Now, I sing this melodious melody with my children again. This poem seems to have a kind of magic, and the children are deeply attracted.
Outside the pavilion, on the ancient road, we said goodbye faintly. At the end of the grass, our friends never looked back, only the sunset shone on the mountain, silently. I don't know if I can see you again. I borrowed a pot of turbid wine to water my dreams.
The creation background of this poem, some people say that it was written by Li Shutong to bid farewell to his friends, others say that it was adapted from the song "Dream of Home and Mother" by an American composer, and others say that it was Li Shutong's last poem before he became a monk, and it was also a farewell to himself.
Perhaps it was a lot of feelings that made him create this poem, which has been sung so far and is deeply loved by adults and children.
However, Li Shutong's artistic attainments throughout his life are really admirable, leaving countless treasures in the long river of history. Both Li Shutong and Master Hongyi had an indelible influence on China's art.
Literature, calligraphy, painting, piano, drama, Buddhism, can be said to be proficient in everything.
Born in Tianjin, a noble family, well-off, never worried about their livelihood. The superior family environment and good education he received since childhood brought him into contact with traditional culture, but he was also influenced by western culture. In his foreign study, there was a rare piano at that time.
/kloc-at the age of 0/0, he wrote such a poem: "Life is like the sun in the western hills, and wealth is like frost on the grass."
Perhaps it was this understanding that laid the foundation for Li Shutong's later life.
He who sees through the world of mortals escapes into Buddhism.
Sometimes, it's really hard to imagine that this rich boy's constantly chauffeured, who likes poetry and songs, likes painting operas, was so excited for the first time when he was young, and turned out to be a player Yang, and later wrote lyrics to commemorate him:
He has also dated many women, including Shanghai famous prostitutes Li Pingxiang and Xie, language center owner Zhu and old prostitute Gao Cuie. . . . . .
Later, I met a close friend who was studying in Japan, and later I married him and brought him back to China. This Japanese woman, whose name is unknown, returned to China after becoming a monk in Li Shutong. Although she struggled with tears, she could not stop her from converting to Buddhism.
And who is the friend who sent a song "Farewell"?
And from Li Shutong to Shanghai.
Because of the political reform, the second brother was afraid of being implicated, so Li Shutong took his wife and mother to Shanghai.
Shanghai, a big city, is a beautiful place. Here, Li Shutong still doesn't have to worry about his life, because he is still a charming and rich constantly chauffeured, backed by his own bank.
What he pursues is still his favorite literature and art, so he entered the "Chengnan Literature Society" and made several lifelong friends.
"Five Friends at the End of the World" also got its name. Now, the whole family moved to Xu Nancaotang and began the happiest and proudest years of their lives.
He wrote in a song "Qing Ping Le". Fantasy Garden for Xu:
This quiet and poetic time may be his happiest time. Later, Master Hongyi once said to Feng Zikai: "The five or six years between the ages of 20 and 26 were the happiest time in my life, and then I was constantly sad and sad until I became a monk."
Yes, always sad.
Worried about the country, the people and the world, the constant departure of relatives and friends, and the death of his mother also dealt a great blow to him.
In order to show his ambition, the turbulent situation in the country prevented him from showing his ambition. Later, I studied in Japan and introduced western paintings and dramas, but I couldn't give full play to them.
When I get home, I have to make a living by teaching and take care of my two wives and children.
The death of his mother and the departure of his friends also made him nervous.
However, the Revolution of 1911, the humiliating treaty and the ever-changing political situation have made intellectuals like Li Shutong more anxious.
At home in Shanghai, my friend Xu suddenly called. He came to Li Shutong to say goodbye, and he wanted to go to Beijing to talk to Yuan Shikai.
However, Xu did not enter the door. Li Shutong looked at his brother, his best friend. He used to learn skills from himself and did some unsuccessful things. He doesn't know how to persuade him. Perhaps, it is more of a helplessness, a desolation, and an unspeakable sadness.
After Xu left, his thin figure disappeared in the snow.
This life confidant left a lonely place for himself, and I don't know if I can meet you again.
Looking back, thousands of emotions are blocked in my chest, leaving only the cold of bone erosion and desolate cold.
So, thousands of sorrows turned into this "farewell":
Soul-stirring, thousands of times.
Human taste is pure happiness.
Perhaps after all this, Li Shutong saw through the world of mortals. In the first half of his life, he enjoyed all the prosperity and made all the efforts. In the end, it was empty, and sadness came from it.
"Life is flashy, and the spring soil is ups and downs; Zhu Hua is easy to die, and youth is no longer coming. "
