I don't even have the face to bet on pears and nuts with those cowards.
Du Fu's poem "Alas": "The clouds in the sky are like white clothes, and they must become like pale dogs." Mei Yao Chen "The barren path has been hurried, and the dog walks alone." Fan Chengda "went to Xiqiao with the yellow dog and suddenly returned." Lu You "The dog is happy to return to Ye Ying Road, and the nest is stable in the low branches." Dogs play an important role in these poems. "Chai Men smells dogs barking and returns to people in the snowy night." On a snowy night, such gentle barking of dogs gives distant travelers the warmth of their families. It is poetic to call the barking dog the beautiful sound of beautiful rural scenery, "but listening to the coyote's firewood" and "the partition is still calling flowers" In ancient times, "a pale dog in white" was used as a metaphor for the changeable world. Chu Huaiwang Chicken and Dog: Jin's "Immortal Liu An Biography": "People spread the word of eight men, and they lived in peace, and the rest of the medicine was placed in the atrium. If chickens and dogs lick it, they will ascend to heaven. " Later, because of the metaphor of "Wang Huai chicken and dog", he climbed onto others and gained power.
White clouds turn into gray dogs.
Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a seven-character ancient poem called Alas. This poem was written for another poet, Wang. Wang, studious, poor and decent. But his wife didn't like him and finally divorced him. Some people don't know the inside story and talk about it one after another, which makes Wang look ugly. Du Fu's poem "Alas" is aimed at those comments. Don't lament that Ji Wang's good husband doesn't have a good wife, and don't lament that his good man doesn't have good luck. It laments that such a decent person is suddenly said to be so inferior. At the beginning of the poem "Alas", the author expressed his feelings like this:
Clouds in the sky are like white clothes, you must become a pale dog;
Throughout the ages, all kinds of life have happened!
Xing is used as a metaphor in the poem, saying that the floating clouds in the sky are obviously like an innocent and clean dress, but they soon become a gray-haired dog; Since ancient times, there are many wonders on the road of life! ..... (Xu, suddenly; A pale dog, a dog in a blue coat. )
Because of this poem by Du Fu, later generations used "a white dog" to lament the rapid and unexpected changes in the world of personnel. But they are generally called "white clouds and pale dogs".
