Han Yu Wu Zhen Translation 30, Wu Zhen Han Yu Explained

Han Yu's "Five Proverbs" cannot be regarded as a serious preaching, but expresses his complaints and dissatisfaction with the dark reality, and expresses his deep sigh about his bumpy life experience of not meeting talents and being repeatedly excluded. "You Zhen" ostensibly condemns himself for being full of food and doing nothing, but it is actually an expression of infinite resentment in his heart. "Yan Zhen" satirizes the mediocrity and decay of the powerful people of the current dynasty, who do not distinguish between right and wrong, and are not worth talking to them.

Although the two meanings of repentance and repentance are juxtaposed, it is mainly a reflection on one's own life deeds, and the conclusion is that as long as what is done is moral, even if you are in a difficult situation, you will not regret it. "Proverbs of Good and Evil" argues that the way of communication, what is good and what is bad, is subject to the Tao, and must be cautious. "Famous Proverbs" implicitly pours out the author's grievances about the jealousy of the princes and nobles, the virtuous and the virtuous, through the social experience that inevitably leads to danger.

Although there are five proverbs, the basic content is contained in the following three aspects: First, the author expresses deep introspection on his own "full and frolicking, flea night and inaction", wasted his time, and warns himself that if he does not correct it, he will be abandoned by the righteous man and gentleman and fall into the ranks of villains. Han Yu, who regards himself as the inheritor of morality, should be said to be heartfelt.

The second is that the author repeatedly warns himself of caution and caution in the article, and reviews the encounter of accepting disciples and being demoted in the Yushitai during his two self-appointed staff members and the four doctors. However, looking at the essence through the phenomenon, what is clearly presented in front of the reader's eyes is the result of the arbitrariness, mediocrity, and jealousy of the virtuous and incapable of the powerful and the small in the current dynasty. It was all this that caused the author to suffer one disaster after another.

Han Yu believes that the only way out is that it is not worth talking to them, and the only way to be cautious in the future is to be cautious. The third is that Han Yu showed the consequences of what he did, and the purpose of writing this article is to remind himself to "change the past", otherwise "if you ignore it, disaster will also be", and a greater disaster will come. But Han Yu did not give in, and resolutely confessed:

As long as what you do in your life is moral, even if you are in prison, you will not regret it, "There is no evil in deeds, there is no truth in words, and you die without dying, what do you regret?" It expresses Han Yu's indignation and unyielding spiritual realm towards secular needles.

The Debate is a discussion of the Tang Dynasty writer Han Yu, the famous poet Li He at that time, because he avoided his father's name and could not participate in the Jinshi scientific examination, like other scholars to obtain fame, so his future was affected, Han Yu was very indignant about this, so he wrote this article to discuss this matter, expressing his opposition to the idea of making [avoidance] too widespread, what does [avoidance] mean, the feudal society for the name of the monarch and the elder, can not be sold directly or written directly, the orange is called [ Avoidance], in the Tang Dynasty became a particularly bad social atmosphere, became the spiritual shackles of people's words and deeds, Li He was a very talented young poet at that time, because his father's name was [Jin Su], [Jin] and [Jin] homonym, the patronymic name should be avoided, so he could not participate in the Jinshi examination;

Han Yu is committed to cultivating and recommending knowledgeable young people, so he persuaded Li He to take the exam, "Argument" was written because of Li He, Han Yu quoted scriptures, made a fierce attack and criticism of the decadent social atmosphere, the full text is divided into four paragraphs, the first paragraph clearly explains, why the author wrote this article, the second paragraph of the article, citing the "Book of Rites" bureau about the law, the exact definition of "two name laws" and "suspected name laws", and the third paragraph then cites the national code, that is, to check the archaeological records about "name and name", refute [ The One Who Destroys];

The last paragraph of the article is used, as a person like Zhou Gong and Confucius, you can also stop, the people of this world, do not practice the line of Zeng Shen, Zhou Gong, and Confucius, and the name of the family is better than Zeng Shen, Zhou Gong, and Confucius, and also see their confusion, these sentences use a humorous and satirical tone to rebuke those who [destroy them], which means that anyone who serves his parents can be like Zeng Shen, he can not be blamed, and he can be like Zhou Gong and Confucius, and he can also be said to be the top, but he is not committed to learning the conduct of Zeng Shen, Zhou Gong, and Confucius. But in the matter of avoiding the names of relatives, it is unwise to surpass Zeng Shen, Zhou Gong, and Confucius, as well as eunuchs and concubines;

Okay, that's all for this issue, we'll see you next time.
