叶生 蒲松龄
淮阳叶生者，失其名字。文章词赋，冠绝当时，而所遇不偶，困于名场。会关东丁乘鹤来令是邑，见其文，奇之，召与语，大悦。使即官署受灯火，时赐钱谷恤其家。值科试，公游扬于学使，遂领冠军。公期望綦切，闱后索文读之，击节称叹。不意时数限人，文章憎命，及放榜时，依然铩羽。生嗒丧而归，愧负知己，形销骨立，痴若木偶。公闻，召之来而慰之；生零涕不已。公怜之，相期考满入都，携与俱北。生甚感佩。辞而归，杜门不出。无何寝疾。公遗问不绝，而服药百裹，殊罔所效。
公适以忤上官免，将解任去。函致之，其略云：“仆东归有日，所以迟迟者，待足下耳。足下朝至，则仆夕发矣。”传之卧榻。生持书啜泣，寄语来使：“疾革难遽瘥，请先发。”使人返白。公不忍去，徐待之。
逾数日，门者忽通叶生至。公喜，迎而问之。生曰：“以犬马病，劳夫子久待，万虑不宁。今幸可从杖履。”公乃束装戒旦。抵里，命子师事生，夙夜与俱。公子名再昌，时年十六，尚不能文。然绝慧，凡文艺三两过，辄无遗忘。居之期岁，便能落笔成文。益之公力，遂入邑痒。生以生平所拟举业悉录授读，闱中七题，并无脱漏，中亚魁。公一日谓生曰：“君出余绪，遂使孺子成名。然黄钟长弃若何！”生曰：“是殆有命！借福泽为文章吐气，使天下人知半生沦落，非战之罪也，愿亦足矣。且士得一人知己可无憾，何必抛却白纻，乃谓之利市哉！”公以其久客，恐误岁试，劝令归省。生惨然不乐，公不忍强，嘱公子至都为之纳粟。公子又捷南宫，授部中主政，携生赴监，与共晨夕。逾岁，生入北闱，竟领乡荐。会公子差南河典务，因谓生曰：“此去离贵乡不远。先生奋迹云霄，锦还为快。”生亦喜。择吉就道，抵淮阳界，命仆马送生归。
见门户萧条，意甚悲恻。逡巡至庭中，妻携簸具以出，见生，掷具骇走。生凄然曰：“今我贵矣！三四年不觌，何遂顿不相识？”妻遥谓曰：“君死已久，何复言贵？所以久淹君柩者，以家贫子幼耳。今阿大亦已成立，将卜窀穸，勿作怪异吓生人。”生闻之，怃然惆怅。逡巡入室，见灵柩俨然，扑地而灭。妻惊视之，衣冠履舄如蜕委焉。大恸，抱衣悲哭。子自塾中归，见结驷于门，审所自来，骇奔告母。母挥涕告诉。又细询从者，始得颠末。从者返，公子闻之，涕堕垂膺。即命驾哭诸其室；出橐为营丧，葬以孝廉礼。又厚遗其子，为延师教读。言于学使，逾年游泮。
异史氏曰：“魂从知己竟忘死耶？闻者疑之，余深信焉。同心倩女，至离枕上之魂；千里良朋，犹识梦中之路。而况茧丝蝇迹，吐学士之心肝；流水高山，通我曹之性命者哉！嗟乎！遇合难期，遭逢不偶。行踪落落，对影长愁；傲骨嶙嶙，搔头自爱。叹面目之酸涩，来鬼物之揶揄。频居康了之中，则须发之条条可丑；一落孙山之外，则文章之处处皆疵。古今痛哭之人，卞和惟尔；颠倒逸群之物，伯乐伊谁？抱刺于怀，三年灭字，侧身以望，四海无家。人生世上，只须合眼放步，以听造物之低昂而已。天下之昂藏沦落如叶生者，亦复不少，顾安得令威复来而生死从之也哉？噫！”
Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at solotopaz added more pages I will mention to them, recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.
Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at halbrook extended that enthusiasm, the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.
Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to heronfoil earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.
Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at siennathrift continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.
Skipped the social share buttons but might come back to actually use one later, and a stop at syruptarot extended that share urge, content that triggers genuine sharing impulses rather than performative ones is content that has actually moved me and not many posts in a typical week do that for me actually.
Как выстроить внутреннюю перелинковку, когда ведётся SEO продвижение молодого сайта?
A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at tigerteacup continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.
Appreciated how the post felt complete without overstaying its welcome, and a stop at subletviper confirmed that economical approach runs across the site, knowing when to stop is a skill many writers never develop but here the discipline is obvious and welcome from the perspective of a busy reader trying to learn things efficiently.
Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at crowncovemerchantgallery extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.
Walked away with a clearer head than I had before reading this, and a quick visit to siriussuperb only sharpened that, the writing has a way of cutting through the noise that surrounds most topics online which is something I will definitely remember the next time I am searching for an answer to anything.
If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at snippetvamp reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.
Appreciate the work that went into laying this out so clearly, every section earns its place without filler, and a look at hanrim confirmed the same care, definitely the kind of place that deserves a return visit when the topic comes up again later in the future or for any related question.
Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at herongait confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch, density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.
Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at stereotarot was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.
Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at crystalcovemerchantgallery continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.
Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at senatetrench extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.
Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at stencilslick produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.
Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at uptonshade produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.
Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at tealsilver was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.
Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at herongrip produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.
Reading this prompted a brief but useful conversation with a colleague who happened to walk by, and a stop at hazmug extended that conversational seed, content that becomes a starting point for in person discussion rather than ending in solitary reading is content with social generative energy and this site has plenty of it apparently.
Now understanding why someone recommended this site to me a while back, and a stop at turbansample explained the recommendation, sometimes recommendations make sense only after experience and this site has finally clicked into place as the kind of resource I now understand was being recommended for sound editorial reasons by my friend.
Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at driftorchardmerchantgallery extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at syruptunic carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.
Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at seriftackle drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.
Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at sectorsatin continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.
Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at vincasinger held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.
If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at heronhilt extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at tarmacstork reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.
Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at dunemeadowcommercegallery continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.
Without overstating it this is a quietly excellent post, and a look at junipercovemerchantgallery extended that quiet excellence, content that earns superlatives without demanding them through marketing language is content that has truly earned them through the substance and this site has clearly produced work in that earned excellence category today.
Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me, and a stop at hekarc continued displaying that sensibility, content that reveals editorial choices through accumulated reading is content with structural quality and this site has clearly developed an underlying approach worth identifying through multiple sessions of reading.
Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at slacktally carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.
Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at shoreviper reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.
Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at smeltstraw extended that enthusiasm, the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.
A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at surgetarmac continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.
Nice and clean, that is the best way to describe the writing here, no clutter and no wasted words, and a quick visit to echoharborcommercegallery kept that going, I appreciate when a site treats its readers like people who can think for themselves without needing constant hand holding through every paragraph.
The clarity here is something I really appreciate, especially compared to sites that pile on jargon for no reason, and a look at slippersixth was the same, simple direct sentences that actually deliver information instead of dancing around the point for paragraphs at a time which wastes reader patience.
Now setting up a small reminder to revisit the site on a slow day, and a stop at heronjoust confirmed the reminder was a good idea, planning return visits is a small organisational act that signals trust in ongoing quality and this site has earned that planned return through consistent performance across the pieces I have read so far.
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at tinklesaddle confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.
Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at taigascenic furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.
Found a small mental shift after reading this, the framing here is just a bit different from the standard takes online, and a look at lavenderharborcommercegallery extended that fresh perspective across more material, the rare site whose voice actually changes how you think about something rather than just confirming existing beliefs.
A clear cut above the usual noise on the subject, and a look at heyaro only made that gap wider in my view, the kind of place that earns its visitors through quality rather than through aggressive marketing or sponsored placements which is increasingly the only way most sites stay afloat across the modern web.
Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at tundraturtle reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.
Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at shorevolume did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.
Felt the post handled a sensitive angle of the topic with appropriate care, and a look at turtleudon extended that careful handling across related material, sites that can navigate delicate territory without causing damage are rare and require a level of judgement that comes from experience rather than from following any clear playbook.
A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at waveharbormerchantgallery suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.
Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at elmharbormerchantgallery confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.
Now adding this to a list of sites I want to see flourish, and a stop at hickorygrid reinforced that wish, the few sites I actively root for are sites that produce the kind of work I want more of in the world and this one has joined that small list based on what I have read so far.
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at vectortimber keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.
