Verses and quotes about waking up from a dream
Old poems by ancient poets that express themselves as if they are waking up from a dream include "Qinghuai" by Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty and "Chang'e" by Li Shangyin
"Revelation". The poem "Qinghuai" was written by Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The poem says: "I am in a down and out wine shop in the south of the Yangtze River, and my waist is slender and my palms are light." This poem is the author's recall of the years in Yangzhou, and it is also the poet's lament about the regrets in life that he has not met his talents.
The first two sentences of the poem are memories of life in Yangzhou in the past, that is, being down and out, drinking wine as a companion; Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion, beautiful girls, living a romantic life. The last two sentences, "I sleep in the Yangzhou dream for ten years" are the sighs from the poet's heart, and this sigh is completely attributed to the word "dream" in "Yangzhou dream".
"Chang'e". "Chang'e" was written by Li Shangyin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The poem says: "The candle shadow on the mica screen is deep, the long river is gradually setting and the dawn stars are sinking. Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are in my heart every night." This poem can be said to be an awakening poem.
The work takes Chang'e as an example, saying that after she secretly took the elixir of immortality and became an immortal, she would always taste the loneliness in the moon palace.
While satirizing the falsehood, the poet raised an important and awakening philosophical question of life: What is the meaning of life?
