Under the pine tree, I asked the young students;
He said that the master had gone to the mountains to collect medicine.
He also said to me, right here on this mountain,
But the forest is deep and dense, and I don't know his whereabouts.
Make an appreciative comment
This is a question and answer, but the poet used a combination of questions and answers to describe the anxiety of not finding a place to visit. His writing is complicated, his pen is simple, his feelings are profound, and his description is plain. White clouds are nobler than hermits, and pine trees are used to describe the spirit of hermits. The more I admire you when I didn't meet you when I was writing. Some people think that this poem was written by Sun Ge, entitled "When Visiting Xia Zun".
Jia Dao's thoughtful story
Jia Dao was a famous poet in Tang Dynasty in China. Forced by life, he became a monk at an early age. He loves to write poems and has high requirements for them. It takes a lot of effort to write a poem, word by word, from which many stories are derived, the most famous of which is the story of Jia Dao's deliberation.
Portrait of Jia Dao
One day, Jia Dao rode a donkey to see his friend Li Ning at night. His friend lives in a secluded place far away, but when he arrived at midnight, his friend was not at home, so he had to go back again and write a poem by feeling. This poem is called Li Ning's Seclusion. This poem first describes the quiet environment around a friend's house. Speaking of the phrase "the monk pushes the moon down the door", Jia Dao is not sure whether to use "push" or "knock". While thinking about it, he kept drawing the mold back and forth with deliberate gestures. He was so absorbed that he unconsciously bumped into the official's honor guard on the official road and was caught in front of the official, only to wake up from a rude awakening. This official was the famous essayist Han Yu at that time. When Han Yu interrogated Jia Dao, he learned the reason why Jia Dao ran into the honor guard, so he discussed with Jia Dao. Finally, Han Yu used the word "knock" to mention musical instruments. The knock on the door in the dark is loud, which can better reflect the silence of the night and the courtesy of the guests. Jia Dao repeatedly called it good, followed Han Yu to his home on a donkey, and became good friends from then on, discussing literary creation together.
Jia Dao's story is a very traditional story of China, which reflects the author's emphasis on brevity and accuracy in the process of poetry creation. The story "Deliberation" has been selected into the textbooks of primary school students, and the word "Deliberation" has also become a verb that is repeatedly considered and compared in the process of literary creation, so as to express the author's original intention more accurately and vividly.
Jia Dao was a poet in the Tang Dynasty, and later generations also called him Thin Island. He is the founder of Guanyin school. He pondered every word of his poem. It took him a long time to write a poem. Reading his own poems will be very touching. His life is very bumpy. In his early years, his family was poor and he became a monk. Because of the meticulous story, he got to know his good friend Han Yu and took the imperial examination after returning to vulgarity. He failed in the imperial examination for many years. Later, I offended the emperor, only became a small official, and finally died of poverty.
Jia Dao's 20 famous sentences are straightforward, concise, and without flowery rhetoric, which are deeply rooted in people's hearts and arouse readers' chorus. For example, in his suicide note, some simple dialogues describe the image of a Taoist who disappeared without a trace. There is also his description of the scenery in Yishui Poetry, bleak autumn colors, and the poetic sadness of parting with friends, which expresses the deep friendship between the author and friends. His poem "A Message to Zhou Yu of Han Dynasty" expresses his reverence for Han Yu, with flowing mountains and rivers and deep feelings. One of his poems, Li Ning's Seclusion, triggered a famous story of scrutiny, which was poetic, quiet and fascinating.
Jia Dao's poems are closely related to his life. After losing the imperial examination, he was very sad and his future was bleak. He wrote the poem "The Next Song". Sometimes, Jia Dao is also high-spirited and passionate. He wrote The Song of the Sick Stork, The Swordsman, A Generation of Frontier Generals and Meeting Old Friends, but he was frustrated all his life and had no chance to display his ambition, just lamenting.
Jia Dao's poems describe all kinds of life experiences, most of which tell the sadness of life, but their poetic style is simple and artistic conception is long, which makes people feel deeply.
