Kuafu's Poems of Chasing the Sun

1. What is the theme of Tao Yuanming's poems about Kuafu's pursuit of the sun? Tao Yuanming's Reading of the Ninth Poem of Shan Hai Jing Group;

Kuafu's birthday wish is to race against the sun.

Everything goes to Yu Garden, if there is no victory or defeat.

Wonderful power, nothing to pour into the river!

The remaining traces are sent to Deng Lin, and the work is behind.

This poem is based on the famous story of Kuafu's daily life in ancient mythology, praising the failed heroes and placing the complex feelings of those who lost power in some political struggles.

The first two sentences praised Kuafu's ambition. "The Great Northern Wilderness Classic" originally said that "Kuafu overreached himself and wanted Japanese scenery". There seems to be some disapproval between words. However, the poet said: Kuafu has a grand wish to race with the sun! There is an amazing emotion between the lines, which strongly affirms Kuafu's heroic spirit of creating miracles. Praising Kuafu's Walking with Japan is, on the surface, a kind of "great ambition", but in fact it is a lofty ideal beyond the secular world.

"All for" praised Kuafu's strength. According to the original sentence of "Caught in the Jade Valley" in the Great Northern Wilderness Classic, the poet claimed that he arrived at the Yuyuan Garden with the sun, as if it was still difficult to tell the winner, suggesting that he was too strong to surpass his ambition, not "out of his depth", and his ambition of "racing with the sun" was indeed "great ambition" rather than delusion. This statement does not judge whether you win or lose, but only uses the word "like if" to find out, pretending to be an understatement, which has a very happy and expressionless pleasure. The poet's admiration for Kuafu's divine power also implies his admiration for all wizard powers.

The phrase "divine power" eulogizes Kuafu's quantity. "Overseas North Classics" said that "thirst for drink, and drink in the river Wei. River, Wei, drinking Ozawa in the north. " It seems a little unreasonable to imagine a person who has drunk all the Yellow River and Weihe River without quenching his thirst. However, the poet said: Since Kuafu has such a special function of chasing the sun, how can he quench his thirst even if he drinks the water from the river? Show a firm belief in the tone of rhetorical question, and make an extremely strange thing reasonable, thus making people forget its strangeness. In the poet's mind, Kuafu's binge drinking symbolizes his broad mind and magnificent spirit, so he has this enthusiastic praise.

At the end of the article, there are two sentences praising Kuafu's achievements. Haibei Jing said that Kuafu "died of thirst, abandoned his staff and became Deng Lin". Imagine that after Kuafu's death, his walking stick turned into a peach grove, magnificent and tragic, but the reason for this change has not been pointed out so far, as if it were just an accident. The poet decided that this Taoyuan was specially built by Kuafu for the descendants of Hui Ze, saying that Kuafu's last wish was pinned on this Taoyuan, and his outstanding work was still completed behind him. This means that there is a peach forest, which will make the spirit of the latecomers grow, benefit their ambitions and have boundless merits. The poet's praise of Kuafu's last wish is actually a great dedication.
