The so-called Mid-Levels Garden is actually very simple, just a few houses with no walls around them, which look like an inn from the outside. Then why is it called Mid-Levels Garden? Because this garden is seven miles away from Jiangning City and seven miles away from the main peak of Zhongshan, it is right in the middle of the two, hence the name Mid-Levels Garden.
Plum Blossom, the representative work of Wang Anshi's "Half Mountain":
This poem is simple in language, but it has its own profound meaning, which is intriguing and widely spread, and is well known to women and children.
"Dim fragrance" is the poetic eye of this poem Plum Blossom, and it is also a borrowing from the poem "Xiao Mei in the Mountain Garden" written by Lin Bu, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, in which "the shadows are scattered horizontally and the water is clear and shallow, and the dim fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon". Lin Bu lived away from real life and lived in seclusion in the mountains all his life. The lofty spirit in his poems is obvious. However, Wang Anshi's Plum Blossom is far-reaching and better. He skillfully used Lin Bu's poems to bring forth the old and bring forth the new. By praising plum blossoms for their purity and fragrance, he showed that he was not afraid of difficulties and hardships and adhered to the noble quality.
in order to get rid of the social disadvantages of poverty and weakness in the northern song dynasty and realize the ambition of enriching the country and strengthening the country, Wang Anshi insisted on carrying out reform and political reform, but it was repeatedly hindered. In the ninth year of Xining (176), Wang Anshi returned to Jiangning disheartened, and his lonely mood inevitably had a * * * connection with the plum blossom in the corner, so he wrote this famous song? Plum blossom Poetry.
Another poem, Xie Gongdun, is quite different from Plum Blossom, and I like it very much.
There is an allusion here.
In Wang Anshi's Mid-Mountain Garden, there is a small mound, which is called the Xie Gong Dun, and it is still the most humanistic attraction among the 48 scenic spots in Jinling. According to legend, it used to be the place where Xie An, the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, climbed high and looked forward to it. Coincidentally, Xie An's word Anshi is also a famous historical figure, and an ancient man whom Wang Anshi admires very much. Therefore, the combination of immediate and inner feelings gave birth to this humorous song? Xie Gongdun? .
Poetry means that my name is Anshi, and Xie An's word is Anshi, which is an accidental coincidence. Now Xie Gongdun is in our yard, and I also built a pavilion for it, called Xie Gongting. Now that Xie Gong has passed away, this place belongs to my territory. It should be called Wang Gong Dun. Why is it called Xie Gong Dun?
this poem is witty and simple as vernacular, which shows that Wang Anshi, as a famous figure of a generation, has a kind and humorous personality under the unsmiling appearance, which is why future generations admire him. Retired from the official position and away from the imperial court, Wang Anshi is an extremely ordinary old man. In his life, he can not only be in a high position and be all-powerful, but also live the most ordinary and ordinary life.
Being able to go up and down, being able to be high-powered and low-powered, he only wants to do things, not to be an official. This is a capitalized person.
