1. Verses about indisputability

Bamboo and Stone

Zheng Xie

Stay firm on the green hills and never relax, your roots are still in the broken rocks.

Even though you have endured countless blows, you are still strong, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south.

[Notes]

1. "Bamboo and Stone" is a poem on painting.

2. Firm: It is a metaphor for taking root firmly, as if you are biting and not letting go.

3. Grind: torture. Jianjin: firm and strong.

4. Er: That. This sentence means: No matter how strong the wind from east to west or northwest blows, it cannot be blown down.

[Explanation]

This is a poem with profound meaning. The first two sentences say that bamboo takes root in broken rocks and has a solid foundation. The second sentence says that no matter how strong the wind blows from all directions, and how much torture and blow the bamboo and stone receive, they remain firm and strong. In praising the firm and tenacious spirit of bamboo and stone, the author implies the strength of his own character. "Standing strong despite being struck hard and strong, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south" is often used to describe a person's firm stance in struggle and his character that will never waver under attack.

A short talk about the water on the river is as strong as the sea

Du Fu

Because of the eccentric nature of human nature, he has good sentences, and he will never stop until his words are not shocking.

The poems are full and romantic as we age, and the flowers and birds should not be deeply saddened when spring comes.

A new water sill was added for fishing, so a floating raft was used to enter the boat.

How can I feel like Tao withdrew his hand and asked him to describe his work and travel with me.

[Explanation]

Throughout my life, I like to ponder carefully and search for good poems. I will never give up until the language of the poems reaches an astonishing level.

People are getting older and they write poems casually and perfunctorily. Facing the flowers and birds in spring, they no longer have the deep sorrow of the past.

A new wooden railing was installed on the riverside, allowing me to fish leisurely. I also prepared a small raft to replace the boat that goes in and out of the river.

I hope that with the company of poetry masters like Tao Yuanming and Xie Lingyun, we will definitely write poems, talk and roam together at this time. 2. Quotes about being indifferent to fame and fortune without fighting or grabbing

Chen Yinke is well versed in Chinese and Western studies and is proficient in more than 30 languages, but he does not bother to take the certificate exam and does not even have a diploma.

Liang Qichao knew that he was a "thousand-mile horse", so he strongly recommended him to Cao Yunxiang, the president of Tsinghua University. In the end, Tsinghua University made an exception and hired this "high school student" as a university professor.

It stands to reason that Chen Yinke should be grateful to Liang Qichao from now on, but what is surprising is that when the two get along, there is no trace of Chen Yinke's "following" of Liang Qichao. On the contrary, they often quarreled over some academic issues, and scenes of red-faced and angry stares occurred from time to time. The "grievances" between them were once widely spread by the good guys.

One morning, as soon as Liang Qichao went to work, his colleague handed him a journal and said, "Chen Yinke is going to fight with you again!" Liang Qichao took the journal and looked at it. There was an article signed by Chen Yinke. The target is pointed directly at himself.

It turns out that Liang Qichao once wrote a paper on Tao Yuanming’s motivation for reclusiveness. He believed that the main reason why Tao Yuanming abandoned his official position and returned to seclusion was that the scholar-bureaucrats at that time were shameless and generally lacked a sense of morality. Even if he did not have the power to change reality, at least he was not willing to join in the trend and throw away his personality and integrity. Chen Yinke put forward a different view. He believed that Tao Yuanming resigned from office and went home to farm because after the destruction of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he was "ashamed of the two masters" and vowed not to cooperate with the new regime.

After Liang Qichao finished reading the article, he smiled and said: "This guy always has trouble with us. I will write another article to fight with him." A colleague on the side had some grudges with Chen Yinke. Seeing Liang Qichao say this , then suggested in a low voice: "Mr. Liang, Chen Yinke has an ulterior motive. He is insinuating and scolding you! Sir, you were an official in the Qing Dynasty and again in the Republic of China. Chen Yinke is not insinuating that you are in the 'two masters of affairs'" "?"

When Liang Qichao heard this, his face turned dark and looked very ugly. Suddenly, he angrily shouted at the colleague: "Get out! I know Chen Yinke's character. Please don't judge a gentleman's mind based on a villain's heart in the future!" The colleague who was causing trouble immediately walked away in embarrassment.

After Chen Yinke learned about this, he admired Liang Qichao's character even more. Although Liang Qichao and Chen Yinke often bickered and refused to give in to each other over some academic differences, they still supported each other, respected and trusted each other in work and life, and never listened to the instigation of others. They are "dead" academically, but they are close friends in life. This kind of friendship between gentlemen and the state of contention and non-dispute cannot but be admired. 4. Find some poems about "Don't compete with others to win or lose"

It doesn't matter if you let them stand three feet apart

---- Compose a poem to calm the dispute

According to "Song Bai Lei Chao" records that Shangshu Yang Bin retired and returned to his hometown. His family's old house was occupied by a neighbor, and some descendants of the family wanted to file a complaint and sent a complaint to Yang Bin for review. Yang Bin wrote a poem at the back:

My neighbors invaded me and I followed Yi. After all, I have to think about it before I have time.

Go up to the base of Hanguang Hall, where the autumn wind is fading and the grass is leaving.

When the younger generation saw the poem, they did not dare to mention it again.

The Qing Dynasty's "Essays on Liangban Qiuyu'an" records that Yang Zhu, the Minister of Rites in the Ming Dynasty, had his house occupied by someone else for one or two feet, and his family came to tell him. Yang wrote a poem:

There is no room for competition, so one wall is divided into two.

The whole world is a royal land, so it won’t matter if it takes a while.

When the neighbors who occupied the land knew about it, they couldn't help but feel ashamed and admired, and took the initiative to return the land they occupied.

The Ming Dynasty's "Allusions to the Dynasty" contains: Yang Fu, a young minister in Dali, Nanjing during the Ming Dynasty, raised two pigs at home. Every day he asked his boy to go to Houhu to collect algae to feed the pigs. On this day, the boy went to Houhu again and met Fasi's family. They had a quarrel because of picking duckweeds. As a result, the boy was beaten and went home to cry to his master. Yang Fu heard this and wrote a poem:

By the lake behind Taipingmen, it was not the ancestors of the Jun family who went to the fields.

If you can’t tolerate a little duckweed, how can you support the boat in your belly?

Fasi heard this and went to Yang’s house to apologize in person.

There is an alley in Tongcheng, Anhui, which is no more than a hundred meters long and no more than six feet wide. It is called Liuchi Lane. This is the former residence of Zhang Ying, a senior official of the Qing Dynasty. The inscription on Liuchi Lane records: "There is a gap next to the house of Zhang Ying, a scholar of Wenhua Palace in the Qing Dynasty, which is adjacent to the Wu family. The Wu family used it more and more. The family sent letters to the capital, and the public approved the poems and sent them back later, saying:

A piece of paper is only for the wall, so why not let it be three feet long?

The Great Wall is still there today, but Qin Shi Huang’s family has not seen it. After hearing this, the Wu family gave in three feet, so Liuchi Lane got its name."

The story of Liuchi Lane has been passed down to this day because people admired Zhang Ying. magnanimity. It allows future generations to understand that humility is a virtue.
