It is said that the cock crows and the sun rises.
Not afraid of clouds covering your eyes,
Because I am on the top floor of the building.
Deng Fei Lai Feng is a seven-character quatrain written by Wang Anshi, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. The author of this poem directly describes his excitement and great political ambition from the perspective of personally climbing the Chihiro Tower and taking a panoramic view.
In the first sentence of this poem, the poet used the exaggerated word "Chihiro" to write the height of the ancient pagoda on the peak and his own foothold. The second sentence of the poem skillfully writes out the brilliant scene of the rising sun seen on the tower, showing the poet's vigor, ambition of reform and confidence in the future, and becomes the emotional tone of the whole poem.
The first sentence is about the terrain of Feilaifeng. This sentence is extremely written about the high risk of boarding. The purpose of writing sentences is extremely far away. As the saying goes, "The Story of the Xuanzhong" says: "There is a big tree in Du Taoshan, named Du Tao, with branches three thousand miles apart. There is a pheasant in the sky. At the beginning of the day, the tree shines, the pheasant crows, and the chickens in the world follow. " According to this test, the word "I heard that the rooster crows and the sun rises" is not only popular in Wanli, but also famous and powerful. Although it is a foreshadowing, it cannot be taken lightly. And the author is practical and ingenious. For example, the allusion "The sun shines on this tree and the cock crows at dawn" originally meant "The day after tomorrow", but Wang Anshi did not say "When you hear the cock crow at sunrise, you say" When you hear the cock crow at sunrise ",which means" The cock crows first, then the sun rises ". Poets are often subtle in their use of things, and they cannot aim at impartiality, or they make mistakes in their use of things for fear of having another meaning.
The word "not afraid" in the third sentence is stern and powerful. "Clouds cover your eyes" has an allusion. According to Professor Wu Xiaoru's research, people often compared floating clouds to evil villains in the Western Han Dynasty, such as the Shen Xinyu Wei film: "Therefore, evil ministers cover sages as floating clouds cover the sun." That's what the king's judgment means. He also has a seven-metrical poem "Reading History", in which a couplet says: "At that time, darkness was still a mistake, and the customs at the end were even more chaotic." If you want to achieve great things, the most terrible thing is to "cover your eyes with clouds" and "confuse the truth with vulgarity", and the new law that Wang Anshi subsequently implemented was precisely defeated by this. The poet's good intentions are shown in this poem.
The fourth sentence uses "at the highest level" to enhance the realm of poetry, which has the spirit of foresight. Turn, knot two sentences, wonderful love words, is also a famous sentence through the ages; The author's finishing touch is the conclusion. As far as the situation is concerned, the word order should be "because I am at the highest level, I am not afraid of clouds and fog", but the author is the other way around, saying the result first and then the reason; The inversion of one cause and one effect shows the transformation of poetic vision. Although this is a common method of writing poetry, it also shows the author's profound conception. The last two sentences are the poetic eyes of the whole poem, which contain profound philosophy: people should not only look at the immediate interests, but also look at the overall situation and the long term.
"I am not afraid of clouds covering my eyes, but I am afraid of the highest realm." With Su Shi, "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but toward which corner of the mountain." In the same strain, the expression is very similar. In terms of affirmation, Wang's poems are metaphorical: "If you master the method of correct views and reach a certain level of understanding, you can see the essence through phenomena and you will not be confused by the illusion of things." Su Shi, on the other hand, is negative. He said, "People are confused by the illusion of things because they don't observe things comprehensively, objectively and correctly." Both of them are very philosophical and often used as mottoes.
