For example:
Essays occupy an important position in Han Wenzhong. The novellas that focus on respecting Confucianism and opposing Buddhism include The Original Road, The Buddha's Bone Table, The Original Nature, The Teacher's Commentary and so on. Most of them are well organized, well organized. Miscellaneous essays such as Miscellaneous Notes and Enlightenment satirize the current social situation, with clever metaphors and profound implications; Novels, such as "Sending Poor Articles" and "Learning Solutions", adopt the form of question and answer, with humorous strokes, strange ideas and sharp edges. Literary thoughts and writing experience are diverse in genre, changeable in writing style, fantastic in image and exquisite in theory. Narrative occupies a large proportion in Han Wenzhong. Scholars who study classics, such as Pinghuai Xibei, use the styles of Shangshu, Ya and Fu, which are large in length and heavy in sentences. Ji Hua directly tells many characters, and its writing style is beyond Shangshu Gu Ming and Zhou Li's Examination of Gong Ji Zi's Rule of Man. Inherit the tradition of historical prose in Historical Records, such as the famous Biography of Zhang Zhongcheng, which combines narration, discussion and lyric in one furnace. Draw lessons from Historical Records and Hanshu to portray vivid and strange characters without discussion, such as the epitaph of Wang Jun in Dali and the epitaph of Zhang Jun in Qinghe. Memorizing literary friends can highlight the characteristics of different writers, such as Epitaph of Liu Zihou, Epitaph of Nanyang Fan Shaoshu and Epitaph of Mr. Yao Zhen. But in a large number of tombstones and epitaphs, Han Yu also wrote some works of "praising the tomb" (referring to praising the behavior of the deceased and exaggerating all his achievements in the epitaph), which was already ridiculed at that time.
Odes in lyric articles, such as Ode to Twelve Lang, are written in prose, which breaks through the routine of four rhymes. One kind writes about friendship between friends and hardships in life, with four rhymes, such as Henan Foreign Language and Liu Zihou. In addition, a wild letter with Meng Dongye and a preface to seeing Yang off are also masterpieces with certain appeal. Han Yu's other essays, such as Biography of Mao Ying and Preface to Ding Shilian's Poems, are completely fictional and close to legendary novels. Han Yu's prose is magnificent, vertical and horizontal, odd and even, and clever metaphor; Or cunning, or solemn, with a variety of artistic characteristics; Sweep away the gentle and charming style of writing since the Six Dynasties.
He is good at sublating the language of his predecessors and refining the spoken language at that time, such as "flying as a dog" ("seeing poverty"), "doing different things together" and "taking everything" ("learning to understand"), which are widely used in Han Wenzhong. He advocated "preface", created a written prose language extracted from spoken language, and expanded the expressive function of classical Chinese. But he also has an embarrassing sentence. The self-assertion that "it is impossible to do things in good times and entertain yourself" ("Sending the Poor") has a certain influence on future generations. Han Yu is also a famous poet, whose artistic characteristics are mainly strangeness, heroism and strangeness. For example, Lu Hun's Rhyme of Mountain Fire and Huangfu, Poem of Eclipse, Yuchuan Self-made, etc. have strange and profound contents. Nanshan's poems, Yueyang Tower's four ambitions of fighting, Meng Dongye's lost son, etc. Very spectacular. However, while pursuing strangeness, Korean poetry tends to fill unfamiliar words and rhymes. Han Yu also has an unpretentious poem. Korean poetry is ancient and short, but there are also excellent quatrains. For example, in the Seven Laws, I moved to Languan to show my grandnephew, Answering Zhang's Eleven Palace Exercises, Titing Yiliang, Sending Zhang's Twelve Pavilions to Tongguan and Titing Chu Zhao Wang Dian, etc.
Among the ancient books of Han Dynasty, Wei Huaizhong's Collection of Works of Mr. Changli of the Five Hundred Music School in Southern Song Dynasty and Waiji are the best. The most popular editions are The Collection of Mr. Changli, The Collection Outside and Legacy (reprinted by Xu Shi Dong in Ming Dynasty). In Qing Dynasty, Gu and Fang Shiju each had a single note on a poem. Qian Zhonglian's Annotation of Han Changli's Poems in the Year is another year's collection of notes. In addition, Jing Yun,, Wang, Shen Qinhan, Fang Cheng, Modern Xu Zhen, etc. The Chronicle of Zi Han written by Hong Xingzu in Song Dynasty is the most detailed. The relevant parts of Zhao Yi's Poems of Oubei, Fang's Zhao Mei and Lin Shu's Korean Studies Law are representative works to comment on his poems.
2. Han Yu's translation of ancient Chinese is fluent, so it is not easy to make friends with others. When I was young, I was good friends with Meng Jiao in Luoyang and Zhang Ji in Dong Jun. They didn't pursue fame and gain, the more they didn't avoid the cold and heat, saying that they were recommended to the public and officials, and eventually became the division, which was rewarded by the land division. Although the post is expensive, every time I retire, I will talk about banquets and write poems, just like the past. And the opinions of all powerful people, such as servants, ignore them. And it can lure him down. The people in the museum are sixteen or seventeen years old. Although they don't give it in the morning, they don't mind. Generally speaking, it is a matter of raising fame and teaching and rewarding righteousness. Only ten people married friends and orphans at home and abroad. It is often thought that scholars have been detained many times since Wei and Jin Dynasties, but under the guidance of imperial edict, that touching and heroic spirit no longer resonates. So, the more you do, the more you write and the more you do. Express your thoughts and express your new language. Those who learn later should learn from others. At that time, there were many authors, so they were called "Koreans" internationally.
Translation:
Han Yu is easy-going and open-minded, and will not change his attitude because of his position. When I was young, I had a good relationship with Meng Jiao in Luoyang and Zhang Ji in Dong Jun. At that time, these two people had no fame and status. Han Yu often worked for them in princes and princes, and Zhang Ji finally embarked on a career. Later, although their status in North Korea became higher and higher, whenever they finished their official duties, they talked about poetry and literature together, as usual. But at that time, powerful nobles were treated like servants. In addition, they inspire the younger generation of children to make progress. There are 16 or 17 students throwing themselves at each other. Although some can't afford it, Han Yu doesn't mind. They all work together to promote morality and reward justice. People often think that since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people who write articles have stuck to a fixed style, with empty content and lack of practical things. The style of that era (Wei and Jin Dynasties) did not exist at that time. Therefore, the idea is that writing an article is to express one's mind directly. Create your own article and become your own family. The younger generation followed suit and learned Han Yu's style, which set off a wave. Nothing can match the atmosphere at that time, so people call that question style "Korean".
3. The classical Chinese works written by Han can be roughly divided into the following categories:
(1) Essays can be divided into two categories: one is to promote orthodoxy and Confucianism, such as The Original Road, Primitive Nature and Primitive Man; The other kind also has a more or less Ming Dow tendency, but it focuses on reflecting reality and creating dissatisfaction. Moreover, many articles have a kind of anti-vulgar and anti-traditional power, and have a strong emotional tendency in writing, such as the most representative Shi Shuo and Ma Shuo.
2 Essays, compared with essays, essays are more free and casual, long or short, Zhuang or harmonic, and essays vary from thing to thing and have their own uses. For example, "Jin Xuejie" uses questions and answers for irony, and the full text uses rhetoric and prose for comparison and confrontation, so the writing is relaxed and lively. The most famous essays are those that mock reality and have sharp arguments, such as ZaShuo and Huo, which are lively and eclectic in form and have high literary value.
(3) Preface (that is, the gift preface) is concise and ingenious, showing all kinds of feelings about the real society, such as the postscript to Zhang Zhongcheng's Biography, the preface to seeing off Li Pangu and the preface to seeing off Meng Dongye. In addition, Han Yu also showed outstanding material narrative ability in biographies and epitaphs, such as Biography of Mao Ying and Epitaph of Liu Zihou.

original text
Mr Guo Zi entered Imperial College London in the morning and invited all the students to set up a library. He said [1]: "industry is good at diligence, but poor at interest;" What I did was thought, but it was destroyed. The sages meet today, and the fixture is completed [2]. Pull out evil spirits and worship good [3]. The ratio of small good people is recorded, and those who are famous for their technology are useless [4]. Climb, scrape and polish [5]. Guy was lucky to be elected, but which cloud is more than the others? Not all students are proficient, and there is no ignorance of the department; If you can't succeed in doing things, you won't suffer injustice [6]. "
Before speaking, someone laughed at the column and said, "Sir, you are lying to me! Disciple, I have been here for many years. Mr. Wang never stops talking about the six arts, and his hand is constantly covered with the compilation of "A hundred schools of thought contend" [7].

Looking for infinite threads [12], I looked everywhere. The obstacle ran all the way to the east, and the tide turned back. Mr. Wang is a great help to Confucianism. Immersed in depression, his mind is full of books as articles [13]. Yao, Si, muddy boundless; Zhou Chen, Yin "Pan", twisted; Spring and Autumn Annals is rigorous, while Left is grandiose.

5. Which dynasty was Han Yu an official in the Tang Dynasty? Han Yu (768-824, 65438+February 25th) was born in Heyang, Henan Province (now mengzhou city, Henan Province), Han nationality, calling himself "County King Changli", known as "Han Changli" and "Mr. Changli" in the world. An outstanding writer, thinker and philosopher in Tang Dynasty.
In the eighth year of Zhenyuan (792), Han Yu won the top prize, was promoted twice, and was tired of supervising the imperial history. In the 19th year of Zhenyuan (803), he was demoted to Yangshan for deliberation. Li Hou was an official, foreign minister, historian and China calligrapher. In the 12th year of Yuanhe (8 17), he became a marching Sima in Pei Du and participated in the fight against the "Huaixi Rebellion". In the 14th year of Yuanhe (8 19), he was banished to Chaozhou for admonishing the Buddha's bones. In his later years, the official to the assistant minister of the official department was called the "Korean official department". In the fourth year of Changqing (824), Han Yu died of illness at the age of 57. He was given a book of rites written by posthumous title, hence the name "Han Wengong".
Han Yu was an advocate of the ancient prose movement in the Tang Dynasty, and was honored by later generations as the first of the "eight masters in the Tang and Song Dynasties". He and Liu Zongyuan are also called "Liu Han", and they are known as "great writers" and "one hundred generations of literators". Later generations, together with Liu Zongyuan, Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi, are also called "the four great writers of the ages". In the old Guangdong Tongzhi, it was called one of the "Eight Sages of Ancient Guangdong". [1] His prose writing theories, such as "integration of literature and Taoism", "moderation in words", "doing things appropriately" and "acting according to words", have important guiding significance for future generations. He is the author of 40 volumes of Han Changli's Collected Works, Foreign Collected Works 10, Teachers' Comments, etc.
6. Han Yu's "Shi Shuo" China ancient literature scholars must have teachers. Teacher, so preach and teach to solve doubts. People are not born knowing, who can have no doubt? If you are confused and don't follow the teacher, you will be confused and you will never understand.
Before I was born, I studied Tao before I was born, so I learned from Tao. After I was born, I studied Taoism first, so I studied Taoism. I am a teacher, and I don't know that years were born in me. Therefore, there is no nobility, no inferiority, no length, no shortage, and the existence of Tao and the existence of teachers.
Ha ha! It's been a long time since the teacher passed on the Tao! It's hard to be confused! The ancient sages are far away, and they are still in the teacher's question; Today's people are far from saints, and they are ashamed to learn from their teachers. So saints are good for saints, and fools are good for fools. What makes saints holy and fools stupid?
Love his son, choose a teacher and teach him; If you are in your body, you will feel ashamed and confused. The teacher of the boy, the reader who teaches and studies the sentences of the book, is not the person I am talking about telling his story and solving his confusion. I don't know, I don't understand, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
Witch doctors and musicians are skilled workers, and they are not ashamed to learn from each other. The families of the scholar-officials called their teacher disciple Yun, and they got together and talked and laughed. When asked, he said, "He is almost the same as that year, and in the same way. His humble position is full of shame, and his official position is close to admiration. " Oh! Obviously, the teacher's path has gone. Witch doctors are highly skilled musicians, and gentlemen disdain them. Today, his wisdom is out of reach, strange and embarrassing!
Saint impermanence teacher. Confucius studied under Tan Zi, Changhong, Shi Xiang and Lao Dan. Scorpions' disciples are not as clever as Confucius. Confucius said: If there are three people, there must be a teacher. So disciples don't have to be inferior to teachers, and teachers don't have to be superior to disciples. They have a good understanding of Taoism and specialize in their skills. That's all.
Li is seventeen years old, and he is good at classical Chinese, but there are some works in "All-knowing Six Arts", so he studies from time to time. Yu Jiaqi can follow the ancient road and write Shi Shuo to make it last forever.
7. Han Yu translated Liu Zihou's epitaph in classical Chinese (1): Liu Zongyuan's words.
As an epitaph, it should be called the official title of the deceased, because Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan are close friends, so it is called Zi. Taboo: name.
The living are named, and the dead are taboo. (2) VII: Liu Zongyuan, the minister of history books, and Liu Qing, the seventh ancestor, worked in the Northern Wei Dynasty and was a public official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Son Liu Dan, assistant minister of Ren Zhongshu in Northern Zhou Dynasty, was named Yin Gong. Han Yu recorded it incorrectly.
Attendant: The governor under the door is responsible for conveying the emperor's orders. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, ministers were the same as prime ministers.
Tuoba Wei: The monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty was named Tuoba (later renamed Yuan), so he was called Tuoba. (3) Zeng Bozu (teacher): Zi, grandson of Liu Dan, brother of Liu Zongyuan's great-grandfather Xia.
For Gao Bozu, this is Zeng Bozu's mistake. During the Zhenguan period (627-649), Liu Shi was a calligrapher in China. Because his niece Wang is the princess of the Crown Prince, she was promoted to assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
After the king proclaimed himself emperor, he was promoted to assistant minister of Zhongshu. In 652 (the third year of Yonghui), Chu Suiliang was appointed secretary of the secretariat, equivalent to the prime minister.

It may be the author's fault to say that "Dr. Tai Chang was abandoned by his mother". (7) dignitaries: this refers to the sinus god.
Jin Ryu once moved to the palace to assist imperial advisers. Because he refused to frame Muzan, an imperial minister and prime minister, and rehabilitated Muzan's unjust imprisonment, he offended Dou Shen, who framed him for other things and demoted him. (8) Death of dignitaries as their agents: Dou Shen was later demoted for committing crimes and was executed by Tang Dezong the following year.
(9) Shi: an official of Yushitai, who is responsible for picketing the bailiff and interrogating the case. (10) is honest and straightforward: Guo Ziyi once told Jin Ryu that he would join the army and work as a clerk in Jinzhou. Jinzhou was arrogant and fierce, and officials dared not argue with him. Jin Ryu had to fight with him, so he said so.
(1 1) Liu Zongyuan, a contemporary celebrity, recorded that his father had 67 friends and wrote them in the shadow of a tombstone. He also said: "Where ancestors lived and made friends, all the good people in the world gathered together."
(12) When father was arrested: when father was alive. When Liu Zongyuan was a child, his father Jin Ryu went to Jiangnan, and he and his mother stayed in Chang 'an.
At the age of twelve or thirteen, Jin Ryu followed his father to Hubei and Jiangxi to become an official. Jin Ryu died in 793 (the ninth year of Zhenyuan), and Liu Zongyuan was twenty-one years old.
Catch, then, arrive. (13) As an adult, Liu Zongyuan wrote "Watch for Cui Zhongcheng and He Huaiguang" at the age of thirteen, and Liu Yuxi prefaced the collection, saying: "Zi Hou was a teenager, and Zhen Yuan had a strange name at the beginning."
(14) Take Ginseno. : In 793 (the ninth year of Zhenyuan), Liu Zongyuan entered the Jinshi period, 2 1 year old. (15) Brilliance: sublime and outstanding.

(17) learned macro words: Liu Zongyuan learned macro words at the age of 24 in 796 (the twelfth year of Zhenyuan). In the Tang Dynasty, both Jinshi and those who entered the imperial examination could be selected on the basis of erudition and macro-speech, and they were awarded official positions after winning.

8. Ask Han Yu to translate Yangcheng from classical Chinese into Kang Zong, a native of Beiping, Dingzhou. Yangcheng is modest and respectful, simple and simple, and treats all ages equally. People from far and near admire his character, and people come to study in succession. The local people had a dispute and decided not to go to the government, but to Yangcheng. A man stole a tree in Yangcheng. Yangcheng saw him, worried that he would be ashamed, so he stepped back and hid. Yangcheng family once ran out of grain and sent servants to borrow rice. The servant traded rice for wine and drank it on the road. Yangcheng was surprised by the servant's delay, so he took his younger brother to meet him. Yangcheng carried him back before waking up on the road. When the servant woke up and deeply blamed himself and apologized, Yangcheng said, "What's so strange about drinking in cold weather?" Shandong Jiedu House heard that Yangcheng was a virtuous man, so it sent messengers to Yangcheng to give 500 fine silks and warned them not to take them back. Yangcheng resolutely refused, and the messenger left the silk and went back. Yangcheng put the silk aside and never opened it again. Just as fellow countryman Zheng Wei was going to bury his relatives, he didn't borrow money from others. Yangcheng knew this situation and gave him the silk. Dezong called him to North Korea, appointed him as the right advice doctor, and specially sent Yang Ning, a captain of Chang 'an, to his home to send him bundles of silk.
When Yangcheng was not an official, scholars admired his integrity. When he becomes an official and an admonisher, all scholars think that he will be loyal to his duties, and officials in the world are even more afraid of him. After he ascended the throne, other remonstrating officials frequently remonstrated with complicated political affairs, which made the emperor very tired, while Yangcheng invited guests to drink day and night. A friend tried to persuade him not to eat and drink all day. Yangcheng showed his psychology and tried his best to make this friend drink. When his friend refused, Yangcheng first raised a full glass of wine to pay tribute to him. When his friend has to come from time to time, he has to push a cup to him. Sometimes he gets drunk and falls on the wine table. Yangcheng sometimes gets drunk in the arms of friends first, and he doesn't hear anything his friends say. Yangcheng often pawns wooden pillows and cloth for money. People respect his virtue and compete to buy his things. Yangcheng often says to his two younger brothers, "I can estimate the cost of rice, vegetables and salt for a month first, prepare it first, and take the rest to drink, so I don't have to make up." There are no extra clothes. When his friends praised his beautiful clothes, he was very happy and gave them to others. A man named Chen Chang found that Yangcheng was paid, and he often praised the beauty of money, and he always got something every month.
When Pei Yanling framed and exiled Lu Zhi and other officials, because the emperor was very angry with Lu Zhi and others, no official dared to speak to the emperor. Yangcheng heard this and said, "I am an admonisher. I can't let the emperor kill innocent ministers." So Wang Zhongshu went to court with him, sternly reprimanded Pei Yanling's crimes, and enthusiastically defended Lu Zhi and others for many days. The emperor was furious and called the prime minister to cure Yangcheng. Shunzong was the crown prince at that time, and launched a rescue to Yangcheng. As a result, Yangcheng was exonerated. But the emperor's anger did not disappear, Pei Yanling should have become prime minister. Yangcheng threatened: "If Pei Yanling is made prime minister, I will cry in the court in white linen and ruin it. In the end, the emperor did not appoint Pei Yanling as the prime minister, which was due to Yangcheng.
Yangcheng went out of Beijing to be the secretariat of Daozhou. Dwarfs are born in Daozhou and pay tribute to the imperial court every year. Yangcheng sympathizes with them. Where will you go? You won't pay tribute. The emperor sent someone to invite him, and Yangcheng presented a memorial and wrote, "Daozhou people are short." If you want to pay tribute, I don't know which ones can be paid tribute. " From then on, no more tribute. The state's taxes were not paid on time, and the observation made many accusations. The observation office sent a judge to urge the tax. When he arrived in Daozhou, he was surprised that Yangcheng didn't come out to meet him. He asked the local officials about it. Officials said: "Yangcheng thought he was guilty and imprisoned himself in prison." The judge was surprised and ran into the prison. He met Yangcheng and said, "What's your crime? I was just ordered to pay my respects to you. " The judge stayed in Daozhou for a few days, but Yangcheng didn't dare to go back, so he lived outside the museum and stood by. When the judge sees this, don't leave quickly. Shunzong acceded to the throne and wanted to recall Yangcheng, which died at the age of seventy.
