Every human being lives only once, and the ants are still greedy, so how can mortals not be afraid of death? Especially in the old age, people will often think about such problems. Born like a summer flower, dead like an autumn leaf, instead of being sad every day, it is better to talk and laugh every day.
The great literary hero Ouyang Xiu had a frank and frank life, and once in the Literary Circle of the Northern Song Dynasty, he also promoted many young talents, which can be described as Tao Li's unspoken and self-made. In his later years, the poet paid great attention to health care, less selfishness, but leisurely and happy. The following shares that Ouyang Xiu returned from hanging the crown and recited a seven-law poem, which was of infinite interest, and Han Qi also felt a thousand feelings after reading it.
Retired to Shu Huai to send Beijing Han Shizhong
Northern Song Dynasty: Ouyang Xiu
The courtiers of the Book Palace were spoiled and nagged, and different haggard returned to the fishing tree.
Endless interest in idleness, strong half of the time drunk in the sale.
When you love bamboo, you come to Noji Temple and look for a spring doll alone to cross the creek bridge.
Yusu five things are called laymen, and it is not enough to drink a scoop back.
Ouyang Xiu was an outstanding writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was Zeng Gong's mentor, and he also promoted Su Shi, and also strongly encouraged Wang Anshi to take up a post in the capital. However, although Ouyang Gong was brilliant and selfless, he was still excluded from the court.
At the beginning of July of the fourth year of the Northern Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu returned to yingzhou, where his soul was haunted, he left his career, and he was also relieved from the worries of the world, and for a time he felt relaxed, and the poet finally opened a leisurely and scattered mode of retirement. Excited, he sent this poem to his friend Han Qi.
The opening paragraph contrasts, and the poet praises Han Qi as a "palace minister", very close to the emperor and the prince, and although the grace is unlimited, he does not covet enjoyment. He is already haggard and old, and he is about to be with the fishing tree, and they are no longer the same as each other.
However, the poet does not regret his choice, he is full of expectations for the peaceful life after retirement, and he feels that ordinary days have endless interest, even if most of the time after retirement is spent in drunken dreams, but because of the relaxed mood, there will not be too much trouble.
The poet is like a crane in the clouds, he often wears a Taoist costume, a feather crane, and lives idyllically on the shore of the West Lake and the shore of the Yingshui River. He likes to visit ancient temples and wanders quietly alone in the bamboo forest; by the banks of the Clear Creek and the small bridge, he often leaves his figure searching for spring.
The last two sentences highlight the noble and pure feelings of this literary master, who believes that as a hermit with both moral integrity and ability, he must possess the five things, that is, the character and virtue of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and faith that Confucianism calls. In fact, the poet should have been a qualified descendant of the way of Confucius and Mencius, but he was humble and inferior to Yan Hui in the dark alley to study and cultivate, and did not change his happiness.
The second rhyme replied to the government of Ouyang Shaoshi retired to Shuhuai
Song Dynasty: Han Qi
The earthly disciples Xi Yong retreated high, and at some point he threw himself into the mixed cultivation trees.
The gods are inseparable, and the straight road is difficult to disappear due to old diseases.
Weijing Minliu River wipes the bank, Yinghu Lake spring early willow bridge.
From whom to float Qiu Yuan, left and right piano books full of wine.
When Ouyang Xiu composed this poem, Han Qi was actually in the Daming Mansion in Beijing. As a Situ and attendant, he can be described as a high authority, but he has great respect and admiration for Ouyang Xiu. They had all participated in the New Deal of the Qingli Calendar, and at the same time, they had witnessed Wang Anshi's changes, had common words with each other, and forged a deep friendship.
When Han Qi read the other party's poems, he felt empathy and also understood the complicated feelings of Ouyang Xiu after his retirement, so he expressed his sorrow and helplessness between the lines.
Han Qi first praised Ouyang Xiu for daring to retreat and retreat from the wilderness, and also asked himself when he could integrate into the farming and fishing trees. As the elder of several dynasties, the author made outstanding contributions to the imperial court, and also witnessed the process of the Great Song Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and experienced the ups and downs of the eunuch sea and the tribulations of life.
Han Gong and Ou Gong are like-minded, in the same boat, and have a deep friendship with each other, which will never be blocked by mountains and rivers, nor should they be cold because of the long distance. He praised Ouyang Xiu for his noble qualities and integrity, even if his body was aging, he would not change his true colors.
The poet also imagined Ouyang Xiu's secluded life, where the West Lake was full of tourists and the lake water rose and fell on the embankment; where spring came earlier, Yang Liu Wanna covered the Creek Bridge. Everywhere there are flowers and leaves, and everywhere is full of vitality.
Finally, the author quotes an allusion that Prince Qiao Hao blows the pipe as a phoenix, and when he is swimming in Iloilo, the Taoist priest Fuqiu Gong picks him up the mountain. The poet thus praised Ouyang Xiu for living a leisurely life like a god, and he hoped that he would join hands with him to drink wine, play the piano and read books, and relive the good memories of his youth.
