The writing background of reading books

In the second year of Qingyuan (1 196), Zhu and his disciples, Cai Shen and Huang Zhong came to Wuyitang on the edge of Shuanglin Temple in Fushan (now Zhushan Village, lichuan county Township) to give lectures and wrote a poem "Fushan". During this period, he traveled between Cheng Nan and Nanfeng. Now, at the invitation of Li Yuanji and Deng, he wrote an Inscription of Sergeant Jianchang, which greatly praised Jianchang talents. At the invitation of Wu Lun and Wu Chang brothers in Hamawo Village, Shangtang, Nancheng County, he gave lectures in the village, wrote Rongmu Xuan for Wu's guild hall, Book House for reading pavilion and Shecang Ji for the Shecang founded by Wu brothers. In the village, he also wrote a famous poem "Ask the canal so clear that there is flowing water at the source" ("Reading"). After Zhu left the village, the villagers changed Toawo village to Yuantou village. In the Republic of China, a living water town (now Shangtang Town) was built in memory of Zhu. The rock wall of Nanfeng Ceng Gong is engraved with the word "Yan Shu" inscribed by Zhu, and the wall of the small pool under the cave is engraved with the word "Mo Chi" inscribed by Zhu.

2. Reading Two Thoughts is a set of poems written by Zhu, a scholar in Southern Song Dynasty. These two poems describe his feelings of "reading" and reveal profound philosophy with vivid images.

one

Half an acre of square pond opened, and the sky was overcast.

How can the canal be so clear? Because there is inexhaustible living water for it.

Secondly,

Last night on the Ross River, the huge warship was as light as a feather.

It used to take a lot of effort to push it, but today it can move in the middle of water.

3. Translation:

one

Half an acre of square pond is as clear and clean as a mirror.

The sky and clouds are shining and floating on the water.

Why is the water in the pond so clear?

It is because there is an inexhaustible source that continuously delivers living water to it.

Secondly,

Last night, the spring by the river rose sharply.

That great ship is as light as a feather.

Many efforts in the past could not be pushed forward.

Today, you can move freely in the water.
