I doubt that the spring breeze can reach this distant horizon.
Otherwise, it's already February. Why can't I see the spring flowers in this mountain city?
Canxue pressed on the branches as if there were green oranges shaking.
Lei Zhen breaks the ice in spring, and bamboo shoots are awakened and germinated.
Hearing geese crow at night reminds me of my hometown.
Enter the new year with illness and feel the spring.
I used to be an official in Luoyang, where I saw the exotic flowers and plants.
Although the wild flowers in the mountain city bloom late, there is no need to sigh and be surprised.
Ouyang Xiu's confused and lonely feelings are hard to calm down because of the political blow. However, he did not lose confidence and disappointment, but showed the spirit of being demoted and remained full of confidence in the future. Comment on the scenery and express feelings in simple and natural language, but it is very detailed, meaningful and friendly and smooth in style. Ouyang Xiu is very proud of the first two sentences. According to Qin Xi Shihua's quotation from "The Echoes of Tiaoxi", he once said to people: "If there is no next sentence, the last sentence is not good, and you will feel refreshed after reading it." Later generations also said it was "fantastic". These two sentences are consistent in tone because of one cause and one effect; The sequence begins with "doubt" and leads to the explanation of "doubt", so it appears tortuous and uneven; In addition, it also contains the expectation and disappointment of the poet when he was relegated. So although it is like a mantra, it is actually very particular. The relationship of the whole poem is also one after another, subtle and subtle. In the Tang Dynasty, metrical poems mostly used parallel images, intermittent or jumping connection, while Ouyang Xiu tried to form a flowing and coherent rhythm of eight poems, which is undoubtedly a new way after the Tang Dynasty.
Answering Yuan Zhen, a masterpiece of Ouyang Xiu's legal poems, was written in Song Renzong Jingyou for three years (1036). This year, Ouyang Xiu moved to the magistrate of Yiling (now Yichang, Hubei) on business, and made friends with Ding, a military judge. Ding once wrote a poem for Ouyang Xiu, and Ouyang Xiu also wrote a poem to answer it this year. This poem is the first couplet written in the desolate mountain city; Zhuan Xu carefully inherited the desolate scenery of the mountain city, and wrote the vitality of remnant snow and cold thunder. The last two couplets are lyrical. The pathos of The Neck-Bound Writer in the changes of time and everything is sad; William wrote that he was a guest in Luoyang in his early years and was familiar with Luoyang peony. Although the wildflowers in the mountain city are late today, he doesn't care at all. In such an ordinary poem, Ouyang Xiu expressed his unyielding ambition and the author's philosophical thinking about life. It is at this point that Ouyang Xiu's poems reflect the innovative characteristics of paying attention to reason and interest in Song poetry.
Ouyang Xiu studied in Song Renzong for three years (1036) and was demoted to Yiling County, Zhou Xia. This poem was written in Yiling the following spring. There is a book entitled "How long did it take Yuan Zhen to rain". The title "Drama" is a statement that this article is just a game, but it is actually a cover-up of his political frustration after being demoted. The whole poem first describes the bleak spring scenery in a remote mountain city, then expresses his loneliness and homesickness in moving to a mountain village, and finally makes a speech to comfort himself. It seems detached, but in fact it is sad, showing the author's deeper pain under the calm surface. The scenery is fresh and natural, and the lyrics are full of twists and turns, sincere and touching. The first two sentences are wonderful, and Ouyang Xiu himself is quite complacent. He once said, "Without the next sentence, the last sentence is not good." And read it, you will feel refreshed. "(Cai Shu's" Xiqing Poetry ") The first sentence is extraordinary, and the next sentence is interlocking, so Fang Hui said:" The next sentence is delicious. Chen Yan's Record of the Essence of Song Poetry said: "Rhyme has a higher meaning * * *. "
The first sentence is about the harsh environment in Yiling Mountain City. In February, other places should be full of flowers, but here is desolate. On the surface, the poet wrote about the harsh natural environment, but in fact he wrote about the harsh political environment. The implication is that taking care of the imperial court is no longer an official who came all the way from Tianya Du to visit this small town. Canxue presses branches, but there are still delicious oranges to taste in Yiling, which means that even so, you can live as you should in the mountain city. You must taste delicious food and break the loneliness of life. The first freezing thunder woke the sleeping bamboo shoots, and it also accumulated strength, and it was about to sprout new buds and break through the severe suppression. The words "I heard about the goose at night" and "I fell ill during the New Year" reflect the poet's anguish. It is inevitable to feel homesick in exile in mountain cities, and this homesickness has become homesick. In the face of the new year and the renewal of things, it is inevitable that time will pass and life will be short.
At the end of the poem, although the poet comforted himself, he revealed a very contradictory mood. On the surface, he said that he had been an official in Luoyang and had seen the famous garden in Luoyang, which was the most famous garden in the world. There is no need to lament that he can't see the wild flowers that bloom late here, but in fact, he is full of helplessness and desolation. In fact, it is a big event, so this song is born out of the daily trivia of "no flowers"
The beauty of this poem lies in being pregnant with a child, complaining without anger. It uses the relationship between "spring breeze" and "flowers" to convey the relationship between the monarch and the people. It is a further expansion of the relationship between the monarch and the people with "vanilla beauty" since ancient times. He was deeply convinced that the virtuous gentleman would not abandon the virtuous minister, so he said in another poem, "To believe far away, Victoria is full of flowers", but this poem was contrary to his original intention. However, in feudal political affairs, the relationship between the monarch and his subjects was more personal and politicized, and it was very painful for his subjects to be truly independent and make their own choices. Therefore, he could only express his resentment in the form of "play giving" and "play answering", and he inherited the elegant tradition of "complaining without anger" in China's classical poems. It is said that Ouyang Xiu is very proud of this poem, which is probably the same reason.
Ouyang Xiu (1007- 1072), whose real name is Yongshu, is a drunkard, and later named "Liu Yiju". Han nationality, a native of Yongfeng, Jizhou (now Yongfeng County, Jiangxi Province), called himself "Ouyang Xiu of Luling" because Jizhou originally belonged to Luling County. Wenzhong, nicknamed Ouyang Wenzhong. Politicians, writers and historians in the Northern Song Dynasty, together with Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Wang Anshi, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe and Ceng Gong, are known as the "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties". Later generations also called him "the four great writers of the ages" with Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan and Su Shi. Ouyang Xiu
At the beginning of a sunny day, I felt the heartbeat of spring. A piece of spring worries about wine. The boat on the river rocked and the curtain moved upstairs. There are oranges in the residual snow, and the freezing thunder scared the bamboo shoots to sprout. The state of foreign land is different from that of people, only the east wind knows the old. Beautiful spring outing in Surabaya, the endless scenery is new. White horse and gold are in the east of Liaoning, and Luowei embroidery is in the spring breeze. Visitors, no matter how old they are, will walk to the front of the exhibition hall in spring. The old garden is barren and willow is new, and Lingge sings endlessly in spring. Yan knows his lair, so he looks at the new calendar. This spring is coming to an end. When will I go home? The beautiful spring grass is still alive, and the young spring is growing gradually. Wild flowers are competing, and the water in the spring pool is surging. A beautiful spring road. Where Xiaoying is crying. Mountains and rivers are far away, and falling flowers and wind and rain hurt spring even more. I only know how to look for beautiful scenery and forget the cold, my spring breeze in the sunset.
