A gentleman's journey is quiet to cultivate one's morality, and frugal to cultivate one's morality. Not cold, not awake, not quiet, not far away. You must be quiet before you can study. If you don't learn, you can't be versatile, and if you don't want to learn, you can't succeed. Slow can't have vitality, and risk can't have sex. Time goes by, meaning goes by, and then becomes withered, not meeting the world, and staying in a poor house sadly. What will happen?

translate

The character of a person with both ability and political integrity is cultivated by inner peace and concentration, and by frugal style. If you don't look down on worldly fame and fortune, you can't define your ambitions, and you can't realize your lofty ideals without physical and mental peace. You must concentrate on your studies, and you must study hard to increase your talents. If you don't study hard, you can't increase your intelligence. If you don't have a clear ambition, you can't achieve anything in your study. Pursuing excessive pleasure and laziness can't cheer up the spirit, and frivolous temper can't cultivate temperament. Over time, the will will wear away with time, and finally it will be useless to society like dead branches and leaves. What's the use of sighing in your own small world?

Owls will migrate eastward.

The owl met the pigeon. The dove said, "My son will be safe." The owl said, "I will move eastward." The dove said, "Why?" The owl said, "All the villagers hate my singing, so they moved eastward." The dove said, "It doesn't matter if my son can sing louder. He moved east when he couldn't sing. "

Translation:

The owl met the turtledove, who asked him, "Where are you going?"

The owl said, "I want to move to the east."

Turtledove asked, "Why?"

The owl said, "everyone in the village hates my cry, so I want to move to the east."

Turtledove said, "You can call it another name. If you can't change your crying, even if you move to the east, people in the east village will still hate you. " . . .

Explain that this fable warns people that they should fundamentally solve their major shortcomings and some major problems, and they can't talk about things and avoid contradictions like owls moving. Such a problem cannot be solved. .................................. 3~ "Learning Chess"

Qiu Yi is the best athlete in this country.

Let Qiu Yi teach two people to play chess.

One of them is dedicated to ambition, but only to autumn.

Although one listened to it, he thought it was a swan and wanted to help him shoot it.

Although I learned chess from the previous one, chess is still not as good as the previous one.

Is it because his intelligence is not as good as the former? That's not true.

4~ "The Day of Two Children Debating"

When Confucius traveled eastward, he saw two children arguing and asked them why.

A child said, "I think the sun is close to the sky at sunrise and far from the sky at noon." . "

A Confucius said, "I am far away at the beginning of the day, and I am near in Japan."

A son said, "The sunrise is as big as a car cover. Speaking of Japanese and China, it's like a dish. Isn't it that the far is small and the near is big? "

Another child said, "The sun just came out to cool down, and it was as hot as putting your hand in hot water at noon. Isn't that why you feel hot when you are near and cool when you are far away?" ? "

Hearing this, Confucius could not judge who was right or wrong. The two children smiled and said to Confucius, "Who said you were smart?" ? "......................................................................... 5~ carve a boat for a sword.

There was a man crossing a river in Chu, and his sword fell from the boat into the water. He made a mark on the side of the ship with his sword and said, "This is where my sword fell." . The ship stopped at the destination, and the Chu people jumped into the water from the marked place to find the sword. The boat can, but not the sword. You won't be confused if you ask for a sword!

City people can't read their surnames. They have money at home and many books. Therefore, Heng is cooperating with him, not claiming compensation. The master asked Heng strangely, and Heng said, "May the master read all the books." The host sighed, gave books and became a university.

There is nothing he can do. An old Russian father said: "I am not a saint, but I have seen many things." Why don't you use a saw to go in? " Then cut it according to it.

10~ spear and shield

Chu people have shields and spears, and they are well-known: "My shield is strong and I can't sink." He praised his spear and said, "The benefits of my spear are all trapped in things." Or (4): "What about the shield with the child's spear?" He has the ability to respond. Invincible shields and invincible spears cannot coexist. -"Everything is ready > ....................................................................................................... 1 1~ Airport Snow Club.

The ancient archer Gan Fei drew his bow, and the wild animal crouched under the bird. Disciple Wei Fei learned to shoot flies, but he was more skilled than his teacher.

Ji Changzhe also learned to shoot at Wei Fei. Wei Fei said: "I can't learn it instantly before I can shoot."

Ji Changgui, lying under his wife's machine, took the lead with his eyes. Two years later, although the cone tail fell off, it was not instantaneous.

Tell Wei Fei. Wei Fei said. "Not also, will learn to watch before. See the big with the small, see the small with the small, and then tell me. "

I often hang lice on scorpions and look from the south. Between ten days, the sense of immersion is also great; Three years later, it's like a wheel. If you want to see the rest, you can see the hills and mountains. It is the arc of the swallow's horn, which was shot by Shuo Peng's pole, penetrated the heart of the louse and hung on it.

Tell Wei Fei. Wei Fei danced and said, "You made it!"

The translation is as follows, for reference only:

Gan Fei was an excellent archer in ancient times. Before the bow was fully opened, the birds and animals fell down. Disciple Wei Fei learned archery from Gan Fei and surpassed his master. Ji Chang learned archery from Wei Fei again.

Wei Fei said, "You have to learn not to blink before you can talk about archery."

Ji Chang returned home, lying on his back under his wife's loom, staring at the shuttle (practicing not blinking). Two years later, he didn't blink even if he used a cone spike (Jichang's) eyelid. (He told Wei Fei about it), Wei Fei said, "Kung Fu isn't home yet, but you have to learn to look at things-make the small big, make the small obvious, and then tell me."

Ji Chang hung on the window with yak hair tied with lice and came from the south to practice. Ten days later, the lice in Jichang's eyes gradually became bigger; After three years, I feel as big as a wheel. Looking around, everything is as big as a hill. So he used a bow decorated with the horn of Yan State, and an arrow made in the North Pole shot at the louse, penetrating the center of the louse, but the hair tied to the louse was not broken. Tell Wei Fei (about it). Wei Fei jumped up happily, patted his chest and said, "You have mastered the skill." ........................................................................ 12~ Suspected neighbor stealing axe.

There is this story in Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals and Liezi Fu Shuo.

The original text is as follows:

Some people forget their axes, but they are neighbors' sons. According to his steps, he stole an axe; Color, stealing axes; Words, stealing axes; Attitude, doing nothing and not stealing an axe. Suddenly, dig its valley and take its axe. He saw his neighbor's son again and again, and his behavior and attitude were nothing like stealing an axe.

The translation is as follows:

Once upon a time, a countryman lost an axe. He suspected that the neighbor's son stole it, and observed the way the man walked, like stealing an axe; Look at the man's face and expression, it's like stealing an axe; Listening to him is more like an axe thief. The man's words and deeds are like an axe thief.

Later, when the man who lost his axe was digging in the valley, he dug it out. Then he looked at his neighbor's son carefully and didn't walk like an axe thief. He doesn't look like an axe thief; His words and deeds are even less like an axe thief, and that man's words and deeds are not like an axe thief. ......................................................... 13 ~ & lt； & lt Repair the house in public >>

Every morning, the public leans in the room and sighs, "People with bad lives! If the house is repaired, it won't rain. Isn't this a waste of work? "

[Ming] Feng Menglong's "An Overview of Ancient and Modern Times", the original text:

In the later Han Dynasty, Si Mahui did not talk about people's shortcomings, but talked with people and said good things about beauty and evil. Someone asked Hui, "Are you safe? Answer: "Good." Someone died in Chen Zi and replied, "Great. "The wife said," The people are virtuous and monarch, so tell each other, why not talk about people's death? Hui said, "As you said, that's great! Today people call it "Mr. Nice guy", which is why.

Translation:

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Si Mahui never talked about other people's shortcomings, and almost always said "good". Someone once asked him, "How is he recently? He simply answered a word: "Good. On another occasion, when someone told him about the death of his son, he said, "Good. Seeing Mr. Rainbow like this, his wife scolded him and said, "People told him that his son died out of respect because they thought you were kind. How can they tell him a good reason when they hear that someone else has died? "After listening to his wife's words, he responded:" As you just said, it is also very good! This is the origin of the word "Mr. Nice guy". .............., why not?
