《寒窑赋》 / Hanyao Fu

Overview

《寒窑赋》 / Hanyao Fu enters the wiki through Hanji 733-3 as a compact classical-style text about fate, timing, reversals of fortune, and conduct in poverty or success.

Current Profile

The source presents the work as a widely transmitted admonitory text attributed to 吕蒙正. Its argument is built from antithesis: natural changes, animal examples, historical figures, poverty and wealth, youth and old age, and gentleman versus petty-person circumstances all show that visible outcome is not a clean measure of virtue or capacity.

In this wiki, the text is treated as a source-scoped object rather than a verified textual tradition. The episode names it through transcript forms 《韩遥赋》 and 《破遥赋》, then says it is also called 《劝世章》. The page normalizes the likely received title as 《寒窑赋》 while preserving uncertainty about attribution, version history, and exact title forms.

Key Characteristics

• The work is presented as an aphoristic fate-and-fortune text organized around compact contrasts and memorable maxims.
• Its core claim is that timing and external conditions mediate talent, virtue, ambition, and success.
• The text uses historical examples less as biography than as a pattern language for life-course reversal and social mismatch.
• Its practical ethic is two-sided: keep dignity and composure in adversity, and keep humility and restraint in prosperity.
• Its title, variant titles, and attribution remain source-scoped because the episode does not independently examine textual history.

Evidence

• Aphoristic text profile: Hanji 733-3 calls the work a “传颂千古” text and builds the episode around reciting its compact lines.
• Timing-and-condition claim: Hanji 733-3 emphasizes the line that high ambition cannot succeed without 运 and repeats historical examples where ability does not control outcome.
• Conduct ethic: Hanji 733-3 highlights the admonition that prosperity should not be exhausted and poverty should not become self-deception.
• Attribution caution: Hanji 733-3 attributes the piece to Lyu Mengzheng but gives no textual-critical argument for the attribution.

Qualifications

The page does not verify the work’s authorship, earliest version, or exact title history. The episode’s ASR-derived source note renders the title as 《韩遥赋》 and variant title as 《破遥赋》; this page normalizes to 《寒窑赋》 and 《破窑赋》 because the content and attributed-author frame point to that received text cluster, but the normalization remains cautious.

What Changed

• Created a text entity for the episode’s main object.
• Preserved the title and attribution uncertainty instead of treating the episode’s received tradition as independently verified fact.
