Liang Heng patted the railings all over this famous place
Plapped the railings all over Liang Heng
In Chinese history, he was born in the army and used force to start troubles. In the end, there was only one person who made literature his career and became a great poetry writer. This was Xin Qiji. This also destined his poetry and his uniqueness among literati and his unique position in history.
In the information I have seen, Xin Qiji has at least killed several people with sharp swords. He was born tall and tall, and he practiced swordsmanship hard since he was a child. He was born in the troubled times of the Jin and Song Dynasties, and was dissatisfied with the invasion and ravages of the Jin people. At the age of 22, he raised a rebel army of thousands of people, and later merged with the rebel army led by Geng Jing, and served as the secretary-general and in charge of seals. Once, a traitor was found in the rebel army, and he stole the seal and prepared to invest gold. Xin Qiji chased the thief alone for two days with a sharp sword in his hand, and on the third day he recovered a human head. In order to regain his great cause, he persuaded Geng Jing to return south and went south to Lin'an to contact him personally. Unexpectedly, he would become ill again in just a few days. When he returned from completing his mission, his generals rebelled and Geng Jing was killed. Xin was so angry that he jumped on his horse and crossed his sword. He led a few cavalry into the enemy camp to capture the rebel general alive. He then ran thousands of miles and escorted him to Lin'an for justice. He also led ten thousand people south to return to the Song Dynasty. To put it bluntly, when he did this feat, he was just a heroic young man, full of vigor and vitality, and wanted to kill the bandits and regain the lost territory for the imperial court.
But things in this world cannot come true. After returning to the south, he immediately lost his sword and steel, and only had a soft brush left in his hand. He no longer had the chance to rush to the battlefield, splattering his shirt with blood. Instead, he could only write like a dragon and snake, and shed tears on the rice paper. Leaving behind a series of tragic cries, regretful sighs and helpless self-mockery for history.
It should be said that Xin Qiji's words were not written with a pen, but carved with knives and swords. He remains in history and his own poetry as a battlefield hero and patriotic general. Thousands of years later, when we reread his works today, we still feel a sense of awe-inspiring murderousness and majestic power. For example, this famous song "Broken Array": When I was drunk, I lit up the lamp and watched the sword. I dreamed of blowing the trumpet in the company camp. Eight hundred miles away, my subordinates were burning, and the sound of fifty strings was played outside the Great Wall. Autumn brings troops to the battlefield. The horse's movements are swift, and the bow's bow is as frightening as a thunderbolt. Finish the affairs of the king and the world, and win the reputation both before and after him. Misfortune happens in vain.
I dare to say boldly that, apart from Wu Sheng Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong", this poem can be compared with it. Among the literati in China for five thousand years, it is difficult to find another poem as good as this. A masterpiece of the sound of Jin Ge. Although Du Fu also wrote: "To shoot a man, shoot the horse first, and to capture the thief, capture the king first." Military poet Wang Changling also wrote: "If you want to drive away the light cavalry, the heavy snow will cover the bow and knife." But these are all spectatorial imaginations, expressions and descriptions. Which poet has ever had such an experience of rolling on the edge of a sword? "Flying on the warship floor", "Throwing a whip and flying across the river", "Sword pointing at the Three Qin Dynasties", "Westerly wind racing horses", his poems are simply a military dictionary. He originally pledged his body to the country, preparing to spill blood in the desert and wrap his body in horse leather. However, after crossing south, he was forced to leave the battlefield and was no longer useful. Like Qu Yuan, he looked up to the sky, and like a soldier who was angry and confused, he faced the river, looked at Chang'an, climbed dangerous buildings, and patted the railings, all he could do was shed tears.
The Chu sky is thousands of miles clear, and the water follows the sky and the autumn is boundless. The eyes are far away, offering sorrow and hatred, jade hairpin and snail bun. In the setting sun above the building, with the sound of broken bells, a wanderer from the south of the Yangtze River looked at Wu Gou and took pictures of the railings, but no one could see him coming ("Water Dragon Song")
Who can understand that this wanderer like him, in fact, Is it the grief and anger of a prodigal who has subjugated his country? This is what he did when he came to Jiankang City's Heart-Appreciating Pavilion. Facing the ancient Qinhuai River, this pavilion was a place of appreciation and elegance for literati of all ages, but what Xin Qiji made here was a cry of sadness. When he slapped the railing painfully, he must have thought of how he used to slap his sword to urge his horse to gallop on the battlefield. But today, if he has all his strength and ambition, where can he use it? I once went to Nanjing specifically to look for the place where Xin Gong photographed the railing, but people destroyed the building and there was no trace of it. Only the river was long and flowing, like the poet's long sigh, flowing eastward.
The deeper difference between Xin's Ci than other literati is that his Ci is not written with ink, but smeared with blood and tears. When we read his words today, we always clearly hear a patriotic minister crying and confessing his love over and over again; we can never forget the image of him standing on the railing in the sunset, looking into the distance with eyes wide open.
Why was Xin Qiji so disliked by the court after he returned to the south? He said in a play "Quiting Alcohol": "Resentments are no matter how big or small, they are born from what you love; there is no good or bad thing, and if you do it wrong, it will cause disaster." This sketch perfectly portrays his political anguish. He was resentful because of his patriotism, and suffered disaster because of his due diligence. He loved the country, the people, and the court so much.
But the court was afraid of him, annoyed him, and avoided using him. He lived as a subject of the Southern Song Dynasty for 40 years, but was idle for nearly 20 years. During the more than 20 years of being used intermittently, he was frequently transferred 37 times. However, whenever he gets an opportunity to play, he works very seriously and persistently. Originally, he shouldn't have to do anything if he had a bowl of food to eat, but his ardent patriotism burned him all over. In the past 40 years, no matter where he was or in any position, even when he was unemployed, he kept writing letters and nagging. Whenever he had the opportunity, he had to work hard, train troops, raise funds, organize government affairs, and always put on a good show. He looks like he's about to rush to the front line. Do you think this will not upset the Lord and Gou An's court? He served as Hunan's pacification envoy. He was originally a local chief executive, but during his tenure, he founded a 2,500-strong "Flying Tiger Army" with armored horses and majestic troops in the south of the Yangtze River. At the beginning of the founding of the army, the barracks were built, but it happened to be rainy for days and roof tiles could not be fired. He ordered the citizens of Changsha to send 20 pieces of tiles to each household and pay in cash immediately, and all the money was raised within two days. His capable style of governance is evident. Later, he went to Fujian to serve as a local official and recruited troops there. Although southern Fujian and Mobei are far apart, they can't separate him from his concern for the people and his ambition to restore the country. He was a scholar and a workaholic, but he went too far, and "excesses would lead to disaster". He eventually attracted a lot of slander, and even said that he was dictatorial and guilty. The emperor used him sometimes and discarded him sometimes. When the state was in crisis, he used it for a few days; when there was slander in the court, he abandoned it for a few years. This was his basic rhythm of life, and it was also the greatest tragedy of his life. Although he read a lot of poems and books, he used allusions everywhere in his poems, and was even ridiculed by later generations as "dropping his book bag". But until his death, he still did not understand why the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty only wanted to maintain peace and was unwilling to regain the lost territory.
Xin Qiji is known as Qiji, but his five-foot body, which has been wielding guns and swords since childhood and is as strong as an iron tower, does he have any diseases? He only has one heart disease: the golden pot is missing, the moon is not full, the mountains and rivers are broken, and his heart is uneasy.
Under the clear river water of Yugu Terrace, many passersby shed tears in the middle. Looking northwest to Chang'an, one can see countless mountains. The green mountains cannot cover it, and it will flow eastward after all. Jiang Wan was worried about me, and I heard partridges deep in the mountains. This is the famous "Bodhisattva Man" that we read in middle school textbooks. He suffers from depression. He even laughed at his own surname: the scorching sun and autumn frost, loyalty and courage, and a thousand-year family tree. In what year did you get your surname? Read carefully the word "Xin" and listen to it with a smile. Hard work, sad taste, always sour and hard work. It is even more pungent to people, and the pounding of pepper and cinnamon can make people spit it out. The fragrance and beauty that should be in the world cannot be found at the door of my house. ("Eternal Happiness")
Look at the "hardship", "sourness", "sadness" and "spiciness", they are really all five. There are many sweet things and ambitions in the world, but why does it never happen to him? He is either idle or being transferred around. In 1179, he was transferred from Hubei to Hunan. When his colleagues saw him off, he was in a difficult mood, and finally sighed his political frustration in a very tactful tone. This is the famous song "Touching the Fish": It can also eliminate several storms, and spring will return in a hurry. I cherish the long spring, but I am afraid that the flowers will bloom early, not to mention the countless red flowers falling. When spring comes, I see that there is no way back for the fragrant grass at the end of the world. Resenting the spring is silent. Even if there are only spider webs painted on the eaves, all the catkins are flying in Yogyakarta. It's a long-term affair, but the best date is wrong. Mo Mei was once jealous. Even if you spend thousands of gold to buy a gift like a gift, who can complain about this feeling? Don't dance. If you don't see me, the jade rings and flying swallows will be dust. Idle sorrow is the most painful. Don't go to Yiwei Tower, where the setting sun is setting and the willows are breaking your heart.
It is said that Song Xiaozong was very unhappy after seeing this poem. Liang Qichao commented: "The ileus is so disturbing that it is unprecedented and unprecedented." The "Changmen incident" refers to the fact that Empress Chen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was banished to the Changmen palace. Compared with this classic, Xin is full of loyalty, infatuation, and a lot of bitterness, hard work, and pungency, which really overturns the five flavors. When we read it today, every word was surprising and made you feel like it was just a drop of blood or a line of tears. Indeed, there are so many works by literati in ancient times that they can pile up into a paper mountain. But which song can turn the spring scenery into politics and interpret politics in such a tactful and tragic way? The love-sickness of a beautiful woman is also a subject that has been overused by old literati. Is there any song that can so profoundly and appropriately imply state affairs, comment on good and evil, and express sorrow and indignation?
But the Southern Song Dynasty court left him idle for 20 years. For 20 years, he was kept out of politics. He was only allowed to watch, but was not allowed to interfere or interfere. In his poem, Xin laughed at himself and said: "The king is kind to you, please teach me how to grow hibiscus!" This is a bit like Song Renzong saying about Liu Yong: "Go and sing in a low voice, why do you want to be famous?" Liu Yong really went to Qian. I sang in a low voice, and the result was a pure lyricist and artist.
Xin is different from Liu. If you think about it, he is a person who drinks from a big bowl, eats large pieces of meat, slaps the railings, and discusses politics loudly. With no way to serve the country, he went to southern Jiangxi to build a villa with a lake to savor his loneliness.
I love the lake very much. Thousands of feet of green dome are spread out. The teacher has nothing to do with his walking stick and walks a thousand times a day. All the gulls and herons who have made an alliance with us, after today's alliance, please do not speculate on each other's comings and goings. Wherever the white crane is, try to be harmonious. Break the green duckweed, row out the green algae, and stand up the green moss. The peeping fish laughs at your crazy plan, and raises my cup in confusion. Abandoned swamps and desolate hills are in the past, the bright moon is clear and the breeze is refreshing. This night, there is so much joy and sorrow in the world. There is less green shade on the east bank, and more willows need to be planted. ("Shui Tiao Ge Tou")
This time he really answered his call: "Jia Xuan" and is going back to his hometown to farm. A politician who is in his prime, has rich experience, and has great ambitions, but he walks around the hillsides and waterside every day, chatting with the people about the harvest of mulberry and other things, and then talks to himself to the birds and fish. It is really "Idle sorrow is the most painful", "Who can complain about this feeling?"
Speaking of the depth of Xin Qiji’s penmanship, whether carved with a knife or written in blood, in fact his pursuit has never been to become a poet. Guo Moruo said of Chen Yi: "The true nature of a general is a poet." For Xin Qiji, the true nature of a poet is a warrior, and the true nature of a warrior is a politician. His words are soy milk juice ground out in the great millstone of politics. He evolved from martial arts to literature, and from literature to politics. He was always in conflict between being born and entering the world, and was suffering from being used or abandoned. As a feudal intellectual, when it came to politics, he was not like Tao Yuanming, who only dabbled in politics and then never got involved in politics; nor was he like Bai Juyi, who had been in office for a long time and was both political and literary. He has a heart that is bigger than the sky and hotter than the sky for the country and the nation; he has an energy that he has been training for a long time and cannot hold back or use up. He doesn't care about "losing his waist with five buckets of rice", nor is he afraid of the outpouring of slander. Therefore, whenever the situation fluctuates, he is busy and idle, with great ups and downs, great advances and great retreats. If he has some political achievements, he will be slandered and abandoned; if the country is in crisis, he will be recruited and appointed. He personally organized and trained the army and wrote famous strategies for governing the country such as "Ten Essays on Meiqin". He is a politician like Jia Yi, Zhuge Liang, and Fan Zhongyan who is always worried. He is like a piece of iron that is sometimes hammered red-hot and sometimes thrown into cold water to be quenched. Some people say that he is a bold and bold person who inherited Su Dongpo, but Su's boldness was limited to "going eastward with the great river" and the vastness of the mountains and rivers. Su Zheng was in the peaceful and prosperous age of the Northern Song Dynasty, and there was no national hatred or ambition to refining the soul of his poetry, nor was there Hu Chenfei and Jin Geming to enhance the power of his poetry. Only when a true poet is squeezed, twisted, twisted, refined and hammered by political events (including social, national, military and other contradictions) can he gain insights in line with the historical trend and become the incarnation of justice. Poetry can only fly, burn, explode, and enlighten people if it is stirred by the wind of politics. The skill of learning poetry lies outside of poetry, and the effectiveness of poetry lies outside of poetry. We recognize the charm of art itself, and more importantly, the explosive power of art plus thought. Some people say that Xin's poems are actually of the graceful school, and are no less sentimental and delicate than Liu Yong and Li Qingzhao.
I have been so worried lately, who can help me? Who understands each other? Let me worry about it again. They all put the endless things of the past and present aside from their sorrow. Put it on the side of sorrow, but move your home to Jiuquan. ("Ugly Slave")
The young man does not know the feeling of sorrow and falls in love with the upper floors. Falling in love with the upper floors, I force myself to express my sorrow in order to compose new words. Now that I know all the sorrow, I want to stop talking. I wanted to give up, but I said it was a cool autumn. ("Ugly Slave")
Liu Li's sentimentality and melancholy are limited to "holding hands and looking at each other's tearful eyes" and "the sycamore trees are drizzled", while the graceful and melancholy words in Xin's poems are The light artistic beauty contains profound political and life philosophy. A true poet is the best at expressing great feelings and principles from ordinary people's hearts, and can make thunderous noises in silent places.
I often think that if I were to create a statue of Xin Qiji, the most appropriate title would be "Photograph all over the railings." He spent most of his life feeling abandoned and helpless. Those in power do not allow him to serve as an official, but prepare a negative environment for him to hone his thoughts and art. He was steamed and sun-dried, boiled and fried, and tempered countless times. The storms of history, the hatred of the nation, the struggle between good and evil, the entanglement of love and hate, the accumulation of knowledge, the casting of emotions, the sublimation of art, the hammering of words, all of this was tumbling in his chest and his mind. , agitation, such as the rolling and swelling of magma in the earth's crust, impact and accumulation. Since this energy cannot be transformed into the power of swords and guns, and it cannot be transformed into political policies, it can only be poured into poetry and transformed into poems. He didn't want to be a poet, but the road to politics was blocked, and history forced him to become a poet. Finally, he was trained to the point where he could even sigh and write a good poem. In the final analysis, talents and ideas are the foundation of a person's life.
Like a small tree in a crevice between rocks, although it is twisted and squeezed and cannot become a flagpole, it can still become a powerful dragon-headed walking stick, which is of great value. But the premise is that you must be a tree, not a grass. From "the soldiers are ordered in autumn on the battlefield" to "the cool weather brings a good autumn"; from the determination to give up the disease for the country, to finally breaking it into pieces and chewing it, understanding the meaning of the word "Xin", and then calling itself "Jia Xuan", allied with Oulu , Xin Qiji went through the maturation process of a patriot and a patriotic poet. Can anyone write poetry? A poet, a poet who can leave a name in history, can anyone be a poet? "One general becomes famous and thousands of bones wither." The story of a military general requires the blood of sword wielders and dancers to write it. So, what about poets who have both ideological brilliance and artistic charm? His fame depends on the movement of the times, like the collision of the earth's large plates. Sometimes he is caught in the middle and feels torture, and sometimes he is left aside and forced to think calmly. Therefore, 300 years of turmoil in the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties gave rise to Xin Qiji.
The phrase "pat the railings all over" comes from Xin Qiji's "Shui Long Yin". Wang Pizhi of the Song Dynasty recorded it in "Mianshui Yan Tan Lu", Liu Mengjie, who was "at odds with the world", often stood quietly on the railing, thinking about worldly affairs, sighing in silence, or slapping the railing with his hands. There is a poem that says: "Studying has delayed me for forty years, and I have been drunk several times and slapped the railing." Therefore, "beating all over the railing" often means tapping the railing to vent the unspeakable depression and anguish in the heart. The author believes that the most appropriate title for Xin Qiji's statue is "Photograph all over the railings." In the deafening sound of the poet slapping the railings all over, we can read Xin Qiji's real complex mood: dissatisfaction, resentment, anxiety, chagrin, impatience, waiting, longing...
This is a story In this essay with the nature of character commentary, the author creates for us the image of Xin Qiji, a powerful but ill-fated patriotic poet, and reveals the process and reasons of how Xin Qiji became a patriotic poet from a patriot.
The first paragraph of the article is the summary of the full text. It tells readers that the full text is to explore how Xin Qiji became a patriotic poet from a patriot, and how this process determined his poetry, His own uniqueness and unique position in the history of literature. The author first places Xin Qiji in the context of Chinese history, seizes his characteristics of "starting things with force, and finally turning to literature as a career", highlighting his "uniqueness" and "uniqueness" in the history of Chinese literature ".
The main part of the article is written by interweaving the introduction of Xin Qiji's life experiences and the evaluation of his poetry creation.
When introducing Xin Qiji's life experiences, the author mainly focuses on his following experiences:
First, his military experience. This introduction is full of magic. He single-handedly chased down the seal-stealing thief. He jumped into the enemy camp with a leaping horse and crossed his sword to capture the traitor general alive. He looked like a strong-blooded, brave and good warrior. Who among the great writers in Chinese history had such ability?
The second is his experience as an official. The author used data to make this introduction: "He lived as a subject of the Southern Song Dynasty for 45 years, but was idle for nearly 20 years. During the more than 20 years of being used intermittently, he was frequently transferred 37 times." The author objectively analyzes the various reasons why Xin Qiji was not liked by the court after returning to the south:
First, he loved the country, the people, and the court too much, so the court was afraid of him, annoyed him, and avoided using him. ;
Secondly, he worked very seriously and was simply a workaholic, so he attracted a lot of slander. He was even said to be dictatorial and guilty, so the emperor used him sometimes and abandoned him;
Others Third, he loves to give opinions. For 45 years, he kept writing letters, nagging, and demanding that the bandits be killed and the lost territory be recovered. How could this not upset the Lord and the peaceful court? These characteristics of Xin Qiji are all advantages and great advantages in today's eyes, but in the eyes of the court at that time, they became shortcomings that upset them and were intolerable shortcomings. So he could only slap the railings and recite poems to express his hatred.
The third is his mental journey. From a battlefield hero's longing for the military camp, to a worried wanderer's question about the sky, from the heartache of "the golden moon is missing, the moon is not full, and the mountains and rivers are broken", to the "hard work, sad taste, always bitter and hard work" Internal pain, there are tragic shouts, regretful sighs, and helpless self-deprecation.
When introducing Xin Qiji’s life experiences, the author cites eight of his poems. Almost all of these poems are representative works of Xin Qiji. When quoting these poems, the author neither quotes them in detail nor elaborates on them. Instead of adding appreciation, he made a precise comment based on the fate of the characters. The author first summarizes Xin Qiji's helplessness from the military experience to abandoning the army and taking up writing: "After returning to the south, he immediately lost the steel sword in his hand, leaving only a soft brush, and he never had the chance to run on the battlefield, bloody The clothes are splashed, but the pen can only run away, and the paper is shed with tears, leaving behind a series of tragic shouts, regretful sighs and helpless self-mockery for history. "There are "steel swords" and "soft pens". There is a contrast between "running on the battlefield" and "running around with pen". We can also truly feel the author's sympathy and regret for the poet through words such as "only left" and "tears shed".
The author mainly comments from the perspective of the content of the lyrics and the readers' feelings. When quoting "Po Zhenzi", the author said "I feel an awe-inspiring murderous aura and majestic momentum"; quoting "Water Dragon Song" At that time, the author said, "What Xin Qiji issued here was a cry of sorrow"; when quoting "Bodhisattva Man", the author explained that "he only had one heart disease: the golden cup was missing, the moon was not full, the mountains and rivers were broken, and his heart was uneasy"; he quoted "Yong" When "Encountering Joy", the author reminds readers that Xin Qiji is "laughing at his own name"; when quoting "Touching Fish", the author laments: "When we read it today, every word is surprising, making you feel like it is just a drop of blood, or It's a line of tears"; when quoting "Shui Diao Ge Tou", we are told that Xin Qiji is "chewing his own loneliness"; when quoting two "Ugly Slaves", he seems to be talking about the style of poetry, but still reveals that Xin Qiji's poetry "is indifferent" The artistic beauty contains the characteristics of profound political and life philosophy. A few words, one to the point.
The main part of the article cleverly integrates the character's own fate, the work, the author's reading experience and comments, making it interesting to read.
The last part of the article is the last section. The author points out the reason for the title "Pat the railings all over" and responds to the beginning, revealing that Xin Qiji changed from a patriot to a "sighing man" , is also a good poem" the reason why the patriotic poet matured.
The comments in this paragraph are very vivid. What about "nine steaming and nine drying", what "boiling and frying", what "thousands of tempers", Xin Qiji's success in the field of lyrics was completely "forced" . The "mistake" of history destroyed a brave warrior, but made him a poet for the ages.
This is a masculine character commentary prose. There are many things worth learning from in writing:
1. Rich associations. This article reveals the mental journey of ancient literary masters. It is not enough to possess historical materials and the writer's own works, but also to have bold associations and imaginations. This is the case for the author of this article. Either from Xin Qiji's deeds, we associate it with his lyrics; or from his lyrics, we associate it with the era in which he lived, his deeds, his inner world, etc.
For example, in the third paragraph, after briefly describing Xin Qiji’s experience when he returned to the south, he thought of his two poems "Broken Array" and "Water Dragon Song", quoted them and commented on them, expressing an earnest hope. The tragic and indignant image of the patriotic general who returned to the battlefield to kill the bandits, but whose ambition was hard to achieve, is presented to the readers. Then, a question naturally comes to mind: Why was Xin Qiji not liked by the court after he returned to the south? The author quoted Xin Qiji's own words, and summarized Xin Qiji's deeds and the mentality of the court, revealing the answer. This is that he is too patriotic, the people, and the court. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will work hard and be ready to rush forward. He went to the front line, which upset the emperor and Gou'an's court and caused slander. The emperor sometimes used him and sometimes discarded him. For another example, the name "Qiji" is associated with his concern for the country and his lyrics expressing this concern. In short, through association and imagination, the author shows Xin Qiji's journey from a patriot to a patriotic poet.
Two, lead by comment. Most of Liang Heng's character essays are about outstanding people and ghosts. Most of them are great men who are famous in the universe and are household names, as well as literati whose works shocked the world and were passed down for generations. But these characters who span thousands of years and centuries come to life one by one from the author's writing. Liang Heng's prose emphasizes both emotion and reason, and uses commentary to guide biography. The characters he writes about have been re-evaluated based on the conclusions that have been made for thousands of years, and this evaluation is unconventional. People all admit that Xin Qiji is a great poet, but Liang Heng is the first person who can judge Xin Qiji's "uniqueness among literati and his unique position in history" from his origin to the development history of his career. .
The author also uses Guo Moruo's comment about Chen Yi that "the true nature of a general is a poet" to comment on Xin Qiji: "The true nature of a poet is a warrior, and the true nature of a warrior is a politician." It is common people's judgment to say that Xin Qiji is a "poetry man" or a "martial man", but it is probably Liang Heng's unique opinion to say that Xin Qiji is a "political man". Liang Heng said, "His words are soy milk juice ground out in the big millstones of politics. He evolved from martial arts to literature, and from literature to politics. He was always in conflict between being born and entering the world, and was suffering from being used or abandoned." . The author also compares Xin Qiji's politics with those of Tao Yuanming and Bai Juyi, showing Xin Qiji's commitment and enthusiasm for politics. He can reinterpret a character from the depth of human nature. In the last paragraph of the article, the author made such a vivid comment when analyzing the inevitability of Xin Qiji embarking on the path of poetry creation: "He was boiled in water and boiled in oil. The storms of history, the hatred of the nation, the struggle between good and evil, the entanglement of love and hate, the accumulation of knowledge, the casting of emotions, the sublimation of art, the beating of words, all of this is in his chest, his heart. His mind was churning and agitated, like the rolling and swelling of magma in the earth's crust, and the impact accumulated. Since this energy could not be turned into the power of swords and guns, and secondly, it could not be turned into policy, he could only pour it into poetry and turn it into poetry. He became a poet, but his political path was blocked, and history pushed him to the path of being a poet. Finally, he was trained to the point where he could even sigh and write a good poem. "The famous writer Liang Xiaosheng was talking about Liang Heng's book. In the collection of essays, he said: "I am convinced that as a diligent thinker, Liang Heng's reflections on history must be deeper and more comprehensive than the above chapters he wrote. And he later published "The Last One to Guilt" "The Hero", "Looking for a Crossing, Looking for a Crossing, Where to Cross", and "Patting the Railings All Over" prove this point as his thoughts travel further into history and open up to the characters in those historical periods. When the conversation is heart-to-heart, the words are sometimes passionate; sometimes lamenting; sometimes questioning; sometimes ridiculing, and the attitude becomes unbridled..."
Generally speaking, with politics. It is easy to write about "thoughts" about closely related events and characters, but it is difficult to write about "beauty". A common problem is too much seriousness and not enough liveliness. Liang Heng made a great breakthrough in this aspect, achieving a harmonious unity of "thought and aesthetic feeling". He is like a master chef who is satisfied only when he has a dish that is "perfect in color, aroma, taste and shape". His commentaries are not abstract summaries and dry dogmas at all, but vivid and full of beauty. Like "After returning to the south, he immediately lost his sword and sword in his hand, and only had a soft brush left. He no longer had the chance to run on the battlefield, splattering his shirt with blood. Instead, he could only write and shed tears on the paper. Notes"; like "Xin Qiji's poems were not written with pens, but carved with knives and swords. He will always remain in history and his own poetry as a battlefield hero and patriotic general"; and "Like Qu Yuan. Looking up to the sky like that, he was as angry as a soldier. He faced the river, looked at Chang'an, climbed dangerous buildings, and patted the railings, all he could do was shed tears." These words are so beautiful and soul-stirring to read.
3. Make good use of contrast. Contrast is one of the common artistic techniques used by writers, and Liang Heng is no exception. He used contrast in many places in this article to make the characters more vivid and prominent. The first use of comparison is after quoting "Po Zhenzi". The author first compared it with Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong" and believed that only "Man Jiang Hong" could rival it. Then he used Du Fu's "Shoot the man first, shoot the horse, and capture the horse first." "The thief captures the king first", compared with Lu Lun's "In order to drive away the light cavalry, the heavy snow covers the bow and knife", he believes that "these are all spectator-style imagination, expression and description", thus highlighting the "awe-inspiring murderousness and majesty of Xin's Ci" Awesome momentum." The second comparison is between his political experience and that of Tao Yuanming and Bai Juyi. He believes that Xin Qiji's "approach to politics" is "not like Tao Yuanming, who only dabbled in politics and never got involved in politics again; nor is he like Bai Juyi, who has been in office for a long time and is both political and literary." Because "he has a heart that can't let go of the country and the nation, that can't be contained, that is bigger than the sky, and that is hotter than the sky; he has a whole body that has been trained for a long time, that can't be held back, and that can't be exhausted." He "doesn't care about losing his waist after five buckets of rice, nor is he afraid of the outpouring of slander." Therefore, "whenever the situation fluctuates, he will be very busy, with great ups and downs, great advances and great retreats." The third comparison is between Xin Qiji's boldness and Su Dongpo's boldness. Both Su Xin and Su Xin were representatives of the bold school, so "Su Xin" was referred to as "Su Xin" in literary history. However, Liang Heng saw differences in the similarities. He believed: "Su's boldness only stopped in 'The Great River Goes East'" , the landscape is vast.” Because “Su Zheng was in the peaceful and prosperous period of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he did not have the national hatred and ambition to refining the soul of his poetry, nor did Hu Chenfei and Jin Geming strengthen the power of his poetry.”
And “only when a true poet is squeezed, twisted, twisted, refined, and beaten by major political events (including social, national, military and other contradictions) can he gain insights in line with the historical trend and become the embodiment of justice. Poetry , and only under the agitation of the political wind can it fly, burn, explode, and enlighten the deaf." Xin Qiji's poems are exactly such poems. The fourth comparison is to compare Xin Qiji's graceful poetry with the graceful poetry of Liu Yong and Li Qingzhao. He believes that "the sentimentality of Liu and Li is limited to 'holding hands and looking at each other's tearful eyes' and 'the parasol tree is also drizzle', while The graceful and melancholy words in Xin's poems contain profound political and life philosophy in their light artistic beauty." These are very insightful and pithy words.
