Jixuan, Qiannan attic. This room is only ten feet square and can only accommodate one person. A century-old house, dust and mud oozing out, rain betting; Every time you move a case, you can look at it. You have no choice. The room faces north, so it gets dark at noon. I repaired it a little so that it wouldn't leak from it. Four windows were opened in front, and a wall was built around the yard to keep out the sunshine in the south. It was sunny and the room was bright. I planted orchids, osmanthus trees, bamboo and other vegetation in the yard, which added new luster to the old railings. Borrowing books, singing, sitting still, everything can be heard; The court was silent, birds pecked and people didn't go. On the night of the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the moon is high, illuminating half of the wall. The shadows of osmanthus trees are scattered, and the shadows are shaken by the breeze, which is very lovely. (Silent Works: Silent Steps)

At that time, uncles and uncles set up many small doors indoors and outdoors, and the walls were everywhere.

I responded outside the board meeting. "Don't put it off until tomorrow, I cried, I cried." After a while, he brought one and said, "My grandfather Tai Changgong brought it to the emperor. You can use it in the future!" Biqu closed the door with his hand and said to himself, "My family's study has been ineffective for a long time. If my son succeeds, he can wait!" After a while, he held an elephant and said, "This was given to North Korea by my ancestor, Emperor Xuande. You will need it one day!" " Looking at the ruins, like yesterday, it is a trombone.
The veranda with windows on the ridge has caught fire four times and can't be burned down. It must be protected by gods. After living together for a long time, people can be distinguished by their feet. Liu Bei and Cao Cao fought for the world, and Zhuge Liang was born in central Gansu, and made great achievements.

Translation of Selected Annals of Ji Xiang
Xiangjixuan used to be the south attic. This room is only ten feet square and can only accommodate one person. In this century-old house, the soil (on the roof wall) leaks from above, and the accumulated running water keeps flowing downwards; Every time I move the table, I look around and there is no room for the console table. The house faces north, so the sun can't shine. It gets dark after noon during the day. I repaired it a little so that it wouldn't leak from it. Four windows were opened in front, and a wall was built around the yard to block the sunshine in the south. The sun is reflecting and shining, and the room is very bright. I planted orchids, osmanthus trees, bamboo and other vegetation in the yard at will, and the railings in the past also added new luster.
Books at home (not translated as "borrowed" here) are full of shelves. I look up and recite poems loudly, and sometimes I sit alone. Everything in nature has sound; The courtyard and steps are quiet, birds fly down from time to time to peck, and people don't leave here. On the night of the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the bright moon hung high and lit up half the wall. The shadows of osmanthus trees were scattered and the breeze blew through them, which was very lovely.
However, I live here, and there are many things to be happy about and many things to be sad about. Before this, the courtyard was connected with the north and the south. When uncle and uncle were separated, many small doors were set up indoors and outdoors, and walls were everywhere. After separation, dogs treat people who used to live in a yard as strangers, guests have to go through the kitchen and chickens live in the hall. The yard was fenced off at first, then it was built into a fence and changed twice. There is an old woman at home who used to live here. This old woman, my dead grandmother's handmaid, has nurtured two generations, and my mother is very kind to her. The west of the house is connected with the inner room. My mother used to come here often.
The old woman often says to me: "This place, your mother used to stand here." The old woman said, "Your sister is crying in my arms. Your mother knocked on the door with her finger and said,' Is the child cold? Do you want to eat?' I answered one by one through the door ... "Before I finished, I began to cry, and the old woman shed tears. I have been studying on the porch since I was fifteen. One day, my grandmother came to see me and said, "long time no see, son." Why do you stay here silently all day? What a nice girl! "When you leave, close the door with your hand and say to yourself:"
Our scholar has not been famous for a long time, and the success of (my) child is just around the corner! "After a while, he came up with an elephant and said," This was used by my grandfather's eldest son, Xuande, when he was in office. I will definitely use it in the future! "Looking back, as if it were yesterday, it really made people burst into tears.
There used to be a kitchen to the east of Jixiangxuan, and people had to pass in front of it to go there. I live in it with the windows closed. After a long time, I can tell who it is by the footsteps. A ridge porch * * * was burned four times, but it couldn't burn down. Probably protected by the gods.
Xiang Ji said: There was a widow named Qing in Bashu. She inherited the cinnabar mine left by her husband, and the mining profit is the highest in the world. Later, Qin Shihuang built a "pregnant platform for women" to commemorate her. Liu Bei and Cao Cao competed for the world, and Zhuge Liang was born in Longzhong and made contributions to agriculture. These two people are still in an unknown remote corner. How can the world know? I live in this shabby hut today, but I enjoy myself and think there are wonders. If anyone knows my situation, I'm afraid I'll be regarded as a short-sighted frog in the well!
After I finished writing this article, my wife came to my house five years later. She often comes to the porch to ask me some old things. Sometimes she learns to write at her desk. My wife went back to visit her relatives and said to her little sisters, "I heard that there is a small attic in my sister's house. What is that small attic?" "Six years later, my wife died, and the porch of the spine was broken and not decorated. Two years later, I was ill in bed for a long time and had no (spiritual) sustenance, so I sent someone to repair the South Pavilion, and the pattern was slightly different from the past. However, after that, I spent most of my time outside and didn't often live here.
There is a loquat tree in the yard, which was planted when my wife died. Now it is as tall and lush as an umbrella.
