Author: Meng Haoran
In the past thirty years, the author of this article has made two achievements in kung fu.
Looking for water in wuyue, I hate it all.
Swim across Jinghu Lake in a boat and pay tribute to Xie Lingyun.
At present, what is the use of worldly fame to enjoy the wine in the cup?
I have been busy in this world for 30 years, and I have achieved nothing, whether it is civilian or military.
Go to Wuyue to find the tranquility of mountains and rivers, and get tired of the secular disturbance in Luoyang and Kyoto.
Swim across Jinghu Lake by boat to pay tribute to Xie Lingyun.
We just enjoy the wine in the cup, why care about the fame in the world?
Creative background: Meng Haoran went to Chang 'an to take the imperial examination at the age of 40, but failed to become famous. Around 728 AD (the 16th year of Kaiyuan), he visited Luoyang, the eastern capital. He stayed in Luoyang for more than half a year, and the following autumn, he set out from Luoyang to roam wuyue (now Jiangsu and Zhejiang). This poem was written on the eve of the poet's arrival in wuyue from Luoyang, so it was titled "Leaping out of Luoyang".
Appreciation: Meng Haoran's From Luo to Yue describes the event from Luo to Yue, and at the same time expresses the poet's frustration and resentment, and depicts a bold and arrogant lyric hero. The poet is forty-one years old at this time and has been studying spontaneously for thirty years. But "nothing". Because "tired of the dust in Luo Jing", so "looking for mountains and rivers of five mountains". When the poem is inverted, it is powerful, rhythmic and expressive. The word "tired" vividly shows the poet's tired mood in Luoyang, Chang 'an. "Enjoy what is in the cup" is borrowed from Tao Yuanming's Poem of Responsibility. The last two sentences implicitly use the words of Hans Zhang: "It is better to have a glass of wine right away than to have a name behind me." (Biography of Jin Shu Wen Yuan Hans Zhang) To the effect: "I drink and have fun, whether his name is called or not. This is also an angry statement. The poet has a strong desire to become famous, hoping to fight the sky like a swan and make great achievements. However, talents are not satisfied and appreciated, and there is no way to serve the country, so we have to go sightseeing. The first couplet summed up his hard-working and frustrated life, and the last couplet showed his attitude towards life. The poet bid farewell to Luoyang and went to wuyue for the purpose of finding famous mountains and beautiful waters, hoping to forget the secular world in the natural landscape and find a home.
About the author: Meng Haoran (689 ~ 740) was a poet in Tang Dynasty, whose real name was Hao, and his word was Hao Ran. Xiangyang Xiangzhou (now Xiangfan, Hubei) Xiangyang is known as Meng Xiangyang in the world. Because I have never been an official, I am also called Monsanto. Born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he was ambitious to use the world in his early years. After experiencing the hardships and pains of his official career, he can be self-respecting, good and a lifelong hermit. Once lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain. Traveling to Chang 'an at the age of 40 should be promoted by Jinshi. He once wrote a poem named Gong Qing in imperial academy, and he wrote for it. His life experience is relatively simple, and the theme of poetry creation is not wide. Meng's poems are mostly five-character short stories, mostly pastoral poems and secluded poems, and most of them are in the mood of serving immortals. Although it is not without cynicism, it is more of a poet's self-expression. He and Wang Wei are also called "Wang Meng", which is far less extensive than Wang Shi's poems, but he has unique attainments in the world. Meng Haoran collected three volumes, and now he compiled two volumes of poetry.
