Where does this poem come from? -Don Bai Juyi's Dream Micro
The complete original text of this poem is like this:
Travel hand in hand with your dreams at night, but don't cry in the morning.
Zhangpu was sick for three times, and Xianyang stayed in the grass for eight times in autumn.
You bury your bones under the mud spring, and I send snow all over the world.
Ah, Han Weilang went to the next time, but did you know that the night station was full of ignorance?
I have published a translation for you so that you can understand this poem:
I dreamed of playing with you hand in hand at night, and cried in the morning.
I fell ill many times in Zhangpu and planted grass in Chang 'an for eight years.
I miss you under the grave. The soil erodes your flesh and blood, and finally turns into a pile of loess. Although I am alive now, my temples are gray.
Ah, Wei Han Lang died one after another. Do you know the gloom?
Here are some words that I think are more important. Let me explain them to you separately:
Brief Introduction: Yuan Zhen (779-83 1), a poet in the Tang Dynasty, has the same topic as Bai Juyi and became a lifelong poet friend.
Zhangpu: Place name, in the south of Zhangzhou, Fujian.
Night grass: refers to the grass planted in the cemetery every other year to pay homage to the dead friends. From the Book of Rites Tan Gong, "Where there is grass in the grave of friends, don't cry".
Jun buried under the spring: refers to Wei's death.
Awei: My youngest son.
Han Lang: My humble and lovely husband.
Night platform: refers to the tomb, because it is closed in the tomb and there is no light, so it is called night platform, and later it is also used to refer to the underworld.
Vague: vague.
If you only read the article, it may be difficult to understand the meaning, so you have to interpret it in combination with the creative background of the article at that time:
In the seventeenth year of Tang Zhenyuan (80 1), 30-year-old Bai Juyi met 23-year-old Yuan Zhen in Chang 'an. They were all impressed by each other's literary talent, and politically opposed the eunuch's autocracy and advocated frivolous and generous taxation. In order to realize the grand ambition of the ancient officials, they all took the examination of the official department and became bookkeepers of the school. Although he is an idle official, he can enjoy himself. It was not until Yuan Zhen offended the eunuch and was demoted for applying for water posts that Bai Juyi's dead letter failed. In the 10th year of Yuanhe (8 15), Yuan Zhen was demoted to Tongzhou Sima, and Bai Juyi was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima in the same year. From then on, they can only write to each other and talk to each other. In the fifth year of Taihe (83 1), Yuan Zhen died of illness in Wuchang and was buried in Xianyang the following year. Five years later (840), Bai Juyi was sixty-nine years old and recovered from a serious illness. Nine years later, the poet still has deep feelings for his old friend. In addition, health and mood are different, which increases the yearning for old friends. After dreaming of Yuan Zhen one night, the poet wrote this poem.
Having said that, let's appreciate and comment on this article together:
This poem Meng Wei is a mourning poem written by Bai Juyi nine years after Yuan Zhen's death.
"Come and dream together at night, and in the morning, tears can't be collected." In the dream, Lotte and Wei meet again, and they walk hand in hand. They may talk about world events and dawn. May denounce officialdom storm, officialdom dirty; You may laugh at evil villains and hypocrites ... but dreams always wake up! Tears wet Lotte's handkerchief, and tears didn't mean to wipe it. At that time, Lotte was an old man in his twilight years. He remembered a poem that Yuan Zhen shared with him. There are two lines in the poem: "Today, I was absent from my mind due to illness, and I only dreamed of idlers but not gentlemen." Indeed, you can't meet each other when you are alive, and you can comfort acacia when you dream. It's sad to dream that you can't see it! However, the dream after the death of an old friend is more painful! Knowing that I will never see you again in my life, I recall the lost time again and again. I feel helpless and sad every time I think about it! Death cuts off all possible ideas!
"Zhangpu is sick three times, and Xianyang leaves grass eight times in autumn." Lotte said that he had been ill in Zhangpu several times, and Chang 'an had been planting grass for eight years without knowing it. Time flies, after Yuan Zhen's death, Lotte fidgeted with old bones and just looked at the grass in Chang 'an indifferently. If only people's life could be as long as grass, just like Lotte wrote a farewell message to the old grass when he was 17 years old: "Wildfire will not devour people, and the spring breeze will blow high." It has been nine years since Lotte and Yuan Zhen broke up, and there will be several years before Lotte dies. Lotte's birth and death, without Yuan Zhen's participation!
"You bury the bones under the mud spring, and I send snow all over the world." Yuan Zhen was buried under the grave, and the soil eroded his body. Perhaps it has already turned to dust with the soil, and Lotte is only temporarily living on earth with white hair. Lotte is a "simple" meditator: detached, upright, open and frank. This sentence is the expression of white poetry, which seems simple in letter and form, but has deep feelings and connotations. I thought of my grandfather, who died not long ago. Many times, when our loved ones are alive, we are ashamed to share with others the praise we have quietly written about them, especially unwilling to let them see it for themselves. Now, my grandfather's soul is buried in the soil. He is the last place in the world, just a small urn under a cement stone tablet. My family buried my grandfather and my grandmother who died in 13. When writing these words, I remember that my grandfather always wiped the sacrificial frames of my great-grandfather, great-grandmother and grandmother before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, and looked at them with ecstasy. But now, he is buried deep underground. Who will wipe his brand-new sacrificial frame? I'll never know anything about my grandfather again. Will his left leg, which was disabled on business in his early years, suffer from rheumatism? The grave should be a wet and cold place, right? I can't stand the thought of it. There is a cruel saying: "We will die for a long time". When Lotte wrote this poem, it was not because there were no friends around him, nor was it because enemies flooded. Rafat once said, "People who have neither friends nor enemies are ordinary people." . Lotte happens to be not an ordinary person. He has many friends in his life, such as Li Shangyin, whom he will never forget. It is precisely because of this that after nine years, Lotte's yearning for friends is even more precious!
"Han Weilang went to the next time, but he was ignorant at night." awei was Yuan Zhen's youngest son and son-in-law. They are all dead, and the graves are dark. Can you know this? Lotte, who has lived for a long time, witnessed the departure of his younger generation. On the one hand, the living want to know the situation of the dead, on the other hand, the living always pray for the dead with new things in the world, even though they know it is futile, they still have this hope. There is a saying in Nineteen Ancient Poems: "Those who leave will be sparse, and those who come will be close." What a sad heart it is for Lotte to see that the dead have been gone for several years and those who have come have become dead!
It is enough to have a bosom friend in life, so we should put ourselves in the other's shoes! After a little dream, I tasted that there is a real feeling in this world-caring for each other!
Finally, I believe everyone is familiar with the author Bai Juyi. The following is the author's brief introduction:
Bai Juyi (772-846), a native of Xinzheng, Henan Province, was born in Taiyuan, Lotte, Xiangshan, and drunk. He was a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty and one of the three great poets in the Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen * * * advocated the new Yuefu movement, and together with Liu Yuxi, they called the world "Bai Yuan" and "Bai Liu". Bai Juyi's poems have a wide range of themes, various forms and simple and popular language, and are known as "the poet's magic" and "the king of poets". Official to Hanlin bachelor, Zuo Zanshan doctor. In 846 AD, Bai Juyi died in Luoyang and was buried in Xiangshan. Up to now, there are Bai's "Changqing Collection", and the representative works include Song of Eternal Sorrow, Charcoal Man, Pipa Travel and so on.
