Wang Shouren, courtesy name Bo'an, nickname Yangming, posthumous title "Wencheng", known as Wang Yangming. The most famous thinker, writer, and philosopher in the Ming Dynasty of my country. Wang Yangming is the master of "Xin Xue" in the Song and Ming dynasties. His "Xin Xue Xue" theme of "Conscience-oriented" and "Unity of Knowledge and Action" philosophical thoughts are important and important in China, Japan, the Korean Peninsula, Southeast Asia and even the world. With such far-reaching influence, he, Confucius, Mencius, and Zhu Xi were collectively called Confucius, Mencius, Zhu, and Wang by later generations as the "Four Great Saints."
During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1506), Wang Yangming offended the powerful eunuch Liu Jin by speaking out for justice and was demoted to Longchang, Guizhou as Yi Cheng. Along the way, Liu Jin sent people to follow and spy on him, waiting for opportunities. When he was passing by the Qiantang River, in order to avoid being chased, Wang Yangming came to his wits and pretended to commit suicide by jumping into the river. He deceived the killer and resolved the crisis. Then he took a merchant ship to Zhoushan, but encountered a hurricane. Overnight, the merchant ship was blown to the coast of Fujian. It was against this background that Wang Yangming wrote the poem "Pan Hai".
Now, let’s appreciate the poem "Over the Sea" together:
Over the Sea
The dangers and barbarians are not stuck in the chest, how are they different from the floating clouds passing through the space? ?
The night is quiet, the sea is three thousand miles away, the bright moon is flying in the tin and the sky is windy.
The first two sentences of this poem: "The dangers and dangers are not stuck in the chest, how are they different from the floating clouds passing through the space?", which reflects that the poet originally did not pay attention to all the difficulties and dangers in the world, just like the sky passing by. Floating clouds cannot leave any waves or traces in my heart. These two lines of poetry show the poet's perseverance, fearlessness, unrestrained and unrestrained inner character and spiritual quality.
In the third and fourth sentences of this poem: "The night is quiet and the waves are three miles away, and the moon is flying in the sky under the wind", the poet further describes his feelings in the quiet night sky. On the vast sea, holding a tin stick in hand, controlling the sky wind, flying over the stormy waves and falling from the sky under the moonlight?
This poem reflects the author's free and uninhibited character, extremely confident thoughts and broad mind that looks down on honor and disgrace. , the whole poem is full of magnanimous and upright spirit.
Togo Heihachiro, the military god of the Japanese Navy, has regarded Wang Yangming as his spiritual idol throughout his life. He once said, "I will bow my head and worship Yangming all my life."; Japanese Dr. Mishima Takeshi's poem review: "A full moon on Longgang Mountain, "Looking up to the good conscience, the ancient glory"; and Zhang Taiyan commented on Wang Yangming: "Self-respect and fearlessness", these four words are well reflected in this poem.
