In ancient times, some people studied hard since childhood, and they were fortunate to stand out among tens of millions of people, but after joining the office, they could not achieve a vigorous career, but they were not used, and they often fell into the dilemma of poverty and lack of standing in life.
Such an embarrassing state makes the talented people unwilling, but they are helpless, and they are even more helpless in their hearts. If you leave the official career, years of hard work will be in vain; The status quo has been maintained, and there is no turnaround in sight.
Such contradictory moods make it difficult for them to sleep and eat, and people look haggard when they reach middle age. The following shares Wang Jian's poverty and illness, and recited two five laws, the words are bitter, showing a bitter and lonely life picture.
Poor
Zhongtang • Wang Jian
The poor family in the eyes is always suspicious for a long time.
The beetle is born and the medicine is changed, and the words are changed for bookmarks.
Avoid moisture and pile yellow leaves, and shade the wind under the black curtain.
Recently, he has not been in good health, and he has been occupying six people.
Wang Jian's family was poor since he was a child, although he studied hard and finally obtained the Jinshi in middle age, but his career has not been smooth, and he often sinks into subordinates, and is called at by others, and he cannot realize his childhood dream at all.
After the poet passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, he gradually looked down on the glory and wealth, and from time to time he interacted with monks, and even lived in the monastery for a long time. In his later years, the poet mostly described the suffering of the world, lamenting old age, sickness, and haggard hardships, and this poem truly reflects the poet's poor life.
The gist of the poem is: life is poor, and there is no solution at the moment, this dilemma has lasted for a long time, but the poet always disagrees. Riddled with diseases, he has always needed to take medicine to recuperate, and in the small box containing the medicine, moths have grown at some point, so he will vacate the medicine again; There is no spare money to buy new books, and the old labels attached to the scrolls have become dull and illegible.
The room was so damp that the poet had to pick up some dry leaves and lay them on the floor and under the quilt; There was a leak in the room, and the poet had no condition to repair it, so he could only pull down the black curtain to block the wind. The poet has been very unwell lately, but he can only find some comfort for himself through divination.
The opening is blunt, telling the poet's poverty situation, although there is nothing to be done, but the author also says that "there is always no suspicion for a long time", which seems to be poor and happy, but in fact it is just pretending to be open. Silverfish began to grow in the medicine jar, but the pills were reluctant to throw away; The bookmark is also gray and illegible, and it has always been with him, showing his overstretched predicament.
The neck couplets are vividly described, "piling up yellow leaves and black curtains", giving people an extremely depressing feeling. The choice of yellow and black colors depicts a dull and unbearable feeling. The ending is even more nostalgic, the physical discomfort should have been treated in time, but the poet only comforted himself through divination, which was really sad and sad.
Forest dwelling
The barren forest is open on all sides, and the gate is in the middle of the field.
The stubborn servant is like a guest, and the poor dwelling is not victorious.
The old cotton clothes are not warm, and the new grass hut is windy.
Only go to the south of the mountain, and sell medicine in idleness.
In his later years, after Wang Jian dismissed Sima in Shaanzhou, he lived in the wasteland on the outskirts of Chang'an. This poem is simple and unpretentious, showing the poverty of the poet's life in the forest, and there is a sense of sadness and resentment between the lines.
The gist of the poem is that the poet built a new house in the wilderness of the countryside, where the terrain is flat, well-connected, sparsely populated, and the air is fresh. The foolish servant accompanies the poet to stay here for a long time, but he is always as restrained as a guest; Poor and adrift, the poet lamented that his bleak life experience could not even be better than a fluttering tent.
The cotton clothes are too old, and they don't feel warm at all in the cold weather. The hut had just been paved with new grass, and it was very untidy, and the house seemed to be leaking everywhere. However, the fun thing is that it is very close to the side of the mountain, and when you have nothing to do, you can have a cordial conversation with the old man who sells medicine.
The author begins by introducing the location of the new home and the surrounding environment. Noda refers to uncultivated wasteland, and refers to a sparsely populated place. Although it is airy and quiet, there must be many inconveniences in life.
A stubborn servant is stupid and not very caring, so even if the poet has been with him for a long time, he still feels that the other party is like a guest at home, which also expresses the poet's loneliness from the side. Piao Peng is very free and unrestrained, and the poet can only live in a poor place, and he has to be bound by mundane affairs, so he will feel that he is "not victorious".
The neck coupling is unbearable to read, there is no warm cotton clothes in winter, and the newly laid thatch cannot suppress the wind. As an official appointed by the imperial court, his situation is not as good as that of ordinary people, he is really useless and a scholar!
At the end, there is a little joy, the poet finds that the new house is very close to the mountainside, and he can often "sell medicine in idleness", which shows that the poet is very willing to be with the old fisherman, and is full of yearning for secluded life.
