Suddenly the high platform is full of soil, and people say that the mob will win this share. Drinking springs is a rare festival, but Liangshan is uniquely famous.
This poem is the work of Liu Bowen and is called "Dividing the Stolen Platform". Generally speaking, the ancients wrote poetry either to write scenery, or speech, or lyricism. Why did Liu Bowen write about the stolen platform, whether he was critical or realistic, and what was he going to do? Then take a curious look at what Liu Bowen wrote in the poem and what kind of views he expressed.
Liu Bowen was the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also a poet of the early Ming Dynasty. His status in the literary world is comparable to that of the great Confucian Song Lian, and his achievements are comparable to those of the literary scholar Gao Qi. Liu Bowen liked to write poetry, especially poems that attacked the dark rule of the Yuan Dynasty. After understanding Liu Bowen's biographical information, we can guess that his writing of "Dividing the Stolen Goods" should be related to his concern for the well-being of the people.
Looted goods are called "dirty", and only those who fall into the grass will share the loot. The poem depicts a group of good men in the green forest, and if you read the whole poem, you will know that this group of good men should be the good men of Liangshan in the Song Dynasty. Look, there's a high platform made of rammed earth. Someone came forward to introduce that this is a high platform where heroic thugs share the booty. A bunch of good men are here to share the booty, and there is nothing to write about. Don't worry, look down. Liu Bowen used an allusion that immediately enhanced the cultural connotation of the whole poem.
"Drinking Spring Qing" refers to Wu Yinzhi, a famous scholar of the Jin Dynasty. Wu Yinzhi was honest and honest, and was sent to Lingnan as an official. There is a local spring called "Greedy Spring", and it is said that after drinking the spring water here, you will become greedy. Wu Yinzhi felt that this was nonsense, and he personally tasted the water of the greedy spring, still maintaining his incorruptible nature. People learned of this and praised others for their noble character.
Reading this seems to understand Liu Bowen's meaning, are the people who share the booty all robbers? Not necessarily, some heroes who have fallen into the grass are still like Wu Yinzhi, bright and upright, maintaining a noble nature. For example, the good man on Liangshan is such a heroic figure. They kill the rich and help the poor, and benefit one side. On the surface, this is a platform for dividing up the stolen goods, but in fact this is a high platform for "fighting righteousness and neglecting wealth."
At the end of the reading, it was clear that Liu Bowen wanted to express the rationality and inevitability of overthrowing the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. From the perspective of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, the rebel army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was a "sharer of the spoils". From the perspective of these rebel armies, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were cruel and absurd, they were the spoilers, and they were bound to perish.
With different angles and different views, Liu Bowen wrote "Dividing the Stolen Goods" to express his determination to overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. His purpose was clear and he was confident, and he knew that this good thing that would benefit the people would certainly have the support of the people.
When later generations evaluated this poem, they said that it was a poem about the scenic spots and monuments of Yongliang Mountain. In fact, if you read the poem, you will find that it contains Liu Bowen's determination to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty. The good men of Liangshan were robbers, but their reputation was good. If there is oppression, there will be resistance, and Liu Bowen helped Zhu Yuanzhang conquer the world, just to end the rule of the Yuan people and let the people of the world live happily.
