After believing in Buddhism in his later years, he lived in Zhong Nanshan Villa after attending the court. When Chu Guangxi was hiding in Zhong Nanshan, he was less than thirty years old, but he was also a scholar and worked as a few small officials. Did he also regard Cain as a "southern shortcut" to be an official?
So, why is Chu Guangxi's pastoral poetry full of joy? Let's first look at the poet's life experience and see if we can spy out the background of the poet's thoughts and feelings. Chu Guangxi was one of the famous pastoral poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Once entered the DPRK as an official, and the official supervised the empire. When An Lushan captured Chang 'an, he was falsely appointed. After the Anshi Rebellion, he was relegated and died in Lingnan. What kind of officer is the censor? -in charge of supervising officials, governors, correcting prisons and cleaning up courtiers.
The position is not high and the authority is great. However, if things go wrong, the punishment is extremely severe. As such an official position, people can imagine the danger and fear it brings. The danger and noise of officialdom may have made the poet tired, and the pursuit of wealth and petty profits by officialdom has made the poet despise and tired. Back to the countryside, the relaxation and leisure that can't be found in officialdom. The life in the officialdom is in sharp contrast with the life in the countryside. The poet's disdain for the common things in the officialdom and his feelings of leisure, peace and tranquility after returning home are integrated into the scenery.
Chu Guangxi's pastoral poems are full of joy, because his love for nature is heartfelt and sincere. Among all his poems, pastoral poems have the largest number and the greatest achievements. There are five well-written poems, You Mao Shan and Yu Wan. And "Fishing Bay" is the most popular, and the poem says: "Fishing in Green Bay is spring, and apricot blossoms are chaotic in spring. The pool is clear and shallow, and the lotus knows the fish are scattered. Sunset and other lovers, Victoria boat green Yang 'an. "
In Chu Guangxi's Eight Family Miscellanies (the second part), the poet wrote in the first four sentences: "Everyone is ashamed of being poor and humble, and they are still fertile. My feelings are strong and I like fishing. " Here, the poet contrasts the world of pursuing glory, shame and poverty with his frank and leisurely feelings. In the middle six sentences, I write my ambition of seclusion and the pleasure of fishing and hunting by line drawing: "The mountains are gloomy, so I will stay at home for the time being, plant sunflower and Hopkins all over the garden, and enclose trees in Sang Yu. Birds know that I am idle, and Ji Xiang depends on me. "
Here, the poet selected a series of images with pastoral characteristics and interest, such as mountains, rivers, Kuihuo, Sang Yu, birds and Nanshan. , forming an idyllic landscape painting, specifically describing the fun of pastoral life. The poet described the pastoral life in the poem with the beautiful language of prose culture: sometimes the mountains and rivers change, so he went home for a while. There is a garden full of sunflowers and epimedium at home, and mulberry trees and elms are born around the house. Birds know that I have nothing to do, so they fly in and gather in front of the house to accompany me. In poetry, "What do you like, what do you want, what do you represent" is straightforward, expressing your yearning for rural life. The whole poem is full of joy, the joy of rural life and the rich flavor of life!
