My book is a seven-character quatrain written by Liu Cha, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem uses a "grinded knife" as a metaphor for the repressed sense of justice, expressing the poet's complex feelings and chivalrous and heroic personality. The whole poem is novel in conception, metaphorical to the police, ambitious in spirit and loud in syllables. It sings the voice of "Ye Fu", "If there is any injustice, it will sound", and its tone is high and generous.
When the sun rises, everything in the world is as fine as wool. Ye Fu was very angry, saw the injustice, and wore the eternal knife on his chest. Every day when the sun rises in the east, many complicated things in the world begin to happen one by one. A lot of injustice happened around me, and my heart was full of anger, so I kept attacking them, but there were too many injustices, and the "knife" in my chest to fight injustice gradually wore away.
This poem uses the most common thing "grinded knife" to describe the repressed sense of justice, and clearly shows the poet's complex feelings and chivalrous and heroic personality. The artistic technique is very clever. In the works of poets in the Tang Dynasty, we haven't seen the metaphor of people's thoughts and feelings with "knife". This novel conception and metaphor for the police show the unique style of Liu Cha's poetry.
Seven-character quatrains:
Seven-character quatrains are a genre of China's traditional poetry, which belongs to the category of modern poetry. There are four poems in this style, each with seven words, and there are strict metrical requirements in rhyme and adhesion. This poetic style originated from Yuefu songs in the Southern Dynasties or Yuefu folk songs in the Northern Dynasties, or can be traced back to folk songs in the Western Jin Dynasty, and it matured in the Tang Dynasty. Representative works include Wang Changling's Poems on Newly Built Lotus Inn, Li Bai's Poems on Newly Built Baidicheng, and Du Fu's Poems on Riverside Meeting Li Guinian.
Seven-character quatrain is a kind of quatrain, which is called seven-character quatrain for short, and its origin is not clear. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people thought that the Four Musts originated from Xiao Gang, Yu Shinan or the four great masters, and all of them referred to the seven-character laws. Although in its development process, the Seven Juexing was indeed dominated by the law, like the Five Juexing, the formation of the ancient Juexing still preceded the law.
Modern scholars at home and abroad generally tend to regard Yuefu folk songs in the Northern Dynasties as the source of seven-character ancient poems. Some scholars also believe that the source of seven-character ancient poetry should be traced back to the folk songs of the Western Jin Dynasty. Although there were mature seven-character quatrains like Ge Yanxing written by Cao Pi in the Han and Wei Dynasties, the earliest complete seven-character four-sentence style appeared in the ballads of the Western Jin Dynasty. This is the song of the old man in Yuzhou, which rhymes: "Fortunately, Li escaped from danger and became a loving father. Xuanjiu forgot to work hard, so why bother thinking about singing and dancing? "
