original text

Ostrich fu

Han Dynasty: Jia Yi

Wang Fu and I have been friends for three years, and some birds have flown into the friendship home. Owls are like owls, but they are ominous birds. Friendship means exile in Changsha, which is humble and humid. Friendship mourns itself, thinking that life cannot last long, but it gives it the ability to extend itself. Its words say:

The age of wasabi is Xi. In April in Xia Meng, Gengzi's days are oblique, and he gathers in the house. Don't sit in the corner, it looks leisurely. Foreign bodies to extract, all blame themselves. A book was sent to seize it, predicting its degree, saying, "The wild bird has entered the room, and the Lord will go." I want to ask Yu Xixi: "Where to go? Sue me, but it's not good to say it. The speed of flooding is embarrassing, and the language has been given to it. " The owl sighed and raised its wings; Mouth can't talk, please guess:

"Everything is changing and there is no rest. Swim and move, or push back Form and harmony are continuous and constantly changing. Mu Mu is infinite, Hook wins! Misfortune depends on happiness, and happiness lies in misfortune; Sorrow and joy meet, and good and bad luck share the same domain. Peter Wu Qiang, Fuxi defeated; The longer you live, the more you learn, and Gou Jian dominates the world. When he became a monk, he was sentenced to five sentences; Fu Shuo is vain, but he looks like Wu Ding. What's the difference between a husband's misfortune and his blessing? Life is unspeakable, who knows its extreme! Drought caused by water, drought caused by media; Everything has become thinner and the oscillation has changed. The cloud is steaming and the rain is falling, and the error correction is controversial; The great king spreads things, and it is boundless. Heaven is unpredictable, and Tao is unforeseeable; If you are late, you will die. You never know when.

The world is a melting pot, and nature is a work; Yin and Yang are charcoal, and everything is copper. What are the rules if you spread the news? Ever-changing, there is a pole before the beginning, which suddenly makes people embarrassed. How to control it? If it becomes a foreign body, why bother! Xiao Zhi is selfish, cheap and expensive; People have a big picture, and everything is possible. A greedy husband is a martyr of wealth, and a martyr is a martyr of honor. The boaster dies, but the boaster lives. Afraid of being forced, or inclined to the west and the east; Adults don't bend, but the meaning becomes the same. Fools are vulgar, and if they are embarrassed, they will be arrested; It is a relic to man and unique to Tao. Everyone is confused, and likes and dislikes accumulate hundreds of millions; Real people are indifferent, alone with the Tao. Interpretation of wisdom and form, detachment and self-pity; Vast and desolate, soaring with the Tao. If you take the flow, you will die, and if you get it, you will stop; I don't care about myself. If his life is floating, his death is static; If the abyss stands still, it will be a ship that is not tied. Do not cherish life, raise the air to float; Germans are not tired, but they know how to live without worrying. The details are hard to doubt! "

Jia Yi worked as a teacher in Changsha for three years, and an ostrich flew into his residence. Ostrich looks like an owl. It is an ominous bird. Jia Yi was exiled to Changsha, where the climate was very humid. Seeing the owl at this time, she thought that her days were numbered, so she wrote an essay to comfort herself. Wen Fu said:

In the sixth year of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, in April of Ding Chou's year, Xia Meng. One day in April, when the sun was setting, an ostrich stopped at my house. It stops in the corner of the seat, and its shape is very calm. There is a monster parked here, and I secretly wonder why it flies. Open the book to predict its fate: "A wild bird has entered my house, and its owner will leave." I asked the ostrich, "Where am I going? If there is good news, please tell me, even if there is bad news, please explain what disaster it is. Is it good or bad fate, please tell me its term. " The ostrich sighed, raised its head and spread its wings, but its mouth could not speak. Please use the contents of its box to answer:

"The change of everything in time has never stopped. Operation and migration, or going back and forth, everything is changing and moving, uncertain again and again. The mutual transmission between form and qi is continuous, subtle and far-reaching, with no end. Happiness is the cause of misfortune, and misfortune is the root of happiness. Sorrow and joy gather in one door, and good and bad luck are in the same area. Wu was strong, but Fu Cha failed. Yue lives in Huiji Mountain, and Gou Jian dominates the world. Li Si was adept in the State of Qin and achieved success, but eventually he died of five punishments. Fu Shuo worked hard in Yanfu, and Emperor Gaozong of the Yin Dynasty decided that he was a saint and regarded him as a relative. Happiness and misfortune are intertwined, twisted together like a rope, and fate cannot be explained. Who knows what it is? When the current flies, it is excited by foreign objects, either fierce or far, and it varies. Everything is exciting back and forth, and personnel are sometimes interdependent, interactive and capricious. Clouds rain because of the situation, and rain falls because of the cold, and the changes of things are complicated and changeable. The nature of nature pushes everything to move and change endlessly. Heaven is so profound that we can't predict its duration.

Heaven and earth are like the furnace of a metallurgical craftsman, and nature is like a metallurgical craftsman. Yin and Yang cast things, so it is called charcoal, and things are cast by Yin and Yang, so it is called copper. How can there be certain rules for the gathering, dispersion and destruction of life? The ever-changing may not be the ultimate. Being an accidental person, where is it worth cherishing and worrying about? People with shallow wisdom only care about themselves, regard other things as cheap and value themselves. In the eyes of a master, he and everything can adapt to each other, so nothing is inappropriate. Greedy people die for money, but strong people die for fame. People who long for fame die of power, while ordinary people long for life. People who are tempted by power and forced by poverty and lowliness run around, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages; A great man who is in harmony with heaven and earth is not materialistic and treats everything that has changed for hundreds of millions of years equally. Stupid people are implicated in the world and embarrassed like sinners; People with the highest moral standards abandon their possessions and walk with the avenue. People are confused, and they have accumulated a lot of things they love and hate; Those who know the way of heaven and earth are peaceful and quiet, and live alone with the avenue. Give up rational consideration, abandon the body, transcend everything, forget the body, be far-reaching and open, and drift with the Tao. Life is like running water, go with the flow; Entrust your body to fate completely, ignore nature, regard it as your private property, unselfish love, live like drift, die like sleep. Deep as an abyss, comfortable as a boat, floating in the air. Germans are not bound by everything. They know their own destiny and have no sadness. Therefore, there is nothing to doubt about such a trivial matter as an ostrich flying into the house! "
