Shu Anger
Author: Lu You
At an early age, I knew that things were difficult, and the Central Plains looked to the north like a mountain.
The building boat crosses Guazhou in the snowy night, and the iron horse disperses in the strong autumn wind.
I walled the Great Wall and promised myself that it would be empty, but the fading hair on my temples was already stained in the mirror.
If you are a master and have a true reputation in the world, no one can compare with you in a thousand years.
The last sentence is a famous sentence
Appreciation: This poem was written when Chunlu visited his hometown of Shanyin in the thirteenth year of Chunxi (1186), Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty. Lu You was sixty-two years old at the time, which was obviously my age. However, the poet was deposed and could only stay idle in his hometown. He thought about the broken mountains and rivers, the Central Plains had not yet been conquered, and "there is no battlefield to serve the country if you want to die". I felt how difficult the world was. , the villain harmed the country and "the scholar had no place to serve alone", so the poet burst out with anger. "Book anger" means expressing the deep anger in one's heart.
"I knew at an early age that the world was difficult, and the Central Plains looked to the north like a mountain." When a hero has no place to use, he will return to the memory of the iron horse and the war. I think back then, when the poet looked north to the Central Plains, his ambition to regain the lost land was like a mountain surge, what a courage! Did the poet ever think that the road to killing the enemy and serving the country would be so difficult? I thought that I was selfless and devoted myself to serving the country, so the country would help me. Who would have expected that there would be traitors who would obstruct and sabotage me and lead to my repeated dismissal? The poet begins by asking himself, how much anger is there?
The two sentences "Lou Chuan" describe the Song soldiers' fight against the Jin soldiers' invasion in the southeast and northwest, and also summarize the poet's past travels. In November of the 31st year of Shaoxing reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty (1161), the gold lord Wanyan Liang invaded the south. The Song army refused to defend in the Guazhou area, and then the Jin army retreated. The previous sentence refers to this. In the eighth year of the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty (1172), Lu You was attending Wang Yan's military affairs in Nanzheng. The poet and Wang Yan actively planned to march into Chang'an. They once forcibly crossed the Weishui River and had an encounter with the Jin soldiers at Dashan Pass. The next sentence refers to this. The glorious past summarized in these two sentences is in sharp contrast to the present situation of "people who are willing to kill thieves are unable to recover". "In good times, I am afraid that I will regret it in another year, and at the critical moment, another autumn will come." Thinking that there is no chance of restoring the Central Plains today, what is the poet's heart like weeping blood? From a poetic perspective, these two poems also fully demonstrate Lu You's great poetic talent. The images of "building ship" (majestic warship) and "night snow", "iron horse" and "autumn wind" are combined, and there are two open and magnificent battlefield pictures. The selection of imagery is very clean and typical.
The sentence "Cover the Great Wall" is a metaphor used by the poet to express his ambition. Tan Daoji, a famous general of Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, once called himself the "Great Wall". The emperor wanted to kill him, so he said: "I will destroy your Great Wall." Lu You promised himself this, which shows how majestic he was when he was young. He defended the country and showed his prestige in the border areas. Who else could he do? However, what about today? The poet's anguish of unrealized ambitions all hangs over the word "empty". Ambition is in vain, struggle is in vain, everything is in vain, but when I look at myself in the mirror, I see the first spots on my temples, and my bright head! How sad it is to compare the two? Thinking about it again, this ending was not caused by my lack of ambition or my lack of efforts, but because of the villain who mistook me and the world that made me wear thin! I have the will, but God won’t let me. Sadness becomes anger.
Look at the last couplet again. Codes are also used to clarify aspirations. Zhuge persisted in the Northern Expedition. Although he "showed his true fame as an army", he eventually became famous all over the world, and "no one can compare with him in a thousand years." After thousands of years, who can compare with it? It is obvious that the poet used the allusion to denounce the mediocre people in the government and the public, indicating that his ambition to restore the Central Plains will also be "famous". The poet cannot find comfort in reality, so he has no choice but to put his soul thirsting for comfort into the future. This is naturally a helpless move. The poet had no choice but to vent his anger and frustration. Through Zhuge Liang's allusions, he admires the achievements of the sages, showing that his patriotic enthusiasm will never change, and he is eager to imitate Zhuge Liang and display his ambitions.
Looking back at the entire poem, we can see that every sentence is filled with anger and every word is filled with anger. Use anger as poetry, and poetry will be full of anger.
The whole poem is full of melancholy emotions and rich charm, which is obviously inspired by Du Fu. The two unions in China are committed to work steadily, especially the couplets "building boat" and "iron horse", which are majestic and heroic and are widely recited by people. Such poems come from his personal experience and are full of his feelings about political life. They are incomparable to those works that show off their talents and show off their talents.
