The essay is originally from the Five Classics.

The article was originally from the Five Classics. As for the cultivation of the spirit, from the ironic advice 8, into the taste, but also the joy of things 9, line of work, then can practice. However, since the ancient literati, more fall into the light 10; Qu Yuan show talent to raise their own, show the tyrant over 11; Song Yu body appearance, meet haiku 12; Oriental Manqian, comical and indecent 13; Sima Changqing, theft of funds without the 14. Wang Bao over chapter "Boys Covenant" 15, Yang Xiong de defeat "beauty of the new" 16, Li Ling degradation of the barbarians and captives 17, Liu Xin reversed the Mang Shi 18, Fu Yi party attached to the door of the 19, the theft of Ban Gu's father's history 20, Zhao Yuan Shu anti-horrified Excessive 21, Feng Jingtong's flamboyance and pressure 22, Ma Jichang squeezing 23, Cai Bo Harmony (蔡伯喈) was executed for the same evil 24, Wu Qi defamed the townships 25, Cao Zhi disobeyed and violated the law 26, Du Du begged for falsehoods 27, Lu Zu was very narrow and narrow-minded 28, Chen Lin's actual number was sloppy 29, Fan Qin's nature had no checking 30, Liu Zhen squelched and lost 31, Wang Chuan was irritable and suspected of being a man of the people 32, Kong Rong and Mi Heng were killed for their arrogance 33, Yang Xiu and Ding Jie took death for fanning 34, Ruan Ji was rude and defeated the people. 34, Ruan Ji was insolent and defeated the custom35, Jikang Ling thing evil end36, Fu Xuan wrathful fight exempted from the official37, Sun Chu boasted of overriding the 38, Lu Ji committed obedience to fulfill the danger39, Pan Yue dry did not take the danger40, Yan Yannian negative gas to depose41, Xie Lingyun empty rusty disorder42, Wang Yuanchang murderous thieves self-sight43, Xie Xuanhuang insulted and see and 44. all these people, all of them are the warped 45, can not be fully remembered, the greater so46. as for the emperor, or The emperor, too, may not be spared. Since the past son of heaven and talented, only Han Wu, Wei Taizu, Emperor Wen, Emperor Ming, Song Xiaowu Emperor 47, are negative world opinion, not the king of virtue also 48. since Ziyou, Zixia, Xunzuo, Meng Ke, Mei multiplier, Jia Yi, Su Wu, Zhang Heng, Zuo Si's friends 49, there is a prestigious and free of patients, and sometimes heard of, but its loss or failure of the majority of ears 50. every thought, the original of the accumulation of 51, the body of the article, the labeling of the XingHui52, the development of attraction to the sex of the spirit, so that people reserve 53, so that they can be used to the end, so that they are not the same. The article body, the standardization of Xinghui52, hair attracts the spirit of nature, so that people reserve53, so neglected to hold the work, the fruit of the enterprising54. Today's scribes, this problem is very cut, a matter of cozy when a clear and clever55, the God is powerful in the sky, the will of a thousand years56, since the chanting of self-appreciation, do not feel that there is a more evening people. In addition to the gravel injury, miserable than the spear, the disaster of irony, quick as the wind and dust. Deeply desirable to prevent anxiety, to protect Yuanji 57.

Learning is pure, the article has a tricky; blunt learning tired work, may not be familiar with; poor research ideas, the end of the Chi Chi mean. But into the bachelor, since enough for people; must lack of genius, do not be strong pen. I see the world, to no talent, they say that the Qing Hua 58, the flow of ugly and clumsy, but also to the many 59. Jiangnan No. for the "sale of obsessed with the Fu" 60. near 61 in the state, there is a family of scholars, good for the ridiculous poetry and fugue, tempted to 撆 Xing, the Wei 62, all **** ridicule, false praise, they hit the bull 63, recruiting the reputation of the wine. His wife Mingjian woman also, sobbing and remonstrate, this person sighed: "talent is not difficult for his wife to tolerate, not to mention the road 64," to death. The first thing I want to do is to make sure that I have a good idea of what I want to do, and that I have a good idea of what I want to do.

Learning for the article, the first to seek friends and relatives, to get their judgment, know that can be implemented 65, and then out, careful not to teacher heart self-employment 66, make fun of the others also. Chen Kongzhang residence Yuan cut book, then call the Cao for jackals 73, in Wei system diatribe, then eye Shao for the snake 74. in the time of the king's orders, shall not be self-exclusive 75, but also the great danger of the literati, when the service from the message of 76.

or asked Yang Xiong said: "my son is less and good Fu?" Xiong said: "Yes. Children carving insects and seal cutting, strong man not to do." Yu steal non-said: Yu Shun song "south wind" of the poem 77, the Duke of Zhou made "owl" of the chant 78, Jifu, Shi Ke "Ya", "Ode" of the beauty of the 79, have not heard of all in the early years of the tired virtue also. Confucius said, "If you don't learn Poetry, you can't speak." "Since Wei returned to Lu, Le Zheng, "Ya" and "Ode" each in its own way." Daming filial piety, citing the "Poetry" evidence of 80. Yang Xiong An dare to ignore it? If the "poet's endowment to be, the rhetorician's endowment to the obscene 81", but know that the change is only, and do not know the male since for the strong man how also?

......

All for the article, as if people ride a steed 82, although there is a gas, when the articulation of the system 83, do not make the flow of chaotic track halter, put the intention to fill the pit bank is also 84. The article when the rationale for the strength of the heart 85, the gas for the sinews, the matter of righteousness for the skin, gorgeous for the crown 86. The world has been adhering to the trend of not abandoning the original, the rate of more flamboyant, rhetoric and rational competition, rhetoric victory and rational ambush; things and talent competition, things are busy and talent loss 87. There must be a great talent and reputation, reform of the genre, I really hope.

Today's translation The articles are all derived from the Five Classics. The edicts, orders, strategies, and diatribes originated from the Book; the preface, description, argument, and discussion originated from the Yi; the songs, chants, fugues, and odes originated from the Poetry: the sacrifices, rituals, laments, and eulogies originated from the Rites; and the books, zheng, zheng, aphorisms, and inscriptions originated from the Spring and Autumn Annals. The court's charter, military oaths, proclaiming benevolence and righteousness, highlighting the merits and virtues, as well as governing the people to build the country, etc., can not be missing the article. As for the cultivation of the spirit, from the ironic advice, to experience the meaning of it, is also very fun, if there is extra energy, since you can practice. However, from ancient times of the literati, more than lost in the light; Qu Yuan boasted of talent, exaltation of their own, the king's faults openly exposed; Song Yu beautiful physical appearance, was almost taken as a haiku; Dongfang Shuo words and actions comical and loss of elegance; Szema Xiangru forced people to share the wealth with their own no conduct; Wang Berg's fault in the Boys' Testament; Yang Xiong's character bad in the drama Qin Mei Xin; Li Ling surrendered to Xiong Nu, the body was defeated and reputation ruined; Liu Xin reversed the new dynasty of Wang Mang; Fu Yi party attached to the new dynasty; Fu Yi party attached to the new dynasty of Wang Mang, etc. can not be without the articles. Fu Yi's party was attached to a powerful family; Ban Gu stole his father's historical achievements; Zhao Yi's temperament was high and resistant to excess; Feng Yan was suppressed because of his flamboyance; Ma Rong was ridiculed because of his flattery: Cai Yong was killed because of his sympathy for the wicked; Wu Qi had no reputation in the township; Cao Zhi was disobedient to break the law; Du Du Du was insatiable in his begging for loans and credits; Lu Zu was narrow-minded; Chen Lin's words and actions were coarse and sloppy; Fan Qin's character was wild and unrestrained; Liu Zhen was still headstrong to lose his work; Wang Chuan was disliked because of his lightheartedness; Kong Rong, You Heng because of arrogance and death; Yang Xiu, Ding Yi was killed for inciting trouble; Ruan Ji does not comply with the rituals and laws, and hurt the wind and customs; Jikang arrogant and overbearing, did not get a good end; Fu Xuan because of the wrath of the official; Sun Chu because of the boast and the offender; Lu Ji wrongly took the path of the eunuchs and encountered peril; Pan Yue the pursuit of fame and fortune and take the death of Yan Yan Nian, the gas alone deposed; Xie Linyun empty-minded violation of the law and discipline; Wang Yuancang murderous and rebellious and killed; Xie Xie Xuan halo insulted and slow to be killed. These people mentioned above, are the literary world of excellence, as for the others can not be all listed, generally this is the case. Ancient emperors with literary talent are Han Wu Di, Wei Wu Di, Wei Wen Di, Wei Ming Di and Song Xiaowu Di, etc., but they have been ridiculed by the world, so they are not considered to be virtuous human kings. From Ziyou, Zixia, Xunfu, Meng Ke to Meixian, Jia Yi, Su Wu, Zhang Heng, Zuo Si and others, enjoying fame and avoiding disaster, but in contrast, or loss of body and reputation of the majority. I often think about this, looking for the root cause of the disease, when it is due to the article to mark the Xinghui, triggered by the spirit, which will make people boast of their talents, ignoring the integrity of the people, only know that the one-track mind to forge ahead. In the current scribes, this kind of problem is even more serious, an allusion to the use of appropriate, a sentence written in a clear and clever, will be very high self-esteem, no one in sight, boastful and self-appreciation, think that other people are far inferior to their own. Grit is more powerful than spears; irony is faster than dust; therefore, one should take precautions to preserve one's reputation.

Learning has a sensitive and slow points, the article has a sophisticated and clumsy difference; learning is slow through continuous efforts to achieve the degree of sophistication, but the people who are clumsy and lagging in the study of the hard, and ultimately it is difficult to avoid the burden of the ugly and inferior. Learned people, enough to stand on their own; no genius, do not force composition. I see many people, themselves have no talent at all, but pretended to be extraordinary, let the poor article in the world, and the number is very large. This is called "selling the stupid notes" in the south of the Yangtze River. Recently, there was a man of scholarly family in the state of Bingzhou, who liked to compose some unorthodox poems and fugues, and even joked with Xing Shao and Wei Shou, and he did not even recognize the mocking praises from others, but instead, he killed cows and prepared wine and invited people to a banquet in the hope that this would further expand his own reputation. His wife, a very discerning person, cried and advised him not to do that again, but he sighed: "Even my wife does not recognize my talent, let alone outsiders"! This man did not come to his senses even to his death. It is only when one can estimate oneself correctly that one is called wise, and it is indeed difficult to do so.

Learning to write an article, after writing should first discuss with friends and relatives, get their judgment, think that can be published in the world, and then can be shot, do not be self-righteous, laugh at people. In ancient times, the pen essayists, more than countless, but the magnificent and exquisite article, only dozens of good articles. The writer's work, as long as there is no problem with the genre, the rhetoric can look at the eye, it can be, the author will be called a talented person, as for the work to achieve shocking perfection, just as the Yellow River water to become clear, is very difficult to realize.

It is the integrity of Bo Yi and Shu Qi to not give up their foreign names; and it is the righteousness of Yi Yin and Min Zi to not be the vassal of a foolish ruler. Since the Spring and Autumn period, some rulers were forced to flee, some countries were swallowed up by other countries, there is no longer a fixed regular division between the ruler and the minister. A gentleman does not use words to hurt a friend, and once he bends the knee and serves others, how can he change his position and viewpoints because of the interests at stake? When Chen Lin made a diatribe for Yuan Shao, he called Cao Cao a jackal; but when he served Cao in Wei, he regarded Yuan Shao as a serpent in one of his diatribes. This is, of course, forced by the pressure of those on top, can not help, but it is still a great danger for the literati, and should strive to eliminate it.

Someone asked Yang Xiong: "Mr. young like to write Fu, really?" Yang Xiong replied, "Yes. But that is a young boy's childish carving, and people with ambition don't do it." I thought Yang Xiong's view was wrong. Yu Shun had sung the poem of the South Wind, the Duke of Zhou had composed the chant of the Scops Owl, and the works written by Yin Jifu and Shi Ke were of the highest quality in the Ya and Ode, and it has never been heard of that these men affected their virtue by composing poems at an early age. Confucius said, "There is no speech without learning Poetry." And again, "After I returned from Wei to Lu, I corrected the music, and the Ya and Ode were restored to their proper place." How could Yang Xiong dare to treat filial piety so lightly when the Xiaojing, which is a great illustration of filial piety, also tends to cite poems as evidence? If we say: "the poet made the fu gorgeous and elegant, the rhetorician made the fu gorgeous and ***," this also only involves the problem of change and distinction, I do not know whether Yang Xiong regarded himself as a strong man. ......

Writing an article, like a person riding a steed, although there is a handsome air, but also have to use the articulation to control, can not let it run around wildly, fell into the ditch pit. The article should be centered on reason and righteousness, rhyme and style for the sinews, the fact that the skin, rhetoric for the crown. But today's literati are following the bad habits, tend to the end and abandon the original, most of the works are very flashy. Rhetoric and righteousness compete with each other, rhetoric wins the righteousness is buried; with the matter and the talent to compete with each other, with a lot of things will make the talent is damaged. Ease of debauchery and forgetfulness, chiseled patch and insufficient, so, the general public can not be completely free of its influence, as long as they do not go too far, even if. I'm not sure if I can do this, but I think it's a good idea for me to have a great talent and to reform the style.

The article of the ancients, on its macro material, body style, etc., to see, more than today's text, just in the words and sentences of the structure of the arrangement of the words and phrases seem a little sloppy, not enough thorough and meticulous. Today's article, the harmony of sound and rhythm, chapter and sentence parallelism and symmetry, avoidance of fine and numerous, all of which is the text of the ancients do not have. Therefore, it is appropriate to the sanctions of the ancients as this, to the rhetoric of today's vice, both of which should be taken care of, can not give up any party.

General This is a relatively simple literary criticism, which involves both the evolution and development of the problem, but also some on the distinction between genres and creative techniques in the exposition, these on our understanding or study of Yan Zhiwei's literary thought is very helpful.

Since Cao Pi's statement that most ancient and modern literati did not care about fine lines, few people have commented on the literati from this perspective, and Yan Zhitui has given almost equal importance to the author's literary talent and character. The authors listed in the previous part of this paper, in his opinion, there are deficiencies in the cultivation of character.

In addition, Yan Zhitui on some of the literary phenomena of the time is to develop the vision of the view, he is not like some critics (such as Zhong Rong) as a complete denial of the formal beauty of the literary works that have been formed, but rather advocate in the inheritance of the advantages of the ancient articles, at the same time, the adoption of the contemporary rules of art have been formed, and through the concrete practice of creation to make it further perfect. This view is also very reasonable.
