A poem for a Taoist priest
Author: Wei
It's very cold in the county today, and I suddenly think of people who live in seclusion in the mountains.
You must collect firewood at Jiandi and cook some poor food when you come back.
I want to see you with a bottle of wine, so that you can get some comfort at night.
But how can I find his footprints among the fallen leaves piled up on the bare hillside! ?

Translation of a poem for a Taoist hermit who wears a corner mountain;
It's very cold in the county town today, and I suddenly think of people who live in seclusion in the mountains. Be sure to burn firewood at the bottom of the ravine and cook something bitter when you come back. I want to take a bottle of wine to see you, so that you can get some comfort in the stormy night. But autumn leaves fall all over the empty mountains, where can I find your footprints?

A poem is set in Chuanjiao Mountain, a Taoist hermit:
This poem was written in the autumn of 783 (four years after the founding of Tang Dezong) or 784 (the first year of Xingyuan). After the Anshi Rebellion, Xuanzong went to Shu, Wei decided to study, became an official in Luoyang, and was forced to resign, and later became the secretariat of Chuzhou. The creation of this poem coincides with the author's appointment as the secretariat of Chuzhou.
Appreciation of the Poems of a Hermit in Chuanjiao Mountain;
The title of this poem is a poem for Chuanjiao Mountain, a Taoist hermit. Since it is made, it will naturally show the feelings of remembering the Taoist priests in the mountains. But remember that it is only one layer, and there is a deeper layer that readers need to appreciate.
The key to poetry lies in cold words. This is the cold word that the whole poem reveals. The first sentence is not only that the weather in the county is cold, but also that the poet is cold in his heart. Then, because of these two kinds of coldness, the poet suddenly remembered the Taoist priest in the mountain. Taoist priests in the mountains go to the bottom of the ravine to collect firewood in this cold climate, and when they collect firewood, they cook white stone. Ge Hong's Biography of Immortals said that there was a Mr. Baishi who wanted to cook it and lived in Baishi Mountain. Taoist practice, on the other hand, should be timely. Then it is clear who is the guest in the mountain.
The Taoist priest is practicing hard in the mountains, and the poet misses his old friend and wants to send him a bottle of wine, so that he can get a little friendship comfort in this cold autumn night. However, the poet thought on the first floor that they are all people who live on every mountain and stop water when they meet water. Today, they may settle next to this rock, and tomorrow they may move to another cave. What's more, when autumn comes, the mountains are covered with fallen leaves, and even the road is hard to find, and the footprints we have passed are naturally covered with fallen leaves, and we don't know where to find each other.
Although this poem is understated, it makes readers feel the poet's emotional ups and downs. At first, I thought of the Taoist priest in the mountains because the county was cold, then I thought of sending wine to comfort him, and finally I felt helpless because I couldn't find him. And the poet's own inner loneliness can't be dispelled in the end.
The poet thought of his friend on a stormy night and wanted to bring wine to visit him, which shows the deep friendship between them. While the leaves are falling all over the mountain, I'm afraid I can't meet each other, so I can only send poems and express my feelings, but also reveal a touch of melancholy. The whole poem is understated, but it is profound in plainness, revealing the vacillation and repetition of the poet's feelings. At first, because the county was cold, I thought of the Taoist priest in the mountains and thought of sending wine to comfort him. Finally, I felt helpless because I couldn't find them. And my own loneliness, there is no way to solve.
This poem looks like a bleak distant scene, but it inspires people to imagine a dull but profound feeling. See the broad in the bleak, see the deep in the plain. This kind of writing with a pen gives people a sense of divine action, which is the clever use of image thinking. Wei's poetry, the combination of emotion and image is very natural, which is what the so-called pen-changing means.
Author information:
Wei (737 ~ 792) was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Chang 'an (now Xi, Shaanxi) people. Born into a noble family, he entered the palace as Sanweilang from the tenth year of Tianbao (75 1) to the last year of Tianbao. After the Anshi Rebellion, Xuanzong went to Shu. He was wanted for dereliction of duty and decided to study. In the 13th year of Dali (778), he was appointed as a magistrate of Hubei Province. In the middle of Jian 'an, he was appointed as the secretariat of Chuzhou. In the first year of Zhenyuan (785), it was changed to Jiangzhou Secretariat. Zhenyuan entered the DPRK in four years and became a doctor of Zuo Si. The following year, it was the secretariat of Suzhou. Zhenyuan retired in seven years and lived in Yongding Temple in Suzhou. The world calls it Wei and Wei Suzhou. Xuanzong was Wei's bodyguard when he was young, and his life was bohemian. After middle age, the local officials in Zhangzhou County witnessed the sufferings of the people and the disadvantages of society, and their thoughts gradually matured and they became clean local governors. His poems won a good reputation in the Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi's "Nine Books with the Same Yuan" said that Wei Suzhou, who is close to ancient times, not only sings beautifully, but also has irony. Such as Picking Jade, Summer Ice Song and Five Miscellaneous Poems. It reveals the happy life of princes and nobles, reflects the sufferings of jade pickers, ice pickers and cold women, and can be said to be the new aspiration of Yuan and Bai Yuefu. However, among Wei's poems, the most famous is his pastoral poems, which were later classified as the pastoral school. His representative works, such as Farewell to Friends in Huaishang Guangling, Farewell to Li Zhou in the Night Rain, You Kaiyuan Jing She and so on, are beautiful and natural, expressing people's feelings that are difficult to express in plain. There is no lack of heroic momentum in his landscape poems. For example, the momentum of "West Cold Mountain" flows from thousands of miles to the great river. Vast expanse's land and patchwork landscapes fully show everyone's handwriting and talent, which is beyond the reach of ordinary pastoral poets. The highest achievement of Wei's poetry creation is five-character poetry, which has great influence at that time and later generations.
