The friendship between the poet Bai Juyi and Yuan Shu can be described as "known to all"; whenever it comes to the good stories between the poets, everyone will first think of these two legendary figures.
Bai Juyi has written many poems for Yuan Shu, such as "Forbidden Night Writing book and Yuan Jiu", such as "Tong Li Eleven Drunken Memories of Yuan Jiu", etc., which are all witnesses to the deep friendship between them. I have to say that being able to find a confidant in the vast sea of people is also a great fortune in life, and the feelings of Bai Juyi and Yuan Shu, the two iron brothers, are enough to make people envious in any era.
What Shi Xiang wants to share in this issue is a poem from Bai Juyi, as for the content, there is no doubt that it is also related to Yuan Shu.
This poem was composed after Bai Juyi was demoted to an official, and on the way to see the poem inscribed by Yuan Shu on the pavilion wall, he felt it, and it was very touching to read.
Regardless of fame, aiming to share the great beauty, you officials; and read this touching work with the poetry alley.
Blue Bridge Saw Yuan Jiu Poem
Bai Juyi
The Blue Bridge Spring Snow Jun returned to the sun, qinling autumn wind when I went.
Every time you arrive at the pavilion, get off your horse first, and follow the wall around the pillar to find Junshi.
Whether from history or from many poetic works, we will have a general understanding of the life experience of the ancients. In that era, the official journey of poets was almost very bumpy, and most of them suffered the fate of being degraded, such as Li Bai, Liu Yuxi, Bai Juyi and Yuan Shu were no exception.
It was the early spring of the Yuan Dynasty and the tenth year, and Yuan Shu, who had been demoted to Gangneung for five years, finally received a recall order from the imperial court, which was great news. So Yuan Shu was overjoyed and extremely excited, and on the way back to the dynasty, he inscribed a poem on the wall of the Blue Bridge Pavilion. The full poem is as follows:
Leave the dream to be thick and useful
Yuan Shu
The spring slip is suspicious of the night chime, and the burning smoke is warm with spring mud.
The thousand-layered jade tent is covered loosely, and the five silver areas are printed with tiger hooves.
The dark Golden WuShan is getting darker, and the deep buried powder road is confused.
Knowing that Wei Que was not much, the Twelve Qiong Lou Bai Li Xi.
Eight months later, when autumn came, the poet Bai Juyi was degraded by the imperial court to his hometown (Jiangzhou), and his road to Jiangzhou was exactly the same as the way yuanshu returned to the dynasty, so Bai Juyi naturally saw the poem written by yuanshu on the pavilion wall in early spring. In this way, it is very simple for us to understand this poem written by Bai Juyi.
Straight to the point, directly to the point, the first sentence arrangement: Blue Bridge Spring Snow Jun's return to the day; this period of time, point place, point character, very clear introduction to personnel. Then when we read this sentence, we may not directly feel the author's mood, because he is only narrating in a flat tone; but in Yuan Shu's poem, it is obvious that there is a feeling of happiness and excitement, because Yuan Shu returned to Beijing after ending his degraded career.
"The spring slip is suspicious of the night chime, and the burning smoke is warm with spring mud." The thousand-layered jade tent is covered loosely, and the five silver areas are printed with tiger hooves. These two sentences in Yuan Shu's poem just write the time, which is closely in line with Bai Juyi's poem "Blue Bridge Spring Snow Jun's Return to the Sun", so the basis of the first sentence of Bai Shu's poem is derived from this.
What kind of mood was Bai Juyi's mood? From the second sentence of the poem, it can be clearly felt: when I went to the autumn wind of Qinling Mountains; my friend Yuan Shu returned to the dynasty in early spring, and the author was demoted from Beijing in August. It is still a common narrative, but the charm and emotional color in it are obviously much stronger and more desolate than the first sentence.
The things of life are really unpredictable, in just eight months, from spring snow to autumn wind, the two have experienced such an encounter, can the author not have some feelings? In fact, although we know from the poem that Yuan Shu was recalled in early spring, there are more changes behind the poem, that is, Yuan Shu was once again demoted out of the capital and went to Tongzhou in March. It is really a fate, and such a twist and turn can be described as a great blow to a weak poet.
Bai Juyi did not write about Yuan Shu being re-degraded, he only made a haircut for the poem inscribed on the pavilion wall when Yuan Shu returned to Beijing, but he must have known that Yuan Shu's re-depreciation was again. Therefore, bai Juyi's narration of his own degraded experience at this time is not depressed and depressed for Yuan Shu's second depreciation? Combined with this layer of content to understand this sentence "When I go to the Autumn Wind of Qinling Mountains", we find that Both Yuan and Bai are like fluffy grass, and the author writes more to lament their fate of "the same fallen people at the end of the world".
The fate is similar, the friendship is deep, and there is a common topic between each other, and they will "feel sorry for each other" and pay special attention to each other, so in the last two sentences, the author says: Every time you go to the pavilion, get off the horse first, follow the wall around the pillar to find junshi; after seeing Yuan Shu's poem at the Blue Bridge Station, the author is paying attention all the way, and everywhere he goes, he will carefully check whether there is a friend's handwriting. What kind of mood this is, I believe everyone can feel it. Here, the author still does not directly say how he cares about and cares about his old friends, he is still portraying in a narrative way, describing his every move, and integrating the real emotions into the specific actions for the reader to experience; while we see the character image, we also feel the mood of the character, spy on the fate of the character, and go deeper, and see the essence of this life and the face of society.
Looking back at Bai Juyi's poem now, we will find that it fully presents the style of white poetry: put an end to strange words, simple and deep, shallow but eternal, really like a cup of good tea, after tasting for a long time can not be forgotten.
This is a good poem, it is really praiseworthy! I don't know what you think of the official opinion? Feel free to speak up.
