Translation of The Flying Crane Pavilion

Song sushi

In the tenth year of Xining, Pengcheng was flooded. Zhang Jun Caotang, Water and Its Half-life in Yunlong Mountain. The next spring, the water fell and moved to the east of the former residence, at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. If you look up, you will get a different situation and build a pavilion on it. Pengcheng Mountain and Linggang Mountain are four-in-one, which are hidden as a big ring. Without its west side, Shanren Pavilion is suitable. At the turn of spring and summer, there are trees and grass; Snow in autumn and winter, thousands of miles away; Between wind and rain, the pitch is changeable.

Mountain people have two cranes, which are very tame and good at flying, but when they look at what is missing in the western hills, they will put it down, or stand in the fields or fly to the clouds; At dusk, I will return to Dongshan. Therefore, it was named "Where Pavilion".

Su Shi, the county magistrate, went to see the villagers from the current official of Binzuo and drank and had fun in the pavilion. He told the villagers, "Do you know the happiness of seclusion? Although it is the southern king, it is not easy to change. " "Yi" says: "The crane is in the shade, and its son is in harmony. "Poetry" says: "The crane is heard in Jiugao, and its voice is heard in the sky. "Cover it as a thing, Qingyuan is idle, detached from the dust, so an old friend is easy, and a gentleman is not as good as a sage. He who hides his virtue should play with it, if it is beneficial and harmless; However, a good crane in Wei Yigong will destroy its country. Duke Zhou wrote "Wine" and Duke Wu of Wei wrote "Restraint", arguing that there was no confusion and defeat. Disciples of Liu Ling and Ruan Ji are famous for their truth. Hey, honey! Nanwang, Qingyuan is as idle as a crane, but it is still not good, and good will destroy its country; And the hermit in the deep mountain forest, although confused and defeated like wine, can't do harm, but what's the harm? From this perspective, it cannot be mentioned in the same breath. " The mountain man smiled and said, "Yes!" This is a song about letting cranes fly and inviting them:

In the autumn of the tenth year of Xining, Pengcheng was flooded, and the water in Zhangjun Caotang in Yunlong Mountain was less than half of his home. The following spring, when the flood came, Yunlong Mountain people moved to the east of their former residence. At the foot of Dongshan Mountain, I climbed high and saw a strange situation. So he built a pavilion on the mountain. Pengcheng Mountain, the mountains are closed on all sides, vaguely like a big circle; It's just that there is a gap in the west, and the pavilion of Yunlong Mountain people is just facing that gap. When spring and summer alternate, the vegetation is lush and seems to be close to the sky; Snow and bright moon in autumn and winter are thousands of miles apart. Rain or shine, it changes rapidly. The mountain man has two cranes, very docile and good at flying. In the morning, let them fly to the gap in the western hills, where they fly, sometimes in the fields on the hillside, sometimes outside the sea of clouds in Wan Li; I flew back to Dongshan in the evening, so I named this pavilion "He Fangting".

Su Shi, the county magistrate, took the guests to visit the mountain people and drank and had fun in this pavilion. Bow to the mountain man and tell him, "Do you know the happiness of seclusion? Even a respected monarch in the south can't exchange with him. " "Yi" says:' When a crane cries in the north, its little crane will answer it.' The Book of Songs says,' He Ming is deep in the water, and his voice reaches the sky.' Probably cranes are pure, far-reaching, carefree, broad-minded and beyond the secular, so they are compared to saints and gentlemen in the Book of Changes and the Book of Songs. People who don't show virtue, get close to it and play with it, it should look beneficial and harmless. But Wei Yigong's love for cranes ruined his country. Duke Zhou wrote about wine, and Duke Wu of Wei wrote about restraint, arguing that nothing can cause absurd disasters like wine. And people like Liu Ling and Ruan Ji are praised by later generations because they rely on this to preserve their authenticity. Alas, even if the monarch facing south is quiet, deep, carefree and broad-minded, like a crane, he can't enjoy it too much. Too much love will ruin his country. A saint who lives in seclusion in the mountains outside the secular world, even if he is as absurd, confused, depressed and confused as a drinker, can't be a scourge, let alone a love for cranes. From this point of view, the pleasure of a monarch is not the same as that of a hermit. "The mountain man smiled happily and said," That makes sense! "So, I wrote" Let the cranes fly and invite songs ":

"The crane flies high in the gap of the western hills, overlooking the place where it goes, and suddenly folds its wings as if it were going to fall; Suddenly I saw something and I flew into the air again. I was alone in the ravine all day, pecking at the moss and stepping on the big white stone. " "The crane flew back to the north of Dongshan. There are people below, wearing yellow hats, straw sandals, linen, playing the strings, farming by themselves, and the rest can feed you. Come back, Xishan won't stay long. "
