During the Southern Song Dynasty, when the Jin army invaded and the people did not have a good life, many Confucian students with both moral integrity and ability had no way to serve the country, so they had to retreat into the Shushan Mountain and write books, among which the more influential readers should first recommend Zheng Qiao. Zheng Qiao has been very ambitious since he was a child, he loves to read and is determined to serve the country, but because of the hopelessness of his advancement, he began his academic research career.
In addition to being busy, poets often go out to play. Sometimes I go to the famous mountains and rivers with my friends and family, and sometimes I go boating alone on the lake. When you are in a good mood, you will also improvise poems. The following two six-character poems of the Southern Song Dynasty Talent are naturally simple, but they are not conventional, showing their idyllic nostalgia.
Man Xing (Part 1) Song Dynasty: Zheng Qiao Flowers are idle pouring out of wine, and people are poor in front of them. The remnants have no luxury at all, and the years migrate to rely on the bamboo reeds.
Zheng Qiao has a wide range of interests, and he often spends a lot of time sorting out reading notes. After more than thirty years of painstaking efforts, he finally wrote more than a thousand volumes, which can be described as a vast and all-encompassing work, of which the most influential is the "Tongzhi".
This historical masterpiece has a clear context, tells the development process from ancient times to five generations, has high documentary value and historical value, and also lays the foundation for his lofty position in the literary world. These two poems are the author's relaxed mood in his leisure time, splashing ink, and writing it in one go.
The first poem vividly describes the author's life of retreat, idle, a glass of wine, wandering under the flowers, and opening his heart. Alcohol can help, the scenery is intoxicating, and the poet, although his life is hard, is poor and happy, and never tells about poverty in front of people.
As a literary scholar, he is more concerned about the fullness of his heart, as long as he can eat enough, he does not care about coarse tea and light rice; his clothes can be covered, and he does not care about his worn clothes. Qingfeng Mingyue is his friend; the fishing tree cultivates and reads, but life has a taste.
When the poet was young, he was very eager to enter the career, and he wrote to the imperial court and introduced himself. However, the author was a grass farmer, and no one recommended him, and the letter sent out finally sank into the sea. At the same time, due to the constant war, the poet could not go out to take the exam, so the dream of youth could not be realized.
The last two sentences express his wish for the rest of his life, "no extravagance at all", expressing that the author has long forgotten fame and fortune, and only wants to read and write quietly. In the sea of books, he feels the depth of the thoughts of his predecessors; in the landscape, he experiences the purpose of nature.
Green mountains and green waters can be poetically inhabited; blue sky and white clouds also make the heart quiet. The years pass and the time is long, but the poet is like a bamboo arrow, but also like a pine and cypress with a heart, although lonely, but can leave a name in history.
Man Xing (Part 2) Neighbor gu a few slightly drunk, tan belly north window short sleep. The wind sends loose waves to the ears, and the dream butterflies flutter back.
There are all kinds of ways of life in the world, some people are busy every day for fame and fortune, and some people are running around for their livelihood. In fact, life is short, you need to leave yourself a little leisure, on the one hand to think about the problem, on the other hand to enjoy a happy and leisurely life. Everyone is to be their own master, not driven by others every day from morning to night.
Zheng Qiao has written countless books, and every time he finishes writing a draft, he will check it repeatedly and think twice, so he also gains a lot from it. After writing a book, he sold wine and meat to reward himself.
The first two sentences describe the state after he was slightly drunk, the poet returned from drinking, poured himself a drink, drank three times, felt a little dizzy, so he came to the north window to sleep. The surroundings were silent, the poet rarely floated for half a day, and his family did not want to disturb him.
At this time, the cool breeze and the loose waves soon woke him up to a good dream. The poet slept soundly, even if the time was very short, but when he woke up, he felt very relaxed. He rubbed his eyes, and suddenly remembered that he was wandering in the sea of flowers in the illusion, surrounded by a rich fragrance and butterflies. But when he looked around again, it was still a familiar scene, and he couldn't help but laugh.
These two six-word poems are naturally simple, but they are not conventional. The poet usually lives a frugal and indifferent life, writing and working tirelessly every day, and although his mood is good and bad, he is not disturbed by the world, which shows the poet's idyllic heart. A person is immersed in creation, there are pains and pleasures, joys and sorrows. He not only regrets that he has not been able to develop in his career, but also glad that he can have a quiet environment to write books and realize his dreams!
