The Relaxation of Hunting——Reading "The Book of Songs? Si Si"

Si Si Kong Fu, six bridles in hand. The public's charming son follows the public in hunting.

Feng Shi Chen Mu, Chen Mu Kong Shuo. The public said to the left, if you give up and pull it out, you will get it.

Wandering in Beiyuan, the four horses are at leisure. The chariots and chariots are carried away, and the horses are carried to rest their arrogance.

Xia worshiped heaven and Shang worshiped Shi. In the Zhou Dynasty, people's self-awareness had awakened. People began to consciously use their own actions to utilize and conquer nature in their production and life, such as hunting. Hunting can fully demonstrate human nature. Masculine beauty, strength, speed, bravery, unity, these characteristics and abilities are all obtained in the battle with nature. Therefore, there are also poems praising hunters and hunting in the Book of Songs.

The martial spirit in the feudal era was purer and more meaningful, and the emperors were often proud of their superb hunting skills, not to mention the Yuan Dynasty founded by the Mongolian people on horseback and the Qing Dynasty founded by the Manchus. During the Han Dynasty, Sima Xiangru's great poems "Zixu Fu" and "Shanglin Fu" all described and described the grand hunting scenes of the emperors in detail: "So the emperor carried the autumn and waded in the winter, and the emperor went hunting. Riding on the carved elephant, six jade Qiu, dragging neon flags, flying cloud flags, Pi Xuan in front, and traveling in the back. Sun Shu is serving the bridle, and the Duke of Wei is participating in the ride. The retinue is rampant, and they are out of the four schools. Those who are hunting are in the rivers and rivers. Mount Tai is the oar, the chariots and horses are thundering, the sky is shaking, the land is separated one after another, and the descendants are separated, and the rivers and lakes are surrounded by clouds and rain. , Meng Hesu, Gui Baihu, was beaten by Ban Wen, crossed the horse, reached the danger of Ling Sanqi, went down the steep road to the danger, crossed the gully and the water, played with Xie Zhi, and gridded shrimps and clams. The Yuan Meng clan, with his sword in his hand, shoots the sealing pig without hesitation, and the bow is not missed, and it falls in response to the sound. "This poem is Sima Xiangru's proud work, and it is bold and free in its narrative. Literary writing is also like a horse galloping on a hunting ground, with its grand structure and magnificent language, making the already grand hunting scene even more majestic and showing the domineering power of the emperors of the prosperous dynasty. Because of this, this poem was also loved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. .

If this poem is written by Huang Zhongdalu, then the "Book of Songs? Sisi" which also describes the emperor's hunting can be described as "Mountains and Flowing Waters", with long meaning and increasing charm.

This poem also uses the technique of "fu" throughout. The first chapter "The Si Si and Kong Fu, with six bridles in hand. The prince loves his son, and he follows the prince to the hunter" describes the beginning of hunting. Si, a horse with black hair and slightly red tips. It is also a good horse and a thousand-mile horse. Four horses ride side by side. They are tall and majestic and have powerful pedals. The movement and movement of Si Ma are all under the control of the Qin people. "The six bridles are in hand." , "Gongzhi Meizi", the word "Mei", seems to be weak and weak, but in fact is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. He can lift weight as lightly as he can, with full confidence and confidence. It can be seen that the strength of Qin State is extraordinary. However, the real protagonist is not the horse, nor the horseman, but the emperor. Although there is no word for description, his majesty is revealed.

Chapter 2 is during the hunt. "Feng Shi Chen Mu, Chen Mu Kong Shuo". Chen Mu is the male beast of the season. "Mao Shi Biography": "Wolves are offered in winter, elk are offered in summer, and deer, hogs and beasts are offered in spring and autumn." In the right season, the beasts that absorb the essence of the sun, earth, sun and moon are energetic, wild and full of blood. , I have long been impatient for the vast fields. Once I indulge, I will feel like a fish in water. My nature has been released to the greatest extent, and it is impossible to be restrained anymore. Facing a wild opponent, "If you tell him to leave, he will win." The emperor did not panic, galloped, followed closely, calmly, waiting to find the best opportunity, relying on his rich experience, he said in an understatement: "Left", as if waiting for the prey to fall into the trap, aim and release the arrow, and catch it at the sound. No matter how ferocious the beast is, it cannot escape the pursuit of man. In this intense and exciting hunting contest between the emperor and the beast, man and nature, who is the emperor? The final winner.

Three chapters describe the post-hunt situation. "Wandering in the North Garden, the four horses are at leisure. The carriages and carriages are separated, and the horses are resting on their pride." He won a great victory, stopped when it was appropriate, and did not indulge in hunting for a long time. The emperor knew how to transform nature, and he also knew how to make use of nature. The way of a gentleman is to combine hardness and softness, relax and be relaxed and natural. Only by recuperating and recuperating can you achieve greater victory.

Hunting is not that simple. It is actually a confrontational exercise. However, in this exercise, there is no ultimate winner, because each side learns valuable things from the other. The real opponent is yourself. If you are timid at heart, you will naturally not be confident. If you are in a panic, you will not be able to make a calm judgment. With greed in your heart, victory will not last.

Therefore, the emperor must practice relaxation through hunting again and again!
