1. Appreciation of the original text:
In the autumn of Renxu, in the seventh month, Su Zi and his guests went boating under Red Cliff . The breeze comes slowly and the water waves are calm. Lifting wine to the guests, reciting poems about the bright moon, and singing graceful chapters. After a while, the moon rose above the east mountain, wandering among the bullfights. White dew flows across the river, and the water reaches the sky. Even though a reed is like this, thousands of hectares are at a loss. The vastness is as if Feng Xu is riding the wind without knowing where it stops; the flutteringness is as if he has left the world and is independent, becoming immortal and ascending to immortality.
So they drank and had a lot of fun, and sang along to the boat. The song goes: "The orchid oars are hanging on the osmanthus, and the light is shining in the sky. I feel the mist in my heart, and I look forward to the beauty in the sky." There is a guest who plays the cave flute, and he sings along with it. His voice was whining, like resentment, admiration, weeping, and complaining; the lingering sound was lingering, like a wisp. The lurking dragon dances in the secluded ravine, and the concubine weeps in the lonely boat.
Su Zi was stunned, sat upright, and asked the guest: "Why is it so?" The guest said: "'The moon and stars are sparse, and the black magpie flies south.' Isn't this a poem by Cao Mengde? Looking at Xiakou and Wuchang in the east, the mountains and rivers are close to each other and the sky is green. Isn't this what Meng De was trapped in Zhou Lang? Drinking wine by the river, writing poems across the river, I have been a hero for a lifetime. How can I be safe now? Kuangwu and his son are fishing and woodcutting on the river, hanging out with fish and shrimps, and making friends with elk. They ride on a small boat and hold bottles to each other. I send the mayflies in the sky, a drop in the vast sea. I feel sorry for my life, and I am envious of the infinite Yangtze River. /p>
Su Zi said: "Do guests also know that the water and the moon are like this? Those who have passed away are like this, but they have not yet passed away; those who are full and empty are like that, but their soldiers are not waxing and waning. Look at the changes in Gaijiang and others. , then the heaven and earth cannot last for a moment; from the perspective of being unchanging, both things and me are endless, and how can I envy it! Between heaven and earth, everything has its own owner, even if it is not my possession, even a tiny bit. Don’t take it. Only the cool breeze on the river and the bright moon in the mountains can be heard by the ears and formed by the sight of the eyes. They can be taken without restraint and used inexhaustibly. This is the infinite treasure of the Creator, and I and my son have it. "The most suitable thing." (The most suitable work: ***food)
The guests are happy and smile, and they drink more after washing their cups. The core of the food is gone, and the cups and plates are in a mess. The couple and their pillows were spread out in the boat, unaware of the whiteness of the east.
