亭林遗书·与人书
顾炎武
君诗之病在于有杜，君文之病在于有韩、欧。有此蹊径于胸中，便终身不脱“依傍”二字，断不能登峰造极。
《亭林遗书》
A Letter to My Friend
Gu Yanwu
The defects in your poems and in your essays consist in the fact that one may detect an element of the influence of Du Fu in the former and of Han Yu and Ouyang Xiu in the latter. With such influence in your mind, you can hardly be free of certain dependence upon these authors, and can never expect to make the summit in your literary creation.
