Can the sky be inevitable? Sages don't have to be expensive, and benevolent people don't have to live long. Isn't it necessary? There must be a queen for the benevolent. Will two people be comfortable? I heard Shen say, "Man will conquer nature, and nature will conquer man." Those who talk about heaven in the world don't wait for it to be decided, so the sky is boundless. Good people are lazy and bad people are arrogant. Stealing chickens and not eating rice, Confucius and Yan Zhien, are still inconclusive.
Pine and cypress were born in the mountains. At first, they were trapped in Artemisia selengensis and cattle and sheep. In the end, those who have not changed after studying for four years are determined by nature. As for children and grandchildren, it will be a long time. I use what I have seen and heard to test it, but it can be judged.
If the country is prosperous, there must be virtuous ministers who give generously and don't eat their reports, and then future generations can protect the peace of the text and the blessings of the world. Therefore, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, the Duke of Jin, was prominent in the Han and Zhou Dynasties. After Mao, Taizong, Wenwu, loyalty and filial piety, the world faces each other, and the public pawn cannot stand on the straight road. Guy tried to plant three locust trees in the imperial court and said, "My children and grandchildren will have three officials."
His son Wei Guowen was an upright man, and the emperor Xiang Zhenzong lived between Jingdezhen and Xiangfu. When the court was clear and there was nothing in the world, he enjoyed ten years and eight years of prosperity.
What today's husband contains in people will be taken away tomorrow, with or without it; Xiu De, Duke of Jinxiang, is responsible for this, and he will seize it in a few decades. If he holds a left deed, he will pay for it. I know the fruit of heaven is inevitable.
I can't wait to see Duke Wei, but my son Yi wants to persuade Emperor Renzong directly. I have been in and out of the attendants for more than 30 years, and I am dissatisfied with his virtue. This day will revive the Wangs! How many children are virtuous? Some people in the world compare Gong Jin and Li Qiyun. Their talents are straightforward and really comparable.
Yun Qi's sons Ji Fu and Sun Deyu are both rich and famous, only Rainbow. Loyalty, forgiveness and kindness are not as good as Gong Wei and his son. From this point of view, Wang's blessing is not covered.
Gong, the son of Iraq, traveled with me. He was virtuous and literate, and made the world his home. I remember. Yue Ming:
"Alas Hugh zai! Our career sprouted with Huai; The diligence of closing the factory will surely achieve the world. The truth is true, all sides are flat. Back to my hometown, Huaiyin is full of hospitals. We little people can make timely moves before evening, and the emperor is merciful. You are lucky, you got what you didn't plant.
How can we serve our country without a gentleman? East of the city, Jingongsuo Road; There are three sorrows, which are symbols of virtue. Alas!
Translation:
Is heaven certain? However, virtuous people are not necessarily noble, and benevolent people are not necessarily long-lived. Isn't heaven certain? But good people must have successors. Which of these two statements is appropriate? I have heard Shen say, "If people are determined, they can break the sky, and if the sky is determined, it can be better than people's efforts." People who talk about heaven in the world all ask about its efficacy, so they think that heaven is boundless and unpredictable. Good people slack off because of this, and evil people are presumptuous because of this. Like the longevity of stealing feet, the plight of Confucius and Yan Hui. This is all that God has not yet solved.
Pine and cypress are born in the mountains. At first, they were trapped in Artemisia grass and trampled by cattle and sheep. But in the end, they can be evergreen all the year round and remain as green as ever after thousands of years. This is because heaven has been set. The retribution of good and evil will continue to future generations, so it seems that the reconciliation of heaven is a long-term thing. Based on what I have seen and heard, I find that the inevitable trend of reconciliation between heaven and earth is very clear.
When a country is about to rise, there must be a minister who has been benefiting the world, asking for nothing in return and doing his best. Then his descendants can enjoy the blessings of the world with the monarch who abides by the law and maintains peace and prosperity. The late assistant minister of the Ministry of War, the Duke of Jin, was prominent in the later Han and Zhou Dynasties. He once served two emperors, Emperor Taizong and Emperor Taizong. He is eloquent, loyal and filial, and everyone expects him to be the prime minister. However, this maharaja can't keep pace with the times because he is honest and frank. He once planted three locust trees in his yard and said, "My descendants must have people who rank among the three."
Later, his son Wei Guowen became the emperor of Jingdezhen and the prime minister of Zhenzong Xiangfu, which coincided with a good time when the government was clear and the world was at peace. He was blessed for eighteen years.
If you entrust something to someone today and want it back tomorrow, you may or may not get it back. However, it will take decades for Gong Jin to cultivate his virtue and seek a reward from God. At that time, it was like taking one of the two contracts and giving it to God. It is because of these that I know that the effect of heaven is really inevitable.
I missed seeing Wei Gong with my own eyes, but I saw his son Yi Mingong. Yi Mingong served Emperor Renzong by daring to speak out. He served the emperor inside and outside the imperial court for more than 30 years, and his official position was not commensurate with his merits. Is this God's intention to bring the king back to life? Why are there so many talented people in Wang's descendants? People in the world compare Gong Jin and Li Qiyun, and they are really equal in great talent and integrity.
Li Qiyun's sons, Ji Fu and grandson Deyu, enjoy the same fame and wealth as the Wangs, but they are not as loyal, generous, kind and simple as Gong Wei and his son. From this point of view, the blessing of the Wang clan has not yet reached its peak!
Yi Mingong's son Gong and I made friends. He advocates morality, and his source is excellent, so as to inherit the tradition of his family. That's why I keep this in mind. The inscription reads:
"How nice! Gong Wei's great achievements germinated and grew together with Sophora japonica. It takes a generation to grow up to add soil and sow seeds diligently. After he became the prime minister of Shinchan, the world was at peace. When I came back, I saw my home, which was full of Huaiyin. My generation of villains were busy looking for opportunities and chasing fame and fortune before dawn turned into dusk. How can they have time to care about their own morality? I just hope I get lucky and get something for nothing.
Without a gentleman like you, how can the country govern? To the east of the capital, it is the mansion of Duke Xiang of Jin, and three lush locust trees symbolize the virtue of Duke Xiang of Jin. Well done! "
Extended data:
The inscription of Sanhuaitang is an article written by Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. Firstly, the article affirms the cause of good and evil from the argument of the existence of destiny, and puts forward the view that "there must be latecomers for the benevolent"; Then it describes the process and expectation of Wang Hu's planting of Sanhuai, and the fact that there are many virtuous and talented people in Wang Hu's descendants. The full text runs through the thought of fate and karma, advocating kindness, loyalty and forgiveness, euphemism, beauty and fluency.
This article was written by Su Shi for the "Sanhuaitang" in Wang Gong's home when he took office in Huzhou in the second year of Song Shenzong Yuanfeng (1079). During Su Shi's stay in Xuzhou, Wang Gong accompanied him on an outing to recite poems. When Su Shi came to Huzhou to take office, Wang Gong also greeted him and asked him to write an inscription for Sanhuaitang, so he asked Su Shi to write an inscription for Sanhuaitang.
