Nostalgia, singing and smelling flute fu, is like a rotten ke in my hometown.
On the side of the sinking boat, Qian Fan passes, and in front of the diseased tree, Wan Muchun.
today, I listen to a song by Jun, so I can take a glass of wine for a while.
I spent twenty-three years in the bleak places like Bashan and Chushui. I miss my old friend and recite the flute and Fu in vain, but it's not the old days when I come back for a long time. Next to the sunken ship, there is Qian Fan passing by, but in front of the diseased tree, there is a struggle for spring. Today, I listened to the poem you recited for me, so I can cheer up with this wine for the time being.
Thinking inspiration:
This poem is a reward poem for Bai Juyi's Drunken Gift to Twenty-eight Ambassadors of Liu. The poem twists and turns to express the poet's indignant and uneven state of mind when he was hit by his political enemies and long-term banishment from other places. Among them, the couplet "Qian Fan on the side of the sinking boat, Wan Muchun in front of the sick tree" is a famous sentence with rich image and profound meaning, which turns the depression of the first two sentences into boldness. This sentence is not only a thank you for your care for your friends, but also a encouragement to your friends, which means that although I have been demoted far away, there are still many successors. The author is not depressed in hardship and frustration, but takes it calmly with an optimistic and open-minded attitude. The whole poem has strong appeal and contains rich philosophy of life.
For the couplet "Qian Fan on the side of the sinking boat, Wan Muchun in front of the sick tree" in "Rewarding Lotte at the first dinner in Yangzhou", the "text commentary" in the Teacher's Teaching Book published by People's Education Edition says: "The neck couplet ... takes" sinking boat "and" sick tree "as the contrast, depicting the vibrant scene of Qian Fan competing for development and competing for spring.
Later, in the related materials, Bian Xiaoxuan and Bian Qi appreciated this couplet:' Qian Fan' and' Wanmu' are metaphors for the upstarts who were proud of their careers after his relegation. This couplet is the angry language of Liu Yuxi lamenting his life experience. "
For the understanding of "Qian Fan" and "Wanmu", I think what Bian Shi said is more reasonable. We can contact Liu's other two poems to have a look.
in Yong Zhenyuan (85), after Liu Yuxi failed to participate in Wang Shuwen's political reform, he was demoted as a Sima in Langzhou. By the tenth year of Yuanhe (815), some people in the court remembered Liu Zongyuan and others who used him and were demoted at the same time. After returning to Chang 'an from Langzhou, he wrote a poem "Yuanhe ten years from Langzhou to Beijing, giving a play to the gentlemen who look at flowers". The poem says: "The world of mortals in Ziyang is coming, and no one can but see the flowers back. There are thousands of trees in Xuandu Guanli, and all of them are planted after Liu Lang went. " On the surface, the first two sentences of this poem describe the grand occasion of seeing flowers, and secretly praise the prosperity and beauty of peach blossoms. The last two sentences are related to one's own situation by things and people, which seems to have a sigh of "how can a tree be so beautiful?" In fact, the poet in his bones regards Thousand Tree Peach Blossoms as an upstart who has become more and more proud in politics because of opportunism in the past ten years. At the end of the sentence, he pointed out that these seemingly great upstarts were just promoted after "I" was pushed out. His contempt and satire are bitter and make his political opponents feel very uncomfortable. So as soon as this poem came out, the author and his comrades-in-arms were immediately attacked and retaliated, and they were demoted again.
It was another 14 years, that is, the second year of Daiwa (829), before the poet was recalled to Chang 'an. The poet's "Visit the Xuandu View again" says: "Half of the 1-acre courtyard is covered with moss, and the peach blossoms are all blooming. Where do the Taoists return? Liu Lang came again today. " Deliberately bring up the past and challenge the powerful people who attacked him. Poets still use this method, ostensibly writing about the ups and downs of peach blossoms and the feelings of unpredictable things in the Xuandu view, but in fact they still regard peach blossoms as more expensive than upstarts, and Taoists refer to those in power who cracked down on the innovation movement at that time. After more than 2 years, some of these people died and some lost power, so the upstarts promoted by them changed their original Xuan momentum and gave way to others, just like "the peach blossoms are all blooming", and the reason why the peach blossoms are all gone is the result of "where the peach growers go". At this time, "I", the excluded person, came back again. The poet once again cast a contemptuous laugh at the political opponents who stifled that political innovation. (see Shen Zuyu)
After careful study, the metaphors of "Wanmu", "Qian Fan" and "Qianshutao" are the same. Only in the two "Peach" poems, the author shows more contempt and ridicule, while in front of Bai Letian, an old friend, the poet opens his heart and is more angry and depressed. Sure. Liu Yuxi has always been proud, bold and persevering, which can be seen in the fourth part, "Listen to a song of Jun today, and rely on the spirit of a glass of wine for the time being".
