The moral of Preface to the Lanting Pavilion is to narrate the beauty of the landscape around the Lanting Pavilion and the joy of the party, and express the author's feelings about the impermanence of life and death. It embodies Wang Xizhi's positive outlook on life, and expresses the author's sigh that great events are not frequent, and that "short-cuts will follow suit, and the end will be over."
Preface to Lanting, also known as Preface to Lanting Collection, Preface to Lanting Banquet Collection, Preface to Linhe, Preface to Zan and Zan Tie, was written by Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
On the third day of the third lunar month in the ninth year of Emperor Yonghe of Jin Dynasty (353), Wang Xizhi, who was "the first to cross Zhejiang, had an elegant gathering with 41 celebrities, such as Gao Shi Xie 'an and Sun Chuo, in Lanting (now under Lanzhu Mountain outside Shaoxing). Participants wrote poems, expressed their arms and copied them into a collection. Everyone recommended the convener of this gathering, the respected Wang Xizhi, to write a preface to record this elegant collection, namely "Preface to Lanting Collection".
it shows that things die when they are alive, and there is sorrow when they are happy; Things from birth to extinction, from joy to sorrow, its time is very short, suddenly, just like a blink of an eye; The survival of life is not subjective, but depends on the nature. At that time, he criticized the thoughts of advocating Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, talking about Hyunri, being impractical, being empty-minded, caring for mountains and rivers, and laughing at Shan Ye.
Significance of the preface to Lanting:
First, write about the grand occasion of Lanting assembly to highlight the "joy" of life. The first paragraph of the article specifically describes the grand occasion of Lanting assembly, some of which are usual and necessary explanations, some are about the beauty of nature, and some are about the "grand occasion" of the assembly. Celebrities feel the warm spring breeze under the clear sky. They can look up from afar, look up and look down, drink and compose poems, and talk about their intimate feelings. How painful it is! Come on! Happy! The function of "looking up at the vastness of the universe and looking down at the prosperity of categories" lies in "seeing the world better" and "extremely entertaining". Here, while expressing the happiness of life, it also shows an open-minded state of mind. This paragraph begins with writing a grand event and ends with expressing feelings; In the name of "repairing", it is true to be happy. -Second, write the similarities and differences between the calm and the impetuous to highlight the "pain" of death.
In the second paragraph of the article, there are two kinds of people, one is a person who likes "quietness" and the other is a person who likes "impatience". It tells us three things: first, things die when they are alive, and there is sorrow when they are happy; Second, things from birth to extinction, from joy to sorrow, its time is very short, suddenly, just like a blink of an eye; Third, the survival or extinction of life is not subjective, but depends on the nature. From this, how precious life is! Because of this, the author quotes the old adage "Death and life are also great"; Because of this, the author lamented: "Isn't it painful!"
Third, the article is written to criticize the nihilistic ideas of celebrities. It shows that he values life and death, and he wants to inspire those so-called celebrities who are confused and don't let life slip away from him easily. Fourth, the article warns the "after-viewers" with the view of "death and life are also great".
to sum up, the article recounts the grand occasion of Lanting rally, expounds the viewpoint that "it is great to die and live", and criticizes the nihility of the scholar-officials. Obviously, it is based on feelings and feelings. However, as the "preface" of a collection, in addition to criticizing the nihilistic ideas of the literati, it is also necessary to talk about the purpose of the collection. Attending the Lanting rally were celebrities in the society at that time, such as Xie An, Sun Chuo and others. As mentioned above, how painful it is for them to draw water, drink and compose poems and talk about their intimate feelings! Come on! Happy! However, "to its delight, between pitching, has been a thing of the past." In this regard, the author thinks that "it hurts"! Therefore, collecting their poems will not make them disappear, but make them immortal, so that "those who look after them will also feel gentle", like the author, giving birth to the feeling that "life is too great" Why is this happening? Because "although the world is different, it is so exciting that it is-also", because "the future looks at the present, and the present looks at the past." This can't help but make people lament what a good heart the author has.
