Yan Zi's Annotation and Translation in the Spring and Autumn Period
Yan Zi went to the State of Chu. The Chu people wanted to insult him, because he was short, so they specially opened a small door next to the city gate and invited Yan Zi in. Yan Zi said: "Only those who are sent to the dog country can go in through the dog hole. I was sent to Chu today, but I didn't think I would enter the city from this door. " The Chu people had to divert the road and ask Yan Zi to go in through the gate.

Yan Zi visited the King of Chu. The king of Chu said, "I'm afraid there is no one in Qi?" Yan Zi replied, "There are more than 7,000 families in Linzi, the capital of Qi State. People are next to people, shoulder to shoulder. Spreading your sleeves can cover the sun and sweat like rain. How can you say that there is no one in Qi? " The king of Chu said, "In that case, why should you be sent as an envoy?" Yan Zi replied: "The envoys sent by Qi have different goals. The wise sent him to visit the wise monarch, and the incompetent sent him to visit the incompetent monarch. I am the most incompetent person, so I have to send him to Chu. " The king of Chu was embarrassed immediately.

Yan Zi will go to Chu State. Hearing the news, the King of Chu said to the courtiers around him, "(Yan Ying) was a good talker in Qi, and now (he) is here. I want to humiliate him. What can I do? " The courtier replied, "When he comes, please let us walk past the king with people tied. The king asked, "What does he do?" I said,' He is from Qi. The king asked (again), "What crime have you committed?" I replied,' He committed theft.' "

Yan Zi will make Chu. Hearing this, the king of Chu said to the left and right, "Today, Qi's ci scholars have come, and I want to humiliate them. Why? " "For his sake," said the left and right, "I'll ask you to tie someone up and walk over the king. Wang Yue, who is it? Yes, qi people are also. Wang Yue, why are you sitting down? Hey, sit and steal. "

Yanzi came to Chu, and the king of Chu invited Yanzi to drink. While he was drinking happily, he asked two people to tie a person to the king of Chu. The king of Chu asked, "What do people who are tied up do? (Tolerance) Answer: "(He) is a Qi person and committed theft. The king of Chu looked at Yan Zi and asked, "Are Qi people good at stealing?" ? "Yan Zi left his seat and replied," I heard that citrus grows in the south of Huaihe River, and spring trees grow in the north of Huaihe River, but the leaves are similar, but the fruits taste different. Why is this happening? Is it because of the different water and soil conditions? What's the matter? Are you flattering me? Huang Dao? Hey? Mixing is not good? What's the trick? Shallow? Is it? Careless? No forging knife? Hey, handsome guy's back? Did you take the blame for this? Dragging cooking? Please forgive me! ?

Yan Zizhi, the king of Chu, gave Yanzi wine, which was filled with wine. Two officials tied a man to the king of Chu. The king said, "What about those who are bound?" He said, "Qi people are also thieves." The King of Qi looked at Yan Zi and said, "Are Qi people good at stealing?" Yan Zi avoided the table and said, "Babies smell it, but oranges are born in Huainan and oranges are born in Huaibei. Leaves are similar to disciples, but they taste different. What's that? Soil and water are different. Now people's livelihood is better than Qi's, but they stole it when they went to Chu. If he has soil and water without Chu, then the people are good and thieves. " Wang smiled and said, "saints are not interested in happiness, but I am interested in disease."

★ Yan Zi resigned as her daughter.

Yan Zi was eating when Qi Jinggong sent a special envoy. (Yan Zi) Divided the food and gave it to the envoys. As a result, the envoys did not have enough to eat, and Yan Zi did not have enough to eat. When the envoy came back, he told Qi Jinggong (about Yan Zi's poverty). Qi Jinggong exclaimed, "alas! Yan Zi's family is really as poor as (you said)! I don't understand, it's my fault. " Send someone on a business trip to send his daughter and tax, and let him support his guests with his daughter and city rent. Yan Zi didn't accept it. After many farewells, he politely declined to say, "My family is not poor. Thank you for your reward. Kindness has spread to my father's family, my mother's family and my wife's family, and extended to my friends to help the people. Your salary is rich enough, and my family is not poor. I've heard people say that they take rich rewards from the monarch and give them to the people. This is that courtiers, not monarchs, rule the people, and loyal courtiers don't do this; Taking a generous reward from the monarch but not giving it to the people is to put the property in a basket for your own use, which is not what benevolent people do; In North Korea, you will get rich rewards from the monarch. In the outward direction, we should not offend the scholars because of the reward from the monarch. After death, the property will be transferred to others. This is to accumulate property for ministers. Smart people don't do that. With clothes to wear and food to eat, you can avoid (all) troubles (as long as you are satisfied). "

Qi Jinggong said to Yan Zi, "In the past, our former monarch, Huan Gong, gave Guanzhong a land population of 500 miles, and he accepted it without refusing it. Why did you refuse to accept it? " Yan Zi replied: "I heard that smart people think too much and will inevitably make mistakes." Stupid people, after careful consideration, have their merits. I think it's Guan Zhong's fault and mine, right? So thanks again for not answering. "
