Zixu Fu
The Chu envoy Zixu came to Qi, and Wang Xi sent his chariots and horses to go out with the envoy. . After all, the son is empty and there is no teacher. If he dies, he will be saved by the public. After sitting in peace, Mr. Wu You asked: "How happy are you to eat today?" Zixu said: "You are happy." "How much did you get?" He said: "Little". "Then what pleasure is there?" He said to him, "The king of King Qi wants to praise his chariots and rides on them, but this is what happened to Yunmeng." He said, "Can you hear it?" Zixu said, "Yes."
The king has thousands of chariots and thousands of disciples, and he rides on the seashore. The troops are all over the lake, and the nets are all over the mountains. Cover the rabbit and the deer, shoot the elk and the lin. The duck flies in Yanpu and cuts the fresh dyeing wheel. If you hit a target, you will get a lot, and you will be proud of yourself. Gu said to his servant, "Chu also has plains and vast swamps as a hunting ground. How could anyone enjoy this?" Who is the king of Chu hunting? ’ The servant got out of the car and said to me, ‘I am from the state of Chu. Fortunately, I have been staying in Wei for more than ten years. I have been out and about in the back garden to see if there is anything there, but I still can't see everything. ’ King Qi said: ‘Although, I will briefly describe it based on what I heard and saw. ’ The servant replied: ‘Wei Wei’.
‘I have heard that there are seven lakes in Chu, and I have tasted one of them but not the others. When I saw it, I covered it with a small ear and named it Yunmeng. Yunmengzhe is nine hundred miles away, and there are mountains in it. Its mountains are winding and gloomy, lofty and high, with jagged peaks and ridges, and the sun and moon are obscured. Intertwined disputes lead to success. Stop Chi Pi Tuo and subordinate Jiang He. Its soil is blue, ocher, orpiment, tin, green, gold and silver. All the colors are showing off, and the dragon scales are rotten. The stone is red jade rose, Linmin Kunwu, Xuanli, stone. Among the pleasures, there is the Hui Garden: Henglan Zhiruo, Xiongchang Changpu, Gracilaria miltiorrhiza, and various Zhebaju. There are plains and wide swamps on its south side: climbing and descending, with cases spreading out and being like a river, bounded by Wushan Mountain; where it is high and dry, the growths of Acanthus chinensis and Acanthus striata grow . The lotus root is in Lu, and Lu Xuan is in it. It is inhabited by many things and is invincible. To the west, there is a gushing spring and a clear pool: as the water moves forward, there are hibiscus and crystal flowers on the outside, and huge stones and white sand on the inside; there are dragons and tortoiseshells in the middle. To the north there is a shade forest: its trees are Yuzhang, cinnamon, magnolia, barberry, poplar, pear, chestnut, orange and pomelo; above it there are curved holes, soaring far and wide; below there are white tigers, black leopards, and mandarins. jail.
So he ordered Zhuan Zhuzhi Lun to check the beast with his hands. The King of Chu drove a tamed steed, a carriage carved with jade, a beam of fish, a pearl flag of the bright moon, a male halberd built on the general, a carved bow with a black horn on the left, and powerful arrows made of summer clothes on the right. When Yangzi rides, A is the emperor, but the knot of the case is not relaxed, and there is a cunning beast in the mausoleum; Yi Yema, Hui Tao Yu, riding on the legacy of the wind, shoots the traveling Qi. The eyes are sharp and sharp, the thunder and dogs are coming, the stars are thundering, the bow is not empty, the center is sharp, the canthus is sharp, the chest is deep, and the heart is absolutely connected. It's like a rain beast, covering the ground with grass. So the king of Chu wandered around, soaring and looking over the dark forest, observing the rage of the strong men and the fear of the ferocious beasts. When he was punished, he saw the abnormality of the beasts.
Therefore, Manji, the daughter of Zheng, was ridiculed by Asi. They lined up one after another to show off their skills and became famous. The supporting Yu Yi Mi is in the air, and the Xixia Cui Cai is in the air; the orchids are in the lower part, and the feather caps are pointed at the top; in the majestic court of jade, the flowers are wrapped around the jade and Sui. The flicker of light is as if it were a fairy. So Naixiang and the wolf were in the Hui garden, and the flowers were blooming, reaching up to the golden tip. Take the emerald, shoot the pheasant, and give it to him. Flying white swans, plus birds and geese, under the two barns, plus black cranes. After being lazy, I swim in a clear pool. Floating Wen Yi, Yang Jing Shi, Zhang Cui curtain, Jian Yu Gai. If you don’t use tortoise shells, you can catch purple ones. From the golden drum, blow the sound. The people sing and the sound flows. The water bugs are frightened, the waves are boiling, the springs are springing up, and they are flying. Fields and rocks hit each other, and Liangliang smacks them. The sound of thunder can be heard hundreds of miles away. When the beast is about to rest, he beats the spiritual drum, raises the beacon, and the chariots move along, and the riders follow. They are as beautiful as they are promiscuous, and they are as beautiful as their descendants.
So the King of Chu climbed to the platform of Yunyang. He was afraid of doing nothing, but held his own, spooned medicine and utensils, and then guarded him. It's not as if the king is galloping around all day long, and he has never given up his duties. The moon cuts the chakras, just for his own entertainment. The ministers looked at it secretly, and Qi was almost not as good as him. So the King of Qi had no answer.
Mr. Wu You said: "What an exaggeration! He traveled thousands of miles to conquer the Kingdom of Kuangji. The king sent out the people in the territory, prepared chariots and riders, and went out with the envoys to kill him. Working hard to gain, to entertain the left and right, what is called boasting? Those who ask whether Chu is there, would like to hear about the great power of the country. Now I will not praise the virtue of the king of Chu, but praise Yunmeng as high. , Talking extravagantly about lewd pleasures, showing extravagance, and stealing without taking what you have said are definitely not the beauty of the Chu country; saying nothing will harm the trust of your subordinates, and there is no need to do either of the two. If you do it first, you will definitely be lighter than Qi but more tired than Chu! Moreover, there is a huge sea in the east of Qi, and there is Langye in the south. It looks like a mountain, and it shoots into the furrow, floating in Bojie, and wandering around Mengzhu. Overseas, eighty-nine people swallowed up clouds and dreams in his chest, and there were no traces of them. If they were uncles and treasures, they were of different kinds, rare and strange birds and beasts, and there were thousands of scales and claws in them. They were all indescribable, and Yu could not remember them. The reputation cannot be calculated. However, in the position of princes, I dare not talk about the joy of games and the size of the garden. The gentleman has another visitor, so why is he unable to respond to the king's resignation?
