Scholars despise each other since ancient times. Fu Yizhi in Ban Gu 'er's ear, though young, said firmly to his younger brother, "Wuzhong regards being able to return to Wen as the history of Lantai, so he can't stop writing." Madam is good at self-observation, but literature is not an organic whole, and it is rarely prepared, so she has her own strengths and weaknesses. There is a saying in China Chinese: "If there is a broken broom at home, give it to your daughter." I can't see myself. Today's literati: Kong Ju from Lu, Chen Zhang from Guangling, Wang Shen from Beihai, Xu from Ruan Yu, Liu Chen, De Lian from Yunyang in Runan, Serina Liu from Dongping, and Qizi, who have nothing left to read and speak, are proud of their achievements of thousands of miles. It's hard to get this suit! Mr. Gai judges himself and others, so as to avoid fatigue and write a paper.

Translation:

Scholars despise each other, as it has been since ancient times. Fu Yi and Ban Gu are equally talented in humanities. However, Ban Gu despises Yi Fu. In a letter to his younger brother Ban Chao, he said: "Fu Wuzhong became an official in the history of Lantai because he was good at writing articles, but he wrote a thousand words, which is endless." Ordinary people always see their own advantages, but there is not only one genre of articles. Few people are good at all genres, so everyone always uses what they are good at to despise what others are not good at. There is a saying in the village, "If you have a broken broom at home, you will know that it is worth thousands of dollars." I can't see my own problems clearly. There are only seven literati left, namely Kong Wenju in Shandong, Chen in Guangling, Wang, Xu Weichang in Beihai, Ruan Wenyu in Ruan Yu in Chenliu, Ying Zuo in Runan, Serina Liu and Liu Gonggan in Dongping. These "seven sons" don't lack anything in learning. They don't borrow other people's words, they are neck and neck (in the literary world), and it is really difficult for them to admire each other. I look at myself to measure others, so I can write this paper without such a drag. ?
