There are few sun and moon in Beishan, and the vegetation is bitter and weathered.

Poor people are suffering from many hardships, and eating plums has sour intestines.

All customs are round, and one is still learning.

Often afraid of extinction, spring leaves turn yellow in autumn.

Great sages hold high wisdom, and public candles are selfless.

In the dark room before dawn, you can cry your lines empty.

It's rare to see the sun and the moon in North Mangshan, Luoyang, and the fierce wind and frost can make the vegetation there bitter.

The life of the poor is very difficult, and eating plums happens to be sour in the stomach.

Everyone in the world is smooth, but they are still old-fashioned and don't follow the crowd.

I often worry that the army will be wiped out and the green leaves in spring will turn into yellow leaves in autumn.

The great sage is like a mirror, and the candle shines on the earth, which is selfless.

Guang Xiao couldn't take photos in the darkroom. He walked alone in the dark, tears streaming down his face.

Appreciation and analysis

Sheren in Shangdaxi is a five-character poem written by Meng Jiao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Daxi is a compound surname; Give up people for official positions. Dry hope poem is a kind of poem written by ancient literati to promote themselves, similar to the present self-recommendation letter. Meng Jiao had an eventful life and a bumpy career. Therefore, he hopes to present his talent and ambition by presenting poems to Mr. Dashishe, so as to introduce him.

"There are few sun and moon in Beishan, and the vegetation is bitter." The first two paragraphs show the natural environment of Mangshan Mountain in Luoyang, where the poet is located, and set off the loneliness and sadness in the poet's heart. It is also dangerous to say that "the poor are in a difficult situation and eating plums has sour intestines". In the Book of Changes, hexagrams are two hurdles, and "heavy hurdles" means adding risks to risks, with many obstacles. These two sentences describe the social environment in which the poet lives. "All customs are round, and one is still learning", and round means smooth. Everyone in the world is smooth, but they are still old-fashioned and don't follow the crowd. "Always afraid of extinction, spring leaves turn yellow in autumn", and the poet sticks to the road. However, if you leave the secular world, you will inevitably fall into the dilemma of being frustrated and abandoned. "Daxian grasps the wisdom, and the public candle is selfless." The Great Sage refers to the Great West Sheren. The great sage is like a mirror, and the candle shines on the earth, which is selfless. The last two sentences, "I don't know in the darkroom, I can't do anything in the darkroom", echo the previous article and write my own dilemma again.

Brief introduction of the author

Meng Jiao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was of Han nationality. There are more than 500 existing poems, most of which are short five-character ancient poems, which are represented as Ode to a Wanderer. Known as the "poet's prison", it is also as famous as Jia Dao, and is called "Jiao Han Dao Bo". In the ninth year of Yuanhe, he died in Ganxiang (now Lingbao, Henan). Zhang Ji married Mr Yao Zhen privately. Meng Jiao's ancestral home is Pingchang (now northeast of Linyi, Shandong). He lives in Luoyang (now Henan). When his father Ting Jun was a lieutenant in Kunshan County, he was born in the suburbs. Meng Jiao lived in poverty in his early years and traveled to Hubei, Hunan and Guangxi. When Zhang Jianfeng was guarding Zhenyuan Xuzhou, the suburbs went to pay homage. At the age of 46 (45), he began to take the examination of Jinshi, and there is a poem "After Graduation": "The past is not boastful, but today it is endless; Spring breeze is full of horseshoe disease, and you can see all the Chang 'an flowers in one day. ".Then return to the east and go to Bianzhou (now Kaifeng, Henan) and Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). In the seventeenth year of Zhenyuan (80 1 year), he served as the governor of Liyang in the south of the Yangtze River. His masterpiece Ode to a Wanderer was written in Liyang. I used to like writing poems when I was in office. If I can't write poetry, I won't go out. Therefore, I am called a "poetry prisoner" and don't care about Cao's affairs. And was fined half a salary. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Henan people Yin and Zheng Yuqing tried their best to help them compete for land and water transportation in Henan and settled in Luoyang. At the age of 60, his mother died. Zheng Yuqing guarded the apricot garden and acted as a staff officer, trying to evaluate things. Jiao was invited to Ganxiang (now Lingbao, Henan), and Yuanhe died of sudden illness in nine years. Meng Jiao's friend Han Yu and others raised 100 yuan for his camp burial, and Zheng Yuqing sent someone to give it to 300 yuan, "for the widow's eternal dependence".
