White classical Chinese after Sui Dynasty

1. Hou Bai's classical Chinese is speechless with the original text: there is Hou Bai in Fujian, and people in Shanyin count. The village is afraid of monks and dare not compare. One day, I met a woman in the dark on the road and pretended to have lost something according to the well. Asking questions is futile. Black said, "Unfortunately, falling into a well is worth one hundred dollars. If you can accept it, you should be grateful for half. Does the master have no intention? " For a long time, Ji said, "that woman died in Er, but she can give it or not." Because of it. Take off the clothes next to you and put them down. When it's dark, take all your clothes away and write to them. I don't know what I drew. So, today, Fujian people called each other to sell, saying, "I'm white, I'm darker." Northern Song Dynasty-Qin Guan's Two Hou Shuo (Hai Huai Ji, Volume 25, Two Hou Shuo, Four Series)

There is a man named Hou Bai in Fujian who is good at calculating and deceiving others. People in Siliba Township hate and fear him, and no one dares to compete with him. One day, he met a woman named Hei on the road. She stood by the well, pretending as if she had lost something. Hou Bai asked her strangely. Hougang: "Unfortunately, I dropped my earring in the well, which is worth about 120 gold. If anyone can catch it, I'll thank you in half. Don't you want to do it? " Hou Bai pondered for a long time and came up with an idea. He said, "One of your women has lost her earrings. If she catches it, she must give me half, otherwise I won't give it to you. " So she promised him. Hou Bai took off his clothes by the well and went down. Houhei estimated that Houbai had arrived at the wellhead, so he took all Houhei's clothes away and didn't know where to put them. So now Fujian people call those who calculate each other and say, "I'm already like Hou Bai, and he's more like Hou Hei."

Commentary: According to this story, we can know that the folk proverb "I am white, I am darker" means: "I wanted to earn him, but I didn't expect him to." Zhao Zhou used this proverb to mean: "I wanted to investigate him, but I didn't expect to be investigated by him." Or: "I thought I was smart, but he was better than me." Obviously, "it must be called Hou Hei and Hou Bai" means "strong in China".

2. After Hou Bai translated Tai Ping Guang Ji (Volume 247) and Qi Yan Lu Wei Shiren in Sui Dynasty, when Wei Xiaowen became emperor, princes and nobles took many stone medicines, all of which were called stone hair. Those who are hot, those who are not rich, are also hot, and many people think that they are cheating for wealth. There was a man lying in front of the city gate, turned around and said it was hot, because everyone was scrambling to see it. The companion scolded it and reported, "I have a stone hair." The companion said, "When will you serve the stone? Today is Stonefur. " "I bought rice in the market yesterday. There are stones in the rice, and food is the present. " Everyone laughed. Since then, few people have said that they have stone hair.

After Emperor Xiaowen of Wei, many princes and nobles took mineral pills such as lead and mercury, claiming that they were hot after taking them. Some people claim that they are not rich after eating stone pills. At that time, many people hated these people and lied that they were rich. Once, a man was lying on the street in front of the market, tossing and turning, claiming that he had a fever after taking stone medicine, which attracted many people to watch. The partner who came with him accused him of pretending to be rich and told him, "I'm hot, too." The man asked, "When did you take the stone medicine?" The companion replied, "I bought rice in the market yesterday." There are stones in the rice. After eating, it is hot now. " The onlookers burst into laughter when they heard this. Since then, few people claim that they have a fever after taking calculus medicine.

Chinese studies in the Qing Dynasty followed the old system of Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and there was no imperial academy. Zou Bingtai invoked the old system to make a request (to establish imperial academy). In the forty-eighth year of Qianlong (1784), Emperor Gaozong set up food and wine in imperial academy, completed the ceremony of offering sacrifices to sages and teachers, and then wrote a letter to build the imperial academy.

"I told the story myself, and the emperor felt that what he said was right, and finally Hutuli was dismissed. Soon after, two officials who were demoted and dismissed opposed the post after approval because of donations. Peng Ling, assistant minister of Chu, disagreed with him, so he heard about the emperor. The emperor reprimanded Zou Bingtai for not having a definite view and demoted him to stay.

Another thief hijacked Yao Kun, the minister of war, in Baxianzhuang, Changping County. The emperor wrote that Zou Bingtai was removed from the post of prefect because the place was close to the capital area, and the officials were mediocre and inferior, which could not stop the bandits. When Lin Qingzhi's rebellion happened, the rebels lived in Gu 'an and Huangcun. Zou Bingtai was investigated when he was in office, and was demoted to Zhong Yun and Zanshan.

I will retire soon and go back to my hometown. Jiaqing twenty-five years (182 1), died.

Zou Bingtai started as a high-ranking scholar, but he didn't climb the gate of the imperial court and floated in the library. It was a long time before he became a senior official second only to Xiang Qing. He has been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for many times and has been praised as a sage.

Those close to the yamen, such as imperial academy and Yu Jian, adopted the meaning of "being an ordinary scholar" in the book and renamed it Jishi Shu. After Yongle, imperial academy enjoyed it exclusively, and was selected by scholars who were excellent in literature and good at books.

After three years, the examination will be conducted, and those with excellent results will be awarded editorial posts respectively; The rest were given to important people, advisers or state and county officials.
