Kung fu is an important experience of life creation besides Lu You's poems.

To work outside of poetry is to learn to write poetry, not just poetic poetry, but to focus on mastering profound knowledge and participating in social practice. It comes from a poem by Lu You, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, when he taught one of his sons the experience of writing poems.

Original content:

I'm a beginner in poetry, but I want to paint. I don't know much after middle age, and I gradually feel a little grand. Strange things happen occasionally, such as washing a raging wrasse with a stone. Counting the walls of Du Li, I often hate not understanding them. Bai Yuan leans against the door, while Wen Lizhen is self-defeating. It's a pen-end tripod, not samadhi. Poetry is one of the six arts, so why use money? If you want to study poetry, you must work outside it. "("Bo Shi "volume seventy-eight)

Vernacular translation:

When I was a child, when I first learned to write poetry, I only knew how to pursue neat poetry and beautiful rhetoric, and I always worked hard on words. When I was writing poetry in middle age, I began to realize everything, and then I gradually got a glimpse of the grand and profound poetic realm, and I was able to write some good poems, which looked strange and as good as stones washed by turbulence.

Li Bai and Du Fu's poems in Tang Dynasty are insurmountable peaks, with many high walls in front. I hate that I don't understand deeply and I am eager to achieve it. The poems of Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi can only be said at the gate of the high wall. As for Wen and Li Shangyin's poems, they are not worth mentioning. Even their masterpieces may not really understand the three flavors in the poem.

Poetry is one of the six arts. How can it be just a pen and ink game? Therefore, you really need to learn to write poetry, not only in terms of words and sentence patterns, but also in-depth knowledge. The effort to write poetry lies in the experience outside the poem.

Extended data

The main content of Lu You's ci is to express patriotic feelings and express the bitterness of unfulfilled ambition. The characteristic of his ci is to idealize it as a dream, which is in sharp contrast with the sadness of reality. For example, in Complaining about Love, I found a seal in those years of Wanli, I recalled that year, and it was full of sadness.

Lu You also has poems about objects and love, and his "Yongmei the soothsayer" shows the lofty character of perseverance in adversity. The word "Chai Feng red crisp hands" has a fast rhythm and a sad voice. I have sighed twice, touching, touching.
