Yelang arrogant classical Chinese translation
Original:
In the first year of Yuanshou, Zhang Qian, the prince of Bo Wang, sent him to visit the summer. He said that when he lived in the summer, he saw Shu Bu and Qiong Bamboo Stick, and he asked him what he had done. He said, "It takes thousands of miles from the southeast to get the market of Shu Jia people." Or I heard that there is a poisonous country in Qiongxi. Qian claimed that the summer was in the southwest of Han Dynasty, and he longed for China. He suffered from Xiongnu's separation from Shu, and he was poisoned by the country. The road was close, which was beneficial and harmless. So the son of heaven ordered Wang Ran Yu, Bai Shichang, Lu Yue, etc., to make a trip to the west and ask for a poisonous country. To Yunnan, the king of Yunnan tasted Qiang and stayed for more than ten generations. Over the age of 4, everyone is closed in Kunming, and it is impossible to poison the country.
the king of Dian and the envoy of Han said, "Who is bigger in Han?" And the same is true of Yelang Hou. Because the Tao is impassable, each thinks that a state owner does not know the vast number of Han people.

Detailed explanation of modern writing:
During the Han Dynasty, there was a small country named Yelang in the southwest. Although it was an independent country, its territory was small, its people were few, and its products were pitiful. However, because Yelang is the largest country in the neighboring area, the king of Yelang, who has never left the country, thinks that the country he rules is the largest country in the world.
One day, when the King of Yelang State and his men were patrolling the border, he pointed to the front and asked, "Which country is the largest here?" In order to cater to the king's wishes, the subordinates said, "Of course it is the biggest Yelang country!" " Walking, the king looked up at the high mountain ahead and asked, "Is there a higher mountain in the world?" The men replied, "There is no mountain higher than this one." Later, when they came to the river, the king asked, "I think this is the longest river in the world." The subordinates still replied in unison: "Your Majesty is absolutely right." From then on, the ignorant king believed that Yelang was the biggest country in the world.
once, the Han dynasty sent an envoy to Yelang, passing through Yelang's neighboring country, Dian, and the king of Dian asked the envoy, "Which is bigger than the Han dynasty and my country?" The messenger was shocked. He didn't expect this small country to be ignorant and think it can be compared with the Han Dynasty. However, I didn't expect the messenger to come to Yelang country later. Because the proud and ignorant king didn't know that the country he ruled was only about the size of a county in the Han Dynasty, he even asked the messenger, "Which is bigger, the Han Dynasty or my country?"
This only shows that because of the inconvenience of traveling and not knowing other areas, both King Dian and King Yelang thought their country was the largest, but they didn't know how vast the Han Dynasty was.
In this story, Sima Qian narrated a diplomatic event between Yelang Kingdom and Han Dynasty. In fact, at that time, both Yelang and Dianwang simply asked questions because there was no information. Just like a farmer, he entered Chengli for the first time and then asked, is the grain output in the city high or in our country? Although such a question is a bit ridiculous, it is more ignorant.
The so-called "hubris" of later generations is mainly a true satire on those who jump to conclusions because of ignorance.
The idiom "arrogant" is well known all over the world.
Sentence-making: To avoid arrogance, we must broaden our horizons and learn from others' strengths and experiences with an open mind.
Yelang, now Hezhang County, Guizhou Province. 2. Yelang's arrogance
Translation:
After the first year of the inaugural ceremony of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (122 BC), Zhang Qian, the prince of Bo Wang, returned from his mission to Daxia and said that he had seen the fabrics produced in Shu County and the bamboo sticks in Qiongdu during his stay in Daxia, which made people ask about the origin of these things. The person who answered said, "I got them from the poisonous country in the southeast, and the journey from here to there is thousands of miles." Some people have heard that there is a poisonous country about two thousand miles west of Qiongdi.
Zhang Qian took the opportunity to talk about the summer in the southwest of the Han Dynasty, admiring China, and worried that the Huns would block their main road with China. If the road to Shu could be opened, the road to the poisonous country would be convenient and close, which would be beneficial to the Han Dynasty. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Wang Ran Yu, Bai Shichang, Lu Yue, etc. to find a shortcut to start from the west of Xiyi to find a poisonous country. When they arrived in Dian, the king of Dian left them behind and sent more than ten groups of people to the west to find their way.
after more than a year, all the pathfinders were blocked by Kunming, and failed to reach the poisonous country. The king of Yunnan and the envoy of the Han Dynasty said, "Which is bigger than the Han Dynasty and China?" The messenger of the Han Dynasty arrived in Yelang, and Yelang also raised such a question. This is because the road is impassable, and each thinks that he is the master of a state and does not know the vastness of the Han Dynasty.
Yelang Arrogance is selected from Historical Records Biography of Southwest Yi written by Sima Qian in the Western Han Dynasty.

Sima Qian's Historical Records Biography of Southwest Yi said, "What is the length of the monarch of Southwest Yi, Yelang is the biggest."
Around the Warring States Period, Yelang was already a sovereign country of ethnic minorities in the southwest. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Tang Meng was ordered to send an envoy to South Vietnam in 135 BC. Knowing that Yelang was located on the main road from Bashu to South Vietnam, and there was a convenient waterway to reach the capital city of South Vietnam, he suggested to the court to develop Southwest Yi, relying on Bashu's wealth, Yelang's waterway and elite soldiers to effectively control the division and chaos in South Vietnam.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted his suggestion and set up counties in Yelang area, which included Yelang in the territory. In 111 BC, Yelang sent troops to jointly conquer the rebellion in South Vietnam and sent envoys to the DPRK. The Han Dynasty awarded Yelang Wang Jinyin.
The furniture and historical records of Yelang Kingdom are very simple. They only say "Linjiang", and the west is Yunnan. Jiang was the name of water before the Han Dynasty. According to the records of its arrival in Panyu (present-day Guangzhou), the capital city of South Vietnam, today, it is identified as Beipanjiang and Nanpanjiang in Guizhou.
most people think that the Yelang Kingdom is mainly located in the western part of Guizhou today, and may also include some areas in northeast Yunnan, southern Sichuan and northwestern Guangxi. Before archaeological excavations provide reliable evidence, such arguments will inevitably continue.
Yelang destroyed the country at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and when the Emperor River of Han Dynasty was peaceful (28-25 BC), Yelang fought with a small country in the south and refused to obey the court's mediation. Chen Li, the newly appointed county magistrate of Hanting, went deep into the hinterland of Yelang, decisively killed the last king of Yelang named Xing, and tactfully put down the rebellion of his vassals and affiliated tribes.
From then on, Yelang is no longer seen in historical books. Yelang country has existed for about 3 years, and its civilization development has great influence in southwest China.
after the development of southwest China, it played an active role in the grand strategy of consolidating national unity. Li Bai, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, mentioned Yelang many times in his poems: "I am worried about going to Yelang far away, and when the golden rooster will be released."
(Liu Yelang gives Judge Xin) "No matter how new the laws and regulations are, Yelang will bring frost and cold when he moves away." ("Jiangxia presents Wei Nanling with ice") Yelang mentioned by Li Bai is Yelang County, which was set up in Tongzi, Guizhou Province in the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. It has been more than 7 years since Yelang destroyed the country.
Yelang County was set up in Guizhou before Jin Dynasty, which is located in the upper reaches of Beipanjiang River in Guizhou today, and it has been more than 3 years since Yelang was destroyed. Yelang has been used as the county name many times in history, and the first city of Yelang County before and after the above two days is called Yelang County.
In addition, Yelang County was established in Shiqian, Guizhou Province in the early Tang Dynasty. Not long after, Yelang County was set up in Xinhuang, Hunan Province.
Yelang County was also set up in Xinhuang, Hunan Province for a short time in the Song Dynasty, which was the last county named Yelang in history. . 4. the explanation of the arrogant words of yelang

Allusions: "Yelang is arrogant" is a kind of idiom with the highest cognitive rate in Chinese circle. Chinese reference books interpret it as an allegory for conceited people. It is through this idiom that many people know that there was once a Yelang country in ancient southwest China. But this idiom is actually a misreading history. The story of Yelang first appeared in Sima Qian's Historical Records. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty developed southwest China, he sent an envoy to Yunnan in 122 BC in order to find a way to poison himself (now India), and he could not go west again. During his stay, the king of Yunnan asked the ambassador, "Who is bigger, Han or me?" Later, when the Han envoy returned to Chang 'an, he passed Yelang, and the monarch of Yelang also raised the same question. This common story later evolved into a household idiom. This idiom has been widely popular in the Qing Dynasty. Pu Songling, a famous writer in the early Qing Dynasty, wrote in "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio: Jiang Fei": "The crazy cloud of driving a cannon car makes you arrogant. Relying on the greed of wolves, I am full of respect for Hebo. " The representative novel "Evil Sea Flower", which was written in the late Guangxu period, wrote in the 24th chapter: "Hungry tigers think about fighting, and arrogant yelang is arrogant. If China doesn't make a big attack, it will be discouraged by the empty words of other countries, where will he be willing to submit?"

idiom analysis:
explanation: Yelang: a small country in the southwest of Han Dynasty. Metaphor is ignorance and arrogance.
from "Historical Records Biography of Southwest Yi": "The king of Yunnan and the messenger of Han said,' Who is the greater in Han?' And the same is true of Yelang Hou. The Tao is impassable, so each thinks that he is a state owner and does not know the vast number of Han people.
Interpretation: The King of Yunnan and the envoy of the Han Dynasty said, "Which is bigger than the Han Dynasty and China?" The messenger of the Han Dynasty arrived in Yelang, and Yelang also raised such a question. This is because the road is impassable, and each thinks that he is the master of a state and does not know the vastness of the Han Dynasty.
