The first song
Thoughts on a Quiet Night by Li Bai
so bright a gleam on the foot of my bed, could there have been a frost already?.
lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight, sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home.
When it comes to homesickness, this poem by Shixian is the first time that all China people who have a little knowledge of literature and ink think of it. This poem is clear as words, catchy to read, and expresses people's homesickness, so it has been widely read for thousands of years and has become the most familiar classical poem for Chinese people. It does not pursue the novelty of imagination, but also abandons the exquisite beauty of rhetoric; It expresses rich and profound contents with fresh and simple brushwork. The environment is the environment, the emotion is the emotion, so lifelike, so moving, never tired of reading, and resistant to people's search. No wonder some people praise it as "wonderful ancient and modern"
the second
Meng Jiao's "Ode to a Wanderer"
the thread in the hands of a fond-hearted mother, makes clothes for the body of her wayward boy.
carefully she sews and thoroughly she mends, dreading the delays that will keep him late from home.
but how much love has the inch-long grass, won the third spring festival.
This is an ode to maternal love. The poem eulogizes the greatest emotion of mankind-maternal love. In particular, the last two sentences of the poem, with the metaphor of popular images, repose the fervent feelings of the childlike, and are widely celebrated for the motherly love like spring. The whole poem has no flowery words or clever carvings, and is full of rich and mellow poetic flavor in the fresh and smooth, simple and plain language, which has touched the heartstrings of many readers for thousands of years and caused thousands of wanderers to sing.
The third song
Bai Juyi's Farewell to the Ancient Grass
boundless grasses over the plain, come and go with every season.
wildfire never quite consumes them, they are tall once more in the spring wind.
sweet they press on the old high-road, and reach the crumbling city-gate.
o Prince of Friends, you are gone again, I hear them sighing after you.
Bai Juyi's poem, especially the second sentence, is the most famous and influential. "wildfire never quite consumes them, they are tall once more in the spring wind" vividly shows the tenacious vitality of weeds, inspiring many generations of China people to forge ahead, and people will never die and struggle. His whole poem is precise in composition, natural, fluent and neat in language, lyrical in scenery and harmonious in artistic conception, which is called a swan song.
The fourth
Seven Steps Poem by Cao Zhi
Boil beans and burn beans, and the beans cry in the kettle.
since we are born from the same root, why are we in such a hurry?
This poem, together with this allusion, is widely known in China. Cao Zhi used a very apt, simple and vivid metaphor to express his feelings, and therefore escaped. Whenever brothers fight again, China people will think of this poem, "We are born from the same root, so why are we in such a hurry?"
the fifth
at heron lodge by Wang Zhihuan
mountains cover the white sun, and oceans drain the golden river.
but you widen your view three hundred miles, by going up one flight of stairs.
"but you widen your view three hundred miles" is a poet's endless desire to explore, and the only way to see what his eyesight can achieve is to stand higher, "by going up one flight of stairs". These two poems vividly suggest a philosophy: you can only look far if you climb high; Looking far, you must climb high. The extraordinary ambition of the poet who wrote this poem in climbing the mountains and looking far has also inspired China people to be high-spirited.
The sixth song
on the mountain holiday thinking of my brothers in shandong by Wang Wei
Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family more often during the festive season.
I know from a distance where my brother climbs, and there is one less person in the dogwood.
This poem is about a wanderer homesick for his relatives. The loneliness of living in a foreign land is bleak, so I always miss my hometown and miss people. When I meet a festive occasion, I miss you doubly. Poetry jumps repeatedly, implicative and deep, simple and natural, and tortuous. For thousands of years, "I miss my relatives twice during the festive season" has become a famous saying of wandering thoughts, which has touched many wandering people's hearts. China people's unique holiday homesickness comes from this.
the seventh book of songs
the first book of songs
Guan Guan's dove is in the river continent.
a gentle and graceful lady is a gentle and graceful gentleman.
ragged shepherd's purse flows from left to right.
my fair lady, please ask for it.
I'd love to.
leisurely, tossing and turning.
pick the ragged shepherd's purse from left to right.
my fair lady is my friend.
ragged shepherd's purse, hair on the left and right.
my fair lady, the bells and drums make her happy.
The Book of Songs is the beginning of China's poems, among which there are many famous sentences throughout the ages, especially the first one is widely known. There are also many love poems by China, among which there are many famous sayings throughout the ages, but Guan Ju has the greatest influence. Whenever a man sees a beautiful woman and wants to catch up with her, "My Fair Lady is a Gentleman" becomes the most sufficient reason.
the eighth poem
Li Qingzhao's "Summer quatrains"
Life is a hero, but death is a hero.
so far, I miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong.
This impassioned poem by poetess Li Qingzhao is high-pitched and clearly puts forward the value orientation of life: people should be heroes among people and make contributions to the country when they are alive; Even if you die, you have to die for your country and become a hero among ghosts. Patriotic passion, beyond words, does have a deafening effect. The poet lashed out at the shameless behavior of the ruling party in the Southern Song Dynasty, and used the ancient times to satirize the present, which was awe-inspiring. The whole poem is only twenty words, and three allusions are used in succession, but there is no harm in piling it up, because it is all the poet's voice. Hit the floor's poems, so generous and vigorous, are written by women, which is really overwhelming.
No.9
farewell to vice-prefect du setting out for his official post in shu by Wang Bo
by this wall that surrounds the three Qin districts, through a mist that makes five rivers one.
we bid each other a sad farewell, we two officials going opposite ways.
and yet, while China holds our friendship, and heaven remains our neighbourhood.
inaction is in the wrong way, and children * * * touch the towel.
this poem is a famous farewell work. Poetic consolation: don't be sad when you leave. The triple "and yet, while China holds our friendship, and heaven remains our neighbourhood", with its towering peaks, highly summarizes the scene of "profound friendship, mountains and rivers are hard to resist". The great words are self-made, passed down through the ages and are well-known. The theme of "sending" is pointed out at the end of the couplet. The opening and closing of the whole poem is frustrated, the pulse is circulating, and the artistic conception is broad-minded. Wash away the sadness in the ancient farewell poems, and the tone is bright and clear, fresh and lofty, and it is a unique stone tablet.
the tenth
Li Shen's
When weeding at noon, sweat drips down the soil.
but every grain of Chinese food is hard.
this poem is about the hardships of labor, and the fruits of labor are hard to come by. The sigh and warning of "Who knows that every grain of food is hard" is free from empty and abstract preaching, and has become a profound motto with flesh and blood. This poem does not focus on specific people and events. The poet chooses typical life details and well-known facts, and tells a simple truth that the fruits of labor are hard to come by.
