This sentence was written in the early spring of 1 167 (the third year of Song Xiaozong Avenue) by Lu You, a poet in the Song Dynasty. This sentence describes the poet walking on a shady road, wondering if there is no road, and suddenly becoming cheerful, which not only embodies the poet's hope for the future, but also tells the philosophy of ups and downs of the world.
The poem was written in 1 167 (the third year of Xiaozong Road in Southern Song Dynasty). Prior to this, Lu You served as the chief judge of Longxing House. Because he strongly sponsored Zhang Jun's Northern Expedition, the capitulators illegally accused him of "apologizing, clamoring for right and wrong, and urging Zhang Jun to go to war" and went home. Of course, the poet is indignant. Compared with the treacherous officialdom, the simple life in my hometown will naturally bring infinite comfort.
In addition, although the poet seems to be leisurely, he failed to forget the state affairs. People who grasp the country are short-sighted and have no long-term plans. However, the poet did not lose heart and was sure that one day he would not be extremely successful. This state of mind coincides with the place where you want to go, so the two sides negotiated and produced a connection between "the weight of the mountain" and "the bright future".
Author Lu You profile:
Lu You, a native of Shanyin County, Yuezhou (now Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province), is the grandson of Lu Cheng Dian, a writer, historian and patriotic poet of Southern Song Dynasty. With Youmao, Yang Wanli and Fan Chengda, they are called the four great masters. Lu You was born in a scholarly family and studied tirelessly since he was a child. At the age of 20, he had a poetic name.
At the age of 29, he went to Beijing to take the Jinshi exam, ranking first according to his grades. Qin Gui was removed from the list because of his jealousy. After Song Xiaozong acceded to the throne, he used Lu You as a scholar, but he was rejected by the main faction because of his insistence on resisting gold. After Song Guangzong succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to Doctor of Ritual and Examiner of Records Institute, and was soon dismissed from office for "mocking romantics".
Lu You has many literary talents, especially his achievements in poetry. There are more than 9,300 existing poems in the world, which can be roughly divided into three periods. Before he entered Shu at the age of 46, he tended to write. The period from entering Shu to retiring at the age of 64 is the mature period of his poetry creation, and it is also a period of great changes in his poetry style. He changed from "algae painting" in his early years to pursuing unrestrained style, full of fighting atmosphere and patriotic passion.
