Those who husband heaven and earth are also the rebels of all things; Those who have passed through time are also passers-by for hundreds of generations.
Everyone's seemingly long life is a drop in the ocean in the long river of time, insignificant.
If anyone can leave a trace in the vast history, it is a lucky thing.
After all, history books are too mean, so mean that a person's life can be finished in just a few words.
Time has never been gentle to anyone, and most men, women, and children of different eras have lived their lives in silence with sorrow or joy and no one knows.
A fierce man in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Huan Wen, once said: "The eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, and he cannot be remembered for a hundred years, and he should be left for ten thousand years!" ”
There is a neighborhood video on the Internet, randomly interviewing a man, if there is a war between China and Japan, will you go to war? The man replied without hesitation: Go, if you die, you can enter the family tree and be remembered forever.
It seems that the temptation to leave a name in history has been great since ancient times, and it is a lifelong pursuit that your name can be remembered by future generations.
In the world of poetry culture, some names are well-known to us, not because of any merits or officials, but because they wrote a classic poem that has been recited through the ages.
This was the case with the Tang Dynasty poet Jin Changxu.
Jin Changxu is unknown in history, there is no record of him in the history books, and even the year of birth and death is unknown, we only know that he is a native of Yuhang.
The reason why his name is known is only because he wrote a poem that has survived to this day, and it is not excluded that he wrote many poems but they were lost, in short, we can only see one poem from him now.
The only poem is "Spring Resentment", two crosses, but it was regarded as a classic by later generations, with a very high evaluation, and was also selected into the "Three Hundred Tang Poems".
"Spring Grudge"
Playing the yellow warbler, Mo Jiao cried on the branches.
When crying, the concubine dreamed, and did not get Liaoxi.
Poems such as "Spring Resentment", "Spring Palace Resentment" and "Girlfriend Resentment" mostly take abandoned women and longing women as the main objects of description, with the theme of sadness and nostalgia, and analyze the complex psychological states of women in specific social conditions and life encounters, or mourning, or regret, or loss, or melancholy.
There were many such themes in the Tang Dynasty, but they were all written by men imitating women's mentality, not directly by women.
This poem depicts the daily life of a woman who wakes up early, and the language is lively and vivid, quite like a folk song.
The author of this poem has a very ingenious feature in the writing style.
Although the four lines of the poem are connected as a whole, and only one thing is said throughout the poem, there is no one sentence that breaks it, but each sentence produces a question, and the next sentence answers the question of the previous sentence, and at the same time generates a new question.
Such sentences are interlocked, overlapping and overlapping, allowing readers to peel off the cocoon, and finally read it before suddenly realizing it, which is really full of twists and turns.
From the beginning of the sentence "Fight the Yellow Warbler", it gives people a suspense, about a beautiful woman who began to drive away the yellow warbler on the branches early in the morning.
What is the reason for her? We can't help but wonder.
In the next second sentence "Don't cry on the branches", the author told her the reason for driving away the yellow warbler, which turned out to be the yellow warbler chirping on the branch early in the morning.
The singing of birds and flowers in spring should be a beautiful thing, why don't women let it call? Here again questions arise.
The third sentence, "Crying and dreaming of concubines", is a further explanation of the second sentence. The reason why she didn't want Huang Ying to chirp was because Huang Ying's chirping disturbed her dreams.
The next fourth sentence "Don't get Liaoxi" is the most important part of the poem, and it is also an answer to the questions about the poem's dream of beating the yellow warbler, Mo Jiao's cry, and the dream of the concubine.
At this point, after such layers of narration, we finally realized that the heroine described in the original poem wanted to go to Liaoxi in a dream!
Liaoxi, in the Tang Dynasty, was the northeastern border of the Tang Dynasty, mainly inhabited by Khitan and other ethnic minorities. This kind of place is most prone to war, and the imperial court often conscripts troops to this area.
The war is cruel, and a few people have come back to fight in ancient times, thinking that it is a woman's sweetheart and one of the recruits, he has been gone for a long time, and he has not seen each other for a long time.
Thinking about the day and dreaming at night, the woman could only hope to meet in her dreams, but this was broken by the cry of the yellow warbler, and her heart must have been very angry.
Of course, because the author only wrote that "I don't get Liaoxi" and stopped abruptly, and did not explicitly say that I got together with my husband in my dream, this is just my thinking and imagination.
Being able to provoke the reader to think is one of the charms of a good poem.
At the same time, it is also the content of the times that this poem "Spring Resentment" wants to reflect - through a scene of a woman's daily life, it indicts the suffering of the people under the military service system at that time, and expresses the people's boredom with war and the author's anti-war thoughts.
There are only four sentences in the whole poem, but every sentence is doubtful, and every sentence is answered, like peeling off a cocoon, peeling off a layer, and there is a layer, and the technique of layer-by-layer flashbacks is used, which is really amazing, no wonder it can be sung for thousands of years.
Wang Shizhen, a genius of the Ming Dynasty, highly respected this small poem, and once said: "The law is tight, and a word cannot be added in the middle, and a single intention is not allowed"; Shen Deqian also said in "Tang Poetry Tailoring": "Those who are re-elected in one go will take this as a law."
It is not surprising that the poet Kim Chang-seo was able to write such a characteristic good poem, which has been passed down through the ages.
