Life should be a journey of beauty.
Calm down and read the poem.
【Origin】
One afternoon, Zhu Xi, a famous theologian, thinker, and educator of the Southern Song Dynasty, sat in his study.
It was the early spring season, and the flowers outside the window were full of flowers, which slowly attracted Zhu Xi's eyes from the book.
Staring at the hundreds of flowers in the courtyard, Zhu Xi's mind gradually drifted to the far north with the spring breeze.
Drift to the land north of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains, which was once the land of the Great Song Dynasty, but as a Song person, he was not qualified to stay.
After all, it was the Southern Song Dynasty, and Fenjing had already fallen for many years, and the "Lin'an" that had only been for "temporary stability" was occupied by a group of nobles who were secretly living, and they almost changed their name to "Yong'an".
Thinking of this, Zhu Xi was shocked in his heart, but then he thought of something more important.
I think of the most holy teacher of Confucianism, Confucius.
Confucius was active on the land of Qilu, a place that Zhu Xi had never been to in his life.
But this did not prevent him from imagining himself listening to Confucius's lectures by the river, just as the saints listened to Hongjun's sermons as pious and intoxicated.
Just like this, thinking of the emotional place, Zhu Xi was very touched and wrote this "Spring Day" that has been passed down through the ages.
【Psalms】
Spring Zhu Xisheng day to find the fang Surabaya waterfront, boundless scenery for a while. Waiting for idleness to recognize the east wind, thousands of purples and thousands of reds are always spring.
【Recitation】
Looking at the title and theme of this poem alone, many people will preconceived that it is a spring poem.
Even the scholar Wang Xiang, who commented on the Qianjia poems, interpreted it as a simple meaning of a poem on the journey of youth; some people believed that the word "shengri" in the content implied the good mood of the author Zhu Xi.
This view is because the details of poetry appreciation are not in place.
Mr. Yuan Xingpei once introduced us to the essentials of appreciating poetry. The most basic is to understand the background of the writing, followed by understanding the words, allusions, and artistic techniques, secondly looking at the structure of the entire text, and finally trying to understand the author's emotions and artistic conceptions in combination with personal experience.
Let's first talk about the background of the poem.
First of all, Surabaya is the name of an ancient river in Shandong Province.
Second, Zhu Xi had never been to Shandong Province. Therefore, the poem "Sheng Ri Xiang Fang Surabaya Waterfront" does not hold up in reality, and can only be Zhu Xi's imagination sitting in the study.
So why did Zhu Xi write this? Let's look at the specific content of the poem.
Take advantage of the good spring light to go to the shores of Surabaya. Because of the arrival of spring, the earth has also swept away the silence of winter, and the endless flowers and trees have been blown by the spring wind, and they are also full of vitality and renewal.
On both sides of the riverbank, the spring light is full of eyes, and it is easy to see the traces left by the spring wind. This sentence echoes the second sentence and indicates the glory of spring.
The fourth sentence goes a step further, explaining how earth-shaking changes the spring wind has brought to the earth: "Thousands of purples and thousands of reds are always spring", and spring is everywhere.
Judging from the content alone, it is indeed like a you chun poem.
But the previous article has denied this possibility, let's take a look at the subtle meaning of these spring scenes written by the poet.
"The Shore of Surabaya", that is where Confucius once taught.
Therefore, "seeking the fang" is to pursue the way of the saints; "boundless light" is the chaos of the Tao; "temporary new" is to learn and always new.
The education of the elders is good, very gentle to us, and it is often described as "spring breeze". The "east wind" here has a similar meaning. The last sentence, "Ten thousand purples and thousands of reds is always spring", is saying that the Way of Confucius embraces all things, and everything is a reflection of the Tao.
The original meaning of Zhu Xi's poem is to compare Confucius's way of being a saint to a spring breeze, alleging in the image.
