Classical Chinese translation. Liu yanchuan

Ada, whose name is Shian, is from Nanhua County, Cao Zhou. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty closed his meditation ceremony in Mount Tai. Ada was only eight years old, and he made a eulogy at the emperor's residence. The emperor was so surprised that he was young and educated that the prime minister said he was a national treasure. He was immediately appointed as the Prince Orthography Judge. One after another, the big officials invited the so-called prodigy, and his reputation was sensational. In the middle of Tianbao, he was promoted many times and served as the county magistrate of Xiaxian County. He never pays taxes, but the payment is not overdue. He was elected as a virtuous founder and was appointed as the county magistrate of Wenxian County. All his posts have records of good governance, and the people have carved tablets to tell stories. And promoted to the empire.

An Lushan rebelled, and he fled to Xiangyang. Wang Yong Li Bai appointed Ada as a senior official, but he firmly refused. He wrote a letter to Fang, talking about the difference between the enfeoffment system and ancient times: "Now it is impossible for kings to work outside from the imperial court at once!" He was appointed as a doctor in Du Zhi by an imperial envoy, and also served as a consultant and manager of tenancy affairs in Jianghuai. When Ada met Li Biao's rebellion in Wu Jun, his interview with Li Xiyan made him plan to rebel against him. Li Xiyan asked Ada to defend Yuhang. After his failure, he fled to Ada to take refuge. Ada told him how to protect himself, so he recruited rebels to hold the camp.

Later, Li Biao was defeated, and he wanted to go back and occupy these counties. When he heard that Ada was guarding, he ran away from the west of Jinling. Ada never talks about his own merits. The emperor recalled him and appointed him as the magistrate of Pengyuan. Later, he was transferred to Ganzhong secretariat and promoted to Henan magistrate. At that time, Shi Chaoyi occupied Luoyang and governed Changshui County. He was also promoted to assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance and concurrently served as an imperial advisor, spending money, casting money, salt and iron, etc. Jing Zhaoyin, Zheng Shuqing and Ricky were fired. Because of cruelty and greed, Ada was appointed Jing. On the whole, I am serious and claim to be competent. Zhuang Yan, who met the Secretary for Agriculture, was put in prison and released soon. He lied in the palace and wrote Ada's last words. Prime Minister Xiao Hua was also jealous of him and was demoted to Tongzhou Secretariat.

Tang Daizong acceded to the throne, shouldering the heavy responsibility of Assistant Minister Jing of the Ministry of Finance, and concurrently serving as an envoy for science, salt, iron, transshipment, money casting and rent. Ada gave the assistant minister of the fact to Yan Zhenqing and made a national sacrifice instead. He ceded Jing to, and was immediately appointed as the official department minister and general secretary of China Academy of Sciences. Because of his good relationship with Cheng, he was demoted as a guest of honor of the Prince. Before long, he was promoted to the position of an ancient scholar, and served as ambassadors for transshipment, leasing, salt and iron and Changping in Du Dong, Henan and Jianghuai areas. At that time, after the war, the price of rice in Beijing was 1000 yuan a barrel, and the palace chefs did not have a quarter of their savings, so they were supplied by farmers in suburban counties. Ada personally took a boat from Huaihe River and Sihe River, arrived at Bianhe River and entered the Yellow River.

Go west through the pillars and stones and observe the ruins of Sanmen Strait Ferry. When I arrived in Yin He, Gongxian and Luoyang, I saw the Lianggong weir built by Yuwen Kai, divided the Yellow River into Tongji canals, and observed the new dike built by Li Jie, knowing all its advantages and disadvantages. However, he was worried about interference, so he wrote to Prime Minister Yuan Zai, saying: "Generally speaking, water transportation has four advantages and four difficulties: Guanzhong, the capital city, is troubled by heavy taxes, and the grain from Huaihe River and Dongting Lake will help to reduce taxes by half; Luoyang is broken, and the number of surviving households is less than 1%. If the water transport is opened, the villages and towns will gradually recover, which is beneficial;

There are traitors in the buffer region and foreigners want to invade. I also heard that China's tributes and goods came to Beijing one after another, and the rations were sufficient to subdue Chinese and foreign countries. This is the third advantage; If the traffic is smooth, all kinds of materials are gathered, and there is traffic between the seaside and the mountainous area, it can be close to the prosperous times of Zhenguan and Yonghui, which is the fourth advantage. From Yiyang and Xiong 'er to Hulao Mountain and Elevation, the existing residents are only 1000 people. There is no house to live in, no smoke to cook, and when wild animals haunt, it will be difficult to send people to drive and pull the optical fiber. This is the first difficulty.

Ada, Zi Shi 'an, is from Nanhua, Cao Zhou. Raise a child prodigy at the age of seven, and save the words for the secretary. I was awarded Xia county magistrate, and I have a name. In the calendar hall, Shi wandered in Langzhong and Hanglonghua, seeking Yin, the secretariat of Henan Province. Shi Chaoyi sent a letter to Changshui when he was stealing in Dongdu. When Ren Jing was appointed, he was appointed assistant minister of the Ministry of Housing and an imperial advisor. He was awarded various degrees, and the government was appointed to record Zhang Qun and Du Ya. On the whole, the discussion number is qualified. Nothing, it was built by a cruel official, Jing Yu, and belittled the Tongzhou secretariat. Re-entered as assistant minister of finance of Jing, and awarded him various degrees. At that time, Yan Zhenqing took Wenzheng as the secretariat of Lizhou and Yan Juzhen as the representative of the Ministry of Finance, which was a drink offering for the children of Canada.

In the second year of Baoying, he moved to Shangshu and Pingzhang in the official department to take charge of salt and iron transportation. Sitting in traffic with Cheng, a China official, Yuan Zhen offended him, rested, and was a guest's prince. Looking for the suggestion, I led Dongdu, Henan, Jianghuai, Shannan and other roads to adjust the Salt and Iron Festival as before. After the new war, food was difficult at home and abroad, and the price of rice in the capital was as high as 1000. The imperial army is short of food because the official kitchen is not accumulated at the same time. People in Jixian county are eager to provide it. After Yan was ordered, he took transshipment as his own responsibility, and everything he experienced must be investigated for its cause. To jianghuai, to book Zai Yuan yue:

Floating in Huai and Si, reaching the border, entering the river, following the column, and passing by Chu Fan in the west, reaching and Changle is also a wonderful strategy to consolidate the country. During the Eastern Dynasty, Yan Bin was slandered by his ministers, and "xianggong" began to grow old and didn't believe in rumors. Jia Yi recalled the propaganda room and Hongyang's resurrection utility, and dared to answer what he knew. Drive to the suburb of Mashan to see the ruins of Sanmen Qujian. Go to Yin He, Gongluo and Luoluo, see the Lianggong weir of Yuwenkai, and turn the water of the Yellow River into a Tongji canal; The story of Dr. Li Jie's new dike is decorated like a river temple, which is awe-inspiring

Involved in the suburbs of Xing, Junze, overlooking Huaidian Lake, step by step, knowing the meaning of the ancestors, Tan, Heng and Guiyang accumulated more grain, and the customs helped them to draw money, only for the soldiers' food. Cao Cao led Xiao, Xiang, Dongting and Wan Li for several days, and fell into a wave of seats, referring to the West Chang 'an. The people of Sanqin are satisfied with this; People of the Sixth Corps, stay here and be strong. The son of heaven has no worries about the side seats, and people see the battle of rowing; Those who refuse to travel in all directions can be emboldened, and those who have left their homes are pleading here. Xianggong Kuang Dai Mingzhu, as a rich man, is a top priority today and must not be lost. Let the servant wash away the defects and filth and live a foolish and cowardly life. When fighting for righteousness, please protect the river bank, be diligent in being an official, and do not hesitate to die.

Extended data writing background:

Ada Biography of Old Tang Dynasty has * * 200 volumes, including 20 biographies, 30 chronicles and 150 biographies. It was originally named Tang Dynasty Book, but it was renamed Old Tang Dynasty Book after the publication of New Tang Dynasty Book edited by Song Qi and Ouyang Xiu.

The Book of Old Tang Dynasty was written at the order of Shi Jingtang in the fifth year of Tianfu in the late Jin Dynasty (940) and completed in the second year of the late Jin Dynasty (945). Because Liu Shao was in power at the time of writing this book, according to the regulations at that time, the general prime minister should be the editor-in-chief (supervisor) of the revision of national history, so Liu Shao became a signed writer. In addition to the third phase of supervision and repair, there are 9 people involved in the preparatory work. They are: Zhang Zhaoyuan, Wei Jia, Zhao Xi, Wang Shen, Qilu, Yin Zhuo, Cui Wei, Zheng Yi and Li Weixian.

Among them, Zhang Zhaoyuan is always responsible for his own affairs, and he is the most diligent. Wei Jia resigned and mourned shortly after receiving the imperial edict. This book was written a year ago. His main contribution is that his 65-volume Supplement to the Tang Dynasty provides many rare historical materials after Tang Wuzong. Zhao Qian always does things, and "has done her best". On the day when this book was finished, Wang Shen was on the list of "Elegant Award". Lv Qi edited Tang Shi in advance, and he was called "a famous man" in history.

The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty has only been circulated for about a hundred years, and it has already been doomed. Starting from the Qing Dynasty in Song Renzong, the court in the Northern Song Dynasty thought that the old books of the Tang Dynasty were miscellaneous but not refined, and ordered Song Qi and Ouyang Xiu to compile the Books of the Tang Dynasty. This Tang book was written in 1060 (the fifth year of Jiayou) and began to "divide books into the world". Since then, the Book of the Tang Dynasty compiled by Liu Yong has stopped circulating.

Until the 17th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1538), Wen Renquan, a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang, borrowed the Old Tang Book collected by Suzhou natives, and asked Shentong, the instructor of Suzhou Fu Xue, to revise Yin Gao in Fu Xue, Suzhou (Wen Renquan left Suzhou in the middle of his work, but the matter continued with the support of many parties). Liu Shaotang has experienced a bumpy fate for 478 years.
