Begging for the Preface of Self-made Poetry Collection "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter in Ancient Poetry"
China has a history of 5,000 years and 24 years, and talented people come forth in large numbers, shocking the world and letting a hundred schools of thought contend. Needless to say, there are ancient legends in Xia Dynasty and Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty. The ancient Chinese culture alone is enough to make us proud, including inscriptions, ci fu, miscellaneous words and poems ... Among all the wonders, only poetry is the most popular in Tang Dynasty. The creation of Tang poetry can be divided into four stages according to time: early Tang, prosperous Tang, middle Tang and late Tang. The representative writers in the early Tang Dynasty were "four outstanding writers in the early Tang Dynasty", Yang Jiong, Lu, Luo. In addition, there is Chen Ziang. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, due to economic prosperity and strong national strength, Tang poetry reached its peak, with a wide range of themes and numerous schools, including "Frontier Poetry School" and "Pastoral Poetry School". The great romantic poet Li Bai and the great realistic poet Du Fu are the most outstanding representatives of this period. Their poems are the highest in this generation. In their works, no matter the five laws and seven laws, the poems and ancient songs with five unique skills and seven unique skills have achieved high artistic achievements, as Han Yu said, "Du Li's articles are endless." For example, Li Bai's "Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream" and "Putting (qiāng) into wine"; Du Fu's Three Officials and Three Farewells and so on. In the mid-Tang Dynasty, poets made their own achievements. But the most outstanding achievement is Bai Juyi, who put forward the progressive theory that "articles should be written in time, songs and poems should be written for things" and personally participated in and led the "New Yuefu Movement". Bai Juyi's poems are clear and easy to understand, and are deeply loved by the masses. His representative works include Song of Eternal Sorrow and Pipa Travel. Famous poets in the late Tang Dynasty were Wen, Li Shangyin and Du Mu. Li Shangyin and Du Mu were called "Little Du Li" (only Li Bai and Du Fu were in the second generation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty). This collection of poems is arranged in the order of "spring, summer, autumn and winter". "In spring, green trees sprout new buds, which is the representative of vitality. In summer, the sun is shining, which encourages people to make positive progress. In autumn, golden rice greets people with the fruits of bumper harvest. In winter, heavy snow falls, and the earth is as white as people's pure hearts. These are all recognized through the ages, but in the eyes of the poet, there is another state of mind. The following is the masterpiece of the poem: Spring: Jasper is dressed as a tree, and thousands of strands of green silk tapestries hang down. I don't know who cut off the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors. Summer: Egrets fly in front of Mount Cisse, peach blossoms and flowing water make mandarin fish fat. An old man in the bank, wearing a green bamboo hat raincoat and a green raincoat, braved the wind and rain and fished leisurely. He was fascinated by the beautiful spring scenery and didn't even go home in the rain. Autumn: Being a stranger alone in a foreign land, I miss my relatives twice every festive season. When I think of my brothers' bodies climbing high, I will feel a little regret for not being able to reach me. Winter: plum without snow, no spirit, snow without poetry. The sunset poem is full of snow all day, and Mei is ten springs.
