"Viewing the Sea"
Cao Cao (late Han Dynasty)
To the east is Jieshi to view the sea.
How can the water be dull? The mountains and islands are standing tall.
There are many trees and lush grass.
The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.
The journey of the sun and the moon, if it comes out of it.
The stars are as brilliant as if they came from within.
What a blessing! Sing to express your ambition.
Poet: Cao Cao, whose courtesy name was Mengde, whose given name was Jili, and whose nickname was Amo, was from Qiao County, Peiguo (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). He was an outstanding politician, militarist, writer, and calligrapher in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the founder of the Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty: Cao Cao, in the name of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, conquered the four directions, internally eliminated the separatist forces such as Yuan, Lu Bu, Liu Biao, and Han Sui, externally surrendered the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, etc., and unified northern China , and implemented a series of policies to restore economic production and social order, laying the foundation for the founding of Cao Wei.
Jian'an Literature: Cao Cao was excellent in military tactics and good at poetry. He expressed his political ambitions and reflected the suffering life of the people in the late Han Dynasty. He was majestic, generous and sad; his prose was also clear and tidy, which opened and prospered Jian'an Literature. , leaving precious spiritual wealth to future generations, known as the Jian'an character in history. At the same time, Cao Cao was also good at calligraphy, especially Zhangcao. Zhang Huaiguan of the Tang Dynasty rated it as a "wonderful product" in "Shu Duan".
Background of the poem: In the twelfth year of Jian'an (AD 207), Cao Cao personally led his army to the north to pursue and annihilate the remnants of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. In May, he vowed to fight for the Northern Expedition. In July, he left Lulong Village and approached Jieshi Mountain. . He jumped on his horse and whipped his whip, climbed a mountain to watch the sea, faced the surging sea, and was moved by the scene, and wrote this magnificent poem.
Cao Cao climbed Jieshi Mountain this time on his way back from his victory in the northern expedition to Wuhuan. Wuhuan was a serious problem in the northeast at that time. In the 11th year of Jian'an (AD 206), Wuhuan captured Youzhou and captured more than 100,000 Han households. In the same year, Yuan Shao's sons Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi colluded with Tadun, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and repeatedly harassed the border. As a result, Cao Cao had to decide to go north to conquer Wuhuan in the twelfth year of Jian'an (AD 207). Later, under the guidance of Tian Chou, Xiao used strategies. In a battle around August of this year, Cao Cao finally won a decisive victory. This victory consolidated Cao Cao's rear and laid the foundation for his move south the following year in order to realize his ambition to unify China. Connecting the events before and after, we can see how important the northern expedition to Wuhuan was to Cao Cao. And "Guan Cang Hai" was written when he passed through Jieshi Mountain after returning from the northern expedition to Wuhuan after victory. ?As the deputy commander-in-chief, Cao Cao climbed onto the Jieshi that Emperor Qin and Wu of Han had climbed before. When the autumn wind blew, his mood was as hard to calm down as the sea. He integrated his grand ambitions and broad mind into poetry and expressed them through the image of the sea.
Read the famous sentence: "The journey of the sun and the moon is as if it comes from it. The stars are as brilliant as if they are from it." The poet uses his rich imagination to describe the majestic spirit and grandeur of the sea swallowing up the sun and moon and containing the stars. Broad mind. It best expresses the poet's broad mind and ambition to unify China.
Reading experience:
Tang Dynasty historian Wu Jing's "Explanations of Ancient Yuefu Questions": Facing the Jieshi to the east, you can see the vastness of the sea, and the sun and the moon go in and out of it;
< p> Zhang Yugu's "Appreciation of Ancient Poems": This ambition is to accommodate, but to compare oneself with the sea;Qing Dynasty poet Shen Deqian: Cao Cao's poems "always show domineering spirit".
Describing relevant experiences: "Guan Cang Hai" is particularly suitable for young people to read. Perhaps it is the characteristics of this poem. The editors of junior high school Chinese textbooks, especially the chief editor Professor Wen Rumin, believe: "Being fed by ancient poems The older children have already won at the starting line and the pattern!" Therefore, the first ancient poem selected in the junior high school Chinese textbook is "Viewing the Sea". The grandeur and broad mind shown in the poem are both an inspiration to contemporary young people! Hope is also the inheritance of the spirit of Chinese literati.
Read this poem aloud in the morning, and you will unconsciously increase the tone of your recitation, as if there are thousands of turbulent waves gushing out of your chest, and your heart will be surging and cannot calm down for a long time. After reciting it, it will definitely arouse The passionate ambition within.
In today's popular language, it means that he looks particularly "middle school", which is also a characteristic of teenagers.
My application:
Among the tedious tasks, the most draining thing is a person's mind. The huge amount of information on the mobile phone quickly consumes precious attention, and loses the balance between work and life. Feeling very sad, especially Buddhist. This is a bad state. Some people say it is a disease of the times. This is a lazy way of saying that every era is the best era and the worst era. Every era has its own young people who are mournful and Buddhist, but because of this, there are also the romantic Wei and Jin Dynasties, Tao Yuanming in the countryside, and the cynics in Greece.
The era also requires passionate ambition, grandeur and broad mind, and this requires subtle influence and education.
Reading poetry is the antidote to mourning. The surging spiritual power in poetry can resist the entropy in reality.
A poem every day, this may be the medicine Mr. Lu Xun is looking for!
