Wei Yingwu is a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, we are familiar with this old gentleman, mostly because of the famous textbook poem "Chuzhou Xijian", which is a seven-word poem, although Wei Yingwu's poem is the most famous, but it is not his best poem, Wei Yingwu's mastery is five-word poetry, even Su Shi is his little fan, Su Shi once wrote a poem boasting: "Lotte is three thousand long and short, but I love Wei Lang's five-character poem", saying that Bai Juyi can write long and short stories, and various genres are also handy, but I only love Wei Yingwu's five-word poems. The five-word poem emphasizes the rhyme and the seven-word poem emphasizes the tone, which shows that Wei Yingwu is a very emotional poet, just like the sentence that swept the Internet for a while: "I have a pot of wine, which is enough to comfort the wind and dust." The original sentence is from Wei Yingwu's poem.
"Jane LuZhi (zhì)" Poor snow white song, did not meet the acquaintance. Under the trepidation of the brigade, wading along the huaihai seashore. The stream trees contain morning rain, and the mountain birds are still spring. I have a scoop of wine to soothe the wind and dust.
This poem has been analyzed very thoroughly by netizens when it was popular, and we are talking about another five-word poem today, one of which can also be seen as the first version of "I have a pot of wine, which can comfort the wind and dust", because this poem may be written earlier.
Send all pepper mountain Taoists Nowadays, the county is cold, and the mountain guest is ignored. The bottom of the stream bundled thorn salary, return to boil white stone. If you want to hold a scoop of wine, you will be far away from the wind and rain. The leaves are full of empty mountains, where to find traces.
Quanjiao is a place name in Chuzhou, Junzhai is the place where Wei Yingwu lived when he did the Chuzhou Thorn History, this day was another day of cold wind and cold rain, I suddenly remembered the "mountain guest", he lived a very poor life, every day in the mountain stream to collect firewood, "return to boil white stone", "boiling white stone" is an allusion in the "Legend of the Immortals", saying that there is a Taoist monk living in the White Stone Mountain, boiling white stone for food every day, so he is called "Mr. White Stone".
Wei Yingwu uses this allusion here, of course, the mountain guest is not necessarily really boiling white stone, but it is definitely doing alchemy, serving the five stones and other kinds of cultivation, the Tang Dynasty was popular for monasticism, even Yang Guifei once became a female Taoist, this mountain guest is a Taoist, it is not surprising to do these things.
The first four poems remember the Taoist monks, and at the same time highlight the taoist monks' living conditions of poverty and happiness, Wei Yingwu thought of this, and he sighed: "If you want to hold a scoop of wine, far away from the wind and rain", these two sentences can be seen as the first version of "I have a pot of wine, enough to comfort the wind and dust".
I want to visit you with a scoop of wine so that you can get a little comfort on the night of the storm, but "the leaves are full of empty mountains, where to find traces", the mountains in the wind and rain are full of fallen leaves, it is difficult to find people, where are you in the mountains? The poem is titled "Sending poems", these two sentences point out the reasons for sending poems, I don't know where to find you, so I have to write a poem to express my thoughts.
Jia Dao has a poem "The Seeker Does Not Meet", "Matsushita asked the boy, and the teacher took the medicine." Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and unknown. Is it very close to the mood of Wei Yingwu's poem?
The feelings of this poem are very sincere, the first sentence starts with "cold", because of the cold, so I think of my friends, and then I go on layer by layer, thinking of my friends, so I imagine his life, because he is poor, so he wants to visit and comfort, because "the leaves are full of empty mountains" can't find anyone, so he sends poems.
As a little fan, Su Dongpo also once imitated the last two sentences of this poem, as a sentence of "Sending words to the people in the nunnery, flying in the air without a trace", but even if you are Su Dongpo, at least in the artistic conception of these two poems, it is indeed not comparable to Wei Yingwu, and poets of all generations have commented that Wei Yingwu's poem is a "language divine realm", and if posterity wants to sing harmony, it will appear clumsy, not because Su Dongpo's talent is not enough, but because the absolute singing is the absolute singing, and it should not be sung, so "Dongpo deliberately learned it and finally did not look like it." ”
Poor Su Dongpo, who has been sought after for thousands of years, did not expect to plant a heel here, no wonder he "loves Wei Lang's five-character poem", it is indeed better than ah!
