Remember the three generals:
The country of China is worthy of great talent; The military camp is worthy of excellence.
Ngan Linh Ngoai Giao's swords were bristling, waiting for Ban Tu to establish his reputation; The cannons surrounding the city were rumbling, but suddenly they disappeared. Phuc Ba's many plans were hopeless.
The sound of the gong is forever sad; The loyalty of Mount Tai is deeply felt; The loyal soul returns to the distant sky; The body is buried in a place of separation.

LESSON 18. 阮述祭長姨文(9; 6b)
Hello !
天道有陰有陽，人生有內有外。義由禮起，哀以情生。此述今日之所哭于姨也。述晚生不得見外祖考妣，得見者惟母與舅與姨。舅老無男，姨竝無出。述母又單得。述幼以迨長姨與周旋。母亡未詳，李姨既繼沒。母服初終，而姨又溘然然長逝矣。嗚呼!我姨之死，運耶?命耶?述癡不之覺。祗今見舅不見母。既不見母，復不見姨。人非木石，安得無情!哭雖不轉，而可已乎哉?
鳳城之花容暗淡，蓮潭之月色低迷。觸景傷懷，撫今思昔。禮疏而義重，服短而情長。一奠墓前，尚其靈鋻。
Nguyen Thuat, the chief priest, left the text.
Oh!
Heaven has yin and yang, human life has inside and outside.
Meaning begins with ritual, and people are born with feelings. This is what the old saying goes.
In his late years he could not see his maternal grandparents, and those who did were his mother, paternal aunt, and paternal aunt. The paternal aunt had no sons, and had no children. He had only one mother. He had waited for his paternal aunt to take care of him when he was young. His mother had passed away, and his paternal aunt had taken over. When his mother died, his paternal aunt had continued to cry. Alas! What a fate! What a fate! How ignorant! Now that I see my paternal aunt, I cannot see my mother. Now that I have not seen my mother, I shall not see my paternal aunt. Man is like wood and stone, how heartless! His cries do not move, and yet he can be heard!
The beauty of the Phung Thanh flower is dim, the color of the moon in the lotus pond is intoxicating. The sight makes me feel sad, and the memories are still there.
The first ceremony is important but the last is short. Before the tomb, the spirit is examined.
Translation
Van Nguyen Thuat, the first aunt's funeral
Oh my!
Heaven has yin and yang, human life has internal and external. Righteousness arises from ritual, sadness arises from emotion.
So now Thuat cries for his aunt.
Thuat was born late, and did not get to see his grandparents, only his mother, uncle and aunt. He was old and had no son, and his aunt was unmarried. His mother only had one son, Thuat. From a young age, Thuat was always taken care of by his aunt. Not long after his mother passed away, his aunt followed in her footsteps. His mother had just finished wearing mourning clothes, but now his aunt was gone forever.
Oh dear! Was my aunt's death due to luck? to fate? I am so stupid that I cannot know. Up to now, I have only seen my uncle, not my mother. I have not seen my mother, and I have not seen my aunt. People are not stones, how can they be heartless! I know that crying and lamenting are the same, but tears still cannot stop flowing.
The flowers in Phung Thanh Garden are gloomy, the lotus pond reflects the moon in a hazy light. The scene of devastation makes my heart even more broken, now I miss the past, thinking about it makes me even sadder.
The ceremony is simple but the meaning is heavy; The rough dress is short but the love is eternal. An incense altar before the grave, may the spirit witness.
LESSON 19.阮述祭母文(9; 7a)
Hello !
天之道固有陰陽消長，人之情莫慘於母子別離。母之此去也最慘，此述所以有泣血之悲。母之生也:資兼貞淑，德備孝慈。令族稔閒閫訓，考堂早相閨儀。勤儉以起家，朝霜筐錡;溫和而教子，春日庭圍。述所以有今日之堂構者，惟先考之締，亦母之德所貽。每想芳萱竝茂，寶霧長輝。述雖不能斗升逮養，亦願效晨昏之菽水，舞庭下之班衣。胡然甲紀六旬
，春方在旦;南柯一夢，病不及醫。哀哀我母，此去其何之?先君既往，孤子何在癡?長婦亦拙，童孫何知?說起家情不盡，天也胡而。嗚呼!
珥河東流，市廛鑿鑿;蓮潭春水，邑里依依。母之去也，不能輓;母之復也，不能期。行封馬鬣，聊奠蟻巵。母恩罔極，子道誠虧。嗚呼!痛哉!
Nguyen Thuat's sacrificial offering
Oh!
The way of heaven has the inherent growth and decline of yin and yang, human feelings are not as tragic as the separation of mother and child. The mother's departure was already most tragic, that is why there is the sorrow of weeping blood.
Wild life form:
The mind is pure and chaste, virtue is filial piety.
The clan's order is leisurely and difficult, and the examination hall (1) is a place for the generals to practice.
Be frugal to start a family, morning and night to build a good home; Be gentle and teach your children, spring days to gather (2) .
The reason why the art has its present form (1) is because of the emperor's teachings, which are also due to the mother's virtue. Each one thinks of the pure white silk (2) and the long white mist (3) . Although the art cannot be raised to the sky, it is also called the ripe water (4) of the gods , and the cloth worn under the rain (5) .
1. Examining the house: Like the inauguration of a new house , the king built a palace and lived there, then had daughters and sons. It means the family is happy and prosperous.
2 Dinh vi: In the past, it referred to the place where parents lived, and is also used to refer to parents.
The lake is in the record week, spring is in the day;
Nam Kha had a dream (6) , the illness could not be cured. Who, who was my mother, when did this go? The old king had gone, why was the lonely son still in ignorance? The eldest father also died, what did the youngest son know? The love of the family is endless, the sky is like that.
Oh!
The Erhe River flows east, and it flows slowly; The spring water flows slowly, and the village is full of it. Mother's departure cannot be delayed; Mother's return cannot be expected.
The wind blew and the horse fell, thinking of the palace. The mother's grace was extremely cruel (7) , and the martyrdom became a disgrace. Alas! Sorrow!
Translation
Van Nguyen Thuat worships his mother
Oh my!
The way of heaven is to have gain and loss of yin and yang. The most tragic moment for a person is when a mother and her child are separated. His mother's departure was so painful that Thuat shed tears of sorrow and blood.
Mother's life: Loyal and gentle character; Virtue includes filial piety.
The mother taught the noble family with great care; The family was kept in strict order.
Diligence builds a home, morning and night carrying a shoulder pole; Gently admonishing children and grandchildren, a mother's heart is like the morning sun.
Now that Thuat has achieved fame, it is thanks to his father's teachings, and also thanks to his mother's protection. I still hope: The fragrance of the fragrance will always be good, and the protection will always shine.
Although I cannot repay my filial piety, I still wish:
Following the example of the old man, playing with his childhood friend. Why?
At the age of sixty, the spring of youth suddenly fades away;
1. Tang structure: The Minister of State - "Dai Cao" has the sentence " Nhuoc kao tac that, ky de phap, quyet tu nai phat khang duong, than khang cau. " which means "For example, if the father builds a house according to the rules, but the son does not build a threshold, what can he say about building a house?" Later used to refer to descendants who continue the career left by their ancestors.
2. Phuong Huyen: Fragrant grass. The Book of Poetry has the sentence " Yen dac huyen thao, ngon thu chi boi ", which means "How can you get fragrant grass?"
The woman in the house in the north, the hyacinth grass makes people forget their worries, so she calls her mother the hyacinth house .
3. Bao Vu: The female star, only for women.
4. Thuc Thuy: The Book of Rites says, “ Xuyet thuc am thuy tan ky hoan ,” which means “Eating beans and drinking water will end all joy.” Later, it is said that respecting parents is Thuc Thuy Thua Hoan .
5 Ban y: Taken from the word "truc ma ban y" (bamboo horse in floral clothes). According to ancient legend, children used bamboo branches to make horses and wore floral clothes.
playing children's games together. Lao Lai Zi of Chu during the Spring and Autumn period was a filial son. At the age of seventy, he often wore colorful floral clothes and imitated children's games to please his parents.
6 Nam Kha Nhat Mong: Dream of becoming the Governor of Nam Kha district. Meaning life is illusory, life and death are impermanent.
7 Extreme Circles: The Book of Songs - "Xiao Ya" - "Luc Nga" has the sentence " Wanting to repay kindness, like the vast and boundless sky".
Nam Kha slept for a while, sick but could not see a doctor. Poor mother, this trip is forever. Father died early, children are still ignorant.
Mother is gone now, children do not know anything.
Mentioning the wise man stops. Oh God! Why? Oh dear!
The Nhi Ha River flows east, the streets are deserted; The spring lake is full of lotuses, the villages are sad.
Mother has left, there is no way to hold on; Mother, there is no date to meet again.
The wind shakes the horse's mane on the farewell road; A simple ceremony of a few cups of tea is enough. A mother's grace is as great as the sky and earth; A child's filial piety is like that of grass and trees.
Oh my! What a pain!
Lesson 20.省官輓故督堂黄相公帳文(4; 138a)
嗚呼！忠義之節，根於人心；誰無是知，而見之者亦鮮矣。是以忠臣烈士，歷代重之，而况於同辰僚誼者能不爲之悲愴而慨惜也耶！敬惟：故河寧制臺黄光逺相公（公廣南副榜，以吏部侍郎領督）。正直之性，出於自然；剛大之氣，得之善養。有心量有腑畧，與人則誠寔無欺，牧民則廉平不擾。雖前紛蝟務，而應若水流；雖外弄胡行，而靜如山立。寬以接下，而風裁獨自持也；信以睦鄰，而威望常自重也。朝廷方委以鎖鑰；轄民相倚爲保障

The provincial governor visited the late Governor's Palace and the Emperor's Palace.
Alas! Loyalty and righteousness are rooted in the human heart; whoever sees them will know it first. This is why loyal ministers and martyrs are so important throughout the ages, let alone those who have discussed them at the same time, how can they not be filled with sorrow and admiration!
Respectfully, only: The late Ha Ninh (1) Che Dai Hoang Quang Vien Tuong Cong (Duc Quang Nam Pho Bang, led by the Ministry of Personnel (2) Governor). The upright nature comes from nature; The strong spirit is cultivated by goodness. With a generous heart and a strong strategy, he is honest and unpretentious with people; when he looks after the people, he is upright and undisturbed. Although he has been assigned a task before, he responds like flowing water; Although he acts recklessly outside, he is as calm as a mountain standing still. He is lenient in receiving the lower classes, and his talent and power are self-sufficient; He is trustworthy in looking after his neighbors, and his prestige and prestige always stand on its own.
The imperial court is in a state of siege; the people rely on each other as a barrier. The Li family has been in this state for three years, not thinking of coming from afar (using the word "tranquility" as a pretext), and has given rise to military might, and the border is full of open arms. The host and guest are in conflict with each other, the mountains and rivers shake and tremble; The mountains and rivers are clear and blue, the world is filled with ice, thunder, and lightning.
At this time, the support of the lonely city, the evil army, had no response before, no reinforcement later. The first effort did not know that it was impossible to do anything, but it was with courage that he succeeded in reaching the city. When the resistance passed, the situation was at its peak, and his strength was exhausted, and he died. Those who worked together, either rose high or fell low, and wanted to argue, but they could not. (After that, I heard that the officials of the Palace and the Admiral and the Commander-in-Chief, either entered the province or fell from high, and they could not argue, either. If they argued, they would die, and that was a difficult matter.)
The meritorious are those who are loyal to their kings, and they know that the meritorious are those who are loyal to their kings. On the last day of the month, the Duke of Guan thanked him and said, “Not being loyal to your king is not filial.” (Before the Duke of Guan thanked him and said, “Not being loyal to your king is not filial.”) (Before the Duke of Guan’s thanked him, he gave him four old silver cuckoos, cinnamon, and cinnamon. At the end of the month, there was a saying: “Not being loyal to your king is not filial. I would like to remind you of the practice of the goddess! If it is beneficial to the country, then do it; at least it should be done in the case of Heaven.”) Therefore, the filial piety of the meritorious is based on loyalty, and this is the essence. Therefore, those who are motivated by work will lose their lives when they are in trouble, and will receive orders when they see danger; Those who are afraid of life and death will not fall into loyalty; Those who advance, retreat, survive, and perish will not lose their integrity. Confucius said, “Becoming a good person,” and Mencius said, “Keeping righteousness” (3) , these meritorious deeds are the basis, and this is the reason why people cannot surpass them.
Previously, the brave and heroic Nguyen Tuong Cong (4) , met with disaster and died without hunger, his heroic spirit was majestic, so that people admired him. (In the year of the Rooster, Ha Thanh fell, Nguyen Tuong Cong did not eat for a month and died. Later, Trung Liet Temple was built in the temple inside the city.) Now, the Duke has carved out the land of his responsibility, and sworn to himself, to save the city. His spirit and loyalty are like this, although they have been enemies of the past and present, but he is the symbol of loyalty and righteousness. The Duke's loyalty and righteousness are majestic, even in the Nung Son Nhi Thuy. Who is the same as Trung Liet Temple? Those who do not have great ambitions and achievements cannot be completely defeated. But the reputation of loyalty and righteousness is respected by the world. Those who are sad and heartbroken by this lightning and fierceness cannot be counted.
Translation
Memorial to the late Governor of Hoang Dieu Street (by a provincial official)
Alas! The spirit of loyalty and righteousness originates in the human heart. Those who do not know it, will surely see it when they see it. Therefore, loyal ministers and righteous men are respected by everyone, let alone their peers and colleagues who do not feel sorrow and grief!
1 Ha Ninh: Hanoi and Ninh Binh.
2. Lanh: One of the ways to distinguish the responsibilities of officials. During the Nguyen Dynasty, if a high-ranking official held a lower position, it was called Lanh.
3. Successful people: Analects of “Duke Ling of Wei”: “A person of great virtue does not seek life to harm others, but kills himself to become a person.”
(A man of will and a man of humanity does not harm human virtue for the sake of living, but sometimes takes death to preserve human virtue); Holding the meaning: Mencius "Gao Zi": "Life is also what I desire, righteousness is also what I desire, the two cannot be obtained together, giving up life and preserving righteousness." (I also desire life, I also desire righteousness, if I cannot obtain both, then give up life and preserve righteousness.)
4 Nguyen Tuong Cong: Nguyen Tri Phuong.
Remembering him: Originally Ha Ninh Che Dai Hoang Quang Vien (he was from Quang Nam, passed the Pho Bang exam, held the position of Lai Bo Thi Lang Lanh Doc).
Upright and simple in nature; Strong in will, cultivated beyond others. Full of heart; Talented and well-versed in strategy. Treating people with sincerity and propriety; Treating the people with integrity and impartiality. Although there are countless affairs of state and people, respond smoothly like flowing water; Although outside is busy with worries, the mind is as calm as the mountains. Tolerant in dealing with subordinates, yet decisive and persistent; Harmonious with neighbors, still strict and cautious.
The court assigned him the task of guarding the border, governing and protecting the people. After three years in office, suddenly the enemy used the pretext (1) (which was just an excuse for their acts of invasion and massacre) to show off their military might, so a war broke out at the border. Therefore, our enemies fought each other, the earth and sky shook, the sound echoed through the mountains and rivers, and the sound of thunder and lightning.
At that time, he decided to defend the citadel with his army alone, without anyone to rescue him at first, and without any reinforcements later. Did he not know that it would be difficult to resist, but he still enthusiastically went up to the citadel to fight the enemy. Until he was exhausted, he heroically committed suicide in front of the enemy. His colleagues who followed him, some ran up the mountain, some dived into the river, but none could escape (later, I heard that the Prefects, Admirals and Military Commanders hid in wells, some sneaked into the forest but were also unable to escape). Oh, it is so difficult to find a way to live.
Everyone said that he committed suicide to keep his loyalty. But few people understood that his loyalty originated from filial piety. Looking at his recent memorial, there was a sentence: “Not being loyal to the king is not fulfilling filial piety.” (Last month, he wrote a memorial after his mother was granted a sum of silver silk and three cinnamon trees by the king. The last sentence said: “Not being loyal to the king is not fulfilling filial piety. How dare you let your mother feel ashamed. I will not refuse anything that is useful to the country. It is only a small return for what the king has granted me.”) Thus, filial piety transformed into loyalty, it became his nature. Therefore, he was always enthusiastic and energetic in everything he did. He did not fear difficulties, he risked his life in danger. He never thought of life and death, he never hesitated in advancing or retreating. Confucius called him “Thanh Nhan”, Mencius called him “Thu Nghia”, he had almost achieved that, and it was hard for anyone in the world to compare.
In the past, General Nguyen was extremely heroic, when he was in trouble he fasted and died. He was majestic and dignified, everyone admired him (in the year of Quy Dau, Ha Thanh fell, General Nguyen died by fasting for a month. Later, the king ordered the establishment of Trung Liet temple to worship him). Now, he is determined to fight the enemy to defend the land, vowing to fight to the death with the enemy, to survive with the citadel. His spirit is comparable to General Nguyen. Although the situation before and after is different, the loyalty and righteousness are the same. The General's heroic spirit of loyalty and righteousness will forever shine in the Nung mountains and Nhi rivers, and will leave its light in Trung Liet temple.
It is a pity that the great ambition was not realized, the project was not completed. Only the spirit of loyalty remains forever with the mountains and rivers. Now, my heart is filled with shame, regret and endless longing.
1. The enemy used the pretext: When French Colonel Henri Rivière brought troops to the North, he used the pretext of protecting the lives and property of French tourists. At 5:00 a.m. on April 25, 1882 (March 8, Nham Ngo year), H. Rivière sent an ultimatum to Hoang Dieu forcing him to withdraw all soldiers from Hanoi citadel and scheduled 8:00 a.m. that day for the Governor, Patrol, Chief, Judge, Admiral and Deputy Commander to surrender at the Colonel's residence.
LESSON 21. Grandson's Sacrifice to Grandfather (Nom) (15; 42a) Alas!
Heaven and earth have been reborn, the path of rebirth is so hasty;
His grandchildren are coming together and then breaking up, the path of breaking up and getting back together is uncertain. Remembering his grandfather:
The earth is intelligent; the sky is pure.
The profession is pleasant enough to play the zither, chess, and archery, but few people dare to compare with the leisurely pleasures; The profession is good at divination, medicine, and Confucianism, but few people are worthy of the literary achievements. The speech is modest and careful, and in every way beautiful and without error;
He was upright and dignified in his conduct, without a single word of disagreement. He loved his grandchildren equally; He was not ungrateful to his in-laws, near and far. He served his grandchildren since they were young, and he always kept the words of loyalty and filial piety in mind.
Since I grew up, my grandfather always taught me to be gentle and kind.
He was so elegant and graceful, I thought he would still enjoy the spring breeze after a hundred years; No matter where his fate was, in just a minute he was already in the fairyland.
Oh!
The leeks' tips are fading in the frost; The mulberry branches are falling in the moon.
The white dove's shadow has passed by in the moment; The picture of the dog suddenly changed. The dreamy place of the ship (1) is still there, why did he have to leave the place to wander?
Where is the orange party (2) that I imagined? How could you bear to seek pleasure? Heaven and earth, heaven and earth, how could you let us part?
God or devil, devil or god, how could you let father and son separate? That house, that career, how could you return to the fairyland? Here are your children, your sons-in-law, how could you bear to ride a crane? Now you see a coffin, let's mourn and mourn together;
Tomorrow, the three-meter grave will be filled, and the shape will be deserted for a hundred years. How can the love of children and grandchildren be fulfilled? I would like to offer a simple temple; Please witness the sincerity of your grandparents, the bitterness of three weeks of indifference. Alas! How pitiful! If there is a spirit, please witness!
1 Point of contact: Nod in response or agreement.
2 Sharing cam: Originates from the idiom "Sharing cam chung kho" (Sharing cam chung kho: sharing happiness and suffering).
