Su Shi and He Zi nostalgic from Mianchi

How is it like knowing everywhere in life? Just like a flying dragon stepping on slush.

Fingers and claws are accidentally left on the mud. How can Hongfei care about the things?

The old monk has died and a new pagoda has been built, and there is no reason to see the old inscriptions on the broken walls;

Do you still remember the rugged past, with long roads and people trapped and neighing donkeys?

Appreciation

When you are alive, you are always wandering around. What is it like? Just like the swan goose flying back and forth, if it occasionally stops for a moment on the snow, it may leave some traces of its claws, but after the swan goose flies away, who knows whether it is in the east or the west? The old monk who once entertained us warmly has died and has become a new pagoda in the temple; and the wall where we once wrote our poems has also become dilapidated, and there are no traces of the poems we wrote on. Still remember the scene when we were walking on the road that day? On the long road ahead, people are trapped and donkeys are neighing. The rationale and interest of this poem are mainly reflected in the first four sentences. From this, "Xueni Hongzhao" became an idiom that was widely recited by later generations. These four sentences are further comments on the life sentiments in Su Zhe's original poem. In Su Shi's view, not only is the specific life trace uncertain, but the whole life is also full of unknowability, just like a swan that occasionally stops on the snow during its flight and leaves its mark, but then the snow melts and everything is lost. exist. The old monk’s new pagoda and the old inscriptions on the broken walls are all just claw marks in the mud. This kind of argument seems to have the color of nihilism, and it is the same as all dharma in Buddhism. The combination of causes and conditions will cause them to be completed, and the separation of causes and conditions will destroy them. All appearances are false and have no essential difference.

Seeing the Moon and Ziyou in the Mid-Autumn Festival

Su Shi Seeing the Moon and Ziyou in the Mid-Autumn Festival

Before the bright moon rises high over the mountains, the auspicious light will grow white hairs thousands of feet away.

Before the cup is full, silver surges out, and chaotic clouds break away like crashing waves.

Whoever washes his eyes for God should use thousands of dendrobium water from Minghe River.

Then I ordered to look coldly at the people in the world, and I couldn't bear to see it.

Mars in the southwest is like a projectile, and its horns and tails are as bright as a dragon and a dragon.

Tonight I can't see anything, but the fireflies are fighting to clear the cold.

Who's boat is approaching Bian in ancient times? Thousands of lights make fish and dragons change at night.

Chase the waves carelessly through twists and turns, go to the festival with a low head and follow the song board.

The green light disappears and turns to the front mountain, but the waves and the wind will not be strong again.

The bright moon is easy to be low and people are easy to disperse, but when you return and drink wine, you will pay more attention to it.

The moonlight in front of the hall becomes clearer and clearer, and the grass in the throat is humming with cold dew.

There is no one behind the curtain, except for old Chu who is mute under the window.

Don’t be ashamed of poverty in Nandu, and there are several people who write poems about the moon.

The personnel affairs of the Ming Dynasty follow the sunrise, and suddenly I have a dream of a Yaotai guest.

Appreciation

This long song has fourteen couplets and twenty-eight lines, which can be said to be the longest Mid-Autumn Festival poem. The poem is written from the rising to the setting of the moon, which not only vividly depicts the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also vividly describes the personnel and events of the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the poem, a cup of unfinished silver surges, and it is like a crashing wave. Whoever washes his eyes for God should have a unique imagination with the Qianhu water of the Fei Ming River. A thousand lights make the fish and dragon transform at night, and he goes to the festival with a low head and sings the song. Telling about the folk customs, I read it again when I came back to drink wine. How many people expressed their feelings about the poem written on the moon? The whole poem is intertwined with scenery, people and myself, the temperament is upbeat, the poetic mood is frustrated, the low turns to the hearty, and the excitement turns to decline. Euphemistic, it is actually the best work among Mid-Autumn Festival poems chanting to the moon.

The story of Diyuan Mingyun's son

Huang Tingjian The story of Diyuan Mingyun's son

After half a lifetime of friendship, how many people are drawn into Ling Yan?

The spring breeze and spring rain blow through the eyes, and the water from the north and south of the Yangtze River slaps the sky.

If you want to understand Tongzhang Xing’s question, you must know your close friend Xu Wangnian.

The ridge makes everyone think and hate, and the sun and the moon make the snow fall all over the mountain.

Translation and annotations

1. Yuan Ming: the name of Huang Tingjian’s brother Huang Dalin. Ziyou: The name of Su Che, Su Shi's younger brother. In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, there was a poem sent to Ziyou, who was supervising the salt and wine tax in Junzhou (now Gao'anxuan, Jiangxi Province). Tingjian wrote the same poem according to his rhyme order.

2. Lingyan: The name of the pavilion, located in the Taiji Palace of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once ordered the famous figure painter Yan Liben to paint the portraits of twenty-four people including the hero Chang Sun Wuji in the pavilion to commend them for their service. These two sentences mean that they have been friends for many years, but they were both defeated in political battles. Time passed like water, but they had no chance to serve the country.

3. These two sentences describe the scene of blooming flowers and rising rivers, because they express his feelings of longing for parting and lovesickness. This poem was written in Taihe County in the spring of 1082 (the fourth year of Yuanfeng), so it describes the spring scenery.

4. In ancient times, when serving as an official, the seal belt was worn around the waist (the Han Dynasty stipulated that the county magistrate should have a copper seal and an ink ribbon); when he resigned, he had to take it off. Therefore, if you want to understand the bronze medal, you want to resign from Zhixuan. Su Shi said in the title of the poem "Meeting with Brothers and Sons" with Su Che: Ziyou has been broad-minded since he was young, and he has a talent for shortcuts, and he has learned the secret of nourishing people for a long time. It can be seen that Ziyou once sought immortality and learned Taoism. To practice Taoism is to learn the Tao from Ziyou. OK: will. Shiyou: A friend who is as firm as a stone refers to Ziyou. Wangnian: Older people make friends with younger people. Regardless of the age difference, it is called Wangnianwen or Wangnianyou. Su Che is seven years older than Huang Tingjian. Xu Wangnian said that he expected Ziyou to agree to his request.

5. "The Book of Songs Ya Changdi": The order of the spine is still there, and the brothers are in urgent need. Chi Ling, the name of a water bird, has its head and tail shaking in correspondence, which is a metaphor for brothers helping each other when they are in danger. This sentence means that Ziyou misses Su Shi just as he misses Yuan Ming. Both of them hate that they can't get together often when they return home together.

6. Snow Man Dian: a metaphor for a head full of white hair.

Appreciation

This poem was written in 1081 (the fourth year of Yuanfeng) when Huang Tingjian knew Taihe County in Jizhou (now Taihe, Jiangxi). He was thirty-seven years old. At this time, Su Che (Ziyou) was demoted and was supervising the salt and wine tax in Junzhou (the seat of governance is now Gao'an, Jiangxi). Huang Tingjian's brother Huang Yuanming (named Dalin) sent a poem to Ziyou. The first two sentences said: "The fame of bells and tripods floods the treasury, and the imperial court writes wind and smoke in calligraphy." Huang Tingjian wrote this poem in rhyme.

The first two sentences of this poem say: Although we have been friends for half a lifetime, time flies by. How many of us have established a successful career? The passing water is an implicit reference to the Analects of Confucius: The Master said on the river: The passing person is like a man who does not give up day and night. Lingyan Pavilion is the place where Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty painted portraits of his heroes in memory of them. The writing style of these two sentences is proud and grand, and the second sentence is unexpectedly followed, without realizing that it is right (for Fang Dongshu's comments, see Volume 7 of "Xu Zhaomei Zhan Yan"). The third and fourth sentences describe spring scenery, with flowers blooming and rivers swelling, and the feeling of long-term nostalgia is visible in the words, just like the coloring of a painting. Although Huang Tingjian's poems are fresh in meaning and strong in writing, they are sometimes obscure and lack the atmosphere of deep water and lush forests in the Tang Dynasty (Liu Xizai's words). The splendor and splendor of a couplet like the spring breeze are rare and valuable in Huang's poems.

The fifth and sixth sentences describe the embrace. The bronze seal refers to the seal of the county magistrate. Shi Rong quoted from "Han Guan Yi": the rank of the county magistrate is five hundred stones, and the bronze seal has an ink ribbon. The literal meaning of "asking" comes from "Zhuangzi Zaiyou": Huangdi heard that Guangchengzi was above Kongtong, so he went to see him and said, "I dare to ask about the essence of the Tao." Stone friends refer to like-minded friends. Pan Yue's "Golden Valley Poems": Send a cent to a close friend, and the white head will return to the same place. ("Jin Shu Pan Yue Biography") Wangnian refers to speculation among friends, regardless of the age difference. Liang Hexun was weak but talented, so Fan Yun praised him very much, and they became friends with him for many years ("Liang Shu Literature Biography of He Xun"). These two lines of poems say that the poet wants to resign from his position as county magistrate and return home to study Taoism. He expects that Ziyou will definitely approve of it, which expresses his close friendship. Although the literal meaning of the question is "Zhuangzi", the meaning of Tao here is not limited to the so-called Tao in "Zhuangzi", but should refer to all the exquisite and wonderful Tao about improving morality and cultivating one's career. It also shows from this that the poet’s use of allusions is not necessarily limited to the original meaning of the source of the allusion. The last two sentences turn around and say, you and I all have the desire to be brothers. We want to go back but can't, so we have to let time go by and cause gray hair. Ji Ling is a kind of water bird (Ling is read in the second tone). Zhu Xi's "Ji Ling" says: "Ji Ling sings when it flies and shakes when it walks. It means urgency and difficulty, so it is used to get up." Later generations often used the ridge order to refer to brothers. The top of the mountain is covered with snow, and the top of the head is covered with white hair.

Nostalgia

Du Fu Nostalgia

In the underground Susi industry, love belongs to you. After the chaos, there will be death and life.

The old man knows the bright mirror and looks at the white clouds with sadness. Since the loss of Ci Bo, I have stopped updating my thesis.
