Yuan Zhen, the word is subtle. Bai Juyi and Bai Juyi have been close friends for many years. When I was young, I was a school bookseller, full of high spirits. Before he got ahead, he criticized the shortcomings of the times, offended the powerful and was exiled to the capital. Since then, he has been an official for many years, and has been writing poems and singing with each other. He can be said to be the most famous bosom friend in the history of China literature. They are not only congenial in temperament, but also in poetic style. Together, they used poetry as a tool to remonstrate and advocated "New Yuefu Movement", namely "Bai Yuan".
After Bai Juyi was demoted, he learned his lesson and became smooth. Later, he became a bachelor of Hanlin and a doctor of Zuo Zanshan. Later poems were no longer extreme, shallow and gentle, clean and neat, and the Song people borrowed more from Bai Juyi, which was called "white body". In the history of poetry, Yuan Zhen is more like the shadow of Bai Juyi, with similar poetic style, experience and career, but the immortal is not as big as Bai Juyi, and poetry is not as good as Bai Juyi. His love affairs are more known to later generations, such as the truth story and the love and hate of all talented women in the middle Tang Dynasty. He is seven years younger than Bai Juyi, but was appointed as an official in the same month of the same year. The relationship between them is inseparable, and it is not a whim to wear a pair of pants. Their poems were extremely well paid throughout their lives until Yuan Zhen died of sudden illness at the age of 53. Many years later, Bai Juyi often thought of this young acquaintance singer and lifelong friend, and became a poem.
And this "Dream Micro" is a morning about eight years after Yuan Zhen died. Bai Juyi, a white-haired boy, woke up from a dream of traveling with Yuan Zhen's teenager, thinking of old feelings, wondering where his friends' souls are, remembering that the dead have gone and the living will go, and wrote a seven-law.
Look at the leveling first. Starting from the sentence "Let's dream together at night", Ping Ping means "Ping Ping Ping", which is actually "Ping Ping Ping". In order to balance the rhyming format, the whole seven-tone level is introduced:
It has been checked quickly, and there is no problem with leveling and "positive" and "sticky". The jaw couplet reads "Zhangpu is old, weak, sick and disabled three times, Xianyang leaves grass eight times in autumn", and the neck couplet reads "You bury the mud and sell bones in spring, and I send snow all over the world". The ending words "You, Shou, Qiu, Tou, Bu" bet on the rhyme "Eleven Excellent". So this 7-meter meter is perfect.
Look at the content again. The first narrative begins with "dream at night, tears in the morning", explaining the time, writing poetry and emotional state. Directly under the title of "Mengwei", I dreamed of traveling hand in hand with Wei Yuan last night, and I was in high spirits, scolding Fang Qiu, opposing poetry and ignoring Wan Huhou. How happy I am! When I woke up in the morning, I remembered Yuan Zhen's poem "I only dreamed of idlers, not kings". I couldn't stop crying because I was covered with a pillow towel, and I didn't want to wipe it.
The jaw association "Zhangpu is old, weak, sick and disabled for three times, Xianyang leaves grass for eight times in autumn" continues to write its current situation. I fell ill several times in Zhangpu. Chang 'an has been planting grass for eight years. This shows that Yuan Zhen has been gone for eight years, he has lived in the world for a long time, and he will fall in love with you at first sight, but I don't know how many more autumn there will be.
The neckline is transformed into a pen, "You bury the mud and pin the bones in the spring, and I send snow all over the world", and write the different States of two people. You have become the sand under the grave. What about me? Still full of white hair, living in the world. This sentence is different from the self-narration in the first two sentences, and it adopts the form of dialogue. I miss my friends and think that my friends can still hear their own words, so I will pour out my feelings in this most direct way. Simple, straightforward and shallow, but with great emotional tension and profound connotation, it is Bai Juyi's "white body" feature.
"A lang went to the same place, did you know at night?" Why did I cry at the first couplet? Also, your youngest son, Wei, and son-in-law, have all gone to accompany you, and the grave is dark. Can you know the news? Good friends go first, younger friends go first. It's sad that white-haired people send black-haired people.
The Seven Laws are all rambling by Bai Juyi, telling his dead friends about his state and people related to Yuan Zhen, hoping that Wei Yuan would know something underground. He not only wrote about his thoughts about his friends, but also expressed Bai Letian's inner loneliness as he grew older and watched people around him leave one by one.
The sentence "You bury your bones in the mud under the spring, and I send snow all over the world" has become a classic sentence to commemorate your dead friend because it is antithetical, beautiful, straightforward, profound and practical. But when it comes to "aestheticism", it may just be the image beautification brought by the words "snow over the head" to modern people.
In fact, the original intention is to be full of white hair, but this situation of yin and yang being separated, dreaming young at night and waking up with white hair and crying alone makes us feel sorry for this sincere and long-lasting friendship.
