It takes a generation to have precession.
My opinion is that the article is angry in the middle of the night, and the slight emotion is the master.
Since Jane is a good friend, she doesn't like to echo and cater to casually. Wei's Biography of Yushan People once recorded an interesting story: "There was a prince and grandson who was vulgar and illiterate and would like to write poems together. The villagers invited them to take the lead, so they wrote the following sentence:' Come tomorrow and March'. The villagers said with him, "Madam walked out of the hall". Wang Sun laughed and said,' My generation wrote poetry in seven or five words, but now it is eight words. "Why," the villagers said,' Zi is a poem? If I write a poem, I will report it in seven or five words. "At the banquet where her colleagues invited her to travel, He Zizhen was so rude that she laughed at this" rude and illiterate "Wang Sun, who only hummed vulgar songs and didn't understand poetry. Then on the whole, Jane is more likely to refuse to agree. This poem provides us with an example.
Song and dance banquet is a place for games, don't take it too seriously; Some people's "begging for calligraphy" is also a respect for their own poetry names. At this time, the poet can cope with a poem at will and finish the book with a job, which makes everyone happy. When people and future generations read these entertaining works and understand the author's situation, they will not take them too seriously and take such works as his heartfelt wishes. However, this modest and inexperienced Gong Zizhen wrote a very serious poem at the Song Banquet.
The ditty sung for entertainment at the banquet is naturally a romantic love song that sings the wind and makes love to the moon and depicts the flowers and willows. It is elegant and beautiful, and Huang Zhong and Lu can't get on this table. So the first sentence seems to be a little helpless about this phenomenon. The poet said that it was probably an act of god to let these shoddy lyrics occupy the singing scene! Pseudo-style, unorthodox style; Fenghua refers to a work for singing, and its style is more fancy than orthodox works such as poetry. The second sentence, the trend of pen shift, explores this situation. "precession" refers to the influence of celestial gravity on the earth's rotation, which leads to calendar formulation errors, which accumulate year by year and eventually lead to calendar revision; The poet borrowed the word here, which means "depravity". The poet believes that the popularity of "pseudo-body" lies in the deterioration of the talents produced year by year. Does this only refer to the author of Fenghua and those musicians? No, because the poet said "talent", but in feudal society, musicians and the like can never be regarded as "talent", and only the author of orthodox literature can "win" this title. Therefore, in a broader sense, "wind flower" actually refers to all orthodox and unorthodox literature, while the poet pays more attention to the former, while the latter is only the step that causes him to sigh. As for "pseudo-body", of course, it also includes the abnormal atmosphere in orthodox literature. In this way, the ordinary song banquet has become a big topic to comment on the whole "generation" literature in the hands of poets.
The last two sentences of this poem further reveal how degraded those "talents" have become. Since Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty, due to the terror of literary inquisition; Poetry is lonely. Although there are all kinds of disputes among different poetic schools, which have caused a drop in the bucket, most of the works are caused by Chen and Chen's lack of creativity. Poets generally "write books for Miliang", dare to point out mountains and rivers, write resentful works, expose current abuses and discuss current politics. Therefore, the poet satirizes the overall trend of poetry in this era through the evaluation of Tang poetry in the old times. According to the traditional view, Tang poetry can be divided into four stages: early stage, prosperous stage, middle stage and late stage. The prosperous Tang Dynasty is the peak of Tang poetry, and the poetic achievements in the middle Tang Dynasty, especially in the late Tang Dynasty, are incomparable to those in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. But here, the poet deliberately took a step back and said: when I commented on articles (including poems in a broad sense), I always held a tolerant and understanding attitude towards the middle and late Tang Dynasty. As long as the poets at that time can write a little "feeling", I think they are all "famous". The implication is that today's "poets" dare not even express their feelings, which is worse than that in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. None of them can be regarded as "masters", so they are also called "talents". No wonder literature is going to degenerate! The irony of these two sentences is extremely strong: "Mid-evening" is a free ride, and "talent" is not as good as it; The poet didn't ask them to fight, just asked them to complain a little, but "talents" couldn't do it and didn't dare to do it. Besides satire, the poet's contempt can also be overcome.
Of course, behind the irony, there is a poet's arrogant face: since he despises the "pseudo-body" and "gifted scholar" of this generation, what are the poet's own interests and ambitions? These are not mentioned in the poem, but the reader can understand. In fact, it is because of his courage and boldness that he was able to correct the fallacies of modern literary circles and become a real "talent" of this era.
