Liu Yuxi compared himself to a sunken ship and a sick tree. Although he is disappointed, he is quite philosophical. On the side of the sunken ship, Qian Fan is competing; Before a sick tree, everything is spring. He excavated these two sentences from Bai Juyi's poems, but encouraged Bai Juyi not to grieve for his loneliness and waste, showing his open mind about the changes of the world and the rise and fall of his official career.
Twenty-three years of relegation did not make him depressed. As he wrote in another poem: "Sang Yu is late because the sky is still full of summer." His sick tree needs to be refreshed to welcome spring. Because these two poems are vivid, they are still often quoted and given new meanings, which shows that new things will replace old things.
Author: Liu Yuxi in Tang Dynasty
Original: Bashan Chu River is desolate and abandoned for 23 years.
People come back. Like people in Michelle, I can only play the flute, and I am disappointed.
On one side of the boat, Qian Fan races; At the head of the sick tree, every year is a spring shower.
Today, listen to you sing a song, drink a glass of wine and cheer up.
He was banished to these desolate areas of Bashan and Chushui and spent 23 years in poverty.
The old days of remembering old friends and reciting Xiao Fu in vain no longer exist.
There are still thousands of sailboats from Qian Qian passing by the capsized ships; There are thousands of trees thriving in front of the dead trees.
After listening to the poem you recited to me today, I will cheer up with this glass of wine for the time being.
Extended data:
The first banquet in Yangzhou is a poem written by Liu Yuxi, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. First, this poem closely follows the sentence "I also know that I have lost too much in 23 years as a talent" at the end of Bai Juyi's "Drunken Gifts to Twenty-eight Generals Liu", expressing infinite bitterness and resentment at being demoted and abandoned. Then write my feelings of returning: the old friend has passed away, only endless nostalgia, and the personnel are completely different, and it feels like a lifetime ago.
Infinite grief and disappointment can't help but arise. The poet then pushed aside and sank the boat, and Qian Fan entered the competition; Before a sick tree, a thousand trees strive for spring. Wash away the sad and depressed mood and show the impassioned spirit. The end of the couplet is not only a thank you for your concern, but also an encouragement to your friends, which shows the poet's firm will and optimistic spirit. The whole poem is sincere, gloomy and uninhibited, which not only embodies the profound philosophy of life, but also has a strong artistic appeal.
