Taizhou Miscellaneous Poems and Ancient Poetry

Tianshui, Guqin House, has been a place where dignitaries patronize and stop since ancient times. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, the economy was destroyed, and politics became increasingly dark. In addition, there was a drought in Guanzhong, and there were people who were hungry everywhere. Seeing the terrible situation in front of you, think about yourself in adversity and bear heavy paperwork. Du Fu found it really difficult to support himself and decided to quit his job and travel far. Where should I go? In 759 AD, that is, in the autumn of the second year of Gan Yuan, Tang Suzong, Du Fu went west with his family and went through hardships to come to Qin Zhou. Du Fu recorded all this in the form of poetry books and left it to future generations, which is the famous Twenty Poems. In the three months before and after Qin Zhou, the poet * * * wrote nearly a hundred poems, which, together with Du Sheng and Du Fu, cast a mysterious cultural color on Tianshui.

For example, Qin Zhou's Miscellaneous Poems (Part I) shows the poet's hesitant mood when approaching Zhou Qin, and Water Falling describes the scene of Zhou Qin in front of the poet: the drowning river and the empty valley are shrouded in a bleak atmosphere, the dragon originated in Yulong River in the northwest of Longxian County, and the birds and mice are birds and mice mountains. In the west of Weiyuan County, poets are dragons here. At the end of the couplet, the poet trudges to the west, while constantly asking whether there is a war ahead, and finally ends the poem with the feeling that "this place can't stay long". Heartbreaking refers to panic, and staying long refers to staying. Qinzhou Miscellaneous Poems (7);

"The vast mountains are among the lonely city valleys." The first part of this book is devoted to the dangerous geographical situation in Qin Zhou. Qinzhou City is located in the upper reaches of Weihe River in Longdong Mountain range, with the towering Liupanshan Mountain and its branch Longshan Mountain in the north and east, and the ancient Zhongshan Mountain and Bird Mouse Mountain in the south and west. The mountains are green and surrounded by peaks, so it was an important frontier defense town at that time. The word "boundless" describes the continuous growth and majestic momentum of mountains, while "thousands of miles" describes its repetition and profundity. An "isolated city" stands in the narrow valley of "vast mountains", and its position as a throat artery is becoming more and more important due to the surrounding environment. Wang Zhihuan's Liangzhou Ci "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, an isolated city, Wan Ren Mountain" is magnificent, while "The vast Chung Shan Man, past isolated city valleys" vaguely reveals a severe and tense atmosphere. Shen Deqian said, "Wan Ren, stand on the wall" (Tang Poetry). This comment not only shows the characteristics of the grand beginning of this poem, but also expresses the feelings endowed by these two poems.

"Without the storm, jathyapple will not enter the customs." The first couplet shows a magnificent panorama, while the second couplet narrows the scope and focuses on the "lonely city". It is common sense that clouds move because of the wind; But sometimes there is no wind on the ground and clouds move high in the sky. From the people on the ground, there is a feeling that there is no wind. If you don't stay at night, it won't be night. The first quarter moon rises very early and hangs high in the sky before dark, so there is a direct feeling that the moon has no night and no light. Clouds move without wind, and the moonlit night does not come. One is an illusion, and the other is a scene at a specific time. It is almost meaningless to write them in isolation. But once it is linked with Guan and Sai, it constitutes a new artistic realm and expresses the poet's unique sense of the times and unique emotions. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, although Qin Zhou was located in the main traffic road, it did not belong to the frontier. Since the Anshi Rebellion, Tubo took the opportunity to seize the land of Longyou and Hexi, and Qin Zhou, located in Longdong, became the frontier military center. Living in such a border town full of war, even the original ordinary scenery is often so sensitive that it seems to contain an unusual atmosphere. In the poet's understanding of the frontier situation, the cloud in the lonely city seems to be particularly close to the frontier fortress, even if there is no wind, it floats out of the border in an instant; The Moon in the Lonely City also seems to pay special attention to defense and defense, and saw the dangerous level before nightfall. There is interest in the two poems and affection in the scenery, which not only shows the unique tense and alert atmosphere in the border town, but also expresses the poet's deep concern about the border defense situation, as Pu Qilong commented in Reading Du Xin Jie: "Be alert in three or four, never." All her troubles and worries are gone with the wind and shine with the moon.

Three or four sentences have already contained the frontier worries in the description of the scenery, so five or six sentences naturally lead to a direct description of frontier affairs: "When is it too late to return to China?" "Loulan is out of water." Su Wu went to Xiongnu and was detained for nineteen years. After returning to China, he was appointed as a dependent country. The "vassal state" in the fifth sentence refers to the provinces of the "classical state" and refers to the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. About this time, an envoy to Tibet in the Tang Dynasty stayed very late and said, "It's too late to go back to China." . In the sixth sentence, Fu Jiezi was used to behead King Loulan, saying that the threat of Tubo invasion had not been lifted. The two sentences use allusions and fu, but the language is complex, so I don't feel repetitive, but I feel embarrassed. Su Wu's return to China and Fu Jiezi's beheading of Loulan all happened in the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty. Backed by strong national strength, they were able to win diplomatic and military victories. Now, the Tang Dynasty has fallen from its heyday and declined sharply, so it is impossible to repeat the story of Wu and Fu Jiezi. These two allusions are also useful. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, they were the ode of "The country will last for a long time if a bicycle wants to ask about the border" (Wang Wei's "Make it to the frontier"), and the heroic words of "Yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, and never returns it if it doesn't break Loulan" (Wang Changling's "Join the Army"). Now, we can only say, "When will the country return?" Loulan has not returned "deeply lamented. In contrast, it is not difficult to realize the ups and downs of the past and the present and the poet's deep concern about the weakness of the country.

"If you look at the smoke for a long time, it is fading and ruining your face." Looking beyond Guansai, it seems that there are wars and fog everywhere, and the situation in the whole northwest border is very worrying. Seeing the declining frontier and land, I can't help but frown at the thought of the declining trend of the Tang Dynasty. "Smoke and dust" and "rot" were born in May and June. The corresponding opening and closing of the words "one" and "positive" shows that this declining trend continues to develop, and my sadness about state affairs has not been exhausted. The magnificent realm of the whole poem contains the sadness of the times and presents a tragic artistic beauty.
