When Wei is in September, the sequence belongs to Sanqiu. The water is cold and the pool is clear, and the smoke is purple. Yan Yan likes to walk on the road and watch the scenery to worship Afghanistan. Close to Emperor Cheung Chau, you will see the old pavilion where heaven and man are integrated. Mountains and clouds are heavy; Feige is full of blood, and there is no land under it. Heting ancient bamboo, the haunt of poor islands; Gui Dian Lan Gong is the posture of hills.

This is Zhang Yu County in the Han Dynasty, and now it is the governor's office of Hongzhou. The position in the sky belongs to the division between two stars, and the position on the ground connects Hengshan and Lushan. Take Sanjiang as the skirt and Five Lakes as the belt, control Chu land and connect Fujian and Vietnam. The essence of things is the treasure of heaven, and the sword light shines directly on the interval between cattle and barrels. Ying Jie is among the people, and because the earth has aura, Fan Chen specially built several couches for Xu Ru. Magnificent Hongzhou City, houses are like fog, and talents are as active as stars. The city is located in the key place at the junction of Yi and Xia, and the host and guests are all concentrated in the talents in the southeast. Commander-in-chief Yan Guogong enjoys a high reputation. He came to Hongzhou from afar and worked as a shepherd in Yuwen House. He is a model of virtue and stopped here on his way to his post. On the day of the tenth holiday, outstanding friends and distinguished guests gathered here. Meng, the leader of the literary world, writes with great momentum and dances Cai Feng. In General Wang's armory, there are sharp swords such as purple cymbals and so on. Because my father is going to be a county magistrate, I passed this famous place on my way to visit relatives. Young and ignorant, I was lucky enough to attend this grand banquet in person.
It's September, and the autumn is crisp. The water is gone, the pool is clear, the sky is condensed with faint clouds, and the mountains are purple in the twilight. Driving a carriage on a high mountain road, visiting the scenery in the mountain. Come to the emperor Changzhou and find the palace where the immortals live. The mountains overlap here, and the green peaks soar into the sky. A pavilion in the air, a Hong Ting Road is like flying in the sky, and the ground can't be seen from the pavilion. The small continent where white cranes and wild ducks stop, with winding islands, elegant palaces and continuous mountains set each other off.
Open the door of the carved pavilion, overlooking the roof decorated with colorful ornaments, and have a panoramic view of the mountains and plains. The twists and turns of the lake and Sichuan are amazing. There are alleys and houses everywhere, and many rich people are eating and drinking. Ge boats are full of ferries, full of big boats carved with green finches and yellow dragons. After the rain clears, the rainbow disappears, the sun is shining, the sunset flies with the lonely geese, and the autumn water is even in the sky. In the evening, the singing of fishing boats resounded through the lake, and the geese were chilly and singing until the Pu of Hengyang.
Looking at the distance, my mind just felt comfortable, and my transcendental interest immediately rose. The flute attracted the gentle breeze, and the soft singing attracted the floating white clouds. Just like the gathering of bamboo groves in Suiyuan, people who are good at drinking here can drink more than Tao Yuanming, the magistrate of Pengze County, just like Shui Ye praised lotus flowers, and the poet's literary talent here is better than that of Xie Lingyun in Linchuan Literature and History. These four beauties (music and diet, articles and words) are all ready, and these two rare conditions (beautiful scenery and pleasure) are also done together. Look at the sky as much as possible and have fun during the holiday. The sky is vast, which makes people feel that the universe is boundless. Joy has passed, sadness has come, and I understand that there is a destiny for the rise and fall of things. Looking at Chang 'an in the west and Wu Hui in the east, the land in the south is exhausted, the sea is unfathomable, the Beidou in the north is out of reach, and Tianzhu is out of reach. This mountain is difficult to cross. Who sympathizes with frustrated people? Meet by chance, all strangers in a foreign land. We missed the door of the palace, but we were not called. When can we serve the king?
Well, everyone's timing is different, and the fate of life is often not smooth. Feng Tang is prone to aging, but Li Guang is rare. Jia Yi was wronged and demoted to Changsha, not because there was no monarch, but because Hongliang fled to Qilu seaside. Isn't this an era of political prosperity? Only because a gentleman is content with poverty can a knowledgeable person know his own destiny. Although you are old, you should be more ambitious. How to change your mood when you are old? Although the situation is difficult, we should be more ethical and never give up our lofty aspirations. Even if you drink the water from the greedy spring, your mood is still fresh and clean; Even if you are on a dry main road, your mind is still cheerful and happy. Although the North Sea is far away, it can still be reached by a whirlwind of horns. Although the morning has passed, it is not too late to cherish the night. Meng Changjun is noble, but he loves to serve his country in vain. Ruan Ji is a dissolute person. How can we learn from his poor crying!
I am humble, just a scholar. Although he is twenty-one years old like the final army, he has nowhere to volunteer to kill the enemy. I envy Zong Xi? Ride the wind and waves? There is heroism and ambition to join the army. Now I have abandoned my lifelong fame, and Wan Li is not far away to serve my father day and night. Although not Gu Jie? Treasure tree? , but can associate with virtuous people. Soon I will meet my father and listen to his teachings. Today, I have the honor to accompany all my elders and climb the Longmen happily. If you don't meet the person introduced by Yang Deyi, you will only shoot your own article and feel sorry for yourself. Now that you've met Zhong Ziqi, what's the shame of playing "Running Water"?
Oh! Places of interest can't last forever, and it's hard to meet again. Lanting Banquet is a thing of the past, and Zize in Shi Chong is in ruins. Thank you for the gift of this banquet. I made this preface when I left. As for the summit, I can only count on the gentlemen present. I just took the liberty of making a brief introduction with my humble mind. Everyone here writes poems according to their own rhymes. I wrote eight sentences with four rhymes. Please show your talents and write magnificent poems like Pan Yue and Lu Ji.
Inspirations in Classical Chinese: Former Dynasty: Han Dynasty
Author: Zhuge Liang
Original text:
Before the first emperor started his business, the middle road collapsed. Today he scored three points, and Yizhou was exhausted. This is a crucial autumn. But the guards worked tirelessly at home, and those who were loyal to their ambitions forgot to be outside, covering up the special experience of the former emperor and wanting to report to your majesty. Sincerely, it is advisable to open a holy court, with the honor of the late emperor and the spirit of the people. It is not advisable to belittle yourself, quote wrong words, and block the way of advice from loyal ministers.
In the palace, everything is one; It is not appropriate to punish the different with the same: if there is a criminal who is honest and kind, he should pay the minister to discuss his punishment to show his majesty's justice; Selfishness is not desirable, so there is a difference between inside and outside.
Shi Zhong, Assistant Minister Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, etc. , are kind and upright, are loyal and pure. They are based on the advice of the former emperor: I think that everything in the palace, big or small, should be managed, and then implemented, which will certainly make up for the gaps and omissions and benefit a wide range.
General Xiang Chong, good character, good military. He tried it in the past, and the first emperor called it Yue? what's up It is based on public discussion and keeping pets: fools think that knowing the situation in the camp and consulting it will definitely make the front line harmonious and get advantages and disadvantages.
Pro-sages, far villains, this first Han is so prosperous; You little people, far from being wise ministers, have been so depressed in the Han Dynasty ever since. When the late Emperor was around, every time I talked to the minister about it, I always sighed and hated Yu Huan and Ling. Shi Zhong, Shang Shu, Chang Shi, joined the army. I know that I am a virtuous and dying minister. I hope your majesty will be close to me, and the prosperity of the Han dynasty can be counted.
I was dressed in cloth and devoted myself to Nanyang. I risked my life in troubled times and didn't ask Wen Da to be a vassal. The first emperor didn't treat his ministers with meanness, and his accusation was self-defeating. He took care of his ministers in the thatched cottage and was grateful for what had happened in this world, so he promised the first emperor to drive him away. After the value was overthrown, when I was appointed to the defeated army, I was ordered to be in danger: I have been here for twenty years.
The first emperor knew that I was cautious, so he sent me to be a minister in case of collapse. Since taking office, he has been sighing all night, fearing that the entrustment will not work, which will hurt the understanding of the first emperor; So crossing the Luzhou River in May, nothing grows. Now that the south is settled, there is enough armor. Authorized by the three armies, the north settled in the central plains, the arrogance was completely destroyed, the traitors were completely eliminated, and the Han Dynasty was revived, still in the old capital. The minister was therefore loyal to His Majesty and the first emperor. As for profit and loss, if you keep your word, you will be willing to do so.
May your majesty entrust the effect of bringing the dead back to life to the minister, and if it doesn't work, punish the minister severely and tell the spirit of the first emperor. If there are no words to promote virtue, blame you for being slow to show its blame; Your majesty also requires himself, seeks advice from others, treats others with courtesy, and pursues the posthumous edict of the first emperor. I am very grateful.
Stay away from it today, crying, I don't know what to say.

The great cause initiated by the first emperor was not abandoned halfway, but abandoned halfway. Now the world is divided into three countries, and Yizhou people are scarce. This is indeed a critical period for the country. However, the court attendants, guards and other officials did not slack off at all. The loyal and ambitious soldiers on the battlefield were desperate, probably because they remembered the special kindness of the first emperor to them (the reason for the war) and wanted to repay you. (Your Majesty) You should really broaden the hearing of saints, carry forward the virtues left by the former emperor, and inspire the aspirations of people with lofty ideals. Don't underestimate your enemy, saying inappropriate words will block people's loyal persuasion.
Palace ministers and the imperial court are a whole, and there should be no distinction between rewards and punishments, good and bad. If there are people who do evil, violate the law and discipline, and do good faithfully, they should be handed over to the competent officials to judge whether they are punished or rewarded, so as to show your majesty's fair and strict governance, and there should be no favoritism and selfishness, so that the reward and punishment methods in the palace and the court are different.
Shi Zhong, assistant minister Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun and others, all of whom are kind and upright people, have loyal aspirations and hearts, so the first emperor chose them to assist your majesty. I think everything in the palace, big or small, should be discussed with them, so that if it is implemented in the future, it will certainly make up for the shortcomings and omissions and get many benefits.
General Xiang Chong is kind, fair and proficient in military affairs. When he was appointed, the first emperor praised his talent, so everyone talked about it and recommended him as the central governor. I think that if everything in the army is discussed with him, it will definitely make the army unite as one, and the good guys and bad guys will find their own positions.
Being close to virtuous officials and alienating villains are the reasons for the prosperity of the Western Han Dynasty. Being close to villains and alienating virtuous officials are the reasons for the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty. When the first emperor was alive, whenever he talked to me about these things, there was never a time when he didn't sigh, grieve and regret for what Huan and Ling had done. Shi Zhong, Shang Shu, Chang Shi and joining the army are loyal ministers who can serve the country with their lives. I hope your majesty will get close to them and trust them, then the prosperity of the Han dynasty will be just around the corner.
I was originally a civilian. I worked as a farmer in Nanyang. Living in troubled times, I didn't expect to become famous among princes. Not because I was humble, short-sighted and self-deprecating, my late emperor visited me in my thatched cottage three times and asked me about current affairs. I was very moved and promised to help him. I have encountered failure, accepted the task when I failed, and pursued my mission between crisis and hardship. It has been 21 years since then.
My late emperor knew that I was cautious and entrusted the affairs of state to me before he died. Since I accepted death, I have been sad and sighing in the morning and evening. I'm afraid that the great task entrusted to me by my late emperor can't be realized, which will damage my late emperor's understanding of people. So I crossed the Green River in May and went deep into sparsely populated places. Now that the south has been pacified and the troops and equipment are sufficient, we should encourage and lead the whole army to the north to pacify the Central Plains, hoping to exhaust my mediocre talents, eradicate the enemy of all evils, restore the inheritance of the Han family and return to my old capital. This is my duty to repay my late emperor and serve your majesty. As for handling affairs, it is the responsibility of Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun and others to consider the reasons, make some changes and make loyal suggestions without reservation.
I hope your majesty can entrust me with the task of punishing Cao Wei and restoring the Han Dynasty. If I don't succeed, I will punish my sins, which will be used to comfort the spirit of my late emperor. If there is no proposal to revitalize Shengde, punish Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun and others for neglecting to expose them; Your majesty should also plan for himself, solicit and inquire about the good truth of governing the country, adopt correct remarks and deeply remember the teachings left by the late emperor. I can't thank you enough
Today (I) will bid farewell to your majesty's long journey. I can't help crying in the face of this performance, and I don't know what I said.

I liked studying when I was young. Because my family is poor, I can't get books to read. I often borrow money from the library, copy it myself, and send it back on the appointed day. When the weather is cold, the water in the salt pond freezes into ice and I can't stretch my fingers. I still don't relax reading. After copying, please go back to China, and dare not exceed the agreed time limit slightly. So most people will lend me books so that I can read all kinds of books. When he grew up, he admired the teachings of saints and suffered from being unable to associate with knowledgeable teachers and celebrities. He quickly walked out of the hundred miles and brought the scriptures to his fellow villagers. Senior honorary person, Yemeni students crowded his room, and his words and attitude were never slightly euphemistic. Around Lishi, he assisted the suspect and leaned over to ask questions; Or the more respectful and polite you are when you meet, you dare not say a word; Please ask again as soon as it is happy. So I was stupid and finally learned a lot.
When I was looking for my master, I was walking in the mountains of Otani with my book box on my back and Tara shoes on. In winter, the wind was cold and the snow was several feet deep, and my feet and skin were frozen and cracked. After entering the room, my limbs were stiff and I couldn't move. The servant gave me hot water and covered me with a quilt. It took a long time to warm up. Stay in a hotel and eat two meals a day, without fresh fat and delicious enjoyment. All the students are all embroidered, wearing hats decorated with treasures, white jade rings on their waists, swords on their left and smelly faces on their right. I am wearing a robe, but I am not sentimental at all. Because there are enough things in your heart to make you happy, don't feel that the enjoyment of food is not as good as others. My efforts and efforts are probably like this.
Although I am old and have no achievements, I am fortunate to be among the gentlemen. However, I have been blessed by the son of heaven. After I became a public official, I worked as a consultant every day, and the whole world misreported my last name. What else?
Now all the students are studying in imperial academy, and the county officials have a little support every day. Their parents have Qiu Ge's legacy at the age of 20, and there is no danger of being frozen and embarrassed. Sit downstairs and recite "poems" and "books" without running around; Some are teachers, some are teachers, some don't ask, don't tell, and some ask but don't; All the books should be kept here. There is no need to record them through other people's hands and read them later. If they are not proficient in their studies and their moral character is not cultivated, if they have no talent and qualifications, they will not be as single-minded as I am. Can you say it's someone else's fault?
Dongyang Ma studied in imperial academy for two years, and his peers praised his virtue. I went to the capital to appear before the emperor, who met me as a fellow villager and wrote a long letter as a gift. The words were fluent and accessible, and I argued with him with a gentle and polite attitude. He said that when he was young, he studied very hard and was a good learner. He was going home to visit his parents, and I told him about the difficulties in his studies. It is said that Yu Mian's fellow villagers are all scholars, and so is Yu. Those who despise me, brag about my wealth and prosperity, and be arrogant to my hometown know the rest!

I liked studying when I was young. Because my family is poor and I can't get books to read, I often borrow them from people who collect books, copy them myself and return them on an agreed date. When the weather is very cold, the water in the inkstone pool is frozen into hard ice, and my fingers can't bend and stretch, so I still don't relax reading. Return it to others as soon as possible after copying, and dare not exceed the agreed time limit slightly. So most people are willing to lend me books, so I can read all kinds of books. As an adult, I admire the theory of sages more, but I can't communicate with knowledgeable teachers and celebrities. Once I walked (ran) a hundred miles and asked my compatriots for advice with scriptures in my hand. His predecessors were highly respected, and his master students crowded his room. His words and attitude have never been euphemistic. I stood beside him, asking questions, asking truth, and bowed my head to him for advice; Sometimes I am reprimanded, my expression is more respectful, my manners are more thoughtful, and I dare not answer a word; Ask him when he is happy. So although I was stupid, I finally learned a lot.
When I was looking for a teacher, I walked in the old valley in the deep mountains with my book box and shoes on my back. In the severe winter, the wind was cold and the snow was several feet deep, and my feet and skin were frozen and cracked. When I arrived at the school house, my limbs were stiff and I couldn't move. The servant poured me hot water and covered me with a quilt. It took a long time to warm up. Staying in a hotel, eating two meals a day, no fresh, fat and delicious enjoyment. The students' scholars are all well-dressed, wearing red scarves and jewels, with white jade rings around their waist, knives on the left and sachets on the right, which are as bright as gods; I'm wearing an old cotton gown and a rag, and I'm not jealous. Because there are enough things in my heart to make me happy, I don't feel that the enjoyment of food and clothing is inferior to others. My efforts and hardships are probably like this.
Although I am old now, I have achieved nothing, but fortunately, I am still among the gentlemen, bearing the honor of the son of heaven, following the emperor every day, waiting for inquiries, and praising my name inappropriately under the sun, not to mention anyone who can surpass me.
Now students are studying in imperial academy, and the court provides meals every day. Parents give them leather clothes in winter and kudzu clothes in summer, so don't worry about freezing and hunger. Sitting downstairs reading classics, there is no hard work; There are teachers like doctors, who ask for advice without asking themselves and get nothing; All the books you should have are concentrated here. You don't have to copy them by hand like me. You can borrow them from others before you can see them. If some of them are not proficient in their studies and their moral quality has not developed, if they are not talented and have low qualifications, they will not be as single-minded as I am. Can you say it's someone else's fault?
In July 2009, the self-study exam "Ideological and Moral
