Throughout world history, we all know that among the four ancient civilizations, only the Chinese culture has been truly continued. It has to be said that Chinese culture does have a unique nature. This time let us slowly taste the culture of the Song Dynasty, one of its representatives. When talking about the Song Dynasty, we will never forget the literary genre of Song Ci, and the representative of the bold faction of Song Ci will mention Su Shi. These are almost catchy things to us. However, today I won’t talk about Su Shi’s poetry. After all, his poetry has reached an insurmountable height. Instead, today I will talk about the unpopular topic of Su Shi’s poetry. Many people may find it strange, because although we are no strangers to poetry, we feel inexplicably strange to Su Shi's poems.
In fact, Su Shi himself also wrote many poems and essays, but because his words were too incisive, the poems and essays were forgotten in the corner by all of us. Among them, one of his favorite poems is often given to friends. As for whether it is true, his friend Huang Tingjian also confirmed it in "Postscript to Su Shi Haitang's Poems". We don't need to dwell on this point too much, let us appreciate it. Let’s take a look at his favorite poem - Living in the east of Dinghuiyuan, the mountains are full of miscellaneous flowers, and there is a crabapple, which the natives don’t know is valuable
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
Miasma in Jiangcheng Among the wild grass and trees, only the famous flowers are bitter and lonely.
Between the bamboo fence and the mountains of peaches and plums, a charming smile is always vulgar.
I also know that creation has deep meaning, so I send a beautiful woman to the empty valley.
Wealth and honor naturally come from heaven, and there is no need to wait for a golden plate to recommend a gorgeous house.
The red lips are so drunk that the face is dizzy, and the green sleeves and rolled gauze reflect the red flesh.
The forest is deep and foggy, the dawn is late, the sun is warm and the wind is gentle, and you can sleep enough in spring.
There are tears in the rain and sadness, and no one is more beautiful under the moon.
My husband is well fed and has nothing to do. He takes a leisurely walk and searches his belly.
Don’t ask about other people’s houses or monks’ houses, just knock on the door with a stick and look at the bamboos.
Suddenly, when the beautiful light fades away, I sigh and wipe my sick eyes without saying anything.
Where can I get this flower in a poor country? It is a good thing to move it to Western Shu.
It is difficult to reach even an inch of root thousands of miles away, and the swans will be fixed by the fly.
Everyone who wanders around the world can recite this song to drink a bottle of it.
When I sober up tomorrow morning and still come alone, I can’t bear to touch the falling snow.
What do we think when we see the title of this poem? Did you find it was too long? Perhaps this is the case. Originally a catchy and good poem, many of us ended up remembering only the good lines but forgetting the name of the poem. Today is an opportunity for everyone to remember the name of this poem, which is also a kind of capital to show off. The most basic of classical Chinese writing is concise and concise, but this poem by Su Shi seems to be too wordy, but it is not. Because of the scene and emotion at that time, but what happened? The following is the background to the origin of this poem.
At that time, it can be said that Su Shi was at the most depressed time in his life. He was implicated in the Wutai Poetry Case, was slandered, and suffered many hardships. Not to mention my official career, my spirit suffered a big blow. At that time, he settled in Dinghuiyuan, Huangzhou, and discovered a crabapple flower that was unique to his hometown. This gave him an inspiration, and he became inspired by poetry. He wrote it in one go and created such a beautiful article.
At that time, Su Shi was unhappy in life. He happened to encounter a Begonia flower, and his frustrated soul found some solace. Under such circumstances, although he was in a foreign country, he still had such a Begonia flower to keep him company. , he did not abandon himself even when he was in the most critical moment. We are both fallen people at the end of the world, a lonely begonia flower, and himself at the end of the road. At this time, the begonia flower is no longer a simple plant for Su Shi. It’s the friends you trust the most.
Su Shi rose to prominence in the first half of his life. When he was young and successful, he was very high-spirited. His articles at that time showed his heroic spirit. In his later years, he has experienced all kinds of life, ups and downs. There is another charm, a crabapple flower, which expresses his emotions for the rest of his life. This is why Su Shi liked to give this poem as a gift in his later years.
Remember? Maybe not, but it doesn't matter. You can pay attention to it and collect it. One day when you think of this poem but forget it, you can read it. Maybe then you will experience a different life and have a different perception.
