Catching Locusts and Traveling to Leiyunling —— Appreciation of Two Poems by Youzi Youdi (Ⅱ)

There are two songs, * * *, which is the second song. This group of poems was written in August and September of 1074 (the seventh year of Xining), and Su Shi was about to leave Hangzhou to be a judge. That year, Su Shi was thirty-nine. His younger brother Su Zhe (Zi Ziyou) was then Zhang's secretary in Jinan. An Zhi: "Fuyunling is twenty-five miles south of Ganxian County." Yu Qian, a county in Zhejiang, is located in the west of Lin 'an, on the tributary of Fenshui Port. During Su Shi's three years as a judge in Hangzhou, there were floods and droughts every year. As the saying goes, "The prayer of stopping water can't last more than one month, so we should tell it by drought" (Wu Shan prayed for rain). 1074, due to the drought and locust plague in JD.COM, "the aftermath reached Huai and Zhejiang" (Shang Hancheng's photo book, Disaster Injury). Su Shi wrote these two poems and gave them to Su Zhe to express his anguish.

This song focuses on the fatigue when climbing mountains. One or two periods, seasons and scenery. Chongyang is approaching, and the wild chrysanthemums by the stream are blooming with dazzling golden flowers. Three or four sentences. Su Shi hasn't climbed a mountain for a long time. This time, in order to catch locusts, he came to the ridge of Yun Yun, where the rocks were high and steep, and he was very tired. However, he is in the prime of life and his pride has not diminished. Occasionally drinking a glass of wine from the village still makes him feel more energetic. These two sentences are expressed by physiological feelings. Five or six sentences are the feelings of spending the night in a mountain village. In the evening, I stayed alone in a wild shop in a wooded mountain village. After a hard day's work, I forgot it for a while, feeling very humiliated and my dream was stable. However, this moment's leisure has evoked many memories of traveling around the world for many years: the turmoil during that time, the disputes between parties, the hardships of official career, and the suffering brought to the people by this disastrous locust plague. His anger of running around complaining about nowhere to go? All this, come to mind. The poet summed it up with the words "human suffering is long" and expressed his feelings. These two sentences are then sung, from the psychological feelings. The whole Book of Songs is ups and downs, which strongly shows the feeling of depression and naturally brings out the ending sentence.

Finally, he thought of this situation and said angrily, I really want to kill horses and destroy cars like Feng Liang, and then I will run away. As for the so-called hiding things with my belongings, don't worry about it, and don't need to discuss it with me again! According to The Biography of Zhou Xie in the Later Han Dynasty, Feng Liang, a county commandant, was thirty years old and was ordered to see Shangguan. He was "ashamed to be a servant, because he ruined his horses and chariots", and he became an apprentice to a scholar named Du Fu. His family thought he was dead, and it took him more than ten years to return to his hometown. Su Shi's use of this matter is also related to his fatigue and bad mood at this time. "If you use it, you will do it, but if you abandon it, you will be hidden", which is the lesson of Confucius. In feudal society, some meticulous scholar-officials always took their origins seriously. Brother Su Shi often talks about this problem. More than two years ago, Su Shi said in the poem "When I first arrived in Hangzhou, I sent my son to two places": "I can't do current affairs and I can't chase your kindness." Said he didn't want to pursue the new law, but he couldn't lead decisively because he was greedy for your goodness. Shortly after the locust was caught, Su Shi gave Su Zhe a poem "Qinyuanchun" on his way to Mizhou, Hangzhou, saying, "When you use reason, you can hide in me. Why not just watch it at leisure?" I believe that the initiative of being an official or retiring is entirely in my own hands. At this time, triggered by the specific event of catching locusts, Libra leans to that end. This seems to contradict the positive attitude of "controlling locusts" at the beginning and end of the group poem, but it is not. In Su Shi's thought, running for the people's interests and being driven by people in pursuit of new laws are completely different. The endings of the two poems have their own emphasis. When Wutai Poetry Case mentioned four poems of "Sleeping Alone in the Forest", Su Shi himself explained: "It means that the new method of young crops is too complicated to do, which means that his talents are not competent." This is where Su Shi's pain lies. Wang Anshi's political reform is a kind of progress in history, but the new law itself did not solve the problem of farmers; Coupled with some deviations in the implementation of the new law, it has brought disadvantages to farmers. Therefore, we can't completely deny Su Shi because we are dissatisfied with the new law. These two poems show his sympathy for the people more.

This poem is about the great influence of real life on the poet's thoughts and feelings, with profound feelings and meticulous use of things. It is written about feelings that can't be said from the bottom of my heart, and it is also the heartfelt words between brothers, so it is particularly real and touching.
