Li He is the grandson of the Tang Dynasty. He was born after Li Liang, the king of Zheng. But after a long time, his branch in the Tang Dynasty has long been forgotten by the royal family and reduced to a village living on a hillside, left out in the cold and unable to make a living. Although he was brilliant, studied hard, and wrote poems very early, he could not be recommended and appreciated by powerful people, so he had to struggle in the lower class, so he wrote this group of poems with anxiety and anger.
This group of poems has always been considered that they were not written in one place at one time. Wu Qiming's "Li Heji" thinks that it was written in the ninth year of Yuanhe (8 14), which was the year of the horse. The poet was deeply moved and wrote this group of poems in one go.
There are 23 poems about horses written by Li He, which are called poems about horses. In fact, they are used to express their feelings, their indignation and their ambition to make contributions.
The vast Yuan Ye is as white as snow, and at the beginning of Yanshan, it bends like a golden hook. This frontier battlefield is a place where good horse heroes can show their talents; However, when can the horse be loaded with a golden skeleton and gallop on the land of clear autumn? This poem has a lively language and a healthy and fresh style. The first two sentences describe the scenery, describing the scenery suitable for galloping horses in Yanshan Yuan Ye; The last two lyric sentences, I think I am a good horse. I hope I can be reused and show my great talent and ambition.
It is the first meaning of Li He in this group of poems, and it is also the focus of this group of poems. The first poem at the beginning depicts a good horse with high spirits: "The dragon's spine is attached with money, and the silver hoof is white." There are black flowers on its back, and when it gets up and runs, there is a white cloud under its feet, which seems to be walking on clouds. It's a pity that such a good horse has no cymbals, let alone a golden whip. The poet expressed his brilliant but unappreciated feeling here, with a strong sense of loss! In the third poem of Ma Shi, the poet wrote: "I suddenly remembered Zhou and drove to Yushan. When bidding farewell to Fengyuan, Chiji was most grateful. " This poem quoted the allusions in the legend of Mu, saying that driving to Wangshan, where the Queen Mother of the West lived, traveled around the world. Among the eight horses, Chiji contributed the most and was the most generous. But although I am like a red horse, I can't meet the son of heaven who appreciates talents like Zhou Muwang. This poem euphemistically reveals the poet's strong incompetence from his admiration and admiration for Chiji.
Under the domination of the sense of natural dominance, choosing a teacher is the second meaning of Li Heyong's horse poems. For example, the tenth poem of "Ma Shi": "Urge Dan to cross the bird river, and the gods call the wind. Now that the king has solved the sword, where can he chase the hero? " This poem is very touching. Xiang Yu didn't want to return to Jiangdong after the defeat at Wujiang Estuary, so he gave his beloved Wu Zhui to Tingchang. When the director of the pavilion hurried away on the boat with Wu Zhui, Wu Zhui fell in love with the Lord and hung his head in the wind: "Xiang Wang has already abandoned his sword and committed suicide. Where can I pursue such a hero in the future? " How strong it is to lament that there are no English masters in the world! In the sixteenth poem "History of Horse", the poet chanted: "Tang Jian beheaded Sui Gong, and the fist was sent to Taizong. Not too heavy. Grab it, okay? Wind. " When a fine horse meets an English master, it can give full play to its potential. Even if the shining armor on Emperor Taizong's body is heavy, his fist will run as fast as a whirlwind! In the eighth poem of Ma Shi, the poet lamented: "Red is not used, you must ride like Lu Bu. I heard that if I was dismounted, I was a savage. " According to the biography of Cao Zang, "Lu Bu can fly over the city on a horse named Red Rabbit. Yu Tian: "There is Lu Bu among people, and there is a red rabbit among horses. "In these two poems, the former expresses the poet's desire for English lords; The latter uses allusions to imply that outstanding people must meet wise masters to play their role. His desire to know the Lord is full of words.
When you meet an English master, you should try your best to show your talents, which is the third meaning of Li Heyong's poems. The fifth part of Ma Shi wrote: "The desert sand is like snow, and the Yanshan moon is like a hook. When you are a golden brain, step on the clear autumn. " The first two sentences describe the cold and desolate environment around Yanran, suggesting the hardships of the steed, but the steed doesn't feel bitter. It is eager to win the golden horse and gallop on the battlefield in Mobei, just like walking in the clear autumn. This poem reveals the meaning of looking forward to meeting each other and showing their strengths. The twelfth poem of Ma Shi also expressed the same wish: "Bamboo batch, ear storage, peach blossom on the upper body." He must stir up the array and borrow it from the general. " This good horse is still very young, with bamboo spikes just gathered on his forehead, and its coat color is not as bright as that of the peach blossom horse, but after all, it is a good horse, and it will definitely affect the whole body and help the general achieve something in the future. The poem implies that although he is young and unpretentious, he is confident and handsome, and will certainly be able to assist the king in the future and make great achievements in love.
The fourth meaning of Li Heyong's horse poems is that if you don't know how handsome you are, you will be heavy. Twenty-three wrote: "Emperor Wu loves immortals and burns gold to get purple smoke. The stables are full of horses and don't understand the sky! " Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was superstitious about immortals and attracted a group of Taoist priests to burn gold for him. As a result, he got nothing but plumes of purple smoke. His stable is full of fat horses, so it is impossible to carry Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the immortals! In this case, the horse is bound to be abused and tortured. The author uses this as a metaphor for the ruler's contribution to talents, which is the fifth meaning given by Li Hema's poems. In the sixth poem of "The History of Horses", the poet wrote about a hungry horse, skinny, with rough hair and dark red. A thick hemp rope was wrapped around the horse's head, which broke all the hair on the horse's head: "Hungry teeth, rough hair wears flowers." The burnt vermilion color falls, and the hair is broken. "This poem vividly depicts the image of a good horse that has gone through hardships, fully describes the scene of the destruction of outstanding talents in feudal society, and expresses the poet's full anger. In the ninth poem of The History of the Horse, the poet can't help but sympathize with the horse and once again sigh: "Uncle Zhuan Xu went in a hurry, but now he doesn't want to kill the dragon. When the frost comes at night, the horse breaks the west wind. "The scene of excellent people being pushed off is vividly on the paper.
With the help of horses, Li He expressed his resentment of incompetence and inability to serve the country and his views on people in his poems, so his poems have strong realistic pertinence. Most of the expressions of this group of poems are emotional attachment to things, which is implied. Literally, they write about horses, but at the end of the words, they write about themselves, integrating things with me, which truly embodies "profound sustenance", so they are very intriguing and thoughtful.
