Meng Jiao's "Wandering Son" is a praise for his mother, and from this poem, we can also see that maternal love is very great, and many people say that with maternal love, they have roots. If, in the period of growth, there is no irrigation of maternal love, then you are like a rootless tree, just a surface.
Meng Jiao also knows this well, so he also made this poem to express his gratitude to his mother. Because in this world, only his mother can give him more warmth and love, so that he can survive in the miserable experience and usher in one tomorrow after another.
Mengjiao is a native of Wukang, Huzhou, and in our words today, he is a native of Deqing County, Zhejiang. His ancestral home is In Dezhou, Shandong, but his life is very colorful, because he often lived in many places, and he often lived in Ruzhou, Henan during his lifetime. Presumably, in his life experience, these places and people and things he has encountered can leave a deep impression on him, and can also add a different flavor to his life story.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > and mother depend on each other</h1>
Mengjiao's father was a relatively small county official, because he did not have a very big achievement in politics, so his family's life was not very rich, and many people were reluctant to associate with their family, after all, in the feudal society of ancient times, many people also liked to form gangs and deal with people of similar status.
Soon after, his father died of illness, leaving him and his mother alone, orphaned and widowed, to fend off the ups and downs of life. Mengjiao's mother is a person who loves her son very much, she has been teaching her son wholeheartedly since she was a child, that is, hoping that he can grow up and become a talent, but after all, the family conditions are very limited, so whether he can live his life and get ahead depends on Mengjiao's own creation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > career is not going well</h1>
Despite this, Meng Jiao did not give up on himself because of his family conditions, he was a very hard worker, but sometimes the efforts he put in did not get a corresponding reward. He had failed to enter the army twice, but he had not given up, and although he had failed, he had been persevering. So at the age of 46, he passed the entrance examination and became a small county lieutenant.
But we all know that most of the people like Li Bai, Du Fu, and Tao Yuanming who have left a lot of classic poems in history are politically unambitious, because they have a heart of ambition and enthusiasm, but they have no chance to show it. MengJiao is the same, being such a small county lieutenant does not allow his political ambitions to be stretched, and even he has offended many people because he has written many times. Not only that, but he often did what he wanted to do, such as poetry and composition, etc., so of course, he was delayed in handling official duties, so in the end he was also abolished from his official position.
However, for Meng Jiao, being able to stay away from the flattering officialdom is not a bad thing, because in that situation, it can only make him more worried. So he himself lived a leisurely life, because without the control of the people, he could write poetry to the fullest.
But has life in Mengjiao become more colorful because of this? Not really. Because he did not become an official, he had no financial resources, which led to his life becoming very poor, and sometimes even ate a meal without eating, but for a poet, such an experience is more conducive to his creation of shocking works. Therefore, later there were also famous poems such as "Learning at night, groaning and worrying, how not to idle, heart and body". The words are harsh, making people feel the depression and unfairness in his heart.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the loss of a beloved son</h1>
However, MengJiao's life is not only because of political frustration and unhappiness that it is covered with dark pressure. Because his family life is also very sad and deplorable. Mengjiao married a wife in the years of his struggle, although the name of Mengjiao's wife is not recorded in history, but it can be found that his wife gave birth to several sons for him.
In the eyes of ordinary people, such a life is very complete and happy. Even if the living conditions at home are not particularly good, it is still good to have a pillow person to talk about the bitterness in his heart, and there are several children around him who bring joy and laughter to themselves, which is a very happy thing to think.
But there is a saying that the more people care, the more painful they will be when they lose. In the third year of Yuan He, that is, when Meng Jiao was 58 years old, one of his youngest sons unfortunately died. What a blow to him! After all, it is not easy to have a child at the age of 58, it can be said that he is old, and he must have been very surprised and excited to know that he had this child. But fate often tricks people invisibly, and Meng Jiao is this person who is like a top and ruthlessly whipped by fate.
That's not all, in the past five years, he has lost three children. From MengJiao's gratitude to his mother, we can see that he is a very delicate person. So what kind of state of mind was he in when he lost his child? And the most painful thing in the world is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, for a person like MengJiao, who is more than half a hundred years old, he actually wants to send away his three dear children! What a blow!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > devote myself to creation</h1>
Despite this, Meng Jiao did not become indignant because of the injustice of fate, and he spent more time writing and writing poetry. Of course, this is not to seek power and profit, but to find an outlet for excretion and the frustrations encountered in his heart, and vent them out, otherwise for someone of his age, it is better to live than to die.
But his life is not all gray, and he has many like-minded friends, such as Han Yu. Han Yu is a recognized leader of the literary world, and he is also a very authoritative and respectable person in the minds of many poets. But such a respected literary leader actually formed a deep friendship with Mengjiao, whose family was not well off and was poor. For Meng Jiao, this is also the only comfort in his unfortunate life!
Although MengJiao's life was very bumpy and unfortunate, he lost his father at an early age and lived with his mother; when he grew up, he was not politically smooth, his ambitions could not be carried out, he had a passion but could not make a contribution; even in family life, he was also unfortunate, he experienced the tragedy of white-haired people sending black-haired people.
But although he did not give up his ideals in life, but worked hard for his goals, he is a benchmark and example worth learning from all of us! I hope that each of us can be like Mengjiao, constantly fighting in the bumpy and rough life, defending our ideals and beliefs.
