Wang Anshi translated for Tai Fu.

Imperial edict of the Great Song Dynasty: When I look at ancient times, I will shine if I see God's will. A very important thing will happen and a rare genius will be born.

This made him famous all over the world for a while and learned for thousands of years: wisdom is enough to reach the sky, and speculation is enough to turn words into deeds; Excellent literary talent is enough to describe everything in the world with colorful brushstrokes; Outstanding behavior is enough to influence the quartet. With his ability of one year, he can change the customs of the world soon.

Wang Anshi, a contemporary senior official, studied Confucius and Mencius when he was young, followed Buddhism and Laozi in his later years, and collected the remains of the six ancient classics, namely, poetry, calligraphy, ceremony, Yi, music and the Spring and Autumn Period, to explain his meaning. Criticize the backward viewpoint of a hundred schools of thought contending and educate the people with new ideas.

The virtuous minister who made great contributions in Xining was the chief figure of the famous minister. He was deeply believed by the emperor to an unprecedented extent. Originally, when I needed to see his great achievements, I suddenly became interested in seclusion in the mountains.

Seeing wealth as a cloud, giving up high officials is like taking off your shoes. Often among fishermen and loggers, they make friends with elk safely. Being an official and returning to the mountains makes people feel generous.

When I first ascended the throne, I felt sorry for my late emperor. I have great feelings for Wang Anshi, a veteran of the Three Dynasties. He is far away in Jiangning, Jiangnan. Study his general plan of governing the country in detail, hoping to see his style with my own eyes. Unexpectedly, during my mourning for my late emperor, I heard the news of his death. Why can't I live to be a hundred years old? It makes me cry for him.

Oh, dear! People's death and life have already been arranged by heaven. Who can go against God's will? Isn't it my responsibility to give him property and posthumous title's letter? It is an honor for Confucianism to list the title of teacher in the title of minister in charge. If you have knowledge under the grave, accept this glorious task I gave you!

Su Shi's "Wang Anshi gives a teacher" in the Northern Song Dynasty, the original text is:

Hey: I look at ancient times and destiny. There will be extraordinary events and strangers in the world. When you are famous for a while, you can learn for a thousand years: wisdom is enough to reach your way, and argument is enough to do what you say; Gorgeous words are enough to decorate everything; Great trip, enough to go anywhere. The use of energy between different eras has suddenly become a common practice in the world.

An official, Wang Anshi, studied Confucius and Mencius less, and later studied Qu. Forget the legacy of six arts, break one's ambition; The trace of a hundred schools of thought contending in chaff is a newcomer. It is a promising thing for Xining, and it is the first to use it. There is no such thing as trust in ancient and modern times. If you have achieved it, you will be beautiful. Without clouds, they are like a legacy. Fight for seats repeatedly in the fishing firewood, don't crowd in the elk. The beauty of advance and retreat is impressive.

At the beginning of our imperial rule, we were very sorry. He is the oldest of the three dynasties, in the south of the Yangtze River. Look at the rules and regulations, depending on the style. The question of whether it will end is not clear. Hu is not a hundred years old and cries for it. Yu! You're dying. Who can go against the sky with your house? I'm not the one who gives you condolences and honors! Being favored as a teacher and a minister is the light of Confucianism. If you know something, just kill me.

Creative background:

In the eighth year of Yuanfeng (1085), Zongshen died of illness, and Zhezong acceded to the throne and changed to Yuanyou, using Sima Guang and Lv Gongzhu. The new laws met with fierce criticism and were abolished one by one. In April, Wang Anshi died in Jinling, and in May, Dongpo was ordered to make grass.

Su Shi and Wang Anshi have different views on how to reform politics and revitalize the Song Dynasty. Because of this, Su Shi's opposition to political reform was brutally attacked. Later, there were Sima Guang, Lv Gongzhu and Herry Liu. Zhang Daqian, who opposed the new law school, came to power again, and the new law was slightly abolished. The important figures of the new law school were regarded as "evil spirits" and were despised one after another. This article was written after Su Shi was recalled from Dengzhou to the imperial court.

Theme appreciation:

When Su Shi wrote this article, it was after being suppressed by the new party for many years, and it reached its peak when the old party was in power. He drafted this document as the old party party member. However, he did not completely deny Wang Anshi in the tone of the old party, but made a fair evaluation of Wang Anshi, showing a high degree of understanding and admiration for his career, academics and articles, which reflected Su Shi's commitment to fairness and generosity.
