Life should be a journey of beauty.
Calm down and read the poem.
【Origin】
The Analects says, "If a state has a way, it is a good thing, and if there is no way in a state, it can be rolled up and cherished." ”
This sentence is an evaluation of Yu Boyu, in fact, it is also the master's own way.
Confucius's life in this life is also "in the middle of the perching generation", which is generally the same as The "Roll and Cherish" of Yu Boyu.
What is it to do, I still think about it, but it does not manifest itself in action.
Confucius still wanted to enter politics and restore the Zhou Dynasty liturgy in his heart, but later found that there was no hope, so he returned to Luguo to study and teach students.
With this sentence, I would like to share with you a very classic poem by Li Shangyin.
Li Shangyin can also be regarded as a typical example of "if there is no way in the state, it can be swept away", although he was forced to leave the court on his own initiative.
In the poem, Li Shangyin compares himself to Chang'e, compares his own fall with Chang'e's loneliness, and compares himself to the elixir in Chang'e's hand, comparing himself to his unique talent that is not used by the world.
Read the poem first, and then talk a little bit about your understanding of the poem.
【Psalms】
Chang'e Li Shangyin [Tang Dynasty] Mica screen candle shadow deep, the long river gradually fell Hyosung sink. Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, the blue sea and the blue sky and night heart.
【Recitation】
The title of the poem is "Chang'e", but the opening two sentences write about a woman on the earth and on earth. "Chang'e" appears only once in the third sentence, as a carrier of emotion.
I suspect that this poem originally did not have a title, but was written by later generations to add the title of "Chang'e" to it.
Why not choose another word? After all, Chang'e is in line with this poem, if you use the first sentence "mica", "screen" and "long river" as the title, it is a bit unusual.
Let's look at what kind of emotion this poem talks about.
The first sentence is purely about the scene, the character is hiding behind the scenes, is the eye that observes the scene.
On the mica screen, the shadow of the candlelight is getting deeper and deeper, suggesting that the light of the outside world is getting fainter and fainter.
I think the sun is setting and the moon is full of sky.
Because the moon is bright, the stars are naturally slightly dim.
So the Milky Way gradually fell and the hysteresis sank.
Some scholars have researched that the hyosung here refers to the daystar that appears in the early morning. Based on this, the time of writing of this poem can be determined early in the morning of the day.
The protagonist of the poem, then, sat indoors for a whole night. I didn't do anything, just looked at the shadow of the candlelight on the screen, and looked at the dim stars in the sky.
Occasionally I think about my own thoughts, and I have no sleep all night.
The last two sentences are talking about the protagonist's thoughts. It turned out that she was thinking about Chang'e.
Tonight the moonlight is bright, and Chang'e lives on it and looks down on the human world, so she should live happily, right?
This is the child's idea.
The woman thought: Chang'e, I think you should regret stealing the elixir in the first place. Is it not good to be an ordinary and happy couple in the human world and Houyi, why do you have to come to the moon and endure endless loneliness and cold?
"Blue Sea, Blue Sky, Night Heart" is to describe Chang'e's living conditions in the Guanghan Palace.
Look at the blue sea, look at the blue sky; look up at the sky, look at the sky, everywhere lonely.
Who sparked Li Shangyin's desire to write this poem? We don't know. It is also unclear whether the heroine in the poem has a realistic mapping object.
However, Li Shangyin's poems have used chang'e deeds to describe the situation of Taoist women. The protagonist here is likely to be a talented and affectionate female Taoist priest in the Taoist temple at that time.
Chang'e's elixir, this sustenance is much more obvious.
Because Chang'e took the elixir and soared into an immortal, she also endured endless loneliness.
Li Shangyin, because of his outstanding talent, did not fit in with the world, so he was depressed in the late Tang Dynasty society.
Writing about Chang'e's loneliness is also writing about her own loneliness; writing about Chang'e's regret is saying that she has no regrets.
Li Shangyin wrote the sentence "In the dust of the world, I would rather love and hate", he does not regret coming to the world, and he does not regret having seven emotions and six desires, and he does not regret his loneliness.
Li Shangyin is like a poignant tragedy of the late Tang Dynasty.
It is precisely because of the beauty and sublimity of Chang'e that his encounter and his tragedy are even more moving.
