Edited in addition to 4 famous lines
Why did Li He's beautiful lines inspire so many people who love poetry to work hard for them over the past 1,200 years?
For one thousand and two hundred years, people’s hearts have been crying. "If the sky is sentimental, the sky will also grow old." In Li's poems, it is a kind of helplessness of poverty and ill-fated life. In Ou's poems, it is an elegant and poignant mood of farewell. In Sun's poems, the mood of farewell and separation is increased. Undiminished, in Mao's poems, it turns into the aura of a victor and a king. The similarities are all due to the unfinished word of love.
Because of love, Liang and Zhu repay "the lingering love in this life" to "the butterflies fly together in the next life"; because of love, Lu You and Wan Jun can only "people become different, and today is not yesterday"; because of love, , although he is the emperor, he can only "hate this forever."
If the sky has feelings, it will grow old; if the moon has no hatred, it will always be round every night. The world's expectations for good things will last forever. However, because of love, how many tears have been shed in this world? I am very affectionate, how many times will you look back?
So, Yan Shu wrote in the poem "Spring in the Jade House":
Ruthlessness is not as painful as sentimentality, and one inch is like thousands of strands.
When the ends of the earth are endless, there is only endless love.
Nalan, a talented scholar of the Qing Dynasty, also said, "Love has become weak in many places, but now it is really not passionate." Later, Wei Zian lamented in "Flower Moon Traces" that "Love turns to ruthlessness when it reaches its end. "Being ruthless is more tiring than being passionate"; in contemporary times, the ending theme of Hsiao Yat-zhi's martial arts film "Nineteen Sisters", "Being passionate is better than being ruthless", has given the best modern interpretation of "If the sky is sentimental, the sky will also grow old" in singing - - "If the next life is still a repetition of this life, even if it is passionate, it will be more painful than being ruthless."
What is love in this world? Direct teaching promises life and death. Although people understand the difference between ruthlessness and passion, they still have not achieved final relief. Because of the loss of the supreme emotion that maintains personal spirituality, life will be dull and colorless. Although there is a lot of helplessness in being sentimental and even affectionate, how can you know that it is not a kind of beauty that is pursued but not found? Traveling back from it, Wan is in the middle of the water.
The sky is not old when there is love, and the moon is always full when there is no hatred. Even if your clothes become wider and wider, you will never regret it. So why not be haggard for you?
