Intuitive interpretation of literature everyone

Liu Yuanzhao

Li Zehou's sentence in "The Meaning of Su Shi" that "in fact, Su Shi's literary achievements are not high" has aroused discussion in the circle of friends. Li Zehou uses Qu Yuan, Tao Yuanming, Li Bai, and Du Fu as references, and he may mean that Su Shi's poetry is inferior to the three of them, but he also says that Su Shi is an all-rounder. Su Shi is the "all-around champion", take every single item out, maybe not the first, second, but at least can go into the top ten. Each individual term is not the first, but when these individual terms are combined, it is not simply addition, it is multiplication. Explain what? In today's fashion parlance, it is called "cross-border" and develops in the "marginal" zone.

There are also friends who disagree with Li Zehou's views. Think that looking at the mountains and seeing the water, everyone loves. What is "literary achievement"? It seems that there is no absolute definition, alpine flowing water, yangchun white snow, different positions, different visions, and different cognitions. A friend named Milan in Zhengzhou put it interestingly, she said:

"Li Bai is a young temperament, EDG, NB! 2035 Take the high-speed train to Taiwan! Du Fu is a prime-age temperament, are the cabbages all stored? What are the strategic preparations for the United States? Su Shi is a middle-aged temperament, the cold winter has arrived, live every day well, and the small stove is well supported. Tao Qian is an old man's temperament and is ready to shoot snow scenes in the vegetable garden. ”

Wow, it amused me all at once. Time and space span thousands of years, using today's people as an analogy, with the life and living conditions of today's people to compare, vivid images, elusive has become elusive, a confused water suddenly became a rainbow after the rain.

Four people use three age groups to compare, Li Bai is a youth, and the comparison is very fashionable, EDG, NB! 2035 Take the high-speed train to Taiwan! Can't help but make people laugh. Like? Seriously think about it, there are still some points, such as Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine", "Life must be full of joy", "Thousands of gold scattered and returned", "Will have to drink three hundred cups", "I hope that I will not wake up for a long time", "Ten thousand drunken and humorous", "Five flowers and horses, a thousand golden furs, Hu'er will be exchanged for fine wine", how the temperament of young people, heroic, soaring bulls, irresistible.

Du Fu's hut

Du Fu and Su Shi are prime-aged and middle-aged (I thought that prime-age and middle-aged can be merged), a middle-aged man who did not want to open, worried about the country and the people all day, concerned about state affairs and family affairs, and had a heavy heart. One is a middle-aged man who wants to open (in fact, he does not want to open in action), the world looks down, wants to be indifferent and cannot give up. Milan said of them both: one was "Are the cabbage all stored?" What are the strategic preparations for the United States? One is that "the cold winter has arrived, live every day well, the small stove is well supported", history is linked to reality, and real life is used in the evaluation of historical figures. Du Fu's "Song of the Hut Broken by the Autumn Wind", "The bedside house leaks no dry place, the rain foot is like hemp, and the foot of the rain is not broken" "Ande Guangsha is tens of millions, sheltering the world from the cold and the people are happy"; Su Shi's "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Nostalgia" "The old country is wandering, the amorous should laugh at me, and the early birth of Huafa." Life is like a dream, a statue is still in the moon", why not the best portrayal and footnote?

Su Shi's Chibi

Tao Yuanming is old age, old age is to return to the truth, is the plainness behind the big rivers, is a deep pool under the cliff waterfall. Milan said that it was a snow scene in the vegetable garden, and the fun was in the daily life that looked down on everything. This is the life of ordinary people, and once the life of ordinary people enters the realm of poets, then this ordinary life is sublimated in an instant. Tao Yuanming's "Drinking (Part 5)":

The knot is in the human realm, and there is no traffic or horse noise.

Q. How can you do it? The heart is far away from self-deprecation.

Under the eastern fence of the chrysanthemum, you can leisurely see the South Mountain.

The mountain atmosphere is good day and night, and the birds are returning.

There is truth in this, to discern what has been forgotten.

No flowery words, no thrills, no lingering sadness, everyday, just everyday. I did not hide in the deep mountains and old forests, but still in the "human realm", that is, the earthly world of chai rice oil and salt, facing the noise of cars and horses, but there was no noise of cars and horses, why? Because the heart is quiet and peaceful, the so-called "big hidden in the city." Chrysanthemums, fences, distant mountains, mountains, birds, these ordinary things, are the "true meaning" of life, what is the "true meaning"? I want to say it clearly but I don't know how to say it, I simply don't say anything, I don't want anything, I don't want anything.

The young man is Li Bai, the middle-aged and prime-aged man is Du Fu and Su Shi, and the old man is Tao Yuanming. That's right, it's not right. Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, and Tao Yuanming are also diverse, and under different circumstances in different periods, their performances and expressions are not exactly the same, they are only relative. Physiological age and psychological age are also inconsistent, some people are biologically young, psychological age is large, some people physiological age is large, psychological age is small, but it is only relative.

Li Bai drunkenly moon

The poems of Tao Yuanming, Li Bai, Du Fu, and Su Shi are my favorite, not just a few of them. Milan's interpretation is funny, humorous, handy, vulgar and elegant, so I asked Milan for advice, asked her to say what she thought of Qu Yuan, Li Qingzhao, and Liu Yong, and continued to make analogies. Soon the answer came. Milan says:

"Qu Yuan is not a human, he is a gust of wind, soaring incense through the world; Li Qingzhao is not a person, she is a tree and a flower, shallow light love Qingrou; Liu Yong is not a person, he is a flood of water, clear into the hearts of the people."

What are Qu Yuan, Li Qingzhao, and Liu Yong? It turns out that they are not "people", that is, they are not ordinary diet men and women, one is "a gust of wind", one is "a tree and a flower", and the other is "a flood of water". There is no need to ask which age the wind, flowers, and water belong to, the flexible answer is intuition, the most authentic and true, no need to reason, argument, the original meaning of life, only belongs to the original himself, has nothing to do with other people. As Liu Yong said, "Even if there are a thousand styles, who do you say?" ”
