Du Mu was an outstanding talent of the late Tang Dynasty, who was intelligent and hardworking when he was young, not only proficient in poetry creation, but also liked to study the art of war and tactics, and made indelible contributions to the inheritance and development of late Tang poetry. The poet's life was bumpy, and many of his works expressed their inner sorrow and indignation at the same time, but also expressed their extreme concern about the decline of the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone is familiar with his "A Fang Gong Fu", in which the author depicts the mighty domineering spirit of Qin Shi Huang's unification of the world with sharp pen and ink and extraordinary literary style, and also euphemistically expresses the extravagance and cruelty of the Great Qin Dynasty and the deep disasters brought to the people.
In fact, in addition to this immortal work, Du Mu also wrote a poem with a similar theme, and the following shares Du Mu's unknown seven ancient poems, which are simple and simple, but full of deep meaning.
Over Mount Li
Tang Dynasty: Du Mu
The First Emperor swam east out of Zhou Ding, and Liu Xiang looked at the neck.
It is hard work to cut the world, but it is for the poor people.
Qianshou is not foolish, and qianli is imprisoned as a single husband.
The shepherd boy entered the bottom of the Nine Springs and did not wither when it was burned to ashes.
Lishan Mountain is a branch of the Qinling Mountains, the mountain is steep, lush with grass, and the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is at its feet. Du Mu once passed through this place, and by the way, he went on a tour, and the poet remembered the past, imagined it, and improvised a masterpiece.
The opening chapter tells the story of Qin Shi Huang's eastern tour, "Ding" is the treasure of the country, and the migration of Zhou Ding means the transformation of power. Qin Shi Huang wanted to transport Jiuding to Xianyang in Kyoto, and at the same time took this opportunity to show the world his majestic majesty, but he did not expect to lead to a story.
Qin Shi Huang unified the world. The annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, the unification of writing and weights and measures, and the end of years of strife and smoke of war would have been a great achievement. However, the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty provoked the revolt of the people. Zhang Liang had assassinated Qin Shi Huang in Bowangpo, Xiang Yu also said that "he can take his place", and Liu Bang believed that "the big husband should be like this". The word "neck" expresses a sense of awe and curiosity.
Next, the poet continued to express what Qin Shi Huang did, "flattening the world and working hard", this sentence praises the great deeds of Qin Shi Huang, after the hard work of several generations of Qin Guo, as well as the blood and sweat of countless soldiers, it is not easy to exchange for a clean unification.
However, the next 7 words are very emotional, "but for the poor people", this sentence can be understood in many ways. Some people believe that the establishment of the Great Qin Dynasty should have been for the welfare of the common people, but in the end it backfired, and the people fell into a more miserable situation. There are also people who believe that Qin Shi Huang unified the world, but artificially produced countless suffering people.
The poet's heart was surging and full of feelings, and the neck link turned to expressing his opinion. The word "Qianshou" cleverly uses the borrowing method to allude to ordinary people. "Not to be foolish is to be foolish", witty and funny, using sharp contrasts, not only praises the wisdom of the working people, but also lashs out at Qin Shi Huang's policy of burning books and pit Confucianism.
"A thousand miles of letters to the prisoner of the single husband", this sentence is thought-provoking. Qin Shi Huang thought that he had established a majestic foundation that was not easy to build in the world, and built luxurious palaces and pavilions, but he never expected that these buildings would eventually become his burial place, which was really regrettable. The author uses a "single" word to convey that this lonely man has long become the target of public criticism. The wheels rolled, and all his troops were mantis arms as carts.
The ending is full of romantic imagination, a shepherd boy mistakenly enters the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and accidentally burns down the underground palace, while Qin Shi Huang is still cold. The shepherd boy's fire is actually a symbol, expressing the irresistible strength of the new forces, and also means the inevitable demise of the corrupt forces.
Du Mu's Seven Ancient Poems are simple and simple, but full of deep meaning. The author uses implicit techniques to express his extreme concern about the Tang Dynasty. Although the poet also knows that the rise and fall is inevitable, he is in the midst of it, and of course hopes that this ending will come as late as possible. This is not self-anesthesia, but a sincere flow of emotions.
