Recently, I have started to enlighten my children on traditional Chinese studies. I take them to read the "Three Character Classic", "Disciple Rules" and "Rhythm Enlightenment" every day. Of course, ancient poems are also essential, such as "Silent Night Thoughts" by Li Bai and "King Luo Bin". "Ode to the Goose" by Du Fu, "Quatrains" by Du Fu, etc.
Although I have read and memorized many ancient poems since I was a child, I found after reading "The Biography of Du Fu" that I knew very little about the poet. Among poets, I quite like Su Dongpo.
But every poet is worthy of our reading. For example, Du Fu is one of us ordinary people. He is very real and very close to our lives. Feng Zhi's "The Biography of Du Fu" allowed me to step into Du Fu and understand Du Fu's life.
Regarding Du Fu, many people are familiar with his name, but few people know about his life. We only know about his patriotism, but we never know that he also had his frivolous moments.
When Du Fu was born, it was during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and the Kaiyuan Festival was still going on. Unfortunately, he lost his mother when he was young, so he could only grow up in his aunt's house, but he was loved by her aunt.
When people mention the sword dance of the Kaiyuan era, they will definitely mention Gongsun. Gongsun and swords are almost inseparable, just like Zhang Xuzhi's cursive script at that time and Wu Daoxuan's murals at that time. In 717 (the fifth year of Kaiyuan), Du Fu lived in Yancheng with his family, and he got the opportunity to watch the sword Hunduo danced by this famous master.
At this time, Du Fu was also quoted by local seniors. He often visited the residences of Li Fan, the king of Qi, who was proficient in music, and Cui Di, Xuanzong's favorite. He got the opportunity to hear the world-famous Li Gui again and again. The song of the year. It can be said that when he was growing up in Luoyang, he saw a lot and broadened his horizons.
He grew up in Gong County, Luoyang, and felt the inclusiveness of Taiyuan's prosperous age. In this atmosphere, he studied poetry in his early years. In addition to accepting the poetry method of his grandfather Du Shenyan, he also had a strong family atmosphere and read. He has written tens of thousands of volumes, and his writings are like a spirit. In the circle of Luoyang, his poems have spread and been praised by many famous people.
The ancients said that "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles" is right. In his youth, Du Fu experienced 10 years of wandering. During the long journey of studying, I not only gained more knowledge, but also made friends with famous people. Jiangnan has relatives of Du Fu serving as officials. Jiangnan is rich and prosperous. It is also the ancient capital of the Southern Dynasties. It is really a good place for study tours.
In addition to Jiangnan, there is also a place where his father is a Sima. In this land of Qi and Zhao, he has good horses and beautiful clothes, so he gallops and hunts to his heart's content. On this endless plain, he is left "debauched Qi" "Zhao Jian, Qiu Ma is quite crazy" joke. Thirty-year-old Du Fu ended his ten-year wandering period. Throughout his life, he had a happy childhood and youth.
Only after experiencing many beautiful and majestic mountains and rivers, and personally experiencing the culture of Jiangnan and Shandong, can I finally write a poem like "Wang Yue". "How is Dai Zongfu? Qilu is still young.
The clock of creation is beautiful, the yin and yang cut off the dusk.
The clouds grow in the chest, and the birds return to the canthus.
When I reach the top, I can see all the small mountains at a glance. "
This poem shows the ambition of a young man who is not afraid of difficulties and dares to climb. It shows his perseverance and lofty political ambitions. .
But the prosperous times will eventually pass, and the political power will be handed over to Zhongshu Ling Li Linfu. Li Linfu is a conspirator with "a sweet talk and a sword". The treacherous ministers wield power, and the people bear the great pain of conscription. The people are cruelly exploited by paying taxes and serving in the army.
In an era of political corruption, border failures, and declining people's livelihood, as well as the Anshi Rebellion, he spent most of his time in exile. As he grew older, various physical illnesses continued to plague him. Gradually he became a disabled old man, but he still cared about his family, country and world.
Even the British BBC quietly launched a new documentary "Du Fu: China's Greatest Poet" to show Chinese history and culture to British audiences.
Du Fu was born into an official family of the upper class and was an out-and-out "child of high-ranking cadres." Traveling around the world, a few years have passed since the days when children from rich families traveled around the mountains and rivers and went wild.
But after the war broke out, Du Fu's family situation plummeted, and he began a life of wandering.
When the country is in turmoil, the people will be displaced. Although he is talented, he has also tasted all the bitterness and suffering in the world. Some people say: "His poems are called "poetic history" because they contain the country and the people, thoughts and laments about the world and current situation, and also concern and compassion for the bottom class of society."
Du Fu himself felt the suffering of the world personally, and people preferred people who could understand them, which led to his poems being passed down to this day. "Song of Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind", living in a thatched house, strong winds destroyed the house, and heavy rains came one after another, but still had a heart of great love, hoping that people can live in a spacious house, even if it encounters wind and rain, Moved, as stable as a mountain.
This kind of compassion has become a famous poem passed down through the ages. The ambition contained in Du Fu's poetry, the charm of his thoughts and emotions are still deeply infectious. It can cross races and transcend cultural differences, and it has become a popular IP in this era.
After reading through Du Fu’s life, I couldn’t help but sigh like this: Matsushita Konosuke “People must have grand ideals and lofty ambitions when they are alive.”
When I was a child, people asked me, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" I once replied, "I want to be a teacher." Many years later, I became a kindergarten teacher. As children, we are all taught by our parents or teachers to have high aspirations.
If people have a lofty ambition, they will work hard for it. However, there are many adults or children who only talk about ambition and do not take it seriously at all. .
Many people do not have any lofty ambitions, they just want to be admitted to college and have a stable job to make a living. But when we have no goals, we tend to become slack, and we are no longer self-disciplined and active in life. We live a hazy life, with time passing through our fingers in comfort. When we come back to our senses, we find that we have wasted most of our lives. time.
When you have great ambitions, you will spend your time on meaningful things. You will not be easily confused by external desires, nor will you be intimidated by temporary difficulties, just like climbing a mountain. , because the goal is to reach the top, and difficulties can always be overcome and all distractions eliminated in the process of climbing mountains. Have strong will and courage.
Especially when educating children, as parents, it is really necessary to guide and help their children to establish a lofty ambition that suits them. This is more important than how much money is spent on tutoring classes.
Compared with how many ancient poems a child has learned, it is far more important to learn to recognize a few characters and establish a correct concept and mentality for the child than to memorize blog posts. I remember once reading Cai Xiaowan, the so-called "Talent Magician", mentioned in her parenting tips that children should be determined from an early age.
Su Shi: Those who accomplished great things in ancient times not only had extraordinary talents, but also had perseverance. Because of this educational philosophy, Cai Xiaowan’s children are all outstanding, including the youngest tenured professor at the University of Pennsylvania and the youngest associate professor in the history of the Department of Biostatistics at Harvard University.
"Be determined from an early age" actually means cultivating children's mind, magnanimity, courage, and lofty values ??from an early age. The so-called "ambition" is the sum of a person's mind, magnanimity, courage and values. It is a measure of a person's greatness or mediocrity. It is the most important aspect of a person's overall quality. Most parents must pay attention to their children’s aspirational education.
Regarding family tradition, the medieval period from the Han and Wei dynasties to the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties was an important period in the construction of family tradition in ancient China, and great emphasis was placed on family tradition and family learning.
Du Fu's poem "Zong Wu's Birthday" is an important poem that teaches Zong Wu to compose poems and also embodies Du Fu's literary inheritance: When will I meet you, Gao Qiu was born on this day. Since the city dialect, it has been associated with my husband's name. Poetry is my family's business, and it is passed down from person to person in the world. If you are familiar with the selected literature and theory, you can stop looking for colorful clothes. At the beginning of the banquet, I couldn't sit down and sit sideways. The flowing clouds are divided into pieces, and the trickle is flowing slowly.
"Poetry is my family's business." Du Fu's family is a literary family, and his grandfather Du Shenyan was a great poet who was one of the "Four Friends of Articles" in the early Tang Dynasty. Du Shenyan was best at five-rhymed poetry and had a great influence on Du Fu.
The influence of family culture is the best environment for children to grow up. In ancient China, it is easy to inherit family education, such as "Cao Cao, and his sons Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, known as the "Three Caos" in history. , are both famous writers; Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are both world-famous for their calligraphy.
Family tradition and family tradition are the foundation of a family, so parents are their children’s best teachers. Family is the best environment for children to grow up.
Psychologist Satya said: "A person is inextricably linked to his family of origin, and the way parents get along is how they learn. mode. ”
Paying attention to precepts and deeds as well as environmental guidance, the seeds carefully watered in this kind of family tradition will not disappoint people. Because Du Fu lived in a literary family, he was very accomplished in poetry. , known as the "Poetry Saint" by later generations.
People often say that parents love their children with profound plans to create a good family tradition and pass it on to the times.
Recently, children always learn to use swear words like adults. When other children come to the house as guests, they don’t say “goodbye, welcome back next time” before leaving. "Reflect on yourself, the first step in educating children is to cultivate their upbringing and etiquette.
For children, imitate the words and deeds of adults. For parents, they must give correct guidance and also Standardize your words and deeds and let your children know what is right and wrong.
There is an old saying that "live until you are old and learn until you are old". As parents, you should set an example for your children and keep learning and reflecting. Parents who are constantly growing up set a good example for their children.
Parents need to carefully create a good family tradition, which will be a lifelong asset for their children.
