Oh mein God .Als ein Chinise kann ich auch nicht sehr gut verstehen. Sie sind die sehr alten Büchernamen.Und die Ausdrücke in der Bücher wird heutezutage nicht mehr benutzt Ich habe in der Schule schon ein bisschen gelernt ,aber nicht genug für Antworten deiner Frage. Du brauchst einen Professor im chinisichbereich. Wo hast du diesen Text gefunden

Sweet heart, i don't think anyone on this website can help you. this is ancient chinese, even a chinese person can not understand it very well. you need an expert. sorry

.....You kill me, please, lol. I just wanna tell you that this text you give is an ancient article, and even most of Chinese can NOT understand it. Furthermore much less guys can translate it. So don't worry about it. You can not understand it, but it doesn't mean your Chinese is not good :) By the way, I can not understand it either without any dictionary, probably I am from Mars :P

haha u really dont hav to worry about this. i was major in Chinese Literature and I was as confused as everyone at the first glance. however Gwen answered well! Anyway, the meaning of that paragraphes just proofing the authentic author, and quoting from some books to prove it. And that's all :)

I think the most hard part is the name of author and name of place. For example, I don't know where is Zhyua. As a Taiwanese, we normaly learned the biggest event of offical dynasties of China; normally, the most important dynasties will show on list of text book. So, the Jin Dynasty is not an important period compared with Tang or Han. Thus, I need to check wiki. But, really, this paragraph is not difficult. There is only one information that the author wanna say. Other parts are all biography to provid: this is true. So, the actien education is very serious in literature references writing in Chinese system.
