For thousands of years, people have offered sacrifices and chanted the moon to Yue Bai. There are countless poems about Mid-Autumn Festival, but few can be passed down to later generations. Su Shi is another talented poet who loves to chant the bright moon after Li Bai. The Complete Poems of Su Shi contains more than 2,700 poems by Su Shi, including more than 300 poems about the moon.
There are various moon images in Su Shi's works: bright moon, bright moon, new moon, mountain moon, clear moon, cold moon, absent moon, dark moon, river moon, sea moon, sen moon, frosty moon, oblique moon, flat moon ... the same moon, different moods. Su Shi's moon has become an important part of his life.
In Su Shi's poems, the image of the moon conveys the homesickness of wanderers, the lovesickness of lovers, the beauty of mountains and rivers, and the nostalgia for the past, which inspires us to think about life and return to simplicity. The moon image in Su Shi's poems has a positive and far-reaching influence on the poetry creation of later writers.
First, the image of the moon entrusts the wanderer with homesickness.
Gathering and parting are common things between friends and relatives in life. No matter in the ends of the earth or in a corner of the cape, we can all express our yearning for each other and the pain of parting in front of a bright moon.
On the night when there are few stars in the moon, the poet Su Shi looks at the silvery moon in the sky and unconsciously thinks of relatives and friends who are far away in a foreign land. His homesickness arises spontaneously and he writes many poems describing joys and sorrows.
In the spring of A.D. 109 1 year (Song Zhezong Yuan _ 6), Su Shi said goodbye to his old friend Xie Qian (Mu Fu) who moved from Yuezhou (now Shaoxing North, Zhejiang Province) to Yingzhou (now Hejian, Hebei Province) and passed through Hangzhou. Su Shi was about to leave Hangzhou. He wrote a poem "Linjiang Xian sends money to Mu Fu" as a gift.
Since we have been in Beijing for three years, far away from the world, you have traveled around the world. When I meet with a smile, it's still warm as spring. Your heart is like an ancient well, not water, and the peak is like a bamboo pole in autumn.
My heart is melancholy, because you want to separate the sails overnight. When you see me off, the clouds are the color of the moon. There is no need for the girls of Pei Jiu to feel too sorry for the glass. Life is a difficult journey, you and I are both passers-by, just like stopping at different hotels.
In the early Yuan Dynasty, Su Jushi, Qian Mufu, a layman in books. They are friendly to each other and have a close friendship. In Yuan _ 3, Mu's father went out to know Yue Zhou, and many families drank wine, and Su Shi wrote poems to bid farewell. Time flies, this reunion in Hangzhou has been the third year since I left.
In the past three years, Mu Fu has shuttled between Gyeonggi and wuyue, and this time he went to Yingzhou, which can be described as "traveling all over the world". Although we have been apart for a long time, our friendship can become stronger, and we can meet and laugh, just like the warmth of spring.
What's more gratifying is that friends and poets can keep their own style with pottery, such as an ancient well and a bamboo pole in autumn. Therefore, this farewell poem on a moonlit night has changed the lingering, sentimental, mournful or generous and sad style of previous farewell poems, and its innovative intention lies in statutes, but beyond being bold, argumentative and straightforward.
The writing is both emotional and interesting, which fully embodies the poet's broad-minded and free-spirited personality. The poet's affection for his old friend as soon as possible is deep and delicate, and it is full of twists and turns and touching.
The sentence "sail alone all night, Wei Yunyue bid farewell" depicts a bleak atmosphere and renders the author's depression and unhappy mood when leaving friends. But the sentence "Don't frown in front of you" has changed from sadness to generosity. It is said that geisha who are accompanied by singing and dancing at the banquet don't have to mourn for leaving sorrow and not hating.
The purpose of this sentence is, first, not to increase the sadness of parting between the traveler and the sender, and second, it is common to leave in the world, so there is no need to be sad. The two seem to be contradictory, but in fact they can be unified in restraining grief and being optimistic, which is in line with Su Shi's ideological character tempered by many official careers. "Life is like a trip, and I am also a pedestrian."
In a word, it is said that there is no need to leave the injury temporarily. In fact, life is like sending. Since everyone is a passer-by between heaven and earth, why care about the gathering and separation in front of him and Jiangnan Jiangbei? At the end of the poem, the whole poem was collected by comforting friends and releasing the soul, which not only touched people, but also revealed the same attitude towards life.
The relatives at home are concerned about the wanderer, and the wanderer in the distance is concerned about his relatives. They often ask Mingyue, are my relatives safe and my friends healthy? I wish them peace and health forever.
