However, he was still undecided, so he chanted "oh" on the donkey, constantly raising his hands to make a pushing gesture.

At that time, Han Yu's official department Quan Jingzhao, the island rushed to the third quarter without realizing it. People from left and right came to Yin.

Translation of the work:

Jia Dao went to the imperial examination for the first time in the capital. (Jia Dao wrote impromptuly A poem.) One day he thought of this poem on the back of a donkey: "The bird stayed in the tree beside the pond, and the monk knocked on the door under the moon." He also wanted to use the word "push" (to replace the word "knock"), but he thought about it repeatedly. After settling down, he continued chanting on the donkey's back, stretching out his hands to push and knock. People who saw it were surprised.

Han Yu was the temporary governor of the capital at that time. While he was on a patrol with his carriages and horses, Jia Dao unknowingly walked up to the third section of Han Yu's honor guard and kept making gestures, so he was soon pushed to the capital by the attendants (Han Yu). In front of Zhaoyin.

Jia Dao answered the poem he was preparing in detail. He was not sure whether to use the word "push" or "knock". His mind left the things in front of him and he did not know whether to avoid it.

Han Yu stopped his carriage and thought for a long time, and then said to Jia Dao: "It's better to use the word 'knock'." The two then rode their donkeys and horses home side by side, and discussed together the methods of composing poems. They couldn't bear to leave each other, and they stayed together for several days. (Han Yu) and Jia Dao therefore became friends with ordinary people.

Han Yu:

Han Yu. (768-824), whose courtesy name was Tuizhi, was from Heyang (now Mengxian County, Henan Province), and the commandery was Changli (now part of Liaoning Province), so he also called himself a native of Changli, and was known as Han Changli in the world. The great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all served as court officials or local officials, but he was "orphaned at the age of three" and was raised by his brother Han Hui. Han Yu said in "Books with Fengxiang Xing Shangshu" that "he studied at the age of seven and became able to write at the age of thirteen", which may be related to Han Hui's upbringing.

One of his fathers who could write was Han Yunqing. Li Bai called him "? His articles are unparalleled in the world." Han Yu also said: "Uncle Yu was a man of great dynasty, and his literary style was unique in China and Korea." From this point of view, Han Yu was born in a family of officials, and both his uncle and brother were famous for their articles. This kind of family background was very important for his later development. The trend has a certain influence.

At the time of Han Yu, his family was already in decline, and Han Hui died early. Han Yu wandered around with his widowed sister-in-law. "Essays in Honor of Mrs. Zheng" says: "I lived in the south of the Yangtze River and was alone." When Han Yu was twenty years old , went to the capital to seek an official position, and was "too poor to survive".

Han Yu died in the fourth year of Changqing (824), at the age of fifty-seven. Han Yu's life story can be found in Volume 160 of "Old Book of Tang", Volume 176 of "New Book of Tang", "Shinto Stele" written by Huangfu Shi, and "Xingzhuang" written by Li Ao.
