Extended information:

You Have Talents and I Am Not Poor comes from "A Gift to Yuan Mei", author: Zheng Banqiao.

Original text:

The morning star breaks away from the wild geese, and a few literati are scattered across the rivers, lakes and seashores.

Wipe away the fruitful flowers of spring and autumn, forcing the frost and snow to make them even more dry.

If a girl is called stunning, her neighbor will praise her for her beauty. You have talents and I am not poor.

If you don’t buy a pearl but a bright mirror, it’s just pre-Qin that you love him.

Translation:

The morning star has cut off many literati and scattered them across rivers, lakes and seashores.

The flowers and fruits of Spring and Autumn are wiped away, and the frost and snow are approaching and they are even more withered.

A woman compliments her stunning neighbor on her beauty. You have a genius and I am not poor.

Not buying pearls or mirrors, but loving other strange things is pre-Qin.

Zheng Banqiao's words may be graceful or bold, while his poems are fresh and smooth, straightforward, free and easy, and have both Shaoling and Fangweng styles. What is even more praised is his "Family Letter", which describes family life, expresses his feelings, is simple and cordial, has sincere feelings, and has no Taoism.

Banqiao is philosophical and thorough, claiming that he "least likes to ask for narration." , said, "(The family letter) has some benefits, let's take a look; if it has no benefits, it's just a window covering, a wall covering, and a cup covering, so why describe it!"

Although Banqiao and Yuan Mei were not acquainted, they still knew each other. He deeply loved Yuan Mei's talent. According to Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Poetry Talk": "Zheng Banqiao of Xinghua was the prime minister of Shandong, and he had never met Yu. When there was a misinformation about Yu's death, Banqiao burst into tears and kicked the ground with his feet. Yu heard that Feelings." At the end of Banqiao's collected works, there are two poems given to Yuan Mei: "The beautiful women in the house are beautiful, and I am not poor if you have talents." Zheng Banqiao once wrote a poem "Zheng Xie, the lackey of Xu Qingteng's family".

He explained in his official slip "Fan County's Reply to Master Wufang": "Xie loved Xu Qingteng's poems the most in his life, and also loved his paintings. Because he loved Xu Qingteng so much, he made a self-governing seal and said: 'Xu Qingteng's disciples' The running dog Zheng Xie'. The seal is true, but the running dog is still empty, but this feeling is still unclear! If Xie was born a hundred years earlier and joined the disciples of Mr. Qingteng, watching his heroic deeds, chanting and drinking, he would be the real one. It's fun to be a running dog.

"

Reading his poems often makes people feel that there is a "true self", not pretentious or artificial, with vivid image, friendly voice and ready to speak out.

Mr. Qi Gong Said: "(Zheng Xie) has everything in his mind that cannot be expressed, and everything in his writing is easy to understand. This is why he is unique among modern and ancient people.
