On Jia Dao's Ancient Poem "A Gift to Ping Liu on March Black Day"

Dao Jia

Today is March 30th, the last day of March, and the beautiful scenery of spring is left to me, a bitter poet.

* * * Don't sleep tonight, it's still spring before dawn.

Jia Dao (779 ~ 843) was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Han nationality, a native of Fanyang County, Youzhou, Hebei Province (now Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province) in the Tang Dynasty. He became a monk in his early years and had no name. Self-named "Jieshishan people". He is good at five laws and loves bitter songs. He claimed that "a day without writing poetry is like a waste well" (Play for Friends). His poetic language is peculiar, and he often writes desolate and lonely scenes to express his sadness and loneliness.

Dark day: the last day of each month in the summer calendar. Comments: Official name, in charge of prison peaceful sentencing, belonging to Dali Temple.

Justice: positive value.

Scenery: Spring. Don't: stay away. Bitterness: Try your best to write poetry. Jia Dao is a bitter poet, as evidenced by the poem "Two sentences take three years, and one song brings two tears". Bitter body: refers to the poet himself.

* * * Jun: Whatever.

Xiao Zhong: The bell that announces the dawn. In ancient times, clocks were used to tell the time.

Today is March 30th (the last day of March), and Chunguang is going to bid farewell to me as a miserable singer. Like you, you don't have to sleep tonight. It's still spring before you hear the morning bell ring.

There are many people on sentry duty on the thirtieth night of the twelfth lunar month, and those who watch on the moon in other months should not see them. Every solar term has its time, and it will not come before the new month after dark. Why meet in March and stay in spring? Is there something to ask each other? It was dark the day before the bell rang. Please hurry! * * * Jun, I strongly demand that, like Jun, I am looking forward to it. Please do it, please finish some things.
