It should be pointed out that although this poem by William Wang is simple, it expresses the feelings of many people. As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Jinling's prosperity passed away, which is distressing. "There are only stone pagodas in the sunset, and the dragon envoys have been visited by visitors", which is the sadness born in the face of the scene of Jing 'an Temple lecture platform. "Yesterday's sage wins today's history, and the setting sun mourns in the upper corner", which is the sorrow of the times. "It is said that gold can recruit talents and talents, and it will make future generations sad to climb the apprentice", which is the sorrow of talents. It can be seen that although there are various reasons, boarding makes people feel sad.
In addition, boarding will also lead to the sadness of literary creation. "Mountaineering is sentimental, and watching the sea is sentimental." It is inevitable that the literati will feel a lot when they board the temporary tour. However, emotions must be expressed in words, so inscriptions came into being. These poems, ideas and scenes will add color to the humanization of nature. Later generations stepped onto the stage, facing the same scenery, but the space for display became narrow, and they often felt that all the good poems had been written by their predecessors. Under the shadow and oppression of the predecessors, the latecomers had to put away their books and let them rest in peace. Wang Han summed up this phenomenon in one sentence: "Victory was rewarded by ancestors, and landing often made future generations sad." In essence, this is a kind of sadness caused by mental depression and an anxiety caused by literary influence.
People as big as Li Bai are not immune. Cui Hao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, traveled south and boarded the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang, where he wrote the poem Yellow Crane Tower. This poem has a high artistic level and is praised by Yan Yu as the first of the seven laws in the Tang Dynasty. The new study room in the Yuan Dynasty recorded in the biography of talented people in Tang Dynasty: "When Li Bai came, he said,' There is a scene in front of him, and poems are inscribed on it.' Leave without doing anything. Applause for the philosopher. "
Li Bai is really convinced, have you put it down? According to Hu Zai's "Tiaoxi Fishing in Conghua", after Li Bai put pen to paper at the Yellow Crane Tower, "Deng Nanjing to Phoenix Terrace" was written with the intention of winning or losing. Comparing Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower with Li Bai's From Nanjing to Phoenix Terrace, it is not difficult to find that Li Bai is obviously influenced by Cui Hao in conception, layout and rhyme. Therefore, the word "quasi" is used accurately, which clearly shows Li Bai's imitation of Cui Hao and also reflects Cui Hao's bullying of Li Bai.
It may be wise for me to remain silent about the inscriptions of the sages; In the scenic spots that have not been mentioned before, you might as well try it. According to Lu Hua on the Tip of the Tongue, Zhang Boyu, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, was so familiar that he sighed for a long time when he saw Li Taibai's ten verses. Zhou Liuquan was among the rocks, and then he saw a piece of clear water. He asked the local people, "This water is called Yue Mingquan." Gong said:' Taibai will not leave this topic, but will leave it to me. "Although Zhang Boyu is a madman, she doesn't compete with Li Bai, and there is no doubt that the avoidance strategy contains discouragement. According to Ruan Yue's Poem on the Turtle, Zhang Boyu's poem about Yue Ming's spring day is written like this: "Today, pine and cypress are eternal, accompanied by several peaks of snow. There is no dust flying, and the cold spring is bright. " Poetry is cold and awe-inspiring to read, and it is very suitable for the object of reciting, which is a good work.
Contrary to the sadness in the poem, Meng Haoran said in "Climbing the Wild Goose Mountain with Friends": "The world goes round and round, from ancient times to modern times. The glory of rivers and mountains remains unchanged, and this trace can be proved. " These poems are full of lofty sentiments, and there will be a sense of awe when reading them. In fact, poetry is difficult to be popular, which is an illusion, a one-sided understanding and a pessimism caused by failure to innovate. There are many beautiful mountains and rivers, and the style of writing cannot be bad; Careful study, heaven and earth can not hide its intelligence, so "it is better to be late than late, and it will take a long time to start." Everyone can write beautiful poems from their own unique feelings.
In addition, not only the works that have been made in the past affect the present, but also the newly created works will affect the tradition. Eliot, an English poet and critic, thinks that ancient and modern works are isomorphic literary pedigrees. "When a new artwork is created, all previous artwork will be affected at the same time." Although it is not as remarkable as the influence of the past works on the present, it does bring some changes to the whole literary pedigree. In other words, "the past determines the present, and now it will also modify the past." This modification is not only evaluative, but also structural. In this case, there is no reason for the writer to feel sad when he is in office.
Objectively speaking, the latecomers can't surpass their predecessors. In terms of subjective creation, there is actually much to be done. Since we have arrived at the scenic spot of Jiangshan, we might as well have a good understanding, knowing that "if you come, you will show your strength and there will be no ugliness"; "The old man was defeated by the new man, and later came from behind for salary", so "future generations don't have to mourn".
