Those who had saved stood on the shore and called out: "How foolish are you? How can you hide this? Your body is dead, why do you use goods?" He shook his head again. Then he drowned. I mourn. And if so, wouldn’t it be possible for the big guys to drown out the gangsters? So he wrote "Mourning".
Translation
People in Yongzhou are good at swimming. One day, the river surged, and five or six people crossed the Xiangjiang River in a small boat. When they crossed into the river, the boat broke and everyone started swimming. One of them tried his best to swim but couldn't get very far. His companions said: "You are the best at swimming, why are you lagging behind today?" He said: "I have a thousand coins wrapped around my waist, which is very heavy, so I am lagging behind." His companions said: "Why don't you throw it away? What?" He didn't answer and shook his head. After a while, he became even more tired. The man who had swam over stood on the shore and shouted: "You are very stupid and ignorant. You are going to drown. Why do you need money?" He shook his head again. So he drowned. I feel very sad about this. If it were like this, wouldn't it happen that Italy drowned the big shot? So I wrote "Mourning."
Meaning
"Preface to the Sorrowful Essay" satirizes those people in the world who are so greedy for money that they will be buried in the world of fame and fortune if they don't wake up and turn around. But it also tells us that no matter how much money we have, it is useless if we lose our lives.
"Mourning" means lamenting the drowning person. The reason for "mourning" is that the author lamented the drowning man who could not wake up until his death. His greed for money caused him to lose consideration for life. This aroused the author's feeling that "the big man is drowned by big profits", thus expressing his concern and irony towards those in the officialdom who are greedy for fame and fortune!
"Preface to the Drowning Essay" narrates the story of a man who was usually the best at swimming and drowned because he was reluctant to part with money. It satirizes the ignorance of people who love money as much as their lives, and warns them that if they don't wake up, If you look back, you will be buried in the world of fame and fortune. Those who are blinded by money and fall in love with it would rather give up their lives than lose their money. "Money is something external to oneself" We should not pay attention to money.
Writing characteristics of "Preface to the Essay on Mourning"
Writing characteristics.
(1) The characteristic of "Preface to the Drowning Essay" is that it uses a combination of positive description and side contrast. It mainly depicts the mentality of the drowned person who wants money rather than his life, making the full text narrative quite concise and the characters The image is very vivid and expressive.
The positive description mainly focuses on three aspects: the first is the action description, "try your best but cannot be ordinary", which implies the burden of money; the second is the language description, "I have a thousand dollars in my waist, heavy, it is the future", It shows that he knows that the key is money, but he is still unwilling to give up; the third is the expression description, "No, shake his head" twice, which shows that he wants money rather than his life, and will not realize it until death.
The side foil also starts from three aspects: first, contrast, "the best at swimming", using other people's words to point out that he is usually good at swimming, thus contrasting his abnormal behavior today of "trying his best but not being ordinary" ; The second is comparison. He who is the best swimmer drowns instead, and compares it with the fact that people who are not as good at swimming as him can reach the other side safely. The third is to use the cry of "self-helper" to reveal his ignorant heart from the side. 3. You want other people’s money, and they want your life. Translated into classical Chinese
