Late to the day want snow, can you drink a cup of nothing?
On this winter night, looking out the window, this poem of Bai Juyi flashed in my mind.
Only two sentences, handy, but deep and timeless, as if there is a powerful force, making people feel excited, and then it is difficult to be affectionate.
One
The camera cuts to the Tang Dynasty and focuses on a place called Jiangzhou.
Jiangzhou, which is the Jiangzhou of the "Pipa Line", is also the place where Bai Juyi was most frustrated.
As night came, the north wind howled, and it seemed to swallow up the darkness of the evening.
In the past, the spring breeze was triumphant, and the high friends were full of seats.
Today, dust falls, alone.
"Why not drink fine wine, Hu Ran is sad", Bai Juyi sighed alone.
Then brew wine and invite friends to drink together, let's forget the sorrows of this jiangzhou.
Brew a new wine, who do you go to?
At this moment, Liu Nineteen should be free.
Well, it was him, and Bai Juyi gladly set off.
Who is Liu Nineteen?
There are poetry clouds:
The red flag is not my business, and the yellow paper has no name except for the book.
Only Gong Songyang Liu Virgin, Go gambling wine until dawn.
—— Bai Juyi, "Liu Nineteen Staying together (Shi Huaikou's First Break)"
How heroic and unrestrained, only a confidant can have such a deep friendship.
Two
However, it was not a coincidence that Liu Nineteen was not at home, and Bai Juyi, who was full of joy, had no choice but to return in fear.
But how could he be willing, so he left a note at his house and asked him to drink together when he returned.
This is the "Ask Liu Nineteen" that has been passed down through the ages:
Green ant new wine, red clay small stove.
Late to the day want snow, can drink a cup of nothing.
I brewed light green rice wine and burned the small stove.
The snow will become thicker in the evening, can you come to the cold house to drink a cup of warm wine?
It's so wonderful to say, in other words, can you not go to the appointment?
I think Liu Nineteen will gladly come when he sees it, drink and talk with Bai Juyi;
The warmth of the fire, the mellowness of the new wine, the warmth of the atmosphere.
Drink in the hearth, forget the insults, floating immortality, a drunken party rest!
Three
"Late to the day want snow, can drink a cup of nothing."
Two simple sentences, simple and unpretentious, but it makes people feel sincere.
Maybe at a certain age, you will like the words of one age.
For example, at this moment, the scene of Su Shi's "Night Tour of Remembering the Heavenly Poems" came to mind:
On the night of October 12, the sixth year of Yuanfeng, he undressed and fell asleep, entered the house at the moonlight, and happily set off. Those who have nothing to do with it, so they go to the Chengtian Temple to look for Zhang Huaimin. Huai Min also did not sleep, and walked in the atrium. Under the garden, such as the water is empty, the algae and the water are crossed, and the shadow of the bamboo cypress is also covered. What night without the moon? Where is there no bamboo cedar? But few idle people are like my two ears.
The same text, when I was in high school, I only felt that "the sunset and the lone bird flew together, and the autumn water was long and the sky was colorful", and I did not understand why Su Shi's "Night Tour of The Chengtian Temple" was selected.
The moonlight is rare and can't help but make people happy. However, there was no one to enjoy the moon with him, so he had to go to Zhang Huaimin, who was also degraded.
The sadness of depreciation, the sigh of life, the joy of appreciating the moon, and the leisurely stroll are all included.
And isn't this also the scene where Bai Juyi went to find his friend Liu Nineteen when he was "late to the sky and want snow"?
It was as if he was that Su Shi and that Bai Juyi at this time.
Having had a similar experience made me suddenly feel the greatness of the article, marveling at the feelings I had experienced hundreds of years ago that I had experienced but could not express.
If you think about it, maybe this is the meaning of reading.
