Lu Youyong Mei became a swan song
Lu You (1125-1210) was a well-known poet and writer of the Song Dynasty, and his lyrics were no less remarkable. Among them, his Yongmei poem "Fortune Operator" is known as a peerless masterpiece and has been passed down to this day. Through the depiction of plum blossoms, this poem expresses the author's melancholy and patriotism. The imagery and delicate emotional expression in the words have made this poem a classic that has been praised through the ages.
In "Fortune Operator", Lu You describes the difficult situation of plum blossoms with very contagious brushstrokes. He wrote: "Outside the post on the broken bridge, there is no owner. It was already dusk and I was alone, and it was even more windy and rainy. "Plum blossoms bloom alone and helplessly in desolate places, and at dusk they are left alone to bear the cold wind and rain. Such a description makes people sigh at the tenacity and persistence of plum blossoms.
Then, Lu You wrote: "I have no intention of fighting for spring, and I am jealous. Scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant as before. He expressed his reluctance to compete with other flowers, and instead allowed the crowd to be jealous. He likened the withering of plum blossoms to being crushed in mud, but only the fragrance of plum blossoms remained. This perseverance makes the beauty of plum blossoms transcend withering and death, and still maintain its unique charm. This also symbolizes that the landing tour itself, in the bumpy journey of life, still exudes an unwavering literati temperament.
In general, Lu You's "Fortune Operator" depicts the tenacity and persistence of plum blossoms with delicate brushstrokes, and also reflects the author's inner steadfastness and deep affection for the country. With its exquisite artistic expression and profound spiritual resonance, this poem has become an excellent work among Lu You's lyrics, and it is also one of the precious legacies of classical Chinese poetry.
Lu You's self-deprecation of his fate
In addition to Yongmei's lyrics, Lu You's lyrics also include some works that reflect his self-deprecation and bitter feelings about fate, such as "Medicine Picker" and "Looking at Good Things from a Distance".
In "The Medicine Picker", Lu You wrote: "When I came back from drinking and collecting medicines alone, I looked for the village store alone to buy newly brewed wine. The evening smoke swirls around the mountain peaks as high as a barrier, and the sound of fishing boats singing in the evening is in your ears. This poem describes the return of medicine collection and the search for new liquor as a clue, showing the author's idle life and the author's complacent attitude to "looking for a village store alone to buy newly brewed liquor", and the work is mainly written about the scene, and the emotion is light. And "the evening smoke and mist linger on the high mountain peaks like a barrier, and listen to the fishing boats sing at night, the sound is in the ears" depicts the picturesque scenery, and the fishing boats sing the evening to intoxicate the poet. These descriptions reflect the happiness and satisfaction of the poet's life.
In "Looking at Good Things from a Distance", Lu You wrote: "The four cores of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom are in the autumn mountains. When the government is governed and paid to the people, there is no restraint on good people. From the perspective of the "four cores of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom", he has expectations for benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and the cause of thousands of years, and hopes to make a difference. And "when the government governs and pays the people" can be seen as the poet's reminder of his own inadequacy, self-deprecation. Finally, "no restraint on good people" is the embodiment of their own continuous pursuit of enterprising and positive optimism.
Lu You's self-deprecation and bitter feelings about his fate show his deep thinking and understanding of social reality from the side. These works not only have personal feelings, but also have universal value and appeal, allowing readers to ponder the changes in life and society.
