Jasper dressed as a tree, hanging down ten thousand green silk tapestries.
I don't know who cut the thin leaves, but the spring breeze in February is like scissors.
An ordinary willow tree has turned into a graceful girl next door in Lao He's pen, wearing a long skirt with blue silk hanging down. Early spring and February are lovely and graceful. In the poet's imagination, the description of the whole poem is from big to small, from the whole to the details, and the willow is ready to come out, especially at the end, it is outlined with slender light green willow leaves, and the spring breeze in early spring and February is not a general compliment.
This poem brings the beautiful breath of spring, full of youthful vitality and joy in the beautiful world.
But you know what? He was 86 years old when he wrote this poem. Will you sigh in your heart: What kind of old man is this? After decades of ups and downs, can he still have such a mood and write such a poem full of innocence?
He Zhangzhi's childhood is undoubtedly the luckiest. Born in Yuezhou (now Zhejiang) in 659. He Zhangzhi spent his best teenage years carefree.
Unconsciously, he reached the age of 36, which was the year of Wu Zetian's license (659). After the resumption of the imperial examination, He left home to study in Beijing. After attending scientific research in Beijing, He was fortunate to be the first scholar and senior brother in Zhejiang, and successfully obtained the position of fourth doctor.
Since then, He lived comfortably in Chang 'an, Kyoto for fifty years, retired to his hometown at the age of 86, and died in his hometown at the end of 744 AD.
He is the oldest poet in the Tang Dynasty. After his death, Tang Suzong posthumously awarded him the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.
It can be said that He Zhangzhi's life was smooth and smooth, with a beginning and an end, and he lived a long life, spanning the prosperous Tang Dynasty. How many poets in the Tang Dynasty had such lucky experiences and honors? He became an official and rose to the top of the world, ranking third. When he abdicated, the emperor gave poems, and the prince led hundreds of officials to send them away. In the long feudal society of more than 2,000 years, I'm afraid it's unprecedented, and there will be no one after it.
It is true that later generations say that China is a rare poet who lived a smooth life and lived in a secure old age.
But what makes me curious is, as an official who has been with you for 50 years and a person who has been with you for more than 20 years, how did he achieve smooth sailing? People say that accompanying a gentleman is like accompanying a tiger. What kind of ability does CSI have to ensure his own life safety?
Perhaps, from a story, we can learn about Lao He.
This story is very famous. It's called Scarab of Wine, which tells the story of him and Li Bai binge drinking.
In 742 AD, He was 84 years old and happened to meet Li Bai, 465,438+0 years old, at Zike Taoist Temple in Chang 'an. At that time, Li Bai, who had a small and poetic name, was visiting Princess Yu Zhen. When he was applying for a job, he was very happy to meet the great poet he admired. He had long heard of Li Bai, and they hit it off as soon as they met, and they became "friends who have forgotten the new year".
When Li Bai presented his "Wuqi Qu" to veterans, CSI read it and gave a high evaluation on the spot. "This poem can make the gods cry." Xiao Li was overjoyed, and presented his new work "Difficult Road to Shu" to Lao He Axe Zheng. Csi looked at it carefully and praised Xiao Li: It seems that you are the white Venus in the sky! (The name of Li Bai's "fallen immortal" came from this)
Next, he invited Li Bai to dinner. (instead of the younger generation Xiao Li entertaining CSI, it's a bit interesting).
So, the two were heroic and dry in the pub, indulging in drinking and singing, drunk and dreaming. When He Zhangzhi paid the bill, he found that the wine money was used up, so he untied the scarab bag at his waist to "pay the bill". This "golden turtle" is an ornament given by the royal family according to its rank, which is very precious. It can be seen that he took a fancy to Li Bai.
It can be seen from this story that Lao He is good at being a man.
Amiable and approachable.
When I met Li Bai, he was already a world-famous poet and court official. At that time, Li Bai, a little-known junior, had no airs. They hit it off at once and were very speculative.
Intellectual talents are willing to be Bole.
Broad-minded CSI made no secret of his appreciation of Li Bai's talent, and spoke highly of it, calling Little Ali a "fallen fairy". This kind of magnanimous sincerity is rare. After he returned to China, he strongly recommended it to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Bai had to be appointed as an academician. Since then, there have been many poets in China.
Generous, informal.
When we met for the first time, we took the initiative to pay the bill and found that there was not enough money. We would rather give up the scarab bag given by the emperor. In his eyes, human feelings are more precious than things.
Because of his open mind and true feelings, he made a wide range of friends, and he was called the "Four Scholars of Wuzhong" with Zhang, Zhang Xu and Bao Rong. The painter Wu Daozi once studied calligraphy from him; He can get along with Meng Haoran, Du Fu and other younger generations. He also made friends with Yan Weizhen, the father of Wang Changling, Yan Tingzhi, Li Yong and Yan Zhenqing.
From the above analysis, it is not difficult to understand why He Zhangzhi can live a stable life and be happy in his later years.
He has a sense of proportion, and he knows more about it. He is informal, but he has a degree in secret; He likes to make friends, from the public to the people; He drinks, talks about poetry and Zen, does not involve politics, seeks benefits, and gangs; He is a backward man, knowledgeable and popular.
According to modern standards, He is a typical healthy personality with excellent IQ and EQ, mental health and excellent upbringing, so he is rated as personable and generous.
The poem Liu Yong was written in the early spring of 744 AD, when Zhang Zhi returned to his hometown of Yin Shan to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

I don't know who cut the thin leaves, but the spring breeze in February is like scissors.
He vividly described the characteristics of weeping willows, praised the beauty of spring, and expressed his happy mood as a teenager when he returned to his hometown in his later years.
How can such a life not be smooth?
