Bai Juyi?
There is a wooden name Lingxiao, and Xiu is not an isolated label;
I relied on a tree, so I drew a hundred feet.
Roots are connected to trees, and flowers are sent to treetops;
Claiming to have its potential, there is no reason to shake.
Once the tree is destroyed, it floats independently temporarily;
The gale starts in the east, but it never ends.
Clouds in the morning and firewood at night;
No weak school Miao.
Youmu Poetry is a set of fable poems, with eight poems in total. In the preface, the poet said: "After reading the Biography of Han History, ... I also saw those who were attached to power and then fell. At the beginning, there were moving materials that were enough to confuse the public and charm the Lord, so they failed at the beginning. Because of the popularity of the wind and poets, I gave eight chapters of Youmu, which satirized my predecessors and wanted to be a teacher! "
When the poet was reading the history books, he saw many courtiers, or he was speechless. He welcomed him. Or confuse up and down, alienate the monarch and his subjects; Or attached to power, domineering; Or duplicity, Seren. At the beginning, they all had outstanding materials, which were enough to confuse everyone and flatter the Lord, so that they were arrogant for a while, but in the end they were inevitably ruined. The poet felt this, so he wrote eight poems on the wood, which not only satirized the predecessors, but also warned future generations to avoid repeating the same mistakes. The song chosen here satirizes the "people who are attached to power and degenerate", and uses Xiao Hua's name to describe those who will inevitably end in failure through various despicable means. The first sentence of this poem points out that it sings Ling Xiao. This flower can't be said to be beautiful. It is tall and straight, but it is not proud and independent. But "I lean against a tree, so I draw a hundred feet". The poet decorated "I" with the word "I", indicating that as long as there is a backer, he will go with the flow and draw long branches. These four sentences describe the nature of Camptotheca acuminata attached to branches. The next four sentences further show this nature, saying that its roots are connected to the trunk, flowers bloom on the treetops, and it sticks tightly. Once in power, you will be complacent and narcissistic, thinking that nothing can shake it in this life. The third paragraph says that once the tree is destroyed, Ling Xiao's life can't last all morning, even if he can stand on his own feet, it is temporary and vacillating. This is the inevitable result of clinging to other things. The last four sentences are a summary, lamenting that Cinnamomum camphora, which once climbed high into the clouds, suddenly became firewood abandoned on the ground. The poet earnestly warned people to take this as a warning, not to be weak and not to be attached to others. ?
The theme of this poem is very clear, but the poet shows it through the portrayal of images, and his thoughts are imperceptibly hidden in the images. Although the last sentence "Don't want weak school Miao" directly exhorts people to stand on their own feet and not cling to tall branches, so as not to die with them, most of the words in the poem are used to describe various forms of Camptotheca acuminata. The description of the big flower and the happy tree conforms to the characteristics of the flower itself from prosperity to decline, and at the same time, it is properly used to symbolize those villains who cling to power, high position, greedy for small profits, complacent, and finally bring about their own destruction, thus reflecting the poet's tendency of mixed praise and criticism. The metaphor is appropriate, without revealing the trace of axe and chisel, vivid and educational.
