Zhengzhou International【走近郑州历史名人】胡令能

Located in the middle of heaven and earth, Zhengzhou is nurtured by the Yellow river. Since ancient times, herds of influential statesmen, thinkers, scientists and writers borned here. They either worked for the government or wrote books, highlighting their times with their insights, creations and ideas.

位居天地之中、黄河之滨的郑州，受大河哺育、“天中”滋养，自古以来就涌现出众多影响深远的政治家、思想家、科学家、文学家等各领域杰出人才，他们或为政一方，或著书立说，用自己的见解、创造和思想为所处时代打上了一片片“高光”。

 

Take copper as a mirror, one can be dressed; take people as a mirror,one can judge gains and losses. Maybe we will have new gains when we get close to these famous people in Zhengzhou's history again.

以铜为鉴，可以正衣冠; 以人为鉴，可以明得失。当我们再次走近郑州历史上的这些名人，或许会有新的收获。

 

 

Hu Lingneng was a poet of the Tang Dynasty. He was born in Zhongmou County, Zhengzhou, and lived in seclusion in the Putian area of today's Zhengdong New District.

胡令能是唐朝诗人，郑州中牟县人，隐居在今天的郑东新区圃田一带。

 

Putian was the hometown of Liezi. Hu Lingneng held Liezi in high esteem and often offered sacrifices to Liezi. Hu Lingneng was deeply influenced by Liezi and became a Taoist. Taking Liezi as an example, he would rather be free and unfettered in the world than work hard for official career fame to run.

圃田，是列子的家乡。胡令能对列子推崇备至，时常祭祀列子。胡令能深受列子的影响，成就了一副道家风骨。他宁可列子一样逍遥于世，也不愿意劳心劳力，为仕途功名去奔走。

 

Hu Lingneng grew up in a poor family. When he was young, he made a living repairing pots and pans. "Children's Fishing" was a well-known poem that was selected into the primary school in Chinese textbook written by Hu Lingneng.

胡令能自幼家贫，年轻时以修补锅碗盆缸为生。胡令能的《小儿垂钓》入选小学语文课本，是一首家喻户晓的诗歌。
