The Zhu Shi (a book that records rituals) says: "Every August 15 night when the moon is bright, there is music of playing the qin and flute, which floats around the peak, and the apes in the mountains all chirp, and it only slowly stops in the early morning."

Behind the shrine, halfway up the mountain, there is a stone altar, flat and spacious. Legend has it that Xia Yu met the goddess and presented her with a talisman here.

Viewing the twelve peaks from the stone altar is like a barrier. On this day, the sky was clear, looking around the sky cloudless, only the Goddess Peak has a few white clouds in the sky, like phoenixes and cranes flying, hovering for a long time without dispersing, but also feel very strange ah.

2. Translation of Huang Xianshang

Tian Xuekang, the governor of Taizhou, was a clean official, and Huang Xianshang did not make any personal gains when he was dealing with him. When Tian Xuekang was removed from his post, he could not return home without money. Huang Xian Shang was about to go home and had only twenty taels of silver in his pocket. So he went to Tian Xue-shi's residence and gave half of the silver to Tian Xue-shi. Later, Huang Xianshang said to others, "If I had returned to my own home first that day, I would not have been able to distribute the money to Tian Xue-shi because my family was in urgent need of money."

7. a FuZhong shoo literary translation

There are chu doctor in this, want his son's Qi language also, then Qi people FuZhu, so that the Chu people FuZhi said: "make Qi people FuZhi" said: "a Qi people FuZhi, from the Chu people LinFeiZhi, although the day tart and seek its Qi also, can not be obtained.

Comment "Fu", the meaning of teaching. This idiom indicates that one person teaches and many people disturb, which is a metaphor for not being able to accomplish something.

Story Meng Ke was a famous thinker and educator during the Warring States period. He was the main successor of Confucius' Confucianism, and was known as the "Sage of Asia", and was honored as Mencius.

One year, Mencius heard that the king of the state of Song said that he wanted to implement a benevolent government, which was exactly what Mencius had been advocating, so he went to the state of Song.

Mencius spent a period of time in Pengcheng, the capital of Song, learning about the country, and found that there were very few wise ministers under the ruler of Song, while there were many people without virtue and talent. Feeling that the situation was not as the ruler of Song said, he planned to travel to another country. When the ruler of Song heard that Mencius was going to leave, he sent his minister Dai Busheng to detain him and ask him for advice on how to rule the country. Dai Busheng said, "May I ask you, sir, what is the best way to make the ruler of our Song state wise?"

Mencius replied, "Do you want to make the king of your country virtuous, sir? I can tell you plainly. But let me tell you one thing first. There was a great doctor in the state of Chu. He wanted his son to learn the Qi language. According to your opinion, should we ask the Qi people to teach him, or should we ask the Chu people to teach him?"

Dai Bousheng did not think twice he said, "Of course it is to ask the people of Qi to teach him."

Meng Zi nodded and said, "Yes, the doctor hired a man from Qi to teach his son the Qi language, but his son was surrounded by many people from Chu who disturbed him all day long and quarreled with him. But his son was surrounded by many Chu people who disturbed him all the time and quarreled with him. In such an environment, even if he was whipped, scolded, or forced to do so, he would not be able to learn the Qi language. If the doctor had not done so, but had taken his son to Qi and let him live for a few years in the downtown area of Linzi, the capital city of Qi, he would have learned the Qi language very quickly. Even if you do not let him speak Qi live, or even slap him with a whip and force him to speak Chu, you cannot do it."

Dai Bousheng interrupted Meng Zi and said, "We also have a virtuous soil like Xue Juzhou in Song!"

Meng Zi replied, "Yes, Xue Juzhou of Song was a clean doctor. But he alone is of little use to the king's right and left. It would have been better if all the people on the king's side, no matter how old or young they were, no matter how high or low they were, could have been like Xue Juzhou. If all the people on the king's right and left are not good people, with whom can the king do good things?"

After Dai Busheng returned to the king, the king saw that Mengzi was determined to go, so he did not force him to stay, sent him some money, and let him leave the state of Song.
