In spring, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is gorgeous, attracting countless tourists to appreciate and praise. But beauty can't last long, and Fanghua is always so short-lived, and it can't help the repeated invasion of wind and rain. Whenever the flowers and branches withered and the remnants were everywhere, the literati and writers could not suppress their sadness and sadness, and wrote poems one after another to express their cherishing of spring.
As Bai Juyi said, he was worried about staying in the twilight rain, and he was called back by the remnant warbler in spring. People don't seem to have changed into light clothes, the cherry blossoms and peach blossoms on the branches have disappeared, and the begonia flowers have also lost their original bright colors in the rain, which makes people sigh. The following shares a poem that laments the seven laws of spring, with a rigorous structure and a pun, which is worthy of being a good article in the late Tang Dynasty poetry circle.
The end of spring
Late Tang · Han Hao
Cherish the spring for days of drunkenness, and after waking up, the clothes saw wine marks.
The fine water floats and flowers return to the stream, and the broken clouds and rain enter the lonely village.
People are easy to hate when they are idle, and it is difficult to recruit ancient souls.
I am ashamed that the warblers are kind, and I still go to the West Garden in the early morning.
Han Wei is a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty, he has been intelligent since he was a child, likes literary creation, and his talent has also been appreciated by Li Shangyin. Han Hao's career was relatively smooth in his early years, and he was also deeply trusted and reused by the emperor. But because he was ostracized and framed by traitors, he had to leave the danger and wander around.
In his later years, the poet lived in Nan'an, Fujian, although his life was hard, but because he was far away from the hustle and bustle, he was able to create poetry with peace of mind, and was called one of the "Four Sages of Nan'an" by later generations. This poem was written during the poet's seclusion in Nan'an, and the scene is lyrical, and it also conveys the poet's concern about the precarious situation of the Tang Dynasty.
Han Wei Jinshi and the later retired counselor, Hanlin bachelor, and later served as a military squire in the Tang Zhaozong era. After Tang Zhaozong was killed, Han Hao felt that the court was sinister, so he had to go south into Fujian. During this period, the poet once recited "The high pavilion group is not jealous of Nong, and Nong's heart is not in the name of the eunuch", indicating his intention to retreat. However, after all, the poet once served as the minister of the humerus of the imperial court, and it is impossible to completely forget the past, and he has always been concerned about the people of the society.
The opening chapter is a topic, describing the author's feelings about the end of spring, "I cherish the spring and get drunk and faint for days, and I see wine marks on my clothes after waking up." The poet lamented that spring disappeared so quickly that even if you look around, it is difficult to find any trace of spring. The talented man was depressed, so he had to keep borrowing wine to kill his sorrows. The first sentence describes before the end of spring, and the second sentence shows that after the end of spring, the author uses "faint, wine marks" to express the sigh after the absence of flowers, as well as the sadness of the end of spring.
Jaw couplet writes the scene, "The fine water floating flowers return to the stream, and the clouds and rain enter the lonely village." "A trickle of water, carrying floating flowers, flows nowhere, and intermittent clouds drift in the wind, and rain falls in the poet's lonely village.
The poet's technique is exquisite, first writing "floating flowers", and then writing "containing rain", deliberately reversing the relationship between cause and effect, but highlighting a kind of sad spring, and the words and sentences are also full of a bleak mood.
This couplet is a pun, and it has also been praised by later generations. On the one hand, the poet lamented that the wind and rain destroyed the flowers, and on the other hand, he also used this as a metaphor for the Tang Dynasty, which was like a remnant flower on the branches, constantly swaying in the bleak wind and cold rain, and finally inevitably fell.
The neck couplet is lyrical, "People are easy to hate when they are idle, and it is difficult to recruit ancient souls when they are victorious." "The poet lives a life of idleness in Nan'an, and it is easy to perceive the signs of the change of seasons on weekdays, so once the rain hits the branches and the wind blows the flowers fall, it will be very sensitive to trigger a sense of sorrow.
In the past, when poets were working in the capital, they would frequent their old friends, and when they encountered some troubles, they would comfort each other and tell each other about their hearts. But now that he is alone, far away from his homeland, he has no familiar faces and no soul of the ancients, and he really feels extremely tormented.
The ending is even more intriguing, "I am ashamed that the warbler is kind, and I still go to the West Garden in the early morning." The poet said that although he was unaccompanied in the West Garden, fortunately, there were still yellow warblers who often patronized him, which could relieve the depression in his heart.
Writing this, the poet seems to be in a cheerful mood, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, this is just the author's pretense of openness. If Huang Ying can relieve his worries, why does the poet tell at the beginning that he drank glass after glass, so that he was covered with wine marks?
Han Hao's poem begins with a title, the jaw couplet writes the scene, the neck couplet is lyrical, and the end echoes the beginning, which seems to have a rigorous structure. At the same time, the author also borrowed the scene to lyrical, using a pun to show a sad mood of worrying about the country and the people, which is worthy of being a masterpiece for the world!
