Philosophical poetry

Poems that express the poet's philosophical views and reflect philosophical principles. The content of this kind of poetry is deep, subtle, and meaningful, and it often contains the abstract philosophy of philosophy in vivid artistic images. For example:

Zhu Xi's impressions of reading books

As soon as the half-acre square pond is opened, the skylight and cloud shadows linger.

Ask him how clear it is? Come for living water from a source!

Last night there was spring water on the river bank, and the huge swan ship was as light as a dime.

I have always wasted my efforts to move forward, but today I am in the middle of the flow.

The title is Xilinbi (Su Shi)

Viewed horizontally, it looks like a ridge and a peak on the side.

The heights vary from near to far.

I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu,

It’s just because I am in this mountain.

Painted Bamboo in the Weixian County Administration (Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xie)

Lying in the Yazhai, listening to the rustling bamboo,

It is suspected to be the sound of suffering among the people.

These little officials of Caozhou County,

Every branch and leaf is always related to love.

Philosophical materialism believes that consciousness is the reflection of objective things in the human brain. However, when people think about the same objective things, they often form different understandings and conclusions. From the perspective of human subjective factors, it is mainly caused by factors such as people’s different positions, different worldviews, and different knowledge structures. The scene of praying for rain described in the poem tells us very clearly that in a class society, because people belong to different classes and have different class positions, their views (reflections) on many issues are very different. If we want to understand things correctly, we must first look at issues from the standpoint of the fundamental interests of the people.

Title Poem on the Qin (Su Shi, Song Dynasty)

If there is sound on the qin,

Why doesn’t it sound when placed in the box?

If the words are heard on your fingertips,

Why not listen to them on your fingertips?

Philosophical beautiful music is an organic whole, and the whole is composed of several parts and elements that influence and restrict each other. In the music and the sound of the piano, the fingers, the piano, the player's thoughts, feelings, and playing skills are interdependent and indispensable. There is a close connection between them, which affects and restricts each other. Materialist dialectics believes that the fundamental content of universal connections is the connection between contradictory parties within and between things. Therefore, what this piece reveals is the contradictory relationship between the piano, the fingers and the sound of the piano. If the performer is included, then the relationship between the performer's thoughts, feelings and skills and the piano and fingers can be seen as the relationship between the internal contradictions of things (internal causes) and the external contradictions of things (external causes). . The former is the basis for the production of music, and the latter is the condition for the production of music. Both are indispensable.
