One of the 300 Tang poems was a classic long poem, which was also our language text when we were in middle school, and it needed to be memorized at large lengths.
This ancient poem is Bai Juyi's "Pipa Line".
Bai Juyi's Tang poem has about 680 words. It is the longest ancient poem among the 300 Tang poems. Limited by space, we will not show the full text here, but simply summarize it in several parts.
The first part is that when Bai Juyi was sending off the guests, he heard someone playing the pipa and then wrote a large-scale description of the beautiful music played by the pipa girl. The second part combines the fate of the pipa girl, so that Bai Juyi has a feeling of pity for the same disease, and the most representative verse of this is that sentence that is also a fallen person at the end of the world, why should they have known each other when they met.
At that time, Bai Juyi was 45 years old and held the position of Sima of Jiangzhou. For a long time, he paid attention to the lives of ordinary people and wrote a large number of satirical poems. Just like the "Charcoal Seller" that we are very familiar with, and the "Guan Mokma" and so on. Such poetry is somewhat highly inherited in the folk. But it lies in the court that whitewashes the Taiping. Such poems are obviously very unpopular. Moreover, because of repeatedly offending the magnates, Bai Juyi was finally involved in the disputes of the court, because the poems were framed and successively degraded to the title of Jiangzhou Assassin History, Jiangzhou Sima (江州司馬).
Although Bai Juyi was in the court, he also had the heart to realize his life ambitions. But after experiencing such a frame-up, I was very disappointed in my heart. And in the post of Sima of Jiangzhou. Bai Juyi got acquainted with this pipa girl, felt sympathy for the pipa girl's physical and mental suffering, and then thought that he had ruined a great future because he was framed, and felt even more sinister, and he and the pipa girl had the same disease and pity.
In a frustrated life, we must always find an outlet in order to find the balance of the inner world. Whether it is Bai Juyi or Pipa Girl, both of them have fallen from the bustling capital to here. The glory of the past has become history, and they all sigh in the face of the status quo.
Even more profound is the fear that Bai Juyi contains in his poems that he has no future and is likely to achieve nothing. At the age of 13, the pipa girl was already highly skilled in playing the piano, crowned the capital, and was even jealous of her peers, and then gained the favor of many rich children at that time. But this belonged to the lower nine after all, so when he was old and faded, he was quickly left out in the cold, and eventually he could only marry a businessman. Merchants value profits and light separation, so pipa women can only guard empty houses alone for many times.
Among them, Bai Juyi may also see his own future.
Bai Juyi became famous at a young age, but later encountered twists and turns, and achieved nothing politically. Bai Juyi was also already in the gold list when he was 16 years old, and later became an official in the capital, but when he was forty or fifty years old, he encountered such a degraded experience. When you get older, you find that you really can't achieve anything?
They are all so. As ordinary people today, we will have such experiences many times. Therefore, when we read today that we are also fallen people at the end of the world, when we meet each other, we also contain lamentations about the frustration of our lives. Everyone aspires to something. Everyone also longs to live this life in the scenery. But unfortunately, most of us come from dust and end up with dust. We belong to that majority, most of us are mediocre, all do nothing, although there is a lot of chicken soup that says we can achieve ourselves, but unfortunately this is not the truth.
The same is the end of the world fell people, when they met, why should they have known each other. Although Bai Juyi was degraded at that time, he had a high status. How could he have regarded a pipa girl as a confidant and pity him with the same disease at that time?
