Wang Anshi wrote a riddle poem. Why did it take thousands of years to be guessed right?

China has a long history in ancient times. In the long years, many outstanding figures have emerged. They created many excellent works with their own wisdom, leaving precious spiritual food and cultural treasures for future generations, such as Wang Anshi, a famous writer in the Song Dynasty.

Wang Anshi, a native of Linchuan (now Fuzhou, Jiangxi) in the Song Dynasty, was a famous thinker, politician, writer and reformer in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the history of China, Wang Anshi was even known as "1 1 century China reformer", which made great contributions to the reform of feudal politics.

Wang Anshi made great achievements in politics and had a far-reaching influence on the Song Dynasty. In literature, he was quick-witted and was called one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties by later generations. Such a man was born brilliant and resourceful, so he left many classic works for later generations, such as his poems.

Poetry riddle

Wang Song Anshi

The beauty pretended to be drunk and asked for help, revealing the snow-white skin on her chest.

I can't find it when I go to settle accounts, which makes him full of feng shui.

Obviously, this is a poem, but it is also a puzzle. What people have to do is to guess the answer from it and show their wisdom. Of course, some puzzles are not so easy to guess, such as this poem by Wang Anshi. Although the mystery is easy to understand, it can't understand what the author really wants to express. It is precisely because of this that this mysterious poem was speculated by people thousands of years later.

In this poem, the first sentence "A beautiful woman pretends to be drunk and asks for help" depicts a state in which a beautiful woman needs help after being drunk. However, the beauty at this time is not really drunk, but fake drunk. As long as people act, they must be intentional, and the depravity behind them is also intentional, so in this sentence, you can think of a person's name, and that person is Jia Dao.

The second sentence "showing the white skin on the chest" is obviously a description of women. In ancient China, women's breasts were taboo. How can it be publicly disclosed? Therefore, the poet emphasizes "inner white" here, alluding to the name of the famous poet "Li Bai" in China history. The wording of this poem is uninhibited, but it also conforms to Li Bai's temperament.

The third sentence, "I can't find it when I enter an account", can be extended to "account" and "missing" can be extended to "hiding", so the answer to this poem is Luo Yin. Some friends may not be familiar with the name "Luo Yin", but you must have heard the poem "Drink today, get drunk tomorrow" from Luo Yin's "Self-Dispatch".

And the last sentence "Let him be full of Feng Shui" is the most difficult place to guess in the whole poem. In fact, the poem "rivers and lakes are full of water" has a certain meaning, pointing out a word "pan". "Pan" means "full" in the old saying, so the answer is homophonic. Pan Lang was a famous poet in the early Song Dynasty. He called himself "Xiaoyao Zi" and wrote "Xiaoyao Ci". Today, there is also a "Pan Lang Lane" in Hangzhou.

This is a poem about guessing the poet's name, which is cleverly conceived, but no one can guess it correctly for thousands of years. It was not until the Republic of China that it was cracked by the literary master Zheng, from which we can also see the careful design of the poet. Of course, to some extent, it also shows that Wang Anshi's literary level is very high. However, from the literal point of view of this poem, we may sigh: Wang Anshi, you old king, your poem is frivolous. It seems that you are also a lecherous.
