Cao Cao
Calling for Song one after another, how many days do we have? Swearing is like morning dew, it is difficult to go to Japan. Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve your worries? Only Du Kang. Qingqing is your collar, YY is my miss. But for your sake, I've thought it over. A herd of deer, yo, ate mugwort in Ye Yuan. I have a guest, drumming and advocating sheng. As clear as the bright moon, when can I forget it? The troubles come from this and cannot be cut off. The weirder, the more useless. Talk about it, and remember the past. There are few stars on the moon, and blackbirds fly south. Turn around the tree three times, what branches can you rely on? The mountain is never too high, and the sea is never too deep. The duke of Zhou vomited, and the world returned to the heart.
The author introduces:
Cao Cao (155-220), born in Peiguoqiao (now Bo County, Anhui Province) and Jian 'an (Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty 196-220), was an outstanding politician, strategist and writer.
"Jian 'an is an era in the history of China literature", and Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, Cao Cao's father and son, are outstanding representatives of Jian 'an writers.
Cao Cao was born in a family with low social status. Politically, he represents the interests of the small and medium-sized landlord class. Under the situation of sharp class contradictions at that time, he implemented enlightened measures such as restraining the merger of powerful countries, opening up wasteland and appointing talents, and quickly unified the north.
Cao Cao's "martial arts outside, literature inside", "climbing must be endowed" and "elegance has love poems." While widely spreading Tan Sitong, he created a new literary atmosphere with his own creation. His main achievement in literature is poetry, and there are 2 1 existing poems, all of which are Yuefu poems. Some of these poems reflect the turbulent social reality and are written generously and sadly. Amin poet Zhong Xing said that his poems are "the true records of the late Han Dynasty and the true history of poetry". The other part describes his ambition and indomitable enterprising spirit of unifying the world, and shows the poet's political vision and lofty aspirations. There are also some descriptions of natural scenery, which are broad, magnificent and noble.
In art, Cao Cao inherited the fine traditions of The Book of Songs, The Songs of Chu and the Han Yuefu, and made some innovations. His poems are unpretentious, simple and vigorous, vigorous and powerful. However, some poems are not good in ideological art and are relatively negative, so they should be chosen in study.
Today's translation:
I sing while drinking. How many years do I have left? Like a fleeting morning dew, the past days were too painful. I am addicted to drinking and singing, and my deep worries are unforgettable. What can I use to dispel my worries? I can only drown my sorrows in wine. Blue-collar bachelor, I miss you all the time. Just for you, I am still obsessed with singing "Ji Zi". Deer are chirping in the wild and eating mugwort. If I have guests, I will definitely play the piano and invite blowing sheng. Like a bright full moon, when has it ever stopped running? I am anxious for talents, and I can't stop worrying. Guests came all the way to ask me questions. Reunion after a long separation, heart-to-heart, feasting, and remembering the kindness of the past. The moon stars are rare, and the black magpie spreads its wings and moves south. Fly around the tree, which branch can inhabit? The mountains are high and steep, and the sea is deep and deep. Duke Zhou vomited and shook his hair, and the wise men in the world returned to their hearts.
Analysis:
"A Short Song Line" belongs to "Song Xianghe Pingdiao Qu" and is the first poem. According to Yu Guanying's Selected Poems of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, this song seems to be a feast song. In the poem, he lamented that time flies, expressing his thirst for talents and his ambition to accomplish the great cause of reunification. As far as the whole poem is concerned, the tone is high.
Short Songs is the representative work of Cao Cao, written before Liu Biao's southern expedition. Poetry writing can be divided into three parts.
The first eight sentences are the first part. The poet thinks that life is too short and wants to amuse himself by drinking and chatting wildly. The lamentations of "life geometry" and "how to solve worries" are negative on the surface, but in fact they are caused by something, which is a tortuous reflection of the author's positive and enterprising spirit, different from ordinary eating, drinking and having fun. Isn't it? In reality, wars are frequent, the people are in poverty, the great cause of reunification has not been completed, and years have passed. How can it not worry people? In this deep sigh, we seem to see a moving image of sadness, anxiety and desire to make contributions.
The second part of the middle sixteen sentences is quoted as a sentence. With the help of imagination, it can be said that it is a thirst for talents. We know that poets are full of hidden worries. How to solve the problem? Naturally it won't be Du Kang. If the first eight sentences are written directly in the Book of Songs, and the complex feelings of missing talented people are expressed through the detailed description of sound, image and color, reaching a seamless level, then the last eight sentences directly reveal this feeling, which is even stronger! In a dreamlike state, the poet expressed his deep, persistent, eager and pure yearning for talents. The style is different.
The last eight sentences are the third part of Min, which points out the main idea-the world returns to its heart and pours out its wishes. The seventh sentence writes about scenery, expresses feelings in a comparative way, and feels sorry for the talented people who have no branches to follow in troubled times. Five Que in Cai Xian. The background at that time was this: after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, many people attached themselves to Liu Biao and went south. Liu Biao's "talent without use, incompetence without gain" made Cao Cao feel deeply, paving the way for pushing the whole poem to a climax. The eighth sentence first expresses the hope of accepting as many talents as possible with a sentence that stands out from the others in Guanzi Hangjie. Finally, I use the allusion of Duke Zhou to express my determination to recruit talents like Duke Zhou, thus pointing out the theme.
The whole poem is full of impassioned emotions in deep anxiety, with the emphasis on longing for more wise men and heroes to help realize political ideals, and combining the thinking of sages with the realization of political ideals, so that the whole poem has a certain depth.
In artistic expression, it embodies the personal style of Cao Cao's poems. This poem is very lyrical, and the poet expresses his ups and downs through several low twists and turns, which are deep, simple, generous and sad. Formally speaking, this is a four-character poem. The poet used the old topic of Yuefu to express new content and made great achievements.
