Qing Wei 丨 "Sang Hengchang Commentary" Chapter 14 Spiritual Poem: Love Melts on the Clear Spring

Li Hengchang

Touch the Soul: A lonely and noble mind

The soul is the warmest and most sensitive place in the human body, the core of the whole human body, and the territory of the human spirit. The mind is a very peculiar thing, she can't see or touch it, but it does exist, like the stars in the daytime, it can only be experienced, it can only be felt, it can only be listened to. In this lively and extraordinary world, Sang Hengchang is like listening to the sound of flowers, to feel his own soul, to feel the soul of the times, to find poetry in the depths of the soul, so as to write the most sensitive, warm, but also the most painful, the most lonely heart voice, showing his "soul wine and brilliant tears".

All this is first reflected in the poet's lonely and noble heart. Compared with ordinary people, the poet's mind seems to be more sensitive and lonely. Despite the hustle and bustle of the world, the poet is often the loneliest person in the bustling world. This mainly depends on his value orientation that is different from others.

"I am by your side, my eyes are fixed on your face, my ears are listening to your unhappy voice, please forgive my soul, so fascinated by your heavenly light that it has forgotten the mortal dust."

This is a passage from the German poet Schiller's poem "The Division of the Earth". Zeus said to mankind, "Lead the world!" So the farmers, the nobles, the merchants, and the kings scrambled to take the grain, the warehouses, and the power, and when all was done, the poet came. Zeus asked the poet, "Where were you when the earth was divided?" The poet said, "Forgive me for forgetting mortal dust." ”

All poets have passion, but the heart is lonely. Sang Hengchang, as a particularly passionate person, is also no exception.

Injured nerves

Once touched

Like a wild fox that solves its problems

Grab the hole and come out

- "The Sound of the Night"

What came out of the hole was not a whistle, but tears. Why are poets so sentimental? Only because he has a lonely and sensitive heart, only because his heart is the most vulnerable.

The eyes of the poet are the eyes that are often open, and the mind of the poet is often the soul of the sleepless.

Sleepless heart

Like a beggar in a hungry fire

Reach out to me

Tiger mouth-like hands

- "Sleepless Heart"

The reason why the poet is sleepless is only because the poet has a brain that is good at thinking. If he is not good at thinking, there must not be so many "troubles", and it is impossible to be sleepless.

However, the poet's heart, not only miserable, not only sleepless, her most important quality is silence and nobility.

No cables to throw

Shoreless and reliable

The Ship of broken rudder

The wind is the direction

Only around

Time to accompany

- "State of Mind"

This is a broken boat in the water, but also an irrevocable leaf lonely boat, but also a lonely and noble heart between heaven and earth.

It reminds people of the old man who fished for the snow of the Han River alone, and reminded people of the ancestors who thought about the heavens and the earth.

It was as if everything had come to a standstill, and the heavens and the earth were so quiet and beautiful. Only time is by his side.

A lonely boat of the soul, half old in time. She was so lonely and noble.

This is the heart of the poet, the heart of the wise, and even more the heart of the benevolent.

The poet's soul yearns not only for quiet, for nobility, but also for purity and beauty.

How clean, how beautiful, how noble? The Heart of the Lotus tells us the answer:

Find one

Tender like a water knife

Cut yourself

What to cut? Maybe it is to cut one's own unclean soul, or to cut the "sludge" of the general past life marriage.

If one day

This heart is frozen for thousands of miles

You are the peak

A snow lotus

Who saw, above the mountain, that lonely and rare light.

The lotus flower in summer is pure and pure, but the soul of the poet is more beautiful than this lotus. Because she is not a lotus in the pond, but a snow lotus in the ice and snow above the mountain.

The nobility of the poet's soul is also reflected in his own electricity and light, illuminating himself and self-vigilance and self-encouragement. She doesn't need to be reminded, and she doesn't need to be restrained by others:

Illuminate your own heart

Myself

Wipe your own heart

- "Flower of hearts"

The psyche's mind will be disturbed by some garbage in life and will lose sleep.

This night

Piles

As long as history

More important than the literary gall

Life garbage

result

How to clean up

- "Insomnia"

This is the self-alerting of the poet's heart. Since he thought about this problem all night, he would naturally find the best way to clean up the garbage of life.

Truth-fulfillment: A heart that loves and is good

The poet is the one who has the love and the kindest of hearts. Yearning for love, pursuing love, and giving love will inevitably become the main melody and the strongest sound that echoes in their hearts.

Sang Hengchang's poetic heart is a heart that yearns for love, longs for the comfort of love, and at the same time takes the initiative to give love and dedicate love.

My heart is one

A phone that never takes up a busy line

- "Nine Theses of Ming Lake"

Why does the space of the mind "never occupy the line"? Just keep it for you, keep it for your sweetheart.

This is a kind of expectation and yearning for love.

Looking forward to the next minute

There were a hundred reunions

A thousand times, soul

Fusion with the soul

- "Looking Forward"

Here, the poet expects not only love, but also a fusion of souls. Only with the fusion of hearts can love be sublimated.

The poet's yearning for love is actually a yearning for goodness. For love never exists alone without the good. His greatest wish was:

Where there is good wishes

The Forest of Yu Poems

Live it

An old ginseng tree

- "The Wish of the Heart"

This "old ginseng", in fact, "no dust in the eyes", is a "delicate heart" that has experienced vicissitudes.

My heart

Empty boats

Guanyin borrowed me a thousand arms

Five hundred pairs of paddles paddle towards you

When you dock

But hold tight

This root

The umbilical cord of the soul

- "Heart Ship"

The poet not only yearns for love, but also hopes how much he can seize the opportunity of love, the opportunity of love. In order to seize this opportunity of love, he did not hesitate to ask Guanyin for help and borrowed a thousand arms from Guanyin.

For the sake of love, for the sake of love in future lives, he also turned to the Buddha for help, even though he knew very well that the Buddha could not help himself.

I used to be before the Buddha

Fold your hands together

Ask for a paragraph

The dust of the afterlife

- "Whispers of the Heart"

How I hope that the Buddha is an almighty God who can really fulfill this "dust edge of the next life" that he hopes for in his heart.

The poet is more willing to give love, to give love, than to desire love in his heart. In his philosophy, love cannot be just asked for, and "love is happier than being loved":

Since they can't share together

I will give it all up

Loving is happier than being loved

I mortgaged my heart to that land

- "Love is happier than being loved"

It is conceivable that the poet may have met a beloved, but the beloved could not love him. What to do in the face of this situation? The poet did not choose to give up, let alone choose resentment, but only wanted to give his own love, and did not ask for the love of the other party. It is a one-way love, a selfless love, a higher realm of love.

Even in another world, the poet is willing to give his love "selflessly":

My bones

Reincarnation is a mountain

To you

There is always the gaze of a thousand mountains

- "The Heart Has a Vow"

Love is the most beautiful emotion in the world, but it is not easy to get it, and you can't be a "giant of imagination, a dwarf of action". The poet is not only a writer, but also a practical actor. For love, he not only yearns, but acts and works hard. In "Let the Heart Go Trekking", he revealed this trace:

If

Between hearts

Blocked --

Not only the arterial river

Not only the mountains of the sternum

Then let the heart trek

"Trekking" here is an action, a will, and a spirit of love.

On the road of pursuing love, the poet is not only diligent in "trekking", but also dares to "call the pass".

You use beauty to build a castle

You beat your heart into the gates of the city

Want to attack

Attack and powerless

Desire to take

Take it without wisdom

Only under the city

Keep calling off

- "Calling Off"

If "trekking" is a kind of perseverance, then "calling off" is a fighting spirit. He needs courage, he needs a spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice. A poem "Calling Guan" highlights the poet's belief and pride in fighting for love.

Regeneration: A rich and broad mind

The soul of the poet is not only lonely and noble, nor is it only loving and good, but also magnificent, rich and broad.

The poet is committed to the cultivation and shaping of the soul, and strives to cultivate into a spiritual tree throughout his life.

He once lamented: What a high heaven, how wide the earth, let you and I meet together. He also complained to God, letting the heart replace the eyes in crying, since I gave birth to a male, why regenerate you as a woman!

After sighing and complaining, the poet finally came out, he let reason as a judge, judge himself, and finally he had a higher "wish" and a higher realm:

So, a splash of whiteness poured out

Let the heart stand in the chest

- "Let the Heart Stand in the Chest"

This kind of standing is a kind of tall standing, and what stands out is a kind of great shore, a kind of dignity.

The most representative of the poet's heart is "I Wish":

I want to be with the big man

With the big man

No hunchbacks

I would like to be with children

With children

Lost innocence can be picked up

I would like to be with young people

With young people

A few wrinkles are missing from the heart

In this long poem, the poet writes nine "I Wish" in one sitting, from the big man to the child, from the young to the old, from the friend to the opponent, from himself to the giant. This may seem like a way to make yourself a better version of yourself, but in fact, isn't it kindness and praise to others, to the world, and even to "opponents" or "enemies"? To say that the poet's heart is broad is here. Say that the poet's heart is great, and the great shore is here.

The richness and breadth of the poet's heart also lie in his unremitting pursuit of the value of life and the fullness of his heart. On his birthday, when relatives gathered together and lit candles to wish him a happy birthday, the poet thought a lot, a lot, but the only worry was:

I was really scared

Afraid to give to future generations

Leave a bunch behind

The ashes of time

- "Birthday"

A man as accomplished as he was, who could leave countless beautiful poems to the world, still had such worries about what a soul should be in pursuit of ultimate fulfillment.

The most gratifying thing is that the poet's heart is still a mind that is good at nirvana.

Yellow River

My blood relatives

See you once

The heart dies once

Every time

It's all the nirvana of the heart

- "Nirvana of the Heart"

The poet explains the folk belief that "the heart does not die until the Yellow River", and what we see is not only a new meaning and creation, but also a soul that should be seen by his phoenix pecking wood and self-immolation, constantly reborn in the fire.

It should be noted that the "mind" of the poet discussed here is only the "heart" in the narrow sense; the "work of the mind" referred to here is only a small part of all his "works of the mind". Because, as an emotional saint, an emotional poet, all his poems are the fruits of seeking poetry from the "heart", the fountain of his soul, the "shining notes" dedicated to the world.
