Thieves offer their skills.
General Zi Fa of Chu likes to look for skilled people. There was a man in the state of Chu who was good at stealing, so he went to see him and said, "I heard that your master is looking for someone with skills, and I am also good at stealing, and I am willing to contribute my personal strength with my skills." After hearing this, Zi Fa came out to treat the guests with courtesy without buttoning his clothes or wearing a crown. Everyone around you said, "Thieves steal from the world. Why?" Zi Fa said, "Not all of you have this ability." A few days later, Qi invaded Chu, and Zifa led an army to meet the enemy. In three wars, the Chu army lost three times. The wise men and brave generals of Chu were helpless in the face of the powerful Qi army, which became stronger and stronger. At this time, the thief invited the war and said, "I have some meager skills and I am willing to help you." Zifa said, "All right!" He sent a thief without asking. Under the cover of night, he stole the sleeping account of the commander-in-chief of the Qi army. Zifa sent an emissary to return the sleeping account to the commander-in-chief of the Qi army and said to him, "The soldiers who went out to collect firewood found your curtains and came to return them specially." The next night, the thief went to steal the pillow of the commander-in-chief of the Qi army, and Zifa sent someone to return it. On the third night, God secretly got the hairpin on the commander in chief's head, and Zifa sent someone to return it. When the Qi army heard about it, they were very scared. The commander-in-chief said to his subordinates in horror, "If we don't retreat, I'm afraid Zifa will send someone to take my head." Therefore, the Qi army retreated without a fight. Therefore, there are no people with low status and low ability, and the key lies in how to use them.
2. The Chinese translation of "Intelligent Thief" recorded in the translation of "Bi Tan": When he was a magistrate of Pucheng County, Fujian Province in ancient times, there was a theft case in the local area, and several suspects were arrested, but he could not confirm who the real thief was. So he had a brainwave and deliberately claimed that there was a bell in a temple, which was very strange and could identify thieves. Whenever a thief touches it, it will make a sound. He sent someone to greet the bell. If it's a thief, there will be noise if you touch it. After telling the ancient story, he pretended to lead the officials of the county official's son to make a solemn sacrifice, and then surrounded the clock with cloth. He asked all the suspects to reach out and touch them one by one. After everyone touched it, he didn't check whether the clock sounded, but looked at everyone's hands. Because he secretly sent someone to paint ink on the clock beforehand, the real criminal was afraid that Zhong Zhen's bell would ring, so he didn't dare to touch the clock at all. There is no ink on nature's hands. The original words tell us that Pucheng County, an ancient state, is lost every day, and all the ignorant people caught are thieves. In ancient times, there was a saying that "a god has a bell that can distinguish thieves, and it is the supreme spirit", which made people welcome it to the back pavilion and shrine and led a group of prisoners to stand in front of the clock. Self-report: "Not a thief, if you touch it, you will be silent;" If you are a thief, you will feel the sound when you touch it. " Shugu received the same post and prayed for the bell, which was very sad. After the sacrifice, the curtain surrounded it. It was Yin who made people draw clocks with ink. For a long time, prisoners were led to touch it one by one. There was ink when they came out. There is only one prisoner who has no ink and is regarded as a thief. He is afraid of touching a noisy bell.
3. On the Classical Chinese Criticism of the Thief "The Biography of Chen Qian in the Later Han Dynasty": (Chen) Stay in the countryside and settle down. It has disputes and needs correct judgment, knowing the right and wrong, and retreating those who have no complaints. So I sighed, "It is better to punish Chen Jun than to lack him." At that time, the people were frugal, and thieves entered their rooms at night and stopped at the beams. Seeing her in the shade of the tree, she called her children and grandchildren from the whole stroke and said in a positive tone, "Madam, you should encourage yourself. Bad people are not necessarily evil, but they are used to sex, which is why they are like this. Gentleman on the beam, embarrassed! "Thief frightened, throw yourself on the ground, blame it. Xu Pi said, "You don't look like a villain. You should be self-denying and anti-good. However, this is because of poverty. "I left two silks. Naturally, there are no thieves in one county.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Chen Ya. Every time someone encounters any dispute, they will ask Chen Ya to come out to uphold justice, because everyone knows that Chen Ya is an honest and sincere person, and everyone likes him and listens to him! One year, there was a famine in Chen Ya's hometown, and many people could not find jobs. Some people go to other places to work, and some people become thieves because they have no work to do, stealing other people's things!
One night, a thief sneaked into Chen Ya's house to steal something after sleeping in Chen Ya. The thief didn't know that Chen Ya found him hiding on the roof beam, but Chen Ya pretended not to see him and sat quietly in the living room drinking tea. After a while, Chen Ya called the whole family to the living room and said to them, "You know, people have only lived for decades. If you don't grasp the time of hard work, it will be too late to try again when you are old. Therefore, we should form a good habit of hard work from an early age, and only when we grow up can we make good contributions to society, family and ourselves! Of course, there are also some people who don't work hard and just like to entertain themselves. These people are not bad in nature, but they will do some bad things that endanger society only if they don't develop good habits. Now you look up, the gentleman on our roof is a living example. 」
Hearing this, the thief climbed down from the beam and knelt in front of Chen Ya: "Master Chen, I'm sorry! I know I was wrong, please forgive me! Instead of scolding the thief, Chen Ya said to the thief very kindly, "I don't think you are a bad person, maybe you are forced by the hardships of life. I will give you some money now. Stop stealing. Work hard. As long as you can correct your mistakes, you will still be a useful person! The thief was moved and cried and said to Chen Ya, "Thank you, Master Chen! I will definitely work hard! Later, the thief really got rid of his bad habits and tried to become a good young man praised by everyone! Later, people turned Chen Ya's words into the idiom "fish begins to stink at the head" to describe a thief who steals from others!
(Chen) I'm in the country, calm down. It has disputes and needs correct judgment, knowing the right and wrong, and retreating those who have no complaints. So I sighed, "It is better to punish Chen Jun than to lack him." At that time, the people were frugal, and thieves entered their rooms at night and stopped at the beams. Seeing her in the shade of the tree, she called her children and grandchildren from the whole stroke and said in a positive tone, "Madam, you should encourage yourself. Bad people are not necessarily evil, but they are used to sex, which is why they are like this. The gentleman on the beam is outrageous! " The thief was frightened and threw himself on the ground, complaining. Xu Pi said, "You don't look like a villain. You should be self-denying and anti-good. However, this is because of poverty. " I left two pieces of silk. Naturally, there are no thieves in one county.
Translation:
[hide] In the countryside, Chen Ya treats things with a peaceful mind. When people went to court, Chen Ya made a fair judgment, explained right and wrong clearly and in detail, and when people went back, they didn't complain. Everyone lamented: "I would rather be punished than criticized by Ai Chen." During the famine, there was no harvest. The thief entered Chen Ya's house at night and hid on the beam. After Chen Ya found out secretly, he got up and adjusted his clothes, gathered his children and grandchildren together, and seriously admonished them, saying, "People have to encourage themselves. Unkind people are not necessarily bad in nature, and (bad) habits are often formed by (not paying attention to) character cultivation, so we have come to this step. That's the man on the top beam! " Frightened, the thief jumped from the beam to the ground, bowed to the ground and sincerely repented. Chen Ya told him slowly and in detail: "Look at your appearance, you don't look like a bad person, as long as you control your illegitimate desires. Do this because you are poor. " Ordered two silks to be presented to the thief. Since then, there has been no theft in this county.

Qin defeated Changping (1) and trapped 400,000 people (2), so he surrounded Handan with soldiers (3). If the vassals dare not go up, Handan will die. Ping Yuanjun sat helplessly at home, worried. He watched the officials of the court and asked, "What's the unfinished business of the Prime Minister?"

Translation of "Theft Failure"
Qin defeated Zhao in Changping, buried 400,000 prisoners alive, and led the army to surround Handan. The reinforcements sent by the governors are all watching the success or failure of the Chen Bing camp. They dare not come forward to help, and Handan will fall. Ping Yuanjun has no way to deal with it. Sitting around at home, he looked back at the officials of the Xiang government and asked, "Is there anything unfinished in the Xiang government?" Before the official could answer, Xin had arrived and replied, "It's just that there are a group of thieves outside the city and they haven't been caught yet."
"I didn't get it" is selected from "Miscellanies of Sad Son". Miscellaneous Tales of a Sad Son is a collection of fables with 39 stories. Ai Zi is a funny and clever character invented by the author, which runs through the story. The old title of this book was written by Su Shi in Song Dynasty. This paper describes the image of a group of faint and mediocre officials, who try their best to please and whitewash the peace, have no opinion on major issues, but speak first on minor issues, which is an ugly state of flattery.
6. Fan was robbed of classical Chinese. Read the original text: Fan Yanyuan, Zibo Frog, Wujun, Qiantang. Zuyuezhi, Dr. imperial academy, that's not enough. The father's spirit is in, and the father is worried, so as to destroy the pawn. When Yan Yuan was a child, he mourned for the ceremony and sympathized with the Party. He is studious, has extensive knowledge of classics and history, and is also good at Buddhism. However, he is modest and respectful, and he is not proud of his strengths. The family is poor, and only gardening is an industry. When I tried to travel, I saw people stealing their plates, and Yan Yuan suddenly quit. My mother asked her why, and she answered truthfully. Mother asked who the thief was and replied, "I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to retire." Today, I would like to make my name public. "So mother and son kept the secret. Or someone stole bamboo shoots in the ditch, so Yan Yuan used wood as a bridge to cross it. Of course, thieves are shameful, and there is no repeated theft in a township.
Fan Nan lived in Qiantang, Wuxian County. Yan Yuan was very studious when he was young. He studied classics and history extensively and studied Buddhism deeply. But he is very modest and never looks down on others because of his own advantages. Yan Yuan's family is very poor and lives only by growing vegetables. Once, Yan Yuan came out from home and found someone stealing his cabbage. Yan Yuan hurried home. Mother asked him why, and Yan Yuan told her what she had just seen. Mother asked who the thief was, and Yan Yuan said, "I came back because I was afraid of being ashamed of the thief. I'll tell you his name, I hope you won't reveal it to others! " Since then, mother and son have kept this secret strictly. There is a ditch outside Yan Yuan's vegetable garden. Someone crossed the ditch to steal his bamboo shoots. Yan Yuan deliberately cut down trees and built a bridge in the ditch, so that people who steal bamboo shoots don't have to cross the river. People who steal bamboo shoots are very ashamed of this, and there are no thieves in this area anymore.
Abrupt: hasty: reason: detailed explanation: say it.
Wen Fan agrees with the thief's treatment because Fan doesn't care about the thief's virtue, so that they can know their ugliness with kindness and feel ashamed, thus turning over a new leaf; Don't be evil for people's evil, this gentleman's way is also! I don't agree because what Fan did was a bit like Jean Valjean stealing a silver candlestick from the bishop's house under the cover of the bishop in Les Miserables. The so-called serving people with virtue
