Yaodian translation

Poetry and songs can shock ghosts and gods. The original emperor said, "What a loss! I command you to learn music and teach your son to be straight and warm, broad and chestnut, just but not humiliating, simple but not proud. Poetry expresses ambition, Song Zongyan ⑤, sound is eternal, law and harmony. Eight tones are harmonious and have no phase (6). Heaven and man are one. " Wei Xiao said, "Yu (7)! Give a stone and a stone (8) and all animals will dance. " Note 1 music; Music official. ② Zhou Zi: Minors. 3 chestnuts: respectfully. 4 None: Don't. ⑤ Yong: Yong means singing. (6) take: lose. Xia Lun: Order means harmony. Yu (Wu): OK, OK. (8) Tap lightly. Stone: a kind of ancient musical instrument. Shun Di said, "Hey! I appointed you as the music official to teach young people to be honest and gentle, generous and respectful, strong but not tyrannical, simple but not arrogant. Poetry expresses thoughts and feelings, and songs express the language of thoughts and feelings. The timbre should conform to the melody of singing, and the melody should be harmonious. The tones of the eight musical instruments can be reconciled without losing order, which makes God and people feel harmonious after listening. " Wei Xiao said, "All right! I tapped on the stone chime to make all kinds of animals dance to the music. " Wei Xiao's On the Function of Poetry and Music, which was read, was later regarded as a classic speech of "poetry teaching" by Confucianism, and also became a literary view respected by officials in past dynasties, and became our national tradition. According to this view, poetry and music are expressions of people's inner thoughts and emotions; The highest standard of performance is harmony; Harmony is beauty, elegance, and can shock ghosts and gods; Harmonious poems and songs are used to cultivate people's inner sentiments and cultivate refined gentlemen. Simply put, poetry and music are the most important means of education, not for self-venting or entertainment. Nowadays, it is impossible for pop music and ballroom dancing to cultivate a gentleman in the traditional sense, and poetry has become the self-venting of a few people who are considered mentally ill. This earth-shaking change is our blessing and our misfortune, just like the reinforced concrete jungle is to the countryside. After Shun Di acceded to the throne, the original text of "Three Fires" proposed that there are two states in ten, two mountains in ten and two mountains in ten. For example, punishment (3), exile (4), flogging as official punishment, slapping as teaching punishment (5) and gold as redemption punishment. Forgive the disaster (6) and finally punish the thief (7). Qin zai, Qin zai, is the punishment of T-shirt zai (8)! Work in Youzhou (9) put it in worship (10)! Three dangers (1 1) jump three seedlings, fish mountain (12) drown four sins, and the world is salty. Note ① Zhao: This refers to the division of regions. 2 dredge: dredge. 3 image: portrayal. Canon: Often, often. Standard punishment: five kinds of punishment are commonly used: Mo, Mo, Mo, Gong and Da Bi. (4) Mobility: exile. You: Forgive me. ⑤ Jump out: it was used as a tool for corporal punishment in ancient schools. (6) Sheng: negligence. C: So. (7) Xun: Shit. Thief: Used as "then". (8) T-shirt: steady. (9) Youzhou: Place name, in remote areas in the north. (10) Chongshan: Place name, south of Huangpi, Hubei. (1 1) Sanmiao: the name of an ancient country, now in Hunan and Jiangxi. Three dangers: place names, in today's Dunhuang area of Gansu Province. (12) Ji: Exile. Yushan: Place name, in the East. Shun demarcated the boundaries of the twelve states, sealed the land on the twelve mountains as an altar, and dredged the river. Shun described five common punishments on utensils, using exile instead of five punishments to show leniency, flogging to punish criminal officials, whipping with sticks to punish those responsible for education who committed crimes, and using copper as a penalty for atonement. Because of negligent crime, it can be pardoned; If you commit a crime and don't repent, you must use punishment. Be careful, be careful, and be careful when using punishment. Shun exiled * * * workers to Youzhou, Gou Dou to Chongshan, Sanmiao to Sanwei, Kun to Yushan. The four sinners were punished as they deserved, and everyone in the world was completely convinced. After Shun Di came to power, he burned three fires: delineating national boundaries, formulating penalties, and banishing Minister Yao, Gong, Gou Dou, Kun and San Miao, so everyone in the world surrendered. The next step is to appoint hundreds of officials to make the state machine work. Shun made his debut in politics at the age of 30, and stayed in the position of emperor for 50 years, making him famous in history. Our confidence in the new official in China is mostly based on "three fires". The focus of Shun Di's "Three Fires" is punishment, which shows that he attaches importance to "ruling the country according to law". This is in sharp contrast with the emperors of later generations who built great projects, rewarded heroes and fought for power and profit after winning the world. It can also be noted that Shun Di is cautious in using punishment, aiming at punishment, distinguishing crimes and imposing appropriate punishment. This is the difference between an enlightened monarch and a tyrant (such as Qin Shihuang and Sui Chang Di). The key to governing the country lies in governing people's hearts. Not only should rewards and punishments be clear, but also rewards and punishments should be moderate, so that people can rule the world without being annoyed. Du Fu, a poet who is famous for worrying about the country and the people, once said, "Let the monarch be Yao and Shun, and then make the customs pure." This statement expressed his yearning for the Yao and Shun dynasties. Shun Di represents the first heaven on the first day of the first month, and finally Wen Zu. In Yu Heng ③, Qi ④. Four categories belong to the gods, six categories (6), mountains and rivers (7), and all over the gods. The fifth series (8). The moon is the sun (9), making a pilgrimage to four mountains for grazing (10), and Banrui is behind the grazing (1 1). In February, I patrolled the east. As for Daizong (12) and Chai (13). Looking at the mountains and rivers (14), facing east (15), the moon is opposite to the sun (16), with the same method and quantity (17). Practice five rites, five jade, three silk, two lives and one death (18). Such as five instruments (19), single recovery (20). The southern tour in May, as for Nanyue, was a godsend. In August, I patrolled the west. As for Xiyue, it's the same as before. Visiting the 10th lunar month in January, as for Beiyue, it is like a western ceremony. Gui and Ge Yu (2 1), the same as Te (22). Five-year tour, four-dynasty rear group. Playing with words (23), trying hard, mediocre service (24).

Lester: A bull. (23) Application: General. (24) Agent: Credit. On an auspicious day in the first month, Shun accepted his abdication in Yao's ancestral hall. He observed the operation of the Big Dipper and listed seven political affairs. Then, hold ancestor worship, report to heaven about inheriting the throne, worship ancestors, mountains and gods. Gather the five nobles of the princes, choose a good day, accept the appearance of the leaders of the four princes and give them nobles. In February of this year, Shun traveled to the east, climbed Mount Tai, held a firewood festival, and offered sacrifices to other mountains and rivers in turn according to the level, and accepted the audience of the eastern governors. Shun coordinates the months of spring, summer, autumn and winter and determines the number of days; Unified temperament and units of length, capacity and weight; The etiquette for male courtiers was formulated, and the use methods of five-grade jade, three-color silk fabrics, live lambs, live geese and dead pheasants were stipulated. After the ceremony, the fifth-class imperial concubine belongs to the vassal. In May, Shunnan swam to Mount Hengshan to offer sacrifices to Mount Tai. In August, Shun traveled around and went to Huashan to worship heaven. In November, I traveled north to Hengshan, and the ceremony was like Huashan. After Shun came back, he went to the ancestral temple of Yao Taizu and sacrificed a cow. Since then, Shun has been there every five years. The governors of all parties met in April and reported their achievements. Shun evaluated the vassals by their achievements, rewarded them by their merits, and gave them chariots, horses and kimonos. Read this section about Shun Di's accession to the throne. Yao handed over power smoothly, and Shun ascended the throne smoothly. Sacrifice is an indispensable etiquette, and it can be imagined that there are many kinds, grand scenes and grand atmosphere. After all, this is the birth of the new son of heaven, and its significance has to be expressed by grand etiquette. So the scale of etiquette reflects the size of meaning. The function of etiquette is also to release information. One is to inform the god of heaven and earth to obtain legal status. The second is to inform the four subjects to submit to the people's hearts. Shun Di, who came to power from humble origins, went to great lengths: revising the calendar, unifying the rules and regulations of music, strictly observing the etiquette level, touring around and rewarding the heroes, which greatly revived the king's temperament and showed his great wisdom and virtue. This contains an important subtext: abdication is wise, successors are reliable, the world will be brilliant and the people will be happy and healthy. What is important is that the world is the world of heaven, and the living is the living of heaven; The son of heaven only acts on behalf of heaven and is responsible for spreading the grace of heaven. To put it bluntly, the son of heaven is also a waiter, and today's words are called waiters and public servants; It's nothing special for both heaven and man. This is a far cry from the hereditary "home world". If there is anything special about public servants, it is nothing more than talent, virtue, wisdom and tolerance. , rather than the halo on their heads. They can play politics at will, make huge profits for themselves, honor their ancestors and be overbearing. I don't know when the waiter became the master, the public servant became the god, and everything was upside down. Jiangshan had a surname, and Sheng Min became the provider of the ruler and a slave who could be controlled and slaughtered at will. Don't offend the dragon's face, the ground on the lion's nest can't move, the punishment can't go to the doctor, and the ceremony can't go down to Shu Ren, the monarch and his son. The world has changed anyway. Looking back on the deeds of our two oldest ancestors, Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun, can give us a lot of enlightenment! Emperor Yao chose his successor. The original emperor said, "Discuss! Four mountains. I have been in office for seventy years, so you can command me, and Gong I will be there? " Yue said, "Is virtue added to the throne?" He said, "Clear, bright and ugly." Shi Xidi (5) said, "I have a gun, named Yu Shun." The emperor said, "Yu 7"! How about listening? "Yue said:" Confucius said (8), the father's stubbornness, the mother's arrogance, and the elephant's pride. Filial piety (9), no adultery (10). " Vadi said, "I am sincere! When the woman is present (1 1), two women are sentenced (12). " Two women were released from prison (13) and were in danger (14). The emperor said, "Awesome!" Be careful with five yards (15) and follow five yards (16). Take it from Baiba (17) and describe it in Baiba (18). Yu Bin Simen (19), Simen Mu Mu (20). Yu Na Luda (2 1) was fascinated by strong winds and thunderstorms. The emperor said, "Ge (22)! Rushun. Inquiry and research (23), but writing can be realized (24), three years. You are on the throne (25). " Give way to Germany, inherit. Note (1) Destiny: Comply with destiny. 2 attack: used as "practice", which means perfection, and here refers to seizing the throne. ③ No (PT): mean value. Tian: Shame is unworthiness. (4) Mingming: a person who is observant and wise. Yang: Selection and recommendation. Humble people: Humble people. ⑤ Teacher: Everyone. Tin: Here, I mean giving advice. (6) Guan: the poor. (7) Yu: Yes, that is it. (8) Bi (Gu): Blind, here refers to Shun's father Yue Guanju. (9) Proclamation: filial piety, virtue and beauty. (10) Wa (y i): governance. G: to, to. Rape: evil. (1 1) Female: Married. H: Yes, this person here refers to Shun. (12) Punishment: regulations and rules. Two women: Yao's daughter and. (13) Li: Command. GuT: The name of water. Rui: At the bend of the river. (14): Marry someone else as a wife. (15) Emblem: Meishan. Huang Wu: The five permanent members refer to father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brother's friendship, brother's respect and son's filial piety. (16) Gao: Yes. From: obey. (17) Na: position award. Bailian; An official in charge of everything. (18) time narrative. Success is obedience to leadership. (19) Guest: Welcome guests. (20) Jiang Mumu: Describe a neat appearance. (2 1) Foothill: the foot of the mountain. (22) come, come. (23) Inquiry: Planning. Test: check. (24) Yes: you. Z: Take it. (25): rise, rise. Emperor Yao said, "Alas! Quartet tribal leaders! I have been in office for seventy years. Which one of you can follow the destiny and take my place? " . The leader of the four tribes said, "We are despicable and unworthy of the throne." Emperor Yao said: "We can inspect the wise men among the nobles and recommend the sages with low status." Everyone recommended Yao; "There was a poor man named Yu Shun." Emperor Yao said, "Yes, I've heard of him. What about this person? " . The leader of the Sifang tribe replied, "He is the son of wind music. His father is evil, his mother is good at telling lies, and his brother is very arrogant, but Shun can get along with them. He used his filial virtue to influence them to change their evil ways and not go astray. " Yao Di said. "Then I will test him! Marry my two daughters to him and test his virtue through them. " So Yao ordered his two daughters to go to Guihewan and marry Yu Shun there. Emperor Yao said, "Handle government affairs respectfully!" Shun prudently carried out the five virtues of father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brother and friend, brother's respect and son's filial piety, and all subjects could obey. He was also ordered to manage officials, and all officials could obey him. He greeted the four governors who came to see him at the fourth gate of Tang Ming. All the governors in four directions are well dressed. He also went to the deep forest to stand the test of wind and rain, even if it was stormy and thunderous, he would not lose his way. Emperor Yao said, "Come, Shun. I plan politics with you and examine your remarks. Your opinion is quite correct. After three years' test, you are sure to achieve something. You can ascend to the throne now. "Shun wants to give the throne to a more virtuous person, and he is unwilling to accept this position. Reading savvy is an important thing for the king to choose his successor, which is related to whether the country will change color. Emperor Yao has been king for 70 years, and his merits have spread all over the world, but time and tide wait for no man. One day, he will abdicate and hand over power to the next generation. It is worth noting that in Yao's era, there was no hereditary system in which the emperor kept the family secret, and power could be handed over to people outside the family. This transfer of power was called abdication in ancient times. In addition, tribal leaders of all parties can participate in discussions, make suggestions and recommend empowered candidates. This is a bit democratic, and the supreme ruler is not the only one in charge. The transfer of power is really not a simple matter. Not to mention the numerous complicated relationships involved in the struggle for power and profit, just enjoying enough dignity, obedience, fame, achievement, prosperity, etc., requires great psychological endurance. Maybe in Yao's time, it was. No problem, even if you step down from the highest position, you will still be respected, you won't lose too much, and you won't get cold without tea. After all, the world at that time was still very simple. The psychological imbalance caused by quitting the power center will bring fear. The temptation to be in the center of power is too great. The greater the temptation, the heavier the imbalance and the stronger the fear. This is probably an important psychological reason why later emperors are unwilling to hand over power even if they are on the road to death. So, later there was a hereditary system. The world belongs to me and also to my son and grandson. The successor has been stipulated by the system, so there is no need to choose, and outsiders are not allowed to discuss and make suggestions. Sima Yan, the founding emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, passed the throne to Sima Zhong, the idiot prince, but in only 16 years, the Sima family's world was destroyed by the idiot emperor. From today to yesterday, it is still fascinating to "abdicate" the throne and choose a successor democratically. How does the original text divide spring, summer, autumn and winter into what (1), respect for heaven (2), thinking of pears as the sun, moon and stars (3) and respect for people (4)? It is divided into Xi Zhong, Zhai Yiyi (5) and Sun Valley (6). Yin Bin Ye Tian (7), Pingzhi Zuo Dong (8). China (9) Star Bird (10) Yin Zhongchun faints (12), birds and animals breed tails (13). Shen Ming Xi Shu Zhai Nanjiao (14). Pingzhi Nanwu (15) and Jingzhi (16). Sunrise (17) and Spark (18) are in midsummer. Chueh Min-yin (19), birds and animals are happy (20). Life is divided into two, and the house is in the west, which is called the valley of ignorance. Yi Yin Nari (2 1), Pingping Xicheng (22). At night (23), the stars are empty (24) and are with the yin. Chueh Min-yi (25) and Mao Bi (26). Like Shu, the house is plastic, called Youdu (27), while Pingdu is plastic (28). The days are short (29) and the stars are long (30), so it is midwinter. Jue Min Yun (3 1), birds and beasts (32). The emperor said, "Discuss! Harmony between Confucianism and Xi. There are 6 days (33) in 60 years, and the leap month is set at 4 o'clock (34), indicating adulthood. Allow Li Baigong (35 years old) and reach Xi' an (36 years old). " He (note 1): Shi and He are said to be descendants of Li who are in charge of the four seasons of heaven and earth. (2) Qin: respect. If: obey. Hao: Broad. Calendar: calculating age. Elephant: Observing the astronomical phenomena ④ Time of people: Time of people; ⑤ House: Living. Yu Yi: Place names, in the East. (6) Yanggu: the legendary place of sunrise. (7) Y: respect. Bing: Welcome. (8) Grade: identification and determination. Work. Get up and start. (9) Japan and China: refers to the vernal equinox. On the vernal equinox, day and night are equal, so it is called the middle of the day. (10) Starbird: The name of the star refers to the seven nights of Suzaku in the south. Suzaku is a bird name, so it is a star bird. (1 1) y: ok. Zhong: The second month of every three months. (12) Jue: Qi. Analysis: Spread out. (13) breeding (offspring) tail: reproduction. (14) Foot: the place name refers to toes. (15) Error: Run, run. (16) to: Arrive. (17) Sunrise: refers to the summer solstice. Summer solstice has the longest day, so it is called sunshine. (18) Spark: It refers to Mars. On the night of the summer solstice, Mars appears in the south. (19) Cause: It means to live in highland. (20) Greek: sparse. Siegel: I think birds and animals have sparse fur. (2 1) Send me. Nari Sunset (22) West: The moment when the sun sets in the west. (23) Midnight: refers to the autumnal equinox. The autumnal equinox is equal to day and night, so it is called midnight. (24) Star deficiency: the name of the star refers to the virtual star, which is one of the seven nights in Xuanwu in the north. (25) Yi: Ping. This refers to returning to the flat life. (26) Xian: Grow new feathers. (27) North: North. Youdu: Youzhou. (28) in: observation. Yi: Change. This refers to the operation. (29) Short day: refers to the winter solstice. Winter solstice has the shortest day, so it is called short day. (30) Pleiades (Mao): The name of the star refers to the Pleiades, which is one of the seven nights of the West White Tiger. (3 1) Qi (Yu): Oh, it means inner room. (32) Rong: the fine hair of birds and animals. (33) Period (year): the first anniversary. Yes: once again. (34) Leap months are used to set four hours: in ancient times, there were 12 months in a year, 30 days in the big month and 29 days in the small month, which was 354 days less than the actual number of days in a year and 11 days and a quarter less. Three years add up to more than one month, so we arrange leap months to make up for it, so that the four seasons are not chaotic. (35) permission: use, and. Li: Governance and regulations. White House: Guan Bai. (36) Shu: Lots and lots. Xi: Rise and prosperity. Therefore, Yao ordered Shi and He Shibi to respectfully follow the heaven, make calendars according to the movements of the sun, the moon and the stars, and teach people to engage in production activities according to the seasons. Yao also ordered to live in Dongyang Valley to greet the sunrise respectfully and observe and identify the time of sunrise. Day and night are equal, and birds and stars appear in the south at dusk to determine the mid-spring season. At this time, people scattered in the fields for farming, and birds and animals began to breed. Yao then ordered his uncle to live in the south, observe and distinguish the movement of the sun to the south, and respectfully welcome the sun to the south. The midsummer season is determined by the longest sky during the day and the appearance of Mars in the south at dusk. At this time, people live in high places, and birds and animals have sparse feathers. Yao also ordered to live in the valley of ignorance in the west, respectfully sent away the sun and watched it set in the west. According to the equal time between day and night, the sky with virtual stars appears in the south at dusk, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is determined. At this time, people returned to the plain life, and the feathers of birds and animals grew up again. Yao also ordered his uncle to live in a hidden capital in the north and observe the movement of the sun to the north. Midwinter season is determined by the shortest day and the appearance of the Pleiades in the south at dusk. At this time, people live indoors to avoid the cold, and birds and animals grow soft hair. Emperor Yao said, "Alas! Your Xi's and his, the first anniversary has 366 days. By adding leap month to determine the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, it becomes a year. In this way, everything will flourish. " Reading this paragraph records the calendar of gods formulated by Emperor Yao. It doesn't matter whether the details are true or not. What is important is some information: China had a calendar that divided the four seasons and the anniversaries of spring, summer, autumn and winter as early as the ethnic tribes. The seasons are determined by carefully observing the changes of celestial movement and ground phenology. It is difficult for us to imagine the great value and significance of this event to human progress and civilization. This shows that people have a deep sense of time migration and a sense of spatial orientation. The emergence of space-time consciousness leads to the division, confirmation and recording of time flow and the identification of position change. On the level of human existence, the establishment of time and space helps people to migrate and settle down, engage in agricultural production, commercial trade and other material production activities, and is also beneficial to people's lives: planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, avoiding floods and heat in summer and avoiding cold and snow in winter. On the level of meaning, the sense of time and space makes people confirm their position in the universe and experience the significance and value of human existence in the universe. Judging from the calendar made by Emperor Yao, it is first to observe natural phenomena carefully and accurately grasp the law of natural change. The result of this foothold is to attach importance to, respect and obey nature, bring human existence into the orbit of nature, and make people's production, life and thinking conform to the laws of nature, so the most meaningful life is to conform to nature. Our nation's tradition of advocating nature probably began in the Yao era. The consciousness of advocating nature is embodied in the concept of "respecting heaven" "heaven" is the master of all things, which is not only the embodiment of the will of the gods, but also the embodiment of the laws of nature; As a part of nature, man must respect and obey heaven. The emperor is a representative sent from heaven to earth. He ruled the world with absolute power given by heaven, so he was called "the son of heaven". To offend the son of heaven is to offend the gods, to offend the laws of nature, and to say this plainly. I really want to offend the emperor and rebel, but also under the banner of "doing justice for heaven." It is also one of the national traditions to combine "heaven", nature, gods with power, privilege and autocracy, that is, to paint nature with the color of power will and respect and obey nature, that is, to respect and obey power. The meaning and value of individual existence are dissolved in respecting heaven, obeying nature and obeying power. This is also one of the reasons why Confucianism regards this book as a classic. Emperor Yao has made great achievements all over the world (1). Emperor Yao said that Qin thought peace (3), allowed Gong Ke to yield (4), and ranked up and down (6) in four tables (5). Keming Junde (7) is the closest relative of Jiuzu (8). Nine families live in harmony, and the people live in peace (9). The common people are enlightened, each gang is in harmony, and the people are in harmony with the changing times (10). Note (1) Riruo: German words used to trace the past have no practical meaning. Ji: check. Gu: This refers to ancient legends. (2) Qin: I am respectful and serious. (3) Commitment: Honesty. Gong: respectfully. Krishnamurti: Yes. Excuse me: excuse me. (4) Covered. Table 4: Far away from Germany. (5) G: arrive. (7) Junde: refers to a person with both ability and political integrity. (8) Jiuzu: refers to people of the same clan. (9) Ping: Resolution. Chapter 3: Make it obvious. Person: the surname of Bai Guanjia. (10) from CoCo Lee. Y: use it Manufacturing: friendly. Yong: Harmony. According to ancient legends, Yaode's name is Fang Xun. He is serious, respectful, discerning right from wrong, good at governing the country and leveling the world, generous and gentle, honest and conscientious, and can make sages shine everywhere, even heaven and earth. He can observe the virtues of those who own it and make people in the same family closely unite. By observing and commending officials with good deeds and virtues, and coordinating the relationship between governors and the state, clans become intimate and harmonious, and people become friendly and harmonious. Reading that Yao was an emperor in ancient legends can also be regarded as a "founding father". Praise the emperor's praise, so that historians as courtiers are duty-bound, because the ancient people who wrote history were officials, not scholars, and he must stand on the position of officials to safeguard the supreme ruler. This practice was followed later, and few people stepped out of this box. In this way, history has become the history of victors, and it has become the account book of emperors' merits and demerits. History is also extremely important. His value is mainly to erect a monument for the ruler. For future rulers to learn from, in order to carry forward the fine tradition. Although we can't know what our earliest emperor looked like, his habits, personality and personal life, we clearly know that he is wise and great, has great contributions and is welcomed by all the people. So we have to admire and be proud that we have such a German ancestor, and we are glad that we are his descendants.
