Chu Xiao Jingci Temple sent Lin Zifang two songs.
Song Dynasty: Yang Wanli
one
Out of the West Lake, the moon is not yet full, and the lotus flowers are swaying between the rows.
Red incense is a cool country on earth, and Nanshan is a northern mountain.
Secondly,
It is the scenery of the West Lake in June, which is really different from other seasons.
Lotus leaves will not turn green the next day, and lotus flowers are particularly bright red in the sun.
Explanation:
First of all:
Walking out of the West Lake in the morning, you can see the waning moon hanging high in the sky last night. I accompanied my friends through the lotus pond surrounded by green trees and walked on the path of willow trees. In such a cool and cloudy world with red flowers everywhere, we walked through Nanshan and bypassed Beishan.
Second:
In June, the scenery of the West Lake is different from other seasons. Lotus leaves spread out in layers, connecting with the blue sky, endless green.
Graceful lotus flowers are in full bloom, especially bright and red under the sunshine.
After all: finally. Mid-June: mid-June. Four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. This refers to other seasons except June. Same: same. Connect with the sky: just like connecting with the sky. Infinite: boundless. Difference: Song Dynasty proverb, special, different.
From: Song Yang Wanli "Two Songs from Jingci Temple to Lin Zifang"
Extended data
By describing the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in June, these two poems express their attachment to their good friend Lin Zifang in twists and turns. The second one is widely read.
The first two sentences begin with the word "after all", and in a fit of pique, with the training, emphasize the unique feeling that the heart passes by in an instant. Then it is logical to describe in detail the special scenery that made him fall in love with it, with the focus on the "unique" lotus in the endless green.
Creative background:
After Lin Zifang was promoted to Jinshi, he served as the secretary of Zhige (a civil servant responsible for drafting letters for the emperor, which can be said to be the secretary of the emperor). Yang Wanli, then the subordinate supervisor of the secretary and the assistant of the prince, was Lin Zifang's superior and good friend. They often get together to talk about the idea of strengthening the country and resisting gold, and also discuss poetry and literature together. They share the same interests and regard each other as bosom friends.
Later, Lin Zifang was transferred from the emperor's side to work in Fuzhou, and the position was well known. Lin Zifang is very happy and thinks that she is a career promotion. Yang Wanli doesn't think so. When sending Lin Zifang to Fuzhou, he wrote this poem to persuade Lin Zifang not to go to Fuzhou.
Character achievement:
Yang Wanli was upright, outspoken, critical and reckless, so he was never of great use. Throughout his life, he regarded the official wealth as a shoe and spurned it anytime and anywhere. When I was an official in Beijing, I prepared to go home from Hangzhou in advance, locked it in a box and hid it in my bedroom. My family was forbidden to keep things, so as not to leave my job and go back to my hometown with my luggage, so I had to "publicize it every day".
This is in stark contrast to those who struggle for promotion and suffer from loss. Yang Wanli is an honest official, not disturbing the people, not greedy for money and things. Jiangdong transshipment agreement, should have more money, all abandoned in the official treasury, not a penny. Retired in Nanxi, a corner of the old house, just to avoid the wind and rain.
Yang Wanli left a lot of poems to express his patriotism and worries about the times. When he was the companion of He, the envoy of the State of Jin, he traveled between Huai River and Huai River and greeted the envoy of the State of Jin. He saw with his own eyes the great rivers and mountains of Song Dynasty and the original people who perished in the State of Jin, and his heart was full of great shame and indignation, so his patriotic poetry creation was the most concentrated and intense.
There are also many excellent works in Yang Wanli's prose. He is good at writing and learning from Liu Han (Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan). His works are dense, profound, elegant and meaningful, especially similar to Liu Zongyuan, and have been praised by friends and recognized by Yang Wanli.
