Li Shangyin is talented, and the poems he writes are highly sought after by people, from rhyme to mood. Li Shangyin had a nephew named Han Wei,who was also a well-known poet of the Tang Dynasty on the mainland.
Perhaps everyone remembers Li Shangyin's praise for Han Wei's poems, two of which are particularly classic: Tonghua Wanli Danshan Road, Young Fengqing yu Lao Fengsheng; for his nephew Han Wei, Li Shangyin gave a high evaluation, and through this evaluation, we also initially realized Han Wei's extraordinary talent.
In Han Wei's poems, there are many works of "feeling time", and it is precisely because his works are very profound, so these "sense of time" works have also become the most valuable treasures in Han Wei's poems.
Speaking of Han Wei, read Han Wei; then in this issue, Shi Xiang also deliberately selected a poem by Han Wei to share with you. The poem is lyrical in four sentences, with a bleak style and profound meaning, which can be called a veritable good work.
After arriving in Longxi County from Sha County to Quanzhou Army, the villages were empty because of a dead end
Don Han Wei
The water is self-sloping from the murmuring sun, and there are no chickens or dogs with crows.
Thousands of villages fall like cold food, and there are no people and flowers.
Han Wei's lyric poems are generally integrated with the understanding of the personnel at that time and the feelings of his own life, so from the perspective of realm, it is closer to Du Fu's poetry. This poem was written by the author after the war, after traveling through the countryside with a sense of feeling.
The title of the poem has written the author's itinerary and the cause of writing very clearly, so at the beginning of the chapter he directly wrote about what he saw: the water is self-oblique from the babbling sun; the flowing water is babbling, the sunset is tilting to the west, which is a very beautiful picture, quiet and rare. One of the reasons why the author grasps the two objects of "flowing water" and "oblique sun" to enter the poem is to point out the time and create an atmosphere.
The oblique sun and the flowing water, one high and one low, the space is staggered. The pictures they form are actually focused on reflecting the meaning of "silence" and "loneliness", so that the reader can initially feel the sense of "negativity" in the poem.
There is also a purpose, that is, to use "flowing water" and "oblique sun" to predict the reversal of time and the transformation of personnel, suggesting the tragic end of the Tang Dynasty's prosperity.
The first sentence initially reflects the emotional color, and the second sentence makes this color very obvious: there are no chicken dogs and crows; we all know that as a village, its most distinctive feature is the smell of fireworks and the smell of life, such as cooking smoke, chicken and dog sounds, etc.; but the villages that the author sees are just the opposite, there is no sound of chickens and dogs, but some are crows that are constantly crying.
This sentence is also an expression of pure scenery, a natural outline of the picture, which corresponds to the previous sentence and vividly reflects the image of "depression".
Crows are a type of bird that likes to move in inhospitable places, but now that they have flown into the village, it proves that the village is almost uninhabited. Therefore, this description of the second sentence, which is clearly writing about crows, is actually telling the reader that the people have left their homes due to war or uprooted, or have lost their lives, in short, the owner here is gone.
The decadence of the scenery reveals the cruelty of reality and the cruelty of war, and from these seven words, we can also deeply appreciate the author's sympathy for the people and the rebuke of war.
With the gradual enrichment of poetry, in the last two sentences, the author further summarizes the images seen, thus reflecting the emotions again: thousands of villages fall like cold food, and there are no people and flowers; looking up, countless villages are like cold food, there is no sign of human habitation, only the flowers in the village are still empty and guarded in place.
For the first two sentences, the content expression of the latter sentences is more clear, which can be seen as a further sublimation of the content of the first two sentences, and it is also a complete introduction to the main idea.
Regarding the ancient cold food festival, I think everyone knows it. When it comes to cold food, people's homes are going to be non-smoking, so everywhere will be a silent scene. For example, in Zhao Yuanshu's "Cold Food Book":
In the lonely Chaimen village, it is also taught to plant willows to remember the years.
Smoking ban is not in cantonese countries, and Kazuka also carries Pang's hometown.
This poem is very realistic about the typical scene of the "Cold Food Festival".
Then Han Wei borrowed the scene of cold food here to describe the scene of the village in front of him, in order to present this depression more vividly and concretely, so that readers can see the difficulty of the people's lives and the destructive power of war, so that they can rise to the thinking of the social and political situation at that time.
From front to back, the poem has been making the most superficial scene description, the author combines "nothing" and "being", "not seeing" and "empty view", and depicts a "post-war village map". Under the bland scenery, the words are full of fierce emotions, and the author's sympathy for the people and his hatred for the war are fully displayed; in addition, it also profoundly reflects the criticism of the imperial court and the people in power, and the reason for all this is precisely because the dynasty at that time was too corrupt to prosper the country and the society, so that "the people will not be able to live" and "the country will not be a country", which is really hateful and sad.
Therefore, Han Wei's poem belongs to a masterpiece that blends the scenes extremely well, seemingly plain, but in fact, it is magnificent and generous, and after reading it, people have to admire its profundity, and also have to admire Han Wei's talent, Li Shangyin really did not praise him.
