Little common sense about the poet's background
Lu Zugao (date of birth and death unknown), also known as Shenzhi and Cikui, also named Pujiang, was a native of Yongjia (now Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province). Lu Zugao became a Jinshi in the fifth year of Qingyuan, and later held many official positions. He once worked with the "Four Spirits of Yongjia" (i.e., the four poets Xu Zhao, Xu Ji, Weng Juan, and Zhao Lingxiu). They were all from Yongjia County, and they all had the word "ling" in their names, and they had the same reform of the poetry style at that time. (hence the name) have close contacts and are poetry friends with each other.
Zhang Duanyi of the Southern Song Dynasty said in "Gui'er Collection" that he "has a well-groomed appearance, and his writing of small lines is delicate and elegant", which means that Lu Zugao has a neat appearance and his writing of small lines is very slender and graceful. Zhou Ji, a ci critic of the Qing Dynasty, also said that his Xiao Ling was "sometimes interesting". Lu Zugao died at the age of 51. There are not many lyrics left behind, all of which are included in "Pujiang Ci Manuscript".
The story of the famous sentence
This is a poem that regrets the passing of spring and hurts loneliness and desolation. The heroine in the poem is obviously the author's former lover, and her identity is probably a geisha. The poem is full of melancholy from beginning to end. In the second half of the word, the sentence "Nianhua" at the beginning can be said to connect the previous and the following and run through the whole word. The author laments that every day is full of sorrow, the time is gone, and he is sad about the drift of his life. He then follows the sentence "Embracing the Spring". In the spring of infinite scenery, everything wakes up and is full of vitality. It is such a pleasing thing, but the author is actually depressed. Unfortunately, he still needs to get drunk to relieve the pain in his heart. The sentence "Wake up to whom" below clearly points out his longing for the woman. The world is so vast, but there is no trace of her. This situation is so sad. The author here uses the sound of the flute to refer to the cherishment of someone. In fact, he uses the artistic conception of the words in the poem "To Judge Han Chuo of Yangzhou" by Du Mu, "On a moonlit night on the twenty-four bridges, where can the beautiful lady teach me how to play the flute?" This is a poem sent by Du Mu to Han Chuo, who was a judge in Yangzhou. The beauty in the poem refers to Han Chuo; Lu Zugao borrowed the meaning and words from the poem.
At the end of the poem, the author said that those romantic affairs of buying flowers and drinking wine no longer fit his current mood, so he sighed about his years, missed his beloved people, and expressed his regrets about the unsatisfactory things in life. The regrets all converged into the author's great sadness in the end.
Timeless famous sayings
Alcohol can stimulate people’s senses. As the high concentration of alcohol spreads in the mouth, penetrates the throat, and reaches the spleen and stomach, that exciting feeling , for some people, in addition to strong excitement, it is even a bit uncomfortable. Therefore, when people are frustrated and sad, some people will choose to drink alcohol to excite and anesthetize their senses, thinking that this can temporarily relieve their sorrow. Because of this, "wine" often appears along with "sadness" in literary works. The "supporting spring" in such a famous sentence is a typical example.
Feng Yansi, a poet of the Five Dynasties who was also the Prime Minister at that time, wrote a poem "Die Lian Hua", which contains this sentence: "I often get sick and drink in front of the flowers every day, and I don't hesitate to look thin in the mirror." Facing the delicious beauty Cong Hua didn't repay him with a nice reward, but he was drunk like mud, which shows how sad he felt. Zhang Xian, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, also wrote a sentence in "Heavenly Fairy": "I wake up after being drunk in the afternoon and worry about not waking up." The metaphor of "sick wine" and sorrow has actually been used in this way as early as "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Jie Nanshan": "Worry is like a bowl, who can succeed in the country?" The national government was corrupted, the powerful ministers were in chaos, and the father of the wise man at that time Worried, depressed and angry, that painful feeling is like strong alcohol acting on the body, making it unbearable.
Li Bai, a great writer of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his famous work "Farewell to the Secretary Shu Yun at Xie Tiao Tower in Xuanzhou": "Cut the knife to cut off the water, and the water will flow again; raise a cup to eliminate sorrow and sorrow will become even more sorrowful." If you are not happy in this world, you will lose your boat in the Ming Dynasty." He drew his knife and tried to cut off the water, but the water continued to flow wherever he could. He raised his glass and tried to drink to calm his sadness, but the alcohol could only temporarily numb it. In terms of physical senses, my heart is getting more and more "sad".
At that time, Li Bai's good friend Shuyun, that is, Li Hua, was about to leave. Li Bai bid farewell to him at Xie Tiao Tower (Xie Tiao was a famous poet in the Southern Dynasties and served as the prefect of Xuancheng. There was a tall building in his jurisdiction, which later became known as Xie Tiaolou), so he wrote this poem. The poem is generous in language and high-spirited. In addition to praising Shu Yun's literary thoughts, it also expresses his own depression of not being recognized for his talent. Among them, the sentences "draw a knife to cut off the water" and "raise a glass to relieve sorrow" are still popular today and are constantly quoted by future generations.
