Every day poetry hunting, pay attention to the reading dogs!
The Sheng Tang Dynasty is the most glorious period in the history of poetry. The Kaiyuan dynasty brought the political, economic, military, and cultural development of the Tang Dynasty to its peak, and a large number of outstanding poets also emerged in the poetry world, who either chanted landscapes and rivers, or sang about the Border Plug War, or needled current events, and the style was either beautiful and natural, or romantic and unrestrained, or sharp reality, and so on. It is precisely because of this hundred flowers that there is the glory of Sheng Tang poetry.
Among them, especially the border war poems can best reflect the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty! The poems mainly describe the border wars and border customs and customs, as well as the social changes brought about by the war, such as farewell, nostalgia, and grievances. Most of the poems are tragic and majestic, and the style is majestic, which is the most enough to express the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty.
Today we will enjoy two masterpieces of the poet Gao Shi, the representative poet of the Sheng Tang Dynasty. These two poems are a group of poems, one of which everyone can recite backwards like a stream, and the other is little known. And come and enjoy Gao Shi's "Don Dong Sophomore Song":
Don't be the second year of Dong
Don Gaushi
One
Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and daylight,
The north wind blows wild geese and snow.
Don't worry about the road ahead, don't know yourself,
Who in the world does not know the king?
Second
Six fluttering and self-pity,
He has been away from Jingluo for more than ten years.
The husband should be poor and unsatisfied,
There is no wine money for today's encounter.
Gao Shi was the most typical Border Plug poet of the Sheng Tang Dynasty, and was called "Gao Cen" together with Cen Shan, and later generations called him "Four Poets of Border Plug" together with Cen Shan, Wang Changling, and Wang Zhizhuo. Gao Shi was born a man of letters, but devoted himself to the military. He traveled for many years on the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, transported soldiers, served as an aide, and assisted Ge Shuhan in garrisoning Tongguan before the Anshi Rebellion. After the Anshi Rebellion, he was also awarded the title of Envoy of Huainan Jiedushi, leading the army to cut down the Yong King Li Xuan, the Rebel Army of Ping'an Shi, and the Siege of Suiyang, with outstanding military merits. It can be described as a successful example of the literati congrong.
Years of border life and horse career have made Gao Shi's temperament and poetic style magnificent, and people at the time called his temperament "shuoqi and strong heart", and his poems are mostly straight and lyrical, not limited to the text subsections, the pen is strong, the momentum is unrestrained, and the arrogance is bold. Extremely strong and vigorous, everywhere is full of the vigorous spirit of the times of the Tang Dynasty.
This group of "Second Songs of Don Dong Da" is Gao Shi's representative work, from which we can see Gao Shi's heroic and open-mindedness, even if it is a farewell, it is not as poignant and sad as the ordinary farewell poem, but the passionate generosity and encouragement of "Mo Worries about the Road Ahead and Ignorance of Himself".
These two poems were written by Lang You Suiyang when he met the degraded pianist Dong Tinglan (Dong Da), and the first of them is a masterpiece of ancient times, which almost everyone can recite. "Thousands of miles of yellow clouds in the daylight, the north wind blows geese and snow", the opening chapter first depicts the scenery of the border plug: the sunset yellow clouds, the wind and snow break the geese, the wild sky, the wanderer He Zhi! The scene depicted is a sad scene, but the momentum is magnificent and majestic, with a tragic color.
The last two sentences are followed by "Don't worry about the road ahead and don't know yourself, who in the world doesn't know the king", sweeping away the depressed atmosphere, with a loud and powerful tone to inspire friends to shake their spirits and go far with a strong heart! This farewell sentence is bold and simple, so it has become a famous sentence that everyone has recited for thousands of years.
The previous song also heroically and open-mindedly bid farewell to friends, and the latter song was a bit embarrassing. "Liu Fei fluttered and self-pity, leaving Jingluo for more than ten years", the poet used the bird as a metaphor for himself, fluttering, self-harming and self-pitying, leaving Jingluo for more than ten years.
Wandering outside for many years, mixed unsatisfactory, even sending off friends are "husbands poor should not be enough, today's meeting without wine money." At that time, Gao Shi was still in a poor and depressed situation without wine money, and he should have invited Dong Da to drink for him, but now he could not pay for wine. You can only "borrow Dong Da's wine and pour a block in your heart."
The previous poem encouraged Dong Da to "Mo Worries about the road ahead without knowing himself, and no one in the world knows the King", but the latter poem let Dong Da pay for wine, which really surprised people, and had to wonder whether Gao Shi was perfunctory Dong Da with "Mo Worries about the road ahead ignorant of himself".
Of course, this embarrassing verse is not negative and low, but has the confidence and hope for the future that "the husband is poor and poor" and hope for the future. The eldest husband is poor and lowly, how can he be willing! He is becoming more and more ambitious, and he will teach "who in the world does not know the king"!
These two poems of Gao Shi are not very literary to read, very simple, even very rough, but the magic is wonderful in their thickness, both coarse and proud, both majestic and happy. Straight to the chest, with its own generous and tragic bones, although there is little literary talent, but there is a big atmosphere!
