The poet naturally sighed with emotion: "Homesickness is empty. When I get to my hometown, I feel like a rotten ke." Use Xiang embroidery's homesickness and Wang's Ke as two allusions. It means that I have been away for 23 years, and now when I come back, many old friends have died. I can only recite Xiang embroidery's "Thinking of the Old" in vain to express my condolences.
Coming back is like a previous life, and it feels completely different. It's not the past anymore. This not only expressed dissatisfaction with the persecution of old friends by the rulers at that time, but also implied that he had been relegated for a long time and was unfamiliar and disappointed after the return, which was of great significance. Necklace couplets are compared to a sick tree sinking into a boat, which shows its open-minded attitude towards the changes of the world and the ups and downs of official career. At the same time, it implies philosophy, which indicates that new things will definitely replace old things, and it has been quoted ever since.
Original text:
See you at the first meal in Yangzhou.
Liu Yuxi in Tang Dynasty
The mountains were desolate and silent for twenty-three years.
People come back. Like people in Michelle, I can only play the flute, and I am disappointed.
On one side of the boat, Qian Fan races; At the head of the sick tree, every year is a spring shower.
Today, listen to you sing a song, drink a glass of wine and cheer up.
Translation:
Bashan, the desolate land of Chu River, 23 years of silent exile.
When I came back, things had changed. I am like a rotten person. I can only play the flute and write poems. I'm disappointed.
On the side of the sinking ship, Qian Fan competes; Before the sick tree, every spring.
Listen to your singing today and borrow a glass of wine to cheer up for a while.
Creative background:
Liu Yuxi and Bai Juyi appreciate each other. At the banquet, Bai Juyi wrote a poem "Drunken Gifts to Twenty-eight Ambassadors of Liu". Bai Juyi expressed his sympathy and grievance for Liu Yuxi's relegation in his poems. So Liu Yuxi wrote this song, "The First Meeting in Yangzhou Will Enjoy Lotte", and gave it back to Bai Juyi.
Comments:
This poem was written by Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, when he returned to Luoyang in the winter of the second year of Jing Zong (826) and passed through Yangzhou to meet Bai Juyi, who also returned to Luoyang after the rebellion in Suzhou. The couplet poem "Sinking Boat" suddenly appeared. Changing the sad and depressed mood in front, the couplet went down with the trend and wrote: "Listen to a song by Jun today, and rely on the spirit of a glass of wine for the time being." Point out the meaning of Bai Juyi's problem. I was deeply moved by your poem today, so let's entertain with wine for the time being! With the warm care of friends, rachel expressed his desire to cheer up and get back into life. Show perseverance. The ups and downs in poetry and the boldness in depression are excellent works in appreciating poetry.
