Appreciation of the ancient poem "Wang Yucheng Qingming"

Wang Yucheng's Qingming Festival

No flowers, no wine, crystal clear, bleak taste.

Yesterday, the neighbor asked for a new fire, and the window was separated from the desk lamp.

To annotate ...

1 bare: refers to the ethereal and detached appearance.

(2) Begging for a new fire: Because the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day was the Cold Food Festival, the fire was banned on this day, so the fire should be resumed.

Wang Yucheng (954- 100 1) was born in Juye, Jeju (now Juye County, Shandong Province). Poet and essayist in Northern Song Dynasty. In the eighth year of Taiping and Xingguo (AD 983), Song Taizong was a scholar, and he was awarded the master book of Chengwu (present-day Shandong) and moved to Dali to judge matters, and Changzhou (present-day Suzhou, Jiangsu) was a magistrate. At the end of the year (988 AD), he called for a test, rose to the right and collected relics, and went straight to the history museum. Later, because of this incident, he was demoted as an assistant to the ambassador of Shangzhou (now Shangxian County, Shaanxi Province). Call the foreign minister of does, and you will know the imperial edict. In the first year of Taizong (AD 995), he became a Taoist and served as a bachelor of Hanlin. Later, he was demoted to Chuzhou (now Chuzhou, Anhui) by the Ministry of Industry for libel, and changed to Yangzhou the following year. Zhenzong acceded to the throne (AD 997), and later called into the capital to learn the imperial edict. Writing a true record of Mao, because of historical facts, Xianping was once again demoted to the capital in the second year (AD 999) and went to Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei), so he was called Wang Huangzhou. In the fourth year of Xianping (A.D. 100 1), he was renamed qi zhou in winter (now Qichun, Hubei) and died at the age of 48. Wang Yucheng, the pioneer of the poetry innovation movement in the Northern Song Dynasty, praised Du Fu and Bai Juyi in literature, and his style was fresh and simple. Author of small livestock collection.

This poem was written by the poet when he was traveling abroad before becoming an official. Through the description of Qingming, the poet showed his poor reading career during his ten-year guest tour. The poem reads: This Tomb-Sweeping Day, without flowers and wine, is cold and boring, just like a monk in a barren mountain temple. Yesterday in Tomb-Sweeping Day, I got new kindling from my neighbor and studied hard under the lamp until dawn. The poet studied hard at the cold window and was indifferent.
