Every day poetry hunting, pay attention to the reading dogs!
It is a genius to be a genius, and it is a poor life to be a king! These two sentences evaluate Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, a brilliant poet of the dynasty, and a faint king of the fallen country. As the king of men, Li Yu was obviously unsuccessful, but in the discussion of achievements, Li Yu deserved to be called "emperor of ancient words"!
Li Yu's word names are well known to the world, and his collection of words and famous sentences is stacked. For example, "Ask the king how many sorrows can there be, just like a river of spring water flowing to the east", "Cutting continuously, rationalizing and chaos, is away from sorrow", "Flowing water falls in the spring, heaven on earth", "Since people grow and hate water and water for a long time", and so on, they have been popular throughout the ages.
In fact, Li Yu not only filled in the words wonderfully, but also his poetry talent was also the best in the world. For example, his poems such as "Qingnu of the Palace People", "Shu Ling Feast Hand Towel", and "Crossing the River and Looking at the Stone City crying" are also rare masterpieces even in the Tang Dynasty. However, most of Li Yu's poems were written before the fall of the country, and many of them were written during illness, and they have been very unpopular to this day. For example, "the sickness is like decay, disgusted with oneself for five years", "the decline of the face is difficult to recover, xiaodian King's Landing is quite ashamed", "the mountain house is initially sick and mild, and the cane is brown and called idleness", etc., so there are "sick poems" in later generations.
Today we will enjoy Li Yu's two "sick poems":
Sick and nostalgic
Nan Tang Li Yu
Haggard years, depression hurts self-harm.
The wind threatens to invade the sick bones, and the rain is sad.
Night Ding only decoction medicine, towards the hair half stained frost.
What is the leading edge, who is with the Air King.
This poem "Feeling Nostalgic in illness" was composed before his fall, when Li Yu's young son died prematurely, and the empress died of illness after the great zhou, and the pain of losing his son and wife caused him to fall ill. During his illness, he was even more troubled by state affairs and had a lot of feelings, so he wrote this poem.
The first link", "Haggard years are even worse, depression is beneficial to self-harm" renders a sad atmosphere from both the poet's body and life, and the body gradually haggard and the life is becoming more and more depressed.
Immediately after that, the jaw and neck duo further depicted the poet's living state: "sick bones" are often invaded by wind and "sad intestines" are mostly caused by rain. It not only writes about the external wind and rain, but also expresses the inner sorrow. The neck joint sighed again: Baoding is useless, can only fry medicine, hanging old, mourning even more!
The last two sentences, "What is the leading edge, who is with the King of Emptiness" are the sad questions of the sick: the sorrow and illness are confused about the way forward in life, so they have to turn to the Dharma and fantasize about getting the way to liberation from the Dharma!
The whole poem is desolate in autumn, sick and emaciated, and melancholy, integrating the sick body, heart disease, and state affairs, rendering a very sad atmosphere, which is intriguing to read. Let's look at the following "Book of Illness":
Sick bookish
Sick and strong, he sat on the feast and sat on his own.
The moonlight is quiet and only medicine, and the door is only for birds.
The quack doctor is lazy to listen to the words, and the little maid will not be forbidden.
Lai asked the empty door to know the smell, otherwise the troubles would be invaded.
The date of the creation of this "Book in illness" is unknown, and many poets believe that this poem should be written after Li Yu's fall and capture. However, from the perspective of the content of the poem, it should be similar to the age of "Feeling Nostalgia in illness". The article "Feeling Nostalgia in illness" focuses on feeling the heart, while the "Book in the Illness" focuses on the trivialities of life in the illness and expresses the mood in the illness through trivialities.
The opening chapter begins with incense sitting meditation, and under the fragrance, I can't help but feel sick and relaxed. The jaw joint depicts the scenery in the palace courtyard: the bright moon shines high, only the sound of pounding medicine, the door is quiet, only the birds fly from time to time; the neck joint describes specific trivia: occasionally a doctor comes to diagnose the poet's illness, but it is useless, walking under the support of the palace maid, deeply feeling sick and weak. The courtyard is cold and sick, and the poet's mood is getting heavier.
At the end of the couplet, "Lai asks the empty door to know the smell, otherwise the troubles will invade" is also asking the Buddha, but "Feeling Nostalgia in the Illness" is to ask the Buddha in a daze, and this poem is what I have gained from studying Buddhism, so I am glad that I have understood a lot of Buddhist principles, so that I can be free of worries and worries in such a disease, and I am not worried or bitter.
Two "sick poems", one is nostalgic, the other is remembered, and one is sad, and the poet has to turn to the Dharma; while the memoir is cold and depressed, but it has a lot of life, and there is a great sense of not being bothered by everything after learning Buddhism, and enjoying itself!
