The first time we met, we drank the wine of the world for thousands of years. When we first met, Bai Juyi invited Liu Yuxi to dinner. During the dinner, the poet Wang wrote: "I also know that the name of the quilt is folded, and it has been folded too much in 23 years." Liu Yuxi replied: "Qian Fan has passed by the shipwreck, and Wan Muchun is in front of the sick tree." This time it can be described as "judging by the game."
The second time we met, Bai Juyi wrote about a beautiful woman in the palace. He wrote: "The flowers are low and the trees reflect the small makeup building, and spring enters the eyebrows at two o'clock." This time, Liu Yuxi wrote a poem "Poetry of Spring and Lotte", in which the phrase "Go to the atrium to count flowers, and dragonflies fly and scratch their heads" won again with agility.
When we met for the third time, Bai Juyi looked at himself in the mirror and felt that he was old, so he wrote a poem "Farewell the Old and Give Dreams". In the poem, he said that he was "too lazy to look at the fine print in the new mirror", and Liu Yuxi replied that Sang Yu was late because it was still full of sunshine. It is also clear who wins or loses in this game.
Finally, Bai Juyi finally gave up. He often invited Liu Yuxi to drink, and wrote many poems about wine. For example, Bai Juyi, who was over 70 years old, gave Liu Yuxi the famous sentence "Stay in the yellow house, you will be drunk and Taoran" in the poem "Drinking has a dream, after the appointment". In this issue of this poem, the old couple got drunk in the snowy winter. In just a few words, how many old people want to live most is enviable. Let's enjoy this song "Drinking and Dreaming on a Snowy Night".
A glass of wine on a snowy night gave a dream.
Tang Bai Juyi
As a lazy and slow gardener, * * * is interested in rainy and snowy days.
A little wine is sold all night, and a big smile is given to the elderly.
After being a general for a long time, he became an old man and was often called a scattered fairy.
It is appropriate to call it scattered fairy, and I have seen the East China Sea turn into a mulberry field.
In this seven-character narrative poem, Bai Juyi invited Liu Yuxi to drink a pot. In the first sentence of the poem, Bai Letian calls himself and his partner "lazy and slow gardeners", which seems ridiculous, but it is true. This is their present state. The second sentence "* * * on a rainy and snowy day in depression" is a description of the scenery environment. In winter, everything is depressed, rain and snow continue, and the miserable scene in front of us is no different from the two.
But what about this! The sad scene outside the house did not affect the optimistic old man's mood. After three or four sentences, they drank and lost track of time. They laughed loudly and sent away this cold winter together. These four sentences are written in a way that you want to praise first and then suppress. It is clever to set off true feelings with sad scenes.
Five or six sentences from narrative to lyric. In the eyes of poets, it's a fairy-like day now, and it's time for the world to give them the name of "scattered fairy". The last two sentences are the most wonderful sentences in the poem. After years of haste, Bai Juyi's official career rose and fell, and Liu Yuxi was exiled to the southwest for 23 years. If all the past events that were once unbearable, they will become a sigh that "the East China Sea has become a mulberry field".
In the snowy winter, it is probably the best old age to laugh with a bosom friend and recall the bitterness of youth. In this sense, two people who have worked hard for half their lives are winners this time. In 842 AD, the 70-year-old poet Liu Yuxi died of illness. Four years later, Bai Juyi also died. There were never such interesting two old people in the Tang Dynasty. Only poems that give each other peace have been circulated for thousands of years.
