Excuse me, who has the information of Ren Guanglu, the author of Zhu Xi?

I tried to swim in the rich garden behind the capital to see what it stored. I lost myself overseas. Strange flowers and stones are everywhere, but what I can't do is bamboo. I Jiangnan people cut bamboo and pay for it. For the garden, they must also buy exotic flowers and stones from overseas, or buy a stone for 1000 yuan and a flower for 100 yuan without feeling sorry for themselves. However, there was a bamboo certificate in the meantime, so he walked away and said, "Don't take my flower stone land." And if people in the capital can make a bamboo, they will not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars; However, I met frost and snow and I died. If it is difficult to cause many manuscripts to die, then people will benefit from it; Jiangnan people even laughed and said: "People in Beijing are all paid by Baowu."

Oh! Strange flowers and rocks are valued by people in Beijing and Jiangnan. However, if you are poor where you were born, you will never be valued by overseas people. I mean, it's no different from bamboo in Jiangnan. However, those who have never been overseas or produced bamboo, however, once they see bamboo, I think it will be more valuable than people in the capital. Yes, it will be a big joke. As the saying goes, "it is cheap for people to go to the countryside, but expensive for things to go to the countryside." With this statement, the world is ugly, so why not!

My uncle Guanglu asked you to manage the garden in the west of Beijing, and all the plants were bamboo, not other trees. There is a small building among the bamboo forests. In my spare time, I sing with my guests. Then Yu added, "I can't compete with the rich and powerful for the victory of ponds, flowers and stones. I can take all the land by myself, and I can enjoy the pleasure in the garden without working." Because he claimed to be Zhu Xi's master. I remembered it for me. "

I mean, you really can't compete with the powerful, but take the owner of the land as an example; Nothing is more unique and deeper than bamboo, and you don't want to tell others? People used to talk about bamboo, thinking that it was silent and smelly. Therefore, its ingenuity is not as good as stone, its charm is not as good as flowers, and some people seem lonely and unique, and they can't be in harmony with the laity. Therefore, since ancient times, few people know good bamboo. And how do people in the capital know it's expensive? However, I will fight for wealth and exotic flowers and stones. Therefore, the expensive bamboo of Shi Jingren is not as expensive as that of Jiangnan people, which means that bamboo is unknown. You grew up in China, but you can't drown in China. Rich people are addicted to singing and dancing and reject everything. You stand up and don't make friends with others, you are awed, you are lonely, and you must be complacent in the bamboo. And having fun with everything, but not being happy? However, although bamboo is not owned by its soil, you will still do your best, and then it will beat faster than your heart. Although the monarch's power can bring exotic flowers and stones into full play, its goodness does not exist.

Ha ha! Bamboo is valuable beyond the south of the Yangtze River! I feel it again.

Translation:

I once visited the gardens of world officials and wealthy families in Beijing and saw the things gathered there. From far away to overseas, there are no exotic flowers and stones that cannot be brought, only bamboo can't be brought. We Jiangnan people chop bamboo for firewood, and we have to buy exotic flowers and stones found overseas to build gardens and pavilions. Some people spend 1000 yuan to buy a stone, while others spend 100 yuan to buy a flower. We don't hesitate. But if there is bamboo in it, it will sometimes be cut down and said, "Don't let it occupy the place where I planted flowers and put stones." But if Beijingers can find a stick of bamboo, they will often spend thousands of dollars to buy it; However, when the first frost snows, they all dry up and die. It is precisely because it is hard to find and there are many deaths that people cherish it more. Jiangnan people even laughed at them and said, "Beijingers regard what we burn as firewood as treasure."

Oh! Strange flowers and rocks are really cherished by Jiangnan people in the capital. But tracing back to their origin is valued by foreigners and overseas people, and I think it is not much different from bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River. The overseas border may be a place that never produces bamboo. If people there see bamboo once, I think they will cherish and value it more than Beijing people. I'm afraid this situation will never end. As the saying goes, "The meaner people are when they leave home, the more expensive things are when they leave home." In this way, what is the constant standard of beauty, ugliness, likes and dislikes in the world?

My uncle Ren Guanglujun built a garden on the west side of Beijing, and planted bamboo everywhere, not other flowers and trees. A small building was built between the bamboo forests, and when I was free, I sang poems and songs with the guests there. By chance, he said to me, "I can't compete with powerful people for the advantage of Chishi." I can get all the primitive things in the mountains by myself here, so I can make the garden green without labor, and it is enough to adapt myself. " So he claimed to be the master of Zhu Xi. Let my nephew describe it to me. "

I think Ren Jun really can't keep up with influential people, but he just takes what he has locally. I'm afraid I still have a special hobby for bamboo, and I don't want to tell anyone about it. In the past, some people talked about bamboo and thought it had no moving beauty and fragrance to love. Therefore, it is not as strange as a stone, as beautiful as a flower, as lonely as a proud and independent scholar, and cannot be confused with the world. Therefore, since ancient times, few people know how to cherish bamboo. So can Beijingers know and cherish bamboo? They just want to use it to compete with others for wealth, just like showing off exotic flowers and stones. Therefore, the precious bamboo of Beijingers, like that of Jiangnan people, belongs to bamboo. Ren Jun grew up in the noise, but he was not addicted to it. Clothes, horses, chariots and servants sang and danced, and everything the rich indulged in was rejected. In particular, he is upright and upright, does not associate with people at will, is noble and independent, which is exactly where Ren Jun must be complacent about bamboo. Can't you give up all the pleasant things in the world?

So although bamboo doesn't belong to the land here, Ren Jun will try his best to collect it, and then he will be happy. Although Ren Jun's financial resources enable him to look for exotic flowers and rocks as much as possible, his hobby is not here.

Alas! Bamboo could have been valuable without leaving Jiangnan, and I have a new feeling about it.

The title of this article is Ji, and the central event recorded is my uncle's gardening and planting bamboo. However, the author did not make a big fuss about Ji, but used the topic to play, and naturally revealed the main idea of the article through comparison and contrast.

The article begins to write that people in Beijing and southerners have different attitudes towards bamboo, one is expensive and the other is cheap, which is in sharp contrast. Furthermore, it describes the possible attitude of "absolutely despising outsiders in Shanghai" through reasoning, thus issuing "The world is ugly, ugly, why is it always there?" On the basis of this long foreshadowing, the article begins to point out the topic. Guanglu Renjun lives in Jiangnan, but he doesn't mean secular bamboo. Instead, he "planted bamboo everywhere" in the garden and claimed to be "the owner of the bamboo stream". Although there are only a few strokes, it depicts a character who does not conform to popular customs and is elegant in taste. The following discussion fully affirmed Ren Guanglu's character through the image of bamboo, and pointed out that the root of his understanding and love for bamboo lies in his beautiful character of "being a lonely person".
