Poetry hunting every day
Pay attention to the reading dogs
On December 18, 1021, Wang Anshi, a generation of politicians, thinkers, writers, and reformers, was born into a family of eunuchs in Linchuan, Jiangxi. Twenty years later, he stepped into his career, ten years later asked the emperor for a letter of ten thousand words to reform the government, and ten years later, the history of the vigorous Wang Anshi transformation law was fully implemented, thus setting off a thousand years of praise and criticism controversy. To this day, the merits and demerits of Wang Anshi's transformation of the fa are still the focus of endless controversy in the academic circles.
However, regardless of political rights and wrongs, Wang Anshi is also an excellent literary scholar, and his achievements in poetry, words, and literature are very high. His articles pioneered the Cultural Revolution movement of the Northern Song Dynasty poetry, ranking among the "Eight Greats of the Tang and Song Dynasties"; his poetic style is unique, self-contained, known as "Wang Jing Gong Body"; his words do not exist much, but most of them try to open a new style, "Guizhixiang" opens the wind of extravagance, the wind of Yongshi, "Fisherman's Pride" opens the wind of poetry as a word, and the collection of sentences is imitated by the word world. With Wang Anshi's talent in literature, if he can invest more energy, he will surely achieve much more than that.
Today is the 1000th anniversary of Wang Anshi's birth, on this occasion, we may wish to revisit Wang Anshi's 5 classic poems:
"
plum blossom
Northern Song Dynasty Wang Anshi
A few plums in the corner of the wall,
Ling Han drove alone.
Remote knowledge is not snow,
For there is dark incense to come.
This small poem of "Plum Blossom" is a must-memorized poem in primary school textbooks, and it is a masterpiece of chanting plum blossoms throughout the ages, and almost everyone can recite it backwards.
This poem was composed after Wang Anshi was deposed for the second time, when the change of law failed, and Wang Anshi was forced to resign and live in seclusion in Jiangnan, but still stubbornly adhered to his political ideals, so he borrowed the plum blossom "Ling Han opened alone" to express the block in his chest.
Leaving aside the connotation of this poem, this poem is also an excellent work of simply chanting plum blossoms, the whiteness of plum blossoms is as white as snow, the dark fragrance of plum blossoms floats, and the plum blossoms are cold and proud, and they are expressed in just 20 words with twists and turns, which are intriguing. It can be said that it is the best song in the poetry of the past.
Berth boat Guazhou
Jingkou Guazhou a water room,
Zhongshan is separated by only a few heavy mountains.
Spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River,
When will the moon shine on me.
This poem "Berthing Boat Guazhou" was composed by Wang Anshi when he returned to Beijing for the second time, and the most praised poem is the "green" character of "spring wind and the south bank of the green river". A "green" character depicts the invisible abstract spring wind as a vivid visual image: the spring wind passes by, and the river bank is a new green. Moreover, from this sentence, the joy and joy of the poet's heart are reflected, the scene is full of dynamics and colors, and the lyricism is contained in the scene. Therefore, this poem is well received by poets, and some people even comment that this poem is "transcendent Myron, able to chase Li Du Tao Xie"!
New Year’s Day
The sound of firecrackers in the one-year-old except,
The spring breeze sends warmth into Tu Su.
Thousands of doors and thousands of households,
Always swap the new peach for the old charm.
Wang Anshi's "Yuan Ri" should be the most widely circulated of all the New Year poems in all the history. Firecrackers are added to the age, spring breeze to warm up, drinking Tusu wine, changing peach charms, all kinds of symbolic New Year customs have been incorporated, showing a new scene of vientiane renewal of the old and the new, a festive atmosphere.
It is precisely for this reason that this poem is deeply loved by the people, so that it can be recited endlessly for a thousand years and become a classic!
Book Lake Yin Mr. Wall One
The long thatched eaves are swept clean without moss,
Flowers and trees are planted by hand.
A water protection field will be green,
Two mountains row min to send Qing.
This "Shuhuyin Mr. Wall" is a typical landscape idyllic poem, the first two sentences of the poem "the long eaves sweep clean without moss, the flowers and trees become the hands of self-planting" describes the environment of Mr. Huyin's home is quiet and clean, praising Mr. Huyin's elegant interests; the last two sentences "A water protection field will be green, two mountains will send green" describes the scene outside the courtyard, the image of the green mountains and rivers is anthropomorphized, and the initiative to send "green" to send "green" to people comes, which highlights Mr. Huyin's purity.
This poem has both the simplicity of the landscape and the idyllic nature of the hermit life, which is quite fun. Let's enjoy the last philosophical poem, "Climbing the Flying Peak":
Climb the flying peak
Flying to the peak of a thousand towers,
Smell the chicken chirping and see the sun rise.
Do not be afraid of floating clouds to cover your eyes,
The self-body is at the highest level.
The rationality of Song poems is vividly expressed in Wang Anshi's "Climbing the Flying Peak", from the beginning to point out the height of the ancient tower of Feilai Peak, implying that the height of its own foothold can see the glory of "sunrise"; the last two sentences "Do not fear the floating clouds to cover the eyes, and be at the highest level" contain profound philosophy: Only by standing on the high point and enlarging the pattern can we not be confused by the illusion of chaos, can we see more long-term, and can we see the essence of things!
This sentence "Do not fear the floating clouds to cover your eyes, and you are at the highest level" and Su Dongpo's "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because I am in this mountain" and are called the two philosophical verses of Song poetry. What the two are talking about is actually the same philosophical idea, that is, looking at the essence through the phenomenon, Su Dongpo expresses the comprehensive and objective understanding of things to see the essence of things, and Wang Anshi expresses the right way to understand the essence of things at a certain height and through the surface. And this "Climbing the Flying Peak" has also become a masterpiece through the ages because of its profound philosophical reasoning.
