This poem titled Lin 'an Mansion was written by Lin Sheng, a scholar in Chunxi of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was written on the wall of a hotel in Lin 'an, the imperial capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is an ancient "poem on the wall", and it has no title. This title was added by later generations.
It is a basic national policy that Zhao and Song Dynasties have carried out since the founding of the People's Republic of China to exchange humiliation and concession to Liao, Xixia and Jin for Gou 'an. As a result, the Central Plains was occupied and the emperors of the two dynasties were taken prisoner. However, this lesson did not make the supreme ruling group in the Southern Song Dynasty slightly sober; They don't want to recover, and continue to seek "Wang Ye's partial security". After Song Gaozong crossed to the south, he found himself in the southeast corner. In the second year of Shaoxing (1132), Song Gaozong returned to Hangzhou for the second time. He took a fancy to this "paradise on earth" in the southeast, and he was determined to achieve the final goal. So he went from emperors and princes to scholars and businessmen, and overhauled the buildings and halls in exchange for humiliation. The Ming Hall was built, the ancestral temple was built, and the concept of the palace building was on the rise. dajia, a prominent official and a wealthy businessman, also managed the mansion one after another, expanding this "imperial residence". He indulged in singing and dancing and indulged in the decadent life of luxury and erosion, which led to the name of "selling gold pots" in the West Lake. For decades, Hangzhou, which was temporarily safe, was regarded as Bianzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty (now Kaifeng, Henan Province), which became a comfortable nest for these parasites. Some patriots were outraged by this, and accused the rulers of letting life slip past them, regardless of the national economy and people's livelihood.
Appreciation of Lin 'an Mansion
This is a poem written on the wall of a hotel in Lin 'an City. It not only expresses grief by describing the music scene, but also doubles the emotion, and it contains deep implications in the profound aesthetic realm. At the same time, the poet revealed the reactionary nature of "Travellers" in ironic language, which also showed the poet's anger.
In the first sentence of the poem, "Outside the mountain, there are green hills and towers", the poet grasps the characteristics of Lin 'an City-overlapping green hills and rows of towers. This first describes the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, rolling hills and pavilions one after another. What a beautiful nature it is. As far as poetry creation is concerned, the poet's description of the beauty of mountains and rivers shows a kind of pleasure. Then he wrote, "When will the singing and dancing in the West Lake stop? The poet was hurt by the reality of the country. Such a beautiful mountain and river is occupied by Jin people. The word "Hugh" in the poem not only implies the poet's heartache about the real social situation, but more importantly, it shows the poet's indignation at those in power who blindly "Hugh" to make peace, do not want to recover the lost land in the Central Plains, just seek peace, indulge in debauchery and have fun. In the poet's mind, "West Lake Song and Dance" is the * * * song and dance that kills the fighting spirit against gold. How much he hopes that this kind of singing and dancing will soon "rest". Here, the poet used rhetorical questions, which not only strengthened his anger at these politicians who did not want to recover lost ground, but also showed the poet's sadness caused by his concern about the fate of the country.
The last two sentences "The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and makes Hangzhou Bianzhou". Here, "tourists" can't just be understood as ordinary tourists, but mainly refer to the ruling class of the Southern Song Dynasty who forgot the national disaster, lived quietly and had fun. This sentence comes from "When will the West Lake dance stop?". Faced with this incessant singing and dancing, the poet couldn't help showing his feelings when he watched these "tourists" revel in it. Among them, the word "warm wind" is a pun. In poetry, it refers to both the spring breeze in nature and the wind in society. In the poet's view, it is this "warm wind" that blows the mind of the "tourists" so intoxicated that they forget that their country is in danger. Among them, the words "smoked" and "drunk" are used subtly. First of all, the word "smoked" implies that the singing and dancing scenes are huge and lively, creating a decadent atmosphere for "tourists". Then the word "drunk" was followed by the word "smoked", which vividly portrayed the mental state of those "tourists" who indulged in debauchery. The word "drunk" left a rich aesthetic imagination space-the ugliness of "tourists" in this beautiful "West Lake" environment. In this state, in order to further show that tourists are drunk, the poet wrote at the end: "Make Hangzhou Bianzhou. The capital of the Song Dynasty was originally built in the capital city of Bianliang, but it was occupied by gold. That is to say, among the fans, these "tourists" simply regard Hangzhou as the old capital Bianzhou. Here, it is meaningful for the poet to use "Hangzhou" instead of "West Lake". Because although "West Lake" is in Hangzhou, when it comes to "West Lake", it is the best place to visit mountains and waters, and it is only a scenic spot in Hangzhou. The poet's use of "Hangzhou" is a good contrast with the song capital "Bianzhou" ("Bianzhou" has been occupied by Jin people). In contrast, it not only leads to the special name of Bianzhou, which is full of political significance, but also helps to express the poet's feelings-exposing the despicable behavior of "tourists" who ignore the future and destiny of the country, indulge in drunkenness, and ignore the national economy and people's livelihood. At the same time, it also expresses the poet's deep concern about the fate of the country and the nation, and his anger at the rulers who only seek peace and surrender to the outside world.
