Ancient poems expressing loneliness
1. I have been frustrated all my life and today, no one in the world is watching the sunset. (Chen Yinke)
Mr. Chen Yinke has always insisted on "free thoughts and independent souls" throughout his life. He does not cater to the world or please the powerful. He has always been independent and self-cultivated, so he is often lonely in his heart. This kind of loneliness is caused by the hustle and bustle of the world but my inner peace, the intoxication of the public but my sober consciousness. Therefore, throughout his life, he was often lonely because he was unique and outstanding. He wrote a poem "Remembering My Former Home" to show this kind of loneliness:
The faint sound of bells sounds in the distance, and the shadow of Yiyilin is hidden in ten thousand crows. A lifetime of frustration led to today, and no one in the world looked at the setting sun. The broken mountains and rivers welcome victory, and the remaining years are desolate. In what year did Songju and Songmen dream, and they recognized a foreign country as their hometown.
This poem can be said to express loneliness and sadness. "A lifetime of frustration leads to today, and no one in the world looks at the setting sun" is an eternal song that sings about loneliness and sadness.
2. The spring waves under the sad bridge were green, and it was once the shadow of a startled grand. (Lu You)
This was written by Lu You when he revisited Shen Garden in his later years and recalled the love he had with his cousin Tang Wan. The earth has returned to spring, the rivers have turned green, and it is another great time of year. I think back then, my sweetheart was like a shadow in the shadow of a sudden wave, leaving wonderful memories on this bridge and on this piece of water. Nowadays, only the poet has visited this old place again. His inner loneliness and emotional desolation are vividly displayed, making it extremely sad to read.
3. Dance low to the moon in the heart of the willow tower, and sing to the wind under the peach blossom fan. (Yan Jidao)
The singing girls danced gracefully until the moon was full on the west tower, and the fans stopped and the wind stopped. On the surface it is very lively, fun, even a little carnival. But, as the saying goes, the excitement belongs to others and I have nothing. The more lively the surface is, the more it can set off the poet's inner loneliness. Behind the crazy singing and dancing, there is the poet's infinite loneliness and loneliness. This contrast is often shown in poetry. These two sentences by Yan Jidao are among the best and are also famous throughout the ages.
4. Now I am haggard, my hair is covered with frost, and I am afraid of going out at night. It's better to go under the curtain and listen to people's laughter. (Li Qingzhao)
From Li Qingzhao's "Yong Yu Le", the full words are as follows:
The setting sun melts gold, the dusk clouds merge, and where are the people. The willows are dyed with thick smoke, and the plum flute is played with resentment, and I know how much spring is coming. During the Lantern Festival, the weather is harmonious and there is no wind or rain. Come to greet him, bring him a car and a BMW, and thank him for his wine, friends, and poets.
It is a prosperous day in Zhongzhou, and there is a lot of free time for the boudoir, so remember to focus on the three or five. Paved with emerald green crowns, twisted with golden snow willows, and clustered with ribbons to support Chu. Now I am haggard, my hair is covered with frost, and I am afraid of going out at night. It's better to go under the curtain and listen to people's laughter.
In this poem, the first film describes the lively atmosphere of the Lantern Festival today. At the beginning of the second film, the time lens is zoomed out, recalling the bustling scene of the Lantern Festival in my hometown back then. In the past, when there was prosperity and liveliness, I was young and young; now, when the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, I am also old. The comparison between the past and the present is infinitely sad. "Now I am haggard, my hair is wet with frost, and I am afraid of going out at night. It is better to go under the curtain and listen to people's laughter." This describes Li Qingzhao's loneliness and desolation in the past, which is infinitely sad to read.
