The story of poetry

Tang Li Shangyin's A Unique Poem of HanDong Langyan.

When I was ten years old, I wrote poems.

Cold ashes and candles stay away from love.

Danshan Road, Wan Li, Tonghua,

Little Phoenix knows better than old Phoenix.

The poet Han Wo is the nephew of Li Shangyin. He is a budding young poet with little talent. When I was ten years old, I wrote a farewell poem before I sent Li Shangyin a farewell party, which surprised everyone. Later, Li Shangyin wrote his poems again, and made this unique reward. Lao Feng, here refers to the Korean War (the father of Han Ai) who was admitted to the Jinshi in the same year as Li Shangyin, that is, the fear officer in the title. According to legend, Danshan is the birthplace of Phoenix, and there are many buttonwood trees on it. Tung flowers are in full bloom, and the phoenix is in full bloom. Among them, the young Feng Ming is clear and mellow, which is better than the old Phoenix. This poem says that the reputation of Little Phoenix is clearer than that of Old Phoenix, which means that Dong Lang's talent is better than his father's and he has a bright future. Now it is often used to indicate that the talents of the younger generation are stronger than those of the older generation.

One day, Jia Dao rode a donkey in the street of Chang 'an, the capital of China, and casually recited a poem, including two sentences:

"Birds perch on trees by the pool, and monks push the moon down the door."

Jia Dao felt that the word "push" in the poem was not properly used. He wants to change the word "push" to "knock", but he doesn't know which word is good at the moment. So, while thinking, I repeatedly pushed the door and knocked at the door with my hand. Pedestrians in the street were surprised to see Jia Dao's expression.

Han Yu saw it and said angrily to Jia Dao, "Why don't you ride a donkey with your head down and look ahead?"

Jia Dao was surprised, hurriedly got off the donkey, saluted Han Yu, and said the poem he had just got from the donkey again. Because he thought of the words "push" and "knock", he concentrated on thinking, so he avoided answering.

After hearing this, Han Yu turned anger into joy. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Good typing! When everything is asleep and quiet, knocking at the door is even more dead of night. "

Jia Dao repeatedly thanked him with a poem entitled "Monk Knocking at the Door".

The word "scrutiny" comes from the story of Jia Dao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, who tempered his poems, meaning to ponder repeatedly.
