Appreciation of Liu Yuxi's Poems "Two Odes to Autumn" Liu Yuxi has sufficient qualifications and reasons to be sad for autumn. But he sang the clear sky in autumn with "Autumn Ci" and praised Shan Ye in autumn. This is not only the poet's confession and self-encouragement, but also a proud display of his persecutors. Langzhou in the Tang Dynasty is now a modern metropolis in Changde, west of Dongting Lake in Hunan Province. Streets crisscross, traffic is busy, the city is noisy during the day and brightly lit at night. Yuanshui River passes through the city, and the 3-kilometer-long poem wall in Changde, China is built on the embankment, and the works of ancient and modern poets are engraved on it, just like a super-luxury chorus. Qu Yuan, of course, is the lead singer of the article "The Ancestor of One Hundred Generations". In the mid-Tang Dynasty, Liu Yuxi also joined in with his Autumn Poems, so that tourists from all corners of the country could enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiangcheng and listen to his sincere and bold singing throughout the ages. Among the famous poets in the middle Tang Dynasty, Yuan Zhen was descended from Xianbei, Bai Juyi was descended from Qiuci, and Liu Yuxi was a distant branch of Xiongnu. Liu Yuxi, a native of Luoyang, Henan Province, was born in a family of poetry, ceremony and tassel. His family background, the guidance of famous teachers and hard work have made him grow into a talented and ambitious young man. In the ninth year of Zhenyuan (793), at the age of 22, he passed the examination of rites, and later passed the special examination of "erudite and colorful words" personally by the emperor. Later, in the eleventh year of Zhenyuan, he went to the official department to take an examination of scholars, that is, he passed the selection examination held by the official department, which was one more than Du Mu's self-proclaimed "two immortals and one fragrance". In the mid-Tang Dynasty after An Shi Rebellion, the vassal regime was divided, the eunuch was authoritarian, the government was corrupt, and people's livelihood was depressed. The empire of the Tang Dynasty was once in full swing, but now it is getting worse. In the year of Yongzhenyuan (805), Li Yong acceded to the throne and was determined to innovate. Wang, Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan became the core figures of the innovation group, and * * * kicked off the vigorous prelude of Yongzhen's innovation. However, this political innovation came to an abrupt end in less than half a year, because the opposite of innovation was desperately opposed, and Shunzong first died of internal Zen due to illness. Just three days after the Spring Festival, Xian Zong, who came to power in a black-box operation, reached the peak of power, which struck the reformists like lightning: Wang was demoted as the governor of Yuzhou (now Chongqing) and died the following year. Wang Lai was demoted to Sima in Kaizhou (now Kaixian County, Sichuan Province) and died soon. All the other eight dignitaries who were praised as geniuses by Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty were demoted to Yuanzhou Sima, that is, Liu Yuxi, who was just over 30 years old in the so-called "history", changed from a court official in charge of Sipin, a foreign minister who was in charge of reclaiming land and sentenced him to support the salt and iron case, to a "foreign official of Langzhou Sima" who had no post and no right under Liupin and was compiled by informal cadres. For example, the sail was suddenly overturned by the storm, for example, the falcon whose feathers fluttered in the sky was suddenly shot down by an arrow in the back, and the mountain in Langzhou was suddenly shot down. Suffering is the whetstone and touchstone for people with lofty ideals. During his ten years in Langzhou, Liu Yuxi wrote more than 200 poems and more than 30 essays, which not only accounted for more than a quarter of all his works, but also had many excellent works, which became the first climax of his creation, such as Autumn Ci (two poems): sadness and loneliness in autumn since ancient times.
I say autumn is better than spring. In the clear sky, a crane is walking among the clouds.
It brought poetry to Bixiao. The mountains and rivers are clear, but the night is not first frost.
Several trees are dark red and light yellow. Try to go upstairs and find the bones,
Is it as crazy as spring? "Since ancient times" and "My Words" are written in opposition, which is the so-called "contradiction inversion" in Chinese classical poetry theory, and it is called "law of contradiction", "law of contradiction" or "law of disproof" in western modern literary theory. Sorrow for autumn, regardless of race and national boundaries, is a universal human emotion. /kloc-Autumn, a prose by Malarme, a French symbolist poet in the 20th century, expresses loneliness and sadness about autumn. Frost, a famous modern American poet, also said that autumn is "a gloomy day of autumn rain" in My Guest, November. In China, the depression in autumn, especially in late autumn, always arouses the sadness of sentimental literati, many of whom are often doomed. Therefore, mourning for autumn has become the motif of ancient poetry and a long tradition of China literati poetry. As early as in Qu Yuan's Nine Chapters, there are at least three chilly autumn winds that began on paper: autumn and winter winds, autumn-sorrowful winds, and sorrow returning to the wind and shaking sorrow, and heart grievances and internal injuries. Song Yu has always been regarded as the "ancestor of mourning for autumn" in China's poems, because there is a phrase in Nine Arguments, which is really wrong for future generations. Until Liu Yuxi, the literati wrote Qiu's poems only to unify public opinion, and someone had to come out and play the devil's advocate. Although Nuo Nuo, a scholar, finally said that "autumn is better than spring", Liu Yuxi, who was praised as a "poet" by Bai Juyi, was a different naysayer from poetry. Liu Yuxi has sufficient qualifications and good reasons to grieve for autumn. He was demoted for ten years from Chang 'an, the center of the political stage, to Longzhou County, a remote and desolate county in Zhou Xia (only governing Wuling and Longyang counties, with only 9,360 households and a population of less than 45,000). During this period, his newly married wife Shi Xue died of illness, and his baby was in urgent need of feeding. He is not only unhappy and miserable, but also suffering from a variety of diseases because of acclimatization, touching his sickbed. However, his autumn poems, with clear skies and Shan Ye in autumn, have a space from heaven to earth, a focus from white cranes to red leaves, bright and warm colors and a broad and far-reaching realm, show his optimistic and tenacious life character and stubborn personality strength of never giving in to evil forces. Like many of his later works, this is not only the poet's confession and self-encouragement, but also a proud demonstration against his persecutors. Who's in Long Beach? Remember that autumn is sunny. Every time I read autumn poems, especially recite this chapter in front of Changde poetry wall, the white crane in Liu Yuxi's poems is still high above the blue sky in my heart after thousands of years!
