Classical Chinese with 220 crosses.

Rou follows his brother, Yuan Shaozhi's nephew, also known as Hebei Rou, Rou follows his family. Wool (1) pole, with soft as the length of the tube.

His name is a household name in the county, and a group of corrupt officials brought it in by themselves. Jou-chiao said, "I was lucky to be in politics in the past, but I tolerated those officials. What's more, these officials didn't do anything wrong! Call back. "

Salt is also self-motivated, and salt is a good official. Gao Qian fell, and someone betrayed Bing.

Soft from Mao, Mao wants to punish, thinking that history is assassinated; When the law is proper, the prison is free, and it is the prime minister's warehouse. Advocating (2) Song and Jin fled to Hefei.

In the old law, the army died of conscription and his wife was tested. Mao's suffering is endless, and his type is more important.

Gold has a mother, a wife and a second brother, all of whom were given to the official, and the master killed them all. Ruan Qi said: "It is a fact that soldiers died in the army, but when they overheard it, they sometimes regretted it.

Stupid means it is appropriate to lend it to your wife. One is to make the thief disbelieve, and the other is to lure him back to his heart. Just like a criminal record, it's completely unexpected, and accusations keep coming. I'm afraid that since I'm in the army today, I'll kill myself and I'll go with them. I can't kill them anymore.

This heavy punishment is not to stop death, but to benefit the ear. "Mao said," good. "

Even if we don't kill Kim's mother and brother, many people will survive. Emperor Wendi (3) practiced the law, treated books with gentleness, served the imperial censor, and gave it to Guan Neihou.

There are slanderers among the people, some are sick by the emperor, some are killed by slanderers, and some are rewarded. He said softly, "Those who speak evil words will be killed today, and those who speak evil words will be rewarded.

Even if there is no road to anti-goodness, it will gradually lead to vicious and cunning groups slandering each other. If it is not true, it will save the lawsuit. For me, it is better to punish evil and promote good, and reduce the kindness of the Father. "The emperor is not from, and falsely accused.

Naidi issued a letter: "Those who dare to sue slander will also be accused of crimes." So I gave up.

The emperor wants to stay suspicious and bend the law to punish the book and enforce the law (4) to protect the training, but he is stubborn and does not obey the imperial edict. The emperor was very angry and called Rouyitai (5); The messenger promised Tingwei to check Honor, and Honor was ordered to send Rou back to the temple.

Note: ① Mao: Cao Cao. (2) Advocates: Advocates in the army.

3 Wendi: Cao Pi. 4 law enforcement: official position.

⑤ Taiwan Province: Shangshutai. ⑥ Temple: Tingwei official office.

Guan Zhong: Volume 62 of Historical Records, Biography of Yan Guan, is the second pass. I often travel with Bao Shu's teeth, and Bao Shu knows his talent.

Guan Zhong was poor and often bullied Uncle Bao, but Uncle Bao finally satisfied him well and didn't take it for granted. Bao Shu worked for the son of Qi, and Guan Zhong worked for Gong Zijiu.

Xiao Bai made Huan Gong, the son died for a long time, and Guan Zhong was imprisoned. Uncle Bao then went into Guanzhong.

It is also Guan Zhong's plan to use it to take office in Qi State, monopolize it, unite with the nine kings and conquer the world. Guan Zhong said, "I tasted Bao Shujia when I was in trouble and shared wealth with him. Uncle Bao didn't treat me as greedy and knew I was poor.

I tried to find a job for Uncle Bao, and I was poorer. Uncle Bao doesn't think I'm stupid, but he knows when it's good or bad. I have tasted three officials and three people, and I am driven by you. Uncle Bao doesn't think I'm evil, but he knows I'm not in trouble.

I have tasted three wars and three walks, and Uncle Bao is not afraid of me, knowing that I have an old mother. Miyako was defeated for a long time and was called to die suddenly. My prisoner was humiliated. Bao Shu doesn't regard me as * * *, knowing that I am not ashamed of trifles and my fame is not seen by the world.

My parents know steamed stuffed bun. "Bao Shu in the guanzhong, and under him.

Shilu's descendants lived in Qi, and there were more than a dozen feudal lords, often famous doctors. There are not many smart people in Guan Zhong, but Uncle Bao knows many people.

Since Guan Zhong became independent, he has lived on the seashore with only a small amount of money, accumulated wealth, enriched Qiang Bing, and shared the joys and dislikes with the people. Therefore, it is said: "The granary knows etiquette, food and clothing know honor and disgrace, and clothes are solid."

If the four dimensions don't open, the country will die. Orders are like running water, which makes people feel happy.

So, humble, easy to do. Give what the common people want; Vulgar is not, so go.

It is also the government, good every cloud has a silver lining, that turned defeat into victory. Weigh carefully.

Huan Gong was really angry with Cai, so Guan Zhong attacked Chu and blamed Mao for not paying tribute. Huan Gong was really good at the Northern Expedition, and Guan Zhong put Yan Xiu in charge of Zhao Gong.

At the meeting of Yu Ke, Huan Gong wanted to break the contract, Guan Zhong believed it was true, and the princes returned to Qi. Therefore, it is a treasure of politics to know what it is used for.

"Guan Zhongfu intends to go to the government, and he was buried three times. Qi people don't think this is luxury. When Guan Zhong died, it was often better for Qi to obey his own government than for princes.

100 years later, there was a swallow. Yan Ping is a loyal baby, and Wei is also a person.

In the matter of Qi and Zhuang Gonghe, frugality is more important than Qi. Me and I don't care about meat, and we don't care about clothes and silks.

It is in North Korea, which is very dangerous to talk about; If you don't say it, you will be in danger. State-owned means obedient; I can't help it. I just have a balanced life.

In this way, the third world became famous to the princes. The more stones, the better the father.

Yan Zi came out, was discredited, was redeemed by Zuo Yi, and came back. Foucher, go to the boudoir.

Over time, the more stones my father wants. Yan Zi was afraid, photographed his clothes, thanked him and said, "Although the baby is heartless, why do you want him to seek perfection quickly?" "Shi Fu said," otherwise.

I heard that gentlemen trust their confidants, not their confidants. Wu Fang is in the middle. He doesn't know me.

My master saved me, and I am a bosom friend; It is better to be intimate and rude than to be caught in the middle. "This is extended to be a guest.

Yan Zi was at the same stage, and his royal wife married her husband from outside when she was idle. Her husband is a relative, and he is very big and complacent.

When he came back, his wife was invited. Husband asked him why.

The wife said, "Yan Zi is less than six feet long. He is in a state of harmony and is famous as a vassal. Today, I look forward to it with deep ambition and always follow the bottom.

My son is eight feet long. Although he is a servant, he thinks he is full of ideas and wants to go. "After that, her husband suppressed the injury.

Yan Zi asked me a strange question, and he was telling the truth. Yan Zi recommended him as a doctor.

Tai Shigong said: I have read the herdsmen, Mountain Height, Riding, Light and Heavy, Nine Rooms and Spring and Autumn Annals, all of which have made detailed statements. Ever since I saw him writing a book and wanted to see him act, I have passed it on.

As for his books, there are many in the world, so anyway, tell me his anecdotes.

2. Ask to write an essay about Ailian in classical Chinese of about 200 words.

The flowers of land and water plants are very fragrant. Tao Jinyuan clearly loves chrysanthemums. Since Li Tang came, people all over the world have loved peonies.

Want to call chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; Peony, blooming with wealth; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Hey!

Since Li in Tang Dynasty, people all over the world have loved peony very much.

(Its stem) is transparent in the middle, tall and straight in shape, without knots, branches and branches, and the fragrance spreads far away, which makes it more beautiful and clean. People can look at (it) from a distance, but they can't get close to it and play with it solemnly. I think chrysanthemum is a hermit in flowers; Peony is a rich person in flowers; Lotus is a gentleman among flowers. Alas! After Tao Yuanming, I seldom heard about the love of chrysanthemum.

4. It's embarrassing to ask for about 200 words of classical Chinese recently. Counting by fingers, I began to observe Chunxuan for two years without being confused; I also remember Meng Dongye's poem: "Hemerocallis are born in the hall, and wanderers travel all over the world;" In front of the main hall, the loving mother didn't see the day lily. "I was in tears when I was in love. Sage motto, especially in the ear: parents are here, don't travel far. Today, although it is not thousands of miles away, it is also a matter of the city. I'm afraid I can't be both loyal and filial, so I kneel and enjoy myself, wearing colorful clothes. My parents have been promoted, but I do all the things at home alone, and the children can't share them at all. It's really shameful. Fortunately, parents are healthy, harmonious and happy, and sons can talk with * * * at ease. There are no traces of children on peaches; We sincerely respect each other before holding on. Although you are in two places, you should be safe; Thinking of returning to one vein, sending geese to cry in the north.

After more than ten years of haste, children will be late; In a hurry for more than ten years, my mother has been at home; Blue hair and white hair, times have changed. Reread "Hu Eggplant" and feel the same; I also heard the "three tricks" and lamented that everything was well-intentioned. My parents have raised me for more than ten years, teaching and learning poetry, and I am affectionate. Regret the stubbornness of that day and be doubly kind. Your kindness is not paid, ZTE will rebuild, and you are treading on thin ice; The crow feeds back, the lamb kneels and suckles, and waits for another day. Last time I left, it was only a few days. Although the days are short, every minute is like a year. Dreams lead the soul with vivid voices. Everything you take is cherished; Hope to cherish, hope to be happy.

5. Methods of learning classical Chinese. Analysis on the necessity of creating a good atmosphere for learning classical Chinese.

The new Chinese curriculum standard emphasizes: "Reading simple classical Chinese can help you understand the basic content with notes and reference books." It can be said that the new Chinese curriculum standard reduces the requirements for learning classical Chinese, and the items of the classical Chinese examination in the senior high school entrance examination are limited to textbooks. Theoretically, there should be a fairly ideal result, but the result is quite unexpected. The author investigated more than 50 Chinese teachers in middle schools, and found that in the process of classical Chinese teaching, most teachers pay great attention to sentence translation, memory and targeted exercises, and the teaching process is rigorous.

However, in the process of learning classical Chinese, most students think that the process of learning classical Chinese in this way is boring and inefficient, just like learning another foreign language. They even think that teaching classical Chinese well is teachers' wishful thinking, and students can only "roll with the punches". The reasons for the low learning efficiency of classical Chinese are: 1. Students leave the situation of understanding classical Chinese.

Classical Chinese is really not like modern Chinese, which makes students read fluently and understand the meaning. It is difficult for students to accept the complexity of translation, to understand the expression of stubborn teeth in classical Chinese and to understand the true and rich expression of ancient people's feelings.

For example, in Zou Ji satirizes the King of Qi, Zou Ji asks his wife, concubine and guests the same question: "Who am I, Xu Hongmei in the north of the city?" The wife said, "Your Majesty is very beautiful. How can Xu Can Palace compare with you?" The princess said, how can I compare with you? The guest said, "Xu Gong is not equal to your beauty." They replied with one voice, with the same meaning but different sentence patterns, and slightly changed words, but expressed different tones and different psychology of different characters.

When students understand the above content, they often start with words and sentence patterns, and then rush to answer the teacher's question "Why is the tone different?" Instead of experiencing it in a specific story situation. This understanding of classical Chinese is superficial, dull, vivid and not profound, and the mastery is hasty, hasty, unstable and firm.

2. Students leave the situation of using classical Chinese. Zhao Pu's Half Analects of Confucius Governing the World illustrates the importance of applying what you have learned.

However, in daily life, students' communication is not deliberately expressed in classical Chinese, and they think it is a rather pedantic performance. Kong Yiji's "Too much is too little, too much" is a proof. In the teaching class, our teachers may also ignore the particularity of the flexible use of classic sentences in different situations.

For example, teachers often describe it as a high-profile performance of the United States singing bad human rights at the United Nations, which is interpreted as ulterior motives. But at this time, "The Drunken Pavilion" should not be understood in this way.

In fact, the use of classical Chinese also requires students to have a certain cultural taste. Due to the limitation of students' cultural quality, students have a special liking for the emerging and simple network language, but ignore the use of classical Chinese.

3. Students leave the classical Chinese humanistic situation. Classical Chinese is rich in poetry and painting, exudes unique cultural charm and embodies profound national feelings.

However, students seem unable to understand the subtleties of classical Chinese. For example, in the article Born in Worry and Died in Happiness, students understand the important knowledge of "sense of worry" and "success in adversity". However, when asked about the modern significance of their sense of hardship and how to make themselves talents, students are at a loss.

The key lies in the lack of humanistic situation. The creation of humanistic situation in classical Chinese requires students to pay attention to contemporary social and cultural life, pay attention to the cultivation of their own quality, and strive to be well cultivated in the study of classical Chinese, improve their life quality and cultivate healthy personality.

For example, the creation of the humanistic situation of "anxiety consciousness" makes students worry about the war in peacetime, the environment of developing society, and the incurable diseases in a better life ... Let students learn from the broad mind of the ancients, shoulder the responsibility of inheriting excellent civilization, and establish a correct outlook on life and values. It can be seen that it is very necessary to create a good atmosphere for learning classical Chinese.

2. Strategic thinking on creating a good atmosphere for learning classical Chinese. Since learning classical Chinese requires a good situation and it is so important to create a good atmosphere for learning classical Chinese, we should think strategically.

1, intonation, irony and intonation is to ask students to read aloud, read correctly and fluently, visualize the language in cadence, beautify and deepen their emotions. Let the students immerse themselves in it, understand the taste of the article and gain something.

"Old books are never tired of reading, and children know themselves when they are familiar with them." "They are familiar with 300 Tang poems, and they can sing even if they can't write poems." This is a subtle presentation of chanting.

6.200-300 words in classical Chinese; original text

Shunfa is in mu, Fu Shuo is in banlou, glue fish is in salt, Guan Yi is a scholar, Sun Shuai is in the sea, and Baili is in the city.

Therefore, when the sky falls, people must first suffer their minds, their bones and muscles, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and mess around. Therefore, patience has benefited them a lot.

People are unchangeable, and then they can change; Trapped in the heart, balanced in consideration, and then made; Color label, sound hair, and then metaphor. A country, if there are no ministers and wise men who can assist the king, will often be in danger of the collapse of its neighboring countries and the misfortunes from abroad.

In this way, you will know that sorrow is enough to make people live and pleasure is enough to make people die.

A country, if there are no ministers and wise men who can assist the king, will often be in danger of the collapse of its neighboring countries and the misfortunes from abroad.

7. I don't know who I am, and I don't know my last name, because I read Chen Ziang's sentence, "I think of heaven and earth, and there is no limit and no end, so I cried." I felt very good at that time, because I took "you" as my name! I was born five years ago, and I was playing in the village. Suddenly, a person came and said that her father said: This woman is smart. If I haven't read poems and books, I'm sorry ... I can't see her begging.

His father was frightened, so he sent him to a private school to study poetry and books ... After he returned to middle school, all the teachers liked him. However, one day, I was sleeping soundly in class, and the teacher said, Why am I sleeping soundly in class? You Cong said: I am familiar with a teacher's business. After listening to it, it is also a cliche ... The teacher shook his head and left with a wry smile ... Sometimes people who are good at it ask the teacher: Why did you shake your head when you heard what he said? Teacher Ye smiled and said, You are young and smart, but you study hard. I admire you very much.

However, I am sensitive, I have learned little, and my heart is not specialized, so I shook my head! How about learning from time to time without asking questions? The former, I heard it leisurely. Now I tell it again, but after many days, I will forget it, so I left with a wry smile ... After listening to it leisurely, I don't know, so I study hard. Three years later, I entered a key middle school ... more than five classical Chinese autobiographies entered the WTO, which was more than 22 years.

The first six years are young, and the last ten years are cold. I didn't go to high school because of my plain education.

I have to leave my hometown. To make a living.

At this time, I wasted six years. Love leisure and hate work, and accomplish nothing.

Not suitable! And so on. Be careful! Stop it! Husband, a man without vision. Although he is like a runaway pony, he can gallop freely. However, he will eventually be exhausted! Meng De once said: "An old horse lurks, and its ambition is thousands of miles."

He is still ambitious in his sixties, but he is still young! Confucius said, "Listen in the morning and die at night!" I have five senses to make an example of others. If the temperament, such as poetry in the Spring and Autumn Period, is still Confucius and Mencius, envy the minds of the ancients and envy the talents of the ancestors.

I'm fine, but what we can hope is not as good as it? In his spare time, he amused himself with silk and bamboo, and occasionally studied the calligraphy art of Danqing. It's really a pastime and unsightly.

Occasionally think of leisure with sven. To comfort my heart.

8. Translate the original text in classical Chinese, about 200 words: Title: Get Michinosuke, but not Tao. Author or source: Mencius.

Opportunities vouchsafed by Heaven are outmatched by terrestrial advantages, which in turn are outmatched by the harmony among people.

The city of three miles, the country of seven miles, was invincible when attacked by the Lord of the Rings. If the husband attacks it, it will be the right time, and if it is invincible, it will be the right place.

The city is not too high, the pond is not too deep, the army is not very profitable, and there is not much rice, so it is not as good as people and peace.

Therefore, the people in the territory do not take the border, the country does not take the risk of mountains and rivers, and the benefits of the world do not take the benefits of war. Those who gain the Tao help more, while those who lose the Tao help less. If there is less help and more help from relatives, the world will be smooth sailing. Take advantage of the world and attack your relatives. A gentleman wins without fighting.

Translation or annotation:

The weather and seasons that are conducive to combat are not comparable to the geographical situation that is conducive to combat, and the geographical situation that is conducive to combat is not comparable to the people's hearts and internal unity in combat.

A small town in Lisan, a city outside Qili, surrounded and attacked it, but could not win. Encircling and attacking it must be a favorable condition for obtaining the weather season, but it can't win, because the weather season conducive to combat is not as good as the geographical situation conducive to combat.

The city wall is not high, the moat is not deep, the weapons and equipment are not bad, and the food is not small, but the defenders abandon the city and flee. This is because the geographical situation favorable to the battle is not as good as the popular will and internal unity in the battle.

Therefore, we can't rely on the boundaries of territory to calm people's hearts, consolidate national defense, and deter the world from relying on the strength of weapons and equipment. People who practice benevolent policies will have more people to help and support him, while those who do not practice benevolent policies will have fewer people to help and support him. With so few people helping him, all his brothers and sisters will betray him. Many people helped him to the extreme, and everyone in the world surrendered to him. With the condition that people all over the world submit to him, they will attack those who betray him physically and by their brothers. Therefore, those who practice benevolent government will either not fight or win.
