There is an evil person named Chen You, who is called Dun Qia Mi. He has a majestic forehead and a wide face, his color is like a rag, his eyes are lowered to his nose, his elbows are long and his chin is long. When Chen Hou saw this, he said: External envoys govern the country, and internal envoys control the body. Chu united the princes, but Chen Hou was ill and could not go there, so he sent Dun Qia and Xie Yan to Xie Yan. The king of Chu was surprised by his name and saw him first. The king of Chu was angry when the guest came forward and had bad words. He joined the officials and told him, saying: "The Marquis of Chen does not know that he cannot be used, because he does not know. If he knows that he can be used, it is an insult. To insult is unwise." It must be attacked. ” Raise an army to attack Chen, and then mourn in March.

Even if it is death, the friendship will not decline. Those who are not suitable for encountering will be destroyed. Those who are suitable for encountering are not encountered. This is the reason why the country is in chaos and the world is in decline. The people of the world will suffer from hardship and labor from now on. The foundation for promoting people is ambition first, deeds second, and achievements second. If the three are incompetent, the country will be destroyed, the jealousy of the people will be great, the body will die, and it will be lucky to reach seventy or ninety years. After being a virtuous saint, he brings disaster to the people. How can he be alone if he is a thief? ("Lu's Spring and Autumn Period·Yuhe")
Translation
There was an ugly man named Dun Qia Mi in the State of Chen, with a pointed peak and a wide forehead. His face is dark and red, his eyes are droopy, almost close to his nose, his arms are long, and his thighs are bent to both sides. After Chen Hou met him, he liked him very much. He asked him to govern the country externally and manage his own food and daily life internally. The King of Chu held a meeting with the princes, but Marquis Chen was ill and could not go, so he sent Dun Qia Mi to express his apology to the King of Chu. The King of Chu thought the name was strange, so he was the first to receive him. After he entered, the King of Chu felt that his strange appearance was more hateful than his name; and when he heard his words, he felt that his appearance was more hateful than his appearance. The King of Chu was very angry. He gathered all the officials and told them: "If the Marquis of Chen does not know that such a person cannot be sent as an envoy, it is unwise; if he knows that he cannot be sent as an envoy but insists on sending him as an envoy, it is an intentional insult." I. Someone who intentionally insults people but is unwise must be attacked." The king of Chu then sent troops to attack the state of Chen and destroyed the state of Chen three months later. His ugly appearance was enough to frighten others, and his rude speech was enough to cost him the country. However, Chen Hou loved Dun Qia Mi, who was ugly and rude, to the extreme. No one could surpass him, and his love did not weaken until the country was overthrown. It can be seen that if things that should not be appreciated are appreciated, the country will definitely decline; if things that should be appreciated are not appreciated, the country will also perish①. This is the reason why the country is in chaos and the world is in decline. The suffering and labor of the people of the world are thus produced. Generally speaking, the basis for recommending people is based on morality first, career second, and merit third. If these three types of people cannot be recommended, the country will be ruined and destroyed, all kinds of disasters will come together, and you will definitely suffer. If you can live to be seventy or ninety years old, you will be extremely lucky. Chen Hou is a descendant of sages②, but he has brought harm to the people. If you harm yourself because of improper employment, don't you just suffer harm alone? 2. Does anyone know the translation of "Chasing the Stinky Husband"

How do you explain the word "stinky" in "Zhumen's wine and meat stink"?
Correct explanation: This "stinky" refers to the pungent smell emitted by rotten food.
Zhumen's wine and meat smell stinky, and there are frozen bones on the road. This is a famous saying by Du Fu, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty. The word "stinky" is quite controversial. Yu Pingbo said: "...wine and meat are ordinary products. Let them be stinky and rotten. There is no need to cherish them." Wang Xiaoxiang said: "'stinky' has a two-fold explanation in ancient times." That is to say, it means both "stinky rot" and "stinky rot". aroma". What Wang Xiaoxiang holds is "fragrance".
He believed that the great poet could not help but recite this famous line of grief and indignation when he saw many people dying of hunger and bones lying around on the road in the severe winter, while the fragrance of wine and meat could be heard in the red gate. In normal times, although meat can become rancid, how can wine become rancid? Moreover, how can a high-ranking official in a rich family let the wine and meat rot without cleaning up? Therefore, Wang Xiaoxiang believes that it is unreasonable to interpret the word "stinky" as "stinky rot". He also cited a poem by Yuan Zhen, who wrote an epitaph for Du Fu, to illustrate Yuan Zhen's admiration for Du: "The soldiers in the city smell of wine and meat, but the county's Xu family abandoned it."
Yuan Zhen's "wine and meat smell", It is to imitate Du's "wine and meat stink", which means "wine and meat are fragrant". 5.
The wife of a Cai man was also a daughter of a Song man. Since she married Cai, her husband had a serious illness, and her mother was about to remarry him. The daughter said, "The husband's misfortune is the concubine's misfortune." No matter how to get rid of it, the right way is to marry it once and never change it for life. Unfortunately, if you encounter a serious disease, you will not change your mind. And you are picking weeds. Even though they are smelly, they still start with picking them and end with them. Pick it up and soak it to benefit the family. How about the relationship between husband and wife? He has no big reason, and he doesn't send his concubine. How can he go? Finally, he doesn't listen to his mother, so he writes the poem of "裊苢". The gentleman said, the meaning of the Song Dynasty girl , very chaste and unified,
The poem says: Knowing that the evil disease is in heaven, and the laws of heaven cannot be eradicated, then the evil disease cannot be eliminated, and people have no big reason to abandon it, so how can we abandon it because of the evil disease? A virtuous and chaste person.
"Knowing righteousness and settling one's destiny" means knowing what is moral and righteous and settling one's destiny.
"If it is not because of a serious illness that violates the laws of nature, how can we leave it, and if there is no serious reason for hurting people's hearts, why should we abandon it?": How can we leave if we are not seriously ill and violates the laws of nature, and if there is no big reason for hurting people's hearts, how can we leave? abandon?
The original article said that Cai's wife never left her husband after he got seriously ill. She refused even if her mother asked her to remarry.
The "Ode" at the end of the original text makes it very clear. The ancients believed that suffering from serious diseases is destined by God, and the laws of heaven cannot be violated, so the diseases cannot be eliminated, and people cannot abandon them without serious reasons, so they cannot abandon them because of the diseases destined by God.
In fact, it is said that a woman who marries and obeys her husband for the rest of her life is considered to be "very chaste and one." 6. Explanation and annotation of the classical Chinese text "Being Fart"
