Inform Ji Zimao to write a book

Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty

You are young and creative. If you are new to composition, you will know the way. I have seen you as a thousand-mile horse, and I have known each other. When all the ministers saw it, they all moved and congratulated each other, saying: "My dear gentlemen, this is the first one to sing." After the Guiyou imperial examination, he suddenly became arrogant, admiring the past without considering his abilities, being selfish and contented . Suddenly he lost his way to Handan and crawled back.

In the spring of Bingzi, I did not want to try it, but your brothers came to persuade me, saying that it was not appropriate to dampen your spirit, and I had no choice but to follow it, which led to my collapse. If your art is not good at all, why should you be so different from others? However, I secretly said to myself, "Heaven may want to accumulate a lot and make a big splash." I also hope that you will punish the shame of repeated defeats, and bow your head to do it. Little did he know that over the course of a year, things would get worse and worse, and they would become more and more decadent. Do you think you are not sensitive? It is true that you are young and ignorant, but you are ignorant. Is it because you are not doing well? I have heard that you keep the door closed all day long and do not let go of the book. This is what he created. He must aim high and far, but be tired of doing both. The so-called Chu is heading north! If you want to make progress, isn't it difficult!

I want to be like the ancient craftsman. Fang He also conforms to the trend of the world. Only the most talented people can do it. Since the rise of the Ming Dynasty, it has been rare. In the past, I passed the exams as a child and stole my reputation. I falsely claimed that I was the best in the Song Dynasty and was no different from anyone else. After three years, the new work has not been completed, and the old work has been wiped out. Looking back on what I did at that time is enough to make me laugh and nod to myself. Jiachen came down to the first place, and then tried his best to find his way back to the past. He thought about it day and night, worked hard and worked hard, but fortunately he succeeded in his art. However, he only won the first place in Zhier, but he still failed to win the Martingale Literature Field and the Art Garden. Now that your talents are not better than mine, it would be wrong to follow my losses instead of looking down at what I have gained!

My family has made a fortune in poetry and writing, and I have worked hard throughout my life to do good things. Therefore, As a result, for future generations, they say they dare not follow in the footsteps of the ancient family’s famous virtues. I really hope that you will continue your ambition and become more prosperous, and you will be remembered by the Yiwu family and the history books! Why do you want to steal the first place in order to make our sect great? I sincerely love you deeply and hope for your kindness. I don’t care about you. I beg to belittle myself, but I am willing to be a horse under the chariot.

Now that you want me to leave you alone, I dare not blame you heavily! But you should think more deeply and not be willing to give up. If the talent is inferior, the separation cannot be strong; if the talent can be done but not done, who is to blame! I am perverse, and I am wrong, and I am confused by the order! And it is like writing a verse, I am so solemn and sincere. It's been a few years, but I've been in trouble, and I've changed a lot. Is this what I ordered? It's just a small art, how can it take time to master it? I'll stop here, you can think about it! (Excerpted from "Zhang Wenzhong" "Complete Collection")
