Original text" in the old Juan Fan Jun raised the people, in the summer of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, from the Beijing division to hike into Mount Hua as the yellow crown. For a few years, the first Ke settled on the left of the west peak, and the name was Fuan. The wise men and doctors of Huaxia often travel with it; The people around the mountain believe in it. And Fan Jungu is not a scholar. Reading at a young age, good "Chu Ci", Zhuzi and Jing Shi are involved. Read for the East Palace. Fang Li Zicheng coerced the two kings of the East Palace to come out, and Fan Jun knew that he would run west, so he abandoned his home and walked to the pass, and he would do his duty. Naidong Palace doesn't know what to do, and Fan Jun is Huang Guan.
The mountain of Taihua, the top of the cliff, there are pines to shade, there are land and vegetables, there are springs to draw, not taxed by officials, not subordinate to the palace view. The people of Huaxia or the materials to help them, to create is the nunnery and live in it. There are three houses with three wings, facing east to welcome the sunrise.
Taste the rest of the night. Open an account and look at it, the east of the big river, the mountain of the thunder head is abrupt, and the people who are hungry and picked by Boyi and Shuqi, if they let it go, those who are admired by the solid Fan Jun are also. Since it is and the east, then Fen is a song, the mountain on the mountain haunts the surface of the clouds and smoke, such as the will to see, Jie Zi pushes it from the Jin Gongzi, both anti-national and hidden, and Fan Jun's all the ambitions are not successful. And from the east, between Taihang and Jieshi, where the palace and the mountain mausoleum are, go to the vast, and the extreme hope is not visible, and the phase is with the water! Make this note and stay in the mountains. The gentleman of the future climbs the mountain, and he has not forgotten the ambition of Fan Jun.
Translation" Fan Yangmin, a eunuch of the former dynasty, migrated from Kyoto to Huashan to become a Taoist priest in the summer of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen. A few years later, a house was built on the left side of the West Peak, which he named it"Fuan"。Most of the wise men and doctors in the society below Huashan had dealings with him; The people around Huashan trusted him and respected him. However, Mr. Fan was not originally a Taoist priest. (He) has been reading since childhood and loves "Chu Ci"; There are also many theories of the hundred schools of thought, as well as scriptures and historical books. Served as the prince's companion in the palace. When Li Zicheng helped the crown prince and the other two princes to leave Beijing, Mr. Fan, anticipating that he would have to flee west, abandoned his home and fled to Guanzhong, intending to do his duty. But the whereabouts of the prince are unknown, and Mr. Fan became a Taoist priest.
On the top of the cliff of Huashan, there are pine trees to shade, land to grow vegetables, mountain springs to draw water, no taxes to the government, not included in the temple's property register. The inhabitants of Huashan were financed by his materials, so this dwelling was built to live in. There are three rooms, facing east, and you can see the sun rise.
I once stayed overnight at Fuan. Open the door and look into the distance, (I saw) to the east of the Yellow River, the green Leishou Mountain rises from the ground, (that is) the place where Boyi and Shuqi Caiwei were hungry and starved to death, (those mountains) seemed to stand there, (the matter of Boyi and Shuqi) was originally the behavior that Mr. Fan admired and imitated the suburbs. From here to the east, is a twist and turn of the Fen River, Mianshan looms in the clouds and smoke, as if to see Jie Zitui following Jin Gongzi to escape, after the son returned to China, Jie Zitui lived in seclusion here. This is something that Mr. Fan has this intention but cannot achieve. From here to the east, between Taihang Mountain and Jieshi Mountain, is the place where the Ming Dynasty's former capital Beijing and the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum are located, which is very far away from there, and I can't see it as far as I can't see, (only) crying for each other! I wrote this and stayed in the mountains. Gentlemen who climb this mountain in the future, don't forget Mr. Fan's ambition!
Brief Analysis" Gu Yanwu did not forget his ancestral mother"Thou shalt not be a courtier of a foreign country, and thou shalt not fail the grace of the world"He has always maintained a strong and unyielding national integrity, and his poems and essays write about the rise and fall of the nation. "The Story of Fu'an" was written by the author when he lived in seclusion in Huayin. This article expresses the thoughts and feelings of Gu Yanwu and Fan Yangmin, the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, who never forget the Ming Dynasty and want to restore their homeland.
The text is divided into three paragraphs. The first paragraph introduces Fan Yangmin's personality and the creation of Fu'an. first explain Fan Yangmin's life experience before and after the death of the Ming Dynasty: Before the death of the Ming Dynasty, Fan Yangmin was the eunuch of the Ming court; After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he became a Taoist priest. Why do you want to be a Taoist? This suspense leads to the following. After explaining the construction of the nunnery, he was not a Taoist priest and wrote about his person. He was subjected to"People around the mountains"'s trust and respect, read a lot, and especially love to read Qu Yuan's patriotic poems - "Chu Ci". He breathed the same breath as those people who were in the midst of the deep disasters of the country and the nation, but when Li Zicheng took the prince and others to run, he abandoned his family and rushed to Guanzhong to perform his duties, because he did not see the whereabouts of the prince, so he temporarily lived in seclusion in Huashan, in fact, he was waiting for the opportunity to restore the country.
In the second paragraph, the natural environment of Fuan is suitable for seclusion. This paragraph uses a set of neat sentences to write about the environment of Fu'an, and the meaning seems to be a transcendent pen, but in fact, it is because it is not under the jurisdiction of the Qing court"Paradise", that's why he exudes a sense of ease and comfort, and a comfortable feeling. "There are three houses in the house"The second sentence paves the way for the following and transitions naturally.
The third paragraph of the writer's emotion in Fu'an account and looking eastward. with"Taste the rest of the night. "One sentence leads to four meanings: one is to look at Shouyang Mountain from afar, with mountain peaks"If you let it go", expressing Fan Jun and the author's admiration for the ancient scholars and Qi who did not eat Zhou Su; The second is to look at Jieshan from afar, to"As you will see"One sentence, expressing the longing and longing for Jie Zitui who died with the Lord; The third is to write about looking at the Ming from afar"Gongque Mountain Mausoleum", feeling hopeless to regain sight, made the two feel indignant, relatively tearful, and resentful; Fourth, the purpose of writing this inscription was explained.
This article was written in the early Qing Dynasty, so the expression of the idea of restoring vision is generally implicit, but the stitches and feet are very clear. The article is lyrical through the writing of scenes, expresses the feelings of truth through the review of history, conveys the hearts of the bereaved people through the euphemism and twists and turns of what they see and feels, and expresses subtle and deep national feelings and patriotic thoughts. Borrowing topics constitutes a major feature of the writing of this article. The article is borrowed"Fuan"The title expresses the idea of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.
The ideological connotation of this article is gradually and deeply revealed. In the first paragraph, it is written that Fan Yangmin lived in seclusion in Huashan to create a compound nunnery, and Fan Yangmin's dedication and dedication to his duties were written, but"Restore your sight"The main thrust has not yet been revealed. In the second paragraph, the natural environment of Huashan Fu'an is written, and through a harmonious and charming description, the taste of being at ease and contentment is written, and the feeling of being proud of getting rid of the rule of the Qing court is certainly on the paper, but the idea of restoring the Ming still needs to be deeply revealed. The expression of the last paragraph is becoming clearer. This feature is even more pronounced in the last paragraph: borrow first"Taste the rest of the night. "In a word, the author was put into it in a real and natural way, and then according to the line of sight from near to far, step by step in-depth showed the minds of the two. Look east"Thunder's Head Mountain", the author reminds of the discipline of Boyi and Shuqi who were loyal to the Shang Dynasty, clearly pointed out Fan Yangmin's admiration and emulation, and showed the thoughts and feelings of nostalgia for the homeland and the new dynasty; Look east"Mountains on the top", reminiscent of Jie Zitui's return from the death of the Jin Gongzi and the high wind and bright festival of the successful retirement. Then it also pointed out the embrace of Fan Yangmin. Due to"The East Palace didn't know what to do", he had to enter Huashan to become a Taoist priest"Unsuccessful"。At this point, the article goes deeper, and the theme of regaining vision has been revealed. Looking east at the Ming Dynasty's former capital "Guanque Mountain Mausoleum", there is no sight, there is no hope, and the two are "in harmony". clearly expressed the thoughts and emotions of the two of them when they could not expect to regain their sight. On the basis of the above-mentioned layers of expression, at the end of the article, a clear and clear sentence puts forward the strong will of "not forgetting Fan Jun's ambition", praising Fan Jun's ambition and deeds, and clearly showing the theme of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. In this way, with the distant shift of sight, the feelings gradually become stronger, written layer by layer, the structure is rigorous, and the expressiveness is strong, so that the ideological content of the article is extraordinarily deep. Nature produces a compelling artistic effect.
Another characteristic of the writing of this article is that the material is selected around the content of the ideas to be expressed, and the tailoring is very appropriate. The author looked east in Fu'an, and his field of vision was originally extremely broad, but the concentration of ink was only in the northeast. From this side alone, from Huashan in Shaanxi Province to Beijing, thousands of miles away, there are naturally many mountains that can be written in the middle, but the author only chooses "Thunder Head Mountain", "Mianshang Mountain" and "Taihang, Jieshi Tree" to write, and wantonly sway, fully express thoughts and feelings, and do his best to stop. The two remnants of the Ming Dynasty who lived in seclusion in Huashan were connected to their emotions day and night, and they didn't need to ask. As for those that have nothing to do with the theme, even if it is a famous peak and immortal mountain, it will never be involved in writing. The theme is clear and prominent, and the expression is appropriate and appropriate.
It should be mentioned in passing that the "Fu'an Ji" is written towards the rulers, not the peasants who revolted. Although the attitude towards Li Zicheng in the article shows the limitations of the author's thinking, it absolutely cannot hide the dazzling brilliance of this article, and people will not weaken their love for it.
