Lu you's poems
Lu You has many literary talents, especially his achievements in poetry. He claimed to have written more than 9,300 poems in 60 years, which can be roughly divided into three periods: before he entered Shu at the age of 46, he tended to be in the form of words; The period from entering Shu to retiring at the age of 64 is the mature period of his poetry creation, and it is also a period of great changes in his poetry style. He changed from "algae painting" in his early years to pursuing unrestrained style, full of fighting atmosphere and patriotic passion; After living in his hometown of Yin Shan in his later years, his poetic style tends to be simple and plain, showing an idyllic flavor, and from time to time revealing desolate life feelings.
1, poetry content
Lu You's poems cover a wide range, involving almost every field of social life in the early Southern Song Dynasty, which can be roughly divided into four aspects according to the content:
(1) Persist in resisting gold and crusade against capitulationists. Lu You bluntly said that "it is not a long-term policy to hide one's relatives from each other since ancient times", "It is the most harmful thing to be born to hide one's relatives from each other, and the golden rooster group was defeated by Hu Qiang in his later years", and revealed that "the governors still kept the policy of hiding one's relatives from each other, and people with lofty ideals gave up their youth in vain". His Yuefu poem "Guan Shanyue" highly summarized the contradiction between the upper rulers and the soldiers on the frontier and the people in the occupied areas in the main battle and theme, and revealed the serious consequences caused by the compromise peace policy of the ruling clique in the Southern Song Lu You's poems, with their distinctive combativeness and pertinence, inspired people's fighting spirit against gold and won the praise of people with lofty ideals.
(2) Express impassioned enthusiasm for serving the country and the grief and indignation of unpaid ambition. When Lu You was young, he took it as his duty to serve the country generously, and his first purpose in life was to destroy the invading enemy and recover the occupied land, but his ideal of resisting the enemy was frustrated repeatedly. Therefore, a large number of his poems not only show high fighting spirit, but also pour deep grief and indignation. For example, in the poem "Book Wrath", the poet is bent on serving the country, and his ambition is hard to be rewarded. His high-spirited, majestic, full of desolation and sadness is not only the epitome of the poet's personal experience, but also the epitome of the national destiny, and is a typical representative of this kind of works.
③ Describe rural scenery and daily life. Lu You loves life and is good at discovering poetry from various life scenes. Whether it's mountains, rivers, plants, insects and fish, whether it's ordinary life in the countryside or leisure in the study, "every grass, tree, fish and bird are cut into poems." The poem "Shanxi Village Tour" is vivid in scenery description and contains philosophy. Among them, "there is no road to doubt when mountains are heavy and waters are heavy, and there is another village in the dark" has become a widely circulated famous sentence. His Spring Rain in Lin 'an describes the spring in the south of the Yangtze River. Writing is a virtual scene, exquisite and beautiful, meaningful.
④ Love poems. Due to the restriction of Neo-Confucianism on the thoughts and feelings of Song scholars and the development of Song ci, the lyric function of Song poetry gradually weakened, and the love poems in Song Dynasty could not be compared with Tang poetry in quantity and quality, but Lu You was an exception. When Lu You was young, he had an unforgettable emotional experience with his ex-wife. His poems in memory of his ex-wife are sincere and touching. The two poems written by Shen Yuan in his later years are called "Unequal Sadness Poems" by later generations, which are rare masterpieces in ancient love poems.
