Reading the Three Kingdoms: Everything in ancient and modern times is a joke.

"Everything in ancient and modern times is a joke" comes from the first paragraph of Yang Shen's ancient poem Linjiang Xian. The full text is as follows:

The Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away heroes. Whether it is right and wrong or failure, it is empty now and has disappeared with the passage of time. Castle Peak still exists, the sun still rises and the sunset still sets.

The white-haired hermit by the river has long been used to the changes of time. I met an old friend and had a drink. How many things in the past and how many years have been put into the conversation.

1, the last two sentences directly reveal that the "white-haired fisherman" is not an old man with no ink in his chest, but an aristocratic scholar with knowledge in ancient and modern times. He turned the right and wrong, grievances, success or failure, honor or disgrace of many heroes in ancient and modern times into talk that can help drunkenness; You can imagine the evaluation of ancient and modern characters in jokes, the breadth of mind and the boldness of vision.

As the Yangtze River rolls eastward, many heroes disappear like stormy waves. Whether it is right or wrong, or success or failure (the success of ancient and modern heroes), it is all empty and disappears with the passage of time. Green hills (mountains and rivers) still exist, and the sun still rises and sets. The white-haired hermit by the river has long been used to the change of time. It's rare to see old friends and have a drink. Many things through the ages have been put into the punch line.

This is a poem about history, which expresses feelings about life by describing the rise and fall of history. It is bold and implicit, lofty and profound. Linjiang Xianzi's calligraphy works are rolling east of the Yangtze River.

Judging from the whole word, the tone is generous and tragic, and the meaning is endless. It is sad to read and can't help but add thousands of feelings to my heart. This word not only makes readers feel desolate and tragic, but also creates an indifferent and quiet atmosphere, which embodies the lofty artistic conception and profound philosophy of life. The author tries to explore the eternal value in the long river of history and find a profound philosophy of life between success and failure, which has both a sense of historical rise and fall and a sense of ups and downs of life, reflecting a noble sentiment and broad-minded mind. When readers taste this word, it seems that it is not the water of the Yangtze River that is washed away, but the ruthless history; As if listening to a historical sigh, I am looking for the eternal value of life in the sigh.
