Frustrated in the examination room, Wen Xian wrote a famous poem.
When his son Wen Xian grew up, he followed the same path. After another failure in the imperial examination, he returned to Chongqing Temple, stayed there temporarily, and glumly drank alone to drown his sorrows. Then he wrote a poem and reached the top.
After getting drunk, he climbed into the attic of the temple and wrote a poem. Legend has it that it was because of this poem that he was appreciated by the prime minister of the dynasty and reached the top of the world.
This poem goes like this.
This poem is entitled "On the Wall of Chongqing Temple", and the full text is as follows: Ten valleys are waiting for one, and every six months. Hair on the temples is like snow, and my heart is dead. You are still the first person in Chang 'an! Next, let's interpret the meaning of this poem in detail.
The first two sentences of this poem are about his wandering experience in a foreign land. He went to Beijing to take the exam, lived alone in the temple, and cut off contact with his family thousands of miles away for half a year. Being in a difficult situation and far away from his family, the poet's inner depression reached the extreme. If you can go to high school this time, all the hard work will be worth it. It's a pity that he failed the list again, so he sent out the feeling of "hair like snow, heart like death".
On the one hand, "his hair is like snow" refers to his age, on the other hand, it also implies that he has experienced vicissitudes; And "My Heart is Dead" is a true portrayal after he came to the end again. The whole poem is full of grief and indignation, which expresses the voices of many tried and tested talents.
