Introduction to the work:
Yuefu in the Han Dynasty was originally an official position in charge of music in ancient times. There was a "Yuefu Order" in the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty. The Yuefu in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was large in scale, and its function was to take charge of the music used in the court and collect folk songs and music. After Wei and Jin Dynasties, all poems sung by Yuefu organs in Han Dynasty were called Yuefu poems.
The basic principle of Han Yuefu's creation is "feeling sad and happy, starting from things" (Art History and Literature awarded by Han Dynasty). It inherits the fine tradition of realism in The Book of Songs and reflects the social reality of Han Dynasty extensively and profoundly. The most outstanding artistic achievement of Han Yuefu lies in its narrative. Secondly, he is good at selecting typical details and expressing his character through his words and deeds. Its forms are five-character, seven-character and miscellaneous words, and it is particularly noteworthy that a number of mature five-character poems have been produced in Han Yuefu. The vast majority of Yuefu poems handed down from the Han Dynasty have been included in Yuefu poems compiled by Guo Maoqian, a Song Dynasty poet.
Original text:
The trees in the garden are lush, and the crystal dew rises in the sun.
Spring fills the earth with hope, and everything presents a scene of prosperity.
I am always afraid that when the cold autumn comes, the trees in Ye Er will turn yellow and the grass will wither.
The river runs to the sea, and when will it return to the west?
A lazy youth, a lousy age.
Precautions:
This poem is selected from Han Yuefu. Yuefu is a royal musical organ established since the Qin Dynasty. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a large number of poems were collected from the people, which were rich in content and wide in subject matter. This poem is one of them.
Long song line: the name of the Han Yuefu tune. Sunflower: an ancient vegetable. X: I did it. Yangchun: It's spring, with plenty of sunshine and abundant dew. B: spread and spread. Deze: Enze. Autumn Festival: Autumn. Festivals, seasons, festivals. Yellow: yellow. Flower: the same as "flower". Decline: For rhyme, it can be read as archaic. Hundreds of rivers: countless rivers. Sichuan, rivers. Acts 23: In vain, useless.
Today's translation:
Sunflowers in the garden are lush and soaring in the crystal morning sun.
Spring scatters hope all over the earth, and everything shows prosperity.
I am always afraid that the cold autumn will come, the leaves will turn yellow and the grass will wither.
When can a hundred rivers run to the sea and return to the west?
If young people don't work hard in time, they will only regret it for a lifetime when they are old.
Appreciate:
This poem begins with "Sunflowers in the Garden", and then the water flows to the sea and never returns, indicating that time is like running water and never returns. Finally, we should persuade people to cherish their youth and work hard, and don't wait until they are old to regret it. This poem uses things to express meaning. First, it uses the sunflower in the garden as a metaphor. "Green" means it is flourishing. In fact, under the sunshine and rain in the whole spring, everything is scrambling to grow. Why is this happening? Because they are all afraid that autumn is coming, they all know that autumn wind will wither a hundred herbs. The rhythm of life in nature is like this, and so is life? If a person doesn't work hard when he is in a good time, it will be too late to regret when he is old. This poem thinks that life is fleeting from the beautiful scenery of youth in front of us, and encourages young people to cherish time, make warnings and inspire people to forge ahead.
Brief comments:
This is a famous Yuefu poem in Han Dynasty. The poem uses a series of metaphors to show that we should cherish time and work hard as soon as possible. The first four sentences of this poem paint us a beautiful spring scene. There are dewdrops on the green sunflowers in the garden. After sunrise, the dew dried and the sunflowers were bathed in the sun. Everything in the world is blessed by the rain and dew of nature in spring, shining with unparalleled brilliance. However, when autumn comes, they will lose their bright luster, turn yellow and fade. Everything has ups and downs, and people also have a process from adolescence to old age. Time is like the water of a big river, which flows eastward into the sea and never returns. If you don't cherish time and work hard when you are young, you will only be sad when you are old!
The day after tomorrow, how many tomorrows!
Tomorrow will never come.
If the world is tired tomorrow, it will go to Qiu Lai as a veteran in spring.
What can you do tomorrow in a hundred years' time, watching the dusk flowing east and the sunset setting?
Please listen to my song tomorrow.
-Thoughts on Reading Song of Tomorrow
Yesterday passed away silently with memories, today comes quietly with hope, and tomorrow, it is shining and waiting for people. Some people are immersed in memories and nostalgic for yesterday; Some people are just drunk in dreams and look forward to tomorrow. These two kinds of people have forgotten that what should be cherished most is the preciousness of today!
Today, is it not a short day? Starting from tomorrow, I will study hard. Today, isn't it just 24 hours? I will start working hard tomorrow. Today, isn't it a third of a year? Starting from tomorrow, I will start to fight for the cause of * * *. -Some people think so and do the same. My friend, I never doubt your sincerity, but why do you have to put things off until tomorrow, and everything has to start from tomorrow? The sun and the moon are in a hurry, tomorrow, tomorrow becomes today again, and every today has an endless tomorrow. Then, when will your determination and your ideal become action and reality?
Shakespeare said, "Time will abandon him who abandons time." I said, "if you abandon today's people, you will abandon him today;" And those who are abandoned today will have no tomorrow. "
If farmers don't cultivate, mow, fertilize and kill insects today, how can they get a bumper harvest in autumn? If doctors do not rescue and treat patients in time today, how can people be healthy in the future? If the cleaners don't clean up the garbage and dust in time today, how can the streets be clean day after day? People's Liberation Army soldiers are not fully armed to fight today. How can there be permanent peace for thousands of families in Qian Qian?
"Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows; I will live tomorrow and everything will be fine. " A few short poems are the crystallization of our ancestors' life experience. The ancients felt this, so they had the diligent stories of "hanging the beam and stabbing the stocks", "fireflies reflecting the snow" and "digging the wall to borrow light". Now that we have superior conditions, shouldn't we cherish and seize every minute of today?
Seize today, that is, seize the opportunity to acquire knowledge; Grasping today means grasping the possibility of invention and creation. Smart, diligent and ambitious people deeply understand that time is life, even more precious than life. They will never waste today's precious time for tomorrow. Edison, the great inventor, always cherished time. He used his spare time selling newspapers in the car to drink some cold water when he was thirsty and wanted to do experiments. If you are hungry, chew a piece of bread; Sleepy, take a nap at my desk. Edison was like this, so were Newton, Madame Curie and Einstein ... all ambitious and accomplished people. They will never dwell on yesterday, let alone wait and see tomorrow, and they will always start today!
On the contrary, for some people, time is like a calendar representing it. After tearing this one, there will be the next one. After tearing this one, there will be the next one, but they just don't know to leave their hard work and study and work on the snow-white calendar. In this way, they all spent their time doing nothing, waiting and waiting from birth to burial. If a person's life is spent in this way, then the lost years will be like a sad tragedy, and the memories left in the history of personal life will be mixed with tears of regret, regret and sadness. ...
The wasted time is damaging the light of life; Work hard in time to open up an ideal road. Friends, don't dwell on yesterday, don't wait and see tomorrow, everything starts from now, starting from today.
Today is the starting point of struggle!
Appreciation: "Tomorrow is tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are; Tomorrow will never come. The world is tired of tomorrow and will go to Qiu Lai to be a veteran in spring; Watch the water flow eastward and watch the sunset; What will tomorrow be like in a hundred years? Listen to my song of tomorrow. " This song "Song of Tomorrow" by Wen Jia of Ming Dynasty has been sung by thousands of people for thousands of years and has been enduring for a long time. It warns and admonishes people to seize the fleeting today and not to pin all their plans and hopes on the unknown tomorrow. On the basis of accurately understanding and grasping the central idea of the original poem, the author puts forward the central argument according to his real feelings after reading it, and then discusses its value today by using examples, quotations, positive and negative comparisons and other argumentation methods. Only by grasping today can we make a difference and achieve something. On the contrary, you will accomplish nothing and regret it. Therefore, we should "start everything from now on, starting today". The article is rich in content, rigorous in structure, strong in argument and fluent in language. The use of rhetorical devices such as metaphor and parallelism greatly enhances the vividness and appeal of the article, which is an award-winning masterpiece worth reading.
Man Jianghong [Yue Fei]
Angry hair rushing to the crown, leaning on the fence and drizzling. Looking up, screaming in the sky, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and the moon. Don't be idle, grow old together and be unhappy.
Jingkang shame, still not snow; When will the courtiers regret it? Driving a long car, Helan Mountain is neglected. Hungry, hungry, eating pork, laughing, thirsty for Hun blood. Leave it at the beginning and clean up the old mountains and rivers. Chaotianque
[Notes]
Fly into a rage: describe extreme anger. Xiaoxiao: Describe the sudden rain. Long whistle: Squeeze your mouth when you are excited and make a crisp and long sound, which is a lyric move of the ancients. Idle: relaxed and casual. Shame on Jingkang: In the second year of Jingkang in Song Qinzong (1 127), Jin Bing captured Bianjing and took Hui Di and Qin away. Helan Mountain: In the present Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Tianque: the view of the building in front of the palace.
[translation]
I was furious and climbed up the railing alone. The wind and rain just stopped. I looked up at the sky. I can't help screaming at the sky, and my heart is full of patriotism. More than 30 years of fame, such as dust, eight thousand miles of life through many storms. My hero, we should seize the time to make contributions to our country, and don't waste our youth until we are old. I can't forget the great humiliation in Jingkang period. When will the resentment as a national civil servant disappear? I want to get on the chariot and break through the lack of Helan Mountain. I was full of ambition and vowed to drink the blood and eat the flesh of the enemy. When I recover the old mountains and rivers, I will report good news to the country.
[brief comment]
This is a famous song handed down from ancient times full of vigor and vitality. It shows the author's fearless heroism and is full of patriotic passion. In the sixth year of Shaoxing (A.D. 1 136), Yue Fei led an army from Xiangyang to the north and successively recovered some counties near Luoyang. The striker forced Bianjing, the old capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, to recover the Central Plains in one fell swoop, and went straight to Huanglongfu, the old nest of Jin State (now the old capital of Jin, Nong 'an, Jilin). But at this point, Song Gaozong was bent on peace and ordered Yue Fei to transfer troops immediately. Yue Fei had to lead an army to Ezhou. He felt that he had missed the opportunity, and it was difficult to realize his ambition of recovering lost ground and getting rid of the shame of Jingkang. He wrote this magnificent poem "Man Jiang Hong" with complicated feelings. Yue Fei, born at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, witnessed the breaking of mountains and rivers in China and the destruction of the country. When teenagers join the army, it is their responsibility to "serve the country faithfully" and "return my mountains and rivers". Turn around and work hard to "clean up the old mountains and rivers." This is the heroic spirit expressed by this word. The first part expresses the lofty sentiments of making contributions to the country by killing the enemy through the railing, and the second part expresses the ambition to avenge Gan Kun and unify the world. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and months, don't wait to see the clouds and months of youth, don't wait to see the head of youth, which is really sad. China's "Thirty" sentence, which has not healed from self-injury, can be remembered through the ages by persuading people to rise in time. However, the "Eight Thousand Li Road" was a severe and fierce national salvation campaign, which still shows its bloody struggle. Therefore, it realizes its ambition of expelling Land Rover and recovering rivers and mountains by "time waits for no one".

Golden thread robe
Author: Du Qiuniang era: Tang genre: Yuefu.
I advise you not to cherish noble Yi, and I advise you to cherish youth.
When the flowers should be folded, we should fold them quickly, and don't wait for the flowers to wither before folding one.
Brief analysis:
This poem is not the best in art, but it is not eye-catching. Poetry can be understood as cherishing yin, and it can also be understood as time traveling eastward, but the theme seems to be to persuade people to progress in time, rather than "teenagers grow old together and are unhappy."
This is a popular lyric in the middle Tang Dynasty. It is said that Li Kun, the envoy of Zhenhai in Yuan Dynasty, loved this word very much, and often ordered my concubine Du Qiuniang to sing at banquets (see Du Mu's Poems of Du Qiuniang and his own notes). The author of the lyrics has been unable to verify. Some anthologies of Tang poetry are titled Du Qiuniang's works or Li Yong's works, which is incorrect.
The meaning of this poem is very simple, which can be summed up as "Don't lose the good times". This is a kind of thought and feeling that everyone has. However, readers feel that although their feelings are simple but strong, they can linger in people's hearts for a long time and have incredible charm. Every poem seems to repeat a single meaning, "Don't lose a good time!" "And every sentence contains subtle changes, repetitive but not monotonous, circular and urgent, forming a beautiful melody.
The first sentence is the same as the second sentence, both of which begin with "advise you" and the word "pity" appears twice, which is the reason for the repetition of the two sentences. However, the first sentence says "no regrets" and the second sentence says "no regrets". The meanings of "Mo" and "Xu" are just the opposite, forming repeated changes. These two sentences are very poetic. "Golden robe" is a gorgeous and precious thing, but it "advises you not to cherish it". It can be seen that there is something far more precious than it. This is the "youth" that "advises you to cherish". Why is this happening? It goes without saying that "an inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold can't buy an inch of time", which is as expensive as gold. "Spin a thousand pieces of silver and come back!" ; However, youth is only once for anyone, and once it is gone, it will never come back. However, the world is puzzled by this, and there are many people who love money like life and waste their time. Over and over again, "Advise the King" pays tribute to the way of hospitality in a conversational tone, with a strong song flavor and touching charm. Two sentences, one negative and one positive, deny the former and affirm the latter, which seem to be divided and combined, forming the first repetition and chanting in the poem, and its melody rhythm is slow.
Three or four sentences constitute the second repetition and chanting. Poetically, it is similar to a sentence or two, or it means "don't lose a good time" In this way, in addition to the repetition between sentences, there is also great circuitous repetition between the upper and lower parts. However, the expressions of the two couplets are different. The first couplet directly expresses the mind, which is the law; The second couplet is figurative and figurative. So repetition still changes. Three and four are not arranged in the same order as one and two, but they are symmetrical in meaning. What if the first sentence says "flowers" and the second sentence says "no flowers"? How to say "Xu" in the previous sentence and "Mo" in the next sentence, there are also pros and cons. The meanings of the two sentences are closely related: "flowers must be folded straight" means "cheer for me through the end of spring" from the front, and "not waiting for flowers to empty branches" means "cheer for me through the end of spring" from the back. They seem to be the same, both of which are the continuation of repeated "advising the monarch", but the intonation rhythm changes from slow to warm. The phrase "can be folded-straight must be folded" has a short rhythm and great strength, and "straight must" is more emphasized than the previous "must". This is a bold song about youth and love. The enthusiasm here is unrestrained, not only frank and bold, but also vivid and beautiful. The word "flower" is seen twice, and the word "fold" is actually seen three times; The clouds of "empty ink" and "empty ink" in the first part of the couplet naturally constitute the beauty of palindromes overlapping. The natural and ingenious repetition of this series of words, sentences and connections makes this poem catchy and the language catchy. In addition to formal beauty, the artistic conception of poetry has changed from a slow cycle to a warm turmoil, which also constitutes the internal rhythm of poetry, which makes people feel more thrilling to read.
There is a kind of lyrics, as simple as one or two sentences, which can gain touching charm through skillful composers with beautiful melodies and repeated chanting; However, the poem Zoysia japonica is simple and not monotonous, with the characteristics of reciprocating changes. As an independent poem, it has been swaying, not to mention being sung by music in the Tang Dynasty. No wonder it is so fascinating and widely circulated.
Another remarkable feature of this poem lies in the novelty of rhetoric. Under normal circumstances, the figurative techniques in old poems are often used in combination at the beginning of the poem; The quatrains are often followed by scenes and feelings. This poem is an abnormal example. Its uniqueness lies in that it is endowed with interest, first of all, comparison, then sentiment, and then scenery. The sentence "don't cherish the golden robe" is a blessing, which conveys feelings with things and has an inspiring effect. The bottom line of the poem is metaphor, which is also a poetic continuation of the previous sentence "You must cherish your youth". Instead of the direct feeling of "life geometry", flowers (the symbol of youth and love) are more beautiful than teenagers, and folding flowers shows great youth, which is vivid and beautiful, so it is far greater than the vulgar idea of "eating, drinking and having fun" itself, creating an image world. This is the expression of art, thinking in images. Missing youth will lead to endless regrets. This meaning can be expressed by idioms such as "the big disciple is sad", but it closely advances to the metaphor of folding flowers, and then creates such an unheard-of strange language as "no flowers are empty". There is not a word of regret and hatred, but the word "empty branch" is more intriguing and artistic!
