Author of Lanting Collection Preface Wang Xizhi.

InRantei set prefaceThe author mainly wants to express his own happiness, but also wants to express his love for the beauty of nature. And this work has always shown the positive side of people, in the first paragraph, you can feel that the author's mood is very good, and the second paragraph is the feeling of the shortness of life, which makes people feel that the author has countless attachments to life. And in the third paragraph, he also criticizes nihilism.

While the criticism of Xuanfeng prevails, it also presents a positive significance. <>

The principle of things in every paragraph in the preface of the Lanting Collection, whether it is static or moving, will make people like it very much, and it also tells people that all things are born and destroyed. While there is happiness, there will also be sorrow, so the thing itself is from birth to death, and then from happiness to sorrow. This time is also very short, just like a white horse passing through a gap, and it is not subjective, which mainly depends on a kind of creation of nature.

And it can also be seen that although time flies and life is short, every emotion in it will make people feel the magic of the creator. <>

At the same time, the inner desire can also be felt, in fact, there are many feelings about life and death, maybe everyone has a very different way of dealing with people, but this also makes people feel the sorrow in it**. The essence of life itself has many intrinsic desires, and while it is in flux, it is also an eternal truth. It can also be seen that while making use of strengths and avoiding weaknesses, life can also create infinite value.

General life, so while they have infinite emotion in life, they are also constantly creating their own charm, which is probably the universal life. You can also feel Wang Xizhi.

When creating the preface to the Lanting Collection, his emotions were very moving. Therefore, we can also feel that while life is short and limited, we must cherish every life, so that we can experience the emotion when the author wrote the preface to the Lanting collection.

The first paragraph of the preface to Wang Xizhi's Lanting collection mainly describes the pomp and circumstance of the assembly. It expresses the author's love for life. The second paragraph mainly laments the fleeting nature of time. Life is short.

The idea that the author wants to express is that the beautiful scenery of the place where he is located, the joy of the party, and the sorrow for the country, and the thought that such a good time cannot last long.

Highlighting the "joy" of life and the "pain" of death, the article was written to criticize the nihilistic ideology of celebrities and scholars. It expresses the author's feelings about various life situations: Qi Peng's death is vain, and his death and life are illusory.

Inspire people to work hard!

The author talks about his view of life and death through the banquet of the Lanting, and uses this to criticize the ideological tendency of the scholar class at that time to advocate nothingness.

"Orchid Pavilion Preface" is a calligraphy seal carving work of Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the content of which is a preface made by Wang Xizhi when he entertained friends at home to appreciate his calligraphy works. The following is the modern translation of "Orchid Pavilion Preface":

Where is Rantei? In today's Keqiao District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province.

Legend has it that in the past, there was a literati who enjoyed the autumn scenery with friends here, tasted tea and chanted poetry, which was full of interest. While talking about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they opened the stool to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the fragrant osmanthus flowers and the falling leaves. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" he wrote when he was competing with his friends for calligraphy a few days ago, so he took out the jujube and asked everyone to comment on it.

After everyone saw it, they all admired it, saying that its calligraphy was exquisite, the writing was beautiful, and it lasted for a long time. From this, they extended more topics of nucleus, exchanged experiences, and talked about emotions, as if they were in the Lanting Pavilion, and they had a special feeling.

The approximate translation of the Preface to the Rantei Collection is as follows:

In the ninth year of Yonghe, it was the year of Guichou, and the time was in early March, and we would gather at the Rantei place in San'in Castle, Huiji County, in order to celebrate the ceremony holiday of "Repair Day" together. Many talented people have gathered here, both young and old. This place has high mountain peaks, lush forests, and tall bamboos.

There is a clear and turbulent stream, reflecting around the pavilion, we attract the stream water as an entertainment game of [flowing and winding water], everyone sits next to the curved water, although there is no grand occasion of playing **, but we drink some wine, while making some poems, it is enough to freely narrate the deep hidden emotions.

On this day, the weather is sunny and the wind is warm, looking up at the vastness of the universe, looking down at the many things on the earth, stretching your eyes, broadening your mind, and enough to enjoy the pleasure of hearing and hearing.

People interact with each other and quickly spend their lives. Some people take something out of their erotic thoughts and talk face-to-face indoors (with friends); Some people live indulgently and indulgently outside of their bodies without any constraints by placing their affection on the things that their spiritual feelings are missing. Although they have their own hobbies, quiet and restless, when they are happy with the things they are exposed to, they feel complacent, happy and satisfied, and they do not know that aging is coming.

When you are tired of what you get or love, and your feelings change with the change of things, feelings arise. The things I liked in the past have become old relics in an instant, and I can't help but feel in my heart because of it, and the length of life depends on creation, and finally it comes down to destruction. The ancients said:

Life and death are big deals, after all. "How can it not be grieved?

Whenever I see the reasons for the feelings of my predecessors, the reasons for which are as harmonious as a deed, I will inevitably sigh and be sad when reading the articles of my predecessors, and I will not be able to understand it in my heart. I knew that the idea of equating life and death was untrue, and that the idea of equating longevity with short life was false. Future generations look at the present as the present looks at the predecessors, which is sad.

So one by one, I wrote down the people who were there and recorded the psalms they had written. Even though times have changed and things have changed, the reasons that trigger people's feelings are the same. Future generations of readers will also be moved by the poems of this rally.

1.Strengthen the tone: In the preface of the Lanting collection, imaginary words, rhetorical questions, and exclamation sentences are often used to strengthen the tone and express Xiao He's respect and emotion for Confucius.

Through these expressive techniques, the Lanting Collection Preface was able to more vividly express Xiao He's understanding of Confucius's academic thought and teaching methods, and had a profound impact on future generations.

The translation of the Rantei Collection Preface is as follows:

At the beginning of March in the ninth year of Yonghe, that is, in the year of Guichou, (the famous ten) gathered at the Lanting Pavilion in the north of Huiji County Mountain, and went to the water's edge to carry out activities to eliminate disasters and seek blessings. Many prestigious and talented people came, some young and some old. There are tall mountains and steep ridges, with dense trees.

The forest and the tall bamboo, and the clear water rapids, (in the pavilion) are reflected on the left and right. The water is brought to a circular canal (in the pavilion) and the wine glasses float over the water (for people to drink). People sit in a row next to the meandering water, and although there is no grand occasion of orchestral worship, [but] while drinking and writing poems is enough to express the feelings that they have hidden in their hearts.

On this day, the weather was sunny and the wind was blowing gently. Looking up, the sky is boundless, looking down, there are so many things on the ground, so to stretch your eyesight, open your mind, and enjoy all the sight and hearing, it's really happy! Although they have their own hobbies, quietness and restlessness, when they are happy with what they are touching, they feel complacent for a while, and they do not know that aging is coming.

People get along with each other and pitch up between for a lifetime. Some people like to talk about their interests and ambitions, and talk face-to-face indoors (with friends); Some people place their feelings on the things they love, live without any constraints, and live indulgently, although people's hobbies are very different, whether they are quiet or active, they are not the same.

But they all have this experience) when they are happy with what they are touching, they get what they want temporarily, happy and self-sufficient, and they do not feel that old age is coming; When it comes to returning to the celebration of returning to the home, I am tired of the things I love or get, and my mood changes with the current situation, and I feel that the things that I used to feel happy have suddenly become obsolete.

I already knew that it was absurd to treat life and death as the same worldly hymn, and it was false to treat long life and short life as equal. It is really sad that future generations will look at today as they did today! So I took note of the people who were there and recorded the poems they wrote.

Even though times have changed and things are different, people's thoughts and tastes are the same. Later generations will also be tempted to miss the poems of this rally.
