong's writing about Thailand are exquisite creations, which cannot be written by far-reaching truth, not by a scholar. Confucius wrote Spring and Autumn Annals, while Yang Chengheng and Yang Xiong wrote two classics. It can be said that, like Yan Hui, he followed in the footsteps of Confucius, grand and exquisite, and he was the great sage after the sage.

The maharaja asked Huan Tan what kind of a bear was. Huan Tan replied: "Since the Han Dynasty, there has never been such a person." . Huan Tan commented on the difference of talents, and it can be said that the evaluation is in line with reality. The heart of the jade picker is better than that of the jade, and the tortoise is outsmarted by the tortoise. I can judge many Confucian talents and rank them in order. I am superior to all Confucianism in order. Huan Tan wrote "New Theory" again, commenting on world affairs and distinguishing right from wrong. All lies and lies are not without textual research. Huan Tan is the earliest advocate of theory among Yang Chengheng, Yang Xiong and others. Since Huan Tan, everyone has profound wisdom, so there are good articles. The pen can write articles, and the mind can plan ideas. Articles come from the heart, and the inner things are represented by articles. Looking at their articles, they are extraordinary and outstanding, which can be said to be incisive. From this perspective, people with rich articles and works are heroes among people.

Below are roots and stems, above are flowers and leaves, inside are pulp and stone, and outside are peels and shells. The writing of articles is the leaves and skin of scholars. True feelings are in the heart, and pen and ink are written on bamboo slips and silks. With proper internal and external cooperation, the writing will be smooth when the mind is excited, so the article will reveal the true feelings. People have words, just like birds have feathers; Feathers are colorful and all grow on the body. If words are not true, then the colorful feathers of birds grow out of thin air. When choosing a warrior with archery, the archer should stand upright with his chest out, aim at the target and draw his bow before shooting. Issuing a statement is like issuing a bow and arrow; The argument is reasonable, just like an arrow hitting the target. Archery tests archery skills by archery. It is said that it is unusual to express it in words and ink. Strangeness and cleverness are both from the heart and have the same connotation. The article has a profound theme and a general plan for governing the country. The author has no choice but to write out his own ideas to show that they can be implemented if conditions permit. Confucius wrote Chunqiu to show the will and strategy of the king. Then, Confucius' Spring and Autumn Annals is the achievement of being king, not being king. Biographies and books of philosophers are things that have nothing to do with each other but have something to do with each other. Reading Spring and Autumn Annals can reveal the king's mind. Reading philosophers can tell the prime minister's intentions. Therefore, when Chen Ping divided the meat in the village, the talent of the prime minister appeared; As soon as Sun Shuai dredged the river (irrigated farmland), Yin's talent was revealed. Reading biographies and books, you can learn the truth of governing the country, and you can't just verify it by cutting meat and dredging rivers. If your feet are not strong, you can't go far. If your blade is not sharp, you can't cut deep. To write a systematic chapter, you must be a very clever and outstanding person.
