Huang Sheng borrowed books and said translation

Huang Yunxiu, a scholar, came to borrow books from me. I gave him the book and told him:

Books can't be read (seriously) unless they are borrowed. Haven't you heard of the book collectors? "Seven Strategies" (China's earliest book catalogue classified works, divided into seven parts: Compilation, Six Arts, Zhuzi, Poetry, Soldier's Books, Techniques, and Techniques), "Four Libraries" (the collection of books in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, have four libraries of "Classics", "History", "Zi", and "Collections".

Here "Seven Strategies" and "Four Libraries" both refer to the collection of books in the Inner Palace), which is the collection of the Son of Heaven, but how many people are there in the Son of Heaven? Those who carry the oxen so tired and sweaty and put them in the house are the books of the rich and noble, but how many of the rich and noble read? Needless to say, the rest of the books collected by our grandparents and grandchildren are discarded casually.

This is true not only of reading, but of all things in the world. If the man reluctantly borrowed something that was not his own, he must have feared that someone else would urge him to return it, so he looked frightened, and he could not stop stroking and appreciating it for a long time, thinking, "I will store it today, and tomorrow I will take it back, and I will not see it again."

If I already have it, I'm sure I'll tie it up and put it in a high place, keep it, and say, "I'll wait until another day." ”

When I was a child, I loved to read, but my family was poor, so it was difficult to get books to read. There was a man surnamed Zhang who had a lot of books. I went to his house to borrow it, but he wouldn't lend it to me, and when I came back, I borrowed books from him in my dreams.

My eagerness (for books) was like this. So (as long as) there are books that you have read, keep them in mind. When I became an official, my salaries were spent, books were bought, and the house was full of piles, and silverfish often covered the books.

After that, I felt that people who borrowed books to read were (so) single-minded, and how much my youth time was worth cherishing!

Now the young man surnamed Huang is poor like me, and he borrows books (hard reading) just like me (before); It's just that my generosity in lending books to the public doesn't seem to be the same as Zhang's miserliness in lending books. In this way, then I was unfortunate enough to meet the surname Zhang, and the young man surnamed Huang was lucky to meet me, right? (Huang Sheng) understands that he is lucky (who borrows books) and unlucky (who can't borrow books), then he will definitely concentrate on reading, and he will return books quickly.

I) wrote this and said, let (it) and the book (hand it over) to Huang Sheng.
