People are not as smart as the sky, and their hearts are as calm as the Tao;
Come here yesterday, doubt past lives, sleep now, be reborn,
What you say to a wise man should be known, and it should be clear to a fool.
Things are like a boat with a short canopy, or moving to the west coast or east.
Several bright moons are still missing, and several southerly winds and northerly winds;
No one is as good as a thousand years old. When spring is deep and people are popular,
You have to put up with right and wrong, half dementia and half deafness.
Whenever you act, you should know the timing and consider the degree of chaos!
Where is Xiang Yu in Wujiang now? Who is Zhou in Chibi?
I'm lucky to win, and I won't lose anything by letting him go.
People and things are endless, and it is cheap to spare him.
The whole world can't forget it, who knows,
Make a living for a thousand years, and die fairly;
The sunset in the west is difficult to handle, and the water in the east can't turn back.
The world doesn't understand providence, which makes the body and mind feel sad at night.
It is very tiring to pursue fame and gain, and it is easy to be unhappy if you don't get it; Life is not drifting, but settling in Zhi Zhi.
Tang Yin's Police Poem is a long poem with seven words and sixteen sentences. The thought of poetry covers all aspects of life and contains rich philosophy of life. Now, the ideas of this poem are commented as follows:
First, things are different, let nature take its course. Time series cycle and world change are irreversible natural laws. Everything in the world will disappear with the passage of time. "The world has metabolism, ancient and modern, back and forth", and the changes in the world are endless. Throughout the ages, many literati have expressed their helpless sighs about the impermanence of the world. Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, once said in the face of the rushing river: "The deceased is like a husband, not giving up day and night." In other words, the change of the world is like a river running day and night.
The poet deeply felt the impermanence of the world. He believes that in the face of impermanence, we should not be tempted to plan an unrealistic future too much, but should always keep a normal heart and let nature take its course. Only in this way can we live a quiet and satisfied life. At the beginning of the poem, the poet clearly pointed out: "It is better to be calm than to be smart." I came to doubt my past life yesterday, but now I feel thoroughly remoulded after a sleep. I say I need to know from the wise, and it is also clear from the fools. "The poet believes that the world has its own public opinion, and there is no need to bother to speculate. Many times, the world is not as beautiful as you think. Instead of "coming yesterday to doubt past lives, now sleeping and reborn", let nature take its course. Because, many times, a person can't change impermanence.
In order to illustrate the impermanence of things, Tang Yin used various metaphors in his poems to illustrate impermanence: "Things are like boats with short awnings, or move to the west or east. Several times, the moon still disappeared, and several times the south wind and the north wind. When you are old, you will have a good life, and when spring blossoms, it will be red. " The changes of the world are indeed as unpredictable as a short Peng falling and a waning moon and spring flowers. Everything such as youth, fame and fortune is impermanent. A lofty and generous person is likely to lose his position for various reasons; Billionaires can also lose everything. Nothing in the world is eternal. Only by understanding this truth can we treat the success or failure of life with a normal heart.
Second, not distinguishing right from wrong, can endure self-protection. Zen master Baizhang in Tang Dynasty once said, "Distinguishing right from wrong is liberation." This sentence points out the best way to treat people's right and wrong. Tang Yin's attitude towards people's right and wrong is the same as that of Zen master Baizhang. He further advocates that right and wrong go in one ear and out the other, neither listening to right and wrong nor spreading right and wrong. As he said in the poem "A Warning to the World", "You must put up with what you hear. You are half-demented and half-deaf. ..... how lucky to win me, give him a break. Things and people are endless, and he is cheap. " If people can treat people's right and wrong with a deaf-mute attitude, these right and wrong will disappear and they can avoid many disasters. There are many injustices in the world that most people can tolerate. The only thing that people can't stand is that people are right or wrong. We often have some good people around us. They like to inquire about other people's right and wrong all day, and then spread it around with decorations. Sometimes they even say something that doesn't exist, which has caused great harm to the parties. There are also some people who naturally like to sow discord. They are afraid of chaos in the world. They criticized Li in front of Zhang and Li, but he was a good man in the middle. After such a provocation, friends who had a good relationship turned against each other in an instant.
As the saying goes, "people who are right and wrong are right and wrong." The poet advised the world that we should clearly understand who is right and who is wrong. In front of such people, we first don't talk about right and wrong, and at the same time we don't listen to other people's right and wrong, let alone distinguish right and wrong, but take an indifferent attitude towards right and wrong. Once you don't care about people's right and wrong, these right and wrong will lose their living space and slowly disappear naturally.
In this poem, the poet also said that when dealing with right and wrong, we should learn to bear the burden of humiliation. Buddhism says that "it is hard to endure, but it is hard to do", and folk sayings also say that "it is safe to endure". Many times, the spirit of bearing the burden of humiliation is also a great achievement in life. When we are hurt by others for no reason, most people will choose the way of tit for tat. As a result, both sides lose, and the problem cannot be effectively solved. On the other hand, if you can endure humiliation for a period of time, you will not only be safe, but also let the humiliated person use it as a driving force for progress and become a person who can make a difference in the future. In the history of our country, many celebrities worked hard after being humiliated. For example, Han Xingan was humiliated by his crotch and became a general to protect Liu Bang when he was young. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was defeated in the battle of wuyue, and he endured the great humiliation of being a servant of Fu Cha, the king of Wu. In order not to forget the national humiliation, Gou Jian made great efforts to govern. After "ten years of reunion and ten years of lessons", he finally destroyed Wu and became a famous overlord.
Third, be cautious and tolerant. In the poem Warning the World, the poet used Xiang Yu's arbitrariness to make Wujiang commit suicide and Zhou Yu's youth short-lived, to warn the world to be cautious in dealing with people in daily life, to think twice before doing anything, and not to be impulsive and do whatever you want. Otherwise, not only will your career be difficult to succeed, but you will also be killed. If we think carefully about the success or failure of a thing before doing it, we can not only reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles, but also make the cause go smoothly and finally succeed.
In his poems, the poet also warned the world to be tolerant of others. His poem says: "You should know the timing when you act, and don't be confused when you consider the level! Where is Xiang Yu in Wujiang now? Who is Zhou in Chibi? I'm lucky to win, and I won't lose if I spare him. People and things are endless, and it is cheap to spare him. " That's what happened. You can't get rid of what belongs to you, nor can you get rid of what doesn't belong to you. In the world of life, everyone's ability is big and small. There is no need to be competitive everywhere, but I am the only one. There will always be some people around us who are better than us in some ways. We should not be jealous of this, but treat others with tolerance. And seek the opinions of others as much as possible, which not only accommodates others, but also allows yourself to make continuous progress. If you keep fighting with others, you will often hurt others rather than yourself, and finally regret it.
In fact, people live in the world. If you compare with others everywhere, you will live in pain forever. Because, around us, there are many people more capable than us. Once you have a competitive heart, you will try your best to surpass others. In fact, your ability is very limited. When you are behind others despite your efforts, you will feel very painful. Instead, let people live freely. Once you lose the competitive spirit, you will find that you actually have a very easy life.
Fourth, those who see through the world live with fate. At the end of "Poems of Warning to the World", Tang Yin exhorted the world to see through the world and live with fate with very pertinent statements. As the poem says, "The world will never forget it. If you trust someone, you will make a living for a thousand years, and justice will be a dead end. " The sunset in the west is difficult to handle, and the water in the east cannot turn back. The world doesn't understand providence, which makes the body and mind worry at night. "
The poet thinks that many things in the world will disappear, even if life lasts for a hundred years, it will eventually disappear. Even if you make all kinds of calculations and plans, whether your calculations are successful or not, the career you have worked hard for all your life will stop until you die.
Time is like an infinitely beautiful sunset, but it is near dusk and people can't grasp it; Time is like a river flowing eastward, and it will never go backwards. Obsessed people in the world have never seen through the laws of metabolism in the world. Always tie yourself up and ask for trouble. If everyone can see through the people in the world, whether it is right or wrong, whether it is success or failure, they will live happily and carefree.
Tang Yin's Poems of Warning to the World contains profound philosophy of life. If we can teach poetry in daily life, we can not only stay away from disasters, but also make people see through the world and face the gains and losses of life with a normal heart.
