On June 1 day, the layman visited Chushan for the first time, and he became an alcoholic himself. Old and frail, he will retire on English waters and become a layman on June 1. A guest asked, "What is June 1st?" The layman said, "My family has a collection of 10,000 books, including 1,000 copies of epigraphy of three generations, a piano and a chess game, and always a pot of wine." The guest said, "It's for Wuyi Er. What can I do? " The layman said, "I am not an old man in these five things?" The guest laughed and said, "Who wants to escape fame? And the numbers are repeated. This Zhuang sheng is afraid of shadows and walks in Japan and China; I will see my son run away, panting and dying of thirst, but I can't escape. " The layman said, "Because I am famous, I can't escape, but I also know that my husband doesn't have to escape." To this end, let me talk about my joy. "The guest said," How did you play? " The laity said, "My joy can prevail! Qi Fang is proud of five things, but he doesn't see it in front of the mountain, and he is thunderous and not surprised by the broken column; Although the Ninth Ring Road was fought in the wild in Dongting, reading the battle in Zhuolu's original works is not enough to describe fun and appropriateness. However, I often suffer from the loss of those who are extremely happy, and there are countless people who are world-weary. It is great for two reasons. The mysterious business group is working hard outside, and the troubles and worries are working hard in my heart, so that my body will not get sick and my heart will age before it grows old. Why bother about five things? Although I begged him to mourn him for three years, one day the son of heaven gave him his bones, so that he returned to Tianlu with these five things and fulfilled his long-cherished wish. This is why I am ambitious. " The guest replied with a smile, "I know the fatigue of the mysterious and expensive group, but I don't know the fatigue of the five things." The layman said, "Otherwise. Tired of each other, tired, worried; People who are tired of it are both embarrassed and glad. What choice do I have? "So he got up with the guests, shook hands and said with a smile," It's not enough to put it away. "He sighed and said," There are not many people who are officials. When they get old, they rest, and some don't wait until seventy. I have been longing for it, so I should go there. I've tasted it for the time being. There's nothing to say. Let's go to the second place. Strong as this, he is old and sick now, but weak. Rong Lu is too greedy. He will break his word and should go to Yesan. I have three reasons to go. Although there are no five things, it is appropriate to go. what can I do? "

The 6 1 year-old lay man became an alcoholic himself when he was just demoted to Shanxiang, Chuzhou. Old and sickly, he was about to leave the officialdom, and when he went to Shui Ying Bank for retirement, he was renamed a layman on June 1 day.
A guest asked, "June 1st, what is it about?" The layman said, "My family has 10,000 books, including 1,000 epigraphy books since Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. I have a piano, a chess set and a pot of good wine. " The guest said, "There are only five ones. How can you say' June 1'? " The layman said, "As an old man, among these five items, isn't this' June 1'?" The guest smiled and said, "You probably want to escape fame and fortune, so you changed your name many times. This is like Zhuangzi's ridicule of the man who was afraid of the shadow but ran into the sun; I will see you running like that man, panting and dying of thirst, but your reputation can't escape. " The layman said: "I know that fame can't escape, but I also know that there is no need to escape;" I took this name just to show my pleasure. The guest said, "Did you have a good time?" "The layman said," can I tell all my fun? "When you are complacent about these five items, Taishan is not in sight, and the thunder breaks the column without panic; Even playing Jiu Shao music on the Yuan Ye in Dongting Lake and watching the war in the land of Zhuolu are not enough to describe their happiness and comfort. However, I often worry that I can't enjoy these five events, because the world has dragged me down too much. There are two big aspects. Official cars, official uniforms, official letters and seals make my body tired from the outside, and troubles and worries make my heart tired from the inside, making me look haggard but not sick. People are not old but mentally exhausted. What leisure can you spend on these five items? Even so, it has been three years since I asked the court to retire and return to China. (If) one day, the son of heaven will be merciful to me and give me this old bones, so that I can return to the countryside with these five things, and I will hopefully realize my long-cherished wish. That's why I mark my fun. " The guest smiled and said, "You know that official cars, official uniforms, official letters and seals are hard on you, but don't you know that these five things will be hard?" The layman said, "That's not true. I have been dragged down by officialdom, worked hard and worried a lot; Attracted by these items, it is both comfortable and glad that there is no harm.
What would I choose? "So he stood up to shake hands with the guests and said with a smile," Stop arguing, trivial things are not worth mentioning. "
Later, the layman sighed and said, "The scholar began to be an official when he was young, and retired when he was old. Usually, some people retire before they are 70. I have always envied them, which is the first reason why I should leave my job. I was appointed by the current dynasty, but so far I have no commendable achievements, which is the second reason why I should leave. Strong, fashionable and so on, now that you are old and sick, relying on an unsustainable body to love beyond the post salary will go against your usual wishes and break your word, which is the third reason to leave. I have these three reasons why I should leave my job. Even without these five items, I should leave my job. What else should I say? "
