Zhang Jiuling is one of the most famous figures in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and even the whole Tang Dynasty, and also one of the earliest beneficiaries after the implementation of the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty. He was the number one scholar in the imperial examination in Wu Zetian period and the most important minister in Xuanzong period of Tang Dynasty.
In addition, Zhang Jiuling was also a very famous poet in that period. Zhang Jiuling's works are mainly five-character poems, most of which are elegant in style and simple in language. He pinned his thoughts on poems.
At that time, the poetry of the Tang Dynasty always followed the style of the Six Dynasties, and his appearance swept away this phenomenon and promoted the development of poetry. Compared with some prolific poets, there are not many poems handed down by Zhang Jiuling. According to statistics, only 199 songs have been handed down so far. Of course, this figure is not necessarily accurate. We can say there are about 200 poems.
From Flying from the Sea to Experience a Lonely Swan, although there are about 200 poems by Zhang Jiuling, I love his "Flying from the Sea to Experience a Lonely Swan" alone. This poem "Flying from the Sea to Feel a Lonely Swan" is the fourth in a series of poems written by Zhang Jiuling after being slandered, and the genre is a five-character poem.
This poem mainly borrows the meaning of matter, expresses his feelings and helplessness about life, and shows his ideological realm. This poem begins with a famous sentence through the ages. Let's read this poem together.
A lonely swan flew from the sea and landed in a puddle that it didn't want to condescend to.
It nests in pearl poplars, snoops and asks about green birds.
Aren't you afraid of the threat of a sling perched on such a high branch?
Good clothes make people point, and high climbers go against God's will.
Bird hunters will yearn for me in vain, because I roam in the infinite sky!
The official road is like the sea, and the official is like a goose. The first half of the sentence has a broad artistic conception. He wrote a famous sentence through the ages. Although it looks bland and nothing special, it is actually the best embodiment of combining scenes. After the boutique, it was amazing. In the eyes of the sea, Hongyan is very small, not to mention a lonely goose that has left the group. The fallen author thinks of himself as a lonely swan and can't meet his own bole.
The second half of the sentence seems abrupt, but it is paving the way for the following. Hongyan will certainly not be intimidated by the water in the moat after the wind and waves, but here the author still expresses it this way. That is to say, Hongyan, like Zhang Jiuling in officialdom, has experienced many ups and downs, and even the smallest wind and waves will be very vigilant.
In the second sentence, Hongyan saw two kingfishers, which actually meant that his political opponents occupied a high position, just like this kingfisher, nesting in three trees. The next two sentences are his advice to political opponents through the tone of Hongyan. I hope you are not too proud. Your feathers are so bright, aren't you afraid of hunters coming to hunt and take you away?
The next two sentences have the function of connecting the preceding with the following, that is, warning the two kingfishers. They are sharp-edged, and will definitely be regarded as prey, and they will definitely be hated by others for grabbing high positions.
In these words, Zhang Jiuling revealed the society at that time. So what should he do? The last two answers probably mean that now I am in the upper reaches of the sky, and the hunter can't take me. These two sentences show that he was in a chaotic officialdom, and finally chose to save his life and looked down on his degenerate attitude towards life.
Conclusion generally speaking, this poem shows the author's concern about the political opponents at the center of the whirlpool. The first few words have set the position and realm for the whole poem, combining people and things for metaphor, comparing things to adults, and describing Hongyan's loneliness and unsociable.
Through the tone of Hongyan, I expressed my inner feelings. Hongyan's departure from the group is a very vivid metaphor, which can make readers understand the author's mood at that time very concretely, and it can be said that it is very wonderful.
In addition, it also shows how he chose the chaotic officialdom, from which he saw the wisdom in his way of life and the significance of his good advice to his political enemies, which was of far-reaching significance in the society at that time.
