The Original Text and Appreciation of the Ancient Poetry of Ink Grape

The author of Mo Grape Poetry is Xu Wei, a writer in Ming Dynasty. The full text of his ancient poems is as follows:

I became an elderly man for half my life, and my self-study roared in the evening breeze.

The pearls at the bottom of the pen have nowhere to sell, but they are thrown into wild vines.

order

He expressed his infinite feelings of being unappreciated and unsatisfied, his old age and loneliness, and expressed the helplessness and grievances of the poet's "heroes are useless." I was "idle" when I should have made great achievements, and my regret and resentment were expressed by the word "idle".

translate

I have been down and out for half my life, down and out for most of my life, and I am old (an old man), blowing the evening breeze in the study room. I often stand alone in my study and howl at the night wind (to express my grievances). There is no place to sell the pearls at the bottom of my pen. I painted a lot of precious pearls, but there is no place to sell them. I just threw them in the wild vines. It's boring to throw these pearls into wild vines and turn them into black grapes.

Distinguish and appreciate

Xu Wei is an artist I can't understand, not because of his paintings, but because of his behavior. His boldness makes his paintings full of momentum, perhaps due to the factors of the times, and he is frustrated or even frustrated. But his poems, books, songs and paintings have created a new space, which belongs to him and where he is free.

The first two sentences describe the desolation and loneliness of the poet in his later years, which can be seen from "Weng", "Du" and "Xiao".

"Pearl" refers to grapes. The author used grapes to draw paintings that can't be sold anywhere, expressing his infinite feelings of being unappreciated and unfulfilled, as well as his sad feelings of being old and lonely. The poet emphasized the word "leisure" repeatedly, aiming at expressing the poet's wandering and lonely life and expressing the helplessness and grievances of the poet's "heroes are useless". I should have made great achievements, but I was "idle". All kinds of regrets and resentments were expressed by the word "idle".

Xu Wei's Ink Grape Poetry is his own self-portrait. The phrase "the evening breeze blows from the independent study" seems to depict a stubborn old man who has never met his own talent and is poor. After being teased by fate many times, he still maintained his pride and refused to bow to fate. Although I am already white-haired, I still have to stand proudly in front of my study, in the evening breeze at sunset.

This song "Scream" is the author's endless lament about his ill-fated fate. This song "Scream" is also the author's expression of his lonely fate in his life. This "noise" also slows down its conflict with the world. From ancient times to the present, most of the talented scholars and literati are higher than the sky, but as thin as paper. Li Bai is like this, Su Shi is like this, and so is Xu Wei.

When encountering "small chest unevenness", most literati "can pour it with wine." To achieve psychological balance. But when it comes to "the righteousness of the world", wine can't be eliminated.

For everyone, the biggest injustice in the world is nothing more than the injustice and endless bumpy fate they have encountered. If you are still young, you can draw your sword and look around, pointing to injustice. Where there is injustice, there is no me. The heart is there, and the dream is there. There are more opportunities to fight against fate. But now, the white hair is rustling and you are "all-around". What else can you do? It can only be "self-study whistling night wind".
