The most elusive friend in Tang poetry is Xiao Li (Li Shangyin). The proof is as follows:
It is difficult to say goodbye when we meet, and the east wind is powerless and the flowers are withered.
The spring silkworms will not run out until they die, and the wax torch will not dry until it turns to ashes.
When I look into the mirror at dawn, I am worried about the clouds on my temples. When I sing at night, I should feel the cold moonlight.
There is not much way to get to Pengshan, and the blue bird is diligent in visiting.
What do you think this is about?
Is it about the dedication of a teacher who spins silk like a silkworm in spring, and then overwhelms himself after spinning?
Or is it about a young girl who wants to see her dream lover, but because she is locked in the house and on hunger strike, she is powerless and looks out the window to see the flowers disappear?
Or is it about yourself struggling for half your life and achieving nothing, but your temples are gray and you don’t realize how cold the weather has been all autumn?
Or is it that he has understood the truth and is going to Penglai Immortal Mountain to practice Taoism, but he subconsciously hopes to be accompanied by a close friend?
He shook his head helplessly three hundred times!
Li Shangyin, a young literary student, had rich vocabulary and active thinking. After a long day of daylight, he finally didn’t know what he was talking about, so he decided that this strange thing was "Untitled", and then he was inspired. Can't a poem covered with dust placed in the corner without a title be called "Untitled"? For example, the following song:
The golden harp has fifty strings for no reason, each string and one column reflects the past.
Zhuang Sheng was fascinated by butterflies in his dream, and looked forward to the emperor's spring heart with cuckoos.
The moon in the sea has tears, and the sun in Lantian is warm and the jade produces smoke.
This feeling can be remembered later, but it was already at a loss.
When Brother Shang Yin finished writing, he felt that the emotions in the poem were so involved that his heart was on fire and ready to burst out, but he was so excited that he forgot what he really wanted to say? So I had no choice but to go back, feeling as if I had known each other before and felt confused.
In the end, Brother Shang Yin became "addicted" to such expressions. Although others knew the words in his poems, they also knew that others were in the same state of confusion as him. It's like watching a beautiful woman smile from far and near. When you come back and think about it, you don't know what the woman is laughing at. It's just that you feel comfortable looking at it and forget to think about it.
Brother Shang Yin himself was helpless, so he accidentally became his own family. Brother Shang Yin smiled a bit evilly and obscenely: You can guess the meaning of the poem for yourselves!
Actually, Brother Shang Yin wrote these poems for a reason. His name has already said it all: when his parents named him, they had already decided to keep it a little secretive.
It can be seen——
Names are made by nature and carved by nature.
If you don’t understand it, I won’t bother you.
Thank you for the invitation. As for the meaning of poetry, everyone has their own hobbies. Old people like ancient poetry, and young and middle-aged people like new free verse. For these, the main thing is to see how the meaning and scenery fit together. During the Tang Dynasty, there was a student named Zhang Dayou who wrote,
"Snow Poetry",
There is an abstraction on the river and a dark hole on the well.
Yellow dogs have white bodies, while white dogs have swollen bodies.
Afterwards, the official caught Zhang Dayou and asked him why he had written graffiti. Zhang Dayou said that he was just reciting poetry to explain the truth. Some actual situations, the official said.
Then please write a poem with the theme of the imperial court sending troops to rescue. When Zhang Duyou heard it, he read aloud,
Millions of heavenly soldiers descended to Nanyang,
There are no reinforcements and no food.
One day the city is broken,
Cry for father more often than father, cry for mother more often than mother.
After hearing this, the political officer felt that although it was not clever, it was still the right topic, so he released Zhang Dayou. After that, Zhang Dayou’s fame spread everywhere, and later generations made the content simple and clear, and the image was vivid and humorous. And spread.
This is where doggerel comes in.
In the story of Liu Yong’s stay during the Qianlong period, he concluded with two lines of poetry,
The cat bites the urine bubble Empty likes it, but thinks of getting rich but loses money.
These two lines of poetry are not many, but they contain a story about a county magistrate’s family with more than 170 people, and a shop owner’s dog looking down on others,,,?
This question is both elusive and difficult to answer! Poetry itself is a very profound material! If the elephant itself has shallow knowledge, it will be viewed from the perspective of shallow learning, and its scope can only operate within the circle of shallow knowledge! When it comes to poetry writing, the more you delve into it, the more mysterious it becomes! The poet's knowledge is even more difficult to identify and understand thoroughly. Experts naturally have high intelligence, right?
Sometimes it can be seen that in the short mention of the couplet, the people are confused and annoyed! Sometimes when you see a few simple words, you can absorb thousands of postures and expressions! For profound poetry, sometimes it is better than thousands of armies and ten thousand horses! Poems include dream-like, humorous, riddle-like, etc., which are unpredictable! Reading poetry is like eating olives, savoring slowly, thinking, and feeling! Only slowly can you taste the real taste.
For Xue Qian himself, some poems have been exhausting his brain all his life, and he still cannot taste the true and profound taste! You say it's sour, it's sweet, you say it's sweet, it's spicy, that's what poetry is all about!
In the classic, when Tang Baihu met a talented lady, he said: "Six trees are dense, sycamores, cypresses and willows". Tang Bohu was stumped and could only run away in embarrassment! This talented young lady has made her mark throughout history! Her first line has no one yet, so here is her perfect second line! Therefore, poems that are difficult to understand and understand are so mysterious. Poems that are mysterious and difficult to understand must be considered good poems, right?
This is a delicate question. There are good poems that are easy to understand, and there are good poems that are difficult to understand. People may have different levels of understanding due to their different cultural backgrounds.
Due to different eras and different language structures, ancient poems may be difficult for people today to understand.
For example, is Li Bai's "Silent Night", which is very straightforward, really straightforward? And is Wang Zhihuan's "Ascend the Magpie Tower" really straightforward?
It’s not straightforward for me to read, but the philosophy and a lot of information inside show that the artistic conception of the poem is quite profound.

Thank you for the invitation
Different cultures and different ways of thinking will definitely have different understandings of poetry.
Chinese traditional poems, such as Li Bai, Du Pu, etc., are definitely easy to understand for Chinese people. After the May 4th Movement, some elements of Western poetry were borrowed from poetry, some of which are difficult to understand, and some of Western poetry is more abstract. But at that time, there were some master poets such as Guo Moruo, Wen Yiduo, Dai Wangshu, etc. Although they borrowed Western elements in their creations, the Chinese people could basically understand them. Because they understand that they are writing in Chinese characters and their works are for Chinese people.
Western poetry has the advantages of Western poetry. Although some hazy poems are difficult to understand, once you understand them, they will give you a new understanding of certain things at the ideological level. This is the reason why poets have a high status in the West.
We all know Tsangyang Gyatso! In fact, his poems are difficult to understand. The ones popular in society today are basically translations and adaptations. Because Tsangyang Gyatso did not write poems in Chinese characters, the textbook he studied poetry creation was India's "Poetry".
There are good poems and bad poems that are difficult to understand. There are good poems and bad poems that are easy to understand. Therefore, whether a poem is good or bad has nothing to do with whether it is difficult to understand or not.
This is a relatively broad question. The criterion for good or bad is not whether the words are easy to read or understand, but is judged by the breadth and depth of the poem's intention, as well as the level of the artistic conception created by the poem. Secondly, there are differences in the issue of understanding. Reading poetry generally requires relatively high literary literacy to make it easier to understand the author's feelings. Judging a poem cannot be based solely on one person's subjective feelings, but on how much it can move and how many people it arouses. Sometimes, the thoughts expressed in some poems may be more profound. If you have not had similar experiences, it may be more difficult to understand them. But good poetry is recognized by most people, and its good nature will not change just because some people do not understand it.
Of course it is a good poem. The reason why poetry is difficult to understand is because of the particularity and characteristics of Chinese characters: one word has multiple meanings and multiple words have one meaning. This is why classical Chinese uses the fewest words to express the richest content.
