Book Ishikawa Volume Classical Chinese Reading

1. The original text and translation of the Shu Ishikawa volume

Translation:

The knowledge of the pre-Confucian scholars may be profound or shallow, so it is impossible for their opinions to be different. Later scholars should reflect in their hearts. They don't have to be the same as the previous Confucians, nor do they have to be original. The key is to seek a correct understanding. If scholars today have different opinions on pre-Confucianism, they might as well think deeply about it. After thinking about it, there are differences in the end. Of course there is no harm in it, but we should not denigrate the pre-Confucian teachings because of this. It would be a big mistake to do so. People in the same profession often have this problem, so I specially mention it here. Mr. Cheng said: "Learn from wise men what they are right about, and don't necessarily judge what they are wrong about." This is the most worthy warning for later scholars. If you see the merits of a wise man, you should learn from them; if you see the merits of a wise man, you should reflect on yourself. In this way, you will not criticize others harshly, but be strict with yourself.

Being competitive when discussing is also a serious problem among today’s scholars. Today's scholars are like peering into the sky from a tube. They see very little, so they feel satisfied and self-righteous, and they are proud of it. When discussing with others, before others have finished speaking, they already have thoughts of contempt and ridicule. They look complacent and reject others thousands of miles away. I don't know that the wise people watching from the side sighed and felt ashamed for him, but he himself didn't notice it at all and had no self-reflection at all. This is really sad! Recently, people of the same generation often show this problem. When meeting each other, you can also talk about this situation to warn and encourage them.

Although I have some insights into Tao, I dare not think that what I know is correct; although I sometimes have different opinions on the knowledge of later Confucian scholars, I dare not judge others. All wrong. When friends come to communicate and discuss things, they all appreciate each other, so how dare you say everything without knowing it! I am looking forward to understanding (each other’s viewpoints) with my heart. I definitely hope to gain something and personally find out who is right and wrong with different viewpoints. Only in this way will it benefit my way. If I just listen casually and have no intention of telling the truth, and promote each other's respective schools, and use this as the way of learning, that is not my original intention. This is a big mistake. Recently I have heard that there are people like this among fellow Taoists. You must repent and change your ways, so as not to fall short of the Tao! Confucius said: "Search silently for understanding, keep learning and never be satisfied." This is exactly what we deeply expect from people of our generation.

The translation of "Stealing Spring" is for reference:

One year, there was a severe drought, and Bianyi suffered from famine. There was no harvest, and the people were starving. The bark was peeled off and eaten up, but the government still asked for money and food. The government forced the people to rebel. A farmer named Liu Xiazi led a large group of people to Qinglong Mountain in the north of Bian City, where he occupied the mountain and became the king of the rebellion. They are so numerous that even the government can't do anything about it. While he was worrying, Confucius and his disciples came. Doctor Bian Yi talked about this matter. Confucius asked: "Why do the people want to rebel?" Confucius said: "Why do you collect so much money and food?" The doctor said: "I don't have enough money to spend, so how can I collect less? Anyway, it won't work without force!" Confucius said: "Is this still necessary to kill people? I'll call them down the mountain."

Confucius took only one disciple, Gao Chai, to the foot of Qinglong Mountain. Liu Xiazi, who was on the mountain, heard that Confucius' master and disciple were coming, so he sent someone to invite him up the mountain. Confucius said: "As long as you submit to the government, I will go to the mountain immediately. As long as you are still a thief, I will not go to the mountain." How could Liu Xiazi submit? We talked for a long time and couldn't reach an agreement. It was very hot at that time, and both Confucius and Gao Chai were very thirsty. Liu Xiazi asked someone to bring a bowl of water to his master and his disciple. Gao Chai was about to drink, but Confucius loudly stopped him and said, "You cannot drink this spring water!" Liu Xiazi was very surprised and said, "Master, this is the clear spring water on the mountain. Drinking it has only benefits and no harm. Why don't you drink it?" Confucius said: "The mountain is stolen, and the mountain is stolen! The spring of the mountain is stolen, and the spring is stolen! A gentleman will not drink the water of the stolen spring!" 4.

Huang Bosi wrote two volumes of "Yu Lun of Dongguan"

Huang Bosi is knowledgeable, starting from the "Six Classics" and historical books of the past dynasties, The various schools of thought, the geography of Heavenly Officials, and the theories of law, calendar, and divination are all masterful. Bo Si was fond of ancient Chinese calligraphy, and he recognized Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han Yi utensils from Luo Xia Gongqing's family. He studied calligraphy and painting systems, and was able to distinguish right from wrong and know the root and cause of the calligraphy. Therefore, he discussed all calligraphy books by famous ancient writers. He is good at seal script, Li script, Zheng script, Xing script, Zhang script, Cao script and Fei Bai script, all of which are exquisite. He is also good at poetry and painting. At the beginning of the Zeng Dynasty, Chunhua Zhongbo searched for ancient Dharma books and ordered the king to write a continuation of the Dharma treatise. Bosi was sick and his docility was complicated. He is the author of 2 volumes of "Errors in Fa Tie Publications", which corrected many errors in "Chunhua Pavilion Tie". He also wrote "Dongguan Yulun", 11 volumes of "Bo Gu Tu Shuo" and 50 volumes of "Collected Works", which have been lost. The modular furniture atlas "Yan Ji Tu" was also written by Huang Bosi.

Huang Bosi, whose courtesy name is Changrui, his distant ancestor migrated to Fujian from Gushi, Guangzhou, and was a native of Shaowu. Ancestor Lu, bachelor of Zizheng Palace. The father responded to his request and appointed the Secretary of Raozhou.

Bosi was weak, like a man wearing clothes, his charm was flowing, and he was floating like a soaring cloud. He has been alert since he was a child and is difficult to deal with. He recites more than a thousand words a day. Whenever I listen to Lu's lectures on classics and history, I will retreat and talk to his son, without making any mistakes. I dreamed that peacocks gathered in the courtyard, and when I woke up, I wrote poems with beautiful words. To fulfill his duties, he pretended to be a servant. As soon as he was crowned, he entered Taixue, where he frequently took the lead in school arts. Lu will increase his rank by playing examples of kindness, Bosi will solidify his words, and Lu will make him more curious. In the third year of Yuanfu, he became a Jinshi and was transferred to Cizhou Judicial Service to join the army. After not serving for a long time, he was transferred to Tongzhou Sihu. Ding was in trouble, so he obeyed and excepted Cao, a householder in Henan Province, to join the army, and managed the drama without any effort. When the rank was full, Deng Xunwu stayed behind to inform the right army to inspect the hospital.

Bosi was fond of ancient Chinese characters and was familiar with the Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasty Yi vessels of the Luoxia Gongqing family. He studied calligraphy and painting systems and was able to distinguish right from wrong and know the origin and origin of the characters. All discussed. At the beginning, Chun Hua Zhong searched for ancient Dharma books and ordered the king to write a continuation of the Dharma treatises. Bosi was sick and had many miscellaneous works. The seal script, Li script, Zheng script, Xing script, Cao script, Zhang Cao script and Fei Bai script are all extremely wonderful, and those who get the ruler seal script often hide them.

In another two years, in addition to being the editor of the "Nine Regions Illustrations" and reviewing the text of the "Liu Dian", the rank of the capital was changed. I am looking for the envoy to oversee the mausoleum of Queen Mother Chongen and be in charge of memorials. With his kindness in writing books, he was promoted to the imperial rank and promoted to Secretary and Provincial School Secretary. Not long after, he moved to Secretary Lang. Looking through the collection of books in Cefu, even if you forget to sleep or eat, you can find all the profound knowledge from the "Six Classics" and the history books of the past dynasties, the hundreds of schools of thought, the geography of Tianguan, and the laws, calendars and divination. When the imperial edicts were issued to explain the ancient laws and cultural relics of the Ming Dynasty, to collect ancient artifacts to verify authenticity and counterfeits, they were mostly based on plain learning and hearing, and they mostly discussed inventions, which the public officials thought they were inferior to. If you fail to take the exam again, you will be in difficulty, and you will suffer from poverty, especially due to mourning. After serving, he returned to his old position.

Bosi was very fond of Taoism, and he called himself Yunlinzi, also nicknamed Xiaobin. When he arrived in Beijing, the dreamer told him: "I will not be here for a long time, and God has ordered Si Wenhan to be a canon." When he realized it, he wrote it.
