In the dust of the world, I would rather love and hate!
People always have a profound understanding of life after experiencing the ups and downs of life's hardships and hatreds. As a poet of the late Tang Dynasty, after experiencing the sudden and dazed huaicai of wolf running and running, Li Shangyin realized that the world is infinite, time is infinite, and man is just a speck of dust in the world. At the node of time, as Zhuangzi said, it is only a moment when the white colt crosses the gap, and people's sorrows and joys and sorrows are really nothing for the world. Therefore, the pain and confusion before this are really meaningless. This is a profound understanding of life. Just as Su Dongpo, who has experienced the ups and downs of the eunuch sea for many years, has realized: the snail horn is false, the fly head is slightly profitable, and it is very busy!
Man Tingfang:
The snail horn is false, the fly head is slightly profitable, and it is very busy. Everything is predetermined, who is weak and who is strong. And while idle, he let me go, and let me go. In a hundred years, hun religion was drunk, thirty-six thousand.
consider. Can a little, sorrow and wind and rain, half of them hinder each other, and why bother, resist death and say short and long. Fortunately, the breeze haoyue, the moss exhibition, the cloud curtain high. Gangnam is good, a thousand bells of fine wine, a song full of fang.
It turns out that what we are passionate about, what we are chasing, is nothing more than a false name, a small profit on the head of the fly, and all the things that think we are grand are actually just a game in the shell of a snail. All our pursuits are nothing more than a dream, which has both a sense of disillusionment with the disappointment of reality and a great realization of changing course and re-understanding the world from now on. Li Shangyin, who had been frustrated in the official field for many years, after visiting a lone monk, also produced a great enlightenment of love and hatred in the dust of the world.
I thought that Li Shangyin of the late Tang Dynasty, Qin Guan and Jiang Kui of the Song Dynasty, should be all the way people, they have the unique sensitivity of the literati, they were originally full of hope for life, originally thought that a big talent could go straight to Qingyun, but life still knocked them down into the clouds and fell into the dust. This kind of sadness that they have never met has stained their poetry with a helpless and desolate beauty. Li Shangyin's "The sunset is infinitely good, but it is near dusk", Qin Guan's "Flying Red Ten Thousand Points are as Sad as the Sea", and Jiang Kui's "Several Peaks Are Clear and Bitter, Slightly Dusk Rain", are actually the portrayal of their lives. And Li Shangyin, compared with these two people, seems to have some spilled open-mindedness, he is a person who can live in a timely and peaceful manner in helplessness. Because, Li Shangyin studied Taoism in his early years, and later immersed himself in Buddhism, just like Su Shi, under the influence of the three ideas of Confucianism and Buddhism, he finally lived into a happy Su Dongpo.
Li Shangyin learned the Tao in the mountains in his early years, what is the Tao? The Tao is the root of all things, the pure and scattered light that does nothing and conforms to nature. Although Li Shangyin's Taoist and Taoist thought are very different, they are the same in the way they treat the world. After all, Li Shangyin failed to get rid of the red dust, and when he was learning the Tao, he fell in love with a beautiful little nun, and finally the East Window Incident occurred, and he was driven down the mountain and went to the prosperous world from then on.
In the late Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin floated all his life, like a duckweed, with the direction of the current, regardless of the west and east. In the whirlpool of the Niu-Li party struggle, Li Shangyin became a person who everyone could afford but no one dared to reuse, which made Li Shangyin feel extremely painful, so we can clearly feel the frustration and despair that came from his face in his poetry.
But the frustration of life is inevitable, no one can always be flat on both sides of the strait, and the wind is hanging in the sails. In this world, unsatisfactory is the essence, the spring wind is proud of the horseshoe disease after all, it is a small probability event, most people are sad and miserable. Knowing this, our souls will be more at peace. In the search for spiritual liberation, Chinese philosophy has the most say. Confucians say, "If you use it, you will do it, and if you give it up, you will hide it"; Taoists say that everything should be natural, and how fate makes you, how good you are, why should you compete with an unchangeable fate; Buddhists say that everything is like a dream, so why should you be obsessed with what is originally illusory? This is the power of religion, and they allow us to find a warm lamp in the dark of night. Religion allows us to find the root of our suffering in life, which is to care too much about ourselves. If according to the Buddhist classic "LengYan Sutra", "people in the world are straight to the dust ears, why should they be confined to love and hate and suffer this heart", life and people, and the world we live in, are nothing more than a drop in the ocean, so your suffering is meaningless except for you.
Li Shangyin must have read the Leng Yan Jing. Because when a person is lonely and lonely, he is bound to go to religion, and the one who has the most A Q spirit is Buddhism.
Therefore, in Li Shangyin's lingering, lonely and cold poems, there is a poem called "Beiqingluo", but he wrote a daguan and a thorough understanding of life. The poem is written about a monk who lived in a hut in the mountains. The poem does not write whether he has seen this monk or not, but it really writes his feelings about life - in the dust of the world, I would rather love and hate! The world is full of dust, and man is just a speck of dust. Why should I have a heart of love and hatred, and why should I be miserable? Therefore, we can say that this poem is Li Shangyin's poem of Phoenix Nirvana, who finally recognized the essence of life and the world!
Beiqingluo:
The remnants of the sun enter the west into the song, and the hut visits the lone monk. Where are the fallen leaves, several layers of cold cloud road.
Knock on the first night chime alone, and lean on a vine. In the dust of the world, I would rather love and hate.
Let's use the taste of obscure poetry to translate it, and maybe we can understand Li Shangyin better.
The setting sun goes west, unable to stay,
It eventually falls into the Mountains and returns to where it started.
The monks in the huts, living with the loneliness of the mountains,
The leaves are falling and have a religious meaning.
Cold clouds along the mountain road, the mountain road holding the cold cloud,
When night came, the monks knocked on the rock alone and chanted the sutra.
He was accompanied only by a green vine.
The world is nothing more than a speck of dust,
Love and hate drown in it,
No need to look any further.
Enlightened Li Shangyin, you don't have to be so sad.
