< p> Although the Tang Dynasty is far away from us in time and space, Tang poetry and Liu Yuxi are very close to us. Opening the classics, we will feel that the good news of the Tang Dynasty is rushing across the desolate wilderness and narrow valleys. The sound of culture striking us suddenly enlightens us to the true meaning of life: culture is a symphony that lasts for thousands of years. Reading Liu Yuxi's "Autumn Poems" will bring students inner spiritual pleasure and improvement of their rational spiritual level.The last two poems of Liu Yuxi's "Autumn Poems" show that Liu Yuxi insisted on the ideal of reforming society throughout his life, despised and ridiculed the powerful people who clung to the dragon and the phoenix, and was suppressed and denounced by the powerful. Liu Yuxi had a rough life, but he was also strong-minded and ambitious, and never compromised or surrendered. He left a glorious mark not only with his actions, but also with his poetry. With admiration and worship for the poet, now we will appreciate his "Autumn Poems".
Autumn Poems
Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring.
A crane lining the clouds in the clear sky brings poetry to the blue sky.
This poem was written when Liu Yuxi was demoted to Langzhou. The period "since ancient times" is full of sadness in autumn, and it is the same in ancient and modern times. There are thoughts that last for thousands of years, and the vision reaches thousands of miles. The sentence "I say" is broken with a loud shout that silences Xingyun, subverting the theme of sad autumn and refreshing the ears and ears of the world. The two lines of "clear sky" outline a magnificent autumn scene: we saw, in the high blue sky, a white crane soared into the sky, soaring straight into the sky, which attracted my poetic thoughts to the sky. How can we not be surprised and excited to witness this scene? The integration of poetry and painting is a vivid illustration of "autumn is better than spring". The flying scenery and light brushwork can easily arouse readers' associations. The whole poem has the beauty of expressing one's feelings directly without any hint of "insufficiency of implicitness". Naturally, the poet's suppression of spring and promotion of autumn does not mean that he has any prejudice against the "Spring Dynasty". From this, we can touch the poet's heroic and broad mind.
In order to get rid of the "sad autumn" mentality, the poet deliberately made a distinction between "spring" and "autumn". Let's look at the second poem:
The mountains are clear and the water is clean, and the evening fragrance is there. , several trees are dark red and light yellow.
Try going up to a high-rise building and you will be so clear to the bones, but you will not know that the spring scenery can make people crazy.
People here still combine lyricism, scene description, and discussion. The red and yellow maple leaves all over the mountain are a clever embellishment and vivid complement to the autumn landscape painted in the first poem. If the previous poem mainly focused on high altitude, this poem mainly focuses on the ground. Climbing the stairs in autumn and letting the fresh air slowly penetrate into the muscles and bones can make people sober and rational, while the brilliant spring scenery can only make people drunk and frivolous. In this way, why should we be "sad" when "autumn" comes? The sonorous and powerful singing "How can the beauty of spring drive people crazy" reveals to us the poet's broad-minded and optimistic attitude towards life and his feelings of not being afraid of "decline".
The poet deeply understands that the essence of autumn sadness in ancient times is that people with lofty ideals lose their ambition, are disappointed with reality, and are pessimistic about the future. Therefore, when they see depression in autumn, they feel lonely and lifeless. The poet sympathized with their experience and situation, but said that autumn is better than spring when all things sprout and thrive, emphasizing that autumn is not lifeless, but very lively. He guided people to look at the crane with its wings fluttering high, pushing away the clouds in the clear autumn sky, looking vigorous and vigorous, working hard and displaying its ambitions. Obviously, this crane is unique and alone. But it is the tenacious struggle of this crane that breaks through the chilling atmosphere of autumn and gives nature a new look, which invigorates the spirit of the patriots. This crane is the embodiment of an unyielding man and the embodiment of the spirit of struggle. Therefore, the poet said, "It leads the poetic sentiment to the blue sky."
The two poems "Autumn Poems" have the same main body, but each has one side. The first one praises the autumn atmosphere, the second one chants the autumn colors, the atmosphere is used to inspire, and the color is used to cultivate emotions. Therefore, praising the autumn air expresses beautiful aspirations, and chanting autumn colors expresses the innocence of sentiment. Scenery changes with people, and color changes with emotion. Scenery is like makeup, showing temperament and character. The spring scenery pleases with its beauty, and the autumn wind is known for its strong character. The first two sentences of the second poem describe the autumn scenery. The poet just outlines its true colors and shows its characteristics. It is bright and pure, with red and yellow, and the slight color reveals an elegant and leisurely charm, as calm as a gentle gentleman's demeanor. , awe-inspiring. If you don't believe it, try to look up from a high building and you will feel crystal clear to your bones, your thoughts will be clear, and your mood will be solemn and deep. It will not be as frivolous as the bustling and rich spring scenery. The whole poem uses anthropomorphic techniques, vivid images, and clever use. Therefore, they can arouse people's imagination, images and profound artistic beauty. Liu Yuxi's two poems give people not only the vitality and plain colors of autumn, but also arouse people's heroic spirit and noble sentiments in fighting for their ideals, gaining profound recognition. Beauty and fun.
Here it is necessary to briefly summarize Liu Yuxi’s poetic achievements and main contributions, which mainly include three aspects: [1] expansion and exploration of subject areas; [2] deepening and counterattack of traditional themes; [3] 〕The transformation and improvement of poetry style. At the same time, he often borrowed the needles of the ancients to prick the chronic diseases of the present; he conquered the rise and fall of previous generations to show lessons from the near future.
In this way, his exploration of the subject matter was deeper than that of his predecessors. He not only expanded the narrative function of chanting things, but also created a new allegorical form, which also made his poetry profound.
