It is recorded in the article Historical Records and Funny Biography. The following is a part about Dong Fangshuo.

During the period of Liang Wudi, Qi people were famous in the East. They handed down books, loved classics and learned other people's languages. The first day of each lunar month.

When I first entered Chang 'an, when I wrote a letter on the bus, I used 3 thousand dozen letters. The bus lets two people hold books, but they can only win.

People read from the top, stop, finish, and read in February. Worship as a lang, often waiting on the side. count

Before being called to talk, the host wouldn't say anything. When the imperial edict gives food to the front. After the meal, the rest of the meat was taken away and the clothes were used up.

Dirty. I sent a few gifts, but the eaves were not covered. Just use the money and silk to get a young woman from Chang 'an. Take a one-year-old female office as an example.

Those who abandon take more women. All the money was given to women. That man is the "madman" who called around Zhu Lang. mankind

When the Lord heard this, he said, "Shi Shuo has done nothing in his work and is a walker." If he can wait for peace! " Shuoren's son is Lang, and so is he.

Visitors often hold festivals and preach. At the Moon Temple, Lang said, "Everyone is crazy about her husband." Shuo said, "For example,

New moon, etc. , the so-called living between the imperial court. People in ancient times avoided the world in the mountains. "When the table, wine,

According to the local song: "Shen Lu customs, avoid the Golden Horse Gate." You can hide from the world in the palace, so why are you in the mountains, Artemisia?

Under the house. "Golden Horse Gate, the official department also, there are bronze horses by the door, so it is called' Golden Horse Gate'.

At that time, I got together with Dr. Zhu in the palace to discuss with him. * * * It was hard to say at that time, "Su Qin and Zhang should be the owners of Wancheng, and

The status of capital and prime minister will benefit future generations. Today, doctors practice the skills of the first king, praise the righteousness of saints, and satirize the words of a hundred schools of poetry and books.

Countless. Written on bamboo and silk, I think I am unparalleled in the world, and I can be described as knowledgeable. However, I am committed to serving the saints.

The emperor, after a long period of time, has accumulated for decades. His official position is only an assistant minister and his position is only a halberd. Do Italians still have evil deeds? Why?

What else? "Oriental wins said," solid son is impossible to prepare. At the same time, how can we be the same at this time! Zhang fu

Instrument, Su Qin, Zhou room big bad, governors don't toward, politics for power, birds with soldiers, and for the twelve countries, not for.

Men and women, those who gain a scholar are strong, and those who lose a scholar are dead. Therefore, listen and act, hold important positions, and benefit future generations. today

It's unnatural. The holy emperor is in the world, and the virtue is in the world. The princes served the guests and shocked the whole world. They even think they are seats, and they are very satisfied.

Cover the bowl, the average in the world, is a family. It is like the palm of your hand. What's the difference between virtue and corruption?

There are countless people who have exhausted their theories and converged with the size of the world and the number of scholars. Longing for justice, sleepy

In terms of food and clothing, I still lost the door. Zhang Yi, Su Qin and his servant were born in this world together, but once they don't get an anecdote, they dare to read it.

Assistant minister serves! Chuanyue:' There is no harm in the world, although there are saints, they are useless; Up and down, although there are sages,

No advantages. Therefore, things are human beings and things are human beings. Although, can Ann not cultivate one's morality? The poem reads:' Drumming in the palace,

I have heard of it. He Ming nine high, the sound of nature. . If you can cultivate self-cultivation, why not! Taigong is seventy lines of benevolence and righteousness.

In two years, when I met King Wen, I kept my word and sealed it in Qi. I am 700 years old and have never stopped. The reason why this scholar works hard day and night is that he studies hard.

I dare not stop in the street. Scholars in this world, though useless, are solitary, up and down.

Look at the relationship with Yu, discuss with you the big plan, be loyal and dedicated, the world is peaceful, uphold justice, be few and few, and consolidate the foundation. son

Why doubt it! "So the gentlemen were silent.

After Zhanggong Palace was built, something appeared under the oak tree, which looked like an elk. With the smell, Emperor Wu took a look. Ask the left and right ministers

Those who read the classics will never know. A letter to Dong Fangshuo. Shuo said: "I know, I am willing to give you good wine and good food."

I'm talking. Zhao Yue: "Yes. "He said," There are several hectares of reeds in a fish pond in the public domain, and your majesty has given them to me.

Chen Shuo is a speaker. Zhao Yue: "Yes." So the new moon was willing to speak and said, "The so-called fangs are also. Come back from afar

Righteousness, but foresight If one tooth after another is neat and toothless, it is called fangs. "At that time, one year old, huns.

The evil Ken Wang will send hundreds of people to the Han Dynasty. Giving back to the east is a lot of money.

When he was old, when he died, he protested: "The poem says,' The business of the bluefly stops in the wild. A gentleman should be honest with others, and should not be credulous of gossip.

Gossip is useless, and the four countries are in chaos. May your majesty be wise and return the slanderers. "The emperor said," what about Dong Fangshuo today? "

Strange. Living without geometry will lead to death. Chuan said: "The bird is dying, and its song is also sad; People are dying, and their words are also.

Oh, my god "This is also called.

(modern translation):

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Dong Fangshuo in the State of Qi. Because I like handed down books and love Confucian classics, I read a hundred books widely. When Dong Fangshuo first arrived in Chang 'an, he went to Chefu to write a letter to the emperor, and * * * used three thousand wooden slips. The bus house sent two people to lift his throne together, just enough to lift it. Emperor Wu read Dong Fangshuo's memorial in the palace. When he needed to stop reading, he marked it there and read it for two months. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the appointment of Dong Fangshuo as a Langguan, who often served beside the emperor. Repeatedly asked him to speak, Emperor Wu never felt unhappy. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty often gave him an imperial edict to eat. After dinner, he held the rest of the meat in his arms and stained his clothes. The emperor gave him silks many times, and he always took them with his hands. He used the money and silk gifts to marry a beautiful young woman in Chang 'an. Most of them abandoned it after a year of marriage and found new lovers. All the money given by the emperor is spent on women. Half the courtiers around the emperor called him "crazy". Emperor Wu listened and said, "If Dong Fangshuo is not an official, how can you compare with him?" Dong Fangshuo recommended his son to be a Langguan, and he was promoted to be a courtier among the attendants. He often places orders and travels. One day, Dong Fangshuo passed by this temple, and Lang Guan said to him, "People think Mr. Wang is crazy." Dong Fangshuo said, "People like me are so-called hermits in the imperial court. People in ancient times lived in seclusion in the mountains. " He often sits at banquets and drinks happily, then climbs on the ground and sings, "Living in seclusion, avoiding the world in the Golden Horse Gate. You can save yourself in seclusion in the palace. Why do you live in seclusion in a mountain hut? " The so-called Golden Horse Gate is the gate of the official department, and there are bronze horses beside the gate, so it is called "Golden Horse Gate".

At that time, the imperial court summoned doctors and gentlemen from Gong Xue to participate in the discussion. Everyone booed Dong Fangshuo and said, "Su Qin and Zhang Yi happened to meet the monarch of a big country. They can live in the position of your prime minister, and their kindness will be passed down to future generations. Now, your old gentleman is studying the alchemy of former Wang Zhiguo, and he is advocating the truth that saints set up the world, and he is familiar with the comments of hundreds of poets, so he can't list them one by one. There are articles and works. If you think a Chinese Odyssey is knowledgeable and wise, you can demonstrate it. However, you have tried your best to serve Emperor Ming Sheng faithfully for decades. The official title is just an assistant minister, and the position is just a guard. So you haven't shown enough? What is the reason? " Dong Fangshuo said, "This is not something you can fully understand. At that time, it was one era, and now it is another. How can it be compared? In the era of Yi Cheung and Su Qin, the Zhou Dynasty was already in decline. Instead of appearing before the Emperor of Zhou, the vassals seized power by force and invaded each other by military means. The world merged into twelve vassal States with equal strength. He who gains a scholar is strong, and he who loses a scholar dies. Therefore, they obeyed the orders of the scholars, making them occupy high positions, and future generations enjoyed prosperity for a long time. This is not the case now. The wise emperor is in charge of the world's political affairs, and the princes are obedient and majestic, connecting the territory outside the four seas into a paradise like a table, which is more stable than an upside-down plate and the world is unified. Every movement is as simple as turning in the palm of your hand. What makes you distinguish between virtuous and not virtuous? Nowadays, due to the breadth of the world and the number of scholars, countless people have tried their best to lobby, just like the spokes gathered in the automobile hub, competing to gather in the capital to make suggestions for the court. Although they strongly advocate morality, they are still trapped by food and clothing, and some even can't find a way to enter the body. If Zhang Yi, Su Qin and I were born together in today's era, how can they expect to be permanent assistants if they can't even get a small official in charge of stories about the old system and old cases? The ancient book says:' There is no disaster in the world, even if there are saints, there is no place to display their talents; Even if there are wise men, there is no place to make achievements. "So, in different times, things will change accordingly. However, how can you not cultivate yourself? "Poetry" says, "Ring the bell in the palace, and the sound can spread to the outside." Crane is singing in the distant depths of Shui Ze, and their voices can reach the sky. If you can cultivate yourself, you still worry about what you won't get glory! Qi Taigong personally practiced benevolence and righteousness for 72 years, and only when he met Zhou Wenwang was he able to carry out his ideas and seal them in Qi, and his thoughts remained unchanged for 700 years. This is why scholars work tirelessly day and night, study knowledge and publicize their ideas, but they dare not stop. Nowadays, the hermit in the world, though not a temporary job, can be detached and independent, be independent, look at Xu You from a distance, look at Jieyu from a close distance, be resourceful as Fan Li, be more loyal than Wu Zixu, be at peace in the world, cultivate one's morality and be self-sustaining, but have few friends. This is a very common thing. Why do you doubt me? "So the gentlemen answered without saying a word.

In the double railings of Zhang Jian Palace's back pavilion, an animal ran out, shaped like an elk. The news reached the palace, and Emperor Wu went to watch it himself. Ask people around you who are familiar with things and know the classics. No one can know what animal it is. I sent a letter to Dong Fangshuo to read. Dong Fangshuo said, "I know about it. Please give me a good wine and a good meal before I say it. " Emperor Wu said, "Yes." After dinner, Dong Fangshuo said, "There are public fields, fish ponds and reed ponds somewhere. I won't say anything unless your majesty gives them to me." Emperor Wu said, "Yes." So I am willing to say, "This is an animal called Fang. Something came to surrender in the distance, and the fangs appeared first. Its teeth are the same before and after, the same size, and there are no big teeth, so it is called fangs. " Later, after a year or so, the Huns mixed evil king really led 100 thousand people to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu gave Dong Fangshuo a lot of money.

In old age. On his deathbed, Dong Fangshuo exhorted Emperor Wu to say, "The Book of Songs says,' Flies fly around and land on the fence. A kind gentleman, don't listen to rumors. "There is no peace in the neighboring countries. I hope your majesty will stay away from flatterers and repel their slanders. Emperor Wu said, "Looking back at Dong Fangshuo now, can he just talk?" I am surprised by this. Soon, Dong Fangshuo really died of illness. The ancient book said: "A bird died, and its cry was particularly sad;" When people die, they speak kindly. "That's what I mean.
