i.e. exhibiting birds. The name is obtained, the word season, ju liuxia, the death of The Hui, so it is called Liu xia Hui. The ancient record says: "Liu Xia Hui stayed at Guomen overnight, and there was a woman who came to sleep, afraid that she would freeze to death, and sat in her arms until dawn." "Because of ordinary deeds, there is great light." The sages of the time are worshipped. He was once a master of Lu Zhishi, but he was deposed three times and did not go. Someone asked, "What?" "Straight and straight, straight and not three?" "For example: Qi Guoqiang, Solu Guoding = National Treasure "Cen Ding", Lu Hou sent Qi qi with a fake Ding pretending to be a real Ding. Qi Hou was suspicious and sent someone to lu with Ding, asking the bird to confirm it, and Lu Hou ordered the bird certificate to be false. The exhibition of birds said: "The king takes the ding as the national treasure, and the subject takes the letter as the national treasure." The king is to protect the national treasure, and the treasure of the faith of the broken subject is difficult for the subject to obey the order. "Lu Hou was deposed with Zhending and Qi, and the birds were deposed without complaint.

Vernacular solution

Now we are talking about Yanagishita (Note 1). Liu Xia Hui was a native of the Lu kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, a sage of the Spring and Autumn Warring States era, his surname was Zhan, his name was obtained, the word bird, and he had a nickname called Ji. This man is a righteous and bright person, a very disciplined person, and a good example for ordinary people. At that time, the customs of China were similar to those of the West now, but he could be a candle in the wind, and the fine gold refined by the fire was different from ordinary people; he was of good character and pure in thought.

One day, when he returned from a long trip, the city gates were closed, and people at that time often liked to travel to the countryside. He was about to be happy and forgetful, and he came back late, and he was outside the city to do this camping. At this time, there was a woman who could not enter the city gate. Because the security of the Spring and Autumn countries was not very good at that time, the city gates were closed very early to prevent the armies of neighboring countries from sneaking in. Then this woman could not enter the city gate, could not enter the Guo Gate, and lived here. About the woman was wearing very thin clothes, and the weather was very cold, so the bird had a kind of compassion, and asked this woman to sit in his arms for warmth, until dawn, and he did not behave irregularly.

Because he was usually very good at conduct, and he was also a group of sages at that time, ordinary people respected him as if they were holy people. When he was a Lu Guoshi teacher, the "shishi" was in charge of laws and regulations, and because he was very outspoken and straightforward, he was often deposed and demoted by Lu Hou. Degraded three times, he did not complain, nor did he leave the country of Lu.

Some people have this kind of talent for him, have a strategy for governing the country and the country, and this kind of talented person is deposed and deposed, and he feels that he should be able to go to a neighboring country to become an official. But he didn't go, and some people didn't understand what his behavior meant, so they asked him. He said, "Because I serve the monarch with my outspokenness and straightness, I am going to be deposed everywhere." "So, he doesn't go either.

When this matter is said, the average person still does not quite believe that he is blunt and straight, so he cites one thing to prove: this matter is that the State of Lu has a Baoding, which is the national treasure of the country, and because the State of Qi is strong, it is hard to ask Lu Hou for this national treasure and this Baoding. Lu Hou was also reluctant to give this Baoding, so he made a fake Baoding and gave it to Qi Guo. Because this is a Baoding, the treasure of the town and the country, although Lu Hou sent it like this, Qi Hou did not believe it: There is no reason why you will give me your country's Baoding so easily! So he asked someone to take this Baoding to the country of Lu and asked the birds to confirm that this was a real Baoding and a fake Baoding. When Lu Hou knew about this, he summoned Zhan Yan in advance and said, "Now you should do things for Lu Guo, be loyal to the country, and you should tell Qi Guo that this Baoding is true." Then zhan fowl said to Lu Hou: "The king regards this baoding as a treasure of the country and a treasure of the town and the country; as for me, I regard faith as a national treasure and a national treasure with credit." Then it is very difficult for me to follow such an order by using the treasure of the state to break the treasure of my faith; if I am true, I will say that it is true, and if it is false, I will say that it is false, and I will not obey the master's abusive orders. He said this, Lu Hou had no way, and then he would give the real Baoding to the State of Qi, and the power of the State of Qi would take the real Baoding away. Because of this, the exhibited birds were also deposed later. Although deposed, he did not complain at all. So I admire him for saying that

Ignorance and defilements are self-seeking: We people have troubles and confusion, and everyone finds them themselves.

Pure heart and low desire, good character: You must be able to be pure in your heart, and if you can have no such desire, your character will naturally be very good.

Sitting is not chaotic, Liu Xia Hui is less: In the Lu kingdom, there is a sage Liu Xia Hui, who is not chaotic (Note 2), which is very rare.

Worthy of the sage, please refer to him: his character is really worthy of being a sage, so please refer to him; please refer to him, and take him as a good example for yourself.

A sage who obeys the law and obeys the law: Saying that this Yanagi xia Hui, he can serve both the public and the law, so his character can enter the sages, and he is a sage.

Lu Guo Man's Ancient Legend: Lu Guo This Lu man exhibited birds, and this virtue of his has been passed down throughout the ages.

Pure-mindedness and de-hue: He can leave this desire, leave this hue, with a pure heart.

Calm and relaxed: He is not in a hurry at any time, very determined, very leisurely, not so anxious, not so angry, and so "free of day". He was at his own in that way, very natural, not at all pretentious, not at all reluctant, all very natural.

Integrity does not yield to the magnate: he can not sneak around, do not flatter people, and he does not flatter people of all kinds of magnates.

The Grand Duke's selflessness was unprecedented: before him, I am afraid that there was no one like him.

A good example after a hundred disasters: give our descendants such a good example,

Immortal character: His character and behavior are very strong, and they are very worthy of our posterity's admiration.

Note 1: This surname is exhibited. Yanagishita was his food, and Hui was his nickname, so posterity called him Yanagishita Hui.

Note 2: From the Book of Poetry Mao Heng's Note. There is also the pure mengqiu of Hu Bingwen of the Yuan Dynasty, which also mentions that the story of Liu Xia Hui sitting in the heart of The Later Generation is roughly the same as this version.
