The road of life is rugged and bumpy, and the stage of life often stages a big drama of joy and sorrow, pain always lasts for a long time, and happiness seems to be only for a moment. The more tribulations a person goes through in this world, the more profound the truth can be realized.
In ancient times, a talented man had rich experience in his life, he was a wise man under Fan Zhongyan, Zeng Gong, one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, also worshipped him as a teacher, and Zhu Xi, a great Confucian in the Southern Song Dynasty, highly praised his brilliant thoughts. This talented man lived a leisurely and selfless life in his later years, and left many excellent chapters for future generations. The following is an introduction to the two poems and five rules of Li Jing in the Northern Song Dynasty, the first is intended to be beyond words, and the second is a pun.
Living alone
Northern Song · Li Jing
The moss roots are straddled and hairy, and the white rain is full of eaves.
Spring sleep is lazy to go to the pillow, who opens the curtain at noon.
The dust is wrapped in wine, and the insects are bookmarked.
Rong Le doesn't want it, and he doesn't want it.
Li Ji, the name Taibo, a famous thinker of the Northern Song Dynasty, lived in the period of Song Zhenzong and Song Renzong, he founded the Huangjiang Academy, known as Mr. Huangjiang. Li Jing wrote a lot of books in his life, and his academic ideas also had an important impact on the Song Dynasty and beyond, and he was also known as the teacher of later learning. This poem describes the author's solitary life, showing a broad mind that is indifferent to fame and fortune.
The poet begins with an old house with a wide view and a clear stream behind it, but because of its disrepair, every time it rains heavily, the roof leaks, and the room is full of mold, and the walls and steps are covered with a thick layer of moss.
But the poet disagreed, as if these things were supposed to be part of life, and there was no need to make a fuss, and he did not have time to clean them up. The poet slept until three o'clock in the morning, and sometimes he didn't bother to open the curtains even if he slept until late afternoon. These two lines reflect the poet's leisurely and leisurely situation, because there is no mundane fetters and no need to worry about fame and fortune, so he will sleep peacefully.
"The dust is wrapped in wine, and the insects are bookmarked", these two sentences describe the situation in the house. Although the containers where the drinks were stored were dusty and silverfish were visible to the naked eye on the bookmarks, the poet was reluctant to sweep and dry. The words "wrapped, engraved" must have been deliberated for a long time, delicately depicting the density of dust and dust, and the degree of damage to the bookmark.
The ending is in the form of a rhetorical question, which is intended to be beyond words. The author said that people in the world who do not envy glory and who do not want to enjoy themselves to the fullest are "not righteous and stubborn." The poet is not uneaten, and he also knows that horses have no night grass and no fat, but a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, not to mention that he has already experienced all kinds of hardships in the world, and he knows that profit is also a shackle, so even if the author is not hateful, he has no greed in his heart.
Idleness
There is nothing to work on, and the empty suburbs are closed.
The rain is broken, and the poor drinkers are withered.
The world is full of dangers, and it is only when you wake up from a dream.
Concentric only pine and cypress, see me still green.
Although he had been appreciated and recommended by Fan Zhongyan, because he had been subordinate, the poet simply retired from home in his later years, and wrote books and lectures while serving his old mother. Li Jing's family was poor and his life was poor, and he once called himself "a pariah in Nancheng and a grass man outside the city", but his character and knowledge were praised by later generations.
The poet lived a reclusive life in his later years, without too many worries, and did not need to usher in various occasions for sending and socializing, and his mood seemed very calm. He lives in an open area in the suburbs, closing his door every day, but he doesn't care about the coldness of the door.
In the spring, the drizzle continues, and many gorgeous flowers appear to be broken, and it is a miserable green and red scene. Visitors are scarce, many elderly people have passed away one after another, and the poet has a hard time, often pouring himself drinks, half-drunk and half-awake, and often comes to mind those beautiful pictures of the past.
"The world is very dangerous, and only then can you wake up from a dream", these two sentences are thought-provoking. Life is often like walking on thin ice, like being at the confluence of two rivers, which makes people feel dangerous. Those so-called talents and fame are like floating clouds on the horizon, and they are like Nanke's dreams. When I woke up from the big dream, I realized that everything was just an illusion.
The ending is worth perusing, "Concentric only pines and cypresses, see me still green." "The poet said that the world has seen me gray-haired and old, and only the pines and cypresses in the towering sky are of the same heart as me, and they seem to know me very well and still be like a young man. The last two sentences are a pun, which not only expresses the noble character of the poet, but also conveys that the poet still has a childlike heart, which is admirable!
