Discussing the Book of Prosperity and Filial Piety with Cao Cao (Han Dynasty) Kong Rong
The years are passing by, and the seasons are flowing. The fiftieth year has suddenly arrived. The public is full, and the melt is over two. All the knowledge in the country has been scattered, but only the Shengxiaozhang of Kuaiji still exists. He is trapped in the Sun family, his wife and children are missing, he is alone, lonely and miserable. If sorrow can hurt others, this son will not live forever!
The "Spring and Autumn Biography" says: "When the princes are destroyed, Duke Huan cannot save him, and Duke Huan will be ashamed." All the talkers in the world rely on them to raise their voice, but they are not exempt from the secluded wealth, and their fate is uncertain. My ancestors should not be friends who discuss profit and loss again, and this is why Zhu Mu broke off the friendship. If publicity and sincerity can guide an envoy and add a letter close to him, then the filial piety can be achieved and the friendship can be promoted. Today's young people like to slander their predecessors, and they may ridicule the filial piety chapter. The Filial Piety Chapter should be praised by people who are famous all over the world and who are Jiu Mu. The bones of the horses in Yanjun City are not meant to ride in the road, but to use them to fight against their feet. But if Gong Kuang restores the Han Dynasty, the clan will be exterminated, and he can rectify it. The art of righteousness requires the acquisition of virtuous people. If pearls and jade come without shins, it is a good thing for others, even more so for virtuous people! King Zhao built a platform to respect Guo Wei. Although Wei was a small talent, in great situations, he was able to discover the true heart of the Lord, so he was happy Yi went from Wei, Ju Xin went from Zhao, and Zou Yan went from Qi. If Guo Wei, the envoy, hangs upside down but the king doesn't understand, and if he is in trouble and the king doesn't save him, then the soldiers will also lead Gao Xiang far away, and there will be no one who leads the Yan Road in the north. All the quotations are known to the public, and if they are mentioned again, it is because the public respects the meaning of Si. Because the expression is unknown.

On Sheng Xiaozhangshu (Eastern Han Dynasty) Kong Rong's Translation by Xiao Zhuan Kong Rong (153-208), courtesy name Wenju, was born in the state of Lu (now Qufu County, Shandong Province) in the late Han Dynasty. He successively held the posts of Prime Minister of Beihai, General Master, Shaofu, and Taizhong Official. He was an upright person, and he successively offended powerful officials such as He Jin and Dong Zhuo, and was ostracized by them. Later, he was killed because he repeatedly ridiculed Cao Cao. He was eager to learn and read extensively. He was a famous scribe in the late Han Dynasty and one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an". His prose is sharp, full of momentum and shows a distinct personality. Cao Pi said in "Dian Lun·Wen" that his article "has a superb body and spirit, surpassing others, but cannot hold the argument, and the reason is too many to express." There is "Kong Shaofu Collection".
Explanation This is a letter written by Kong Rong recommending Sheng Xiaozhang to Cao Cao in the ninth year of Jian'an (204), the ninth year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Sheng Xiaozhang, named Xian, was born in Kuaiji and was also a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty. He once served as the prefect of Wu County, but resigned due to illness and stayed home. When Sun Ce pinged Empress Wu, he was deeply jealous of the celebrities at that time, so Xiaozhang went out to avoid trouble. After Ce's death, Sun Quan continued to persecute him. Kong Rong was friendly with Xiaozhang and knew that he was in a critical situation, so he wrote this letter to rescue Cao Cao, who was serving as Sikong and Chariot and Cavalry General at the time. After Cao Cao received the letter, he immediately recruited Xiaozhang as the captain. Before the expedition came, Xiaozhang had been killed by Sun Quan. The article narrates the difficult situation that Xiaozhang found himself in, and quotes stories about the importance of virtuous people in history. It impresses the other party from the perspective of how to make friends and the importance of recruiting virtuous people. The words are sincere and have a certain appeal.
The years pass by〔1〕, and the seasons flow by. The fiftieth year has suddenly arrived. The public is full [2], and the melt is over two [3]. All the knowledge in the sea has been scattered and scattered [4], but the chapter of Shengxiao in Kuaiji still exists. He is trapped in the Sun family [5], his wife and children are missing [6], he is alone, lonely and miserable. If sorrow can hurt others, this child will not be able to live forever [7]!
The "Spring and Autumn Annals" says [8]: "If one of the princes is destroyed, Duke Huan cannot save him, and then Duke Huan will be ashamed of him." Yiyi raises his voice, but he is not immune to the secrecy [11], and his life is uncertain. He is a friend who our ancestors should not discuss profit and loss [12], and this is why Zhu Mu broke off the friendship [13]. If publicity and sincerity can guide an envoy [14], and if you add a letter close to you [15], then the filial piety can be achieved and the friendship can be promoted.
Today's young people like to slander their predecessors, and they may be able to ridicule the filial piety chapter. The Filial Piety Chapter must be famous all over the world [16] and praised by the people of Jiu Mu [17]. The bones of the horses in Yanjun City [18] are not meant to ride on the road, but to use them to fight against their feet [19]. But if Gong Kuang restores the Han Dynasty, the clan will be extinct [20], and he can rectify it [21]. The art of righteousness requires the acquisition of virtuous people. If pearls and jade come without shins, it is a good thing for others [22], not to mention the virtuous ones who have enough! King Zhao built a platform to honor Guo Wei [23]. Although Wei was a small talent, he was able to discover the Lord's sincerity in great situations [24]. Therefore, Le Yi came from the King of Wei [25], and Ju Xin came from Zhao Gu [26] , Zou Yan went from Qi to 〔27〕.
If Guo Wei, the envoy, hangs upside down but the king does not understand [28], if he is about to drown but the king does not save him, then the soldiers will also lead him far away, and there will be no one who leads the Yan Road in the north [29]. All the references [30] are known to the public [31], and if they are mentioned again, it is because the public respects Si Yi [32]. Because the expression is unknown [33].

Time cannot stay, it disappears like running water, and I will soon reach the age of fifty. . You are just one year old, but I am already over two years old. Almost all the acquaintances and acquaintances in the country were dead. Only Sheng Xiaozhang of Kuaiji was still alive. He was humiliated by the Sun family's regime in Soochow. His wife and children were all dead, leaving him alone and helpless, in a very dangerous situation and in a very painful mood. If sorrow can damage people's health, Xiaozhang may not live long.
The "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Biography" said: "There were feuding princes who annexed each other. Duke Huan of Qi did not rescue him, and he felt a shame." Sheng Xiaozhang is indeed a hero among men today. Some people who are good at talking and talking often rely on him to promote their reputation, but he himself cannot avoid being imprisoned and his life is in danger. Then Confucius should not talk about the quality of his friends. No wonder Zhu Mu wrote about him. "The Theory of Severing Diplomacy". If you can send a messenger quickly and bring a text message, you can recruit Xiaozhang, and the way of making friends can be carried forward.
Today's young people like to speak ill of their predecessors, and some may make sarcastic comments about Xiaozhang. Generally speaking, Xiaozhang is a person who is famous all over the world and praised by people all over the world. Yan Jun bought the horse's bones, not to let it gallop on the road, but to use it to attract thousands of miles of horses. I think you are saving and restoring the Han Dynasty royal family and re-settling the regime that is about to collapse. The key to stability in the world is to have talented people. Pearls and jade have no feet, but they can come to people, because some people like them. The wise men have feet, but they do not come, because the king does not seek virtuous people. King Yan Zhao built a golden platform to honor Guo Wei. Although Guo Wei was a man of low talent, he was treated favorably and was able to spread the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty. So Le Yi went from Wei, Ju Xin went from Zhao, and Zou Yan went from Qi State. If Guo Wei was in distress and crisis, and King Zhao did not help him, just like he did not rescue him when he fell into the water and was about to drown, then all the other wise men would fly away, and no one would come to Yan in the north. Some of the things mentioned above are already familiar to you, but I want to say them again just to remind you to pay attention to how to make friends. I really can't express what I mean in detail.

The king was furious and said, "The person you asked for gave birth to a horse. How can I donate five hundred gold for the death of the horse? Juan said to him, "If the horse dies and I buy it for 500 gold, how about giving birth to a horse?" The world must regard the king as the one who can market the horse, and the horse has arrived now! "So you can't predict the year, and the horse with a thousand miles will come three times." Market: Buy. 〔19〕Juezu: Juechen's feet. Refers to a thousand-mile horse that does not touch dust when running. Kong Rong quoted the story of the horse bones in Yanjun City to ask Cao Cao to incur Sheng Xiaozhang.

Those who come without feet are left to the Lord's discretion. If a scholar is not enough, it is because the Lord has no intention of being a good scholar.'" Shan (jìng Jing): lower leg. Here are the feet. [23] King Zhao: Ji Zhi, King Zhao of Yan (reigned from 311 BC to 279 BC). King Zhao of Yan was eager for wise men to avenge Qi's defeat of Yan, and asked his adviser Guo Wei to recommend them.

Guo Wei said, "Please start with me. I am respected, how much more wise men than me?" So King Zhao built a palace for him and treated him with courtesy.
