Original text:
The fiercer the snow, the stronger the integrity of the flower.
Outdated, self-consistent, drifting away, shame is more pity for Dong Jun.
If you get drunk and break a prune or two, you might as well eat peaches and plums on your own time.
Who is Wally's Spring Return?
Translation:
Snow is falling and the wind is whistling. Only Meihua dares to face the bleak life on the vast land and is proud of snow. The destruction of snow and wind can only make it stronger. "The best in flowers" is the poet's heartfelt admiration. What's more, it has no intention of fighting for spring. When the flowers bloom, it will never miss the branches, nor will it ask Dong Jun for mercy. The wind blows in Shui Han, and the strong men are gone forever. Sing a song and fly away, leaving spring on earth.
Lu you's literary achievements;
There are more than 9300 poems in his collection of poems. It can be roughly divided into three periods:
The first period was from adolescence to middle age (46 years old). There are only about 200 poems in this period, and the works are mainly in the form of words, which have not been enriched by life.
The second period was after he entered Shu, he abdicated at the age of 64 and returned to the East. After nearly 20 years, more than 2,400 poems have been preserved. This period is full of fighting spirit and patriotic passion, and it is also the mature period of his poetry creation.
The third period was a long-term seclusion in his hometown of Yin Shan until his death, also for 20 years, with nearly 6,500 existing poems. There is an idyllic flavor in the poem, which reveals a sense of desolation in life from time to time. "Poetry only works when no one loves it", which also expresses his state of mind and artistic realm at this time. In addition, in the poems of this period, there are also simple and practical creative styles.
In Lu You's poems in three periods, the fervent patriotism runs through, especially after he entered Shu in middle age, which is not only outstanding among contemporary poets, but also rare in the history of China literature. Lu You's poems can be said to have both styles, no matter they are classical, metrical and quatrains, they all have excellent works, among which seven verses are well written. In this respect, Lu You inherited the experience of predecessors and enriched his own creation at the same time, so some people say that he, Du Fu and Li Shangyin completed the "three changes" in the creation of the seven laws (Shu Wei's poem "A Bottle of Water"), and his seven laws were unparalleled at that time. In Lu You's "Seven Laws", the famous Zhang Jun's sentences are indeed overlapping, and everyone is reciting them, such as "Jiang Sheng's endless heroes hate and God's will is selfless" (Huangzhou); "Wan Li closes the river and sleeps alone, even the wind and rain fall in four mountains" ("Sleeping Man") and so on. These excellent works and sentences, either magnificent or fresh and picturesque, are both steady, vivid and not delicate to the works. In addition to the seven laws, Lu You's achievements in poetry creation should be regarded as quatrains. Although Lu You's poems present colorful styles, from the general creative tendency, they are mainly realistic. He inherited the fine tradition of Qu Yuan and other previous generations of poets to care about the country and the people, and made outstanding achievements based on his own era.
Many of Lu You's poems express his pride in resisting gold and killing the enemy and his hatred for the enemy and traitors. Their style is bold and unrestrained, gloomy and tragic, full of strong patriotic passion, and they have made outstanding achievements in thought and art. They were known as "Little Li Bai" before their death, and they not only became the leaders of the Southern Song Dynasty, but also enjoyed a lofty position in the history of China literature. The amount of words is not as large as that of poems, but it runs through the patriotic spirit of swallowing the remnants like poems. Lu You's works include one volume of Song of Weng and two volumes of Weinan Ci. The Book of Southern Tang Dynasty and Notes of Old Learning Temple are 130 words in total. His famous sentences, such as "There is no way to answer doubts when mountains are heavy, and there is another village where flowers bloom in the dark" and "The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot flowers", are widely read by the people.
Lu You's masterpieces, such as Book Anger, Xiuer and Shanxi Village Trip, have been selected as Chinese textbooks for primary and middle school students, and they have frequently given questions in the college entrance examination (for example, National Curriculum Standard Volume 20 10).
word
Lu You is not only a poem, but also a long word. Because he doesn't pay much attention to this poetic style, there are not many words, only 130 * *. His words are also diverse in style and have their own characteristics. There are many beautiful and lingering words, which are close to the graceful school in Song Ci, such as the famous "Hairpin Phoenix". However, some words often express deep feelings about life, or express superb mind, such as "divination operator", "broken bridge outside the post", "double-headed lotus flower" and "stars on the temples", which are far or deep, or close to Su Shi. However, what best reflects Lu You's life experience and personality characteristics are his impassioned and patriotic poems, such as Han Palace, Carving Arrows and Bows, Xie Chichun, Joining the Army at a Strong Age, Confessing My Feelings, Finding a Time in Wanli Years, Visiting the Palace at Night and Snow in Qing Dynasty. This kind of words is close to Xin Qiji.
writing
Lu You also wrote many essays, which are quite accomplished. Among them, writing inscriptions, prefaces and postscripts, describing life experiences, expressing thoughts and feelings, or writing poems can best reflect the achievements of Lu You's prose. At the same time, he also shows patriotic feelings from time to time in his poems, such as Jing Zhen Tang's Collection, Tong Hugh's Collection and Shu Wei Qiao's Family.
