Write to my wife in the north on a rainy night.
Tang Li Shangyin
Li shangyin in Tang dynasty
Translation (Xu Yuanchong)
When you ask about the return date, it's hard to say, evening rain, Manqiuchi.
When * * * cut the candle at the west window, but talk about the rain at night.
You asked me when I could come back, and I didn't know.
Xishan pool, autumn rain stream
When can we trim the wick again by the window?
Talking about this endless, dreary rainy night.
The wives of ancient poets were all great. Because of their existence, we can be influenced by so many romantic, wonderful and stylish love poems later. Without the noise of love, you can feel the long flow of lovers. It implies a broad and firm love. (The "three obedience and four virtues" of ancient women is indeed the standard for men to stop)
In this way, the male poets in ancient China are not inferior to the English gentlemanly demeanor and the French romance.
But will these "originators" of China's love letters, if they live a few more, become different in this era of "quick success and instant benefit"?
There is a boy in my circle of friends who writes poems and comments on them. You don't need to see his face, but you can see what he looks like through his poems: high spirits. Can feel his whole mental state, sonorous and powerful.
Later, I didn't see him write it. I asked him why, and he said: Too busy, no energy, mainly no feelings.
What he said is not unreasonable. His environment does not allow him to have time and energy to care about his feelings. He needs to keep up with the trend and constantly renovate his language. So as not to appear "outdated". Later, I saw his status, almost all of which were online buzzwords, catching up with hot reviews. But it seems that my impression of him has become blurred or even confused. He has become one in a million in Qian Qian, and he is no longer unique.
I have tried to write poems for boys I like, and I have also tried to write a resume by writing poems. Because I believe that words can convey delicate feelings better than telephone and WeChat. This is due to the universal significance of the text itself in human consciousness. I have no reason not to take advantage of this.
Perhaps in this world, people who can talk and act are more popular, but those who can't write silently are introverted and forbearing.
If you have perseverance, you can become a person who can speak, write and think, and feel that the whole world is thinking. Sometimes you don't have to work hard to prove your mark. God knows whether you have been here or not, and only God knows where you will go in the future.
Best of all, even if the body disappears, the spirit still exists.
