Reading under the light, my eyes are not bigger than before, but I still decided to read 20 thousand small words.

Lu you:
Lu You was born in an official family, living in poverty and studying hard. Lu You's great-grandfather was Song Renzong's great-grandfather Lu Ti, his grandfather and his father Lu Zai. He was born in the bonfire of the Song and Jin Wars, and he suffered from being displaced from place to place since he was a child. At the same time, he was influenced by the patriotic thoughts of his father, Lu Zai, and other literati, and formed the thought of worrying about the country and the people.
When I was a teenager, I was familiar with the poems of Tao Qian, Wang Wei, Cen Can and Li Bai, and I had a studious spirit of "learning English when I was born, and looking forward to thousands of books when I died". 12 years old, able to write poetry, known as "Little Li Bai".
17 years old has a poem. At the age of 25, he studied several patriotic poems, which laid the foundation for his patriotic poems. At the age of 29, he rushed to Lin 'an to catch the exam. Because he was more famous than Qin Gui's grandson Lin Qin, he angered Qin Gui and was dismissed. It was three years after Qin Gui's death that he was put into use.
He always insisted on resisting gold, and in 1 158 (twenty-eight years of Shaoxing), he entered Fujian as the monarch book of Ningde County. According to the Records of Ningde County, Volume III, Official History: "Lu You, the word service concept, that is, in the twenty-eight years of Shaoxing, Weng Fang was also a thin city, good government and loved by the people." There is a statue of Lu You on Nanguang Mountain in Ningde. Jianhu Village in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province also has a statue of Lu You.
He used to be a judge of Longxing in Zhenjiang. 1 170 (six years on the main road) entered Shu and served as the judge of Kuizhou. 1 172 (eight years of the main road), settled in the shogunate of Wang Yan, the ambassador of Sichuan, and then went to Baozhang Pavilion. Politically, Lu You advocated a resolute war of resistance, enriched armaments, and demanded that "taxes should be paid first, and taxes should be handed over to business", which has always been suppressed by capitulationists. In his later years, he retired from his hometown, but his belief in recovering the Central Plains remained unchanged.
Lu you's poems:
Lu You has many literary talents, especially his achievements in poetry. He claimed to have written more than 9,300 poems in 60 years, which can be roughly divided into three periods: before he entered Shu at the age of 46, he tended to be in the form of words; From entering Shu to retiring at the age of 64, it is the mature period of his poetry creation, and it is also a period of great changes in his poetry style.
From his early commitment to "algae painting" to the pursuit of unrestrained style, he is full of fighting atmosphere and patriotic enthusiasm; After living in his hometown of Yin Shan in his later years, his poetic style tends to be simple and plain, showing an idyllic flavor, and from time to time revealing desolate life feelings.
Lu You's poems cover a wide range, involving almost every field of social life in the early Southern Song Dynasty, which can be roughly divided into four aspects according to the content:
(1) Persist in resisting gold and crusade against capitulationists. Lu You bluntly said that "it is not a long-term policy for relatives to hide from each other since ancient times", "Being born with relatives to hide from each other is the most harmful, and the golden rooster group was defeated by Hu Qiang in his later years", and revealed that "the governors still have the policy of hiding from each other, and people with lofty ideals donate their youth for nothing"
His Yuefu poem "Guan Shanyue" highly summarizes the contradiction between the upper rulers and the soldiers on the frontier and the people in the occupied areas in the main battle and theme, and exposes the serious consequences caused by the compromise peace policy of the ruling clique in the Southern Song Dynasty. Lu You's poems, with their distinctive combativeness and pertinence, inspired people's fighting spirit against gold and won the praise of people with lofty ideals.
(2) Express impassioned enthusiasm for serving the country and the grief and indignation of unpaid ambition. When Lu You was young, he took it as his duty to serve the country generously, and his first purpose in life was to destroy the invading enemy and recover the occupied land, but his ideal of resisting the enemy was frustrated repeatedly. Therefore, a large number of his poems not only show high fighting spirit, but also pour deep grief and indignation.
For example, in the poem "Book Wrath", the poet is bent on serving the country, and his ambition is hard to be rewarded. His high-spirited, majestic, full of desolation and sadness is not only the epitome of the poet's personal experience, but also the epitome of the national destiny, and is a typical representative of this kind of works.
③ Describe rural scenery and daily life. Lu You loves life and is good at discovering poetry from various life scenes. Whether it's mountains, rivers, plants, insects and fish, whether it's ordinary life in the countryside or leisure in the study, "every grass, tree, fish and bird are cut into poems."
The poem "Shanxi Village Tour" is vivid in scenery description and contains philosophy. Among them, "there is no way to recover in the mountains, and there is a village in the dark" has become a well-known sentence. His Spring Rain in Lin 'an describes the spring in the south of the Yangtze River. Writing is a virtual scene, exquisite and beautiful, meaningful.
④ Love poems. Due to the restriction of Neo-Confucianism on the thoughts and feelings of Song scholars and the development of Song ci, the lyric function of Song poetry gradually weakened, and the love poems in Song Dynasty could not be compared with Tang poetry in quantity and quality, but Lu You was an exception.
When Lu You was young, he had an unforgettable emotional experience with his ex-wife. His poems in memory of his ex-wife are sincere and touching. The two poems written by Shen Yuan in his later years are called "Unequal Sadness Poems" by later generations, which are rare masterpieces in ancient love poems.
