Yan Zi s translation of Chu, Yan Zi s original text and translation of Chu

Someone offended Qi Jinggong, who was very angry and ordered him to be tied up in the main hall and prepared to be sentenced to death by dismemberment, and said that if anyone dared to dissuade him, he would be killed. Yan Zi (i.e. Yan Ying) grabbed the head of the prisoner with his left hand, held the knife in his right hand, raised his head and asked Jing Gong: "In ancient times, when the Holy King Mingjun dismembered the prisoner, I don't know which part of the prisoner to knife first?"

Jing Gong immediately stood up and said, "Let him go, it's the widow's fault." ”

During the Jing Dynasty, there were many provisions in the criminal law. One day, Jing Gong went out and saw a shoe (the shoes worn by criminals who had their feet cut off). Jing Gong asked Yan Zi: "Xianqing's place is close to the market, do you know whether it is expensive or ordinary shoes?" Yan Zi replied: "It's expensive." ”

Jing Gong suddenly came to his senses, so he ordered the abolition of the punishment (the criminal law that cut off the criminal's foot).

【Original text】Qi You offended the Duke of Jing, the Duke was furious, tied up His Royal Highness, and summoned the left and right to dismember: "Those who dare to admonish will be punished." Yan Zi held his head in his left hand, sharpened his knife with his right hand, and asked with his back

The ancients dismembered people, I don't know where to start? The public left the table and said: "Even if it is, the sin is in the widow."

Shi Jing Gong is annoyed by punishment, and there are those who are stubborn. It is used by the slasher. The public asked Yan Zi and said: "The son's residence is close to the city, who knows who is noble and cheap?" He said: "You are expensive." "Enlightenment, for which the punishment is saved.

The case of Yanzi.

Yan Zi Spring and Autumn is a book, and the words that embody Yan Zi's love for the people abound, and it can be said that Yan Zi uses the idea of loving the people to demand and measure the king. What's even more valuable is that as the prime minister of Qi, Yan Zi's love for the people is not only in words, but also in deeds. During the time of Qi Jinggong, it rained heavily for seventeen days in a row, and Qi Jinggong did not know how to sympathize with the people's feelings, so he just drank in the palace, singing and dancing continuously, day and night.

Yan Zi asked for Su to help the people many times, but Jing Gong did not allow it. Yan Zi had no choice but to take out the food from his family to help the victims, and then resigned to Jing Gong. Jing Gong had no choice but to agree to his request.

Original text: When Jing Gong, the rain and snow were not bad for three days, and the public was fur with a white fox and sat on the side of the hall. The banquet entered the meeting, and there was a room, and the public said:

Weird! Rain and snow for three days without chilling. "The banquet said:

Chilling? Gong laughed. Yanzi said:

The infant hears it, the sage of the ancients, is full and knows the hunger of people, the warmth and knows the cold of people, and the ease of knowing the labor of people, and now you don't know it. Gong said: "Good!

The widow is fateful. "He commanded the hair to come out, and hunger and cold. Those who see the road today do not ask where they are; Those who see it in it do not ask about their homes; Follow the country count, without words.

Those who are both in business and in the month, and those who are sick are also old. When Confucius heard this, he said: "The banquet can know what he wants, and Jing Gong can do what he wants."

Translation: During the reign of Qi Jinggong, when the snow fell heavily for three days without stopping, Jing Gong wore a white fox fur robe and sat on the steps on the side of the hall. Yan Zi entered the palace to meet Jing Gong, and after standing for a while, Jing Gong said:

Strange! It snowed heavily for three days, and the weather was not cold. Yan Zi said:

Isn't it really cold? Yan Zi smiled. Yanzi said:

I have heard that the virtuous kings of ancient times knew that someone was hungry when they were full, that someone was cold when they were warm, and that they were working hard when they were comfortable. Now the king does not know the afflictions of the people! Jing Gong said

That's right! I have listened to you. So he ordered that clothing and food be brought out and given to those who were hungry and cold.

It is commanded that whoever sees a man who is hungry or cold on the way, without asking him which village he is, and if he sees a man who is hungry or cold in Lilu, he does not ask him which family he is, and he does not need to report his name. Those who have been appointed and have not taken up their posts will be given two months of relief food, and those who are sick will be given two years of relief food. When Confucius heard this, he said:

Yan Zi can understand what he should do, and Jing Gong can do what he is happy to do. ”
