From water, from soil, from sound. The original meaning: ettringite that can be used as a black dye) is the same as the original meaning [alunite] Nie, black soil is also in the water.
-"Shuo Wen" female bed mountain, its yin stone. -"Xishan Jing" is dyed nirvana today, and nirvana is black.
-"Huai Nan Zi Bo Zhen" is another example: Nie's (black ettringite, which can be used as dye) black mud [black mud] Pengpeng, if you don't help it, it will be straight, and the white sand is in Nie, which is black with it. -"Xunzi" ancient river name [Niehe].

2. Who can help me translate this passage at the top of ancient Chinese? Yes, it's a passage from Xunzi's "Persuasion of Learning". However, some translations are inaccurate.
The stem length of four inches can't be translated as only four inches high, but it should be about four inches long for grass (trees), because it is not accurate to be only four inches high, because ancient Chinese only talk about the stem and don't mention the branches.
White sand is in nirvana, and it is as black as it is-white sand mixed with black soil can no longer turn white.
The most classic moral of this ancient prose is the last sentence!
What's wrong is willing to discuss with you!
Finally, despise copying and pasting other people's works upstairs for 2 points!

3. Simple classical Chinese translation of the original text:
In the south, there is a bird named Meng Dui, whose nest is feathers, whose hair is woven and whose reed is tied. When the wind breaks, the egg broken child dies. The nest is endless, but so are the people connected with it. There is a kind of wood in the west called Shegan. Its stem is four inches long, and it was born on a high mountain. However, in the abyss, the wooden pole can't grow out, but it stands naturally. In the bitter fleabane bitter fleabane, I can't bear to go straight; White sand is nirvana, and it is black. Lan Huaigen is a cheese, but he grows up, and the gentleman is not close, so he refuses to accept it. Its quality is not beautiful, but it is also gradual. Therefore, a gentleman must choose his hometown when he is born, and he must be a scholar when he travels. Therefore, we must also guard against evil and righteousness.
Translation:
In the south, there is a bird called "Mongolian pigeon", which weaves its nest with feathers and ties it to tender reeds. As soon as the wind blows, it falls and all its eggs are broken. It's not that the nest is poorly woven, but that it shouldn't be tied to reeds. There is a kind of grass in the west called "Belamcanda". It is only four inches high, but it can overlook hundreds of miles away. Not because grass can grow tall, but because it grows on the top of the mountain. Pennisetum grows in hemp fields and can stand upright without support. White sand will not turn white when mixed into black soil. The root of Sophora japonica is called Ai Xiang. Once it is immersed in smelly water, gentlemen and servants will avoid it. It's not that Ai itself is not fragrant, but that it is soaked and stinks. Therefore, a gentleman should choose a good environment to live and a moral person to make friends, so as to prevent delay and protect his moderation and integrity.
Moral:
The importance of laying a good foundation. Tall buildings rise from the ground, and the foundation should be compacted.
There is a bird in the south of China. Its name is turtledove. It is made of feathers, woven with hair and hung on reeds. When the wind blows, the reeds break, the eggs break and the chicks die. The bird's nest is not imperfect, but (yes) the place where the bird's nest is hung (incorrectly) has caused this (consequence).
There is a tree called Belamcanda in the west. Its trunk is (only) four inches high. (But it) grows on a high mountain and is on the verge of an abyss. Not shoot Gao Wei, but where it grows (make it) appear Gao Wei.
Pennisetum grows in hemp bushes and will be straight without support; White sand will turn black like black dye when it is placed in black dye. The root of the orchid tree is Xiangzhi. (But) if Xiangzhi is soaked in smelly water, gentlemen (of course) will not go near it, and ordinary people (even) will not wear it. The quality of camphor tree is not bad, but the result of what it is impregnated with.
Therefore, a gentleman should choose a (good) place to live, and make friends with people of noble character, just in case.
Evil (infiltration), perfect the character of integrity.
5. Translate Cui Yao's classical Chinese motto:
No one is short and no one is long. Be careful when giving and don't forget when receiving. The reputation of the world is insufficient, and benevolence is the discipline. What's the harm in denigrating mediocrity? Don't make the name too real, and keep the holy land of fools. Nirvana is precious, and warmth contains light. The weak are born to be human, and the old commandments are strong. It is difficult to measure one's ambition when walking. Be careful what you eat and drink, and the contented will always be happy. Perseverance will last a long time.
Translation:
Don't talk about other people's shortcomings, and don't praise your own advantages.
Don't keep your kindness to others in mind; Accept the kindness of others and never forget it.
Secular reputation is not to be envied; Only "benevolence" is the fundamental law of being a man.
Before you do anything, you feel comfortable and ashamed, and then you do it. Can other people's slander slander you?
Don't be unworthy of your name, don't show off your talents, and don't show off your cleverness. This is praised by saints.
In a dirty environment, it is important not to be polluted. Talented and virtuous people are introverted and only seek inner enrichment, not superficial vanity.
The weak are suitable for survival because they are tough and not easy to be destroyed.
The strong are easy to be destroyed, and they are not as easy to survive as the weak, so take the strong as a warning.
People with shallow knowledge always want to appear strong. Only when he idles around and does not argue with others, his success is inevitable.
Be careful what you say and control your diet. A person can stop or avoid unlucky things when he knows that he is satisfied and not greedy.
If you follow this motto and persist in doing it, after a long time, talent will naturally bloom like flowers.
