Medicine for bereavement and Buddhism: A young man's poem "Looking at the Sea"

See the sea

Cao Cao (Late Han Dynasty)

On the east coast, climb Jieshi Mountain to see the vast sea.

The sea is so vast that the islands stand high on the sea.

Trees and paraquat are very lush. Autumn wind makes trees make sad sounds, and the sea is surging.

The movement of the sun and the moon seems to come from the vast ocean.

Journey to the sun and the moon, if you go out.

Han is a talented star, if you take him by surprise.

Fortunately, even! Sing with ambition.

Poet: Cao Cao, whose real name is Meng De, is from Geely, fine print and Peiguoqiao County (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was an outstanding politician, strategist, writer and calligrapher, and the founder of the Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao conquered all directions in the name of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, wiped out the separatist forces such as Er Yuan, Lu Bu, Liu Biao and Han Sui at home, surrendered the southern Xiongnu, Wu Huan and Xianbei abroad, unified the northern part of China, and implemented a series of policies to restore economic production and social order, which laid the foundation for the founding of Cao Wei.

Jian' an literature: Cao Cao is good at writing poems, expressing his political ambitions, reflecting the tragic life of the people in the late Han Dynasty, magnificent, generous and sad; Prose is also neat, which opens and prospers Jian 'an literature and leaves precious spiritual wealth to future generations, which is called Jian 'an style in history. At the same time, Cao Cao is good at calligraphy, especially at carving grass. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Huaiguan named it a "wonderful flower" at the end of Shu.

Background: In the 12th year of Jian 'an (AD 207), Cao Cao personally led a great army to the north to hunt down the remnants of Yuan Shang and Yuan. He swore the Northern Expedition in May and left Lulongzhai in July to Jieshi Mountain. He climbed the mountain and looked at the sea. Facing the surging sea, he wrote this magnificent poem.

Cao Cao climbed Jieshi Mountain on his way back to Wuhuan Northern Expedition. Wuhuan was a great disaster in Northeast China at that time. In the 11th year of Jian 'an (AD 206), Wu Huan conquered Youzhou and captured more than 100,000 Han people. In the same year, Yuan Shang and Yuan, the sons of Yuan Shao, colluded with Ta Dun, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and repeatedly harassed the border, so that Cao Cao had to resolutely decide to conquer Wuhuan in the 12th year of Jian 'an (AD 207). Later, under the guidance of Tian Chou, he used tricks. Cao Cao finally won a decisive victory in the great war in August this year. This victory consolidated Cao Cao's rear areas and laid the foundation for the next year's conquest of the south, with a view to realizing the grand aspiration of reunifying China. Linking the events before and after, we can see how important a war Cao Cao's northern expedition to Wu Huan was. "Looking at the Sea" is about the time when Wu Huan, who won the Northern Expedition, crossed Jieshi Mountain and returned to Li. ? As a deputy commander, Cao Cao climbed Jieshi, which was also visited by many emperors and Hanwu. When the autumn wind was bleak, his mood was as difficult as the sea. He integrated his grand ambition and broad mind into his poems and expressed it through the image of the sea.

Appreciation of famous sentences: "A trip to the sun and the moon, if out of its territory. Xinghan is brilliant, if it is unexpected. " With rich imagination, the poet described the magnificent spirit and broad mind of the sea embracing the sun and the moon. It can best express the poet's broad mind and ambition to unify China.

The feeling of reading aloud:

Jason Wu, a historian in the Tang Dynasty, wrote "Ancient Poems of Yuefu": Jieshi is in the east, the sea is vast, and the sun and the moon are in and out;

Appreciation of Zhang's ancient poems: this ambition is tolerance, but it is better than the sea;

Shen Deqian, a poet in Qing Dynasty: Cao Cao's poem "Domineering".

Describe the relevant experience: watching the sea is especially suitable for young people to read, which may be the characteristic of this poem. The editor of junior high school Chinese textbooks, especially Professor Wen Rumin, the editor-in-chief, thinks: "The children raised by ancient poetry have won the starting line and pattern!" Therefore, the first ancient poem in junior middle school Chinese textbooks is Looking at the Sea, which shows great boldness of vision and broad mind. It is not only the hope for contemporary young people, but also the inheritance of China literati spirit.

Reading this poem aloud in the morning will unconsciously increase your tone of speeding up reading, as if there are thousands of turbulent waves pouring out of your chest and surging for a long time, which will certainly arouse your inner blood ambition.

In popular language, it is a special "Secondary Two", which is also the characteristic of teenagers.

My application:

In tedious work, the most important thing is to kill one's mind. The massive information on the mobile phone quickly consumes valuable attention and loses a sense of balance in work and life, which is particularly sad, especially Buddhist. This is a bad state. Some people say it's a disease of the times. This is a lazy statement. Every era is the best, and the worst is the era. Every era has its own young people who lost Buddha, but there are also romantic Wei and Jin Dynasties, rural Tao Yuanming and Greek cynics.

The times should also have bloody ambition, magnanimity and broad mind, which requires subtle edification and education.

Reading poetry is an antidote to mourning, and the surging spiritual power in poetry can resist the entropy in reality.

Writing a poem every day may be the medicine that Mr. Lu Xun is looking for!
