The ancient poem is as follows:
The ancient poem "He who seeks hermitage will not find it" is: Matsushita asked the boy, telling the teacher to go and collect medicine. Only in this mountain, I don’t know where the clouds are. Translated: Under the pines, I asked the young schoolboy; he said that the master had gone to the mountains to collect medicine. He also said to me: He is in this big mountain, but the forest is deep and the clouds are dense, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Appreciation
Jia Dao is a bitter poet famous for the word "examination". It is generally believed that he only worked hard on the use of words. In fact, his "elaboration" not only focused on perfecting words and sentences, but also took great pains in planning and conceiving. This poem is an example.
There are only twenty characters in the whole poem. As a lyric poem, it has environment, characters, plot and extremely rich content. Its secret lies in the ingenious use of question and answer style. It is not a question and an answer, but several questions and answers, and the questions are combined with the answers. The first sentence omits the subject "I". "I" came to "Matsushita" and asked the "boy", and found that "Matsushita" was the residence of the "hermit", and the "hermit" went out.
