Cold kiln fu original text

Accidents will happen. Scolopes has a hundred feet and can't walk like a snake; The rooster has two wings, but he can't fly over the crow. A horse has a journey of a thousand miles, and it can't be done without riding it; People are ambitious, but they can't be self-sufficient unless they are lucky.

Gavin: In this world, wealth can't be lewd, and poverty can't be moved. The article is overwhelming, Confucius is in Bang Chen; Excellent martial arts, squire fishing in Weihe River. Yan Yuan's life is short, he is not a vicious person; Stealing feet is old, so he is a kind person. Emperor Yao was wise, but he gave birth to a black sheep; Gu Sou is stupid, but he is a filial son. Zhang Liangyuan is a civilian, and Xiao He is called a county magistrate. Yan Zi, who was less than five feet tall, was appointed Prime Minister of Qi. Kongming, who lives in the thatched cottage, can become a strategist of Shu Han.

Although Chu Ba was a hero, he was defeated by Wujiang River and committed suicide. Although Hanwang is weak, it has Wan Li. Li Guang has the power to shoot tigers, not to be old; Feng Tang has the talent of Lapras, but he has never met him in his life. When Han Xin didn't meet, he didn't have three meals a day. When we met, there was a three-foot decree hanging around our waist. Once he declined and died at the hands of Yin people.

Have a plenty of poor before getting rich, have a plenty of young and old Xian Yi. Full article, white hair actually missed; I am just a scholar, a teenager and a student. Gonge in the deep courtyard was transported back to be a prostitute; A romantic prostitute, when the time comes, deserves to be a wife. Young and beautiful, but a stupid husband; Handsome husband, against ugly wife. Dragons don't meet, fish and turtles dive; When a gentleman loses time, he makes a villain.

Although the clothes are worn, they always look polite; With a sad face, always holding a peaceful amount. When in trouble, just be poor and keep your share; If you don't cheat your heart, you will be proud. A poor gentleman is born with bone formation; A rich little man can't get rid of poverty and cold body.

When the weather is bad, the sun and the moon have no light; When the land is out of time, vegetation will not grow; The water is not timely and the wind and waves are uneven; People don't have time, and profits will not work. Pay attention to wealth and wealth, life has been arranged, who doesn't want wealth? If people don't follow the basic horoscope, how can they have intimate relationships?

I used to live in Luoyang, begging for a monk's food. I stayed in the cellar at dusk, thinking that clothes could not cover my body and that food could not satisfy my hunger. People here hated it, people here hated it, and people here were mean to me. I never gave up. Living in the imperial court today, the official position is the best. Although I bow to one person, I rank above ten million people. I have a staff to attack a hundred people, a sword to cut down the base, and a thousand boxes of Luo Jin to think about clothes. When I think about food, I have a wonderful taste. I will be whipped by a strong man when I leave. When I enter, I will be favored by a beautiful woman and hugged by an inferior person. Humanism is what I cherish, which is beyond my ability. This is time, luck and fate.

Hoo hoo! In this world, wealth is inexhaustible, poverty is not self-deception, and listening to the cycle of heaven and earth is endless.

Translation of Cold Kiln Fu

The weather is unpredictable, and people will encounter disasters and happy events sooner or later. A centipede has hundreds of feet, but it can't walk as well as a snake. Although domestic chickens have big wings, they can't fly like birds. Although a horse can walk thousands of miles, it can't reach its destination by itself if no one controls it. People have lofty ideals, but they can't achieve them without opportunities.

People often say: in life, wealth can't be lewd, and poverty can't be moved. Confucius wrote more articles than anyone else in the world, but he was besieged by Chen. Jiang Ziya, a gifted writer, had been waiting for an opportunity to make a fortune in Weishui. Although Yan Hui, a student of Confucius, died early, he was by no means a cruel man. Stealing feet, although living long, is not a kind person. Although Yao and Shun were clever, they gave birth to a black sheep.

Shun's father was stubborn and stupid, but he gave birth to a son who was as filial as Shun. Originally just an ordinary person, and Xiao He is just a county magistrate. Yan Zi was less than five feet tall, but he was appointed as the prime minister of Qi. Living in a thatched cottage, you can act as a strategist of Shu.

Although Xiang Yu was strong, he was defeated and committed suicide in Wujiang River. Although Liu Bang was weak, he finally gained state power. Li Guang, a general of the Han Dynasty, had a reputation for beating tigers and stones, but he never won this title. Although Feng Tang has the talent to run the country and keep the country safe, he has never met his talent in his life. When Han Xin is unlucky, he can't even eat. Luck came, and he became a handprint general. Once his luck fell, he died of the trick of a malicious person.

Some people get rich first and then poor, and some older rich children decline. Full of splendid articles, I haven't been admitted to the old age; A person with little knowledge may become the first when he is young. In the turmoil, the emperor's concubine E may become a concubine prostitute, a romantic prostitute, and a lucky lady. A beautiful young woman married a stupid husband, but a handsome young man found an ugly wife.

The dragon has no chance but to hide between the fish and the turtle. When a gentleman has no chance, he can only give in to a villain. Although the clothes are worn out, they often maintain respect and etiquette. Although they are sad, they may have the ambition to help the world. When you are frustrated, you can only be content with poverty and duty. If you are open-minded, you will be proud one day. A gentleman is poor and arrogant, and a villain is rich and can't get rid of his inner poverty.

When the weather is bad, you can't see the brilliance of the sun and the moon; When the land has no suitable climatic conditions, vegetation will not grow. If water can't get its proper environment, it will set off great winds and waves; People don't get a chance, and good luck won't go smoothly. Everyone has a plan to get rich. Who doesn't want it? If people don't live according to the eight virtues, where can they be senior officials and prime ministers?

Before I was in Luoyang, I was a vegetarian in the temple during the day and lived in a cold cave at night. Clothes you wear can't keep out the cold, and porridge and rice you eat can't resist hunger. People at higher levels hate me, and people at lower levels hate me and call me mean, but I have no chance. Now I am an official in the DPRK, with the highest position, reaching the three public positions, ranking only below the emperor and above tens of millions of people. I have the right to manage hundreds of officials and punish mean and stingy officials.

Wearing brocade and eating delicacies. When I went out, I was protected by the samurai. When I go home, I have servants to serve me. The emperor dotes on me and his ministers support me. It's not that I really have much skill But I was blessed by the weather and fate.

Therefore, people living in the world can't enjoy themselves when they are rich, and don't give up on themselves when they are poor. Listen to the cycle of heaven and earth!
