Zou Ji cultivated more than eight feet, but his appearance was beautiful. In the morning, dressed up and dressed in a mirror, he said to his wife, " I am better than chengbeixugong. who is more beautiful?" ？ ” His wife said, "You are very beautiful. How can Xu Gong compare with you?" The Xu gong in the north of the city is the most beautiful man in the state of qi. Zou Ji did not believe in himself, and asked his concubine, " who is more beautiful than Xu gong?" ？ ” My concubine said, "How can Xu Gong be as good as you?" Dan said, the guest came from outside, talked with him and asked him, "Which is more beautiful, Xu Gong or me?" The guest said, " Xu gong is not as beautiful as you. ". ” Tomorrow, Xu Gong will come, who will look at it and think it is not as good as it is; Looking at yourself in the mirror is as far away as it is. Thinking about it at dusk, he said, "My wife is beautiful and I am private; The beauty of my concubine is afraid of me; The beauty of the guest is me, and I want something from me. "
So he went to the court to see the King of Wei, saying, "I sincerely know that I am not as good as Xu Gongmei. My wife is a private minister, my concubine is afraid of me, and my guests want something from me, all of which are more beautiful than Xu Gong. Today, the land is a thousand miles away, and there are 12 cities. The palace ladies are all private kings, and the courtiers are not afraid of the king. They all want the king within the four borders: from this point of view, the king is very sheltered. "
Wang said, "Good." He ordered: "Those who can stab me in the face will be rewarded; Those who write to admonish me will be rewarded in the middle; Those who can slander the city and hear my ears will be rewarded. " At the beginning of the order, the ministers remonstrated, and the door was crowded; After a few months, from time to time; After the year, although you want to speak, you can't enter.
Yan, Zhao, Han, and Wei Wen-zhi were all in the Qi Dynasty. This is the imperial court, without the need to use war to defeat the enemy.
Translation:
Zou Ji is more than eight feet tall and has a beautiful figure. One morning, he put on his clothes and hat, looked in the mirror and said to his wife, "Who is more beautiful, Xu Gong in the north of the city?" His wife said, "You are very beautiful. Xu Gong can't compare with you!" It turns out that Xu Gong in the north of the city is a handsome man of Qi. Zou Ji didn't trust himself, so he asked his concubine, "Who is more beautiful, Xu Gong or me?" My concubine said, "Xu Gong can't compare with you!" The next day, a guest came from outside. Zou Ji sat and chatted with him and asked him, "Who is more beautiful, Xu Gong or me?" The guest said, "Xu Gong is not as beautiful as you." Another day passed, and Xu Gong came. Zou Ji looked at him carefully and thought he was not as beautiful as him. Looking at yourself in the mirror again, I feel that the difference is too far. Lying in bed at night, I thought about it repeatedly, and finally understood: "My wife praised me because she favored me;" My concubine praises me because she is afraid of me; The guest praised me because he wanted to ask me for something. "
So Zou Ji went to the court to see King Wei and said, "I do know that I am not as beautiful as Xu Gong. However, my wife is partial to me, my concubine is afraid of me, and my guests want to ask me something, saying that I am more beautiful than Xu Gong. Today, the territory of Qi is more than 1, miles in Fiona Fang, and there are 12 cities. Queens, princesses and servants around have never been partial to the King. There are no courtiers in the imperial court who are not afraid of the King, and there are no people in the country who do not want to seek the King's favor. From this point of view, you must be very deceived. "
King Wei said, "Good!" So I gave an order: "Officials at all levels and ordinary people who can accuse me of my mistakes face to face will get the first prize;" Those who advise me in writing will get the second prize; Those who can comment (my fault) in public places and let me hear it will get the third prize. " As soon as the order was issued, many ministers came to advise, and the official gate and yard were like a busy city; A few months later, occasionally someone advised; A year later, even if someone wants to persuade, there is nothing to say.
Yan, Zhao, South Korea and Wei all came to Qi to worship. This is what people say, "conquered other countries in Korea."
Xiaoshi Pond's story of Liu Zongyuan
Walking 12 paces west from the hill, I was delighted to hear the sound of water across the bamboo, like singing a ring. Cut bamboo and take the road, and see the small pool below, and the water is especially clear. The whole stone is considered as the bottom, near the shore, and the bottom of the rolled stone is out, which is for the island, for the mountain, and for the rock. Green trees are luxuriant, covered with
winding and swaying.
there are hundreds of fish in the pond, and all of them swim in the air. The sun is clear, the shadow is on the stone, and the platform is still; [uncle qi]
I am far away, and I have been wandering suddenly, as if I were enjoying myself with a traveler.
looking at the southwest of the pool, you can see it in a zigzag way. Its shore potential is different from each other, and its source is unknown.
sitting on the pool, surrounded by bamboo trees, lonely and empty, sad and cold, quiet and quiet. It's too clear to live for a long time, so
remember it and go.
Travellers: Wu Wuling, Gong Gu, Yu Dizong Xuan. Cui Shi, the second junior, said, "Forgive yourself, and serve me.".
Remember Su Shi's night tour in Chengtian Temple
On October 12th, Yuanfeng, six years ago, he undressed and wanted to sleep at night, and entered the house in the moonlight, so he set out happily. Those who enjoy nothing go to Chengtian Temple to find Zhang Huaimin. And the people were not sleeping, and we walked together in the courtyard.
the courtyard is as empty as water, and the algae and weeds in the water cross each other, covering the bamboo and cypress.
why is there no moon at night? Which place does not have bamboo and cypress? Just lack of people like us who are so free.
A Letter to Zhu Yuansi Wu Jun
The wind and smoke are clean, and the Tianshan Mountains are * * * colored. Floating from the stream, anything. From Fuyang to Tonglu, a hundred miles, strange mountains and different waters, unique in the world.
the water is green and blue. You can swim with fine stones and look straight at them. What a swift arrow, if fierce wave rush. Cold trees are born in high mountains. The negative potential competes with each other; Strive for high points, thousands of peaks. Springs rock, ringing; Good birds sing, and they rhyme. Cicadas are endless, while apes are endless. Those who fly in the sky, look at the peak and rest; Those who manage the affairs of the world, look at the valley and forget the rebellion. The horizontal branch is covered, and it is still faint in the day; Sparse articles reflect each other, and sometimes see the sun.
