Idiom Allusions

Zu Ti of the Jin Dynasty was a man with an open mind and lofty ambitions. But when he was a child, he was a naughty child who didn't like reading. When he entered his youth

he realized his lack of knowledge and felt deeply that he could not serve the country without studying, so he started reading hard. He read extensively and studied history carefully, from which he learned a wealth of knowledge and made great progress in his knowledge. He had been in and out of Luoyang, the capital, several times. People who had come into contact with him said that Zu Ti was a talented person who could assist the emperor in governing the country. When Zu Ti was 24 years old, someone recommended him to become an official, but he refused and continued to study hard.

Later, Zu Ti and his childhood friend Liu Kun served as the chief registrar of Sizhou.

He and Liu Kun had a deep relationship. Not only did they often sleep in the same bed and quilt, they also had the same lofty ideals: to make contributions, revive the Jin Dynasty, and become the pillars of the country.

Once, Zu Ti heard the crow of a rooster in his sleep in the middle of the night. He kicked Liu Kun awake and said to him: "Did you hear the crow of the rooster?" Liu Kun said: "Midnight" Hearing a cock crow is unlucky. Zu Ti said: "I don't think so. How about we just get up and practice swordplay when we hear the rooster crow?" Liu Kun readily agreed. So they got up after the rooster crows every day to practice their swords. The light of the swords danced and the sound of the swords clanged. Spring goes to winter, cold comes and heat comes, never stopping. Hard work paid off, and after long-term hard study and training, they finally became all-round talents capable of writing good articles and leading troops to win battles. Zu Ti was named General Zhenxi, realizing his desire to serve the country; Liu Kun became Zhonglang General in the Northern Expedition, taking charge of the military affairs of the three states of Bing, Hebei and You, and gave full play to his literary and military talents.

This is not an evil sound! It’s because of dancing.

After crossing the river, Prime Minister Zuo Rui offered wine to the army for consultation. Living in Jingkou, Ti joined Xiao Jian and said to Yu Rui: "The chaos in the Jin Dynasty was not caused by the lack of moral integrity at the top but the resentment and rebellion at the bottom. The clans fought for power and fought against each other, so the Rong and Di took advantage of the opportunity and poisoned the country." Now that the remnants of the people have been defeated by the thieves, they want to stand up for themselves. Your Majesty, if you can, please send your generals out to unite those who are like Ti and restore the Central Plains. The heroes of the county and country will surely be able to respond to the wind!?

Ruisu He had no ambitions for the Northern Expedition, so he took Ti as General Fenwei and Governor of Yuzhou. He was given a thousand men and three thousand pieces of cloth, but no armor. He had to recruit his own troops.

Ti sent more than a hundred of his tribes across the river, struck the river in the middle, and swore: "Ancestor Ti cannot clear the Central Plains and restore the economy, just like the big river!" Then he stationed in Huaiyin, smelted and forged troops, After recruiting more than 2,000 people, we advanced.

Translation

He heard the rooster crow in the middle of the night. He woke Liu Kun up and said: "This is not an unlucky sound." ?Get up and dance with the sword.

After crossing the river, Prime Minister Zuo Sima Rui asked him to serve as military advisor and wine drinker. Zu Ti lived in Jingkou, gathered some brave and strong men, and said to Sima Rui: The troubles in the Jin Dynasty were not caused by the emperor's immorality and the resentment of his subordinates, but by the fact that the royal families fought for power and killed each other. This allowed the people of Rong and Di to take advantage of the loophole and cause disasters throughout the Central Plains. Now that the remnants of the Jin Dynasty have been devastated and harmed, everyone is thinking about self-improvement. Your Majesty, you can indeed send generals to lead the troops, so that people like me can lead the army to regain the Central Plains. Heroes from all over the country will definitely hear about it. Who responded!?

Sima Rui had never had any ambitions for the Northern Expedition. After listening to Zu Ti’s words, he appointed Zu Ti as General Fenwei and governor of Yuzhou, and only allocated him rations for a thousand men. Thousands of pieces of cloth were not provided with weapons, leaving Zu Ti to find a way to raise them on his own.

Zu Ti led his private army to cross the Yangtze River with more than a hundred families. He beat the oars in the river and swore: "If Zu Ti cannot make the Central Plains clear and recover successfully, it will be like this." The river is gone forever!? So he stationed in Huaiyin, built a furnace to smelt and cast weapons, recruited more than 2,000 people, and then moved forward.

Original text:

At the beginning, Quan said to Meng and Jiang Qin: "You are now in charge of Tu, and you should learn more about it." Since then, Meng said: "In the army, I am often busy with many tasks, and I am afraid I won't be able to study again." Quan said, "Why do you want me to become a doctor in classics? But if you have to read about the past, it will be better for you." Gu, when I was young, I wrote poems, books, rites, Zuo Zhuan, and Guoyu, but I didn't read the Yi. Since the time of Tongshi, I have studied the three histories and military books of various families, and I think it is of great benefit to the two ministers. Enlightenment is bound to be achieved by learning, so why not bother with it? It is better to read Sun Tzu, Liu Tao, Zuo Zhuan, Guoyu and Three Histories. Confucius said, "It is useless to not eat all day long and not sleep all night to think about it. It is not as good as studying." When Wu Dang was engaged in military affairs, he never let go of the scrolls. Meng De also said that he was old and eager to learn. Why didn't you just encourage Xu Xie? "Meng Shi studied hard and was tireless. What he saw was unmatched by the old Confucian scholars." Later, Lu Su and Zhou Yu, who was the predecessor of Lu Su, often wanted to be wronged because of their excessive opinions. Su Kao and Meng Bei said: "I call you the eldest brother, but he has an ear for martial arts. As of now, he is learned and wise, and he is not the Amen of Wu Xia." Meng said: "We have been separated for three days, and we treat each other with admiration. My eldest brother is talking about this now. , why should he be called Ranghou? My brother, Gong Jin, is difficult to succeed, and he is a neighbor of Guan Yu. People. If you are right now, you should be treated like a native." The secret is the three policies of Su Chen, which should be accepted with respect and kept secret. Quan often sighed and said: "When people grow up and make progress, they are like Lu Meng and Jiang Qin, who are beyond their reach. With wealth and honor, they are more able to study hard, indulge in writing and passing on books, value wealth and uphold righteousness, and they can achieve great deeds and become a national scholar." , It's not enough!"

Translation:

During the Three Kingdoms period, Lu Meng, the general of the Wu State, had no cultural knowledge, so Sun Quan encouraged him to study history books and the art of war. Lu Meng always argued that the army had too many things to do and had no time to study.

Sun Quan said: "You have to squeeze out the time yourself. In the past, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty would always hold a You won't put down a book! Why don't you have time?"

After a pause, Sun Quan said again: "You don't have as many things as me, right? I don't want you to study knowledge. , but I just want you to read some ancient books and get some inspiration from them. "

Lu Meng asked: "But I don't know which books I should read?"

Sun Quan smiled after hearing this. He said: "You can first read some art of war books such as "Sun Tzu" and "Six Tao", and then read some history books such as "Zuo Zhuan" and "Historical Records". These books will be very useful for leading troops to fight in the future." < /p>

After listening to Sun Quan's words, Lu Meng began to study and study when he returned. From then on, he never let go of the book and persevered. In the end, he became the commander-in-chief of the Wu Kingdom. He was brave and resourceful and repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats.

Translation

Whenever Gu Yanwu traveled, he carried many horses and mules with him to load books. When I arrived at a dangerous place, I asked the retired police officer for details; if some of the information was different from what I usually heard, I opened a book in an inn in a nearby market to check and correct it. Sometimes I walked directly through the plains and wilderness, and there was nothing worth paying attention to, so I silently read the annotations and evidence of various classics on horseback; occasionally I forgot something, so I opened the book at an inn in a nearby market and looked at it carefully.

Interpretation of the article

"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." Many people's initial understanding of Gu Yanwu probably originated from this famous saying full of patriotic passion. This patriotic thinker and famous scholar in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties was diligent in studying since childhood. He was enlightened at the age of 6 and started reading history books and literary classics at the age of 10. He treats reading and learning honestly and seriously. The article "Gu Yan Wu Can't Let Go of the Scroll" uses very concise language to vividly portray Gu Yanwu, who is eager to learn and tireless. Wherever Gu Yanwu went, books were always with him. He would carry books with him on two horses and three mules. He would sit on horseback and recite scriptures. "Occasionally he would forget them," and he would have to find books to review carefully. The valuable thing is that Gu Yanwu is not a book reader. Once he finds something inconsistent with what he usually hears, he has to open the book to check and correct it. It is precisely with this spirit that Gu Yanwu completed a book based on on-the-spot investigation, which combines documentary materials with on-the-spot historical investigation - "Book of the County of the World".
