③ Jilin State: the name of an ancient country on the Korean Peninsula. Attached is the reference translation of Bai Juyi, courtesy name Letian, who was born in Xiagui, Taiyuan.

When he was nearly 20 years old and before he became famous, he went to the capital to visit Gu Kuang (a celebrity at the time). Gu Kuang was from Wudi in the south. He relied on his talent and there were few poets he recommended and recognized, so he made fun of Bai Juyi and said: "Everything in Chang'an is expensive. It is very difficult to 'live' here."

When he flipped through Bai Juyi's poems and read the poem "The grass on the original plain dries up every year. The wild fire cannot burn it out, but the spring breeze blows it again", he sighed again: "Can It is not difficult to write such a poem and live in the world.

I was just kidding what I said before. "In the 16th year of Zhenyuan, Gao Ying, a member of Zhongshushe, presided over the Jinshi examination and selected talents. They all passed the exams and were appointed as School Secretary by the imperial court.

In the first year of Yuanhe, Bai Juyi wrote more than 100 Yuefu and poems, satirizing current affairs and spreading to the palace. The emperor liked him very much after reading his poems, summoned him and appointed him a Hanlin scholar, and then successively served as Zuo Shiyi.

At that time, a thief assassinated the prime minister, and there was a lot of discussion in the capital. Bai Juyi was the first to go to Emperor Shu, requesting an urgent arrest of the thieves.

The powerful and powerful people disliked him for acting beyond his duties and were very angry with him. Soon there were rumors: "Bai Juyi's mother fell into a well and died, but he wrote a "Xinjing Pian" with very exaggerated and gorgeous words. Such conduct cannot be reused."

Bai Juyi was later demoted to Jiangzhou. Sima.

At first, Bai Juyi just believed that the assassinated prime minister Wu Yuanheng should not be allowed to die on the street. In fact, he had no other ideas. However, he (unexpectedly) offended the traitors and his ambition was thwarted.

But he was able to let nature take its course, be content with the situation, and use the Buddhist theory of life and death to transcend physical pain. A long time later, he was transferred to Zhongshu Sheren to be in charge of formulating the imperial decrees.

One year, there was a riot in Hebei, and the imperial court sent troops to no avail. Bai Juyi also gave advice to the imperial court, but it was not accepted, so he asked for transfer and served as the governor of Hangzhou. After Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, he issued an edict to promote Bai Juyi to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Huichang resigned and returned home in the early years, and finally died at home. Bai Juyi was rejected many times because of his loyalty and uprightness, so he indulged in drinking and writing poems.

After being re-appointed, (because) all the people he met were young monarchs, (so) his mood in being an official suddenly dropped. He bought a house and settled in Ludaoli, and established a Jingshe with monk Ruman and others from Xiangshan.

Every day, ditches and ponds are dug, trees are planted, stone buildings are built, and the Eight Section Beach is dug. For fun, teapots, pots, and wine glasses are never left behind. Once, with my head bare and my legs spread like a dustpan, I sat cross-legged, talking about Buddhism and reciting ancient poems, which was very quiet and peaceful.

He is known as Mr. Zuiyin, and he even wrote a biography about it. Bai Juyi was very fond of Buddhism and would often not eat meat for several months. He called himself a layman in Xiangshan.

Bai Juyi's poems are mainly elegant, odes and poems, and he does not recommend difficult and difficult to understand. Every time he writes a poem, he must let his old lady at home read it first and ask her until she understands. Transcribe it. Later generations commented on Bai Juyi's poems just like the people east of Mount Laoshan talking about farming and mulberry farming. Every word is very simple.

The merchants of Jilin State sold his poems to their Prime Minister, each of which cost one hundred taels of silver. If it was a forgery, the Prime Minister of Jilin State would be able to tell it immediately. Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen had a very close relationship. Their friendship was as close as glue, and they pursued the same phonology when writing poems. People all over the world called them "Yuan Bai".

After Yuan Zhen's death, Bai Juyi was as famous as Liu Yuxi, and they were called "Liu Bai". Bai Juyi liked gods. He once made a pair of flying cloud shoes, lit incense and raised his feet, as if he were flying in the clouds and the mist was slowly coming.

When he first came to Jiujiang, he lived under Lufu Peak and built a thatched cottage to refine elixirs. This thatched cottage is still preserved today.

View There are few idle months in the field of harvesting wheat, but people are even busier in May.

The south wind blows at night, and the wheat is covered with yellow. Going to the salary field, the young man is in Nangang. The weather is full of heat and the sun is burning on his back.

He is too tired to know the heat, but it is a pity that the summer is long.

The left hand holds the earrings, and the left arm hangs the empty basket. Hearing his words, he feels sad.

The Tian family has lost all their taxes, so what merit do I have for this? I once did not work in farming.

I have a salary of 300 shi, and I feel ashamed of myself every year.

I am a charcoal seller and a charcoal seller. Burning charcoal in the southern mountains, my face is covered with dust and smoke, my temples are gray and my fingers are black.

How can I earn money from selling charcoal? .

There is a foot of snow outside the city at dawn, and the charcoal cart is rolling over the ice. It is already high and the sun is high.

Two horses are riding in the south gate of the city. Who is it? The messenger in yellow is holding the document in his hand and shouting at the oxen to lead him to the north.

A cart of charcoal weighs more than a thousand kilograms, and the official envoy will not be able to get half a piece of red yarn. One foot of silk was tied to the head of a cow and filled with charcoal.

When the lotus was newly planted in Jingzhao Prefecture, it was used as a sewage ditch to store turbid water in Weiqi Prefecture. I came to sigh and realized that it was Dongxi lotus. .

There is green mud underneath, and the fragrance is no longer intact. There is red dust on the top, and the color is not fresh. It is better to be abandoned.

The sun once stood in the stream, and the flowers and leaves were beautiful and clear. Now I have no place to go, in front of the Haggard Mansion.

On a moonlit night, I climbed up to the pavilion to escape the heat and drought. Where is the breeze hidden? The grass and trees do not waver.

What better way to escape the heat than to escape the hustle and bustle of the city? Outside the gate of Xingxingdu, there is a towering Buddhist pavilion.

It is refreshing and refreshing, and relieves heat and pain. Sitting in a pavilion with your lapels open, you feel peaceful and relaxed.

Looking back at the roadside, the grains and millet are all withered and scorched. How can one save the drought-stricken seedlings if he is alone and sincere? Stay in Zige Mountain North Village, visit Chaige Peak in the morning, and stay in Shanxia Village in the evening.

The village elder was so happy to see Yu that he opened a statue for me. Before raising the glass and drinking, a sudden attack came to the door.

There are more than ten people in purple clothes holding swords and axes. Take away the wine from my table and take away my plate of Chinese food.

The master stepped back and stood up, holding back his hands as if he were a guest. There is a strange tree in the courtyard, planted for thirty springs.

The master regretted it and cut off its roots with an axe. He is known as Caizuojia, and he is a member of Shence Army.

The master is careful not to say anything, the lieutenant is grateful. There is a stone woman beside the stone woman on Shu Road. She has no memory or inscription.

It is said that this country girl was a filial and chaste woman. On the fifteenth day, you marry a local, and on the sixteenth day you go on a journey.

The husband has been traveling for twenty years, and the wife has been alone. Her husband has parents who are old and sick and have no peace.

His wife practices the Way of Women, just like the Book of Rites. Ask about daily life in the morning and dusk, be respectful and sincere.

The medicine and bait are self-adjusting, and the food will be sweet if it is shameful. The husband's behavior never returned, and the woman's virtue turned bright.

Later generations were more sophisticated and carved stone statues of women. It's as if you are standing in a boudoir with your clothes and towels in order.

It’s like seeing an uncle’s gift, like hearing the sound of wearing a ring. As a woman, seeing this, filial piety arises.

No better than a rock on a mountain, I can only hope for my husband’s name in the sky. A nine-day banquet was held, in which the county mansion was drunk and presented to the two judges of Zhou and Yin. On the nineth day of the previous year, in Yuhang County, guests were ordered to have a banquet at Xubaitang.

I went to Dongluo on the 9th last year, and I came to Wuxiang on the 9th this year. The temples on both sides are white for a while, and the chrysanthemums in three places are the same color yellow.

Every day I know that I am getting old and sick, and I cherish the Double Ninth Festival every year. September in the south of the Yangtze River has not yet fallen, and the willows are green, the cattails are green, and the rice ears are fragrant.

The Taipei Pavilion in Gusu leans against the mist, and the Taihu Lake landscape contains clear light. It's a pity that the weather is fine during the holiday, but the public servants are quiet and the scenery is cool.

The boats and whips were used to fetch the guests, the floors were swept, the mats were swept, and the pots and cups were arranged. The Huqin clanked and his fingers plucked.

Wu Wa has beautiful eyebrows and long eyes. The music of Shengge is so thoughtful, and the golden pearl bows its head high again.

When the sun is about to set, be sure to prepare candles and candles. When the wind is getting stronger, add wine. The goblet cup turns over the lotus leaves, and the dancing servant girl falls into the dogwood room.

Half drunk, I stood up from the threshold and looked around. I saw seven weirs, eight gates and sixty squares. There are high and low temples far and near, and the east, west and south bridges face each other.

The water channels are divided into rows and rows, and the chess and chess are spread out all over the city. There are no gaps in the color of the people and trees, and there is a vast expanse of green for ten miles.

Ask yourself what your talents and politics are, and the high hall and grand hall are at the center. The bronze fish is now the Zeguo Festival, and the governor is the king of Wudu in ancient times.

There are no soldiers and horses in the suburbs, and there is nothing in the county. There are halberds and seals on the waist at the door. I feel ashamed when I was in my prime, and I feel sad when my prime years suddenly pass away.

It is not okay to engage in sobering up and return to the right place, and it does not hurt to make you drunk. Please stop your cup and listen to my words. These words are true and not crazy.

It’s not too late to die after fifty years, and it’s normal to have passed seventy years. It should be noted that there will be no more than twenty Jujiu Climbing Meetings from now on.

In the spring of the sixth year, I presented it to the Dukes of the Eastern Capital of the branch: I am the shepherd of Tongzhou, and I feel ashamed that I have no talent. I have had many blessings and many blessings.

Occasionally, it is the year when the valley is low, and it is a day of peace for the people. The prisons in counties and counties are empty, and thieves are running around in the countryside.

Among them, the most fortunate ones are those who have different ranks among the pilgrims. I met the group of egrets and sat in the orchid room.

When the couplet pays homage to the rider, he occasionally writes poems. Walking around with a candle in the snow at night, the spring breeze brings out the cantaloupe.

Hua Jiaoying checks, Liu Fufeng compares. French wine is light and clear, containing peach red fruits.

Luo Tong tunes gold pipes, and Lu Nu is elegant and graceful. Dai's beautiful song is deep in thought, her waist is dancing and she is dancing closely.

Every time they are drunk and happy, they consciously forget their illness. Then I realized that the thing behind the elbow is not as good as the thing in the cup.

Life passes with time, and when will things end? I am bitter, obedient and careless, and I hope you will lead me.

A little white horse has been riding for a long time. It was envoyed to go eastward to Choosangyi. Suddenly it suddenly became able to gallop again, and the white horse was graceful. The hair is as cold as a ball of snow, and the mane is thin with thousands of strands.

The soap cover is in the spring, and the Liju is dawning. He walks alone in front of the double flags, and rides sideways within the five horses.

Fragrant grass supports hoof leaves, and weeping poplars brush the top branches. The general will welcome the hospitality, but he will not change the enchantress.

I slowly visited Xiao Temple and drank in the pool while I was intoxicated. When you sleep, you can dream, and when you are happy, you can write poems.

The whip is difficult to tame, but the edge of the saddle is stable and will not leave. When the emperor returned from the north, he was followed by the envoy from the east.

How has the white ocher changed? How can I know the black and yellow? The hissing wind sounds urgent, and the monster walking on the snow is slow.

Last night it was still a piece of grass, but today it is still a piece of grass. *** Unable to afford it, the customer resigned.

The dust wipes out the traces of the stars, but the frost leaves the bright appearance. The shape of the pass has not changed, and it is difficult to trace the shadow after passing through the gap.

I read Yan twice to seek Jun, and my love is deep for Zhui. Silver collects the hook and belt, and gold removes the tie on the head.

Where to bury the strange bones, who is looking for cheating curtains. Outside the door of Chou Sang Posthouse, people were crying with tears hanging down their faces. 3. "Poems Composed by Bai Juyi" in classical Chinese

These should come from Bai Juyi's "Nine Books of the Yuan Dynasty".

Many: adjective describing a large quantity.

Grant: appoint; be appointed.

Predicate: say.

Domain: a certain area, which can be translated as "level" here.

Noir: adverb, just.

(Servant) The family is poor and has many problems, so twenty-seven people are from the countryside. After that, although he specialized in scientific examinations, he did not give up poetry. By the time he was awarded the title of Shulang, there were already three to four hundred poems. Or it may be shown that making friends is like a junior, and everyone calls it work, but in fact, it has not penetrated the author's domain. Since he ascended the throne, he has grown older and read more and more things. Every time I talk to people, I always ask about current affairs; every time I read history, I always ask for truth. I realized that articles were written to suit the time, and songs and poems were written to suit the occasion. At that time, when the emperor first came to the throne, there was a gentleman in the prime minister's office. He repeatedly sent letters and letters to people who were suffering from sudden illness.

On this day, I was promoted to the Imperial Academy and was an admonishment officer. I asked for remonstrance papers every month. During the start of the performance, there are those who can relieve people's illnesses and help mend the time gap, but it is difficult to describe them, so they often sing about them, hoping to learn more about them. The top one is Guang Chen, who listens, and the second one is worried about diligence; the second one is rewards and rewards, and the bottom one is to restore my life's ambition. How can it be that regret has already occurred before the ambition is achieved, and slander has already been accomplished before the words are heard!

This passage can be translated as:

(My) family is poor and has many changes, and I did not take the Jinshi examination until I was twenty-seven. After passing the exam, although he concentrated on the imperial examination, he still did not stop writing poetry. By the time he became a school clerk, he had written three to four hundred poems. Sometimes I show it to friends like Shishita. Everyone said that the writing was skillful upon seeing it, but in fact I am not at the level of a poet author. Since I became an official in the imperial court, I have grown older and experienced more and more things. Whenever I talk to people, I ask more about current affairs. Whenever I read history, I explore more about the principles of governing the country. Only then did I know that articles should be written for current events and poems should be created for reality. At this time, the emperor had just succeeded to the throne, and there were upright people among the government who issued edicts many times to investigate the people's sufferings.

It was at this time that I was promoted to a Hanlin bachelor and an official of Zuo Shiyi. I personally received the paper for writing remonstrances. In addition to writing memorials to state my opinions directly to the emperor, I could also relieve the sufferings of the people. , to make up for the shortcomings of current affairs, and matters that were difficult to explain directly, they were written into poems and slowly let the emperor know. First of all, it was used to broaden the emperor's knowledge and help him consider and handle national affairs. The second is to repay the emperor's kindness and rewards and fulfill the duties of an admonishment officer. Finally, it is to realize one's lifelong wish to revitalize poetry. Who would have thought that regret has already arisen when wishes have not been realized, poems have not been heard, and slander has already been formed. 4. Translation of "Biography of Bai Juyi" in classical Chinese

"Biography of Bai Juyi" Bai Juyi was extremely intelligent and ambitious at a young age.

In the 15th or 16th year of the 19th year of the Qing Dynasty, Xiuwen was compiled and submitted to the author Gu Kuang from Wu. A person who is capable of writing, but has a superficial nature and is a laggard in writing without meaning.

After reading Ju Yi's writings, he was greeted with a courtesy and said: "I said that he is so elegant and elegant that he has regained my son." Ju Yi's writing is rich and colorful, and he is especially good at poetry.

He wrote hundreds of songs and poems, all of which were intended to be satires, admonishing the ills of the times and making up for the shortcomings of the government. There were many scholars and gentlemen, but they were often banned from public opinion. Emperor Zhangwu accepted advice and thought, and was eager to hear slanderous words. In November of the second year (Yuanhe), he was called into the Imperial Academy as a bachelor.

In May of the third year, I worshiped Zuo Shiyi. Ju Yi thought that he met a master of good literature, and he was not promoted one by one. He wanted to use what he had saved in his life to repay his kindness.

Juyi and Yuan Zhen of Henan had a good relationship, and Zhen was relegated to Jiangling Shi Cao. Li Jiang and Cui Qun, both Hanlin scholars, came forward to discuss Zhen's innocence. Ju Yi was tired and sparse, but he did not repay his admonitions.

In order to increase the affairs of Hedong King E Pingzhang, Juyi admonished him and said: "The Prime Minister is an assistant minister of His Majesty. He cannot hold this position unless he is a virtuous person.

Executing people's wealth and expropriating it in order to market favors should not cause people from all over the world to claim that your majesty is the king, and to serve as prime minister. This will be of no benefit to the holy dynasty. "

That's all. Lieutenant Shence ordered Tutu Chengcui to recruit envoys, and admonished the officials in the first chapter of the 17th or 18th century. Juyi discussed it with his words, and his words were sincere.

After that, he asked to stop using troops in Hebei. He had thousands of words that were difficult for people to say, but the superior listened to them. However, he was not happy with the advice. He said to Li Jiang: "I promoted you, Bai Juyi." It is hard for me to achieve fame and position but it is not beneficial to me. "

Jiang Jiang said to him: "The reason why Juyi does not avoid the punishment of death and must speak out no matter how big or small the matter is, is that your majesty will give you a pricking ear, not for speaking lightly. Your Majesty wants to open a path of remonstrance and criticism, so it is not appropriate to block Ju Yiyan. "

It said: "That's what you said. "So he heard a lot and listened to it.

("Old Book of Tang·Biography 116") Bai Juyi has been smart and broad-minded since he was a child. When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he brought a He wrote his own articles and recommended himself to Gu Kuang, a native of Langwu.

Gu Kuang was good at writing, but he had an impetuous temper and looked down on others. After reading Bai Juyi's articles, Gu Kuang was moved. Kuang couldn't help but invite Bai Juyi to his door and met him in a friendly way, saying: "I thought that scholars had become extinct, but I didn't expect to meet you. ”

Bai Juyi’s diction was rich and beautiful, and he was especially good at writing poems. The hundreds of poems he wrote all contain satirical meanings, criticizing the shortcomings of current customs and remedying the shortcomings of political affairs. Therefore, he is a scholar and has high moral character. People all over the country admired him, and (these poems) were often circulated to the palace.

Emperor Zhang Wu was eager to hear honest opinions, so in November of the second year of Yuanhe, he called for conscription. Bai Juyi went to Hanlin to become a bachelor. In May of the third year, he was awarded the official position of Zuo Shiyi.

Bai Juyi thought that he had met a monarch who loved literature and wanted to use the knowledge he had learned in his life to improve himself. , reported the monarch's kindness. Bai Juyi made good friends with Yuan Zhen of Henan, and Yuan Zhen was demoted from the supervisory censor to Cao Yu, a scholar in Jiangling Prefecture.

Hanlin scholars Li Jiang and Cui Qun spoke about Yuan in front of the emperor. Zhen was found not guilty, and Bai Juyi also sent many memorials to earnestly advise him. After the memorial was submitted, there was no response. The emperor wanted to appoint Wang E, a native of Hedong, as prime minister. Bai Juyi advised him: "The prime minister is the emperor's assistant minister, and he is not a virtuous person." Take on this role.

Wang E forces others to provide goods and collects people's money in order to seek favors. You cannot let the world think that you have obtained Wang E's favor and gave him the position of prime minister. ) is very harmful to the Hajj. "(The Emperor) then canceled (the idea of ??making Wang E the prime minister).

The Emperor ordered Lieutenant Shence Tutu Chengcui to serve as the envoy, and the admonishment officer Zhongshang memorial (prevented this matter) Seventy-eight out of ten people, Bai Juyi also discussed (his views) with the emperor in person, and his words were very passionate. Soon, he requested to stop the use of troops in Hebei. The (memorial) was thousands of words long, many of which were not spoken by others. Those who were willing to speak out, (the emperor) listened to many of them.

Only the advice was not to appoint Cheng Cui, because the words were too intense, and the emperor was very unhappy, and said to Li Jiang: "This boy Bai Juyi was promoted by me and became famous, but he was so presumptuous towards me, I really couldn't help it. Li Jiang replied: "The reason why Bai Juyi risked the death penalty and spoke out to remonstrate no matter how big or small, was probably because he wanted to repay your promotion (favor). He definitely did not give remonstrance lightly."

If Your Majesty wants to open up the avenues for remonstrance, it is not appropriate to prevent Bai Juyi from admonishing him. The emperor said: "You are right." ”

From then on, many of (Bai Juyi’s advices) were listened to and adopted by the emperor. 5. Ancient Chinese translation of "Bi Juyi's Biography"

Translation:

Bai Juyi's courtesy name is Lotte. , a native of Xiagui, Taiyuan. When he was nearly 20 years old and before he became famous, he went to the capital to visit Gu Kuang (a celebrity at the time). Gu Kuang was a native of Wu in the south. He relied on his talent and was rarely seen. Recommending recognized poets, he made fun of Bai Juyi and said: "Everything in Chang'an City is expensive, and it is very difficult to 'live' here. "

When I read Bai Juyi's poems, I read "The grass grows in Liliyuan, withering and growing every year." When he wrote the poem "The wild fire cannot burn out, but the spring breeze blows and revives", he said with emotion: "If you can write such a poem, it is not difficult to live in the world." What I said before was a joke.

"In the sixteenth year of Zhenyuan, Gao Ying, a member of Zhongshushe, presided over the Jinshi examination and selected talents. Bai Juyi passed all the examinations and was appointed as the school secretary by the court.

In the first year of Yuanhe, Bai Juyi wrote Yuefu and More than 100 poems satirizing current affairs were circulated in the palace.

There was a lot of discussion in the capital. Bai Juyi was the first to go to Emperor Shu, requesting an urgent arrest of the thief.

The powerful people were disgusted with him and were very angry with him: "Bai Juyi's mother fell into a trap." After his death, he wrote the "Arai Pian". The words and sentences are very exaggerated and gorgeous, and such conduct cannot be reused. " Later, Bai Juyi was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima.

At first, Bai Juyi just thought that the assassinated prime minister Wu Yuanheng should not be allowed to die on the street. In fact, he had no other ideas. (Unexpectedly, he offended the traitors, so he His ambitions were frustrated. But he was able to let nature take its course and transcend physical pain through the Buddhist theory of life and death. After a long period of time, he was transferred to Zhongshu Sheren to be in charge of formulating the government's decrees.

In 2000, a riot broke out in Hebei, and the imperial court sent troops to no avail. Bai Juyi also made suggestions to the imperial court, but they were not accepted, so he asked for external transfer and served as the governor of Hangzhou. After Tang Wenzong came to the throne, he issued an imperial edict to promote Bai Juyi to the post of Minister of Justice. He resigned and returned home in the early years of Huichang. , and finally died at home.

Original text:

Juyi was born in Xiagui, Taiyuan. He was not well-known and visited Gu Kuang. , Relying on the recommendation of the young man, he said jokingly: "Everything in Chang'an is expensive, and it is not easy to live there. "After reading the poem volume, I came to "The grass on the Lili plain grows wither and wither every year." The wild fire cannot be burned out, but the spring breeze blows and rekindles it." Nai sighed and said: "There is a saying like this, it is not difficult to live in the world.

I have a preface to the drama. "In the 16th year of Zhenyuan, all the Jinshi and Distinguished Scholars passed, and he was appointed as a supplementary school scholar. In the first year of Yuanhe, he wrote more than 100 Yuefu and poems. He satirized current affairs and was banned from being circulated. He was highly praised and summoned to pay homage to Hanlin scholars. Li Zuo picked up the relics. At that time, the prime minister was being robbed and the capital was in a turmoil. The powerful officials were angry because they suspected that he was out of office.

He was in chaos in Heshuo, and his troops were in vain. He was established and transferred to the Ministry of Justice. He became an official in Huichang and died.
