Translating a paragraph would be great too, I'm really grateful! The compilation of the general code, in fact, adopted the opinions of the masses, collected all kinds of personnel, will implement the government. The first thing to do is to educate people, and the foundation of education is to have enough food and clothing. It is easy to call gathering people wealth. Hongfan's eight policies, one is food, the other is goods. Guan Zhong said: The granary really knows etiquette, food and clothing enough to know honor and disgrace. Confucius said: rich and educated. That's it. The implementation of enlightenment lies in the establishment of official positions, the establishment of official positions lies in the examination of official talents, the examination of official talents lies in the selection of officials, the formulation of etiquette to correct customs, the establishment of music to harmonize people's hearts, this is the magnanimity of the sage kings to govern the world. Therefore, after the establishment of official positions, etiquette and music should be carried out, and after the destruction of education, punishment should be imposed. The prefectures and counties should be set up to control them separately, and the border defense should be set up to stop the enemy. Therefore, food and goods are the first, election is the second, official positions are the second, etiquette is the second, music is the second, punishment is the second, prefectures and counties are the second, and border defense is the last. Some people who read it can understand the meaning of the chapter. Before Tang Yu, there was no detailed investigation, but the clothes were not straight, the five grades were not clean, the marriage was not distinguished, the funeral ceremony was not fixed, and there was no difference between human beings and animals. Therefore Mencius said,"The common people get rid of them, but the superior man keeps them." Shun's understanding of human relations and observation of all things, which is the same as that of Tang Yao and Yu Shun, is the same as that of the common people. There are signs in the same qi, let alone in the world? As for the end of the three generations, it is especially clear. In the era of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, the indulgence of Chaoge and the debauchery of the southern countries were also very ugly. King Zhou's crimes were listed as "gathering in the abyss for fugitives". They were all owls and jackals who betrayed their kings and sons betrayed their fathers. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were thirty-three people who killed the king and three people who killed their fathers. The father and son of the ministers and officials killed each other, the brothers killed each other, and the relatives and friends of the relatives and friends were destroyed. There was no country and no year. The emperor's revenge was not afraid, and the goods were not satisfied. They became more and more popular in the government and the people. Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Period, and the rebels began to fear. He deleted the poems and books, formulated the rites and music, and the Taoist skills began to be clear. In this way, it is difficult to govern the people of Tang and Yu dynasties, but it is easy to govern the people of later generations.

I'm not a hero, but I can try to help you translate these two passages of classical Chinese. The first paragraph was as follows: Pang You's Poem Creation Pang You, the creator of the poem, listened to the poem and thought of life. Every time he listened to a poem, he would read it in full until the climax. He was so nervous that he forgot himself. Every time you read a poem, you must read its background, the Context, and the story of the classics before you can explain it. Every time I think about life, I must read poetry and prose to think about its meaning and understand its philosophy. Therefore, the creator of Pang You's poems regards listening to poems as the experience of life and thinking about life as the experience. The second paragraph was as follows: Enigmatic Literature Enigmas are riddles of literature. Every time I read an article, I must enigma its literature, enigma its author, enigma its era. Every time I read an article, I will enigma its thoughts, enigma its culture, enigma its classics. Every time I think about literature, I must enigma its controversy, enigma its experience, enigma its value. Therefore, riddle writers regard riddles as the realm of literature and riddles as the essence of culture.
