Next year, the admiral will exaggerate the Hu people with many animals and beasts, and in autumn, he will order the right to help the wind to send the people into Nanshan, the west from The Chu, the east to Hongnong, the south to Drive Hanzhong, Zhang Luo, the bears, the porcupines, the tigers and leopards, the foxes, the foxes, the elk, the sills, the sills, the long Yang shooting bear house. Taking the recklessness as Zhou Qi, indulging in the beasts and beasts, making the Hu people fight with their hands, take their own gains, and go to see it in person. When the time comes, the peasants must not converge. Xiong Congzhi to the Shooting Bear Pavilion, also, on the "Chang Yang Fu", talk about the pen and ink into the article, so borrow Hanlin as the master, Zi Mo as the guest Qing to the wind. His words: Zi Mo Keqing asked Yu Hanlin's master: "Gaiwen Holy Lord's nurturing people are also benevolent and kind, and they can't move." This year, the hunting chief Yang first ordered the right to support the wind, the left Taihua and the right to the oblique, the ridge {mountain to open} and for the yi, the South Mountain thought that the Mountain, Luo Qian rode in Lin Mang, Liewan rode in the corner of the mountain, shuai jun stomped on the tunnel, xi rong won Hu. Strangle the bear, drag the porcupine, the wooden yong gun tired, think that the reserve, the world's poor view of the extreme also. Although, it is also quite disturbing to farmers. There is more than thirty years, and its life is complete, and the merit is not planned, I am afraid that I do not know, the outside thinks that it is a pleasure to travel, and the inside does not think that it is a dry bean thing. And the human king takes Xuan Mo as a god, and the indifference as virtue, and now the music is far away from Lu WeiLing, and the number of shakes is to strike the car armor, which is not the urgent task of the human lord, and the theft or the yan. ”

The following year, the emperor wanted to boast to the Hu people about the number of animals and beasts, and in the autumn, he ordered the right fufeng to send the people into Nanshan, from The slope of the west to Hongnong in the east, to the south of Hanzhong, to open the net and place the poppy, to catch the bear porcupine, tiger and leopard, to capture the fox elk, loaded with sill trucks, and transported to the Changyang Shooting Bear Pavilion. Using nets as a fence, putting animals and animals on the wrapped noodles, teaching the Hu people to fight with their bare hands, and taking those they caught took away by themselves, and the emperor himself went to watch.

Yang Xiong followed him to the Shooting Bear Hall, and when he returned, he presented the "Chang Yang Fu", because it was written with pen and ink, he used Han Lin as the host and Zi Mo as the guest secretary to satirize. The speech said: Zi Mo Keqing asked Hanlin's master: "I heard that the Holy Lord nurtures the people, benevolence and grace, and does not act for himself." This year, when hunting in Changyang, first order the right to support the wind, the left to the Taihua and the right to the chuclan, cut the shore for archery, arrange around the South Mountain, arrange thousands of horses in the forest mang, and distribute tens of thousands of cavalry at the foot of the mountain, lead the army to step on the paddock, and reward the Rongdi animals and beasts. Catching bears, catching porcupines, stacking wooden guns, as savings, this is the only thing in the world. Even so, it harasses farmers. More than thirty years, very diligent, but can not achieve, afraid of not knowing the people, outside the thought is considered to be entertainment travel, inside is not regarded as a dry bean sacrifice, is it for the people! And the monarch takes silence as his mind and indifference as his virtue, and now likes to go far to show his might, and has repeatedly rejuvenated the army and tired the car soldiers, which was not something that the emperor had to do urgently, and the contempt was privately puzzled. ”

Master Hanlin said, "Woo, it's evil!" If the guest, the so-called know one does not see the second, see the outside and do not know the inside. The servant tastes tired of talking, can not be one or two details, please cite a little bit, and the guest sees it by himself. Guest: "Only, only." The master said: "In the past, there were strong Qin, sealed their soldiers, and their people, and the chiseled teeth fought with the teeth, and the haojun elk boiled and disturbed, and the Qunli was not healthy." So God took care of Gao Zu, Gao Zu obeyed the orders, Shun Dou Ji, Yun Tianguan, Heng Ju Hai, Ticket Kunlun, Raise the Sword and Lingzhi, so the city of Qiyi, the lower flag, the one-day battle, can not be remembered. At this time, the head was not sloppy, hungry, lice were born, and the jie was sweaty, thinking that the surname of the people was ordered by the emperor. It is the praise of the people, the lack of the zhenmin, the rules of hundreds of millions of years, the restoration of the imperial industry, seven years and the world is as close as it is. "Catch the most holy text, ride the wind and the flow, Fang Is willing to be in peace, obedient and thrifty, not poor in clothes, not wearing leather, not living in the great summer, and no wood." Therefore, the harem is lowly and sparsely pearled, but the jade ornament, in addition to the skillful carving, the evil beauty is not near, the fragrance is not royal, the music of the silk bamboo Yanyan is suppressed, and the voice of Zheng and Wei Youyi is heard, and it is the jade balance that is right and too flat. "After that, the smoke was abused, the Eastern Yi was crossed, the Qiangrong was blind, the Fujian and Vietnamese were in chaos, and the Reverie was disturbed, and China was affected by it. So Saint Wu was furious, and he straightened out his brigade, and he was destined to vote, wei, fenhu boiling, cloud and electric hair, soaring waves, terrifying bees, rushing like running stars, hitting like thunder, banging, breaking the dome, brain sand curtain, and marrow Yu Wu. Hunt the royal court. Expelling it, burning lice, dividing pears into single countries, splitting the country, Yikeng Valley, pulling up brine mang, publishing mountain stones, ravaging corpses, tired old and weak, Yan Zhen, Jin Yi, hundreds of thousands of people, all of them have the jaws of the tree jaws, supporting the moths, more than twenty years, still dare not rest. Fu Tianbing is coming, Youdu Xianjia, Hui Ge Evil Finger, South Vietnam Xiangyi, Jing Jie Western Expedition, Qiang Shu Dong Chi. It is the domain of the party that is sparse and unconventional, from the shangren to the untouched, the Maode is not appeased, and the stilts are not to resist, please offer the treasures, so that the sea will be indifferent, the disaster of the border city will never die, and the plague of the Golden Revolution will not be destroyed.

Master Hanlin said, "Oh, that's weird! Like you, you only know one and don't see the other, and you don't know the inside when you see the outside. I am very tired to go into detail, so allow me to give a brief overview, and you can see for yourself how necessary it is. The guest said, "Good, good." The master said: "Once upon a time, there was a strong Qin, who maimed the people like Feng Feng and Lonely, and the chisels and the like grinded their teeth and fought with each other, and Hao Jie was as disturbed as a boiling cloud like an elk, and the people were restless. So the heavens favored Gao Zu, and Gao Zu obeyed the orders, followed the Dou Pole, transported the Heavenly Pass, crossed the sea, shook Kunlun, raised the sword and roared, attacked the city, defeated the generals, and the battle of the day was not completely remembered. So diligent, the hair was messy and there was no time to comb, hungry and too late to eat, a thousand hammers grew lice, and the armor was covered with sticky sweat, to ask the emperor for the life of the ten thousand surnames. So stretch the people's body, raise up what the people lack, plan for ten thousand years, restore the imperial industry, and in seven years the world is peaceful. "When he arrived at Emperor Shengwen, he followed the wind and the waves, and he paid attention to Daning, personally frugal, the clothes were not torn, the leather shoes were not transparent, they did not live in the building, they did not carve wood, so the harem did not love tortoiseshell pearls, did not wear jadeite, did not do clever carving, hated to stay away from gorgeous luxury, did not use fragrant things, forbade the music of silk and bamboo feasts, and did not like to listen to Zheng Wei's profound music, so Yuheng was upright and flat." After that, the Smoke Invasion, the Dongyi Rebellion, the Qiangrong Rebellion, and the Mutual Disturbance between Fujian and Vietnam, the distant people were restless, and the Central Plains suffered disasters. So Shengwu was furious, straightened out the division and brigade, ordered the hussars and Wei Qing, and attacked fiercely, like lightning clouds gathering, the wind and clouds, like a crossbow flying bee, fast as a meteor, like thunder, attacking the frame roller, breaking the felt tent, painting the sand curtain of the brain, and entering Yu Wu. So he hunted in the royal court. Driving camels, burning clams, separating Shan Yu, splitting the subordinate countries, ping pit valley, opening grass and reckless, cutting mountains and stones, stepping on corpses to collect prisoners, binding the old and weak, hundreds of thousands of horses in arrow boats, gold hammer wounds hundreds of thousands, all of them have their heads erected and necks, creeping like ants, more than twenty years later, still dare not breathe. The Heavenly Soldiers arrived at the scene, first to the Capital of Youdu, adjusted the oblique fingers, the South Vietnamese were pacified, the Inverted Festivals were marched west, and the Qiang Dynasty ran east. Therefore, in the isolated places of the distant worlds, since ancient times, ren has not been able to become restless, and has not raised his hands and asked for the contribution of treasures, so that the sea will be stable and never be able to prevent the plagues of war.

"The present imperial court is pure and benevolent, obeys the Tao and manifests righteousness, and packs the books and forests, and the holy wind and clouds are beautiful; the Yinghua is full of ups and downs, overflowing with eight districts, and the whole world is covered, and it is not stained; and those who do not talk about the royal way are laughed at by the woodcutters." Those who deliberately think that things are reckless and do not kill, and things are prosperous and do not lose money, so they are not reckless and dangerous, and they do not forget the danger. Nai Shi sent troops in the year, the whole public opinion, the Zhenshi Wuxuan, the Xi Ma Chang Yang, the Jian Li Cunning Beast, and the School Martial Ticket Bird. Nai Cui Ran ascended the South Mountain, overlooking Wuyi, west of the moon< out of the bone >, east earthquake sun domain. Fearing that future generations will be fascinated by the affairs of the moment, they often take advantage of the great affairs of the state, hunting in the wilderness, hunting in the wilderness, and not in the imperial court, but with the car restless, the day is not quiet, and the followers seem to be returning to their subordinates; so they serve the spirit of Emperor Taizong, obey the degree of literature and martial arts, restore the fields of the three kings, and oppose the five emperors; make the peasants not quit, work cannot be done, marriage is not in time, men and women do not violate; out of the kai brother, simple, reserved, and suspended; see a hundred years, save the lonely and weak, handsome and happy with them. Then the music of Chen Zhong drums, the sum of the thundering and the thundering, the jianjie of the gong, the song of the ball, the dance of the eight columns; the drinking of the Yunshuo, the feast of the music, listening to the Yongyong in the temple, being blessed by the gods; singing praises, blowing heya. He is diligent in this, so the true God is also laborious. Fang will be the Yuanfu, based on the Zen Liang Fu, increase the height of Mount Taishan, extend the light in the future, than the glory of the past, the disciples want to lust at the floating view, the land of japonica rice, the forest of pears and chestnuts in Zhouliu, the trampling of the blades, the praise of the people, the harvest of the foxes, and the harvest of many elk! And the blind cannot see at hand, but is thousands of miles away from lou candles; the disciples who love the Hu people have received my beast, and they have not known that I have also been given their prince. ”

[Translation] "Now the court is pure and benevolent, obeying the Tao and righteousness, compatible with all learning, and holy virtue; Yinghua is full of ups and downs, overflowing the world, and the whole world is full of luster; if there is something that does not talk about the king's way, the woodcutter also laughs at him." Therefore, some people think that things do not flourish and do not fade, so peace does not forget danger. He often sent troops in the good years, straightened out the car soldiers, sent troops to the five squeezes, learned horses in Changyang, wrestled with beasts of prey, and competed with light birds. They climbed the South Mountain, looking at Wuyi in the distance, the Moon Kiln in the west, and the Sun Domain in the east. He was also afraid that his descendants would be obsessed with the pleasures of the moment, and would often use these to replace the major affairs of the state, and to be absurd in the field hunting, which would continue uninterrupted, so that the ruts were not stable, the days did not move, and the entourage did not see the real thing, so they returned to them; they were also used to inherit the cause of Emperor Taizong, abide by the system of literature and martial arts, restore the field hunting of the three kings, and return to the entertainment of the five emperors; so that the peasants did not stop farming, the workers did not get off the machine, they married on time, and the men and women did not mess up; they went out peacefully, acted simply, rewarded industriousness, and avoided servitude; they visited the elderly, comforted the lonely and weak, and shared their bitterness with them. Then set up the music of bells and drums, play the harmony of Shuo Chi, erect the courage of the martial arts, beat the jade chime, shake into eight rows of dances; drink Xinyi, eat ritual music, listen to the sound of yongyong in the temple, and accept the blessings of the gods and men; sing and blow in conjunction with the "Ode". So industrious, so god encourages. It is necessary to wait for Fu Rui, to zen Liang Fu mountain base, to increase the prestige of Mount Tai, to be more glorious than in the past, to continue in the future, is it a wanton tour, galloping in the japonica rice field, traveling around the pear and chestnut forest, trampling on grass and trees, dazzling everyone, harvesting more Di orangutan elk! Moreover, the blind cannot see what is close at hand, but Lou has insight into the corners of thousands of miles; you only pity the Hu people to get our beasts, and you don't know that we have already got their princes. ”

Without saying a word, The Inker lowered his seat and bowed to the first person: "Great body! Allow the boy to be out of reach. But today's revelation, the silhouette has been revealed! "When the emperor was mourning, Ding, Fu, and Dong Xian used things, and those who were attached to the emperor or started up to two thousand stones. When, Xiongfangcao "Tai Xuan", there is self-preservation, Po Ruye. Or mocking Xiong with Xuan Shangbai, and Xiong Xiezhi, called "Xie Tao". His words: Ke mocked Yang Zi: "I have heard of the people of the world, the people of the people, the people who are not born, the birth is the king, the next glory of the parents." Gui of the Analysis of People, Lord of Danren, Rune of Huairen, Lu of Dividing People, Lu Qingtuo Zi, Zhu Danqi Hub. Imako was fortunate to be in the world of Ming Sheng, in the dynasty of no secrets, walking with the Qunxian, the Golden Gate on the Jade Hall has a day, once could not draw a strange, a strategy, the lord of the people, the next talk about the secretary of state. Eyes like stars, tongues like electric light, one from one balance, the commentator Mo Dang, Gu Er's "Tai Xuan" five thousand texts, Zhiye Fushu, speaking more than 100,000 words alone, the deep into the Yellow Spring, the high one out of the sky, the big one with yuan qi, the fiber into the unruly, but the position is not a waiter, only to give things yellow door. Is it true that the meaning is not white? What is the shedding of an official? Yang Zi smiled and replied, "The guest wants Zhu Danwu to hub, but he doesn't know that a fall will make the Akago clan also!" In the past, Zhou Yi untied the knot, and the herd of deer competed for escape, and the separation was twelve, combined into six or seven, divided into four and five sections, and for the Warring States. Soldiers are impermanent, the kingdom is dead, the rich are rich, the lost are poor, the wings are strong, the arbitrariness is preserved, and the warriors either prosper themselves or chisel themselves to escape. It is the reason why Yi Yan took the world's wealth by means of his jaws, and although Meng Ke was even trampling, he was like a master of ten thousand multipliers.

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Zhi withdrew from the table twice and bowed to the head of the auditor and said, "I know the general body!" It's really not something I can match. Today's inspiration chaos is very clear! "When Emperor Wu was mourning, Ding, Fu, and Dong Xian were in power, and some of the people who were subordinate to them served as officials up to two thousand stones. At that time± Washi was drafting the Taixuan, which was used by Shou Tanbo. Some people ridiculed Dang Xiong for advocating white with dark colors, and I La explained this, called "Xie Mockery". The remarks said: The guest laughed at YangZi and said: "I have heard that the scholars of the previous world, their criterion for standing in the world is that if they are not born, they will be born to respect the monarch, and they will honor their parents in the next glory, distinguish between people's gui, accept other people's knighthoods, have other people's runes, share other people's fenglu, wear blue and purple ribbons, and ride on Zhu Dan's car." Now you have the privilege of meeting the Ming Dynasty, in the court of the unscrupulous, with the sages, passing through the Golden Gate to the Jade Hall for a long time, and you cannot plan a strange plot to persuade the monarch upwards and talk to the secretary of state downwards. Eyes like stars, tongue like electric light, vertical and horizontal, the debater no one can resist, but composed "Tai Xuan" five thousand words, branches and leaves distributed, more than 100,000 words of commentary, deep to the Yellow Spring, high out of the sky, big Han Yuanqi, fine incomparable, but the position is not a waiter, promoted to the yellow door. It is expected that Xuan xuan cannot be used to advocate white? Why is it that officials are so lost? Yangzi smiled and replied, "You only want my carriage and horse to be gorgeous, but you don't know that a mistake will make my family bleed!" From the abolition of the former Zhou Dynasty, the princes quarreled, divided into twelve, merged into six or seven, divided into four, and for the Warring States. The scholar does not have a regular monarch, the country does not have a fixed minister, gets the rich of the scholar, loses the poverty of the soldier, raises his wings and flies, and perches at will, so some of them put themselves in bags, and some of them chisel the wall to escape. Therefore, Crepe Yan gained fame because of his up and down uncertainties, and although Meng Ke encountered difficulties, he was still the master of ten thousand multiplications.  

Introduction to the Book of Han of the Classics of Traditional Chinese Studies Lecture 193: Yang Xiong's Biography Iii

"Now the Great Han Left East Sea, right canal search, former Panyu, later Tao Tu." One lieutenant in the southeast, one in the northwest. The emblem is made of ink, made of quality iron, scattered with liturgical music, and the wind is based on "poetry" and "book", and the time is open, and the knot is based on the lu. The people of the world, thunder and clouds, fish scales and miscellaneous attacks, Xian Camp in the eighth district, the family thinks that they are ji and qi, everyone thinks that they are guilty, wearing a silk and talking about it are all planned to be in Ah Heng, the five-foot boy is ashamed of Yan Bao and Yi Wu, when the Tu enters the Qingyun, the one who loses the way is the ditch, the Dan holds the power is the Qing Xiang, and the one who loses the momentum is the Pifu; for example, if the bird of the rivers and lakes is not much, the bird of bosis, the gathering of geese is not much, and the double fly is not less. Xi Sanren went and Yin Was vain, The Second Elder returned to Zhou Chi, Zi Xu died and Wu died, Seed, Li Cun and Yue Bo, Wu Zhen entered and Qin Xi, Le Yi came out and Yan was afraid, Fan Sui was in danger of Folding hou, cai Ze laughed at Tang Ju although he was silent. Therefore, when there is something wrong with him, not Xiao, Cao, Zifang, Ping, Bo, Fan, and Huo cannot be at peace; when his death is also, the disciples of the chapters and sentences sit and keep it, and they also suffer from death. In the chaos of the world, the sage is insufficiency and insufficient; in the rule of the world, the mediocre man sits high and has more than enough. "A man of the world who is a husband is either unbound and married, or a brown man, or a man who laughs at the door of Yiyi, or a fisherman who crosses a river and a pond; or a man who speaks seventy times without encountering, or who is a marquis in the middle of a conversation; or who rides in a dark alley in vain, or who embraces a broom and is a pioneer." It is the soldier who believes in his tongue and strives for his pen, and the gap is flawed and there is nothing to blame. Today's county orders do not invite soldiers, the county guards do not welcome the teacher, the group of secretaries does not invite guests, and will not bow their eyebrows; those who speak strangely see doubts, and those who act are special, and those who want to talk are fixed with their tongues, and those who want to walk are full of feet and surrender. The township makes the people of the last world live in the present, the policy is not a branch, the practice is not filial piety, the non-square, the only can resist the slack, the right and wrong of the times, the high to be commanded, the next touch, and the peace of the purple? "And I have heard that the fiery are extinguished, and the rumbling is absolute; watching the thunder and watching the fire, for the profit is the truth, the heavens reap its sound, and the earth hides its heat." The house of the wise, the ghost overlooks its room. Those who grab the shackles die, those who are silent exist; those who are extremely dangerous, and those who guard themselves are complete. It is the reason why he knows Xuan Zhimo, the extreme of keeping the Tao; the quiet of The Qing Dynasty, the court of the gods; the only silence, the house of virtue. The world is different, humanity is not different, and when the other and I are easy, I don't know what it is. Imako laughs at the Phoenix Emperor with the owl, and mocks the turtle and dragon with the cockroach, and is not sick! The disciple laughs at my Xuanzhi Shangbai, and I also laugh at the illness of the son, not to be trampled, flat magpie, sad husband! ”

"Now the Great Han has the East China Sea on the left, the Qu River on the right, Panyu in the front, and Tao Tu in the back. There is a lieutenant in the southeast and a waiting in the northwest. The guilty are tied to the emblem ink, and more seriously behead the head with a mass hammer, distribute the liturgical music, indoctrinate the "poems" and "books", and build the schoolhouse, which lasts for years. The people of the world all act like thunder, gather like clouds, overlap fish scales, all operate in the eight directions, everyone thinks that they are guilty, everyone thinks that they are guilty, everyone wears a crown and talks about people are compared with Ah Heng, the five-foot boy is ashamed compared with Yan Baby Yiwu; Lu Shun's high into the clouds, the road is abandoned in the ditch, the morning is the qingxiang, the night is the loss of power is the pifu; just like the small birds in the rivers and lakes, the birds, the four geese gathering is not much, and the double flight is not less. After the first three benevolent people left, Yin was weak, the two old men returned to Zhou and became strong, Zi Xu died and Wu perished, Seed and Li were hegemonic in Yue, Wu duan came to Qin to be happy, Le Yi walked Yan fearfully, Fan Ju used folding to make Hou Hou dangerous, and Cai Ze was ridiculed by Tang Ju with Qu Yi. Therefore, when the day was vivid and chaotic, it was not Xiao, Cao, Zifang, Ping, Bo, Fan, and Huo who could not be stable; when the day was stable, Zhang shu Xiaoru sat together to guard, and there was nothing to be afraid of. Therefore, when the world is in turmoil, it is not enough for the sages to drive away; when the world is stable, it is more than enough to sit back. "Some of the scholars of the previous generations loosened their ties, some took off their brown clothes, some laughed by wrapping their arms, and some crossed the river pond to fish; some did not use their lobbying seventy times, and some were enthroned in the middle of standing and talking; some let the king of a thousand rides ride to the dark alley, and some made the monarch take a broom as a guide. Therefore, the scholar is very able to stretch out his tongue and lift the pen, and there is no end to drilling the gap. Today's county orders do not invite scholars, the county guards do not welcome teachers, and the secretaries of the group do not treat guests with courtesy, and they will not bow their eyebrows; those who talk about strange things are suspected, and those who behave strangely are punished, so those who want to talk about them do not make a sound, and the hesitation of wanting to walk stops. If the scholars of the previous generation are in today's place, the countermeasures are not A section, the behavior is not filial piety, the behavior is not square, the people can be neglected, they often comment on right and wrong, they wait for Shao Shu, and the bad news is dismissed, how can they wear bruises? "And I have heard that the blazing light of the fire will eventually be extinguished, and the thunder will eventually cease; and when you look at the thunder and look at the fire, you will think that it is full, and the heavens will gather its sound, and the earth will hide its heat." A tall and bright home, a ghost peeking into his house. The demise of the struggle for power and power, the survival of obscurity; the danger of high ancestors, the preservation of the body by self-preservation, so knowing that Xuan Mo is the apex of the way; being able to be quiet and touring in the divine court; lonely and indifferent, is the house of shoude. Things change, humanity doesn't change, and when I change with him, I don't know what will happen. Now you laugh at the phoenix with the owl, and laugh at the turtle dragon with the cockroach, isn't that wrong! You laughed in vain at me for advocating white with Xuan, and I also laughed at you for being very sick, but you couldn't touch the slacker and the flat magpie, sadly! ”
