The last five or six sentences are purely "bi". There is not a word in the two sentences that is not about cicadas, and there is not a word that is not about yourself. "Exposing the weight" and "windy" are metaphors of environmental pressure, "flying hard" is a metaphor of political dissatisfaction, and "speaking loudly is easy to sink" is a metaphor of suppressed speech. Cicadas are like this, and so are poets. Things here are mixed and inseparable. Only when the poems about objects are written in such a state can they be regarded as "reposing in the distance".
When the poet wrote this poem, he was full of emotion and skillful, so he was strong in the end. The seventh sentence, make persistent efforts, still use the comparative level. Qiu Chan is so high up that no one believes that it is divorced from reality. The poet Yu's character was not known at that time. Instead, he was framed and imprisoned. "Who knows if he is still singing?" It is also an excuse for accepting bribes. However, as Chu Quyuan said in Li Sao during the Warring States Period, "The world is turbid and has no points, so it is beautiful and jealous." In this case, no one came to avenge the poet. "You must pity me, I pity you", which means that only cicadas can sing for me, and only I can sing for cicadas. The last sentence is in the form of a question. Cicada and the poet are integrated.
A good poem should not only have a poetic eye to shine, but also have a "dragon rhyme" to shine. Comparing Yang Jiong's Joining the Army with Du Fu's Book of Letters, if there is no "Better to be a centurion than a scholar" and "Before you conquer, you will be dead". And the "Long Yin" sentence such as "The hero feels sorry for himself" is behind the house, and the "poetic heart" is cut off, and the whole article will be dull. The same is true of this poem. At the end of the poem, the poet was full of anger and told his long-standing true feelings: "Who knows if he is still singing?" Who will listen to me? " And then take off the "cicada body" wrapped in the first three sections, so that people can see the author's pure sincerity in serving the country. This kind of sincerity, as the preface says, "is open-minded, not confused by the Tao, not confused by the wings." "Sing the breeze of the tree, rhyme longitudinal; Drinking the dew of high autumn is clear and terrible. " It's not easy to be secular, so it's better to drink dew than to maintain "charm". It is this problem that makes "Political Prisoner Listening to Cicada" a masterpiece of Tang poetry, which is superior to the palace poems in the early Tang Dynasty.
This poem, written in adversity, is full of emotion, clear metaphor, natural allusions and witty remarks. It expresses feelings in chanting things, from things to people, from people to things, and achieves the realm of unity between things and me. It is a masterpiece in chanting poems.
Enjoy 1:
After three years in Yifeng, Tang Gaozong (678), the poet moved to the position of imperial adviser. Because of neglect of affairs, he angered the marquis of Wu and was framed and imprisoned. His poems were written at this time.
The poet compared cicada's nobility to his incorruptibility. The first couplet was inspired by cicada singing, which aroused the guests' thinking. It came from the southern crown and hit the point. Zhuan Xu expounded the relationship between things and me, and exposed the ugliness of state affairs and self-sorrow. Neck couplets use metaphors to indicate that the world is dirty, the environment is bad, and there is dew and wind. It is difficult to fly to the sea. The voice is easy to sink, and there is pressure to speak. The tail is connected with the cicada's nobleness, which means one's own character, and breaks up the hatred of unjust imprisonment.
This is a very good poem describing things, lyrical and full of loyalty.
King Robin, one of the "four outstanding men in the early Tang Dynasty", was born humble but brilliant and famous all over the world. Although everyone is familiar with him, it is necessary to explain his life experience and the background of writing this poem, which will help us understand this poem!
Luo (about 640- 684) was born in Yiwu, Wuzhou, Zhejiang Province (now Yiwu County, Zhejiang Province). He once worked in Li Jiazhong, the king of Taoism, and served as a martial arts master and consultant in Chang 'an County. Wu Zetian was soon offended and exiled to Linhai County, which made him very depressed. In the first year of Guangzhai (684), Li fought against Wu Zetian in Yangzhou and was defeated. He is good at seven-character songs and five laws, and has written ten volumes of Luo Linhai Collection. It can be seen that Luo had a period of talented people, but his name, date of birth and death were unknown, his life experience was vague, and his career was miserable, which made people sigh. The reason is that he lived in the period of Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, while Tang Gaozong, Li Zhi, was sickly, and political affairs were mostly in Wu Zhao's hands, which inevitably caused dissatisfaction among the royal family in Li Tang, and infighting broke out one after another. When it happened, it happened that Wu Zhao had the upper hand, so King Robin, who was upright and loyal to the royal family of Li Tang, ended up like this.
This poem was written in senior three (678). At this time, King Robin was appointed as an adviser (that is, an official), wrote several times about important things in the world, offended Wuhou, was falsely accused, and was imprisoned for accepting bribes. At this time, it is autumn, so the poet realized something. Taking cicada as a metaphor, he used the artistic technique entrusted by Bi Xing to express his grief and indignation at being slandered and falsely accused. Knowing the author's life experience and creative background, let's appreciate this famous sentence.
The first two sentences, westland, are clear and clear, that is, autumn, south crown, indicating the identity of the prisoner. Qiu Chan's singing caused homesickness. The method of arousal is used here. The so-called awakening is the "awakening" of "giving, comparing and stimulating". "Xing" is the original meaning, which has the dual functions of origin and metaphor. Zhu said in Biography of the Book of Songs: "If you are interested, talk about something else first to arouse the words you are reciting". As we all know, cicada is the most exciting period in summer, and will enter the exhaustion period after autumn, so Qiu Chan's final appearance will certainly make a final struggle and then end his short life. Here, the poet expressed his tragic fate with Qiu Chan's resounding lamentation, and Qiu Chan's fate is just like the poet's fate at this time. At this moment, it is the most fragile time for the poet's mind. Qiu Chan's wailing naturally intruded into the homesickness of the local poet, making the poet's mood even more difficult to be conceited.
In these two sentences, the poet's contrast between the sadness of life experience and the tragic fate is further expressed. One is about Qiu Chan, and the other is about the poet himself, combining my things. Although it is Qiu Chan, its wings are still black. At this time, the poet suffered hardships and blows, and was trapped in prison. He was middle-aged and bald, so he was "comparable". Qiu Chan or Qiu Chan here, whether the poet is bald or not, has increased the poet's feeling of pain. Looking back on my youth, I am also full of enthusiasm and unpredictable with the ambition of "saving the world". This life is so bumpy, so unbearable, so sad, but now I have empty ambitions but no reason to display them. I am imprisoned and can only lament. In fact, the phrase "Bai tou Yin" here is a pun, which means "Bai tou Yin", borrowing the allusions of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun. When Sima Xiangru was ungrateful to Zhuo Wenjun, Zhuo Wenjun wrote "The Ballad of the White Head" and felt sorry for himself, expressing his desire to die together. Associated with the creation background of this poem, the poet wrote this poem without listening to advice after he was imprisoned, which is a metaphor for the ruler's improper use of people, his disobedience and his failure to live up to the poet's loyalty. It can be said that the poet's hoary head is not only a trace of years, but also a prison sentence because of sincere loyalty, and he is in a hurry because of his internal troubles and foreign invasion. Here, there is sorrow for the passage of time, sorrow for the failure of ambition, and disappointment for the rulers!
The two sentences of the neck couplet are figurative, and the cicada's difficult situation is used to describe his political situation. Qiu Chan is like a force that will not be dragged down by Lu Tao. He has fallen like a yellow leaf, and he is the last black powder before the curtain call. It happened that at this time, he was "exposed" and "windy". How can people not give birth to compassion, unbearable heart and sad heart? Here, "exposure" and "windy" are metaphors of the external environment, and "flying is difficult to enter" and "sounding is easy to sink" are metaphors of the external environment results. To put it bluntly, the poet has been in a difficult political situation under the blocking of the voice of flattery and the road of admonition in the court. Things here have been mixed together. Qiu Chan is both a poet and a poet like Qiu Chan.
The end of the sentence is very sonorous and meaningful. Qiu Chan is a symbol of noble character. The poet continues to compare and express his loneliness, which is heroism, not sadness. Qu Yuan, a famous poet of Chu, said in Li Sao: "I am alone in the world, and everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, so I see it!" This sentence is really good. It can be applied to King Robin. A poet with noble character and clear mind, who was not understood, was wrongly imprisoned. History is surprisingly similar. In a muddled world, most people share the same fate. The poet did not choose Tao Yuanming's death, but chose Qu Yuan's entry into the WTO, and the poet who was concerned with the imperial court chose to go to jail. While lamenting the tragic poet, we also lamented that the court abandoned its loyal subjects! The poet's last question was thrilling and rock-breaking, with both disappointment and deep expectation for the court! Therefore, what is left here is not only the sigh of a poet whose life is like Qiu Chan and whose taste is like Qiu Chan, but also a millennium problem worthy of our consideration!
In a word, this poem uses metaphor, taking cicada as a metaphor, and puts it far away, reaching the artistic realm of blending things with me. Of course, this is just my feeling, which may not be in line with the author's original intention. Unfortunately, the Sri Lankan has passed away and we will never hear the author's answer again. The interpretation of poetry is originally an active intervention in readers' subjective feelings. Although there is some objective basis, it is mixed with personal feelings after all. Therefore, the meaning of poetry in the eyes of every reader is different, which is the charm of poetry interpretation.
Appreciation 2:
Luo (about 626-684): A native of Yiwu, Wuzhou (now Zhejiang), once worked as Cheng Linhai, and later rose up against Wu Zetian and wrote "Fighting Wu Ban". After the defeat, his whereabouts were unknown. There are "Collected Works of King Robin".
"Political prisoners listen to cicadas" is the work of King Robin. Tang Gaozong Yifeng three years (678). After 18 years in office, King Robin, who had just been promoted to imperial adviser, was arrested and imprisoned. The reason why he committed the crime was that he touched Wu Zetian on something negligent. He said that he "lost the stolen goods". These two statements, the latter is unfounded. The former feels biased. From the end of this poem, the couplet "Who knows if he is still singing?" Who will listen to me again? " This is obviously framed by others. Mr. Wen Yiduo said that King Robin "was born with chivalrous spirit, meddlesome, keen on killing, revenge and revolution, and helping spoony women beat people up" (Poem of Palace Complaints). These words revealed the root cause of Robin's imprisonment. He dares to rebel against his boss and use a knife and pencil. Of course, the person who is hit will take him in on charges of "taking bribes" and "touching the marquis of Wu". Because of this, Wang Luobin wrote this poem in prison.
The title of the poem is also called Chanting. Compared with previous works of chanting cicadas, such as Ode to the Chanting of Cicada, Ode to the Chanting of Cicada by Cao Zhi, Ode to the Chanting of Cicada by Cao Dajia and Ode to the Chanting of Cicada by Yu Shinan, Wang's Five Laws seem to be aimed at expressing his nobleness and winning the sympathy of the world by eating cicadas and drinking dew.
"The cicada in the west sings, and the guest in the south thinks deeply", which is the theme of the first couplet. Westland, autumn. Sui Shu Tian Wenzhi explained: "The sun runs eastward along the ecliptic once a day and once a night. 365 days are odd numbers and sundays. Traveling to the east is called spring, and traveling to the south is called summer. Traveling to the west is autumn, and traveling to the north is winter. Line into a festival of yin and yang. " "Southern Crown", also known as "Avengers Crown", originally refers to Chu Crown. Here is the explanation of the prisoner, using the allusions of Zhong Yi's imprisonment in Chu. In the ninth year of Zuozhuan in Qi Huangong, Duke Jing of Jin visited the military department and saw an official tied up in prison. Cheng Gong asked, "Who is the man who tied up and wore the Chu crown?" A minister replied, "Guo Zheng sent Zhong Yi, a prisoner of Chu. Later people called the prisoner "South Crown". The southern crown here refers to the author himself. The word "guest" after Nanguan is not interpreted as the usual "guest" or "living in a foreign country", but refers to the "prisoner" and is called "guest", which shows that the grievances are very deep. The two crosses in the first couplet depict such a picture with neat antithesis: in late autumn, cicadas made a series of sad cries, which touched the heartstrings of imprisoned King Robin and caused him to think deeply. In this couplet, we should pay special attention to the word "deep thinking", which is the author's painstaking efforts and the "source" of the whole poem. The famous sentences in the poem "Xuan Dian", "Bald Head", "Significant Weight", "Abundance" and various associations are all derived from this.
In the first couplet, the author committed suicide in Nanguan, paving the way for the theme expression of the poem with the word "deep thinking", so the couplet was pushed out by the trend: "I can't bear to break the mysterious shadow of a white hair." "Xuanan", black temple, here refers to the wings of cicada. The famous poem "Whitehead Poetry" written by Yuefu in Han and Wei Dynasties describes a woman's sad mood of being abandoned by a sad person at first, and expresses her pursuit of single-minded love. It is said that this poem was written by Zhuo Wenjun in the Western Han Dynasty. Zhuo Wenjun longed for Sima Xiangru's talents, eloped and married Sima Xiangru. However, Sima Xiangru did not devote herself to love. After entering Beijing, he will marry a Maoling woman as his concubine. When Wen Jun heard this, he wrote "Whitehead Song" to hurt himself. Repent at the sight of poetry and never take a concubine again. This sentence written by Wang Bin has two meanings. The surface layer means that cicadas flutter their wings and black wings, and their white hair mourns the author, which is unbearable. The meaning of the inner layer is more profound. The author intends to express his resentment at losing the favor of the court and being demoted through the traditional literary technique of vanilla beauty. The author "cicada" is opposite to others, and "mystery" and "white" are used together. Seeing cicada's wings made him sad, but smelling cicada's voice was unbearable, because he also had a dark-haired cardamom. As early as 669 AD, in order to serve the society, he jumped into the official career: "When I was in the army, I thought of Gu Xun." . You should also avenge the shame of the Han people and report it to Mingjun (Su Wencheng Wang Barracks). In order to show his ambition, he worked as a civil servant, a government official, a Li Lang and a bachelor in Dongtai. He served as a military attache in Sichuan and a secretary in Yanbei. However, he has been a servant for 30 years. He was arrested and imprisoned as soon as he was promoted to empire. The idea of serving the country will eventually fail, so why not bear it?
If the first couplet is inspired by scenery, cicadas are connected synchronously, and the discussion is born from narration, then the focus of the necklace is the expression of emotional discussion. "His flight is heavily through the fog, and his pure voice is drowned in the windy world" means that cicadas can't fly forward because of exposure, and their songs can't travel very far because of the strong wind. This is not only to describe the difficult situation in late autumn, but also to lament my own experience. In the preface before the poem, the author wrote: "It is difficult for a servant to get lost and be moved by time. Self-reproach without sorrow, decline without falling ",which means that the" emblem ink "(the meaning of rope) of the times has bound it, making it impossible for him to gallop his ambitions. The preface also said that he was "afraid of the crisis when he saw the shadow of mantis". When he saw the mantis clinging to the mantis axe and trying to catch the eaten worm, he immediately thought that he was still in deep crisis. The heavy frost of evil forces inside and outside the imperial court not only froze his wings and locked his voice, but also pushed his life to the "end". These words in the preface show that although the necklaces are written about cicadas, they are not made for cicadas. These two poems, which are homophonic with cicadas, are lyrical and forget cicadas, reaching a superb realm.
A good poem should not only have a poetic eye to shine, but also have a "dragon rhyme" to shine. Try to read Lu's "Warsong" and Du Fu's "Shu Xiang". Without "a centurion is better than a scholar" and "but before he conquered, he was already dead". The sentence pattern of "Long Yin" like "From now on, the hero shed tears on his skirt" is right behind the house, expressing his heart and offering a "poetic heart". Then the whole article will be boring. The same is true of this poem. At the end of the poem, the poet was full of anger and told his long-standing true feelings: "Who knows if he is still singing?" Who will listen to me again? " And then take off the "cicada body" wrapped in the first three sections, so that people can see the author's pure sincerity in serving the country. This kind of sincerity, as the preface says, "is open-minded, not confused by the Tao, not confused by the wings." Sing the breeze of the tree, rhyme longitudinal; Drinking the dew of high autumn is clear and awesome. "It's not easy to be secular. It's better to drink dew than to maintain' charm'. It is this problem that makes A Political Prisoner Listen to Cicada a masterpiece of Tang poetry, which is superior to the gorgeous poems of various officials in the early Tang Dynasty.
