Since ancient times, countless literati have drunk wine and composed poems. Reading poetry is reading history. China’s five thousand years of history is like a long scroll, full of sadness and strength.
"If a young man does not work hard, an old man will be sad." From the poem, we can feel the poet's majestic cry. From the poem, we can better understand the ancients' sincerity for the nation and the country. "Poetry is the expression of emotion." The poet's ambition and the poet's mind are beyond our reach. Only through reading can the younger generation have hope. Only when the younger generation has hope can China have hope for tomorrow. "You are the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. The world belongs to you and to us, but in the final analysis it belongs to you." Come on, the pillars of the country, come on, the proud son of heaven. Paying tribute to the ancients who respected the virtuous and corporal, we learned to respect our elders; paying tribute to those who failed to appreciate their talents, we learned to be strong. Paying tribute to the cold window of ten years, we understand that knowledge is power.
I still have to write something, come on 1 Since ancient times, countless literati have drunk and composed poems. Reading poetry is reading history. China’s five thousand years of history is like a long scroll, full of sadness and strength.
"If a young man does not work hard, an old man will be sad." From the poem, we can feel the poet's majestic cry. From the poem, we can better understand the sincerity of the ancients towards the nation and the country. "Poetry is the expression of emotion." The poet's ambition and the poet's mind are beyond our reach. Only through reading can the younger generation have hope. Only when the younger generation has hope can China have hope for tomorrow. "You are the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. The world belongs to you and to us, but in the final analysis it belongs to you." Come on, the pillars of the country, come on, the proud son of heaven. Paying tribute to the ancients who respected the virtuous and corporal, we learned to respect our elders; paying tribute to those who failed to appreciate their talents, we learned to be strong. Pay tribute to the cold window of ten years. I remember many years ago, when I was an ignorant young man, I used to like this song very much: "Yesterday was like the flowing water in the east. You and I can't stay if we are gone. Today disturbs my heart and makes me so worried." . The water flows even more when you cut off the knife, and the sorrow becomes even worse when you raise a cup. The breeze of the Ming Dynasty flows everywhere..."
I like this song, its elegance and lightness, and the lightness in it. of sorrow, and like the endless emotions of life it expresses.
2 Forgive me for being stupid. Although I often hummed it, it wasn’t until one day, after an elder prompted me, that I noticed: It turns out that this song was born out of a song by the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty, "Xuanzhou Xiezhenlou Farewell to School Secretary Shu Yun" 》. The original sentence is:
"Those who abandon me will not be able to stay in yesterday's day; those who mess up my heart will be troubled today. The long winds send autumn geese thousands of miles away, and you can enjoy this high-rise building. Penglai article builds peace of mind, In the middle, my hair is clear and I am full of joy. I want to go up to the blue sky and see the bright moon. The water flows even more when I cut off the knife. I am unhappy in this world, and the Ming Dynasty is like a boat."
This poem was written by Li Bai at the end of Tianbao period when he was in Xuanzhou (today's Xuancheng, Anhui Province) as a farewell to Li Yun, secretary of his clan uncle and provincial school secretary. The poem expresses the author's complaints about the difficulty of realizing his lifelong ambition. It is written very deeply and beautifully.
Contacting the poet's rough, miserable and wandering life, we can better appreciate his great benevolent heart and his proud heart that refuses to bow to social reality.
About Li Bai and Du Fu - these two figures who represent the two major development directions of traditional Chinese poetry. For this pair of friends who knew each other during their lifetimes but were forcibly opposed after their deaths, in the history of poetry For many years, the poetry world has been keeping silent about its status, which is more important. China has always had a dispute between promoting Li and suppressing Du, and promoting Du and suppressing Li. Later, in order to seek common ground while reserving differences, some people came out to smooth things over and regarded Li Bai and Du Fu as the two greatest peaks of traditional poetry. This finally calmed the public debate a little. However, in recent years, the voice of promoting Du and suppressing Li has reared its head again.
Actually, it’s not that these people don’t understand poetry, but they don’t understand Li Bai and his poetry.
Li Bai was born in the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty. He has had great ambitions since he was a child, and his talent has made him famous since he was young. On the twenty-fifth year of the year, he traveled westward to Chang'an with his sword, and scattered three hundred thousand gold. His reputation as a poet and hero spread all over the world. However, the talent has always been unrecognized. At the age of forty-two, he accepted the imperial edict and went to Chang'an on the recommendation of Princess Yuzhen and the Taoist priest Wu Yun. He hoped that he could realize his lifelong ambition, but Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty only gave him a sinecure as a member of the Imperial Academy and did not put him to great use. Because he was arrogant by nature and did not follow the powerful, he was slandered and "returned with money" within two years. He was originally full of passion and ambition, but now he has no hope of saving the world and his hope is shattered. From then on, he became even more dissolute, indulged in poetry and wine. But his desire to serve the country never dies. When he was in his sixties, he still wanted to do something, but he was implicated in the King Yong incident and almost got involved with Yelang. Until he became ill and died in a foreign country at the age of sixty-two. For a great poet like him, who is unprecedented and talented, to encounter such a situation can make the rivers stop flowing and the mountains move.
In the most lonely moment, he once "raised his head to look at the bright moon and lowered his head to miss his hometown." He once lamented that "the road is like the blue sky, and I can't get there alone." "Dust"; in the most depressed moment, he once "sold away the eternal sorrow with you", once "carried the waves and left with the prostitute", and once pursued "riding a two-horse dragon to fly into the sky"...
Many people think that Li's poetry is as artistic as Du's poetry, but its "ideological quality" is not as good as Du's poetry.
Therefore, for this reason, those who promote Li and suppress Du are afraid to speak out, because once they oppose Du's poetry, it means that they have low political and ideological awareness, are "unpatriotic", and "don't care about the national economy and people's livelihood."
But I want to say: Don’t sit still until your back aches while standing. With Li Bai's background and experience, as well as his personality and circumstances, no one can be free and unrestrained. Only by deeply understanding Li Bai's troubled life and deeply appreciating the thoughts and feelings expressed in his poems can we understand that just like his great wisdom is like foolishness and his great skill is like clumsiness, he is not unpatriotic (patriotic expressions can be expressed in various ways, including positive ones). (It is a kind of aggressiveness, being passive is a kind of helplessness), and his affection is thin but shows its thinness - he is truly a person who loves deeply but hates, and is public but selfish!
In addition to the negative elements, we should also pay attention to the fact that even after being given the gold and released, he always cared about Chang'an in his heart. He repeatedly mentioned Chang'an in many poems, and his heart was vividly written on the page. For example: "Visitors come from Chang'an and return to Chang'an. The strong wind blows my heart, and the Xianyang tree hangs in the west" ("Jinxiang Sends Wei Ba to Xijing"), "The clouds can always cover the sun, and the absence of Chang'an makes people sad" ( "Climbing the Phoenix Tower of Jinling") etc.
Even if he breaks down everywhere, he never gives up his pursuit, and sometimes expresses optimistically: "I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all the money I have spent" ("Jian Jin Jiu"), "There will be times when the wind and waves break, until the wind and waves break. Hanging clouds and sails to help the sea" ("The Difficulties in Traveling" Part 1) - His so-called "please enjoy a glass of wine before your death, why do you need a thousand years of fame after your death" is just a result of his long-term depression after being ostracized. The complaint!
