Translation of Classical Chinese in The Biography of Yang Zhongshuan in the Later Han Dynasty

Yang Zhongchuan, Yang Zhongzi Zishan, a native of Shu County, Chengdu. When he was a county magistrate at the age of thirteen, the magistrate thought he was very strange and sent him to Beijing to study Spring and Autumn Annals. When he showed his Sect, he was called to Lantai and worshipped as a school book lang.

In the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (76), there was a drought and food prices were expensive. Yang finally thought that there were tens of thousands of exiles in prisons in Guangling, Chu, Huaiyang, Jinan and other places, and they were far away from the territory, and the officials and the people complained bitterly, so he said, "I heard that' good is rewarded for children and grandchildren, and evil is rewarded for evil'. ) A hundred kings are always classics, in the same way. The politics of the Qin Dynasty was cruel and contrary to the heavenly heart. One person is guilty, which implicates three families (father, mother and wife). Gaozu pacify troubled times, three chapters.

Emperor Taizong (Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty) was very kind and abolished the law of accepting corpses (that is, the participation of wives). Wan's surname is wide and natural, so it can be regenerated. Enze has reached the level of an insect, and his achievements will last forever. Your majesty is wise in virtue, and virtue belongs to the table. Today, in the case of drought, disasters and epidemics, we are very humble and have gained and lost in extensive visits. Even if it is prosperous for three generations, it is just so, and it cannot be increased any more. I should be sloppy and generous when I check the changes of floods and droughts recorded in Spring and Autumn Annals. Since Yongping came to power, there have even been prisons. Some departments have pursued each other, dragged on, captured prisoners, wronged innocent people and exiled their families. I fought against Xiongnu in the north and explored 36 countries in the west. I served for many years and spent a lot of money on the transition. Away from Yiwu, Loulan, Auto Market and Wuji, people in the border areas miss their hometown and resent it.

Biography says,' Be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared for danger in times of peace, that is, there are many people. "(that is to say, moving is the habit of ordinary people. People in the former Yin Dynasty moved to Luoyi recently, but they still complained, let alone left the fertile soil of the Central Plains and went to the barren land. In the south, damp and hot, barriers and poisons are mutual. Suffering people are enough to touch heaven and earth and change yin and yang. Your majesty, watch carefully and save the people. "On the book, Sue always handed the letter to liegeman for discussion. Sikong Fifth Lun also agrees with Yang Zhong. Qiu Morong, Situ Yu Bao, school book lang Ban Gu and others argued with Wu Lun that the immigration law has been implemented for a long time, and the dutiful son has no right to change his father's way, and the system established by the first emperor should not be changed. Finally, Yang wrote: "The Great Wall was built in the Qin Dynasty and its service is prosperous. Hu Hai didn't think about reform, and finally lost the world. So, Yuan Di, the filial son, gave up Zhu Yajun, and Emperor Guangwu cut off the country of the western regions, so as not to change the distance of China. When Duke Wen of Lu destroyed the fountain platform, Chunqiu sneered:' It is better not to live in it than to be destroyed by the ancestors, so as not to harm the people.

Xiang Gong was a member of the three armed forces (that is, three ministers), and Zhao Gong abandoned the Han army. The gentleman thinks that retro, if you don't abandon it, it will harm the people. Now the battle of Yiwu, Loulan chariot, is not an act of God. "Hearing this, the emperor walked back to those exiled people and stopped at the edge of the chariot all the way. Finally, Yang said, "After recruiting Confucianism in the county, it was decided that the Five Classics would be located in Shiqu Pavilion. At present, the world is peaceful, and scholars can complete their own careers, while those who write chapters and sentences destroy the overall situation. According to the old example of Shiqu, it should be the law of later generations. "So, the letters to the Confucian scholars have similarities and differences in their views on the White Tiger. I met Yang Zhong, Dr. Zhao Bo, Ban Gu, Jia Kui, etc. It is believed that Yang Zhong has a lot of research and unique academic opinions on Chunqiu. He asked for it, and Yang Zhong surrendered himself in a letter. Today, he was pardoned and was able to participate in the White Tiger View. Later, it was deleted to hundreds of thousands of words. At that time, Liao, the elder brother of the Queen Mother, was cautious, incorruptible and self-controlled, regardless of teaching Jinshi. Yang finally made friends with Liao and wrote to persuade Liao: "I heard that the people of Yao and Shun can get a gift like home; "valerian, zhou, can kill than home. Why? Yao and Shun are wary of this, arrogant and extravagant. In the Book of Songs, it is said that' practicing silk leads to dyeing'. (Jimo Zi said, "Those who dye in the pale are pale, and those who dye in the yellow are yellow". No matter how clever or stupid you are, you can't change it. Moderation should be changed through teaching. In the Spring and Autumn Annals, it is recorded that the Duke of Jin killed Prince Shen Sheng and directly called him the Duke of Jin, expressing disgust because he lost his religion. The Book of Rites stipulates that when Ren Jun's son is eight years old, he should be given a small fu to teach him to write and calculate in order to open his mind. At the age of fifteen, he set up a teacher to teach classics and guided him to make up his mind. With the rise of the Han Dynasty, the governors did not devote themselves to teaching and touched taboos, so there was the disaster of national subjugation and the lack of the title of Jiashan. Your position is glorious, and you have high expectations at home. Can't you stop at the edge of the cliff and walk on thin ice? Huang Menlang is young and warm-blooded. He doesn't have the demeanor of a long-term retreat, but he makes friends with frivolous and incompetent guests, indulges without teaching, which is regarded as willful and draws lessons from the past, which is chilling. The monarch should take a warning and walk on thin ice in the abyss. "Mario doesn't adopt it.

Mario returned to the fief after his son Ma Yu committed libel by hanging books. Yang Zhong's brother Yang Feng is a county official. Fan Lian, the satrap, was appraised by the state and sent Yang Feng to wait for Yang Zhong. Yang Zhong lobbied for Fan Lian and was exiled to the north. When the emperor toured the east, Phoenix and Huanglong merged, and Yang finally praised the blessings of Kerry, which showed the great cause of the ancestors. After the fifteenth chapter was finished, he excused himself and returned to his hometown. He wrote a 12 chapter, Chunqiu Zhuan, and revised the chapters and sentences to150,000 words.

In the twelfth year of Yongyuan (100), he called a doctor and died of illness.
