Message: Let a bodhisattva dwell in your heart, do good deeds and love every day to make offerings, and fulfill yourself.
He was stubborn and stubborn, and his life was poor and sad, and most of his poems expressed personal ups and downs and exposed the coldness of the world.
In the twelfth year of Tang Zhenyuan, at the age of 46, he went to Beijing for the third scientific examination [1] at the behest of his mother, and there were also research theories that he had taken the examination six times, but there was no way to verify it, let alone think that he had taken the examination three times, and the third time he entered the army and ascended the throne, on the day of the list, he was ecstatic and suddenly felt that the Guangzong Was honored.
He immediately wrote the first quick poem of his life, "After Dengke":
The filth of the past is not enough to boast, and the debauchery of the present is endless.
The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and the Chang'an flowers can be seen overnight.
In just twenty-eight words, he experienced a happiness that he had never experienced in 46 years, and he was satisfied and achieved a small counterattack, he was Mengjiao.
Forty or so people, decades of small goals have finally been achieved, the excitement is understandable.
If a person loves to laugh, this person often loves to cry, and this personality is also vividly reflected in Mengjiao. The look of despondency in the defeat of the imperial examination is also like a high school student who has been smashed by the exam.
The dawn moon is difficult for the light, and it is difficult for the sad people to be intestines.
Whoever says spring is glorious, sees the frost on the leaves alone.
Eagle wrens lose their momentum, and wrens fly falsely.
Abandonment and abandonment are like sword wounds.
—— Mengjiao", "Falling"
Who says spring is coming and everything is thriving? I only saw the leaves being beaten by frost, encountering unpleasant things or suffering a huge blow, and even the best beauty could not arouse the yaxing of the frustrated.
Later, Meng Jiao took the exam again, unfortunately, and did not achieve good results, so he wrote "Re-next":
Nine times a night, the dream is short and not home.
Twice Chang'an Strange, the air will see tears.
This is the mentality of Mengjiao after the failure of the second examination, lying down at night to sleep, tossing and turning, staying up all night; even if I go to sleep, it is a long night and a short dream, which is exactly the same as the mentality of my failure in the examination and research, the only difference is that I did not write a poem to record it.
Character and affection
Sensitive personality, the same accompanied by delicate feelings, Mengjiao was ordered by his mother to embark on the road of the third imperial examination, the mother played an important role in its road to success, it is this kind of sensitive character, his Mengjiao left a tribute to his mother's ancient famous poem "Wandering Zi Yin", affectionate from the heart, resonates with countless wanderers. Whose mother is not "close to the seam", which wanderer does not want to "repay the three Chunhui!" ”
"The landlady told me a few days ago that her son was very happy when he came home today and came home from school. ...... But the son just didn't come, and she looked a little frustrated. She added that there was another train in the evening, and that maybe he would come. I looked at her and thought of my mother lying in the ground of my hometown, and I really wanted to cry! I know now that mothers in ancient and modern China and abroad are the same! This is a passage of text from ji Xianlin, a master of traditional Chinese studies, who misses his mother, and whenever he reads it, he has a strong resonance.
Huang Xuhua, chief designer of the first generation of nuclear submarines in the Republic, often said: "I really miss my mother." "After his mother's death, he chose only one scarf in her belongings. He said: "In the winter, I don't use the best scarf, only her." I couldn't accompany her when she was alive, and when she left, she had this scarf, as if she were always with me. ”
On the occasion of the New Year, the mothers of the world are the same, the journey of life is like a marathon, no one can always sprint 100 meters, if life encounters difficulties, go home to see your mother, listen to your mother's nagging, if the year is too old, and the mother knocks, how happy.
Personality and attitude towards the world
A good poet often has a compassionate bodhisattva heart, otherwise he will not be able to write an article that penetrates the back of the paper.
Mengjiao Jinshi and later, Jinshi is the highest meritorious name in the imperial examination, and it is reasonable to say that he will generally be assigned to important positions in central government departments or local government departments, but because of his indomitability, he has not been able to stretch his ambitions.
Gao Tang drank from the bell and went to Xiaowen to cook the cannon.
The cold one is willing to burn the anointing of Pihua as a moth.
—— Mengjiao, "The People of the Cold Land"
Like the idea expressed in "Zhumen wine smells of meat, the road has frozen bones", all reflect the suffering of the people, the rich and noble people ring the bell at the night feast, and the aroma of cooking food is still lingering until dawn. The frosted are willing to turn into lantern moths, preferring to be burned to death and rushing to the rich and nobles' decorated candles.
Mengjiao criticized shifeng and rebels, adopted a non-cooperative attitude toward the customs, and won praise that could not have been seen later in the era of the Middle and Tang Dynasties, when the retro style was very strong.
Character with friends
From Mengjiao's poems, it can be seen that he is a good comrade with more emotional and positive values, and this personality has allowed him to make a good friend Han Yu who accompanies him all his life, and the two poetry propositions and styles are relatively close, and there are more exchanges and deep friendship.
Han Yue's life is conceited, and he easily does not praise others, but he has great respect for Mengjiao, who is 17 years old, "I wish to be a cloud, and Dongye will become a dragon." The four sides went up and down the East Field, although there was no reason to part. It can be seen that Han Yu respects MengJiao.
Mengjiao lost 3 sons in a row at the age of 58, and his sorrow and sorrow were beyond words. Han Yu wrote "Meng Dongye Lost Son" to persuade his good friends.
Han Yue joined the army, and Meng Jiao composed the poem "SendIng Han Yu to join the Army",
A chapter is clear and a million hearts are calm.
In front of the drum, smile goodbye to her husband Sheng.
Joy is shared with each other, setbacks are encouraged by each other, they have been friends with each other for 22 years, the relationship has been very close from beginning to end, and it is enough to know oneself in life.
When he is happy, he is like a madman, when he is lost, he is like a child, the most sincere friendship is to his confidant, to lead by example, to honor his parents, he is Meng Jiao, a real ordinary person.
2019 may be the worst year of the past decade, it may also be the best year of the next decade, if 2019 is at a low ebb, I sincerely wish every strivers to work together in the world and harvest their own happiness in 2020.
