"Short songs" is an old topic in Han Yuefu, which belongs to "harmony and flat tone". Of course, this song "Short Song" originally had corresponding lyrics, that is, "Yuefu Ancient Ci", but this ancient ci has been lost. The earliest short line that can be seen now is Cao Cao's quasi-Yuefu short line. The so-called "quasi-Yuefu" is to make up new words with old Yuefu songs. There are two short songs written by Cao Cao, and here is the first one.
The theme of this short song is very clear, that is, the author hopes to have a large number of talents for his own use. In his political activities, in order to expand his ruling base among civilian landlords and crack down on reactionary hereditary forces, Cao Cao once strongly emphasized that "meritocracy means promotion", and for this reason, he successively promulgated the orders of seeking talents, promoting scholars and escaping. In fact, "short song" is a "song of seeking the virtuous", and it is precisely because it uses the form of poetry and contains rich lyrical elements that it can play a unique infectious role, effectively publicize his persistence and cooperate with his decrees.
"Short Song" originally had "six interpretations" (that is, six paragraphs), and now we divide it into four paragraphs according to the poem.
Calling for Song one after another, how many days do we have? For example, morning dew is much more difficult to go to Japan. Be generous and unforgettable. Du Kang is the only one who can solve the problem.
In these eight sentences, the author emphasizes that he is very worried and extremely worried. So what's there to worry about? It turns out that he can't get many "talents" to cooperate with him and make contributions together. Imagine that even powerful people like Cao Cao are worried about "seeking talents" there, and how much publicity effect it will have. If there are really "talents" among the landlords in Buyi, we can't help being moved and encouraged by these words. They are trying to find a way out. They didn't expect Cao Cao to be eager for talents there, so many people who are really talented or think they are talented are likely to be eager to "return" to him. "What is life for drinking wine?" At first glance, it looks like the negative tone in Nineteen Ancient Poems, but it is quite different. Admittedly, this is Cao Cao's sigh about the short life, but he is not afraid of death, because time is fleeting. Throughout the whole article, he lamented the frequent wars and the failure of the great cause, thus creating a sense of urgency for time. As he himself said, "If you don't care about the future, you will die worrying about the world" (Cao Cao's Autumn Hu Xing), so his lament about "the geometry of life" is not weak and depressed. Wei Yuan put it well: "When singing wine, there is a storm." On the surface, Cao Cao is expressing his personal feelings. He is worried that time will pass too fast and he may not have time to make a difference. In fact, it is imperceptibly infecting the vast number of "talented people", reminding them that life is as easy to disappear as "morning dew" and the years have passed a lot. You have to make up your mind and come to me to show your ambition. Therefore, once analyzed, it is not difficult to see that the rich lyrical atmosphere in the poem contains quite strong political purposes. Such a positive purpose and deliberately use a low tone to start, which of course shows that Cao Cao really has his melancholy thoughts, so he speaks the truth; But on the other hand, it is precisely because of this tone that we can open the hearts of people at the lower level who have experienced many difficulties and are eager to find a way out. Therefore, the intention and wording are true and ingenious. In these eight poems, the main emotional feature is the word "sorrow", which needs to be overcome by wine ("Du Kang" is said to be the first person to make wine, so his name is used instead of wine here). The emotion of "worry" itself cannot be evaluated, only the objective content of this emotion can be evaluated, that is, what is "worry". Worrying because of selfishness, decadence and even reaction is a negative emotion; On the contrary, worrying about the purpose of some progress becomes a positive emotion. Looking at the specific historical background, the melancholy expressed by Cao Cao here belongs to the latter and should be properly evaluated in history. Chen Ling, a Qing man, said in the poem Bi Xing Jian: "The purpose of this poem is to think about the brave in Gao Han Dafeng Pavilion. The origin of' life geometry' is said that the so-called ancient king knew that his life span was not long, so he made sages as heirs. " This can be said to basically understand the meaning of Cao Cao's worry; However, the so-called "building sages to pass on their descendants" is a bit far-fetched. Cao Cao was considering ending the war and unifying China with his own life. There are similarities and differences between Han Gaozu and Han Gaozu in singing "Da Feng Ge".
Qingqing is your collar, YY is my miss. But for your sake, Shen Yin has come a long way. Yo yo Luming Literature, Wild Ping. I have a group of good guests, playing the piano and playing the piano.
These eight sentences are even more lingering. The phrase "Qingqing" comes from The Book of Songs Zheng Feng Zi Jin. The original poem is about a girl who misses her lover. The four sentences in the first chapter are: "Qingqing Zi Jin, carefree in my heart. Even if I don't go, I'd rather not send a message? " Your green collar bothers me deeply. Although I can't come to you, why don't you take the initiative to leave me a message? ) Cao Cao quotes this poem here, saying that he has been reciting it in a low voice, which is really ingenious. He said that "a girl in green is lingering in my heart", which is of course a direct metaphor for missing "talented people"; But more importantly, he omitted two sentences: "Even if I don't go, I'd rather not send a message?" Because it is impossible for Cao Cao to look for those "talents" one by one, he reminded them in this subtle way: "Even if I don't look for you, why don't you take the initiative to look for me?" From this implicit meaning, we can see that his intention of "seeking the virtuous" is indeed thoughtful and has touching power. And this touching power embodies the combination of politics and artistic creation. Of course, his profound and subtle intentions can't be fully expressed in the literature such as "Asking for a Scholar". As a poem, short songs can express feelings that political literature can't express and play a role that political literature can't. Then he quoted four sentences from The Book of Songs Xiaoya Luming Literature to describe the scene of the banquet, meaning that as long as you come to me, I will definitely stay as a "guest" and we will get along well and cooperate harmoniously. These eight sentences still don't clearly say the word "seeking the virtuous", because Cao Cao writes poems, so he uses allusions as metaphors, which is the performance of "being gentle, respectful and frugal". At the same time, the word "Jun" is also typical in Cao Cao's poems. Originally in the Book of Songs, this "gentleman" only refers to a specific person; Here, it has a wide range of significance: all the "wise men" who read Cao Cao's poem at that time could think that he was the object of Zi Jin's memory. It is precisely because of this that this poem will play a huge social role if it is circulated. Cao Cao issued a heartfelt call to talented people in the world: "The mountain will never be too high and the sea will never be too deep. Duke Zhou vomited, and the world returned to the heart. " It is said that he has a broad political mind and an inexhaustible heart for knowledge and wisdom, just as the sea is more than a trickle, and the mountain does not abandon the stone. Moreover, he also encouraged corporal Duke Zhou to call on all the talents in the world to come back and create a good situation of "returning to the world". These four poems are magnificent and full of emotion, showing the ambition and enterprising spirit of unifying the world. Of all the poets through the ages, only Cao Cao, a man of great talent and arrogance, can write, and only he can match. Up to now, I still feel heroic.
As clear as the bright moon, when can I forget it? The troubles come from this and cannot be cut off. The weirder, the more useless. Talk about the banquet and miss the old grace.
These eight sentences are the focus and care of the above sixteen sentences. The above sixteen sentences mainly have two meanings, that is, worrying about seeking the virtuous and treating the virtuous with courtesy. If compared with music, these can be said to be two "theme melodies" in the whole poem, and the eight sentences of "Clear as the Moon" are the reappearance and variation of these two "theme melodies". The first four sentences are about sadness, not the first eight; The last four sentences are about the arrival of "talents". These are the last eight sentences. On the surface, the meaning is repeated by the first sixteen sentences, but in fact, due to the reproduction and variation of the "theme melody", the whole poem is more restrained and chanting, which strengthens the concentration of lyric. Judging from the literary theme of expressing poetry, these eight sentences are not simple repetitions, but contain profound meanings. In other words, "talents" have come a lot, and we have cooperated very well; However, I am not satisfied. I'm still worried about talent, and I hope more "talents" will come. The bright moon in the sky is always running and will never stop ("stop" means "stop" and "short song played by Jin Yue" means "stop"); In the same way, my idea of seeking the virtuous will not be cut off. This is also a thoughtful expression, because Cao Cao is constantly recruiting talents, so will the latecomers worry about "overcrowding"? Therefore, Cao Cao further said here that his heart of seeking wisdom will not end like the bright moon, and people will have no worries, and they will be given preferential treatment early and late. On this point, the author will make it more clear below. It is just a connecting link and plays a transitional and buffering role.
There are few stars in the moon, and blackbirds fly south and circle the tree three times. What branches can you rely on? The mountain is not too high, the sea is not too deep, the duke of Zhou vomits, and the world returns to the heart.
"Moonlight" is not only an accurate and vivid description of the scenery, but also a metaphor. Shen Deqian, a poet in A Qing, said in The Source of Ancient Poetry: "There are few stars in the moon, and there is no one to rely on for strange talents." This shows that he saw that these four sentences are metaphors, but that "guest" is vague; In fact, this refers to those who are hesitant, and they are at a loss in the situation of the Three Kingdoms. Therefore, Cao Cao used the scene of blackbirds circling trees and "with what branches" to motivate them. Don't be half-hearted, be good at choosing branches and live, and come to your side quickly These four poems vividly describe the situation and mood of the hesitators, but the author not only does not accuse them at all, but reveals his concern and sympathy for these people in his rich poems. This just shows that Cao Cao is good at ideological work and he attracts and strives for talents with a reasonable attitude. And a feeling like this also gives full play to the unique infection effect of poetry. The last four sentences are the finishing touch, and I hope that all people will come to me and clearly understand the theme of this poem. The allusion of "Duke Zhou vomited food" comes from "History of Han Poetry". According to legend, Duke Zhou said, "The son of King Wen of our country, his brother, and uncle of King Cheng; I am also in the world, and I am not a light in the world. However, if you hold it for three times and vomit for three times, you still fear losing the people of the world. " In order to receive the people all over the world, Duke Zhou sometimes washed his hair and ate a meal, which was interrupted several times. This legend is of course too exaggerated. However, this allusion is used here to highlight the author's thirst for talents. The phrase "the mountain will never be too high and the sea will never be too deep" also convincingly shows that the more talents, the better, and there will never be a sea of people. So Chen Ling said, "Birds choose wood. Can wood choose birds? Three points in the world. Scholars either go north or go south. When we left for Shu and Wu, the emperor had not decided yet. If you don't spit and feed the festival, why come? Mountains never tire of soil, so they can become high; The sea never tires of water, so it can become deep; You are not tired of being a scholar, and the world is returning to the heart. " These words are very helpful to explain the background, theme and the meaning of the last few sentences of this poem.
Readers may ask: How can Cao Cao, a traitor in the world, have such a loving mind and courtesy? In all fairness, Cao Cao in history was an ideologically liberated reformer. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ousted a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, which caused the rigidity of cultural thought in the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhongshu even advocated the divination theory combining Confucianism with theology. Cao Cao boldly doubted and publicly denied traditional concepts such as theological superstition and feudal ethics. As far as employing people is concerned, the Han Dynasty used classics and benevolence and filial piety to select scholars, while Cao Cao put forward that "meritocracy is the best" and valued those who were "heartless and unfilial, but had the skill of governing the country and using troops". He argued plausibly: "People who have husbands and careers may not be able to make progress, and those who are enterprising may not be able to do it. Are Chen Ping and Su Qin loyal? And Chen pingding hanye, Su Qin weak face. From this point of view, scholars are short, but mediocre talents can be abolished? " The reflection and the Ji of Emperor Wudi both quoted Shu Wei, saying that he "knows people well and observes them well, but it is difficult to imitate them.". He pulled himself out of the forbidden line and was complacent in his trip. He took Zhang Liao and Huang Xu into the country of subjugation and made meritorious deeds. " He "gathers martial arts outside and promotes literature inside", "leads a strong man to break the solid array during the day and gives a good family at night". There is a Chen Lin who is good at cursive writing. In his early years, he wrote an article for Yuan Shao, calling Cao Cao an "ugly eunuch" (Cao Cao was born in a eunuch family). Later, Yuan was defeated by Cao Cao, who said, "Qing once moved the book for the first time, but it was an orphan crime. Evil can stop him. Why is it superior to his father and ancestors? " Persuade to kill them, pity their talents, let bygones be bygones and reuse them. It can be seen that the above-mentioned poems of Cao Cao express his love for talents, and his feelings are true and in line with his character. In the article Talking about Cao Cao, Professor Chen Zizhan commented that Cao Cao's poems are "generous and sorrowful, and will never be out of tune". ..... His poetic style is just commensurate with his personality. Sincere words, not the only husband of later generations, the thief who steals the country and arrogates power, and deceives people with false words, are finally worthy of historical judges. This is also one of the secrets of his literary achievements. "
Generally speaking, short songs are the same as other poems of Cao Cao, such as Good, Drinking and Crying. , is a highly political poem, mainly serving the political line and policies and strategies implemented by Cao Cao at that time. However, its political content and significance are completely integrated into the rich lyrical artistic conception. The whole poem gives full play to the specialty of poetry creation, accurately and skillfully uses metaphor, and achieves the goal of combining reason with emotion and touching. In the era of Cao Cao, he was able to achieve the expected social effect according to the special laws of lyric poetry, and this kind of creative experience is obviously worth learning. At the same time, Cao Cao's emphasis on "meritocracy" was of certain progressive significance at that time, and his highly artistic performance with the theme of "seeking talents" should also be recognized by history.
