representative work

In the preface to the praise of the famous ministers of the Three Kingdoms, Yan Cong said that in the past, Confucius used poems and books to be the method of later kings. He called it "Ode to Yin" and said: "Heaven orders birds to come down and produce business." "Book" said: "the workers of the day to replace it." However, the sages are appointed, the sages are appointed, the dragons are soaring, the wind is flowing and the clouds are steaming, and the pursuit is subtle. The way is not only salty, but also depends on the heaven. Therefore, if the husband is ordered by heaven, he should not indulge; if he is acting for heaven, he should not be selfish. The former sage knew this, so he could see the four eyes, reach the four intelligences, live high and listen to the music, live in seclusion and enjoy the scenery, so that the group would use it, and all the merits would be wide. Then heaven should be blessed, and the Supreme Harmony would be achieved. Although the three lights were shining, the five games were in the Zhou Dynasty, the guitu was opened and the Yirang was prosperous, the Xiading was moved and the GE was used: the virtue and industry were closely linked, and the tunyi was different. However, in order to promote the name and expand the world, why should we not be virtuous and be rational, or lose virtuous and be dangerous? Therefore, the five sages and the Xuan wind is blazing, the three benevolence goes away and Yin Tao declines, Huaiyin comes and Han family prospers, and Yafu dies and Chu king dies. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the elephant has been reduced to barbarians. Those who are in the extreme will not be respected by the vertical arch, while those who are in the position of salary will be invited in by the right; those who are in the mirror will not be virtuous by virtue of emptiness, and those who have reached the talent will be suspicious of cold Jun. therefore, Hong Gang is strong but WanMu is decadent, Dali is weak but honest, Zhenliang is willing to retreat but not advance, and the sages are willing to dive deep. Therefore, Boyi lamented for it, Qili for Gao Dun, Jin for the sake of avoiding its suffering, Chu for the sake of the whole body: it is not evil to be rich and noble, but to be able to do something. In the Ming Dynasty, the king of the Ming Dynasty wanted to be a scholar, and the gentleman had virtue to wait for the right time. However, he felt deeply that he wanted to be a scholar, and the distinction between the king and the minister was still fresh? It is difficult to reach the classics, but it lacks the wisdom of Bao Zi and Xiao He. If you untie yourself as a prime minister, you will find it in ancient and modern times. If you ascend the altar to receive nobility, you will find it difficult for the sages to sigh: Han Gao was suspicious, and Qi Huan was blessed. If you know Guan Zhong's talent, without Bao Shujie, you will not accept Huan Gong; if you know Han Xin's strategy, without Xiao He's help, you will not accept Han Gao. Qi Huan and Han Gao are not easily worth it. How can Xiao Gong and Bao Zi get it? If a man does not meet a good example, the night light is not a treasure; if he meets a philosopher, he will be promoted to the court. In addition to giving and receiving, the emperor of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Wei Wenzhen, the great sage of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, put down the Ming Dynasty and promoted it to the emperor of Kuang. In the generation of the most reasonable, a gentleman does not take the king as his own, let alone his relatives? Therefore, in Zhenguan, the sages were in the court, and each worshipped the highest public. Ma and Zhou pulled up Longmu with fantastic ideas. Li Jing made great contributions and eventually used it. Wei Zhengshu directly remonstrated and youyou accepted that it was the talent of our dynasty that made it beautiful. He was the leader of the Three Kingdoms, who was in the period of barbarism at the beginning, who was late in his practice of the mausoleum, who was gradually without a foot in the earth, and whose virtue was to fight for it; his officials were not divided into two groups, but made contributions to steal it. However, it belongs to the period of decline and disorder, the festival of solidifying the virtue and benevolence, the meeting of the wind and dust, and the plan of playing games: those who use their energy to serve their own masters and win over Jue Xun should not be falsely accused. If the Qing Shu Shen Yi had the virtue of Yan, the ability of learning from the cave, the diligence of the whole life, the loyalty of the royal family and the hope of recovery. However, when the fate of heaven changes, people's hearts are different. Gu Hui prepares things for Mo, but he resists extraordinary tin. Although he wants to use virtue, he will kill himself to be benevolent. Is benevolence and righteousness permanent? I don't care. That's why Bi Zhan lived after Yin Dynasty, and the trace of neutrinos was in Zhou state: Although the two beauties had the same fate, the three benevolences were the same. Huan turned over the evil scenes, and he was good at thinking about Gaoxiong's life. The reason is that the sun of mulberry and elm can not be stopped by Luyang, and the festival of goudu can not be praised by nuns? It's the reason of the whole life to take the high trace of Guan Zhong and climb the reverie of Wei Wu! Cui Zi's practice of cultivating green pines is that if his words are correct, he will lose face. He donates his life for righteousness and praises his beauty for thousands of years. Although he is slandered, he has no ambition. If the destiny is not changed, people will think of the old, and things will be tired of the old. It is because of the ceremony of Sili that we can see that we are sad for the old people in Han Dynasty. The traces of the former king spread far away in Wenyu. Kongming worked in Nanyang and waited for the master. He raised money and gave advice, and knew the shape of confrontation. When all the soldiers were in the army, they had the hope of sweeping the country. He and his military curtain, holding the state's military position, being open-minded, fair, rewarding without losing morality, punishing without abusing punishment, can't be ignored even though it's inherited from ancient times. In the past, Guan Zhong used to use it, but Bo had no complaint; Zi lamb punished people, and finally saw Virtue: Kong Mingzhi was banished to Li Yan, but he was near. Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Xianqi Zhusheng, e Shi Wulin, Yingyang Chibi. However, when he was in the Xianghan Dynasty, he sold his land and houses, and divided his wealth to become a scholar in order to be a great man. Gongjin was the first to sun CE, and Zijing was the second to su. Zibugang bamboo slips, with indomitable integrity, belong to the business of King Huan. He first praised Jinglun, Zhongmou inherited it, and bowed himself to help Yi: what was the ancient saying about the orphan who entrusted six feet? Even though the loyal advice repeatedly, straight road does not return, folding Yi hunting Entertainment, Ju diaotai Music: Si you Wang Chen Jian, the country's yuan old man. As far as the world is concerned, Fu Jiangdong has only one ear in four parts. He can't restore his power and clarify his power in order to be loyal to the Communist Party. However, he is indifferent to his anger and poison. He is tired of hearing his words. He begins to draw his sword at Yu Fan and ends up pressing it at Zibu. He was banished to the end of his family, and Zhao also abandoned his family. Therefore, he made Shiwang bruised. Yuan Gong said: "because Zhongmou's weapon is small, he can't trace the Central Plains. It's appropriate for Maochang to do his work. The husband took his son Bu Zhongxian as his successor and took his place in the Yi Dynasty. If he disobeyed his purpose, he would be disappointed: if he was a humble scholar, he would like to go up from the bottom and exhaust his lonely worries! He who is good at learning from the past must look into the present; he who is good at planning for the future must seek for the near: is it necessary to examine the past in praise of a work? It will be smooth, and you can make a considerable contribution to the leaves. Talk about the recovery of the broken, for its praise cloud.
