Du Xunhe, zi yanzhi, the number of Jiuhuashan people, a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty, about his lineage, in fact, is also full of legends, it is said to be Du Mu's illegitimate son, but there is no definite evidence, just a speculation of posterity, through all the information, there is no clear record, so such a statement is not enough to believe. Du Xunhe's poems are of their own, leaving behind many excellent classics, such as "Komatsu", "Title Brother and Nephew Shutang", "Gifting The Elder", "The Hostel In the Rain", etc., which are immortal famous articles.
Du Xunhe's poems actually have a profound philosophical layer, although they are also simple and easy to understand, but they are written very sincerely, like "When people don't know Lingyun wood, they wait for Lingyun to start high." "Whenever people don't talk about human affairs, they are people who have nothing to do in the world." "Not only wrote a new meaning, but also the philosophy is also very strong, with the most simple words, to express the view of life, this unique writing method, so that his poems have a layer of delicate emotions, as well as an attitude towards life, so it is amazing to read.
The philosophy in Tang poetry is actually not as strong as Song poetry, after all, Song poetry is mainly based on philosophy, even if it describes ordinary things, as well as ordinary scenes, it must highlight philosophy; but Tang poetry is different, more of a state of mind description, or lyrical; but Du Xunhe's poems are not only lyrical, but also very strong, in this poem "Crossing chaohu" can reflect his description of human nature, a few short sentences can be described as intriguing.
The world is greedy and greedy, and comes to the lake with sincerity.
Men board the boat and land, and the heart is not ordinary.
There is no clear record of when the poem was written, but literally, it should belong to the later works. Du Xunhe delicately described the ugliest side of human nature, especially in the first sentence of the opening chapter, "The world is greedy for profit and greedy for glory" There are many people in the world who covet pleasure, not only greedy but also greedy for honor, and want to take advantage of everything. This sentence is written very deeply, it can be said that it is directly striking, most people are the same, only a very small number of people can give up everything, obviously the poet has done it.
The second sentence is actually a kind of life perception, after all, I have seen more, for the poet, I also understand more truth, "to the lake to the beginning of sincerity", a person came to the lake, only suddenly have some understanding, in fact, everything in the world, is just a cloud of smoke, even if you get it, you may eventually lose, there is no need to worry about it, so the most important thing is to do a good job of sticking to the bottom line, should not be too greedy for pleasure, so that you will lose yourself.
"Men board boats and land, why not do the heart in general." The last two sentences are very cleverly written, and it is through a more gentle tone that they are described to further highlight the perception of life; whoever is concerned should have a stable mentality, only in this way can they live a real life and will not be changed by the external environment. As long as you put your mentality at ease, there is no obstacle that cannot be crossed, and you will not be too demanding of yourself. It can be seen that the poet's attitude towards life is very peaceful, there is no higher requirements, he only wants to live a plain life, he will not deliberately covet pleasure, and only in this way can he live a real life and live happier than others.
We can also learn a lot of things from such a small poem, and then understand more truths, life is repeated every day, some people lose themselves in life, blindly greedy and greedy, what good things want to take advantage of; in fact, the poet just holds different opinions, thinking that the most important thing for a person is mentality, as long as your mentality is peaceful, the attitude towards life is peaceful, then your life will naturally not be painful, life will be colorful. It's just a pity that many people don't understand this truth, think that having money is happy, in fact, it is obviously not so, the real happiness comes from the heart, as long as the mentality is peaceful and content, you are naturally happier than others.
