Oh my! I will have more free time and more free land to store Jiangning and Jiangning. The diseased plum blossoms in Hangzhou and Suzhou need to be cured in their spare time.

Appreciation:

In order to strengthen ideological rule and enslave the people, the feudal rulers of the Qing Dynasty used eight-part essays to strengthen their ideological rule and enslave the people. As a statutory literary style for selecting talents in the imperial examination, it restrains people's thoughts. On the other hand, a literary inquisition was launched to suppress intellectuals. Under the long-term and harsh ideological rule, talents suffered severe suppression and destruction. This article was written in 1839, during the period of opium On the eve of the war, the author Tomei discussed politics, vividly exposing and criticizing the crimes of the feudal rulers of the Qing Dynasty in restraining people's thoughts, suppressing, and destroying talents, and expressing the author's strong desire to reform politics, break the harsh ideological rule, and pursue individual liberation. 2 .

Longpanli in Jiangning, Dengweishan in Suzhou, and Xixi in Hangzhou all produce plum blossoms. Someone said: "Plum blossoms are beautiful because of their curved branches, but they have no grace when they are straight; they are beautiful when their branches are slanted, but they have no scenery when they are upright; they are beautiful when their branches are sparse, but they have no posture when they are dense."

The slanting, sparse, and curved branches of plum blossoms are not something that stupid people who only care about making money can do with their intelligence and ability. Obtained. Someone clearly told the plum sellers the unique preference of the literati and painters, (making them) cut off the straight ones, cultivate the horizontal branches, delete the dense ones, kill the young branches, and hoe off the straight branches. , suppressing its vitality, and seeking high prices in this way: so the plum trees in Jiangsu and Zhejiang became sick and disabled.

The disaster caused by literati and painters has reached this level!

I bought three hundred pots of plums, all of which were sick and disabled, and none of them was intact. I had been crying for them for three days, so I vowed to cure them: I let them go, followed their nature, destroyed the pots, planted all the plums in the ground, untied the brown ropes that tied them; Years are the limit, and they must be restored to their true nature and maintained in a healthy state. I am not a literati or painter, so I am willing to be insulted and set up a sick plum museum to store them.

Alas! How can I have a lot of free time and a lot of free fields to store a large number of diseased plums from Jiangning, Hangzhou, and Suzhou, and spend my whole life treating them? 3. The more plum blossoms are written about in ancient texts, the better

Or say: "Plum blossoms are beautiful when they are curved, but they are shapeless when they are straight; they are beautiful when they are straight, but they have no scenery when they are straight; they are beautiful when they are sparse, but they are shapeless when they are dense." Solid. These literati and painters know what they mean, but they cannot issue an edict to rope all the plum blossoms in the world; nor can they ask the people of the world to cut straight, delete secrets, hoe straight, and use young and diseased plums as a business in order to earn money. . The song of plum blossoms and sparseness is not something that stupid people seeking money can do with their intelligence. There are those who use the idiosyncratic habit of literati and painters to express their opinions on plum blossoms, pruning their straight branches, nurturing their side branches, pruning their dense branches, hoeing their young branches, hoing their straight branches, suppressing their vitality, in order to obtain a high price. However, the plum blossoms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang All are sick. Such is the severity of the disaster for literati and painters!

Read the classical Chinese and answer the questions. Longpan in Jiangning, Deng Wei in Suzhou, and Xixi in Hangzhou all produce plums

1. "Records of the Sick Plum Museum" by Gong Zizhen 2. (1) Plums are made of branches Curved is beautiful, straight has no grace.

(2) As a result, plum blossom lovers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang became sick and disabled. The disaster caused by literati and painters has reached this level! 3. The three quotations, on the surface, explain some people's aesthetic standards for Mei, but in fact they allude to the feudal ruling class's standards for selecting talents.

They kill those talented, upright people with integrity, and specifically select those evil, sycophantic, lifeless mediocre people.

"Guye" means "of course it is so", indicating the concession and transition relationship between the front and back parts: take a step back for the time being and admit that some people have such an aesthetic view of plum blossoms, and then gradually switch to the same point that the author wants to express. The quoted words have the opposite meaning, directly exposing the sinister intentions of "literati and painters" in using this aesthetic concept and the evil deeds of destroying plum blossoms. 6. Ancient prose describing Suzhou

"Suzhou Ode" by Lin Xidan (modern) When three rivers enter, the tremors are settled; all things revive, and the rivers nourish them.

However, on the banks of Sanshan Island, there are human ruins dating back more than 10,000 years; in the Cao Xie Mountain, there are 6,000 rounds of rice cultivation①. The ancestors of Chiyou were extremely powerful in their military battles; the Liangzhu culture was characterized by exquisite jade congs.

The south of the Yangtze River is not Jingman, China has this civilization. Dating back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Taibo came and hooked Wu to establish the country; extending to the Spring and Autumn Period, Helu arose and Wu Yuan built the city.

When the earth tastes water, the capital of Wu is erected in the wilderness; the world is created, and the city gates are lined up with water and land②. The outline of the city is the discipline of the city, and the king's industry is the screen of the vassal.

The military sage made a clever plan, and the Xu River was connected to defeat the powerful Chu; the overlord raised the cauldron, and went out from Jiangdong to wipe out the violent Qin. Canals run through it, and rivers and seas connect it horizontally.

Inside and outside the Changmen, there are endless merchants in Wugeng City; around the river and pond, life from all directions depends on it. There are mountains of goods for collecting and distributing things, and there are forests of sails and rafts for transporting goods from north to south.

The rich and beautiful state is called the city in the southeast; the county governor governs the city, and Wu is based in the center. The bustling crowds are all merchants from far and wide; row after row, they are all merchants with a century-old history.

When the sun rises, thousands of silks will be used to clothe and quilt the world. All taxes come from this; all tributes are lost to the capital.

This prosperous place in Gusu is also the source of growth for Wu County. Now we can benefit from the Shanghai-Nanjing Line and take advantage of the spring of the Yangtze River Delta.

Bordering Shanghai to the east, the city's arrogance radiates; bordering Wuxi to the west, the mountains and rivers of Taihu Lake; Zhejiang to the south, where the private economy has developed; and the Yangtze River to the north, where world trade is frequent. Open a picture of the heaven, splash ink to write that tomorrow will be more beautiful; draw a flat vertical painting, apply color and detail to paint the reality, everything is true.

One body and two wings③, like a roc spreading its wings; the seven districts and five cities are like a group of tigers leaping. The high-tech industries of the times have settled here one after another; the world's top 500 companies are vying to establish themselves.

Determined to develop and explore, dare to be the first for the world. Manufacturing is more important than creation; innovation is more innovative.

Su-style brands sell well; specialty industries are revitalized. Various achievements have led the country; various praises have been received frequently internationally.

The ancient city and the new area are prosperous; the economy, economy and culture win together. Humanities are gathered together, and outstanding people are even more talented.

When Ji Zha hangs up his sword, a gentleman will always be honest; when Lu Ji carries a stone, a filial son will indeed be honest④. Daozi's paintings and Hui's sculptures won the mastery of Seng Yao's pen; Lu Ji's poems, Gao Qi's poems, and Sanyan Menglong Qiyi's essays⑤.

Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang were the three kingdoms in power; Peng, Song and Pan Han were the reason why the Qing Dynasty became famous⑥. There were two schools of calligraphy and painting in the Song Dynasty, and their poems have been read for centuries; there were four schools of calligraphy and painting in the Ming Dynasty, and their calligraphy and painting have been popular to this day⑦.

Tai Bo of the Wu family, the best family in the world; famous sages in the past dynasties, with more than 500 praise tablets⑧. With the title on the gold medal list, the number one scholar has become a specialty; with the advancement of science and technology, academicians have even become the only ones⑨.

Chen Yanqing won the championship in weightlifting; Fei Junlong won the championship in aerospace. The origin of Wu culture and the wisdom of Suzhou people.

Refinedness comes from calmness, and grandeur comes from knowledge. There is no arrogance and impatience, but pragmatic patience.

Refinement, elegance, indifference, and tranquility are all favored by citizens; advocating culture, harmony, innovation, and long-term development are the spirit of the city. Tour historical sites and visit famous places.

Then I walked around Changzhou, rowing boats and brocade sails; I visited Wugong, gathering grass and fragrant paths ⑩. Tiger Hill Sword Pond, the tomb of mystery has been waiting for eternity to be solved; Jiang Feng fishing fire, the sound of the night bell is heard one hundred and eighty times (11).

In the Lion Forest, you will get lost in the lake and rocks before entering the cave; by the Canglang Pavilion, you will be welcomed by the green water before entering the garden. The Hanbi Villa is inlaid with Dharma posts and remains forever in the heaven and earth; the Humble Administrator's Famous Garden is located in a busy city but still in the mountains and forests.

The gardens are the best in the world and the scenery is all over Wuzhong. Taihu Lake, Shihu Lake, Yangcheng Lake, the lakes are beautiful; Dongshan Mountain, Xishan Mountain, Qionglong Mountain, the landscape is beautiful.

Tongli is called rich soil, and Zhouzhuang is called water village. There are world cultural heritages that show their elegance, and intangible cultural heritages that also show their capabilities.

Kun Opera is melodious, flutes and flutes are played gently; Wu language is soft and gentle, and the sound of pipa can be heard. Su embroidery and tapestry are exquisite and elegant; Song brocade and New Year paintings are simple and pure.

The grandeur can be seen from the small details, and it is colorful in art. The charm is also a paradise on earth, and the beauty is the Oriental Water City.

There are hundreds of thousands of houses in the wind and smoke; on both sides of the water port.

There are only three hundred painted bridges; there are countless alleys.

The white walls and black tiles reflect the folk customs; the small bridges and flowing water represent the legend of talented people and beauties. The flowers of spring and autumn bear fruits of inheritance; the charm of the past and the present will continue to be the soul of the city.

The city flower, osmanthus, is fragrant and fragrant; the city tree, camphor, has a canopy that forms a shade. The old house and the new residence are filled with birds chirping and flowers are fragrant; the Lusi Garden is filled with blooming trees and clear water.

Modern facilities are in place step by step; humanistic services keep pace with the times. After 2,500 years of vicissitudes, the city site has not changed; with the help of 36,000 hectares of Taihu Lake, the water town has not changed.

It is so long that it always feels like you are outside the world; it is so beautiful that you feel like you are in a fairyland everywhere. The name is well-deserved. Living in peace is to hope for a healthy and long life; the meaning is not yet exhausted, and the pursuit of happiness should be sharp and refined.

Look at me in Gusu, I am the first to create something, the right time, place and people are always in my favor; I am in love with a well-off society, relying on the historical and cultural heritage; I am destined to have opportunities, and I work hard because of the situation; I do my duty, but take advantage of the situation. And soaring upward. Alas! A hundred cities rival the rest of the world, and Sioux City stands out.

Notes: ① When three rivers enter, the Zhenze will be settled: "Book of Yu Gong": "Three rivers will enter, and the Zhenze will be settled." Zhenze is Taihu Lake.

Paleolithic ruins have been unearthed at Sanshan Island in Taihu Lake, Suzhou; rice grains from 6,000 years ago were unearthed from Caoxie Mountain. ② City gates on land and water side by side: In 514 BC, Wu Zixu built Helu City, with eight water and land gates each. Zuo Si's "Ode to Wu Du" states: "Twenty-eight gates lead to water and land thoroughfares."

③One body, two wings: According to the approval of the State Council, in order to protect the ancient city, an industrial park was established in the east of Sioux City and a national high-tech development zone was set up in the west, known as "one body, two wings". ④ Ji Zha hangs the sword; Lu Ji records the stone: Ji Zha, the fourth son of Zhufan, King of Wu, has a virtuous voice, went on an envoy to hire Jin, and brought a sword to pass by Xu Jun.

Xu Jun watched the sword and attacked it without saying a word. Because Ji Zha had an envoy from his superior country, he could not give him a gift.

When Xu Jun passed away, he hung the sword on the tree in front of Xu Jun's tomb to show his sincerity. Lu Ji was the dutiful son of the deceased relative Hua Ju among the Twenty-four Filial Piety, and later served as the prefect of Yulin and returned to Suzhou. Because he was honest and upright, and had no long-term possessions, it was difficult to cross the sea with an empty ship, so he returned home with stones as ballast, and he was known as "Lian Shi".

⑧The best family in the world; there are more than 500 praise tablets: "Historical Records": "The Wu Taibo family is the best." Canglang Pavilion has the "Five Hundred Sages Temple", with portraits and inscriptions of 594 sages who lived in Su from Taibo to the Qing Dynasty.

⑨ The number one scholar has become a specialty; academicians are even more prosperous: Wang Wanda of the Qing Dynasty has two Suzhou specialties, one of which is "the number one scholar". The number one scholar in Suzhou in the Qing Dynasty accounted for 22.81% of the total number of number one scholars in the country.

Suzhou ranks first among similar cities in the country in terms of academicians from the two academies. ⑩Cheung Chau, Jin Fan; Wu Gong,. 7. The Story of the Plum Garden, Zou Hao’s classical Chinese translation of Lingnan Duomei

The original text and translation of Song Zou Hao’s original text and translation of The Story of the Plum Garden, Volume 26 of the Collection of Daoxiang, by Song Zou Hao

p> There are many plum blossoms in Lingnan, but the natives regard them as nothing but a good thing, and they don’t know how to appreciate them. Yu Zhi lives in Zhaoping, where he lives in Wang's Pavilion. In the back half of the mountain, there is a tree several feet around, several feet high, and a shade of forty steps. I didn't go out to the door, and I didn't see how it looked like. When I asked the natives, they said it was rare compared to this one. However, this plant is located to the east of Wang's house. It is used as a road through it and attached to its body as a fence. It is surrounded by hazel thorns and thorns, which are competing to grow on its left and right sides. I was tempted by it for a long time, but I didn't dare to change it because of Wang's theory of good and bad luck based on yin and yang. When I encounter a flower, I just wander to the side of the road, lean against the fence, and enjoy it to the fullest. I want to invite a guest to have a drink, but there is no place for grass.

One day I was sitting in the pavilion and heard the sound of breaking bamboo in the mountains. I stared at him in horror. Then the Wang family followed the road and added fences to benefit the passage of time. Xinran said: It’s time! It’s time! The envoys were ordered to find a way back, remove the fence, and look at the clumps of hazel thorns and cut them off. They walked hundreds of paces around them and laid them out as a garden. Not long after, the plum blossoms stood tall and high in the sky. This is like Yi Yin releasing his work and receiving coins, like Lu Wang throwing his pole and boarding the chariot, like Zhou Gong saying goodbye to Bai Yu's rumors and undressing and embroidering his clothes. On the day of returning to the west, I looked forward to Mount Long, looked back to the Immortal Palace, looked to the left at the Wei altar, and to the right looked at the Buddha. The atmosphere is endless, and it is all in the spirit of plum blossoms.

The heaven and earth are the heaven and earth of the past; the mountains and rivers are the mountains and rivers of the past.

And when you look up and down, the plum blossoms are different, and the plum fruits are different? The result is no different? Although Mei is speechless, I know it. The obscurity of the past is not due to the loss of plum blossoms, but the time has come; the appearance of the present is not due to the gain of plum blossoms, but the time has come. People see plum blossoms in time, and plum blossoms are from their origin and roots, and have been fixed since ancient times. Therefore, although Shouyang's makeup is not excessive, and Fu Shuo's pottery is not considered a misfortune, but if he notices the difference, he will ridicule him in front of him. I drink with my guests.

The original text and translation of Zou Hao of the Song Dynasty in "The Book of Daoxiang Collection Volume 26" of the Plum Garden

Translation:

There are many plum trees in Lingnan, and the locals regard them as It is regarded as firewood. People who are not very fond of plum blossoms do not know how to appreciate and play with them. I live in Zhaoping, where I live in a house owned by a family named Wang. Behind the house, on the hillside, there is a plum tree several feet high, surrounded by a plum tree, several feet high, and the canopy of the tree covers an area of ??forty steps. I usually stay indoors and have never seen how other plum trees look like. When I asked the locals, they all said that there are few that can compare with this one. However, this plum tree is to the east of Wang's house. (Wang) passed through the shade of the tree to pave the road and made a fence around the plum tree. There are also clusters of bamboo and hazel thorns competing to grow next to the plum tree. . I have been attracted to this plum tree for a long time, but seeing Wang's rigid interpretation of yin and yang as good and bad, I dare not make any changes. Soon it was the flower blooming season, so I could only linger by the roadside, leaning against the fence in vain, enjoying the natural happiness with him. I want to invite a guest to have a drink, but I can't find a place where *** can sit and have a heart-to-heart talk.

One day while sitting in the pavilion, I suddenly heard the sound of chopping bamboo from the mountains, so I went to take a look with my cane. It turned out that Wang was about to add a fence along the road for more benefits in the future. I happily said: "It's just right! It's just right! I persuaded them to let the road go around the plum tree, move the fence back away from the plum tree, and cut down the clumps of bamboo and miscellaneous trees when they see them, so that we can surround the plum tree for hundreds of steps. , circled it and formed a garden. It didn't take long for the plum trees to look dignified, tall and straight, reaching into the sky. It looked like Yi Yin put down the farm tools to accept the gift, and Lu Wang dropped it. Fishing rod and boarding the car, just like Zhou Gong wearing the emperor's clothes after dispelling the rumors. Later, when I returned to the west, the endless mountains in front of me were winding like a swimming dragon, and the infinite scenery back was as moving as a fairy palace; look at this tree again. The old tree, with the Tao on the left and the Buddha on the right, has endless atmosphere, all in the spirit of this plum tree.

That day was still the same as before, and the mountains and rivers were still the same. And when you look up and down, the plum blossoms are different. Is there any difference? Although the plum tree didn't say anything, I understand the reason why it was eclipsed in the past. It's luck: Today's prominence is not due to Mei's achievements, but to luck. People look at plum trees because of different fortunes, and the character of plum trees has its own roots, which has existed since ancient times. That's why Princess Shouyang is decorated with plum blossoms. I don't think it is a vulgarity, and Fu said that using plums to make tea is not a disaster. What's more, with my narrow and one-sided view, how can I make such a trivial comment in front of the plum tree? Have a drink.
