A probe into the theme of poetry in past dynasties;
Preface to Mao's Poems: The Beauty of Gan Tang. The religion called Bo is better than that in the south. "Zheng said to him," Tell Bo to listen to the lawsuit between men and women, and don't disturb the people. Don't listen to Xiaotang any more. The people of China are treated with their virtues, thinking of their people and respecting their trees. "
"Zuo Zhuan Xiang Gong Fourteen Years": "The virtue lies in the people, such as Zhou Rensi, loving his Gan Tang, but his son?" Du Yu's note: "Call for a hearing, leave him under Gan Tang, Zhou people think about it, and don't harm its tree, but make a poem about not cutting it down, in" Calling South "."
Zhu's Biography of Poetry said, "Hubo will follow the south, preach the rule of the king, or give up Gan Tang." Future generations think of their virtue, so they cherish their trees and can't bear to hurt them. "
Scholars of past dynasties have also written many poems and songs praising Zhao Gong and "Gan Tang's legacy", among which Xue's piles of Gan Tang in Zhao Bo are the most widely circulated. The original poem: "Poems and chapters have survived from ancient times to modern times, and Zhao Gong's benevolent government has won the hearts of the people. Gan Tang also knows how to protect the scissors, which shows that he loved it deeply. "
My own appreciation of poetry:
This poem tells people not to cut down and climb Gan Tang trees in a tone of advice, describes people's love for Gan Tang trees in a positive way, and writes people's nostalgia for Zhao Gong from a side perspective. This expression from writing trees to caring for people is the expression of loving me, loving my dog and expressing my deep love. Writing about trees instead of people is extremely subtle and euphemistic. Zhao Gong's talent and virtue were further praised by being pregnant with other people's expressions.
People who lived under the Gan Tang tree from generation to generation, through word of mouth, let people remember that this tree was the place where Zhao Gong rested. We can imagine that in spring, Gan Tang is full of trees and pears, and there are bound to be children who are not sensible to climb. Then the adults will tell the children that this tree is the one that Zhao Gong rested in those years, so we should cherish these trees. Pear trees are full of fruits in autumn, so greedy children will climb the Gan Tang tree to pick pears, and they will break branches carelessly. Adults will also warn children not to climb this Gan Tang tree, where Zhao Gong used to rest. When a child who is not sensible grows up, he will know who Zhao Gong is, and he will also know Zhao Gong's talent and virtue and Zhao Gong's from his parents or grandparents.
"Legacy of Gan Tang" and its significance;
Zhao Gong's talent and virtue are embodied in a story called "Gan Tang Di". Sima Qian recorded it clearly in Historical Records Yan Zhaogong Family: "Zhao Gong's rule over the West won millions of people. Patrol villages and towns, there are Tang trees, sentenced to prison administration. From Hou Bo to Shu Ren, everyone did their job and didn't neglect their duties. When Zhao Gong died, the people thought about Zhao Gong's administration, cherished the tree, and dared not cut it down. They sang it as a poem by Gan Tang. " This is the origin of the story "Legacy of Gan Tang".
According to historical records, in the areas under the jurisdiction of Zhao Gong, the policy of rites and music is implemented, and people often go deep into the people to observe the people's feelings and visit their sufferings. Zhao Gong keeps everything simple, and never occupies other people's houses during breaks. Once Zhao Gong came to Yiyang County, he stopped his horse under a tall Gan Tang tree and built a straw shed. During the day, I listened to the court's verdict, and the prison under the tree of Gan Tang listened to politics to solve the sufferings of the people, whether they were dignitaries or ordinary people.
Zhao Gong's moral character of leading by example, being diligent in political affairs, treating people equally, caring for their sufferings, not disturbing them and solving problems for them deeply touched the local people. Where Zhao Gong ruled, people took their positions, did their jobs, developed production, and the society was stable and the people were United. After Zhao Gong's death, people remembered Zhao Gong and thanked him for his kindness. Maybe it's because people think things. Zhao Gong once rested on the Gan Tang Tree, which became people's thoughts. People also wrote a poem "Gan Tang" to commemorate the appeal for public morality. The story of "Gan Tang's Last Love" has also become a symbol of sheltering from the wind and rain, solving problems for the people, serving as an official, benefiting one party and benefiting one party.
In the ancient village of Gan Tang, there are three stories about Zhao Gong listening to politics. Many folklores and local chronicles also record the stories that Zhao Gong listened to under the tree of Gan Tang, among which the story of "Gan Tang's last love" has a long history.
First, the story of Wang Huaibao: Zhao Gong learned during the interview that a servant was bound and beaten by his master for damaging his tools. Zhao Bo called him and taught him earnestly that it is a trivial matter for a servant to damage his tools of work, and it is wrong for you to punish him. Beating workers is an act of destroying and creating wealth. The etiquette system requires people with different division of labor to take their positions and perform their duties, so that society can prosper and develop. "Caring for the little people" embodies Zhao Gong's virtue of observing people's sufferings, looking at problems from a small angle and caring for ordinary workers. Only by "caring for the little people" can the society be stable and the people be United.
The second is the story of "Six Wedding Ceremonies": Zhao Gong saw two men fighting for their wives during his country trip. There was no wedding ceremony for women before the Western Zhou Dynasty, so it was easy to cause controversy. In order to solve this phenomenon, and to stabilize the family order and establish the name of husband and wife, Zhao Gong formulated the "six gifts" of accepting gifts, asking names, accepting gifts, inviting parties and welcoming relatives. "Six Rites" provides a marriage system with laws to follow and evidence to follow.
The third story is "Legacy of Gan Tang": Zhao Bo visited the village and built a thatched cottage under the Gan Tang tree without occupying people's houses. He said: "It is unkind to work for the people and not for the whole body." For the peace of the people, they would rather suffer by themselves. This is what officials should look like. Gan Tang has become a symbol of sheltering the people from the wind and rain, solving problems for the people, serving as an official, benefiting one party and the people. Tang Yin has become synonymous with good official achievements.
Conclusion:
Through the above three stories about Zhao Gong, especially the story of "Legacy of Gan Tang", we can truly see Zhao Gong's talent and virtue. As a high-ranking official, Zhao Gong can communicate with ordinary people in depth, face to face, and personally understand people's livelihood issues. He is very popular without ostentation and extravagance. Being able to lead by example, be diligent in political affairs, treat everyone equally, and make everyone get his place, which is the performance of good governance; Being able to build a thatched cottage under Gan Tang tree without disturbing the people is a sign of caring for the people. It can be seen that people will never forget a person who really does good for the people and is truly honest in politics.
