Today I read Du Mu's poem "Will Go to Wu Xingdeng to Travel to the Original Unique", quite touching, the original text is as follows:
Qing Shi has a taste is incompetent, and he loves lonely clouds and loves monks.
If you want to go to the river and the sea, you can look at Zhaoling on the original road.
This poem expresses the poet's attitude towards life during the Taiping period and his nostalgia for the past history.
Du Mu chose the two images of "lonely cloud" and "monk" in "Will Go to Wuxingdeng to Travel to the Original Place", mainly to express his personal attitude and state of mind.
First of all, "Lonely Cloud" symbolizes an unfettered and free state of life. In the poem, Du Mu expressed his yearning and love for a leisurely and comfortable life through the expression "idle love lonely clouds".
This attitude to life reflects Du Mu's attitude of detachment and indifference to fame and fortune in the face of officialdom disputes and world affairs.
Secondly, "monk" represents a pure and indifferent spiritual realm. In Buddhism, monks usually live a simple, pure life, and they seek inner peace and tranquility. In the poem, Du Mu expressed his appreciation and pursuit of this pure and indifferent spiritual realm through the expression "Jing Ai Monk". This spiritual realm also reflects Du Mu's indifferent to fame and fortune and detachment in the face of complex and changeable world affairs.
Du Mu's choice of "lonely cloud" and "monk" in the poem is mainly used to express his personal attitude and state of mind, that is, yearning for a leisurely and comfortable life, and pursuing a pure and indifferent spiritual realm. This attitude to life and state of mind also reflects Du Mu's attitude of detachment and indifference to fame and fortune in the face of complex and changeable world affairs.
The poet conveys an attitude of life that is detached from the world and pursues inner peace. Each line reveals the poet's detachment from the mundane life and his yearning for a quiet life.
This sentiment is reflected in many classical Chinese poems, especially among literati and writers, who often express their desire to get away from the hustle and bustle and return to nature.
Of course, this attitude of the poet is based on a deep understanding and practice of traditional culture. His "indifference" is a kind of philosophical contemplation and the embodiment of life wisdom, rather than simply escaping or giving up.
Du Mu's attitude to life is similar to the modern "lying flat", but his "lying flat" is more integrated with the ideas of indifferent ambition and tranquility in traditional Chinese culture, which is a deeper embodiment of life philosophy and life wisdom.
In busy days, there should be a gentleness, but not a compromise,
When others are busy carrying money home, do you dare to go home early?
We must be quiet, unhurried and strong, not only have our own poetry and distance, but also occasionally be rotten and arrogant.
There is always someone who is a waste, why can't it be me? a wasted and interesting, wasted and useful recreature!
May you always find that moment of peace and relaxation in these busy days.
May your soul be like a clear spring that washes away all fatigue, and may your smile be like a warm sunshine that illuminates every corner.
Busy and leisurely, idle and happy, may you live a good life and be in a happy mood!
