板桥家书 本书特色

郑板桥做官员的一生来看，怎说也不算是光荣的，他主要的成就在于他的书画和诗文，以及他不凡的气质与节操。在中国历史上，能够像郑板桥一样，同时精通诗文、书画、金石的，其前恐怕只有苏轼、李清照和徐渭，其后则根本没有了。从这层意义上来说，他堪称中国文化史上的一位巨擘。

Family Letters of a Chinese Poet 1.To Brother Mo, From Taokuang Temple, Hangchow, Written In 1732 There is no one in the world who is not a descendant of the Yelow Emperor, and Yao and Shun. But today some have unfortunately become slaves, slave girls, concubines, drudge and lowly laborers, living in poverty and distress and unable to help themselves; it would be wrong to assume that their ancestors were saves, slave girls, concubines, drudge and lowly laborers in generations ago. Once they make up their minds and are willing to work hard, some of them become rich and honored in their own life time, and others become so in the next generation. Is there such a thing as blood among kings, dukes, premiers and generals? Some scions of former noble or well-known families tuant others on their birth and brag about their previous generations, saying, "Who is he, and yet he is high up? I am such and such a person, and yet I am down and out. There is no justice in heaven or in the affairs of man." Alas! they do not know that this is exactly the justice of heaven and of human affairs. Heaven rewards the good and punishes the licentious; it is in accordance with reason that he is good and therefore rewarded, and you are licentious and therefore poor. What is wrong with that? For the way of Heaven goes in a cycly. His ancestors were poor, and now it is his turn to be rich and honored; your turn to be poor.
