Don Yang Jiong
The flames of bonfires in Kyoto, Chang 'an City, crude gas oil.
Leaving the palace, the general will assume the command; Surrounding the enemy and attacking the city, the elite cavalry are extremely brave.
The heavy snow darkened the color; The wind roared and the drums rang.
I'd rather be a junior officer to fight for my country than a white-faced scholar who only engraved his chapter.
Yang Jiong, one of the four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty, was originally a "scholar". Why do you say "a centurion is not as good as a scholar"? Scholars have admired martial arts since ancient times, not to mention that "a bonfire shines in Xijing" is the time when the country is in danger, and "people's hearts are not right" is the time when people with lofty ideals serve the country! Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Even a scholar must be so excited at the moment that he wants to abandon his pen and join the army and join the battlefield! This sentence "Better be a centurion than a scholar" has always been regarded as a typical example of "reading is useless". In fact, it is about a scholar's great ambition to defend his country!
The Fifth of Thirteen Poems of South Garden
Don Lihe
Why don't men take Wu Gou and accept fifty states in Guanshan?
Please go to see the paintings of the founder heroes with pictures. Another scholar was once called the aristocrat of a million families?
"If you are a scholar Wan Huhou", which one above Lingyange is a scholar, and who worships Hou Xiang? Li He's quatrain is only four sentences, but he asked twice, "Why don't men take Wu Gou?" "Are you a scholar Wan Huhou?" After reading it, I was impassioned and frustrated, and I immediately joined the frontier state. However, this is Li He, a scholar, complaining. It seems that he wants to win "Wan Huhou" from the army, but in fact, he is expressing his anger and injustice as a scholar.
Book burning pit
Don
Bamboo cigarettes are sold for nothing, and the ancestral home locks the river.
Liu Xiang didn't study before the Grey Cold Shandong Rebellion.
The famous saying "Liu Xiang didn't study" is often used to promote the "reading is useless"! In fact, this is also taken out of context and misinterpreted the original poem. This poem is a nostalgic poem, aiming at satirizing Qin Shihuang's burning books and burying Confucianism. Qin Shihuang and Li Si regarded "books" and "Confucianism" as the source of cholera, so they burned books to bury Confucianism, thinking that they could enjoy peace, but they didn't know that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, who eventually perished in the Qin Dynasty, were just ordinary people who didn't study. It is a bitter irony that people who don't study perished the Qin Dynasty, which burned books and buried Confucianism. But this sentence "Liu Xiang didn't study originally" was taken out of context by later generations, misinterpreted as a poem that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu could achieve great things without reading, and turned into "reading is useless", which is really ridiculous!
random thought
Huang Qing Ren Jing
The immortal Buddha didn't make it, only knowing that the night was uneven.
The wind shed is full of sad songs, and the mud flocculant leads to poverty and happiness.
Nine out of ten people are contemptible, but none of them is a scholar.
Don't worry about poetry. Spring birds and autumn insects make their own voices.
The poem Nothing is a Scholar can be said to be a household name, and it is also the most typical poem used to ridicule scholars. As we all know, the most important thing in this poem is the self-mockery of the literati and the complaining language of the talented person. The poet Huang Jingren was down and out all his life. He has great ambitions, but it is difficult to make good use of them. When he wrote a poem, he felt that "Nothing is the Three Treasures Hall" was a dialogue with Li He's "If He Is a Scholar Wan Huhou".
"Better be a centurion than a scholar", "If you are a scholar, Wan Huhou", "Liu Xiang has never studied" and "All are scholars" are poems that are now regarded as "useless to study", but they are all written by scholars. Literati reading is learning, serving the country, and it is good for you. However, the road to progress in reading is bumpy after all, and there are many things in the world. Even Su Like Dongpo, a great writer, has been wandering from place to place all his life, so there are complaints like "Confucianism makes many mistakes". The original intention is not to preach the theory of the futility of reading. Unfortunately, these poems have been misinterpreted out of context because they are easy to understand and catchy.
