Year: Song Author: Lu You
Comfortable sleep is better than massage, and the air in Jiangnan is still harmonious in October.
The heavy curtain does not roll for a long time, and the ancient inkstone is slightly concave and gathers more ink.
On the moon, I suddenly saw the shadow of plum blossoms, and the wind was high to send geese.
A cup is too weak for you to laugh, and a cow is carrying our horn song.
Proofreading by Mr. Qian Zhonglian (tenured professor of Suzhou University), this poem was written in Yin Shan in the winter of Shao Xi's fifth year (1 194). At this time, Lu You is 70 years old and belongs to his later works. In all fairness, as far as this poem is concerned, Lu You describes himself with exquisite brushwork, burying himself in his study all day, and the temperature is getting warmer. When he is tired, he walks in court with crutches and walks in a small garden. Look at Meiying sideways and listen to the sound of geese. In the singing of daily life, the author evokes a sense of leisure, which can represent Lu You's high achievements in expressing daily life.
Kou Zhun, a famous figure in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote "A trip to Tasha" and there is a saying in "The painting hall is quiet and rainy, and Pingshan is half hidden." Kou Zhun once knew Badong, so his poetry collection is called Badong Collection. He built the Qiu Feng Pavilion in Badong. When Lu You entered Shu, he wrote "The Legacy of a Pavilion of 100 Mouths" and said, "Why are heroes famous in the world? If he has a high material content, he will stand out when he meets anything. Badong's poems are a national policy, and it's amazing to get them at hand. " It can be seen that Lu You has read the poems with accurate mouth, and he is also surprised at the fame of this generation. He wrote some good poems in his spare time. The meaning of "heavy curtains don't keep the fragrance for a long time" is very close to "Pingshan half covers the fragrance" Maybe Lu You was influenced by Kou Zhun's poems.
The words "heavy curtains don't leave fragrance for a long time, and ancient inkstones are slightly concave and gather more ink" mean that although the curtains are thick, they hang down straight, covering the porch window and the bright sunshine projected from the outside; There is a good inkstone, and it is useless to polish it. The inkstone is exposed only when it is studied, and the ink overflows only when it is brushed. Although the inkstone in the poem is precious, the ink in it has not been disturbed, just like a stagnant water without a ripple. Water cut-off can only lead to decline, sluggishness and death. Therefore, this heavy curtain leaves fragrance, and Gu Yan gathers ink, which seems elegant, but in fact it is melodramatic, but it is difficult to hide tacky. The thoughts and feelings expressed in these two poems are despair and disappointment.
Mr. Qian (historian, Confucian scholar, educator) once made a subtle explanation:
The poem "Releasing Weng" (author's note: it means "the heavy curtain is not rolled for a long time, and the ancient ink stone is slightly concave and gathers more ink"), which is very neat. In fact, it's just a literal pile, and there is no one behind the poem. If it is completely empty, it is not completely true. The man burned a pot of incense in the study and hung the curtain before the incense went out. He writes or writes poems there, and he has a good inkstone. It's no use grinding ink There was originally a person behind this poem, but this person taught anyone to do it, so people didn't see the special artistic conception and special taste. No mood, no interest, just a layman. "
"Heavy curtains don't leave fragrance for a long time, and ancient inkstones are slightly concave and gather more ink" is a landscape writing method. But there has never been a poem purely about scenery. Wang Guowei, a modern scholar, said: "In the past, when discussing poetry, there was a difference between scenery and emotion, but I didn't know that all scenery and emotions were also feelings." When we read the first half of this poem, we can appreciate Lu You's quiet mind. Wang Fuzhi also said: "A clever woman can't cook without rice, and the scenery is like cooking with rice." The scenery is cleverly written and interesting, and you can always feel the feelings.
