Title 50 of the Classical Chinese Floating White Master Xiaolin A Monkey Dies

In the Han Dynasty, there was an old man who had no son. The family is very rich, but he is very frugal and stingy, and his food and clothing are very simple and economical. He gets up before dawn every day, goes to bed until almost midnight, carefully manages his own industry, and is never satisfied with accumulating money, and he is reluctant to spend it.

If anyone begged from him, and he could not refuse, he went into the house and took ten denarii, and then went out, reducing the amount of money he was going to give away, until when he went out of the door, only half of it was left. He closed his eyes in distress and handed the money to the beggar. Repeatedly admonished:

I have brought you all the money in the family, and you must not tell anyone else. So much so that the beggars followed suit and asked me for money! The old man died soon after.

His fields and houses were confiscated by the government, and the money was handed over to the state treasury.

It's an ancient translation, I can understand this, and the translation means that his son Qin Xishi, nephews Qin Changshi and Changling are listed in the same list. Ascending to the first place means being in the middle of the lift, and the meaning of being in the test. Hope it helps. Hope! Thank you!

Translation: Qin Hui's son Qin Xishi and nephews Qin Changshi and Qin Changling were all ranked first in the same imperial examination.

Fang: Just now. Both: Since. Desire: Want.

Zhi: pronoun, referring to monkey hair.

Victory: Endure. Unwinnable: unbearable.

Fang: Just. Both: Since.

Plucking: refers to monkey hair.

Win: Bearable.

There is an idiom in the text: a hair, which means: to describe people as very stingy and selfish.

A monkey saw Hades after he died and asked to be reincarnated as a human being. Hades said, "Since you want to be a man, you need to pluck all the hair."

So (Hades) asked the Yaksha to pluck the monkeys. Just after pulling one out, the monkey couldn't help but cry out in pain. Hades laughed

Look at you, you are reluctant to pull even a single hair, how can you be a person? ”

When a monkey died, he saw Hades and begged him to be reincarnated, and the king said:"If you want to be a human being, you must pluck out the hair. "So he asked the Yaksha to pluck his hair.

Only then did he pull one out, and the monkey couldn't stand the pain and screamed. Wang smiled and said:"Seeing that you don't pluck a single hair, how can you be a person? "
