Song Dynasty: Su Shi
Play Qingquan Temple in Qishui, next to the temple is Lanxi, and the stream flows west.
Under the mountain, the blue buds are short immersed in the stream, and the sand road between the pines is clean and mud-free. At dusk, the rain is whispering. (Mix Zuo Yi: Mix)
Who says life can't go back to adolescence? The water in front of the door can also flow west! Don't bemoan the passage of old age!
2. Appreciation: Shangque wrote about the elegant scenery and environment of Qingquan Temple. The stream is gurgling at the foot of the mountain, and the bluegrass on the shore has just sprouted delicate buds. The sand road between pine trees is clean and mud-free. It was raining in Mao Mao in the evening, and cuckoo's cry came from outside the temple. At this moment, the author walks by the stream, seeing nothing but business, forgetting the noise of the world and the filth of officialdom, and feeling happy. Arouse the inner love for nature and the aftertaste of life, thus leading to the next philosophical thinking about life.
In the following film, the poet expressed his feelings and comments on the scene of "a stream flowing west". This discussion is not abstract and conceptual, but an impromptu metaphor, writing a philosophy about life in perceptual language. The sentence "Who is Tao" is elicited by rhetorical question: answer with metaphor. People hate the water that grows in the East. Time, like running water, runs day and night to the east and never returns. Youth comes only once in a lifetime. The ancients said, "Flowers will bloom again, and there will never be fewer people." This is an irresistible natural law. However, in a sense, it is impossible for people to be old and strong before they are young. The spirit of self-improvement can often glow with the brilliance of life. So the poet made an exciting comment: "Who said that life is not less?" The running water in front of the door can still go west! "
"White hair" and "yellow chicken" mean that things are in a hurry and the times urge the New Year. Bai Juyi sang in "Drunk Songs" that year: "You can't understand songs, but listen to yellow chickens and the sky. The yellow chicken is ugly when it urges the dawn, and it urges the year before by day. The red ribbon around her waist was unstable and Zhu Yan lost it in the mirror. " Here, the author does the opposite, hoping that people will not lament self-harm and aging. It should be said that this is a declaration of aging, a yearning and pursuit for life and the future, and a call for youthful vitality. In the relegated life, Su Shi's love for life and broad-minded and optimistic personality are reflected by singing such inspiring songs under the deep tone of being hurt and dying.
