The four sentences of Jane in "Ode to an Epic" describe that the children of aristocratic families occupied the position of senior officials at that time, while the scholars from humble origins sank into humble official positions. This phenomenon is like "pine trees at the bottom of ravines" and "seedlings on mountains". It's the terrain that makes them so. It has a long history, and it will not happen overnight. At this point, poetry becomes clearer from hidden to obvious.
Here, with vivid language, the unreasonable phenomenon caused by gate valve system is strongly exposed. Historically, the gate valve system had developed at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Cao Wei promoted the "Nine-grade Zheng Zhi System" to consolidate the gate valve rule. During the Western Jin Dynasty, due to the continued implementation of the "Nine-grade Zheng Zhi System", the rule of gate valves was further strengthened, and its disadvantages became increasingly obvious.
In the epic poem, Yu Yu's four sentences of "borrowing the past" are closely related to the content of "the origin never leaves once", which is more specific from the general to the individual. Gold, refers to the Jin Ridi family. According to the biography of Han Jin Ridi, there were eunuchs in the seven generations of Emperor Wu, Emperor Zhao, Emperor Cheng, Emperor Ai and Emperor Ping. Zhang, refers to the Zhang Tang family.
According to Zhang Han's Biography of the Tang Dynasty, since Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, more than ten members of the Zhang family have been riding horses in the middle and regular places and listed as a captain. "In the world of heroes, only Jin and Zhang are close relatives, and they are more precious than their consorts." This is one aspect. On the other hand, Feng Gong, namely Feng Tang. He was born during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, and he was very talented, but he was old and only became a small official like Director Zhong Lang.
Here, by means of comparison, the specific content of "the world is high, handsome and heavy in the present position" is expressed. And it is closely related to the poem "Yong Shi".
Extended data:
Ode to the Epic Yu Yu Sword Song Di is a five-character poem written by Zuo Si, a poet in the Western Jin Dynasty. This poem was written under the gate valve system. Talented people are suppressed because of their humble origins, and the children of aristocratic families occupy an important position regardless of whether they have talents or not, resulting in the unfair phenomenon of "no poverty in the top grade, no powerful family in the bottom grade" (Liu Yichuan, Book of Jin).
The four sentences of "Pine Tree at the Bottom of a Depressed Valley" show the injustice of the world at that time in a comparative way. "Pine at the bottom of the stream" is a metaphor for a scholar born in poverty, and "Miao on the mountain" is a metaphor for a noble family. Only an inch thick saplings on the mountain actually cover a hundred feet long trees at the bottom of the canyon. On the surface, this is a natural scene. In fact, the poet uses this as a metaphor for human injustice, which contains specific social content.
Vivid image, implicit performance. China's classical poems often use Song to describe people. Before this poem, such as Serina Liu's "To My Brother"; After this poem, such as To Wang Guiyang by Wu Jun, it is a loose metaphor for people's noble character, with rich connotations.
The author introduces:
Zuo Si, the word is too blunt, Qi Linzi people. His ancestors in the Qi royal family had left and right sons, so he took "left" as the surname of this branch of the family. Zuo Sijia studied Confucianism from generation to generation. Zuo Yong's father, who was born in a small official, was promoted to an imperial minister in the temple by virtue of his own talents. When Zuo Si was a child, he studied the clock, Hu Shu and the drum piano, but he failed.
Father Zuo Yong said to his friend, "Si Er doesn't know as well as I did when I was a child." Zuo Si is stimulated, studies hard and is good at Taoist Yin and Yang. Zuo Si is ugly and inarticulate, but the article is magnificent. He doesn't like to associate with people either, so he stays at home when he has time. Zuo Si wrote Qi Du Fu, which was written for a year.
I wanted to write Sandu Fu again, just as my sister Juicy Zuo was called into the palace and Zuo Si's family moved to Beijing, so I went to visit the writer Zhang Zai and asked him to give directions to Sichuan. So I conceived for ten years, and put pens and paper in front of my house, in the yard and in the toilet. Come up with a sentence once in a while and record it immediately. Zuo Si thought he was not knowledgeable, so he asked for the post of doctor.
When Sandu Fu was written, people at that time didn't notice it. Zuo Si thinks that his article is not inferior to Ban Gu Zhang Heng. Zuo Si is worried that his article will be buried because of his low status. Huangfu Mi, a steady man, enjoys a high reputation in Luoyang. Zuo Si went to visit and presented Sandu Fu to Huangfu. Huangfu Mi praised the well-written Fu and wrote a preface for his own Fu.
Zhang Zai commented on Fu, while Liu Kui commented on Wu Du Fu and Shu Du Fu, and prefaced them, saying, "Since the Warring States Period, too many people have written Fu. Sima Xiangru's Zi Xufu is a masterpiece of the previous generation, Ban Gu's Er Du Fu is more reasonable than literary works, and Zhang Heng's Er Jing Fu is more literary.
As for this composition, compared with other schools, it is still quite emotional to express ideas in words or explain the meaning with facts. People who don't study carefully can't know the profound meaning and far-reaching purpose contained in this short article, and people who don't know all of them can't control the different things involved in this short article. The world worships ancient works and despises the creation of contemporary people. No one wants to take the time to understand the essence of the work. "
Liu Chen-Ren Weiquan gave a brief explanation for Zuo Si's Fu ... Since then, Sandu Fu has been highly respected by people at that time, and there are countless articles. Seeing this fu, Zhang Hua lamented: "Zuo Si is a figure like Ban Gu and Zhang Heng. (This fu) can make readers feel that the text has been exhausted, and the intention is more than enough. The longer it lasts, the more innovative it is. " So rich and powerful aristocratic families rushed to circulate and copy.
The supply of paper in Luoyang, the capital, is in short supply, and the price has risen sharply. At first, Lu Ji went to Luoyang and wanted to write Sandu Fu. I heard that Zuo Si was also writing Sandu Fu, clapping his hands and laughing. In a letter to his younger brother Lu Yun, he said, "There is a vulgar person here who wants to write Sandu Fu. After he finished writing, I used it to build a wine jar. " Waiting for Zuo Si to write, Lu Ji sighed from the bottom of his heart.
I thought I couldn't go beyond Zuo Si, so I stopped writing. Jia Mi, the secretary of the governor, asked him to talk about Hanshu. After Jia Mi (in "The Rebellion of Eight Kings") was killed, Zuo Si lived in seclusion in Yichun and devoted himself to studying Confucian classics. When Zhang Fang was wantonly bullying, Zuo Si moved his family to Jizhou. A few years later, he died of illness.
