What kind of literary essay is Zhongyong?

Original text] Jinxi Minfang Zhongyong, Shili Geng. Zhong Yongsheng has been alive for five years, and he has never tasted the book utensils, so he suddenly begged for it. The father is different, and he is close to him, that is, the four lines of the book and poem, and his own name.

His poems are intended to adoptive parents and adopt clans, and to pass on the talent of a township. Since the finger is a poem, its literature and science are appreciable. The people of the city are strange, and they slightly guest their fathers, or beg for money.

The father is also profitable, and the day is in the middle of the eternal ring, and he does not make it.

I have heard it for a long time. In the Ming Dao, the ancestors returned home, and they saw it at the uncle's house, twelve or thirteen. Ling composed poetry, can not be called the news of the past. After another seven years, he returned to his uncle's house from Yangzhou. He said, 'Ignore everyone. ‘

The prince said: 'Zhongyong's enlightenment is also the heavens of acceptance.' The day of its acceptance is also far from the material.

If they die for the multitude, they will not receive from others. The heavens that they receive are also virtuous, and those who do not receive are many; The heaven that the husband does not accept has solidified the people, and the people who have not received it have to be for the people?

Translation] Fang Zhongyong, a commoner in Jinxi, has been farming for generations. When he was five years old, he had never seen a writing instrument, and suddenly cried and asked for these things. His father was amazed at this, and borrowed it from a neighbor, and he immediately wrote four lines of poetry and inscribed his own name.

This poem is based on supporting parents and uniting people of the same clan as the content, and is transmitted to the talents of the whole township to watch. From then on, someone appointed something to tell him to write a poem, and he could complete it immediately, and the style and truth of the poem were worthy of appreciation. The people of the same county were amazed at him, and gradually invited his father to be a guest, and some begged Zhongyong to write poems with money and gifts.

His father thought it would be profitable, so he led Fang Zhongyong around every day to visit people in the same county and didn't let him study.

I've heard about this for a long time. During the Ming Dao period, he followed his father back to his hometown and met Fang Zhongyong at his uncle's house, he was twelve or thirteen years old. Asking him to write poetry is no longer commensurate with what he has heard before.

Seven years later, when I came back from Yangzhou, I went to my uncle's house again and asked about Fang Zhongyong's situation, and my uncle said, "He can completely disappear, and ordinary people are the same."

Wang Anshi said: Zhong Yong's ability to understand and comprehend is talented. He was much more gifted than the average talented.

He ended up becoming an ordinary person because he was not educated. Like him, who is naturally intelligent, so intelligent, that he has not been educated, and still has to become an ordinary person; So, now those people who are not born smart and are ordinary people who do not accept the education they have acquired, I am afraid that they can't become ordinary people, right?

"Hurt Zhongyong" is an essay on reasoning. Through the story of Fang Zhongyong's development and change between the ages of five and twenty, it illustrates the relationship between people's talent and acquired talent. The article recounts the change process of Fang Zhongyong from being gifted when he was a child to "being unknown to everyone" when he grows up, and points out that the reason for the decline of his talent is that he "does not learn" and "those who receive it from others do not come", and through vivid examples, he derives a truth with universal reference significance, which gives people deep thinking.
