All along, our country has been a big cultural country, and those cultures that have been passed down through the ages have surprised people all over the world, and Tang poetry is definitely one of them. Speaking of Tang poetry, everyone is very familiar with it, especially those classic masterpieces, which are not only lyrical, but also full of many philosophies of life, especially some of the ancient famous sentences, which have become the mottos of many people. Not only that, Tang poetry has also made many great contributions to the Chinese language, and many words are derived from Tang poetry, which makes people feel admired.
Poet Jia Dao, as a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, left us many classic works, and today I want to share with you his "Swordsman". The poem is very interesting, especially the first sentence of the poem, which is very impressive, and is often used to praise others today. In fact, reading more poems is a lot of benefits for our lives, and it feels like the whole person's realm is sublimated by poetry.
The Swordsman
Ten years of grinding a sword, the frost blade has not been tried.
Who has anything wrong with the king today?
Jia Dao has always been a topic of discussion, when he was a teenager, Jia Dao's family was very poor, so he was sent to the temple by his parents to become a small monk, of course, this is helpless, after all, in ancient times, it was difficult for poor people to raise a child. But it was precisely because of this experience that Jia Dao had the opportunity to learn literacy with a literate master in the temple, and even more accidentally met Han Yu. At this time, Han Yu was already famous, but Jia Dao could only be counted as an ordinary person who loved literature, and one day he was walking on the side of the road, thinking about his own poetry, and he crashed into Han Yu's car without paying attention. Han Yue heard him say that he discussed with him when he was writing poets, and Han Yue admired his time, and the two became friends and persuaded Jia Dao to return to the vulgar.
Later, Jia Dao was still vulgar and took the imperial examination, but he did not pass the examination, so he gave up, but began to concentrate on writing poetry, and finally achieved a generation of literary heroes. And his "Swordsman" expresses a noble character and a beautiful yearning in his heart, and this is also a very representative poem of his, although the poem is very short, but it is very imposing.
The first sentence of this poem must be very familiar to everyone, many friends have used it as their motto, even if they have not heard of this poem, but have heard of such a sentence: a person took 10 years to sharpen a sharp sword. What the poet wants to praise is the spirit of tireless and resolute not giving up, and this sentence also tells us that if we want to succeed, then we must have enough patience and have this spiritual quality of grinding a sword for ten years.
It's just that I haven't tried this sword until today, so I'm going to show this sword today, and whoever has something unfair can tell me that I'm going to use this sword in my hand to fight for you. In these two verses, the poet once again expresses his noble qualities, and also echoes the first two sentences, making the whole poem more artistic.
Jia Dao's poems always have such a unique charm, which is beautiful and at the same time magnificent, so that many poets feel inferior. And we readers can also learn a lot of life truths from this short poem, if we can really grind a sword in ten years, then how can we not succeed?
