Tang Dynasty "scumbag" Yuan Shu poem: Once the sea was shipwrecked as water, except for Wushan is not a cloud, what does it mean?

author:There are paintings and art

From childhood to adulthood, we have read a lot of Tang poems and Song poems, and I believe that in everyone's mind, there will be several poems that they remember in their hearts, like "Once the sea was shipwrecked as water." Except that Wushan is not a cloud", it is such an ancient saying.

This poem comes from Yuan Shu's "Five Pieces of Departure", which is written by Yuan Shu after losing his wife "Wei Cong", who uses "Canghai" and "Wushan" to express his feelings for his late wife.

Yuan Shu

He said: "After seeing the canghai and the clouds and rains of Wushan, you will be dismissive of the mountains and rivers and clouds in other places, and after having a wife like Wei Cong, you will no longer have feelings for other women, that is to say, in this world, there is no longer any woman who can impress Yuan Shu."

In Yuan Shu's eyes, Wei Cong was as fascinating as the Canghai and Wushan Mountains, making people unable to extricate themselves, so in his heart, Wei Cong was irreplaceable and the only one.

The last two sentences of the poem are more straightforward, "Take the second flower bush lazy review, half edge cultivation and half edge jun", after Wei Cong's death, Yuan Shu was deeply immersed in sorrow and pain, so he sought comfort and liberation in the Buddhist path.

So Yuan Shu said in the poem, even in the midst of a thousand flowers, I didn't bother to look back, half because of monastic reasons, and the other half because I once had you. Then this poem gives people the feeling that Yuan Shu is a person who is loyal to his feelings.

However, does Yuan Shu really have such an obsession with Wei Cong? Wei Cong, born into a famous nobleman, her father was in a high position, was a courtier, and At that time, Yuan Shu was just a failed scholar.

However, Wei Cong's father, who admired his talent very much, believed that he would definitely make a difference in the future, and also married his young daughter (that is, Wei Cong) to Yuan Shu.

For Yuan Shu, who fell off the list, this is of course a good thing that cannot be sought, and having such a powerful father-in-law is equivalent to being able to struggle for twenty years less, such a good thing is more difficult than winning the lottery.

In this marriage, Yuan Shu had some taste of clinging to the powerful at the beginning, but Wei Cong was sincerely in love with Yuan Shu, so she and Yuan Shu were together, although the life was relatively poor, but she married the chicken and followed the chicken to keep the poor and dutiful to teach her husband and son.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shu is a scumbag, picking flowers and weeds everywhere, so after seven years of marriage, Wei Cong was depressed under the torment of various emotional entanglements.

When Wei Cong was alive, Yuan Shu did not cherish her well, and after losing her, Yuan Shu remembered her goodness, so he wrote such a touching and profound poem.

The funny thing is that shortly after writing this poem, Yuan Shu was busy giving himself a concubine, so although Yuan Shu's literary achievements were very high, many people in history had a bad evaluation of him personally. I don't know what kind of evaluation you have of Yuan Shu?
