Su Lin, a "lazy" poet of the Song Dynasty: Only 2 sentences were written in a poem, and this poem was recited through the ages

Speaking of the Song Dynasty, many people will think of "

Heavy text and light force

"These four words, coupled with the lack of war horses in the Song Dynasty, and then think that the Song Dynasty is a one"

Poor and weak

" country. As everyone knows, the Song Dynasty is not only not weak, but also very powerful, it is the first dynasty in Chinese history with a population of more than 100 million, which is mainly due to the "tone" set by the Kai Dynasty Emperor -

Govern the country with culture

。

Govern the country with culture, and emphasize literature over force

, does not mean that the country will be weakened, the Song Dynasty never killed the rules of the civilian subjects, so that most of the literati dare to say and dare to do, dare to love and dare to hate,

A healthy society cannot have only one voice

。 Enlightened politics made the rebellion of the Song Dynasty very rare, and most of the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

In addition, a large number of talented literati emerged in the Song Dynasty, and six of the famous Tang and Song dynasties were Song Dynasty people.

And the poet who is known as the most "lazy" poet in history, also from the Song Dynasty, wrote only two sentences of a poem

。 As the saying goes, a lazy man has a lazy blessing, but the poet's poem of only two sentences was recited through the ages and later condensed into a familiar idiom

"Near water terrace"

And he himself was reused for this poem, the most "lazy" poet

Su Lin

The background of Su Lin's writing of "Broken Sentences"

Looking at the poets of various dynasties, they all have one thing in common,

That is, the desire to express the true thoughts of one's heart through poetry euphemisms

The poet's inner world is also very different, and the poems he writes naturally have their own charm.

As everyone knows

Fan Zhongyun

be

Famous politician and writer of the Northern Song Dynasty

What is unforgettable is that he is always so lenient to his subordinates, often recommending his subordinates, so that subordinates can develop better, I have to say,

Fan Zhongyan is the Bole of many Maxima.

It is said that when Fan Zhongyan was an official in Zhejiang, his subordinates all became officials through his recommendation, and only one person missed this best period, and this person was Su Lin. During the period when Fan Zhongyan recommended his subordinates,

Su Lin was not by Fan Zhongyun's side because of the reason for going out to run errands, and Fan Zhongyan naturally did not know about Su Lin's existence.

In order to express his inner unwillingness, but also to attract Fan Zhongyan's attention, Su Lin wrote a poem "Broken Sentences" - a poem with only two sentences. The content of this poem is:

Near the water tower platform first to get the moon, the sunflower flowers and trees are easy to spring

This poem is not only extremely short, but also particularly easy to understand

Near the water platform first get the moon: if a platform is close to the water's edge, there is often no tree shade, you can see the projection of the moon first; sunflowers and trees are easy to spring: flowers and trees facing the sun can receive more sunlight, so they can germinate quickly, and nature is most likely to form a spring scene.

Needless to say, in this "Broken Sentence",

Su Lin compared the official position to the moon and spring, and Fan Zhongyun to water and sun

This means that the people around Fan Zhongyan have more opportunities to become officials, and they are far away from home, so naturally they do not have the opportunity to be promoted. Perhaps this poem is in the eyes of others to seduce Fan Zhongyun, but the talented Fan Zhongyan understands that Su Lin is a talented person, he just lacks an opportunity to make him shine, and Fan Zhongyan is willing to be the one who can help him.

After "Broken Sentences"

Su Lin watched his colleagues get promoted and raised one by one, but he did not move in the same place, and gradually felt a little unwilling.

Because he knows that he is not inferior to others, but he does not have the opportunity to show his talents

。 But he could not use money to bribe Fan Zhongyun, after thinking about it, he thought of a way to have the best of both worlds, not only did not bribe his superiors, but also achieved his own goals.

"Broken Sentences" comes from this.

Brilliantly written, one article

"Yueyang Lou"

Famous all over the world, Su Lin used the excuse of seeking knowledge of poetry to write down :"Near the water tower platform first gets the moon, and the flowers and trees in the sun are easy for spring." Others can't see through his approach, so how can the great literary hero Fan Zhongyun not understand?

From "Broken Sentences", Fan Zhongyan knew very well that Su Lin was complaining to himself——

The career is not going well

。 However, Fan Zhongyan did not immediately recommend Su Lin, but after observing for a period of time, he felt that Su Lin was loyal and capable, and then decided to recommend him.

With the change of dynasties and the changes of the times, people use more and more "near the water tower platform first to get the moon, the sunflower flowers and trees are easy to spring", nowadays, this poem can not only be used in the career, but also in love, and even only use the four words "near the water tower" to let others understand the meaning they want to express. For example, the writer Xiao Qian in his collection of essays

"A Faded Album"

There's a passage like this:

He works in the library of Tsinghua University, near the water tower, and can see the latest books and periodicals

”。

But this verse also has a pejorative usage, which many people tend to use

Satirize the situation of using the power of those around you to get care and take the lead in profit.

It is gold that always shines

Su Lin's experience always reminds people of a common saying -

It's gold, it's always shining

。 When others were promoted and raised, he still stayed where he was, but Su Lin knew in his heart that this did not mean that he had failed, and one day, the faint light emitted by being obscured by others would be discovered.

It's gold, it's always going to shine, and there's no doubt that if you want to shine, you have to be gold. If you want to become gold, first of all, you have to have real materials, just like Bole and Maxima, if you want to meet your own Bole, the premise is that you must become a Maxima. In this rapidly developing modern society,

Only by putting in a thousand times more effort can you realize your dreams and get what you want.

Secondly, you have to have a strong heart, as hard as gold. In this world, no matter what we do, the first step should always be to establish a goal, and then we have to make an effort, and the last and most important step is

You can't give up halfway, but you should learn to persevere

。 You can't blame anyone for the failure caused by giving up halfway, and you can't complain about why you obviously paid so much and still can't succeed. Because you surrender yourself, without any other factors, you have failed completely and utterly.

Therefore, on the road of life, in the journey of doomed loneliness, no matter what we encounter, we must not forget to elevate ourselves from it, build ourselves into a shining gold, and always believe:

Happy days will always come, and gold will always shine.
