Chapter 32 Preface to "Little Music Magazine"

The spring in the idle courtyard is shallow, and the plum blossoms are half in bloom.Chaoxi tops, the soft wind is charming.There are three or five warblers, singing chaotically across the trees; a pair of sucking swallows, learning to speak according to others.Turning up and down, there is Ruo answering each other, the sound is clear and crisp, pleasing to the soul and heart.If the husband and Xiaochen are haggard, the grass will not be fragrant; the weeping frost in the cold, the cuckoo crying blood;Those who heard it were unhappy, and left people in Yan's tears.Or if you climb a high mountain and face a huge stream, the seabirds sing, the wind blows your sleeves, the waves roar, and you fight each other, pounding and knocking, valleys shaking and mountains screaming.The cowards are discouraged and do not move forward, but the strong men rise up vigorously.Alas!The way of sound is deeply touching.But that voice is natural; if the wife does it, there will be music.Heaven and man have different interests, and their effects are extraordinary.

Husband's music originated from the beginning of ancient times. According to historians, it originated in India;It descends from itself, and there are authors from generation to generation.So far, it has become more and more developed.Clouds and water gushed out and blew thousands of miles away.Europe and the United States are popular, and Yadong is the king.Covering morality, promoting the soundness of society; cultivating temperament, the beauty of emotion and god.The power of utility is rather extreme. In October of Otomi, colleagues discussed the creation of "Fine Arts Magazine", and music was attached to Yan.It is a rough tool, and the trend is rising.Colleagues are separated, and disintegration is possible.Not a sycophant staying in Tokyo, living alone with a widow, and saying before eating again, how about guilt?With my own efforts, I first published "Music Small Magazine", paid for by my academic circle, with two volumes per year, published in spring and autumn.If you can't guess, you will be ashamed.Daya Hongda never abandons the humble, and it is a great honor to inspire it.

Alas!Deep in the music world, I love her and believe in her.Silent family mountain, who speaks alone and depressed?Husband Xiangling is faint, the soul of the emperor's son is desolate;The swallows in the spring lanterns, pity the setting sun on a few trees; in the backyard of Yushu, there is a crescent moon in a sad tree.Looking at the cool wind at the end of the day, who would think of it if it blows unevenly!Meditating on the past, I am often disappointed.In the corner of the hotel building, the night is like years.The pen is not finished yet, and the lamp faints and weeps. Bing noon, the third day of the first month

This article was written in Tokyo, Japan on January 27, 196. Inscription on Seal Carving as a Gift to Xia Zun This article was written at Qingfu Temple in Wenzhou in the spring of 1922.
For more than ten years, Jiu Shu carved skills.Now that I am old, I have left the customs and shaved, and I am diligent in cultivating the holy life, so I would rather spend more time playing here?For a while, it is a phantom fate, falsely establishing ministers and ministers: that is, the word "private".The name and other characters are hand-made and printed in numbers, for Zhiqingxi.Later scholars read these remnants, will they laugh at the fact that they have not forgotten their studies?

At that time, the Yangxuan Vaisyakar month was divided into eight days
Yu and Zun have known each other for a long time, and have never shown their carving skills. Now I offer it to the mountain house for appreciation.
