The "tragedy" caused by a poem
There was a little poet in the Tang Dynasty, not that he was famous, but that he was very young when he died, less than thirty years old.
It is said that this young man wrote a poem "Generation of Sorrowful White-headed Man", and hurriedly gave it to his uncle, the great poet Song Zhiqing, asking for comments, and the result was that Song Zhi asked this old guy to see the "similar flowers from year to year, and different from year to year", and at that time he wanted to take it for himself. He thought of a poison plan and used a dirt bag to crush his nephew Xiao Liu to death.
Of course, this is just a legend, it cannot be believed, but Song Zhi asked this guy if his character is really not good, he has hollowed out the dragon bed of Wu Zetian in his heart all his life, but he has been repeatedly rejected because of bad breath, and it is strange that this character is not choreographed.
This story also reflects the goodness of Liu Xiyi's poem from the side, let's look at the whole poem:
Luoyang City East Peach Plum Flower, flying around and landing whose house?
Luoyang's daughter cherished the color and sat down to see the falling flowers sigh long.
This year's flowers fall color change, next year's flowers bloom again who is in?
I have seen the pine and cypress destroyed for pay, and I have heard that the mulberry fields have turned into the sea.
The ancients did not return to the east of Luocheng, and today's people still have a wind of falling flowers.
The flowers are similar from year to year, but different from year to year.
Sending a message to the full red face, should pity the half-dead whitehead.
This man's white head is really pitiful, and Ishi's red face is beautiful teenager.
Under the tree of Prince Sun Fang, before the Flowers Fall in a song and dance.
Guanglu Chitai Wen Splendid Embroidery, General Pavilion Painting Immortals.
Once sick and without acquaintance, who is the side of the three spring pleasures?
How long can it be like turning a moth's eyebrows? The crane's hair was as messy as silk.
But looking at the ancient song and dance land, only the dusk birds and birds are sad.
The poem is very long, right, don't be afraid, it is actually very simple, just need to be divided into two paragraphs to read:
The first paragraph is from the beginning of "Luoyang City East Peach plum flower" to the 12th sentence "years and years are different", this paragraph is to write about falling flowers, he saw the falling flowers in Luoyang City, he remembered life, said that although this flower is grateful for the flowers, but it will blossom next year, and people will also age, but there is no youth.
From the falling flowers to think of life, the second paragraph will be a big sigh, to the falling flowers as a comparison, the rise of the sorrow of the white-headed man, so the title of the poem is called "Generation of Sorrows white-headed".
He said, "Send a message of full prosperity of red faces", you teenagers, listen to my advice, "should pity the half-dead white-headed man", respect for the elderly is a traditional virtue, do not laugh at them old and ugly, think of that year, who is not hooked and lost a delicate flower, "This weng white head is really pitiful, Ishi red face beautiful teenager." ”
When you were young, you also sang and danced with Wang Sun Gongzi, "Under the tree of Prince Wang Sun Fang, before the light song and man dance fell";
Drink and have fun with the great general, and live a happy life like a god, "Guanglu Pond Terrace opens a splendid embroidery, and the General Pavilion paints immortals";
It's just that later I got old and sick, and the waves didn't move, "Once I was sick and didn't know each other, who was the side of sanchun Xingle?" ”
Let's talk about those graceful little sisters in the liquor bureau, they were once beautiful girls who sang and danced well, and now they are not the same as those with white hair? "When the moth's eyebrows can be turned, the whiskered crane's hair is as messy as silk."
No one can escape the sadness of old age, you see this pavilion, this pavilion, this aristocratic garden, which used to be the place where they held their party, is now just a ruin, and a few birds and finches cry on this ruin every day at dusk, as if they are singing a sad song.
Do you see that it is very simple, to rise up with falling flowers, to cause the sorrow of the white head, by the way to take a moral lesson of respecting the old and loving the young, not to mention Liu Xiyi, this young man, 20 years old, this character, this enlightenment, this realm, than his bad-smelling uncle, I don't know where to go.
Unfortunately, Liu Xiyi died young, he can only write about the sorrow of the bald man from the perspective of a teenager, if he can live two more 20 years old, maybe he can understand that the old lady can go to Kang - can also give the grandfather a whole lot of fun.
