That year, Bai Juyi was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima, and Yuan Zhen heard the news that he was "sitting up critically ill, and the black wind and rain hit the cold window". That year, when I heard that Yuan Zhen had been demoted, Bai Juyi "suddenly felt that his clothes were upside down on his pillow". Two people often exchange poems. Although they are not always in the same place, they are always inseparable. So it was another year, and they got together, traveled together, and had a good time. This kind of friendship in mutual appreciation is destined to be the fetters of each other's life, so even after many years, things have changed, but we can't forget the days when we were accompanied by friends.
If Bai Juyi often talked and laughed with Liu Yuxi from middle age to old age, then all his poems from youth to middle age were dedicated to Yuan Zhen. It can be said that Yuan Zhen ranks first in Bai Juyi's circle of friends, so that Bai Juyi can still dream about him many years after his death. The most typical song "Dream Micro" is Bai Juyi's deep yearning for Yuan Zhen.
Dream Micro is a mourning poem written by Bai Juyi nine years after Yuan Zhen's death. Poetry is a seven-character poem, featuring Yuan Zhen's ci. One night many years after Yuan Zhen's death, Bai Juyi dreamed of Yuan Zhen again. After waking up, he couldn't help but recall the past with melancholy.
Weimeng
Travel hand in hand with your dreams at night, but don't cry in the morning. Zhangpu was sick for three times, and Xianyang stayed in the grass for eight times in autumn. You bury your bones under the mud spring, and I send snow all over the world. Ah, Han Weilang went to the next time, but did you know that the night station was full of ignorance?
When Bai Juyi dreamed at night, he dreamed of playing hand in hand with Yuan Zhen. When I got up in the morning, my sad tears kept flowing and my skirt was wet. In Zhangpu, Bai Juyi fell ill three times, and the grass in Chang 'an has grown for eight years. Here Bai Juyi compares Zhangpu with Serina Liu's illness in the Three Kingdoms, suggesting that Yuan Zhen died for many years, leaving him alone and feeling lonely.
The essence of the whole poem lies in the neck couplet, which is also the most popular and moving sentence: "You bury the mud and pin the bones in the spring, and I send snow all over the world." You have gone to the grave, the body has been buried in the ground and turned into sand, and I am still alive here, and my hair has turned white before I know it. Even Wei Han Lang died one after another. I wonder if it's getting dark, do you know? Awei is the son of Yuan Zhen, and Han Lang is the son-in-law of Yuan Zhen. Both of them have passed away. The poet thinks that friends may have met again, but I wonder if friends can see them when the underworld is dark.
Bai Juyi was already a sickly old man when he wrote this poem. Because of his old age and illness, he has always been a somewhat pessimistic poet. Because of this dream, sadness suddenly swept through. In a poem written by Yuan Zhen to Bai Juyi before, there was a sentence that said, "Today, my mind was upside down because of illness, and I only dreamed of idlers but not gentlemen." At that time, Yuan Zhen longed for friends to dream to relieve the suffering of lovesickness, but only after the death of the person you missed, did you find that dreaming not only did not relieve the suffering of lovesickness, but added more sadness. That kind of distress is really painful. Death is the most desperate thing in the world.
Although many people expect to live a long life, sometimes they live for a long time, but they will always see more suffering. Time flies, the grass grows and the warbler flies. Year after year, when the body of a friend turns to dust, the poet's white hair becomes more desolate. At this time, Bai Juyi faced the death of his friend's descendants in turn in the time after his friend died in 1989. Expanding the scope, he faced not only the descendants of friends, but also countless people who had deep feelings with him. When a person clearly sees one close relative sleeping in front of his eyes and never waking up, that kind of pain really tortures his mind, but this kind of experience is similar to that of that year, but he has to face it many times.
However, we have gained more from this poem, but we are still moved. The deep friendship between friends always touches the softest place in our hearts. We all have our own good friends, and we all long for a bosom friend. They can cry with us, laugh with us, enjoy life with us and indulge in mountains and rivers. We will have the same topic, the same hobbies and opinions, but such friendship is actually rare, and because it is rare, we have envied the people we can have.
The deep friendship between Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen is really enviable, so after Yuan Zhen's death, Bai Juyi's pain can be imagined. Even after many years, such sadness will not decrease, but will precipitate in my heart little by little with the passage of time. It's always sour in retrospect. This is probably because Bai Juyi "started from morning" after "micro-dream".
