This is the paradise in my heart, Canglang in my dream
I think "Canglang Song" is not just about "advising people to avoid disasters and be alone", but emphasizes People must not only be upright and enterprising, but also have an open mind.
Qu Yuan thought, "Is it possible for An Neng to be as white as Hao Hao, but to be covered with the dust of the world?" However, Canglang Song said: "The water in Canglang is turbid, and you can wash my feet." This is "the lotus comes out" Another way of saying "untainted by mud" is that a white person's confession will not be stained. (Qu Yuan) You don't need to die to express your innocence and purity, (since you are unable to change the world situation of "the world is turbid") ) You should face this state of the world suddenly.
The first sentence of the Canglang Song, "The water in the Canglang is clear and can be used to wash my tassels" is obviously to persuade people to be proactive. "Tassel", tassel refers to hats. In ancient times, men's hats were a symbol of status, so "Zhuowao tassel" is of course a metaphor for being an official. The correct interpretation of "Canglang Song" should be "A gentleman lives in the world. When he is in trouble, he will be an official, and when he is in trouble, he will be hidden. (The words come from the "New Notes on the Book of Han")" This is another meaning of "If you are prosperous, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can be alone." A statement.
