When looking at ancient poems, we cannot interpret the old words with today’s perspective. Therefore, when reading, we must always combine the before and after of the poem, the differences between ancient and modern times, the background of the poem, and the life of the author. Only in this way can we have both the literary scene and the poetic flavor. The whole text is transparent, so it is too one-sided to only interpret one sentence when reading a poem. We must learn to control the overall situation and follow the ancient meaning. Therefore, I still don’t agree with the interpretation based on words and sentences. I hope the poster can learn from it. .
This sentence comes from "Si Xuan Fu", which was written by Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It mainly expresses that because he was slandered by eunuchs, he often thought about things about himself, thinking that good and bad luck depended on him, and it was dim and difficult to understand. The author's situation at that time was very dangerous, which reflected the social situation at that time.
The complaints in the general article are all based on the high righteousness of oneself, the unclearness of the court, the difficulty of repaying one's faults, the difficulty of thinking freely, the lack of sympathy for oneself, and the unclear expression of pity for oneself.
Disadvantage to oneself: A lesson learned from ancient times: scholars worry too much about the country but do not repay it. A treacherous and sycophantic person is in power and cannot be thought of by the king. He laments what is said about worldly affairs!
