Liu Shu, courtesy name Daoyuan. In Liu Shu's scholarship, everything from historical allusions, geography, official titles, family names to public case documents of previous generations must be taken out separately for verification. In order to get a book even if it was hundreds of miles away, I started reading and copying it as soon as I got it, forgetting to sleep and eat. When traveling to Wan'an Mountain with Sima Guang, there were inscriptions on the roadside. After reading the inscriptions, it turned out that they were famous generals from the Five Dynasties. Unknown to others, Liu Shu was able to tell what this person did and what happened. When he went back to check the old history, it turned out to be true. Song Cidao was the magistrate of Haozhou. He had many books at home, and Liu Shu went to his house to borrow them. Ci Dao prepared meals every day and followed the etiquette of his master. Liu Shu said: "This is not the purpose of my coming. Don't disturb my business." They all left. I stayed alone in the pavilion, reciting manuscripts day and night. I stayed there for more than ten days, and then I went back after reading the book. Liu Shu's family has always been poor. He has no way to provide for himself and does not take anything from others. When I returned home from Luonan, it was winter and there was nothing to keep out the cold. Sima Guang gave him clothes and an old mattress, but Liu Shu refused to accept them. Sima Guang gave them to him and left. When he arrived at Yingzhou, he sealed them and returned them to Sima Guang.

The post of county magistrate is used to assist the county magistrate. There is nothing in political affairs that should not be interfered with. Under him are Zhu Bo and Wei, and Zhu Bo and Wei Cai each have their own special duties. The status of the county magistrate is higher than that of the principal Bo and Wei, and he is close to the county magistrate. As usual, in order to avoid suspicion, he will not comment on official matters. Before the official document was issued, Li Xu went to the Prime Minister with the completed case file in his arms, rolled up the front content, held it with his left hand, took out the signature at the end of the paper with his right hand, waddled in like a goose or duck, squinted upright, He said to the county magistrate: "You still need to sign your name." The county magistrate took a pen and looked at the place where his signature should be, and signed his name carefully.
He looked up at the clerk and asked, "Is that all right?" The clerk said, "That's it." Then he left. The county magistrate did not dare to take a closer look at the contents of the official document, and was at a loss as to what it was about. Although the official position is higher, the real power and influence are lower than those of the chief minister and the lieutenant. When folk proverbs list idle and redundant official positions, they must mention the county magistrate, and even use the magistrate as a mutual insult. The post of county magistrate was established. Is this the original intention?
Han Jue dreamed that Ziyu (Han Jue’s father, who was deceased at the time) said to him: "The next morning, avoid the left and right sides of the chariot!" So (Han Jue) drove in the chariot to chase the Marquis of Qi. . Bing Xia said: "Shoot the charioteer, he is a nobleman." Qihou said: "It is not polite to call him a nobleman and then shoot him." (This is a stupid move of Qihou) Shoot the man on his left, Fall under the car; shoot the person on his right and fall into the car. (Jin army) General Qi Wuzhang (Jin doctor, Qi Wu clan, named Zhang) lost his chariot and followed Han Jue, saying: "Please give me a ride." If he followed Han Jue to the left or right, (Han Jue) would stop him with his elbow. Make him stand behind him (according to Han Jue, he did this because of the warning in his dream to prevent Qi Wuzhang from being harmed). Han Jue bent down and placed Rong You, who was lying in the car, securely. Feng Chou's father exchanged positions with the Marquis of Qi (this is because Feng Chou's father, in order to protect the Marquis of Qi, took advantage of Han Jue's lower body to place Rong You in order to exchange positions with the Marquis of Qi, so as to confuse the enemy when he could not escape). When they were about to reach Huaquan (the name of the spring, located at the foot of Huabuzhu Mountain), the horses on both sides of (Qihou) (the two horses in the middle were serving, and the two horses on the side were riding) were hooked by branches and other branches. Chou's father was sleeping in a sleeping car when a snake appeared from under him and struck the snake with his arm. His arm was injured but he concealed the extent of the injury. So you can't push the cart and get caught up. 4. Translation of Classical Chinese

Wen Zhengming wrote the Thousand-Character Essay soon, with ten copies a day at the rate, and the book progressed greatly. Throughout my life, I have never been sloppy in writing, or answered people's simple notes, rarely taking care of them, but I will never tire of changing them over and over again, so the older I get, the more sophisticated they become.
Note: Imitate the post and imitate the calligraphy and painting. Day: every day. Rate: Standard. Book: calligraphy. Sui: So, just. Yu: Yes, yes. Taste: once. Gouqi: perfunctory, careless. Or: sometimes. Jianzha: letters, letters. Less: Slightly. Easy: change, replace. Disgusted: I find it troublesome and annoying. Therefore: So. Yueyi: more, more.
Translation
Wen Zhengming wrote "Wen Wen" before posting, and he wrote ten books a day as a standard, and his calligraphy improved rapidly. He has never been careless about writing in his life. Sometimes when someone replies to a letter and it's a little bit incomplete, I must rewrite it over and over again without fear of trouble. Therefore, his calligraphy became more exquisite and beautiful as he got older. 5. What does "time" mean in classical Chinese?
