The Original Translation of Sikong Biography

Si Kongtu, the word table is holy, and Yuxiang people in the river. Father's name, capable and elegant. Si Kongtu, Xian Tong, a scholar in the last year's exam, was especially praised by Wang Ning, assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. Soon, Wang Ning broke the law and was demoted to Shangzhou Secretariat. Si Kongtu thanked his bosom friend and followed him to Shangzhou. Later, Wang Ning was appointed as an observer and was called into the shogunate. The emperor called Si Kongtu as the imperial adviser in the temple. He was reluctant to leave Wangningfu, and Taiwan Province officials accused him of being late, so he was demoted to the main book of Guanglu Temple, in charge of the East Capital. Xie Lu once worked as a prime minister in Luoyang, appreciated Si Kongtu's integrity and often interacted with him. When Lu took him back to North Korea, he passed by and asked him to observe. Lu said: He is a noble man. Wei immediately went to the table and asked Ren Tu to be a colleague. When Lu Xie returned to power, he appointed Si Kongtu as the Minister of Ritual, and he was promoted to be a doctor soon.

Huang Chao captured Chang 'an and Si Kongtu took refuge in the emperor, but it didn't happen. Zhang Duan, the servant of Si Kongtu's younger brother, served in the Huang Chao army. He took Si Kongtu's hand and said, "My leader, General Zhang, likes to make friends with scholars. You can go and see him. Don't die. " When Sikong Tu refused to go, Zhang Duan cried. Si Kongtu arrived in Xianyang, and went through difficulties and obstacles to reach the riverside. At this time, Nozong lived in Fengxiang, appointed him as the imperial edict of the palace, and was promoted to the position of the Chinese Book Sheren. Later, the emperor visited Baoji, and without Sikong Tu's entourage, Sikong Tu returned to the river. In the early years of Longji, he was reinstated due to illness and resigned. During the reign of Jingfu, he was appointed as an admonition officer, but he did not take office. Later, he was called the assistant minister. Si Kongtu thanked the imperial court and left a few days later. Zhaozong was in China and called him assistant minister of the Ministry of War. He insisted on resigning because of his leg illness. At that time, when Liu Can moved the capital to Luoyang, she catered to the wishes of thieves, framed talented and prestigious people and helped weaken the royal family. Imperial edict Si Kongtu entered the DPRK. Si Kongtu pretended to be rude. Liu Can knew that he had no intention of official career, so he was allowed to go back to the mountain.

Sikongtu originally lived in Wangguan Valley, Zhongtiaoshan Mountain. He had ancestral land and could not live in seclusion. Built a simple pavilion and other houses. In the pavilion, I painted all the moral integrity and the images of famous literati since Tang Xing, entitled "Xiu Xiu Pavilion". I also wrote an article expressing my feelings: "Resignation is a wonderful thing. When you are free, there is beauty. Originally, to measure my talent, I should resign; Judging from my quality, I should resign; I am old and groggy, and Sanyi resigned; Moreover, I was lazy when I was a child, careless when I grew up, and pedantic when I was old. None of these three things need to govern the world, and it is more appropriate to resign. " He also called himself "insulting the layman". His words are strange, so I'm afraid to avoid them. He prepared the coffin cemetery in advance, and when it was sunny, he led the guests to sit in front of the grave and drink and write poems. The guest felt embarrassed, and Si Kongtu said, "Why can't you see it?" . Life and death are the same thing. Where can I swim here temporarily? "Every year during the Chinese New Year, the village gets together to drum and dance for blessings, and thinking about empty pictures is very enjoyable for the old people in the village. Wang Chongrong and his son attached great importance to him and gave him things many times, but he didn't accept them. In order to set up a monument, Wang Chongrong gave thousands of silks, and Si Kongtu put them in Yuxiang City for anyone to take, and took them all in one day. At that time, bandits burned and looted everywhere they went, so they didn't go to Crown Valley alone. Many scholars took refuge there. Zhu Quanzhong usurped the throne, called Si Kongtu as the minister of rites, but he didn't go. After hearing that Eddie was killed, Sikong Tu died of hunger strike at the age of 72.
