On the Image Beauty of Cao Cao's Short Songs
Some people think that Cao Cao's "Short Songs" expresses a negative concept similar to "Nineteen Ancient Poems" that "life is too short to eat, drink and be merry in time". In Qing Dynasty, Zhang Yugu said, "This sigh is fleeting. If you want talents, you should write Wang Yeshi early." 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. " The author agrees with the latter two theories, and the whole Short Song embodies a vigorous beauty.
Among Si Kongtu's twenty-four poems, "vigorous" ranks first and belongs to the magnificent category. "There is a lot to be done outside, and the real body is complete. Anti-virtual into muddy, accumulate health for the male. Have everything, travel through space. Wild oil clouds, less Changfeng. Besides the image, you got the ring. If it is not strong, it will come endlessly. "
Fibula, originally refers to the calf, is good at flexion and extension, which refers to the infinite posture of the universe itself. The so-called "true body" is the body of the Tao that conforms to the Tao of nature. The first two sentences of "vigorous" mean: everything changes endlessly, and everything is real and unforgettable, which is the result of real physique. The second sentence is about how to achieve the majestic realm. "Emptiness" is the characteristic of the Tao of Nature. "Heaven" says: "The husband is empty, quiet and lonely, and everything is based." Virtual, including all things, is higher than all things. Only by reaching emptiness can we enter the muddy realm. "Hun" is the state of being natural and the way of nature. The word "health" in "keeping fit" has the same meaning as the word "health" in "good health", that is, essential health. Bear: Just also, big also, the biggest also just said. The meaning of this sentence is to keep moving like the universe itself, cycle by cycle, accumulate over time, nourish the inner "health" of nature and rise to a vigorous spirit. The last two sentences say that the unrestrained beauty comes from the universe itself and is generated internally. This kind of beauty can be inclusive and exists in all time and space. The phrase "famine" uses an image criticism method: it is like the wind and cloud that permeates the vast universe, free and wandering, born without trace, magnificent and without a trace. The last four sentences summarize the characteristics of "vigorous" poetry creation. The "ring" is the hole in the upper and lower beams of the door, and it is also pivoted. In the ring, it is a metaphor for emptiness. These two sentences are to "return to emptiness", which can not be expressed by words and images, but can get the beauty of the ring. This creative realm of "boundless talent and endless supply" is not obtained reluctantly.
