In the history of Chinese poetry, there are countless treasures of absolute sentences. The ancients used "holding the hand of the son, and the son with the old age" to promise a lifetime; Du Mu used "the smoke cage cold water moon cage sand, the night berth Qinhuai near the restaurant" to depict the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan; Wang Wei highlighted the scenery by "the desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the long river is sunset".
But there is such a poet, known as the ghost of writing poetry, known as the "poet ghost", is another talented poet of romanticism after Li Bai. He once wrote down the absolute sentence "If the sky is full of love, the sky is old", but no one could say the next sentence for 200 years, until a frustrated drunkard in the Song Dynasty gave the perfect next sentence, that is, "The moon is as full as no hate".
If the sky is affectionate, it is also old
"If the heavens have feelings, the heavens are also old", if the heavens have feelings, it will also be as old as the world, the last sentence comes from Li He's "Golden Bronze Immortals Ci Han Song", the whole poetry is unique, borrowing the Han Wu Emperor as the honor of the Nine-Five, and finally like the autumn wind and leaves, the deeds of this life are expressed to express the pain of the country and the sorrow of life.
And this absolute sentence born in the whole poem, the uniqueness of the idea, was called "strange and absolutely wrong" by the famous literary historian Sima Guang, on the one hand, borrowing from heaven to express Li He's huaicai's state of mind that does not meet with sadness, on the other hand, it also reflects that the changes in all things are merciless, and life in the world, in the face of difficult situations, many times are helpless.
Li He's life is a genius out of youth, but his full of enthusiasm is constantly whipped by reality, he was born in a lonely aristocratic family when he was young, from an early age he was still carefree, full of poetry, at the age of 7 can write poetry, is a well-known local prodigy. But keju's frustration, the jealousy of outsiders, and the inability to see a bright future all weakened his light again and again until he died of illness at home at the age of 27.
Although the life he experienced was very cruel and realistic, the poems he left behind were full of romantic fantasies. He can't get the love of the world, but he can form a perfect combination of his talent and imagination. A "Dream Heaven" and a set of "Horse Poems" and this ancient sentence established his status as the Three Li of the Tang Dynasty, and his style is still praised by posterity.
The moon is always full as a hate-free moon
Since the advent of Li He's "Heavenly Love, Heaven Is Old", it has become a sensation and caused countless literati to compare. Ouyang Xiu, one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, once made a mistake: "If the wound is separated from the embrace, if the heavens have love, the heavens are also old", and the late Jin dynasty writer Yuan Haoqing also wrote: "If the heavens have feelings, the heavens are also old." The world is only merciless and good. In addition, there have been countless literati and scholars in successive dynasties to quote it, and even formed a cultural inheritance in the poetry world, which shows its far-reaching influence.
However, in the long river of history, only one person has the most appropriate next sentence, and this sentence has come out, alarming four seats, and this next link is the Song Dynasty Shi Yannian's "Moon is like a moon without hatred." The reason why he was able to write this sentence so neatly in one word was also related to his experience and state of mind.
Shi Yannian, like Li He, also attached importance to the imperial examination but failed to do so repeatedly, and finally found a small position in the imperial court, but within a few years he was reported and then dismissed from the post. Ordinary people will be depressed when they encounter such a thing, but he is very calm and calm in the face of this matter. He was a proud man all his life and loved to drink, and this link was blurted out when he was drunk, but he achieved a unique song for eternity.
Only this life, contentment and happiness
Although this up-down link spanned two hundred years to be completed, these two seemingly confrontational sentences reflect two completely different states of mind. The same is not smooth in his career, but in Li He's place, it is sad and desolate, expressing the author's many dissatisfaction with society. But in Shi Yannian's hands, he was free, and although he had hatred, he could dissolve himself.
In life, you will encounter various difficulties and setbacks, but you must learn to be "content and happy". Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, once taught his students: "There is no greater misfortune than dissatisfaction, and no more guilt is greater than desire, so contentment is often enough." There is no greater evil under heaven than incomprehension, and the greatest sin is insatiable greed, so the satisfaction of knowing how to be satisfied is eternal.
In the face of difficulties, only by understanding the foot can we smooth our mentality and start again. And if it is just a blind complaint, then this life will only end in depression.
brief summary
The phrase "If the heavens are affectionate and the heavens are old, and the moon is always round if there is no hatred" came from the heart of Li He, a poet ghost at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and was not completed until the song dynasty's bold Shi Yannian completed it, seemingly a group of up and down links, but connecting two completely different lives.
Seemingly plain life, but everywhere is full of many unsatisfactory, Li He's genius teenager is difficult to lift, Shi Yannian's job is empty, the development of things is always not what people want, but calm mentality, understand enough, in order to better spend a lifetime.
