1. Original text: Hurt Zhongyong (Wang Anshi).

Jinxi Min Fang Zhongyong, Shi Ligeng. Zhong Yongsheng lived for five years, but he never knew anything about books, and he suddenly begged for it. The father is different, borrowing from the side, that is, the four verses of the poem, and his own name.

His poems are intended to adopt parents and adopt clans, and they are passed on to a township to show talents. Since it is a poem written by a thing, there are people who can observe it in terms of literature and science. The people of Yi are strange, and they are slightly guests of their fathers, or they beg for money.

Father's benefit is also true, and the day is in the middle of the eternal ring in the Yi people, not to learn.

I have heard of it for a long time. In the Ming Dao, from the ancestors to the home, in the uncle's house to see, twelve or thirteen. The order to compose poetry cannot be called the news of the past. After another seven years, he returned to his uncle's house from Yangzhou, and asked, "Everyone is gone." ”

The prince said: "Zhong Yong's enlightenment is also the heaven of acceptance." The heaven of its acceptance is also virtuous in the material and far away; If they die for the multitude, they will not receive it from others.

He who receives it is also the heaven, so that it is virtuous, and he who does not receive it is many. The heavens of this husband are not subject to it, and everyone is solid; And he who does not receive it must be evil for the sake of all? ”。

2. Vernacular translation:

There is a common man named Fang Zhongyong in Jinxi, whose family has been cultivating the fields for generations. When Nakayong was five years old, he did not know a writing instrument. Suddenly, one day, Nakayoung cried and asked for these things.

His father was amazed at this and lent him them from his neighbors. Zhongyong immediately wrote down four sentences and inscribed his own name. The main purpose of this poem is to support parents and unite people of the same clan, and it is for the talents of the whole township to watch.

From then on, Fang Zhongyong could immediately complete the designated thing for him to compose a poem, and the style and truth of the poem were worthy of appreciation. The people of the same prefecture were very surprised by this, and gradually they treated his father as a guest, and some of them paid for Nakanaga's poems. Fang Zhongyong's father thought that this was profitable, so he led Zhongyong around every day to visit people in the same county and did not let him study.

I've heard this for a long time. During the Ming Dynasty, I followed my late father back to my hometown and met Fang Zhongyong at my uncle's house, who was already twelve or thirteen years old. I asked him to write poems, and the poems he wrote were no longer worthy of his former reputation.

After another seven years, I came back from Yangzhou, went to my uncle's house again, asked about Fang Zhongyong's situation, and said: "His talent has disappeared, and he is no different from ordinary people." ”

Wang Anshi said: Fang Zhongyong's wisdom is innate. His talent is much better than that of ordinary talented people; But in the end, he became an ordinary person because his acquired education did not meet the requirements.

The talent he got was so good, he didn't receive a normal acquired education, and he still became an ordinary person; So, now those people who are not born smart, who are ordinary people, and do not accept the education they have acquired, are they just going to end up becoming ordinary people?
