The poetry of Zhou Zuoren and Hu Shi

Although Zhou Zuoren is the leader of the vernacular of the New Culture Movement, he has been reading the Four Books and Five Classics with his teacher in the Sanwei Bookstore since he was a child, and the foundation of Traditional Chinese studies is very solid, so his old style poems are very well written.

The literati of the old era had a confucian atmosphere and would recite poems to express their feelings in a specific atmosphere, and Zhou Zuoren wrote two poems when he was fifty years old, which were published in lin Yutang's magazine (human world).

The first one

Monks in the past life are now at home without changing their robes for robes

The streets listen to ghosts all day long and learn to draw snakes under the window

Growing old and playing antiques for no reason Idle with the cultivation of flax

If others ask what they mean, they will go to the cold fast to eat bitter tea

From the poem, we can see that the fifty-year-old Zhou Zuoren lived a relatively Buddha-like life, lived comfortably with encounters, loved to paint snakes, collected antiques, and had the traditional confucian and Taoist traditional cultural ideas of Confucianism and Taoism that were born like a dream bubble like a stone record of Jia Baoyu...

Second song

Half Confucian, half Shakya, bald head and no robe

Middle-aged Italian window head grass Outside the road career cave snake

Tu Xian lowered his head and bit the garlic without hindering the table to pick sesame seeds

Talking about foxes and saying that ghosts are commonplace only owes work to eat and talk about tea

From Mr. Zhou Zuoren's poems, we can see that his life is peaceful and true, he loves to drink tea, and his life is quite easy-going. Eat garlic and plant sesame seeds, eat and drink enough while drinking bitter tea while telling the story of the ghost fox Zhi monster....

Mr. Hu Shi read two poems by Mr. Zhou Zuoren, and yixing Shan immediately wrote two poems:

Sir at home is like a monk

Although the sand robes

I can find a taste from antiques

Not used to fists to kill snakes

Eat meat should prevent chewing friends

Beat the oil to plant sesame seeds

I want to cherish Shaoxing wine

Invite guests to eat bitter tea

In both poems, Mr. Hu Shi is joking with Mr. Bitter Tea, saying that you invite friends to your home to talk nonsense, you entertain friends but do not use shaoxing wine from your hometown, and high-ranking friends are full of bitter tea! Speaking of being a big official and a great literati, Mr. Kucha Zhou Zuoren loves to collect antiques and can grow sesame seeds to make sesame oil, elegant and peaceful.

The low-key style of life is not that of a monk but also of a monk who practices at home.

Mr. Zhou Zuoren Also humorously said that he was a bald head and a monk without robes!
