There is a famous food in my hometown called "Koshiki Cake", when I check what "Koshiki" is on the Internet, I occasionally see such a poem by Lu You: "Chang You pound the pearls to illuminate the light of the earth, and the big dumplings cook jade and village incense" ("Autumn Song"),There is also a food called "Wheat Rice", and occasionally see Lu You's sentence: "Celery soup and wheat rice, the day does not waste and return" ("East and West Home"). All this makes me think that Lu You is an interesting person and a person who loves to eat. Later, in order to make a paper, I had the opportunity to read through Lu You's poetry collection, which was even more interesting: just looking at the poems in the catalog, it seemed to be a diary. For example, the famous "November 4th Wind and Rain Masterpiece", there are dates, there are weather; some also have events and moods, such as "Autumn drought is even worse, July 28 night suddenly rains, joy and work". In particular, his theme of "lunch" and "afternoon sleep", which are the life scenes of farmers and village women, is quite grounded.
Compared with the angry land tour in the textbook that advises the child "Wang Shi Bei Ding Zhongyuan Day, the family sacrifice does not forget to tell Nai Weng", this "human design" of the leisurely land tour seems to be a little strange to us, but this is also a part of the poet's truth, more easy-going and more folk.
Portrait of Lu You
The daily life written in Lu You's poems can be roughly divided into two kinds, one is his local life before his departure in the twenty-eighth year (1158) of Emperor Gaozong Shaoxing of the Song Dynasty and after repeated dismissals and returns to his hometown; the other is the life of a scholar and doctor that he himself has as a middle-class literati, with a strong bookish atmosphere. Although Lu You, who is immersed in the sea of eunuchs, has always dreamed of serving the country with a horizontal sword, history has finally positioned him as a poet. Thousands of ancient literati chivalrous dreams, but finally died in the knife and pen case, this should be their misfortune, but it is good to be able to not be confined to this, always love and carefully observe life, the gap between the iron horse glacier into the dream, can also be happy "where a grass, a wood, a fish, a bird, all cut into poetry", life in his pen end vividly presented, not to completely fall into the heavy.
For example, he described his book scene "heavy curtains do not roll for a long time, ancient Yan slightly concave and inky", although Lin Daiyu criticized this sentence "shallow and near" when teaching Xiangling to learn poetry, Mr. Qian Mu also said that compared to Wang Wei's "rain in the mountains and fruits fall, under the lamp grass insects singing" is more vulgar, but I think it is this careful observation, honest description that makes it with human pyrotechnics and interest, compared to the emptiness and elegance of Wang Shi may appear real and vulgar, but it is extremely vulgar. The clouds of the night rain and fruits still carry the poet's imagination, but the curtain, incense, stone, and ink are the things that the reader thinks of reading or ordinary people think of when they think of reading. Think about how many interesting things happened in the study when the poet enjoyed the "beautiful sleep and pleasant massage": perhaps deliberately, or perhaps forgotten, the unrolled curtain made it impossible for the aroma to escape and lingered for a long time, and the uneven ancient stones at the bottom secretly gathered ink droplets.
Talking about the history of Chinese tea culture, it is often inseparable from Lu You's sentence "Short paper is idle and idle, and the clear window is thin and milk plays tea" ("Lin'an Spring Rain Early Ji"), the poem was written when he was summoned to Beijing in the thirteenth year of Chunxi, Mr. You Guoen explained that "it reflects the author's cold mood for the official career", but in this sentence alone, a "leisure" and a "drama" are extremely leisurely and relaxed. The hand scribbles a few crooked strokes on the short note, and the foam floating in the tea that is randomly ordered is delicate as milk (the Song people drink tea with a tea method, that is, pouring boiling water into the tea cup, while stirring the tea powder, the surface of the tea soup changes out of the pattern called tea, and now Chinese no longer drink tea), in this casual mood, drinking tea in the land tour, not so much as the art of life is more like a game, we seem to be able to feel the poet when he sees the tea foam floating, the kind of simple happiness of the child.
Song Dynasty Liu Songnian "Tea Drawing"
The most important thing for a literati is to read. There are many poems read by Lu You, but many of them are not only books and reading itself, but also combined with the reading environment, the person who accompanies the reading, the reading mood and other life plots, and have a very warm and thick texture. "Self-pity has not abolished the poetry and book industry, father and son have a light in the window" ("White Hair") contains the joy of reading together at home, while "the songbirds in the corner of the house are unconscious, and the books in their hands are silent" ("Early Cool and SoundSleep") reminds me of the similar experience of unconsciously falling asleep while reading books and falling books in my hands. You Xi "Autumn Night Reading Every Two Drums as a Festival", "white hair mercilessly invades the old world" is too cruel, but a sentence "Green Lantern Tastes Like Childhood" makes people's hearts soft, and a lonely green lantern is a comfort that gives readers a warm heart in the cold night, just like the childhood companion who accompanies childhood, the unspeakable cordial warmth. In the end, it ends with "the autumn night is getting hungry, a cup of yam is exhausted", honestly writing about his reading until late at night when he is hungry, using yam as a treasure of the night supper, which seems to have nothing to do with reading but can't help but be funny, we will not blame Lu You for destroying the seriousness of reading, but will be happy to find that poets who worry about the country and the people also have such an ordinary daily side.
For Lu You, writing poetry has become a way of life for him, which of course only those who love life can do it. When riding on the boat, I met the hypnotic rain, so I slept until dark, got up and wrote a poem "The rain is extremely cold, and the boat is asleep until the sunset"; when he is well, he goes out and walks around, and some neighbors come to comfort him, and when he goes back, he writes a poem "Autumn evening idle walk, neighbor song to give a close taste of the disease, all are happy to welcome" - the topic is very long, it is almost equal to a small preamble, and the live is the replay of the event, and it is not simplified. Any waves in life will be directly reflected in the poem, the text of the poem seems to become a white picture, and the poet's life is displayed in front of our eyes through each word. I like "Early Winter Miscellaneous Questions": "The wind and clouds are low and the rain is oblique, and a soft branch is dumb." Drowsy and drunk, he knew where to go, pushed up the canopy and suddenly arrived home. "On a rainy day, the drunken poet fell into a deep sleep amid the sound of the rocking, and woke up to push the canopy to find that he had arrived home, which made people feel a sense of pleasure from the inside out. Li Bai's "apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed through the Ten Thousand Heavy Mountains" is also a similar experience, but compared to that kind of ecstasy, Lu Shi is more restrained and reserved, and a "home" word makes people feel more intimate.
Ming carved version of the "Jiannan Poetry Manuscript"
The Ming Dynasty Yuan Zongdao said: "Occasionally, I have to put the Weng set, read the log quickly, because of the imitation of his words, things are thorough, and the flowers and birds are also strange." All the fun of the yuan and white people is definitely the poetry of Su Huang's generation. Indeed, the objects and styles of Lu's depictions are similar to those of the Tang Dynasty Yuan bai, but they definitely have the aesthetic taste of Song poetry's unique "vulgarity as elegance" (Su Shi), which is in line with Su Huang.
Closing the collection of land travel poems is not envious, to be a reader, not only can have Han Mo Lan dry spirit, but also can be accompanied by grass, trees, birds, insects and fish, it is really no regrets. (Editor-in-charge: Li Zhengrong)
