Sweet words are not faithful, and the world is much thinner than Su Qin.
From the wind to the grass, wealth rises to the sky.
If you don't see the trees on the top of the mountain, you will be paid to destroy them.
Would you like to pour mud into the well? Go out and make dust. Appreciating the philosophy of making friends, the poem "Taiping Yulan" is quoted from "Ancient Songs" and belongs to "Miscellaneous Songs". Elegance, an ancient plucked instrument, is a topic that has nothing to do with the lyrics. This song seems to be patchwork. The first four sentences are about how to make friends and know people, and the last six sentences are about how to live and protect yourself. In short, it is a summary of life experience, which belongs to the same type as some cautionary metaphors in Han Yuefu.
"Make friends with each other, why do you want to kiss each other?" These two sentences mean that intimate friends are closer than flesh and blood. The first sentence says, to make friends, you should make friends with your heart and know yourself. This is a true friend, an amiable and trustworthy friend. The second sentence is about why blood relatives are considered relatives. This is compared with the closest relatives of bosom friends and flesh and blood. Family ties, if you don't know their hearts, can also become passers-by or enemies; On the contrary, a close friend can be a real close friend. Throughout the ages, there are many examples of these two aspects. These two sentences are the summary and generalization of this situation. "Sweet words are not faithful, and the world is thin and Su Qin." These two sentences are about how to make bosom friends. Sweet talk is sweet talk. During the Warring States Period, Su Qin was good at rhetoric, lobbying monarchs of various countries, and each had his own rhetoric. He was regarded as an expert in slapping movies in history. To make friends, you can't just listen to each other's sweet words. As the old saying goes, "Hua Yan is empty, but it is also true." Talking about illness is also sweet, and talking about medicine is also bitter. " It can be seen that gorgeous words and sweet words are often false, so they are "disloyal" and harmful. No faith, no sincerity, no true feelings. The thin world means that the world is weak, but the atmosphere is not good. There are too many Su Qin, that is, too many people talk sweetly. It is precisely because of this world style that we should pay special attention to making friends. These two sentences are a summary and generalization of the experience and lessons of making friends. The above is the first content of this poem, which is Chen's way of making friends and knowing people.
"From the wind to the grass, wealth rises to the sky." These two sentences take grass as a metaphor Grass is blown up by the wind, and some fall down temporarily with the wind, but it can stand up and grow after the wind. Others are blown into the sky with the wind and become nouveau riche, but as soon as the wind stops, they will fall and become helpless outcasts. Instead of pursuing temporary wealth and flashy vanity, it is better to be content with poverty and leave no roots. These two sentences have different meanings. The first sentence is "from the wind", the second sentence is the antonym "rich" (poor), and the second sentence is "grass". Prosperous, invincible, plummeting. "If you can't see the tree on the top of the mountain, you will pay for it." Destroy (by mistake), destroy and fall. These two sentences are compared with a tree. I didn't see the trees on the mountain. If the position is high, it will be high. It seems that it can be looked down upon, but once it is destroyed, it will still be cut down for firewood. Although the powerful are arrogant, once they collapse, they are as worthless as firewood. "In the mud well? Go out and do dust. " These two sentences are compared with well mud, which means: can the mud in the well sink to the bottom of the well forever without thinking about coming out of the well to see the light of day? But once you reach the well, the sun is shining, the mud is dry, and when the wind blows, it becomes dust flying all over the sky. If you don't want to sink into the lower level and want to show your face, the result can only be like dust. Combining these three metaphors, it is intended to explain that you would rather live in the lower class, be content with poverty, not seek wealth, not seek power, and not seek publicity. This is the experience that people in the era of political turmoil summed up to protect themselves. The author has seen too many upstarts, snobs, fame and fortune fans who want to show their faces, and their fate, so he draws the above conclusion and chooses the way he wants to go: a gentleman who is poor will save himself. This is the road that Tao Yuanming took later. The above is the second content of this poem, which is the method that Chen said to keep himself alive.
An old friend, an official in Southern Yan, has a better name. It's rare for an old friend to be bleak in Jiyuan, so where can I climb up and send it back? This old friend prepared a delicious meal and invited me to his hospitable farm. Tourists wandering outside should have been drunk and stayed with each other for fear that the bell would ring. Whether the old friend will come or not tonight will make people do their best. I know my friends will go upstairs sooner or later, expecting my return. In early spring, please give me a plum flower, so that I can feel the warmth and brightness of spring early. I'm also afraid of hiding pear flowers in the deep courtyard, and I'll make an old friend cry. The servant is trying to clean the Rose Path. I made an appointment with my old friend yesterday. Why not go home? There are autumn mountains in Huaishang. After his sad old friend died, he ignored this new poem. I also borrowed West Lake grass from last year's people. Friends, if my friends in Luoyang invite me; Just say I'm still Bing Xin Okho, and stick to my faith! Respect the old friend, miss me, and care most. The bamboo edge will still fly away when it meets the lotus outside. In addition, old friends are new, and the Han altar continues.
