This old friend prepared a delicious meal and invited me to his hospitable farm. Green Woods surround the village and green hills are located outside the city. Open the window facing the valley vegetable garden and pass the glass to talk about crops. Please come here to see chrysanthemums when the ninth festival comes.
Reading Meng Haoran's Passing through the Old People's Village is easy to remind people of several pastoral poems by Tao Yuanming. I recorded two songs for reference.
There are few chariots and horses in the secluded places when the countryside makes friends with the secular world. This day is still Chai Men closed, and the pure mind blocks the vulgar thoughts. When complex market music, grass * * *. When we meet, we don't talk about worldly affairs, only that the garden is long in Sang Ma. Sangma grows longer; My land is getting wider and wider; Often worried about sudden frost, crops wither like shrubs. Return to the Garden (2)
Alone in a sense of loss, I returned to my hometown with a staff member. The road was bumpy and in shock. The mountain stream is crystal clear, and you have to stop and wash your feet halfway. Filter out the new wine at home and cook chicken for the neighbors. Come into the room in the middle of the night and give me a bright candle. I am happy and bitter, and the evening is short. I have returned to Tianxu. Go back to the fifth place in the garden
Meng Haoran's poems and Tao Yuanming's poems are not only similar in shape, but also similar in spirit. In terms of words, the three poems have maintained the simple and simple charm of the vernacular; There is no allusion, no antithesis, it reads smoothly, and there is no artificial feeling, which makes people feel a kind and simple feeling from the surface of the text.
From the content point of view, "Prepare chicken rice for me, old friend, you entertain me at your farm" in Haoran's poem is "I am a newly cooked wine, and only chicken attracts the latest game" in Yuanming's poem. ; In Haoran's poem, "We open your window, cross gardens and fields, and talk about mulberry and hemp with cups in our hands". That is, in Yuanming's poems, "Meeting without miscellaneous words, Sang Ma is long." ; And "we look at the green trees around your village and the pale blue of the distant mountains." There is a profound poem, "Xia Meng has long vegetation, and the trees in front of and behind the house support the spine." Meng Haoran was born more than 300 years later than Tao Yuanming, but in the artistic conception of poetry, the two have such similar performances, which is quite noteworthy. Although at first glance, the two poems "Passing the Old Village" and "Returning to the Garden" are both works describing rural scenery and praising rural life, Meng Haoran and Tao Yuanming were invited to Tianjia, or were invited to the farm to be close, and lived a gossip about simple living in Sang Ma. But in fact, there is no language in the poem, but there is another kind of refined feeling, which can be witnessed in the following two poems:
The shadow of the mountain rises suddenly, and the moon in the pond rises slowly from the east. I let go of my hair to enjoy the coolness at night, opened the window and lay down peacefully. The evening breeze sent waves of lotus fragrance, and the dew on the bamboo leaves made a crisp sound. I will pick up my lute and play, but, alas, who here will understand? ; Feeling for a night, I miss my old friends all night, and it is hard to miss them in my dreams.
Meng Haoran misses Xin in the summer of Nanting.
Every family has a difficult experience, and the lonely cloud goes alone and disappears into the air. When will it see the afterglow The morning sun shines on Cebu, birds fly to each other, they slowly leave the forest, and Weixi comes back. Do what you can, will you be cold and hungry? What's sad about knowing that friends don't exist?
Tao Yuanming wrote one of the seven poems of the poor.
Although in their seclusion, some old people visited each other and invited Sandoma to drink turbid wine, they never abandoned these simple and kind friends and that simple and quiet mood; Only Meng Haoran and Tao Yuanming are not ordinary farmers after all. Even if they intend to integrate themselves into rural pastoral areas, they still inevitably feel different from the environment from time to time, and there is often a sigh of "no confidant" in their spiritual life. Therefore, although their pastoral poems are so peaceful and leisurely on the surface, readers who can understand their inner feelings will still touch the lonely heartstrings and feel sorry and sad. Because the times are different and the life experience environment is different, "ambitious people will not get better", and they have to live in seclusion in the countryside, which is their great sorrow.
What's the point of being alone, day after day, until now I have to leave? Old friend, how sweet the roadside flowers would be if they didn't mean goodbye. The Lord of the kingdom is hard on us? People who have affairs are not our kind. You should just be lonely, and I will close the door of my old garden.
This is a five-character poem that Meng Haoran left to his friend Wang Wei. After reading it, people are infected with an atmosphere of infinite loneliness and helplessness. Generally speaking, poets have a sense of arrogance and keen sensibility, so poets are often not accepted by the world and are dissatisfied with reality. Meng Haoran (AD 689-740) was a native of Xiangyang in the Tang Dynasty. About his life, the records in the old and new Tang books are very brief, only that he spent most of his life in his hometown Lumen Mountain (in the southeast of Xiangyang County, Hubei Province) and went south to the governor of the capital at the age of 40. However, his time as an official is extremely short and unsatisfactory, which is probably related to his personality. "New Tang Book" spread the cloud:
(Wang) Wei privately invited to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In Russia, Xuanzong arrived and Ran Hao left. Shi is right. Emperor Xi said, "I have heard of him, but I have never seen him. Why can't you hide? " Hao Haoran came out. The emperor asked about his poems, and Haoran worshipped what he had done. To "I made a slip of the tongue and was banished by the monarch" (original poem: "Beifuxiu wrote a letter to this broken cottage in Zhongnanshan. I made a slip of the tongue and was banished by the monarch. I was ill for so long and didn't see a friend. The frequency of white hair is that people are getting more and more every day, and spring is coming to force them to die. So I lay awake and meditated, and the window was empty at night in the moonlight. " The emperor said, "Don't be an official! I have never abandoned your mother. Why do you accuse me falsely? " Due to release.
From this record, we can guess that Meng Haoran may be quite neurotic, and his heart is full of contradictory thoughts of self-esteem and inferiority. In other words, he is a typical multi-sensory poet. "New Tang Book" and preach:
The interview asked Han Chaozong to invite Haoran to Beijing to recommend the dynasty. I will meet my old friends and have a good time. Or: "Jun and Han Palace have a regular schedule." Haoran said angrily, "I have already drunk, and I am sorry for him?" The pawn is not going. Anger at the Sect, goodbye. Haoran has no regrets.
This kind of frankness and arrogance is really not the attitude that a person who wants to be an official should hold. No wonder he resents that "the Lord of the realm is harsh on us", but his official career has always been a story of "not reaching" the old Tang book. However, Meng Haoran is not the only scholar in the past dynasties who neglected the government dignitaries and even the emperor by drunkenness. The biography of Nan Shi Yan Yanzhi:
It is not common for Wendi to call for an extension. Every day in the hotel is a naked elegy, but if he doesn't respond, he will see it when he is drunk.
It can be seen that it is inevitable for people who have ups and downs on weekdays. However, due to various practical problems, sometimes people have to do things against their will in order to compromise, so a person can only do whatever he wants with the encouragement of alcohol. However, Yan Yanzhi, after all, is more sophisticated, so after a good vent, he still tried to make up for it. As for Meng Haoran, he accidentally showed "no regrets" after offending others. The difference between them made Yan Yanzhi enjoy the honor of being chased, while Meng Haoran could only die helplessly.
Poets are often narcissistic, so their hearts are always shrouded in a sense of loneliness. This kind of loneliness is almost readily available in the chapters of ancient and modern poets. How difficult it is to find a bosom friend in the vast sea of people; Meng Haoran began to travel to the capital at the age of forty, but he wrote poems in imperial academy, which won Wang Wei's friendship. Wang Wei is twelve years younger than Meng Haoran (AD 70 1-76 1). He likes playing the piano and writing poems, and often sings all day. He and Meng Haoran became bosom friends. In addition to meeting each other through writing, I'm afraid their * * * same interests are also a reason. Wang Wei and Meng Haoran, two lonely hearts, met and knew each other after middle age and exchanged a stream of quiet friendship. However, life is different, and the most heartbreaking thing is to leave your bosom friend. Meng Haoran felt this, so he wrote the poem "People who make peace with affairs are not the same kind of people". Since the old friend can't stay in the world for a long time, he would rather go back to his Xiaotian yard, lock Chai Fei up, and then guard that initial loneliness.
