There are two types of poetry.
White horse is a genre. Although the writing is very imposing, it can't give readers more associations in content and emotion.
Nineteen ancient poems belong to another type. He left readers a rich space for free association, as if inviting readers to participate in his creation.
We must have different ways to appreciate different types of poetry. Be sure not to add what is not in the poem, but to dig out what is really contained in the poem as much as possible.
Nineteen Ancient Poems is associated because it describes some "basic patterns" of human feelings. Reminiscent of Ruan Ji's "Yong Huai" is because he hid the poet's unspeakable difficulties in the dark political background during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Ruan Ji's word Heizong was one of the main poets in Zhengshi era. Zhengshi was the title of Cao Fang, the deposed emperor of Wei. At that time, Sima had begun to gradually usurp the Cao Wei regime, on the one hand, actively wooing all the people in the world, on the other hand, carrying out cruel political persecution on those who refused to join them. Judging from his family background, Ruan Ji obviously refused to attach himself to Sima's family. However, he wanted to save his life, so he took an ambiguous attitude. He neither refused to be an official nor refused to be a real official. He usually pretends to be crazy by drinking and hides all his thoughts and feelings deeply in his heart.
Ruan Ji wrote more than 80 homesick poems. The ancients thought these poems were words from the eyes and ears, and their feelings were signs of famine.
One of "Yong Huai"
Can't sleep at night, sit up and play the piano.
Thin curtains look at the bright moon, and the breeze blows on the chest.
Lonely in the wild, birds are singing in Beilin.
What will you see when you walk? Worry and be sad alone.
To annotate ...
Can't sleep at night, sit up and play the piano: these two sentences are translated from RoyceWong's poem "Seven Wounded Poems": "A person can't sleep at night, take clothes and play the piano." It means that I can't sleep in the middle of the night because of sadness, so I get up and play the piano. Night, night, midnight.
The thin curtains reveal the bright moon: the bright moon shines through the thin curtains. Thin curtains, thin curtains. Take a look.
Gu Hong: The Wild Goose in the Group.
No.: Singing and wailing.
Flying birds: Birds that fly and hover. Birds fly at night because of the bright moon.
Forest of Steles: The Book of Songs Qin Feng Morning Wind: You are the morning wind, and you are depressed in the forest of steles. If you don't see a gentleman, you are worried about Qin Qin. Anyway, forget me a lot! " Later generations often use the word "forest of steles" to express sadness.

Because I was sad and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, I got up and played the piano.
The bright moonlight shone through the thin curtains, and the breeze blew my skirt.
Lonely red cries in the wild, and flying birds sing in Beilin.
What do you see when you wander around? Just a person sad.
Can't sleep at night, sit up and play the piano. A very common sentence, but the feelings contained in it are by no means so simple literally.
So the stars were not last night. Who did the wind and dew stand for in the middle of the night? The emphasis here is "for whom"? I can't sleep at night, there must be his reasons, maybe I'm thinking about someone or something. Although Ruan Ji doesn't talk about current events and doesn't hide anything, he doesn't have his own views on current events and people.
Sometimes he goes out in a carriage, but he can't help running around the roadside. He ran to the place where there was no way out and came back crying. This is not madness, but an outlet. A person will do this only when he is extremely contradictory, painful and lonely.
Playing the piano is another way to vent. Playing the piano in the middle of the night without a bosom friend adds an unbearable loneliness. When I say I can't sleep, I don't want to sleep, but I want to sleep.
Ruan Ji's will to help the world has become a despair of reality. Geng Jie's character can't bear injustice and the pain of survival. Ruan Ji's heart contains so many sorrows and contradictions, none of which can be said publicly, so he can only use "can't sleep at night, sit up and play the piano" as a vague hint.
Precautions:
Reading the poems during this period has begun to have a gloomy color, either war, talent or avoiding disaster. ...
It seems that reading poetry is reading the history of the development of human thought.
When reading The Book of Songs, spring is so beautiful. When writing about men's pursuit and women's resentment, the feelings of characters are always at the level of life. I feel so happy and relaxed!
Read Chu Ci, nineteen ancient poems, Jian 'an poems, and now Ruan Ji. ...
I feel that this society is becoming more and more chaotic, people's hearts are becoming more and more complicated, and they are beginning to compete for fame and fortune. The purity and clarity of the past no longer exist.
However, what we can see is that there is a bright moonlight in the hearts of poets. They used their own poems to resist this dirty society. Although it doesn't play much role, it is precisely because of these marks of personality that future generations have a firm dependence on their own personality.
Ruan Ji lives in a political dilemma-he is so talented that everyone has to win him over. He can't be unknown, nor can he just devote himself to one side. It's hard for him. A lot of things can't be said to others, but you can only drink and pretend to be crazy during the day and play the piano at night. How helpless such a day is! !
Now I understand why many powerful people in ancient times chose to live in seclusion in the mountains. In fact, it's not that they don't want to display their ambitions, but that society is too chaotic. Choosing to live in seclusion in the mountains and preserve our sanity is a better way of life.
Just live happily. There is no distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter in society.
I put myself in Ruan Ji's shoes for a while. I really can't help it. Playing the fool by drinking is more harmful to your health. Otherwise, you have to go home.
