Chapter 41 "Sorrowful Dust" Translator's Notes [1]

"Sorrowful Dust" Translator's Notes [1] The translator said: This is one of the "Sui Jian Lu" (2), which records the story of a lowly woman named Fang Ti.His "Shui Fu Zhuan" [3] states: "Religion, society, and natural things are the three enemies of man. And the three essentials also exist: people must seek refuge, so there are temples; they must seek establishment, so there are cities. ;Life must be sought, so plowing the land and sailing. The third is to do so, and the harm is especially cool. All those who are difficult in life and difficult to understand the truth are all born here.The old man often suffers from obsession, often suffers from bad habits, and often suffers from wind, fire, water and soil.Therefore, there are religious teachings that can kill people, social laws that can suppress people, and things that cannot be defeated by human power.The author tried to publish the first one in "Nuo Tier Tan" [4], expressed the second one in "Ai Shi" [5], and now shows the third cloud [6]. "Fang Ti, one of the people in the "History of Sorrow", was born as an unintentional and unlucky woman. Unfortunately, she gave birth to a daughter, and read all the sorrows of her mother, and she is also the one who suffers from the misfortune of society." According to The law, please try this June”[7], the law of 噫嘿, Hudu adds the body of this lowly woman! Pina Yeka[8], dressed in civilized clothes, leaps and leaps in the bright and solemn world; and Those lowly women only want to be a lowly woman, but they can't get it. Whoever really does it will let it be! Lao Shi said: "Saints never die, and robbers never stop. "[9] He is not an evil saint, but evil and hypocritical saints are enough to cause robbers. Alas, the society is trapped, and the dust is a ball, and Asia and Europe are the same; the water is flowing, and the future will be long! If you make a noise and live in this world, then There will be a time when the bamboo of Nanshan will be cut, [10] and the "History of Sorrow" will be discontinued, when will it be, and when will it be?
