background
In the second year of Tang Jingzong Baoli (826), Liu Yuxi went on strike and returned to Luoyang, while Bai Juyi returned to Luoyang from Suzhou, and they met in Yangzhou. Bai Juyi wrote "Drunken Gifts to Eighteen Generals Liu" at the banquet as a meeting gift: "Bring me a glass of wine to drink and play chopsticks with you. In the poem, it is helpless to call the national hand a servant and crush his head. Seeing the scenery is lonely. "
Make an appreciative comment
Liu Yuxi's poem "Reward" inherits Bai's poems and focuses on the poet's feelings in a specific environment. In Bai's poems, Bai Juyi expressed infinite feelings about Liu Yuxi's experience, and the last two sentences said: "I also know that there are too many names lost in 23 years." On the one hand, I lamented Liu Yuxi's unfortunate fate, on the other hand, I praised Liu Yuxi's talent and fame. I said, you deserve bad luck. However, 23 years of misfortune is too much. These two poems contain praise in sympathy, which is very tactful. Because Bai Juyi said twenty-three years at the end of the poem, Liu Yuxi went on to say at the beginning of the poem: "Bashan and Chu rivers are desolate, and twenty-three years have given up on themselves." He has lived in the desolate area of Bashan Chushui for 23 years. One-on-one, which shows that friends have confided in each other.
Then, the poet naturally felt: "Homesickness is empty, and I feel like a rotten ke when I go to my hometown." He said that he had been away for 23 years, and now he was back. Many old friends had died, so he could only recite Wendy Fu in vain to express his condolences. This time he came back as if it had been a lifetime ago, and he felt that the personnel were completely different. It was not the old days. The latter sentence uses the allusions of Wang Li Lanke, implying that he is derogatory.
There are two sentences in Bai Juyi's poem: "The scenery is long and lonely, and the official position of the Manchu dynasty is abolished alone", which means that all the peers have been promoted, and only you have wasted your life alone in a desolate place, which is quite unfair to Liu Yuxi. In this regard, Liu Yuxi wrote in the poem: "Qian Fan is at the edge of the shipwreck and Wan Muchun is in front of the sick tree." Before a sick tree, everything is spring. He excavated these two sentences from Bai Juyi's poems, but comforted Bai Juyi not to grieve for his loneliness and waste, and showed an open-minded attitude towards the changes of the world and the rise and fall of his official career. These two poems echo Bai's poems "Life is paramount" and "I know that my name is broken only when I get married", but their ideological realm should be changed. This didn't make him depressed. As he wrote in another poem: "Sang Yu is late, but it is still full of summer." His sick tree still needs to be updated to welcome spring. Because of their vivid images, these two poems are often quoted and given new meanings, which indicates that new things will definitely replace old things.
It is precisely because the couplet poem "Sinking Boat" suddenly cheered up and changed the sad and gloomy mood in front, and the couplet went down with the trend and wrote: "Listen to your song today, drink it for the time being." Pointed out the significance of rewarding Bai Juyi. I can't help feeling after listening to your poem today, so cheer up for a while! Under the enthusiastic care of his friends, Liu Yuxi showed his perseverance by saying that he would cheer up and rejoin his life. His poems are ups and downs, bold and unconstrained in depression, and they are excellent works in rewarding poems.
In his poems, Liu Yuxi first followed the sentence "I know that being a talented person has lost too much in the past 23 years" at the end of Bai Shi's poems, and expressed infinite bitterness and resentment about his relegation and abandonment. Then he wrote about his feelings of returning: his old friend has passed away, and there is only endless nostalgia, but he is completely different, as if he were a lifetime ago. Before a sick tree, a thousand trees strive for spring. It is full of impassioned spirit to wash away sadness and depression. The end of the poem is not only a thank you for your concern, but also an encouragement to your friends, which shows the poet's firm will and optimistic spirit. The whole poem is sincere in emotion and cadence, which not only embodies the profound philosophy of life, but also has a strong artistic appeal.
