It is not "Hemu Ji". There is no such classical Chinese text. It should be "Henan Zhou Ji".

Utensils, people, even birds, beasts, wood and stones are all pictographic and have their own moods according to the situation. I tasted the remaining nuclear boat, and the clouds covered the red cliff.

The length of the boat from head to tail is about eight minutes, and its height is about two millimeters. The open one in the middle pavilion is the cabin, covered with a awning. There are small windows on the side, four on each side and eight on the left. Open the window and look at each other with carved railings. If it is closed, the right side will be inscribed with "The mountain is high and the moon is small, and the water will come out," and the left side will be inscribed with "The breeze is coming slowly, and the water waves will be sluggish." The stone will be green and gritty.

There are three people sitting on the bow of the boat. In the middle, the one with the crown of E and many beards is Dongpo, the one with Foyin is on the right, and the one with Lu Zhi is on the left. Su and Huang *** read a hand scroll. Dongpo held the scroll in his right hand and stroked Lu's back with his left hand. Lu Zhi held the end of the scroll in his left hand and fingered the scroll with his right hand, as if he had something to say. Dongpo's right foot is shown, and Lu Zhi's left foot is shown, each slightly sideways, with the two knees facing each other hidden in the folds of the clothes at the bottom. The Buddha's seal is very similar to Maitreya, with his breasts exposed, his head raised and his eyes raised, his expression is not that of Su Huang. He lay down on his right knee, right arm bent up to support a boat, and put up his left knee, hanging a rosary on his left arm and leaning against it - the number of beads can come out clearly.

The stern of the boat lies horizontally. There is one boatman on the left and right. The person on the right has her back in a bun, with her left hand leaning on a rung, and her right hand holding her right toes, as if whistling. The person on the left is holding a palm fan in his right hand and stroking the stove with his left hand. There is a pot on the stove. He is looking up and looking calm, as if listening to the sound of tea.

The back of the ship is slightly flat, and there is an inscription on it. The text reads: "On the autumn day of Renxu, Wang Yishu of Yushan just carved it when he was far away." Another seal seal is used, and the text is "People from Pingshan at the beginning", which is red in color.

A total of one boat, five people, eight windows, one bamboo canopy, one 楫, one stove, one pot, one hand scroll, and one rosary; couplets, titles, and seal scripts are the characters** *Four out of thirty. However, considering its length, it has never been enough. This is done by covering the peach core and repairing the narrowness.

After Wei Zi finished looking at it carefully, he said in surprise: Hey, your skills are also very strange! According to "Zhuang" and "Lie", there are many people who say that they are astonished as ghosts and gods. However, who has to be careful about the quality of things and not understand them clearly? If anyone were to accuse me of my words, I would be suspicious of his deceit. Now I see it with my own eyes. From this point of view, the end of the thorn may not necessarily be a female monkey. Hee, your skills are amazing!

——Excerpted from "Yu Chu Xin Zhi" typed by the Literary Ancient Books Publishing House

Translation

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Wang Shuyuan who was very skilled in craftsmanship. He can use wood about an inch in diameter to carve palaces, vessels, figures, birds, animals, trees and stones, and all of them are carved to simulate the physical state according to the original shape of the wood, so each carving has its own interesting expression. He once gave me a small boat carved from a peach stone, which was engraved with the scene of Su Dongpo boating to visit Red Cliff.

The nuclear boat is about eight minutes long from beginning to end and about two minutes high. The raised and spacious place in the middle is the cabin, which is covered with a bamboo canopy. There are small windows on both sides of the cabin, four on the left and four on the right, for a total of eight. Open the window and you can see the carved ship railings, facing each other on the left and right. When you close the window, you can see the Chinese characters "The mountain is high and the moon is small, the water will come to light" engraved on the right window, and the Chinese characters "The breeze blows slowly, the water is calm" engraved on the left window, both painted with azurite color.

There are three people sitting on the bow. Among them, the one wearing a tall hat and full beard is Su Dongpo, on the right is the monk Foyin, and on the left is Huang Luzhi. Su and Huang were looking at a hand scroll. Dongpo held the right end of the scroll in his right hand and rested his left hand on Lu Chi's back. Lu Zhi was holding the end of the scroll in his left hand and pointing at the scroll with his right hand, as if he was speaking something. Dongpo showed his right foot, Huang his left foot, each leaning slightly to the side. Their knees touching each other were visible in the folds of their clothes under the scroll. The Buddha's seal is very much like the Maitreya Buddha, with his mind open and his breasts exposed, looking up at the sky. His expression is different from that of Su and Huang. He squared his right knee, bent his right arm to support the boat, and raised his left leg up at the knee. His left arm hung rosary beads and rested on his left knee. The rosary beads could be counted clearly one by one.

There is an oar placed across the stern of the boat. There is a boatman on each side of the oar. The one on the right has a vertebral bun, lying on his back, leaning on a crossbar with his left hand, and holding his right toes with his right hand, as if he was pursing his lips and whistling. The man on the left holds a palmetto fan in his right hand and is touching the stove with his left hand. There is a kettle on the stove. The man is looking at the tea stove with a calm face, as if he is listening to the sound of tea boiling.

The bottom of this boat is relatively flat, so I inscribed a name on it. The inscription is "On the autumn day of Renxu, Wang Yishu of Yushan was just engraved when he was far away". The strokes were as thin as a mosquito's feet. The hooks and strokes are clear and the characters are black. A seal with seal characters was also used. The text was "Chu Pingshan People" in red color.

In total, there are five people engraved on this boat, eight windows, a bamboo canopy, a paddle, a tea stove, a kettle, a hand scroll, and a rosary; couplets, titles, seals, and engraved words* **There are thirty-four. But when measured, the length of the nuclear boat was less than an inch. This was originally carved from long and narrow peach stones.

After Wei Zi looked at the nuclear boat carefully, he exclaimed: Oh, the skill is really amazing! There are many skilled craftsmen recorded in the books "Zhuangzi" and "Liehzi" who are praised as miraculous craftsmen. But who can carve freely on less than an inch of material with a knife, and can carve clearly even his beard and eyebrows? Chu's? If someone like that told me what I said, I would definitely suspect him of lying. But now this is a fact that I have witnessed with my own eyes. Judging from this work, it is not necessarily impossible to carve a female monkey from the tip of the thornwood thorn. Oh, the skills are really amazing!

4 About the author

Zhang Juan (approximately 660-740), courtesy name Wencheng, self-named Fuxiuzi, was born in Luze, Shenzhou (now Shenxian County, Hebei Province), and is a novelist of the Tang Dynasty Home. He was promoted to Jinshi in the year of Gaozong Li Zhi's Tiaolu. At that time, the famous scholar Jian Weiwei read his examination papers and sighed that he was "unparalleled in the world" and was appointed to join the army in Prince Qi's palace. After that, he took the exams in eight subjects, such as "writing into a chapter", "high talents and low positions", and "Ci Biao Wenyuan", and was ranked first every time. He was transferred to Chang'an County Lieutenant and promoted to Honglu Cheng. During this period, he participated in four calligraphy evaluation examinations, and the judgments he drafted were rated first. Banqian, a well-known essayist at the time and a member of the Ministry of Water Resources, said that he was like the finest bronze coins, and he was chosen among ten thousand. As a result, he won the nickname "Qingqian Bachelor" among scholars. This nickname later became an allusion and became a synonym for those who are talented and knowledgeable and succeed repeatedly in trials. When Empress Wu became a saint (695), she was promoted to censor. 6. Translation of the classical Chinese text about drilling wood to make fire

1. Drilling wood to make fire:

1. Original text: “In the beginning of time immemorial, people sucked the liquid and ate grass and solid trees, and lived in the mountains. If they eat birds and beasts, they will wear their feathers and skins, and if they are close to the water, they will eat fish, turtles, clams, etc. They will not be burned, and they will have a lot of fishy smell, which is harmful to the stomach. So a sage came out, who was the King of Fire Virtue, made a drill and made fire, and taught people to cook food. , Forged gold blades, the people were very happy, and they were called Sunsuiren."

2. Translation: In the early days, people sucked the essence of dewdrops, ate grass and trees, and lived in the mountains with birds and beasts. For food, they use animal skins as clothing, and when they live near water, they eat fish, turtles, clams, and clams. These aquatic things are not roasted by fire and have a fishy smell, which is harmful to the intestines and stomach. Then a sage appeared, and he became king because he was virtuous in using fire. He created and made drills to draw out flames, taught people how to make cooked food, and cast and smelted metals to make weapons and blades. The people were very happy because of this and called him the Suiren Man. ”

2. The Sui people drilled wood to make fire

1. Original text: Suiming Kingdom ① did not know the four seasons of day and night, and there was a fire tree named Suimu, which spread over thousands of hectares ②.

There will be saints in later generations who travel beyond the sun and the moon, and when they reach their country, they rest under this tree. If there is a bird like an owl④, when it pecks at the tree, brilliant fire will come out. The sage was so moved that he used twigs to drill into the fire, so he was called Sui Ren.

2. Notes: ① Suiming Country: The legendary name of the country. ② Qupan ten thousand hectares: Qupan covers an area of ??ten thousand hectares. ③Yu: Same as "Yu". ④Owl: Owl (ch xi o), a family of birds with a large head, short and curved beak, eats rats, rabbits, insects and other small animals, which is beneficial to agriculture. ⑤Sui: pronounced as su.

3. Translation: Suiming Kingdom. But there is no sunlight here, day or night, darkness everywhere, and no fire at all. The young man was very disappointed and sat under a big tree called "Suimu" to rest. Suddenly, a bright light flashed before the young man's eyes, and then flashed again, illuminating the surrounding area very brightly. The young man immediately stood up and looked around for the source of light. At this time, he found that there were several big birds on the Suimu tree using their short and hard beaks to peck at the worms on the tree. As soon as they peck, bright sparks flash out on the tree. When the young man saw this scene, an idea flashed in his mind. He immediately broke off some branches of Suimu and used the small branches to drill into the big branches. Sure enough, there was fire on the branches, but there was no fire. The young man was not discouraged. He found various branches and patiently rubbed them with different branches. Finally, smoke began to rise from the branches, and then there was fire. The young man shed tears of joy.

The young people returned to their hometown and brought people a fire that would never go out - the method of drilling wood to make fire. From then on, people no longer had to live in cold and fear. People were impressed by the young man's courage and wisdom, elected him as their leader, and called him "Suiren", which means fire maker. 7. A classical Chinese essay on seeking fish from a tree

The king said: "No, how can I do it so quickly? I will seek my great desire."

King Xuan said: "No, I have some objections to this. What kind of happiness is it? I want to use this to realize my greatest wish."

He said: "What is the king's great desire?"

Mencius asked: " Can you tell me your greatest wish?"

The king smiled and said nothing.

King Xuan smiled but did not answer.

Said: "Because fat and sweetness are not enough for the mouth? Light and warmth are not enough for the body? Or are the colors not enough for the eyes? The sound is not enough for the ears to hear? The taste is not enough for the front. ? All the king's ministers have enough to provide for them, but why should the king do so?"

Mencius asked: "Is it because the rich and sweet food is not enough for the stomach and the soft and warm clothes are not enough for the body? Are the bright colors not enough for the eyes? Are the wonderful music not enough for the ears? Are the servants on the left and right not enough? These are all provided by the king. Is this what the king wants? "No, I don't do that."

King Xuan said, "No, I don't do that."

He said, "The king's great desire is to open up land." He went to Qin and Chu to come to China and seek what he wanted, just like asking for fish by relying on trees."

Mencius said: "Then the king's greatest wish can be known. I just want to expand the territory, let Qin and Chu come to worship, rule the Central Plains, and appease the surrounding peoples. (However,) pursuing and realizing your wishes by your own methods is like climbing a tree to catch fish.

The king said: "What if it's serious?"

King Xuan said: "Is it that serious?"

He said: "It's almost impossible. I'm trying to find a fish by chance. If you don't catch fish, there will be no disaster later. If you do what you want and do it with all your heart, there will be disaster later." Mencius said: "I'm afraid it will be worse than this! Even if you can't catch the fish, there will be no trouble. If you try your best to realize your wish, there will be disaster in the end. ?"

King Xuan asked: "Can you tell me the truth? /p>

Mencius said: "The state of Zou is fighting against the state of Chu. Who do you think will win?"

He said: "The people of Chu will win."

King Xuan said: " Chu will win."

Said: "However, a small solid cannot defeat a large one, a small solid cannot defeat a large number, and a weak solid cannot defeat a strong one.

With one serving eight, why is it different from Zou fighting against Chu? It is also contrary to its nature⑧. Now the king is promoting benevolence, so that all officials in the world want to establish themselves in the king's dynasty, all farmers want to cultivate in the king's fields, all merchants want to hide in the king's city, all travelers want to go on the king's road, and all the people in the world want to harm the king. Go to the king. If so, who can control it?

Mencius said: "It is so. A small party cannot be hostile to a large party; a small party cannot be hostile to a large party; a weak party cannot be hostile to a strong party." There are nine pieces of land that are thousands of miles square in the world. The land of Qi State is cut off to make up for the shortcomings, and they are gathered together to occupy one of them. Relying on this one area to conquer the other eight areas, what is the difference between Zou State and Chu State? (Your Majesty) Why not go back to the fundamentals of (benevolent government)? If now the king issues decrees and implements benevolent policies, all the officials in the world will think of the king's court, farmers who serve in the king's fields will want to work in the king's fields, merchants will want to do business in the king's market, and travelers will want to travel on the king's road. , people from all over the world who hate their king want to come and tell you. If this is achieved, who can stop the king from unifying the world? ”
