The Enlightenment of Anemarrhena and Fritillaria in Classical Chinese

1. Vernacular translation of the classical Chinese text "No credit after death, rich people are born, Zhimu Fritillaria"

A man from Zhimu Fritillaria has just opened a drugstore, and he has not yet opened a pharmacy. There was still time to hire a store clerk who knew medicine.

One day, this man had to leave for something, so he asked his son Wang Jun to stay in the store. After a while, a customer hurried in and asked: "Man, do you have Achyranthes bidentata and Chicken Feet Coptis (Chinese medicine name)?" Wang Jun said hurriedly: "Can you come tomorrow?" "Come tomorrow?" No, the patient can't wait! Don't you have this kind of medicine in your store?" Wang Jun didn't want to admit that he didn't understand Chinese medicine. After thinking about it, he felt that the name of the medicine was quite familiar - Achyranthes bidentata and chicken feet and coptis. " Oh, by the way!" Wang Jun remembered that his father often said that some animal bones and fur can be used as medicine, so "Achyranthes bidentata and chicken feet and coptis" may be cow kneecaps and chicken claws.

So he said to the customer: "Please wait a moment, I will go to the backyard to get the medicine." Wang Jun came to the backyard and took out his cattle from the peng without saying a word. , he cut off one of the cow's legs, and then removed the cow's kneecap; Wang Jun also grabbed two chickens from the chicken coop, killed the chickens, and cut off their feet.

Then, he packed these two things into a package and returned to the front hall shop. The customer has been waiting in the shop for a long time and is already a little impatient.

Seeing Wang Jun coming, he asked: "Boy, have you found the medicine?" "I found it, I found it." Wang Jun handed over the cow kneecap and chicken feet. The customer had never seen this kind of medicine before. When he took the "Ox Knee and Chicken Feet Coptis Lian" handed over by Wang Jun, he felt a little strange. The medicine looked more like a meal with wine and food.

However, saving people is more important, and the customer cannot imagine that this "drug shop guy" knows nothing, so he just took the "medicine" and left. In the evening, the father came home and asked his son what medicines he had sold.

After listening to Wang Jun’s story about selling medicine, he burst into laughter. He sighed: "If a customer wants Anemarrhena or Fritillaria (Chinese medicine name), wouldn't you even have to carry your mother out?" A rich man was worried when a vegetable farmer failed to plant eggplants every year, so he Ask an old vegetable farmer for advice.

The old vegetable farmer said: "If you bury a copper coin next to each eggplant seedling, you will live." The vegetable farmer asked why, and the old vegetable farmer replied: "Haven't you heard that the rich live and the poor die? ” There was a country man who was very stingy, but he became rich because of his stinginess.

Later, when he was about to die, he begged his wife bitterly: "I have been greedy and stingy all my life and cut off all relatives. Now I am rich. After I die, I can skin my skin and sell it to a cobbler, and cut my meat and sell it to a butcher." Scrape the bones and sell them to the paint shop.

Introduction

Wang Ziqi taught Zhao Xiang the master Xueyu, and specifically pointed out: “The most valuable thing about driving is that the horse’s body is at ease with the chariot, and the people’s hearts are attuned to the horse, and then they can pursue the speed and reach great distances. "In fact, this is true for everything we do. We must concentrate on it and have a clear goal.

Edit this paragraph for meaning:

King Zhao Xiang and Wang Ziqi raced horses. In the three competitions, they failed. Beyond the age of a prince. King Zhao Xiang is certainly worthy of praise for his ability to outdo his masters, but he still needs the guidance of his teacher, careful study, and hard work before he can do it. Wang and Wang Zi had been studying driving for a short period of time, so they asked to compete with the teacher. Regardless of their mastery of skills, they were still confused about the basics of driving. This kind of eagerness to win and achieve success was not advisable. . Only when the water is there can things be done. If the water is not there, it is extremely difficult to ask for things to work. And this also tells us that we should concentrate on doing things.

Moreover, why couldn't King Zhao Xiang defeat Wang Ziqi several times? It is because he only wants to race the prince, and does not focus on the coordination with the horse at all. He is eager for quick success. It also tells us that we must concentrate on the competition during the competition and cannot only care about the opponent. This will make it easier to fail and also It reflects that you need to have a sense of normalcy during the game and do what you do well, so you won't have much failure or regret. You must master the key points when doing things, and do not lose the main goal due to other factors. 4. The Enlightenment of Chen Jian in Song Dynasty about Evil Horses in Classical Chinese
