1, original:

I came to write to persuade my brother to return to Li and ask him about having no friends in the temple. He Jingfu lingers. Hey, brother, I never forget my family, because I was forced. I remember I was on the friends list and I made more and more friends. During this period, I am congenial and morally compatible, and few people can learn from each other. It is a common problem for ordinary laymen to flaunt their cleverness and form a party for their own selfish interests. Ignorance is better than promiscuity. Studying in Jiao Shan is to avoid friends. My home is cold and dull, and my silly brother can neither shoot at the imperial palace nor engage in agriculture and commerce.

The only way to save the poor is to study. However, it must be concise and try to understand the results. We don't care about Sue, but we don't have to pay homage to the King of Qin for the first time. We returned home depressed, and there was a book written by Taigong called Yin Fu. We made a comeback day and night, won the six national seals, let us know the fame and fortune of a gentleman, and enjoy it only by our own knowledge and talent. You are lucky to be promoted by your peers. My stupid brother is a scholar. Compared with Su Qin, who was sealed by the six countries, it is really uncomfortable, but it still feels better than Su Qin, who returned to China.

And how to learn, instead of getting personal with the ancients, it is better to turn to the friends of today. All those who are absorbed in classics, history, philosophy and concentration will rule the country and level the world with princes. Articles by talented people and celebrities are economical, all-inclusive and unprepared. As long as they study hard, it is easy to get good books and enter the word garden. My silly brother planned to go to Qiu Wei three times, but he didn't leave home the first two times, so he went to Jiao Shan to study hard.

Last year, Cohen was recommended, but he was left behind because the quota was full. It is more beneficial to read the mysterious books in the temple of the mountain. It will take another year or two to compete for the next entrance. If it is a fluke to win the championship, it is the credit of the ancestors. Luckily, my stupid brother fell into Sun Shan. If you give up literature and art and specialize in painting, you can also gain fame and fortune. Jiao Shan's trip will be over by then. Brother word.

2. Translation:

Your letter urged me to go back to my hometown and asked me why I was so nostalgic and forgot to go home when I was studying alone in the temple and had no friends. Alas, I have never forgotten my feelings for my family. I may have been forced to do so. Since I entered the school in the county, I have more and more friends every day. Among them, there are very few people who share the same interests, have the same morality and can learn from each other.

It is almost a common problem for ordinary secular people to form a party for personal gain and attract right and wrong. Among those who suffer from promiscuity, I'd rather be my poor scholar alone. Studying in Jiao Shan is to avoid friends. Besides, my family is poor, silly brother. I can neither ride a horse and shoot arrows, nor farm to do business. Then the only strategy to save the poor is reading.

But it must be concise and thoughtful to be effective. Haven't you met Sue? I went to see the king of Qin for the first time and was not appointed. He returned home regretfully, took out the book Yin Fu from his box, studied it day and night, and came out to get the seal of the Six Kingdoms after the completion of Kung Fu. From this, he knew that a gentleman achieved fame and fortune by his own knowledge and talent. If you want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, it is a villain who wants to get promoted by peers.

I am a scholar, and I can't compare with Su Qin, who was sealed by the six countries. In my hometown of Su Qin, I still feel better. Besides, in terms of learning methods, it is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself, and it is better to ask for help from the ancients. All classics, history, philosophy, concentration, princes and princes will rule the country and make the world flat. Articles by talented people and celebrities are economical, all-inclusive and unprepared. As long as you study them carefully, you can easily enter the poetry garden.

I plan to go to Qiuxiang for three exams, and I have never been out of the house before. So I went to Jiao Shan to study hard. Last year, I was able to submit a recommendation letter (recommended to take the palace exam) for Cohen's exam, but later I was left behind because the quota was full (because the quota was full). It can be seen that studying in a mountain temple is more beneficial. I will spend another year or two trying to wait for the next entrance. If you are lucky enough to win the championship, it is the credit of your ancestors; Unfortunately, I still lost my name in Sun Shan. That's my stupid brother. I am both lucky and unlucky.

Give up literature and art, specialize in painting, gain fame and fortune. The trip to Jiao Shan will be over by then. Brother word.

The writing background of Letter from Zheng Banqiao;

Letters from Zheng Banqiao is one of the representative works of Qijia culture in ancient China, and its creation background is closely related to the background of that time. Zheng Banqiao lived in the Qing Dynasty, when the social atmosphere was closed and conservative, and intellectuals paid attention to private morality and family ethics. In this context, Zheng Banqiao expressed his views and thoughts on family and ethics through letters from home.

Zheng Banqiao emphasized the importance of family in his letter to his family. He believes that a moral person should attach importance to family ethics and care about his family, especially his parents, wife and children. He advocates filial piety to parents, respect for elders, and concern for the harmonious coexistence between brothers and sisters. At the same time, he also stressed that husband and wife should respect, trust and support each other, and children should be filial to their parents and inherit the excellent traditions of the family.

Zheng Banqiao discussed the moral cultivation in his Letters from Home. In his view, a person's moral cultivation is the foundation of a family. Only noble morality and good habits can bring long-term happiness and stability to the family. He advocates paying attention to self-cultivation, starting from daily life, being consistent in words and deeds, being honest and trustworthy, being generous to others, and being thrifty. At the same time, he also stressed the need for self-knowledge, modesty and prudence, and continuous learning to improve his self-cultivation level.

Zheng Banqiao also talked about the issue of family inheritance in his letter. He believes that the rise and fall of a family is closely related to the fate of each family member. Therefore, he advocates that family members should support each other, develop together, and maintain family unity and prosperity. At the same time, he also stressed the need to have a broad vision and mind, pay attention to the development of the country and society, and make his own contribution to the prosperity of the family and the country.
