Ancient poetry is a treasure of Chinese traditional culture, which has been passed down for thousands of years and still shines brilliantly in contemporary times.
Ancient poetry has taught us to be as free and easy as Li Bai in our life, laugh at the sky and go out. Are we Artemisia people? When his official career was not smooth and he was hunted down, Li Bai still drank and recited poems, and lived up to his youth. In life, we may encounter many hardships and fail to reach the peak of our ideals and ambitions, but don't be discouraged and face it freely. The bitterness of life is just the gentle breeze of the free and easy chivalrous man, which brings coolness and soberness. Li Bai still drinks and sings poems when his official career is not smooth, and he is the most free and easy person in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Today, we should have the spirit of poetry and immortals in our sufferings.
Ancient poetry has taught us to be like Du Fu, full of compassion, humanitarian mind, and secure a vast expanse of buildings, which greatly protects the world's poor people's faces, and is as peaceful as a mountain. Du Fu's life was down and out, and he cared about the people and scholars all his life, but he failed to realize his ideal ambition of serving the country and the people. However, under such a difficult situation in his life, his poems were all about the sufferings of the people, the unsuccessful scholars and the corruption of the court. He used his own poems to express sympathy for the people, pity for the people with lofty ideals, and cherish humanitarian spirit and great love. In today's era, we need too many people who plead for the people, make decisions for the people and do things for the people, and too many people who are compassionate and dedicated to the people like poets.
Ancient poetry has taught us a kind of attitude towards life, just like Tao Yuanming picking chrysanthemums under the hedge, leisurely seeing Nanshan's contentment, retiring to the countryside to follow his own mind in Xanadu, and being a comfortable lifestyle for people in the Peach Blossom Garden. There are many choices in life, and the one that suits you is the best. Tao Yuanming's pastoral retreat, returning to his own heart and being in harmony with nature may not be a good way of life. In today's society, lifestyle choices are more diversified, as long as you can feel fun in your life, that's enough.
We learned ancient poems from childhood, but it takes us a lifetime to understand these words left by the ancients.
