Full text of Yu Shinan's poems

Yu Shinan's "Cicada" drinks clear dew, and the sound is sparse. Cicada is far away from cicada because cicada is on a tall tree, not relying on autumn wind. 1. First of all, we should understand the writing background and the poet's life. Yu Shinan is from Yuyao, Yuezhou. Because he adopted and gave it to his uncle, Yu, the assistant minister of Chen Zhongshu in the Southern Dynasties. He is quiet and abstinent by nature. He studied with his younger brother, Shijie, from King Guye of Wu County for more than ten years. He buried himself in his studies all day and never slacked off, even for more than ten days without washing his face or combing his hair. His articles are euphemistic and colorful. He worships Xu Ling's articles, and Xu Ling also said that Yu Shinan's writing style is quite similar to his own, so Yu Shinan is famous for his articles. During Jia's reign, his father died. Yu Shinan was heartbroken and damaged her health, and she could hardly hold on. Chen Wendi respected Wei Li's noble character very much. Knowing that his two sons were very knowledgeable, he sent someone to his home to take care of him, and called Facao, who appointed Yu Shinan as the king of Jian 'an, to join the army. At that time, Yu Ji was hijacked by Chen Baoying. Although Yu Shinan's mourning for his father has expired, it is still crude; After I sent it back, I put on coarse clothes and began to eat meat. In the early years of Zhide, he was promoted to the right of Xiyang Wang. When the Chen Dynasty perished, he and his younger brother Shijie served in the Sui Dynasty. The articles in Historical Records are more vigorous than Heather, but not as knowledgeable as Heather. Both of them enjoyed a high reputation at that time, and people compared his brother to Lu Ji and Lu Yun in the Jin Dynasty. Yang Di Yang Guang was appointed by Yang Jun, king of Qin, when he was king of Jin. During the great cause years, Yang Di, an ancient scholar, liked his talents very much, but he was worried about his integrity, so he didn't use him very much. After ten years as an official, seven products can't be promoted to an official. Yu Shiqi is quick-thinking and good at rhetoric. Emperor Yang Di liked him very much, so he became more and more outstanding every day. His wives and concubines are all dressed like princes and nobles, while Yu Shinan's family is poor, but she never changes her moral integrity. Yu Wenhuaji killed Yang Di, and will be killed in the historical records. So Nan hugged Emperor Yang Di and told him to die for himself. Yu Wenhuaji refused, and Emperor Yang Di was killed. Yu Shinan was so sad that there was only one bone left. He came to Liaocheng with Yu Wenhuaji, was captured by Dou Jiande, and appointed him assistant minister of Huangmen. Ji Shimin, the king of Qin, destroyed Dou Jiande, made him join the army for Wang Mi, made him a bookkeeper, and was promoted to the position of Scheeren among the princes. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was emperor, and he was named assistant minister riding outside and bachelor of Hong Wen Pavilion. At that time, Yu Shinan was old and frail, and repeatedly asked to abdicate, but the emperor refused. He was promoted to the right bastard of the Prince. Yu Shinan insisted on not taking office, changed to secretary supervisor, and was named Yongxing County. Yu Shinan looks elegant and docile. From the appearance, it seems that he can't even hold his clothes, but he is strong-willed and insists on correct opinions when discussing political affairs. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin once said: "I discussed ancient and modern history with Yu Shinan, and he made an inappropriate remark, so he regretted it infinitely. His attitude is so sincere! " In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Yu Shinan was the duke of Yongxing County. At that time, there was a landslide earthquake in Longyou area, and large snakes appeared constantly, causing flooding in Shandong and Jianghuai areas. Emperor Taizong was worried about this and asked Yu Shinan what to do. So Nan replied, "During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a landslide in Liangshan. Duke Xiang of Jin called Bozong and asked him what to do. Bo Zong said:' Mountains and rivers are the symbols of the country, so in case of landslides, dry rivers and other disasters, the monarch should give up all ostentation and extravagance, put on plain clothes, get on the car with plain curtains, unload the drum music, leave the palace, live in another room and sacrifice mountains and rivers with gifts'. Liangshan, the symbol of the state of Jin, did as Bozong said, so there was no disaster. In the first year of Emperor Wendi, twenty-nine peaks in Qi and Chu collapsed on the same day, and floods were read out from the ground. Emperor Wen ordered all counties and countries not to contribute to the world, so the four sides were stable and did not cause disasters. After Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, a green snake appeared beside the emperor's throne. At this time, a 300-step snake appeared in the state of Qi, crossing the market and entering the ancestral temple. It's strange that the snake should have been in the weeds, but it entered the market. Now the snake appears in the mountain swamp, where it lives. ........... 2. Understand and appreciate the content of this poem. This is an object-chanting poem by Yu Shinan, a famous minister in the early Tang Dynasty, which is full of symbolic significance. Every sentence describes the shape, habit and sound of cicada, and every sentence implies the poet's noble character and interest. The deep meaning of chanting things is to praise people. The key is to grasp some specific characteristics of cicadas and find out the artistic correspondence. Sagging is the knotted and drooping band of ancient official hats, and it also refers to the narrow mouth of cicada chin similar to hat band. Cicada sucks dew with its narrow mouth. Because of semantic pun, it implies that Guan Ying's senior officials should abstain from corruption and pursue incorruptibility. Cicada lives on a tall and straight plane tree, which is naturally different from those insects rolling in rotten grass and mud, so its voice can flow beautifully and loudly. At the end of the poem, it is entirely because cicadas have the ability to "speak loudly from afar", rather than relying on external forces such as autumn wind. The moral of these poems is that an official and a man must stand tall and have noble virtues in order to speak loudly and enjoy a wide reputation. This great ambition comes entirely from the power of personality beauty, which can never be achieved by have it both ways or any strength, joints and support. In fact, "Chant" contains Yu Shinan's self-teaching. As one of the twenty-four ministers who hung in Lingyange during the Zhenguan period of Tang Dynasty, his reputation lies in his erudition and noble Geng Jie. He talked with Emperor Taizong about the gains and losses of the king, and he was able to speak out and make a unique contribution to the rule of Zhenguan. To this end, Emperor Taizong said that he had "five unique skills" (morality, loyalty, erudition, style of writing, and writing style), and praised: "Ministers are all like Shinan, so why should the world care! "From the fact that he is not an eagle tiger with Kun Peng, but an unknown cicada, we can see that he is mature, cautious and conscious. I drank the clear dew, and the sweet cry came from the forest of Wu Tong. The sound travels far because I stand tall, not with the help of the autumn wind. About the author: Yu Shinan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty and one of the twenty-four outstanding figures in Lingyange, was born in Yuyao. Father Li Yu, brother Yu Shiqi and uncle Yu Ji all have the same fame. Yu Ji had no children and Shinan adopted him, so the word "Bo Shi" was used. Yang Di was an official in the Tang Dynasty. He was the secretary supervisor and bachelor of Hong Wen Pavilion.
