"Mountain Residence"
[Song] Ding Zhi
The fragrance of the mouth is clear and fragrant through the seashore, and the four o'clock is full of fragrance and the spring is four o'clock.
The mountains are green and the gui is pitiful, and the valley has Youlan to follow in.
Grass to solve worries and worries, who can smile and smile?
Contending for the Beauty of The Heavenly Circle, Long Recommended Aroma worship of the Hundred Gods.
This "Mountain Residence" is the representative work of the Northern Song Dynasty Prime Minister Ding Zhi, Ding Zhi (966-1037), the word is called Zhizhi, later more characters are said to be public, the ancestors of Hebei, five generations moved to Suzhou. Emperor Zhenzong of Song served as the Governor of The People's Republic of China (1012--1016) from 5 to 9 (1012-1016), and from the third year of Tianxi to the first year of Qianxing (1019-1022), he served as a Counselor and Privy Counsellor, Privy Counsellor, and Tong zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi (正相), for a total of seven years.
"Song Shi Ding Zhi Biography": "It is said that he is astute and resourceful, and xiān (憸) is cunning, and his writing is thousands of words, which can be recited at a glance." In the Third Division, the case is complicated, and the officials have been difficult to understand for a long time, and everyone is relieved when they say a word. Good at talking and laughing, especially like poetry, as for pictures, games, rhythms, all know. ”。 Judging from historical records, Ding Zhi was astute and resourceful, and "the book was never forgotten", which was considered by the famous literary scholar Wang Yuwei at that time to be Wen Chai Han (Yue) and Liu (Zong Yuan), whose poems resembled Du Fu, and called them "the great Confucians of today".
Judging from the historical data, Ding Zhi was an official in the early period and had quite a good deed, especially the restoration of the imperial palace by "killing three birds with one stone", showing superb wisdom. During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, the palace caught fire. At that time, Ding Zhi presided over the reconstruction of the palace, but the soil was far away, so he ordered the soil to be taken from the street to burn bricks, the street became a ditch, the water of the Bian River was channeled into the canal, the building materials were transported into the construction site through the water, and after the palace was repaired, the rubble abandoned by the project was backfilled into the canal, and the canal became a street. "Three battles in one fell swoop, counting hundreds of millions of dollars in provincial costs."
Ding Zhi's talent and wisdom soon stood out and he was constantly promoted, but Ding Zhi was a traitor, sneaking pat horses, when Kou Zhun was the prime minister, Ding Zhi was appointed deputy prime minister, a banquet, Kou Zhun's beard was stained with soup, Ding Yu immediately went forward to wipe it away, but was reprimanded by Kou Zhun's righteous words, and from then on he sought revenge, until Kou Zhun was demoted to Leizhou. Ding Shu also used superstition to fool the emperor, and finally was demoted to the family, and after his death, he was listed in the "Biography of Adultery" and was notorious. Coincidentally, Ding Shu passed by Leizhou when he was demoted to Cliff State, and asked to visit Kou Zhun, but Kou Zhun refused.
However, in terms of talent, Ding is worthy of the name, and the neck link of this poem "Mountain Residence" is "grass to solve worries and worries, who can smile and laugh?" He was greatly praised by Ouyang Xiu, "especially recited by people.". The use of two kinds of flowers and grasses, the forgotten worry grass (Xuancao) and the laughing flower, is inlaid with pairs, and the battle is neat and tidy, which means pun, which is a good pair.
The poem "Mountain Residence" is the work of Ding Shu who was relegated to Yazhou (Sanya). Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, many ethnic groups in the south often lived in caves, so later the villages in some areas were called "峒" or "Xi Pass", and the residents of each area were called "峒蛮". "Tongqi" should refer to like-minded and like-minded people; "houchen" refers to rising stars; "kuàng" refers to the wilderness, and "recommend" to make offerings and offerings.
The meaning of the poem "Mountain Residence" is: Hainan is located on the seashore, with four seasons like spring, lush flowers and plants, and overflowing with fragrance. The osmanthus flowers in the mountains are evergreen, and the orchids bloom in the valley. It is reminiscent of osmanthus flowers that grow next to each other and support each other; and orchids always come first (orchids bloom as new seedlings, old plants rarely bloom). It is said that the grass can relieve worries, but what about worries? Laughing flowers show people with laughter, so who is laughing? (Although the Central Plains is beautiful), how can it be compared to how I am in a fairyland like a god, spring all year round, and I can often use flowers to offer many gods, (how pleasant!) ）
The poetry of "Mountain Residence" has high artistic expression, puns in words, witty words, quite deprecating meaning, and also reflects Ding Shu's optimism and open-mindedness from the side. Unfortunately, his character is inferior, so from the background and poetic conception, it is not high. However, since ancient times, "good people do not live long, and disasters live for a thousand years", Ding Zhi was exiled for 15 years, although he was raided, he died with a high life expectancy (72 years old), which is also a good death.
Ding said, "Grass to solve worries and worries, who can smile and smile?" "Famous sentences are highly respected, and there is no magic right. The Song dynasty Guo Yingxiang had "who to laugh at to death, to be and fold to ask in detail", the poet Zhao Fan had "a smile at the beginning of the smile, an unknown name to whom; Erjin Gu has a Yanran shape, not laughing at the spring wind but laughing at winter." Yang Wanli also "laughed at each other without knowing it, laughing at killing people to kill intestines." They were all asking Han Laughing, and the Ming Dynasty poet Wang Zuo answered this question, his poem "Han Laughing": "Yao Grassland can refer to the courtiers, and every flower xiu asks who laughs; Jun looks at Qingshi Qiannian laughs, and Xi Stops the Mountain Flowers from laughing for a spring." (Yao Cao: A kind of sacred grass that is said to grow in the court of The Yao Emperor, it can distinguish between good and evil, and every adultery must be pointed out, also known as Qu Cao, Qu Yi, zhi Yu Cao), pointing out that laughter is only a flower blossoming a spring, smiling to show people, even if it is ridiculed, it is not as good as the adulterous minister Ding Zhi, and it has been ridiculed by posterity for a thousand years.
