preface
The ancients wrote poetry because of the creation of poetry in the era of the Imperial Examination. Even in the era when talents were not selected for poetry, poetry was an important tool for cultural people to communicate with each other, and the poetry classics were even diplomatic rhetoric in the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period.
I often see people say, in this era, what is the use of writing poetry and learning poetry?
Yesterday I saw Yang Xiangchi's "Poetry of Stealing IdleNess", in which one of the passages talked about the role of poetry, no matter what era will not become obsolete. Lao Jie will share it with you.
First, poetry can arouse filial piety
Poetry can arouse filial piety. Every time The Jin Dynasty read "Mao Poems", he said, "Mourn your parents, give birth to me." "It is a runny nose, and the doorman is a waste of the article of "Indigo".
Mourn your parents, give birth to me. From the book of poetry "The Lotus"
Tateshina, Artemisia. Mourn your parents, give birth to me.
Tateshina, Bandit Yiwei. Mourn your parents, give birth to me.
The bottle is exhausted, the shame of Wei Wei. It is better to live than to die for a long time. What's wrong with fatherlessness? Why be motherless? ....... After omitted.
The poem is a tribute song in memory of one's parents (the Preface to Mao's Poems says it is a poem: "Thorny King Also").
Wang Pei (wáng póu) (?-311) was a native of the Western Jin Dynasty, killed by his father Wang Yi Sima Zhao, so whenever he read the Mao Poems, he felt deeply and drooled.
In order to commemorate Wang Qizhi's filial piety, the hill north of his cemetery was named "Cimu Mountain", the river under the mountain was called "Xiaoshui River", and the place where his mausoleum was located was "Cibu", which is now Cibu Town, Anqiu City, Shandong Province.
Second, poetry can feel the less righteous and the unencumbered
Poetry can enlighten the righteous and the unencumbered. Emperor Wen of Wei ordered his brother Zhi Zhi to compose poems in the seven steps, and if he did not succeed, he practiced Dafa. Plantation should be a poem, "Boiled beans hold as soup, wet beans think of juice." The root burns at the bottom of the kettle, and the beans cry in the kettle: This is the same root, why is it too urgent to fry? ”
Emperor Wen did not add to the sin.
Cao Zhi composed seven-step poems and dead cow poems, which touched Cao Pi and escaped persecution. Therefore, Yang Xiangchi said, "Poetry can feel the less righteous and the unencumbered."
The Tang Dynasty poet Li Shi met a robber on the way, and the other party knew that he was a famous poet and said, "But Xi yi, Jin Shuai is not expensive", as long as you write me a poem, I will not rob you. After Li Shi wrote this poem, the robbers were deeply moved, and later the golden basin washed his hands and lived in seclusion on Luofu Mountain.
Tang Dynasty Fan Xi's "Yunxi Friendship Discussion" said that many years later, this robber who had converted from evil to righteousness still remembered this poem:
Regret the past and the present, because it is not clear. Or hold a covetous and sour, and sing in the opposite direction: "Spring rain Xiao Xiao Jiang Shang Village, Wuling high-roller night knows." He didn't have to avoid each other, and the world was now half king.
Tang Dynasty Zheng Zhizhi's "Miscellaneous Records of the Ming Emperor" records that Zhang Jiuling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, because he always spoke out and advised, gradually became estranged from Tang Xuanzong, and the traitorous minister Li Linfu took the opportunity to repeatedly enter the rumors, and Zhang Jiuling not only had difficulty in his position, but even felt threatened with his family's life. So Zhang Jiuling made a "Guiyan Poem" like Li Linfu expressed his position:
Although the petrel is faint, the spring is also temporary.
Do you know that the mud is dirty, only to see the jade hall open?
Embroidery when double entry, Huatang day several times.
No intention to compete with things, eagle falcons can not guess.
I was just an ordinary little swallow, and I occasionally had the opportunity to come to the top of the Jade Hall. I don't have the idea of competing with others for fame and fortune, Falcon, don't be jealous of whether I'm good or not.
Lin Fu looked at it, knowing that he would retreat, and his anger was slightly relieved. Miscellaneous Records of the Ming Emperor
After Zhang Jiuling resigned, he was able to die well, and this poem played a big role.
Third, poetry can preserve antiquities
Poetry preserves antiquities. A certain eunuch built a large number of civil engineering projects and cut down an ancient tree as a beam. A scholar inscribed a poem on The Tree Cloud:
"I also know that this is going to the beams, and there is no return of the clouds covered with green moss." Only afraid of the cold night of the moon and the next autumn, he returned from the Chitose Crane. ”
When the apparent saw it, he did not cut down the tree.
Poetry can protect antiquities, and there are too many examples.
Du Mu's poem "Qingming" burned the apricot blossom village:
During the Qingming Festival, the rain is pouring, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
Where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy refers to the apricot blossom village.
Some time ago, I traveled to Chizhou on business and found that there were actually two apricot blossom village scenic spots, and there were also apricot blossom villages in Fenyang, Shanxi. Li Fen can see the specific location of Xinghua Village, in fact, modern people have not figured it out. But modern people still rebuild the apricot blossom village because of Du Mu's poem.
The famous attractions of Yellow Crane Tower, Yu Gutai, Xie Shuo Tower, Tengwang Pavilion, Stork Tower, Yueyang Tower, etc., have undergone many damages and reconstructions in history.
Because of the poetry, these attractions are too famous, and they will always attract countless tourists to visit.
Those who survive strengthen protection, and those who do not survive are rebuilt to strengthen protection.
Fourth, poetry can transform the breath contenders
Poetry can transform the breath contenders. When Zheng Banqiao was in Wei county, his brother fought with people for the wall and sent letters to Banqiao, hoping to take advantage of the situation to suppress people. Itabashi replied with a poem: "
The thousand-mile family letter is a wall, and why bother if a wall gives way. The Great Wall is still there today, and Qin Shi Huang was not seen in that year. ”
His brother received poetry without arguing with anyone.
Speaking of this story, I am afraid that many people will think of a tragedy some time ago. Fujian Putian Ou Chunjiu because of the dispute over the repair of the house, resulting in 2 deaths and 3 injuries of the major incident.
The story of Sanzhi Lane is widely circulated, and the protagonist here is Zheng Banqiao, and some people say that it is Fu Yiwei, the founder of the founding of the country, or Zhang Ying, a university scholar of the Kangxi Dynasty.
No matter whose story it is, its educational significance is the same. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and neighbors try to ensure harmony between them.
One of the characteristics of this story that needs attention is to persuade the strong to back down to the weak. Instead of encouraging the weak to back down to the strong.
Conclusion
Poetry has an enlightening meaning, although the times change, but there are some truths that will not change because of the change of times.
Out of the above 4 effects, what other use do you think there is?
