There is no need to mention those hard days again. Today, being the first is full of spirit. Riding proudly on the majestic spring breeze, it seems that you can enjoy all the famous flowers in Beijing in one day.
When Meng Jiao was 46 years old, he won the Jinshi and got carried away, which became this unique poem. This poem is more widely known because it has left two idioms for later generations: "Pride in the Spring Breeze" and "Enjoy the flowers by walking in the green".
Second, the creative background.
In 796 (the 12th year of Tang Zhenyuan), 46-year-old Meng Jiao went to Beijing for his third scientific research at the behest of his mother, and eventually became a scholar. On the day of the release, Meng Jiao be in heaven immediately wrote this quick poem.
Third, appreciation of famous sentences.
In this poem, "Spring Breeze Proud Horseshoe Disease, Chang 'an Flowers See You One Day" is widely circulated, which is inseparable from the high artistic achievement of the poem itself.
It is not only a positive and hearty expression of a period of pleasure, but also an implicit symbol.
Expressing emotions in an exaggerated way: it is impossible for him to gallop on Chang' an Road, where cars and horses are crowded and tourists compete for scenery. There are so many spring flowers in Chang 'an that it is impossible to "finish" them in one day. But the poet can think that the pounding of hooves that day was particularly mild, and he can also say that he saw all the Chang 'an flowers in one day. Although unreasonable, but affectionate, because the writing is true feelings, so I don't feel ridiculous.
The so-called "spring breeze" is not only a natural spring breeze, but also a symbol of the suitable political climate that the poet thinks can make a big difference. The so-called "complacency" includes both the complacency after entering the Jinshi examination and the complacency after getting what you want and looking forward to the future. Therefore, the artistic image displayed by poetry is not limited to Meng Jiao himself. He galloped on Chang 'an Road in the spring breeze after entering the imperial examination, but it is an artistic image with universal significance.
In my opinion, the poet is inevitably frustrated after failing the exam twice, and what supports him to go to Beijing again to catch the exam is his confidence in his talent. Finally, he took part in the imperial examination in the year of no doubt, which not only had the joy of being recognized for his talents, but also had a positive outlook for the future. Although the pattern of this kind of emotion is very small, it is rare for Meng Jiao to express his joy vividly in poetry, so that later generations think of this poem when they mention the Imperial Examination High School.
Fourthly, the evaluation of Meng Jiao's imperial examination poems.
Song Ge Li Fang's "Rhyme in Yang Qiu": Meng Jiao's "Luodi" poem says: "Abandoning it is like a knife wound." The poem "Once again" says: "If you wake up nine times a night, you can't dream of going home." "Down to the Southeast" said: "Gracilaria cried with me, and the sea and moon were amazing." Too many worries. ...... "Poetry for Liu" says: "I don't know, unfortunately, the treasure is not eye-catching and the sound is not deafening." "Tansheng" says: "If you complain about a poem, you will be forgiven. I hope that the text can be achieved, but now I am poor because of the text. " There's enough resentment. The poem "After Graduation" said: "In the past, the filth was not enough to brag, but today there is no limit to debauchery, and the spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, and you can see all the Chang 'an flowers in one day. The arguer used this poem to test the non-long-distance devices in the suburbs. I said I was depressed in the suburbs. As for those who cry repeatedly and don't listen, they get the first place at the age of 50 and are extravagant. Oh, they can't help themselves, so they have no ambition.
