Mo sang the song of the elders, and there is also a galaxy in the world. Husband and wife in the stone trench village parted, and there were more tears than in the Hall of Eternal Life.
Faced with the same thing, different people have different views, and different times have different views. For example, people evaluate the love story of Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, and the angles are different, which leads to different views. Yuan Ming, a talented man in the Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem "Ma Song" to evaluate this matter from the perspective of lamenting the difficulties of people's livelihood.
Don't sing the "Long Hate Song" of that year, it was the sorrow and joy of the Tang Dynasty emperors. Let your eyes focus on the life of the moment, there are sad stories in the world that cannot be reunited. The word "Milky Way" is an allusion to the fact that the cowherd weaver girl is separated by the Milky Way and can only meet once a year. There are many sad stories in the world, taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, in addition to "Long Hate Song" and "Stone Trench Official". The people who were most hurt in the Anshi Rebellion were the people at the bottom, who had more tears than those in the Hall of Eternal Life.
The poem is easy to understand, without any strange allusions or complex narrative structure, but it contains deep meaning. Yuan Mei put forward his point of view, "The world rises and falls, and the people are the most bitter." When Yuan Ming wrote this poem, he happened to be near Ma Song, and he looked back on the past and had a lot of thoughts.
Yuan Ming lived in the heyday of the feudal dynasty, but he clearly knew that it was inevitable to turn from prosperity to decline. How to delay the decline of the dynasty requires the ruler to pay attention to the people's livelihood and benefit the people. See, Yuan Ming thought of the rise and fall of the dynasty from a love tragedy, and thought of the world's cangsheng. This is the pattern of talents, with the perspective of looking down on the heavens.
In the early Qing Dynasty, the literary scholar Hong Sheng wrote the Hall of Eternal Life, and it was clear that Yuan Mei did not approve of Hong Sheng's position. He believes that the stories of ordinary people are more worthy of attention, and Yuan Ming's creative concept is more advanced than Hong Sheng's. At the same time, Yuan Mei also implicitly expressed his sense of distress. The Anshi Rebellion broke out in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and he lived in the Qianlong Dynasty, where various crises were hidden. Yuan Ming borrowed the past to discuss the present, hoping that everyone would wake up and not be confused by the prosperity in front of them.
There is a famous saying in Mencius, "The people are precious, the society is secondary, and the king is light." "Yuan's views are not too subversive, but they have a kind of deafening power. The reason is that people are accustomed to listening to the words they love to hear, and when they meet Yuan Ming, who tells the truth, they feel unaccustomed.
Yuan Ming's family was poor when he was a child, and he could only change his fate by studying hard. As he wished, Kao Xiucai, Zhongju, and Shi. All this changed when he was in his first year, when he resigned at the age of 33 and returned home to build a garden. Everyone thought he would be a great subject, but he chose to live in seclusion in the countryside.
It is hard to believe that when "Ma Wei" was written, Yuan Ming, who was devoted to the people, actually pursued a happy and free life of seclusion. Yuan Ming is a real person, a casual person, he will not be affectionate, he will only express sincerely. From this point of view, he is indeed not suitable for being an official, and he is more suitable for writing poetry.
