Of course, summer vacation can also be a kind of literary feeling, a kind of literary activity. Poets in Tang and Song Dynasties rely on words and rhythms to make cool crossing just a visit and come to us. Now, let's go to the Tang poetry and Song poetry to cool down.
Anxious
The king wants to go to Kunlun Mountain to take a bath in the ice and snow to cool off.
It's so hot in midsummer that people are impatient and can't think of an efficient way to cool down, so they want to go to the snow-capped mountains to enjoy the cool. Song Wang was terribly hot. One summer, he couldn't stand it and shouted. What should I do? It's too hot! Surrounded by the heat wave, he is not only worried that the water in rivers and lakes will be evaporated, but also worried that there is no water in the Milky Way in the sky. "People are afraid that the rivers and seas will dry up, and the sky will not hesitate."
The king was in a hurry. He remembered the distance. What is in the distance? There are Kunlun Mountain and Snow Mountain. Teacher Wang Ling wants to go there to enjoy the cool. The snow-covered glaciers in the mountains will definitely make people cool instantly. "There is snow on the top of Kunlun Mountain." Teacher Wang Ling is still a sentimental person, who doesn't want to be cold alone, but wants to bring all the living beings in the fiery heat to the cool mountain. But is it possible? No, so he had to give up with a sigh.
Although it is said to be hot, the poem "There is snow at the height of Kunlun and cold at the distance of Penglai" still creates a cool and refreshing atmosphere, which makes people calm.
In fact, from the analysis of historical meteorological data, Wang Ling's anxiety seems a bit melodramatic. According to relevant data, the temperature in Song Dynasty was obviously lower than that in Tang Dynasty. Citrus can also be planted in Chang 'an area during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the requirements of citrus on climate are relatively hot. It is reported that the citrus planted by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in Penglai Pavilion tastes similar to those produced in the south. Yan Zi's statement that "those born in Huainan are oranges and those born in Huaibei are oranges" may not be true in the Tang Dynasty. It is estimated that the climate in the Tang Dynasty was hotter than that in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. But once in the Song Dynasty, it was no longer possible to grow oranges in Guanzhong, Chang 'an, because the weather became cold.
Except for plum blossom, it is said that "the fragrance of plum blossom comes from bitter cold". In fact, plum blossom also has its delicate side, which is too cold. When bitter cold turns into cold, it can't bloom. In the Tang Dynasty, it was not uncommon to grow plum blossoms in Chang 'an. As soon as he arrived in the Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo began to shout why Chang 'an couldn't even find a plum blossom, which was disappointing. "There are no plum blossoms in Guanzhong."
There is another thing I want to tell Mr. Wang Ling, that is, Taihu Lake and Hangzhou under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty often freeze on the rivers in winter, and the frozen ice is hard enough to pass a carriage. When the envoy of the State of Jin came to Hangzhou, the river had been frozen by ice and snow, and it was necessary to chisel the ice to clear the way. The messenger wrote a poem: "The hammer blows at night, and the skin of the hand is half cracked."
According to the data, the climate in Song Dynasty was quite cool. Miss Wang Ling, what are you complaining about? It is better to learn from teacher Yang Wanli, who is calm and correct in the face of the heat. One hot summer day, the poet Yang was extremely hot. "The heat at night is still the same as at noon." What if the heat at night is no different from that at noon? "Open the door and stand in the moonlight", go outside and let the moonlight wash away the heat. Of course, moonlight is only a visual cooling. What about touch? The vegetation around Teacher Yang Wanli's home is dense. "The place where insects sound in the bamboo forest is slightly cool, but it is not the wind." In the depths of the Woods and bamboo forests where insects are singing, suddenly there is an indescribable coolness around him, but it is not brought by the wind, but by the sense of touch. Maybe it's the cooling caused by lush vegetation. It seems that it is better to be greener when enjoying the cool. It is unrealistic to go to Kunlun Mountain in summer vacation. It is better to plant all kinds of flowers and plants around your home to create a summer environment.
Teacher Yang Wanli is a careful observer of life, and life has not failed him and sent him coolness. Of course, it is worth learning that Mr. Wang Ling never forgets the feelings of ordinary people in the heat.
Calm; calm
Meng Haoran made a new hairstyle and lay on the bamboo bed sighing.
It was very hot in the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong wanted to leave Chang 'an for the summer. As a result, a minister said, "Your Majesty, you can't leave Dad (Tang Gaozu) in Chang 'an to suffer and cool off. "Hearing this, Emperor Taizong was embarrassed and finally had to endure the heat and stay down. There is also a story about summer vacation. Tang Gaozong took pregnant Wu Zetian to spend the summer vacation in Wannian Palace in the suburbs, and mountain torrents broke out in the middle of the night. If it weren't for the warning issued by Xue, the eldest brother on duty, it is estimated that the history of the Tang Dynasty would have been rewritten.
In short, it was really hot in the Tang Dynasty. However, the poets in the Tang Dynasty were quite calm. For example, Meng Haoran is good at creating a cool atmosphere by himself. It is said that one summer evening, in Xiangyang, teacher Meng Haoran's hometown, to be exact, it should be near Xianshan. At that time, Teacher Meng was waiting for a friend named Xin. Anyone who has read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms should know that a generation of hero Sun Jian died here. Of course, we don't talk about the heroes of the Three Kingdoms here, just enjoying the cool. Let's read Mr. Meng's Nan Ting Xia Xiang Xin. Teacher Meng, an idyllic landscape poet, made a new hairstyle as early as the sunset and the bright moon on the east. "Let it cool at night", and let all her hair fall freely, and the whole body and mind also cooled down. It is precisely because of the launch that we can "cool off at night". It can be seen that hairstyles are also related to hot and cold. If you want to be cool and comfortable, you must change your hairstyle first.
Secondly, the weather is cool, "the wind brings the fragrance of lotus, the music of bamboo leaves dripping dew", and the breeze brings the fragrance of lotus; Dew drops on the bamboo branches, and its clear sound reaches the ears. Breeze lotus, bamboo drops, is really a summer artifact. Just a small cross brought down the temperature of the whole Tang Dynasty, and the pleasant coolness was passed on to today through words. It will cool down every time after reading it. So poetry is definitely a magic weapon to cool down. Literary cooling, literary summer, is more lasting than physical cooling, and does not consume electricity.
Let's go back to Teacher Meng Haoran. He waited for his friend, but his old friend didn't come. He regrets it very much, and he still regrets it at night. Ah, it's my midnight dream. But in fact, judging from the emotion expressed in the poem, he has no regrets at all. Why? Because I didn't wait for a friend, but for a cool breeze.
Gao Pian is also an expert in creating a sense of coolness through pictures. Gao Pian is a general, who once put down the chaos of crossing toes and made great contributions. In the hot summer days, he also showed the general demeanor, as cool as a cucumber, enjoying the scenery and enjoying the cool. Although the summer is very long, there are green trees at home, which can offset the summer heat. "The trees are shaded and the summer is long", and there is a pool. "The balcony reflects into the pool" General is also a cautious person. He observed a breeze, and then he felt the fragrance of roses from the breeze. "The crystal curtains are fluttering in the breeze, and the roses are fragrant." Here, the fragrance of flowers is a cooling artifact. This is a pattern with Meng Haoran's "Wind Send me Lotus Fragrance".
And Bai Juyi, how did he enjoy the cool? I don't know what summer it was. People in the Tang Dynasty were so hot that they looked for summer resorts everywhere. "Everyone is crazy in summer" and it's so hot, but "the unique Zen master didn't leave home." Why is this person so calm? It turns out that "but calm is cold." This mode of enjoying the cool is often said today, but it is a bit too high for ordinary people to do. It is more feasible for Meng Haoran and Yang Wanli to find coolness in the fresh breath of nature.
natural and unrestrained
Li Bai "streaked" the mountains, took off his hat and undressed to enjoy the cool.
Teacher Li Bai is a natural and unrestrained person. The heat in the city was unbearable, so he simply went to the suburbs. Look at our great romantic poet. As soon as he arrived in the mountains, he took off his hat and clothes, "naked in the green forest" and enjoyed the cool breeze almost naked. His hat hung on the stone wall, exposing his hair and blowing the breeze from the pine forest. It was a pleasant summer life, with Wei and Jin demeanor.
In contrast, Mr. Du Fu is much more honest. He is too hot. "The sun never sets, and inflammation steams my intestines." He fantasizes about a long wind, "The wind blows my clothes." But this is just a fantasy. What should I do? I can only open the window to get some air, and it is only slightly cool and helpless.
