Appreciation of elegy

Elegy is written from a short life, and this one is no exception. "When you were born, you traveled all over the country, and you never abandoned nakano. Go to Gaotang and stay in the grave. " The first four sentences summarize its sudden life and death, but at the same time they contain the meaning of impermanence. It conveys the brand of social life at that time, not ordinary words. Judging from the lyrics, the person the author is holding is probably a man with lofty ideals who wants to make a difference. When he was alive, he went to Beijing to study and seek official positions. The result was not said, but the circumstances of his death were sad and chilling. A word "abandon" summarizes the ending of the dead. "Zhouyi" says: "Ancient burial in nakano, thick clothes." Nakano is a wilderness. But the word used here is not "burial" but "abandonment". It is conceivable that a person's life-long efforts will be forgotten and abandoned after death, which proves that life is short, the world is cold, and fame and fortune are hypocritical. The sentence "Chao Fa" originally came from Wang Chong's Lun Heng: "The birth of relatives is above the halls of life; His death is also buried under the grave. " Gaotang is the main hall of the abbot; Yellow, the ancients thought that the sky was Xuandihuang and the spring was underground, so it was called yellow. Borrowed here, life is short with the words "morning hair" and "staying late". This reflects people's general psychological feelings at that time. The poet was in charge of Wei IV, and the world was in chaos and turmoil. Therefore, opening a four-sentence song has both mourning and hurting time.

The sudden change of life and death makes the poet explore the virtue of heaven and earth and the way of life. So that leads to the last four sentences. "Go to the grave in the daytime, and rest on the horse" is a summary of the above meaning and a metaphor for the end of the journey of life. Yu Garden is the place where the sun entered in ancient mythology. "Huainanzi Astronomy": "The sun enters the Yuyuan Garden and begins with the Pu of Dream Valley." Hanging a car is a trailer and parking. According to this ancient legend, the sun is put in a car and sent from east to west. At dusk, it is "the trailer stops." The sentence "Although nature is a god, Anke can refer to it again" is the main point of the whole article. Heaven and earth naturally give birth to all things, which can "see what people can't see" and "know what people don't know", also known as "God". (See Huai Nan Zi Gao) However, it can't come back to life after all. What I mean here is the individual existence of human beings. Although the nature of heaven and earth has the virtue of being good at life, there is no partiality for human beings who claim to be "good at the five elements" and "true to the heart of heaven and earth" (see Li Yun). Life only belongs to people once, which is a way of life that the gods can't change.

The last four sentences are the main idea of the application "I can save myself safely". People not only can't regenerate, but also rot quickly. "It means that human remains rot in the soil. There is a sentence in Lu Ji's elegy that "all the muscles are ants, and beauty is extinct forever", which can be used as evidence. Since ancient times, who left here "is a summary of the whole article, mourning for the dead, grief and self-mourning." Today he helped the coffin to be buried, and tomorrow he will be sent to rest in the loess, and he will continue to live. Without exception, he did sing the elegy of life.

The theme of the whole poem is not new today, but it reflects the awakening and maturity of people's ideology and culture at that time. Primitive people did not understand the horror of death, and the theology of Han Dynasty believed that the soul could not die. Wei Jin people suffered social unrest and their own experiences at that time. They no longer believe in theological superstition, but feel the shortness of life and the impermanence of the world, which is an important aspect of their self-awareness awakening. They no longer think that death is a happy thing, but a helpless and painful destination. From this, I understand that death is an inevitable fate and the complete end of life. After death, fame is empty, and both body and mind are destroyed. Everyone can't escape this ending. Therefore, it was a common theme in poetry at that time to express the pain of life and the infinite nostalgia for life. This elegy is the product of this atmosphere at that time, which shows people's general mourning psychology. Of course, its spread and choice in Selected Works of Zhaoming is not only due to the generality and modernity of its theme, but also depends on the artistic charm of the poem itself. This poem is unpretentious and complete from beginning to end. And Long song is crying, shocking. Later generations commented that this song was "pale and sad" and the word was "extremely steep". (He Chao's "Yimen Reading Secretary") points out the touching place of this article in art.
