Admire and read Yan Shu's two late autumn poems, one is bright and long, and the other is sad and moving
"Hibiscus golden chrysanthemum dou sweet fragrance, the weather wants to be sunny." The autumn colors in the distant village are picturesque, and the mangrove trees are sparsely yellow. The water is light and the sky is long. The road is vast. Judge by the eyes. When the wild geese come, think infinitely. "Song Dynasty Yan Shu "Appeal to Heartfelt Feelings • Furong Jin Ju Dou Xin Xiang"
People who like Yanshu are fascinated by the elegance and gentleness of Yanshu. As far as poetry is concerned, if a poem does not have amazing good sentences, it will always be difficult to impress people. However, Yan Shuzi does not win with high beauty, nor does he shake people's hearts with sadness, but when you read his words, there is a sense of natural atmosphere, a sense of rhythm with self-control, and a high-end elegance and beauty.
His life is very legendary, he was called a prodigy at the age of fourteen, and was recommended to Song Zhenzong by the magistrate. He did not even need the normal imperial examinations, and directly gave tongjinshi a birth, stayed with the emperor, and began his long but noble career, tired officials to the prime minister.
What made the 47-year-old Song Zhenzong so fond of this fourteen-year-old or child's Yan Shu? Compared with the entire Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong was still a very good emperor, or he favored Yan Shu, who had an irrepressible upward fortitude temperament. When Kou Zhun of the same dynasty told the emperor that Yan Shu was a foreigner, maybe Yan Shu's accent had a strong Dialect of Jiangxi, but Song Zhenzong laughed, Isn't Zhang Jiuling a foreigner?
Taking Zhang Jiuling from Guangdong in the Tang Dynasty and finally becoming the famous face of Tang Xuanzong, to compare this teenager, if it is not from the later appendage, then Song Zhenzong really looks at people accurately, or he just wants to cultivate Yan Shu purposefully. Of course, Yan Shu's life's resume also proves that he has not lived up to the emperor's love.
Yan Shu's personality has a resolute and concise, even impatient side, handling government affairs, decisive and decisive, as an emperor, this is a rare talent, at the same time, Yan Shu is brilliant, familiar with the classics of the past, long-term walking between the court and the court, the style of writing is natural and elegant and mellow.
Although Yan Shu himself is very simple and not luxurious, a rich atmosphere that corresponds to the times and identity is not on the surface of the poem, but in his own temperament, and the rhythm and rhyme of the poem. Yan Shu Ci is called The Word of Fortune, which is already a very high praise.
This poem describing the advent of autumn in late autumn, like all the words of Manjushri, needs to be read with a soothing and calm rhythm.
"Hibiscus golden chrysanthemums are fragrant, and the weather wants to be sunny."
Wood hibiscus is the flower of late autumn, and the Song Dynasty began to be planted in large quantities in the autumn, and chrysanthemums were called the flowers of the sun.
Wood hibiscus is a tall shrub with bright and delicate flowers, and chrysanthemums are herbaceous and golden in color.
When two kinds of flowers bloom at the same time, the Chongyang Festival is coming.
This "desire", used very well, shows that it is as prosperous as the Chongyang Festival, but it is not yet a festival.
"The autumn colors in the distant village are picturesque, and the red trees are yellow."
This is the ascent before the Chongyang Festival, which mountain is it on, which pavilion or building?
From the front of the hibiscus chrysanthemum, the line of sight is pulled directly into the distance.
Like an unfolding picture scroll, in the distance, there is an autumn-colored mountain village, and there are yellow trees in the mountains of red leaves. Washed with a pen, but the colors are clear.
In fact, this red and yellow color was from his eyes, all the way to the distance. Because he has red hibiscus and yellow chrysanthemums around him, it is also such a red and yellow beauty, and in the distance is the yellow leaves of mangroves. The beauty of autumn and deep autumn, in his pen, is like a painter's painting, dense and appropriate, and beautiful and moving.
In fact, there is also an internal sense of rhythm, that is, this must be Yan Shu's middle-aged work, because the atmosphere is heavy and the history is clear.
"The water is light, the sky is long. The road is vast. ”
This is in the middle of the mountain or the top of the mountain, there is a visual breadth, it is the day to ascend, so the flowing water at the foot of the mountain, reflecting the sun, in a red, yellow and autumn color, but the color is light.
The sky was as blue as jade, and the flowing water and the road stretched into the distance, and in the extreme distance, it turned into a vast expanse.
"Judge by the eyes of the high. When the wild geese come, think infinitely. ”
Looking up at the sky, I saw that there were geese flying by, and people's eyes followed the array of geese, which would always arouse people's infinite thoughts.
So what exactly is Yan Shu thinking about? The geese come from the north, and they are home to the south. Yan Shu's hometown is in Jiangxi, is it Huaixiang? In addition, the Song Dynasty and the northern border have not been peaceful, as a deep planner of state affairs, he will naturally have worries.
So which kind of him is he?
Ascending before the Chongyang Festival, so calm and relaxed, but so seemingly sustenance, melting in a bright and magnificent autumn color. The words are concise, but there is a graceful elegance of the breath. "The autumn colors in the distant village are picturesque, and the red trees are yellow." This is everyone's handiwork.
"The sills are weeping, the curtain is lightly cold, and the swallows are flying away." Mingyue did not know how to leave hatred and bitterness, and the slanted light reached Xiao to wear Zhu Hu. Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I went up to the tall building alone, looking at the end of the world. Want to send a color note and a ruler, where do you know the mountains and rivers? "Yan Shu's "Butterfly Loves Flowers"
If Yan Shu's last poem was written about late autumn drunken beauty and autumn colors, then this one is late autumn nostalgia. And it is the tone of a woman.
This poem is very interesting, it seems to be written on the morning of Chongyang Festival, and the first day, she seems to have insomnia.
In the middle of the night or in the early morning of late autumn, there will be dew, and the chrysanthemums and orchids planted in the courtyard will be moved by the morning mist and frost dew in the morning.
The cold air brought by the autumn wind blows the curtain, and the swallows between the beams both fly south.
Last night's bright moon seemed to be unaware of people's thoughts, and it still ran so regularly, running from the east to the west, illuminating my residence over and over again.
Later, Su Shishui's famous sentence "Wear Zhu Ge, low Qihu, and shine sleeplessly" is from Yan Shu's words. Of course, Su Shi used it on the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
I watched the moonlight like water at night and listened to the wind outside the window. Thinking it was cold.
In the morning, I climbed the tall building alone and watched the way you left and the road that might return.
The chang'an ancient road is dusty, and only the west wind withers the bi trees.
I always have the desire to write to you, but this mountain is far away, where are you?
Although the Song Dynasty ended the division of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms after the Tang Dynasty, its territory was not as large as that of the Tang Dynasty, and there was a militarily strong Liao state in the north, and the borders have not been peaceful, and it has fought for forty years. Moreover, in the Yanshu era, there was also Li Yuanhao of western Xia who was called emperor and repeatedly fought with the Song army.
Then it is obvious that the woman's husband is at the northern border, and there has been no letter for a long time, and her life and death are uncertain.
The Song Dynasty paid more attention to folk festivals than the Tang Dynasty, whether it was the Mid-Autumn Festival or Chongyang, there were songs and dances everywhere. But only this woman whose husband is at the border has never been able to integrate into the festive atmosphere.
Where is her husband? Why there are no letters and messages for a long time. Such a concern is really heartbreaking, and people's golden autumn festivals are the sad days when she worries about her husband's life and death.
Why did Yan Shu write such poems? Because he sympathizes.
At the age of 47, Yan Shu responded to the harassment of Li Yuanhao in Western Xia, strengthened his armaments, raised military salaries, and finally put down the war between Western Xia and the Song Dynasty.
Yan Shu's two late autumn words, one bright and atmospheric, one sad and moving, but it is obvious that these two late autumn words have a chewy taste. The first song contains the worries of state affairs in the distance, and the other is sad on the surface, but sad in the bones.
It is precisely in this way that can bring people a continuous reading experience, and the words of Yan Shu have been passed down to this day.
In a word, looking at the end of the world, the surface is beautiful, but in the bones, it is deep and sad.
