Songhua wine making, spring water brewing tea, spring water blue in the sky, painting boats and sleeping in the rain, Li Ziqi’s kind of poetic life, is this the life you yearn for? It’s not just you and me, this is a life that even gods would envy!
These lives have actually been described thoroughly in Tang poetry and Song lyrics.
A few days ago, I went to Wangwushan to stay overnight with my sisters. We found a B&B where we could see the mountains surrounding us in front of our door. The mountain breeze was rustling for a while, and the heat suddenly subsided. After the meal, we each ordered a cup of tea. We sat on the lounge chairs and looked at the mountains and rivers at our feet. We just felt that the time was so beautiful. We wished we could stay like this forever and never go back to the city to drink the exhaust smog.
Sometimes, I am particularly envious of the ancients, especially the romantic literati like Li Bai who visited famous mountains and rivers and left poems everywhere. The mountains and rivers became spiritual in their writings, and they also recorded their high-spirited and wanton rivers and lakes.
The Lushan Waterfall in front of Li Bai is magnificent: "Purple smoke rises from the incense burner under the sun, and you can see the waterfall hanging in front of the river in the distance. It flows down three thousand feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen from the sky." The Tianmen Mountain in his painting is: "The green mountains on both sides of the strait come out facing each other, and the sun is approaching like a solitary sail." When he climbed up to the Yueyang Tower, the scenery in front of Li Bai was: "The geese lead away the sorrowful heart, and the mountains carry a good moon." And when he was sleepwalking in Tianmu, the picture he saw was It is even more fantasy-like: "The neon is the clothes, the wind is the horse, and the kings of the clouds are coming and falling one after another." It makes people yearn for it endlessly.
Nowadays, urban life has become a social development trend. It is difficult for many people to experience the leisure and unrestrainedness of pastoral landscapes, but this does not mean that we have no yearning for it. The popularity of Li Ziqi in recent years proves it. Got this. By shooting short videos, she shows the return to nature of farm life and her poetic aesthetic pursuit. She not only brings the pastoral charm to the audience, but also exports Chinese traditional culture to the world. She goes on horseback riding and takes flowers for food, which evokes people's emotions. Yearning for natural poetic life.
Let’s take a look at which of the following poems describe the life you long for?
1. "The spring water is as blue as the sky, and the painted boat listens to the rain and sleeps."
The water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful and graceful. The clear blue of the spring water is better than the blue sky. I quietly listen to the spring rain on the painted boat. Gradually falling asleep? This is the scene in "Bodhisattva Man" by Wei Zhuang, a poet from the Tang Dynasty. There are two sentences at the end: "The people beside me are like the moon, and my bright wrists are like frost and snow." The woman selling wine in the restaurant is as beautiful as the moon. She serves wine to the guests, her sleeves are rolled up, and her wrists are as white as frost and snow, as white as jade. .
Painted boats roam on the spring water, looking up you can see flowery women selling wine, and there are continuous spring rains to accompany you to sleep. This is the life that everyone yearns for.
2. "When the cigarettes are sold out and the sun rises, no one can be seen, but the mountains and rivers are green."
When the clouds and fog dissipate in the early morning, the sun rises from the east, and there is no sound or human beings around. But suddenly I heard a long cry from the fisherman, and it was as if the mountains and rivers suddenly turned green. The "green" here has a very dynamic beauty. It was originally the fisherman paddling in when the mountains and rivers were clear and bright. According to Liu Zongyuan's writing, it seems that the fisherman's cry awakened the mountains and rivers, highlighting the harmony between man and nature.
These two poems were once my favorite, and I could feel the natural agility even in my dreams. Being able to live among mountains and rivers is very desirable in itself.
3. "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountain"
Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, looking up and leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountain? How could Tao Yuanming not pay for five buckets of rice? He bent down and chose to return to the countryside and stay with nature. As long as readers read these two lines of his poems, it is difficult not to identify with him? Who would have the heart to leave behind such a leisurely and contented life?
4. "Let me insert plum blossoms and get drunk in Luoyang"
Let me insert plum blossoms and get drunk in Luoyang Flower City? This song "Partridge Sky" by Zhu Dunru in the Song Dynasty is the most beautiful The sentence is in this sentence.
5. "Walking to a waterless place, sit and watch the clouds rise."
Anyone who pursues Zen in life will envy Wang Wei's "Zhongnan Farewell" These two famous sentences. Yu Biyun, a recent scholar, said: "If you walk to the end of the water, and look at the clouds rising, you will see the infinite wonders. You can realize that the changes in the world are endless, and the meaning of learning is also infinite. There is a link between these two sentences. "("A Brief Introduction to Poetry")
The artistic conception of "Walking to the waterless place and sitting and watching the clouds rise" is like Tao Yuanming's "The clouds have no intention of coming out of Xiu". The calmness of these two poems. Leisure is not only for this time of walking and watching the clouds, but also a metaphor for life? Deal with it calmly and be leisurely.
Being able to achieve such a situation in life is already a blessing.
6. "Several huts, thousands of books, and old villagers. What's going on in the mountains? Songhua brews wine, spring water makes tea."
Back in the mountains and forests, there are several huts. There are enough books for me to enjoy. On weekdays, I use pine flowers to make wine and spring water to make tea. It can not only satisfy my spiritual cultivation, but also satisfy my appetite. The accommodation conditions may not be that superior, but it is enough for life. This is like the life of a hermit in many novels, leisurely and tranquil.
7. "There is a Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, and a Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Temple. The Peach Blossom Fairy plants peach trees and breaks off flower branches to pay for wine. When you are sober, you only sit in front of the flowers. When you are drunk, you have to sleep under the flowers." Flowers come and go day after day, and drunkenness and sobriety year after year. "
This song "Peach Blossom Temple" by Tang Bohu, a romantic talent in the Ming Dynasty, also depicts a very desirable life.
Peach Blossom Temple continues the romance of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Land. There are peaches and wine, and you can exchange flower branches for wine money. You can get drunk in the peach blossom forest every day. This is the author's ideal life.
8. "Where is my house with a smile? A pond of lotus leaves and a small bridge."
A pond of lotus leaves and a small bridge are like Liu Yuxi's "The Humble House" The feeling in "Inscription": Although the residence is simple, it has met all my needs, simple and happy.
9. "I don't hate the nine deaths in the wilderness, but I am here to travel through the wonders of my life."
Su Dongpo's two poems describe another kind of "non-leisure" life. While shocking, it also made many people scream. Sometimes after going through big storms, we may want to find a quiet place to spend our life leisurely, but many times, the world does not allow us to realize our dreams. In the face of countless setbacks and sufferings, these two lines of Su Shi's poems are Give us strength: Experience countless twists and turns in life and grow up amid setbacks. Isn’t this also a glorious life?
10. "Be at peace with your mind, make a fortune in a leisurely way, and you will never grow old."
To get more happiness in life, the most important thing is to have a peaceful mind. When we look down on gains and losses and take things easy, we can achieve happiness no matter in good times or bad. Wu Yong's "Water Dragon Song", "The mian water is deep in spring, the moon on the screen is pale" is a beauty that can only be appreciated with peace of mind.
Once in college, a teacher who taught classical poetry asked us: "Now that we have communicated in vernacular, few people write poetry anymore, and we have lost the original advantage of using poetry and poetry in the imperial examination to select scholars, what about Why do we still need to study classical poetry today? "
I think that is a yearning in itself. Poetry is one of the countless beautiful things in the world. It contains the beauty of art and life. The beauty of emotion, the beauty of emotion. Many times we are looking for a kind of song:
When we see the brilliant sunset and the shining water, we suddenly think of the young genius Wang Bo's "The falling clouds and the solitary owl fly together, the autumn water **" "The sky is always the same color", you should smile knowingly; when you sit with your friends on a snowy day and reminisce about the past, you will think of Bai Juyi's saying "It will snow in the evening, if you can drink a cup of nothing", infinite affection will suddenly arise in your heart; when you are frustrated while climbing a mountain, watching Surrounded by mountains, but alone, I may think of Li Bai's "I never tire of seeing each other, only Jingting Mountain", and think that Li Bai, the immortal poet who dazzled the entire Chinese poetry circle, was once so lonely. It turns out that the loss I feel now, in People in the Tang Dynasty have long experienced it, and there seems to be a kind of sympathy for each other's confidants across generations. They may also think of the poet Du Fu's "Being at the top of the mountain and seeing all the mountains and small mountains at a glance", so that they are not afraid of hardships and dangers, bravely face the sufferings of life, and face difficulties. And going up, riding the wind and waves?
Poetry is a kind of spiritual connection for us. If we happen to encounter that situation, if we happen to think of that poem, an encounter will occur. Just like reading novels, we like a certain novel often because we resonate with it, and the same is true for poetry.
