Original "drama title"
Lv sicheng
Why should the old lady be more hesitant when cooking in spring clothes?
You can cook with vinegar in the bottle, but you can't buy fish with the money in the bag.
I dare not do anything, just because I have read the running script.
Frost and scorching sun have passed, and the next spring breeze comes to the hut.
Background Lv Sicheng was a great official in Yuan Dynasty, and his family was poor before his debut. Tao's Record of Dropping Out of Farming in Nancun recorded an interesting life story before his Jinshi exam:
Mr. Wang is far-sighted in writing political essays. And lead an honest and clean life, the family is very poor. To the right, the official to the Chinese book Zuo Cheng. When Mr. Wang didn't show up, one day, he didn't continue cooking in the morning. If he wants to exchange clothes and rice with others, Mr. Shi is very stingy Because of this play, he wrote a poem saying, "Why does an old wife wait for breakfast when it is a spring shirt?" You can cook with vinegar in the bottle, but you can't buy fish with the money in the bag. I dare not do anything just because I can read running script. First frost and the scorching sun passed, and the next spring breeze came to the hut covered with grass. "It is not difficult to see how poor the poem was at that time. There was no rice for breakfast, so I had to exchange my robe for rice, but my wife was reluctant. He patiently advised that a scholar should not cross the line, that's all. He told his wife that the days of poverty will always pass, which shows the quiet and calm feelings when facing poverty.
The first four sentences of this appreciation poem are about an incident that happened at home. His wife found that cooking breakfast was a problem and was at a loss. Lv Sicheng suggested a way to take the clothes she wore in the spring to the pawnshop as some money. Temporary lack of money and pawning clothes have almost become an emergency plan for poets. Lv Sicheng, let it be. "You can cook with vinegar in the bottle, but you can't buy fish with the money in the bag." Everything is simple because it is rough, so just muddle along. There are some tips in Dare to Do Nothing. In other words, if he dares to do something, maybe this "cooking early" is definitely not a problem, because he "dares", which becomes a problem. Then why didn't he dare? Is there a law? Or is someone watching? Actually, it is not. Lu Sicheng's explanation is: "Just because I have read the running script." Of course, the meaning of "several running accounts" is less. In today's words, I have read some books. But its role is not small. The truth and examples in the book are telling people how to be a man. As long as you have read some books, you should know what to do and what not to do. The last two sentences, "After the harsh frost and the scorching sun, the next spring breeze will come to the thatched cottage", are to persuade my wife to be patient again, and the good days are coming soon. The combined transport uses a symbolic (pun) technique. "Severe frost and scorching sun", extremely cold and extremely hot, is a metaphor for serious difficulties in life. This "spring breeze" is naturally the future political career. "Severe frost", "scorching sun" and "spring breeze" not only refer to the natural environment, but also symbolize the author's personal experience and social times. These two poems vividly show the author's indifference to hard life, contempt for harsh society and positive and optimistic attitude towards life. Sure enough, not long after, he was admitted to Jinshi, "Spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease", and he embarked on his official career.
