During the Chongyang Festival, the elderly like to travel together, climb high and look far, arrange flowers and poetry, which can not only exercise the body, but also enjoy the mood. However, the Chongyang Festival is not exclusive to the elderly, and many young people in ancient times often climbed the mountain to look out, in order to express their thoughts about the old garden and relatives and friends, and hoped that the future could be more beautiful.
Everyone in the world hopes to achieve fame, but many people, although they work very hard, have always backfired. People need the encouragement and support of others when they are at a low point, and there is a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty who knows this well, and he sent a poem to a friend in distress on his way to his post. The following is a sharing of Chen Shidao's masterpieces written during the Chongyang Festival, which is somber and euphemistic, but contains a warmth.
Nine days to send Qin Qian
Northern Song Dynasty: Chen Shidao
The wind returns to the rain and the sun shines, and the sand steps are eager for crows.
Nine days of Qingzun deceived white hair, ten years for the guest negative yellow flowers.
Ascending to the heights with a distant heart, he is willing to go to the old Fengchen.
Huaihai young corporal, may have no land to fall into the yarn.
Chen Shidao's talent was outstanding, and Zeng Gong and others praised him greatly, but this talent did not seek fame and would rather wander around than be bound by the rules and precepts. Later, at the recommendation of Su Shi, he served as a professor in Xuzhou, and ended his long-term detention career.
The poet was friends with Qin Guan's younger brother Qin Qian, and often exchanged poems and books. When the poet was preparing to return to his hometown, it happened to coincide with the Chongyang Festival, and he was about to return to his hometown, but this confidant was still living in the capital, and an inexplicable sorrow suddenly surged in his heart, so he sent poems to him.
The passenger ship kept rippling on the water, and the poet stayed on the boat for a day, feeling backache and mental fatigue, although he would soon be able to return to his long-lost hometown, but it was about to fall at night, and the boatman had to dock.
A gust of wind blew away the rain clouds, and the clear river reflected the brilliant sunset. The boatman tied the cable, and the poet abandoned the boat and landed, but found an ancient temple hidden in the trees, a group of wandering crows, looking for a place to live. The crows are anxious to find a place to live, and the poet's homesickness can be imagined.
Next, the author expressed his feelings for the festival, the Chongyang Festival should be happy, and the poet also found a small hotel to sit down. The surrounding guests are enjoying the flowers and drinking, and the poet also wants to raise a glass to drink, but he feels that he is overwhelmed by the wine. Ten years of wandering, sending people under the fence, not only sad whitened the green silk, but also felt that the years had been wasted, and it seemed that they could not stand these chrysanthemums that were blooming brightly.
A "bully" word, as if the spirit is deliberately showing its own strength and bullying the poet who is in a poor physical condition; a "negative" word, depicting the poet's state of physical emaciation and mental weakness. The pressures of life, the hardships of life, and the twists and turns of fate all rushed to the heart, and Caizi suddenly felt a little dizzy.
However, the poet did not flinch, and the reason why he accepted Mr. Dongpo's recommendation was not to covet fame and fortune, but to prove his ability and talent. The neck link shows the author's extraordinary mind and also expresses the concern for friends.
The author said affectionately, ascending high and looking far away, my heart seems to be with you. The authors can't forget each other's ambitions and ambitions when they were young, and more clearly remember that they were also dashing and personable. Although his health is not good now, he is more and more nostalgic for the good times of the past.
The author is a few years younger than Qin Guan, but he is more than ten years older than Qin Guan's brother, and the poet was only 34 years old when he was a professor, so he felt that the other party was flourishing and should be active. Chen Shidao comforted this "Huaihai Young Heavenly Corporal", during the Chongyang Festival, he should travel with companions and drink freely, and if he could write a poem like the wind blowing off the hat, he would definitely be better than his predecessors.
During the Chongyang Festival, Meng Jia of the Eastern Jin Dynasty once went on a mountain tour with the great general Huan Wen, and the wind on the top of the mountain was so strong that the wind inadvertently blew off Meng Jia's hat. Huan Wen laughed and asked sun sheng, an aide under the account, to write an article mocking him. Meng Jia was not willing to show weakness, and immediately returned a tribute, each of them is extraordinary, and the allusion of "taking off the hat" has been passed down for a long time.
Chen Shidao's Seven Laws style is somber and euphemistic. It is a folk custom to climb the mountain and enjoy the flowers on the Chongyang Festival, and the author certainly hopes to celebrate the festival with his former friends. But the world is unpredictable, the creation is confusing, and the poet has to break up with his friends and say goodbye. In addition to the sadness, the scenes seen during the journey also looked desolate, which aggravated the poet's sorrow.
However, after the poet wrote some feelings, he did not forget to encourage his friend, hoping that he would take advantage of his youth and be active and self-motivated to convey the poet's deep affection. The whole text is condensed and meaningful, but it is not depressed and decadent, but there is a warmth in the sorrow, and friends must be deeply encouraged after reading it!
