The classical Chinese article I learned today is selected from "New Words on the World·Xianyuan", Xianyuan, that is, a lady with noble character. One of them is called "Zhao's mother marrying a daughter". Zhao's mother marrying a daughter. When the daughter left, she ordered her to say, "Be careful not to do it!" The girl said, "If it is not good, can it be evil?" The mother said, "You can't do it well, but it is evil!"
means that Zhao's mother specifically told her daughter to come to her husband's house and not do good things easily. Why is this? Because when you work hard in a new place, it will appear that others have not worked before. This is the unique way of the Chinese people. In the prose of Mr. Liang Shiqiu , he specifically recorded something. After returning from the United States, he taught in Qingdao for several years. Later, he returned to his home in Beijing with his wife. As soon as he returned home, he pulled out the weeds in the yard with his wife, but this incident was watched by others in the family. At first, Liang Shiqiu didn't quite understand why, but later he understood that he had ignored the truth about "My mother Zhao married her daughter".
Let’s take a look at the classical Chinese article I learned today: Tao Gong When he was young, he worked as a Yuliang official, and he used the crucible to pay his mother. The mother sealed the sacred man and wrote a letter to complain, saying, "You are an official and you see the salary with official goods. It is not only not beneficial, but it will increase my worries."
This story is very simple, it is Tao Mu warned her son not to use public welfare, to fill the public's things, and to prevent the problem from escalating. Let’s analyze and interpret it one by one.
Tao Gong was a Yuliang official when he was young, Tao Gong refers to Tao Kan . Tao Kan was the great-grandfather of Tao Yuanming . Now Tao Yuanming is much more famous than Tao Kan, but during Eastern Jin , Tao Kan was really an amazing person. Tao Yuanming was recommended to be an official, and often he had to rely on Tao Kan's reputation. Tao Kan became the Grand Sima and was named Duke of Changsha County. He was the center of the Eastern Jin court and was famous for his ruling and country. In the two rebellions that suppressed Wang Dun and Su Jun, they made great achievements and made indelible contributions to the country.
kan appears in a person's name. I thought it was strange at first, because we usually say "kan Dashan" and "kanye" means boasting, so I thought that kan was not a good word, so how could it be used in a person's name? But later, I met several people in my life who were famous and chatted. There was a doctor named Luo Kan in Wangjing Hospital, a commentator named Zeng Kan , and there was also a son of Kong Xiangxi , Kong Lingkan .
So I specifically checked what kids mean in a person’s name: as a person’s name means to talk and laugh, be sharp, fair, and upright; it means to be calm, talk freely and upright when encountering things.
Yuliangye, official in charge of river fishery. Fish beams, a fishing facility, use soil and rocks to cross the water flow, leaving a gap, allowing the fish to flow into bamboo baskets and other instruments with the water.
In other words, Tao Kan's job is to be responsible for fishing. It is probably normal for human beings to use the convenience of his work to help his mother some benefits.
We all say that officials, or corrupt officials, always rank officials together. In fact, there are big differences between officials. Officials are superior identities, officials are the main positions, that is, superiors, and ranks. Officials are appointed by the central government. Therefore, they are also called "official officials". Therefore, officials are all "state cadres." Officials are inferior and serve officials, while officials are "not in the market" and are recruited by the superiors themselves. Therefore, officials can only be regarded as "service personnel" in the government.
Before Song Dynasty , there was no gap between officials. Many people from minor officials could jump into the temple. For example, Xiao He , served as the chief official of Pei County during Qin Dynasty , assisted Liu Bang and finally served as prime minister. Tao Kan also worked as a Yuliang official and later became the Grand Sima, but gradually, there was a gap between officials. In the Song Dynasty, officials could only be officials, just like Song Jiang, who could only be minor officials in their lives.
Although the status of officials is not high, sometimes they have great power. The minister of the Western Han Dynasty Zhou Bo once led a large army and was arrogant. However, he was later imprisoned and humiliated by the prisoners in prison. He once sighed, "I always command a million troops, but how can I know the value of prisoners?" He is not afraid of officials but is afraid of being in charge.
Take a crucible, crucible: a pottery that holds things. ginger, processed fish foods, such as pickled fish, scattered fish , etc. He once gave fish to his mother in clay pots. Tao Kan is a fishing official, so it is not too much to give some fish to his mother. He will get a month before getting close to the water. He is so happy that he won’t wash the boat. But Tao's mother's reaction was very fierce.
mother sealed the fish and said, "My mother sealed the fish and handed it to the person who came to deliver the food," and wrote a letter to scold Tao Kan. Not only did Tao's mother not accept it, she wanted to scold her son's approach, and did not think it was a trivial matter.
You are an official and you see the salary of officials and property. It is not only not beneficial, but it will increase my worries. As an official, you give me the items from the government. This not only does not benefit, but also adds to my sorrow! A can of fish is a very worthless thing, and it seems like a small matter, but it is a matter of a person's quality, and it is a big matter. Moreover, the thousand-mile dike was destroyed in the ant hole. Now I can take a can of fish and I may get countless gold, silver and treasures in the future. Therefore, Tao’s mother must resolutely stop Tao Kan’s behavior from small things, and it is necessary to prevent problems from happening.
This is why Tao’s mother is called Xianyuan. The way and attitude of Tao’s mother to educate her son are also very worth learning for us modern people.
This classical Chinese article looks at the rhythm of the writing , and the rebellion of the letter and the complaints of the official business, not only does it benefit, but it increases my worries. is basically a four-word sentence, with a very strong sense of rhythm, both a sense of cease and very smooth. This is the technique of writing.
