Translation and Appreciation of Zheng Dongfu

Zheng Dong Fu was written by Ban Zhao, a talented woman in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the seventh year of Ernst & Young, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (A.D. 1 13). Ban Zhao took his son to Chen's post. In this essay, he wrote about what he saw and felt along the way, the sadness of leaving Beijing, the hard work of a long journey, the memory of the sages, and the difficulties of the people. Finally, he taught people to be honest, stick to the right path, be conscientious and cautious. In addition, there is the Eastern Jin Dynasty Justin's "Crusade to the East". The following is my translation and appreciation of Zheng Dong Fu. Welcome to reading.

Ban Zhao's Zheng Dong Fu

However, seven Xi's were at the beginning of eternity, and the rest were in the Crusades. When Meng Chunzhi is lucky, he will write a good day and do it. Is to rise to the sky on tiptoe and stay in the evening. It's new when you leave, and it's sad!

I was awake when I was awake, but my heart was late and turned. Drinking is to relax your thoughts and suppress your feelings, not to suppress yourself. If you don't catch up with the board, you can't catch up with Chen Li. Go with the flow and listen to fate. Take the main road. Who do you want to take the shortcut with? So I passed away, chatting with my eyes and wandering with my soul!

It is difficult for Gong Xian to visit Xi through seven cities. Looking at the communication between Heluo and Luoyang, it is a high revolving door. It is not only free from majesty, but also accessible to Xingyang. Eat the rest of the original martial arts, Su Yang martial arts mulberry room. I admire the capital and sigh secretly when I am involved in closing the mountain head and practicing roads! Little people are full of soil and sign up.

Therefore, I entered the Tao, took one step less, and came to the north of Qiu Ping. Go into the open country and chase far away, thinking about the diligence of the teacher. He has no way to decline and chaos, but he is afraid of saints. If you stay in Xi for a long time and forget day and night, you will faint. Go to the border of placanticline and check the residents in the countryside. Looking at the ruins of mounds in Pucheng, hazel hazel has thorns. If you are embarrassed, you will become a consultant, and you will think of the power of Lutz. The defenders are brave and righteous, and today they are called clouds. Mijia is in the southeast of the city, and the people are still at the grave. Only when virtue does not die, can the body exist without virtue.

Only the beauty of classics, your virtue. Martial arts are called gentlemen, and what they say has substance and traces to follow. After decline and suffering, Sui Ling was late but not prosperous. Know life is in heaven, from walking to benevolence. Encourage the heights to dance with the scenery, and be loyal and forgiving. I'm sincere and I don't return. I know God honestly. Ordinary spirit is just a mirror, good for you, good for you.

Chaos: A gentleman's thoughts must be written. I have a different view, and I admire the ancients. If you stop first, you will do something. Although insensitive, he dares to break the law. Rich or poor, you can't have it. Only by taking the upright road can we catch up with the times. Short-term luck is both stupid and wise. Jing's life is only good or bad. Be cautious and not lazy, think about it. Quiet and less desire, the teacher is generous.

In the seventh year of Emperor Yong of Han 'an, I moved my son from the capital to Chenliu in the east. It's spring in Meng Chun, and I chose a beautiful day to start. Get on the bus in the morning and stay in Yanshi at night. Say goodbye to the capital of longevity and stay in a strange new land.

My heart is full of sad feelings, and I still can't sleep at dawn. It is well known that you can't fight against fate. Holding a glass in hand, I thought a lot! I can't shake off my depression. I really wasn't born in that nest to fight cockroaches in ancient times! I'm afraid I'll never have a chance to contribute my talents again. Let's just go with the flow and wait for fate. Take the rugged road of governing the country. Who can you listen to if you want to find a shortcut? So he quietly disappeared from the capital, leaving the arrogant soul wandering around for a while.

Passing through seven cities along the way, I met a road disaster in Gongxian County. Overlooking the scene where the Yellow River meets Luoshui, I saw the famous Xuanmen in Gaoping County. Over the steep hills, over the famous Xingyang city. I took a lunch break in Wu Yuan County and slept among mulberry trees in Wu Yang County that night. After crossing the Fengqiu River, I hurried on, secretly sighing that my homesick hometown was getting farther and farther away. People with low status inevitably miss their homeland, which is recorded in detail in the narrative of the book.

It won't take long to walk along this road, and you will reach the north of Qiu Ping County. Entering the country, the place of interest, can not help but daydream. The scene of Confucius being besieged in those days was in front of us. What a decadent world it is! No wonder there was a siege of saints. I stood there for a long time, feeling blue until dusk fell and I forgot to come back. When I arrived at the border of Changhuan County, I stopped by to visit the farmers living in the suburbs. Witnessed the ruins of pucheng county's historic sites, which were covered with thorns and bushes. I asked people around me again and again sadly, longing for Lutz's prestige and spirit. All the people in Wei praised his bravery and loyalty, and they still praise him until now. The southeast of Pucheng is the hometown of genius Qu Boyu, and people there also respect his grave.

Only virtue is immortal in the world! The body is buried and the reputation lasts forever. Classic works are full of praise. People respect virtue and kindness. Ji Zha, the son of Wu, said, "There are many gentlemen who defend the country without suffering." His words are not only credible, but also effective. Later, the decline led to constant suffering, so it declined and never flourished again. I know that God rules people's destiny, and I have been practicing being close to Ren Xian ever since. Encourage yourself to practice noble words and deeds, be loyal and filial to others and be good at forgiving. Goodwill, integrity, no regrets, let the gods know my sincerity. May the gods examine and supervise my words and deeds and bless my sincere and kind heart.

The following is nonsense: what a gentleman thinks must be a commendable etiquette; Why not say what you want and admire the ancients? Wherever my father went, there was always a masterpiece. Although I am not witty enough, how can I not imitate writing? Poverty and wealth in the world cannot be forced! Lead an honest and clean life, stick to the right path, and wait for luck to turn. Both long life and short life lie in heaven, and ignorance and wisdom come down in one continuous line. Wait for fate, good or bad. Dedicated and cautious, dare not slack off, remember to be modest and always reflect. With a pure heart and little desire for peace, take Meng Gong as an example.

Make an appreciative comment

This article was written in the seventh year of Ernst & Young, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (A.D. 1 13). This year, Ban Zhao took his son Cao Cheng (Zi Zi Gu) to Liu Chen for his post. This fu mainly describes what I saw and felt along the way, focusing on four aspects:

First, write about the sadness of leaving Beijing; When "the old is the new", the thought of being sent to a different place makes me sad and I can't sleep all night. With the progress of the trip, the distance from Beijing is getting farther and farther, and the feeling of "homesickness" is getting heavier and heavier, thus expressing my uncontrollable sadness.

The second is to write about the hardships of long-distance travel. After the Seven Cities in Ban Zhao, it is inevitable that people will have to live in the wind and sleep, and travel across mountains and rivers. Wen Fu is telling the truth. It is not only difficult in Gong County, but also dangerous in Heluo, sleeping in the mulberry forest. From this, we can't help but miss the life of the ancient times when we lived and worked in peace and contentment.

The third is to write the memory of the sages. Sympathize with Confucius' bad luck when crossing the sea, praise Lutz's brave spirit when crossing the sea, and pursue the immortality of Huai Boyu's virtue when crossing the sea. These nostalgic feelings not only show the nobleness of their emotional interests, but also console themselves with the fate of the ancient people's "decline and suffering" to solve their worries.

The fourth is to write about people's feelings. Although there are only four sentences in this respect, the description of Pucheng's autumn ruins and the thorny desolate scene shows the disaster brought by the chaos in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The author's conscious "investigation of cultivated land residents" shows Ban Zhao's sympathy for the farmers who are in deep disaster.

After a lapse of sixteen years, Cai Yong went to Beijing, which happened to be the opposite of Ban Zhao's trip, but he also spit out the sympathy of "the people are exposed and sleeping wet", and the influence of this assignment cannot be denied.

The "nonsense" at the end of Fu directly expressed his feelings, strengthened the lyrical theme of Fu, and linked the fate of personal wealth with the unpredictable fate of foolish and intelligent society in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Its profundity lies in that it repents of its own misfortune and at the same time reveals its criticism of society.

The language of this poem is concise and fluent, and it is touching to read.

In addition, he said indiscriminately: "If the first Lord stops, he will do something. Although he is insensitive, he dares to break the law. " This shows that Ban Zhao's East Fu was written after his father Ban Biao's North Fu. Fu describes the experience from Luoyang to Chen Liu and is full of praise for Confucius, Chi and other sages. Compared with Ban Biao's Northern Expedition Fu, the Eastern Expedition Fu is more delicate in emotional description, and the author's twists and turns truly reflect his inner contradictions and anguish, with a strong self-interpretation, helplessness, low hesitation and ancient and simple style.
