The scholar only used to the barbarian house comes from "The Three Poems of Sacrifice to Uncle Yan in front of Kaiyuan Palace on the Summer Solstice" written by Wei Liaoweng in the Song Dynasty. Wei Liaoweng (1178-1237) was a scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty. His courtesy name was Huafu and his nickname was Heshan. He was a native of Pujiang, Qiongzhou (now part of Sichuan). In the fifth year of Qingyuan (1199), he became a Jinshi. He became a bachelor in Duanming Palace.
He died in the first year of Jiaxi (1237) at the age of sixty. He was given the posthumous title Wenjing and was given posthumously to the Duke of Qin. It opposes the saying of "no desires" by the Buddha and the Elders, and believes that the sages only said "few desires" but not "no desires", and pointed out that "emptiness is the harm of Tao".
Full poem: Scholars are only accustomed to living in savage houses, but who knows the provincial capital of Tantan. Who is my companion when I sit alone at dusk? The four cooks in Ziwei Pavilion write books. It means: Scholars are only accustomed to village houses, but who knows about Tantan provincial government residence. Who can accompany me when I sit alone at dusk? There are four kitchen books in Ziwei Pavilion.
Methods and techniques for learning ancient poetry well:
1. Combine the annotations to understand the creative background
For example, Yang Wanli's "Four Quatrains on First Entering the Huaihe River". If there is no annotation under the poem, we only think that it is a poem describing a scene. But with the annotations, we can judge that the poem is describing the scenery on the surface, but in fact it is expressing the author's pain and helplessness at the separation of the north and the south of the country, and the strong desire for national reunification and free exchanges through the description of the scenery.
2. Clear the symbolic meaning of the image
The images in classical poetry generally have fixed symbolic meanings. For example, pine and plum symbolize noble festivals; peony symbolizes wealth; willow symbolizes farewell and nostalgia, etc. . When poets use these images, they usually connect them with themselves to express their ambitions. In this way, based on their inherent symbolic meaning and combined with specific poems, the main idea is not difficult to understand.
3. Be good at discovering the "poetic eye"
In a poem, the poetic eye often reflects the emotional tone of the whole poem and shows the thoughts of the whole poem. It is the vocabulary in poetry that best embodies the spirit of things, expresses the poet's feelings, and has the strongest summary power. Appreciating poetry is to grasp the most refined and expressive words in the poem to taste it, and see its role in expanding the artistic conception of the poem and conveying the poet's emotions.
4. Use the structure of the poem to understand the content of the poem
Poems that touch the scene and evoke emotion often first have the scene and then the emotion; poems that use the scenery to express emotion usually have the emotion first and then the scene. Understanding the structure of poetry can help us understand its content faster and better.
