"If you are familiar with the three hundred poems of Tang Dynasty, you will not be able to chant poems and will also chant", this is a proverb said by the editor of "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty". Leaving aside the operability of this proverb, for the "bard" in it is not a recitation of poetry, but a poem. However, for the vast majority of people, "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty" will accompany him from young age to old age, and even throughout his life.
The "Golden Silk Dress" shared with you in this article is a poem worth reading in "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty". I believe that for this poem, everyone can hear it well, and almost everyone can memorize it. It is worth noting that "The Golden Robe" was still the last poem, which was compiled into the "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty" by the retired soldiers of The Tang Dynasty. It is not known why the Tang Tang retired from doing so, but perhaps because it was written by anonymous people.
According to Du Mu's "Du Qiu Niang's Poems" and self-annotations, Yuan He Shi Zhenhai Jiedu made Li Kun love this poem, and often ordered his concubine Du Qiu Niang to sing it at the banquet. But the author of the poem is no longer known, not that Du Qiuniang often sings, but that she composes it. Therefore, the author of "The Golden Robe" is actually anonymous. Of course, it can be selected into the "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty" and become a masterpiece throughout the ages, mainly because of the philosophical meaning it contains. That is, repeated chants emphasize that people should cherish time and should not miss the good youth.
The Golden Robe
Advise the king not to spare the golden robe, and advise the king to spare the youth.
The flowers can be folded straight and folded, and there is no need to fold the branches without flowers.
First of all, the first two sentences of the poem, "Advise the king not to cherish the golden robe, and advise the king to cherish the youth", that is, I advise you not to care about glory and wealth, and I advise you to cherish the good youth. The golden robe, which originally means a dress embellished with gold thread, is a metaphor for glory and wealth here. Obviously, these two verses are well understood, and they are exhorting people not to pay too much attention to glory and wealth, and there is something more precious than it, that is, good youth, which is the so-called time.
As the saying goes: "An inch of time is an inch of gold, and an inch of gold is difficult to buy an inch of time"; Li Bai also said in the poem "Will Enter the Wine": "A thousand gold is scattered and returned". In fact, it is all to show that glory and wealth can be lost, but the good youth is only once for anyone, and the time that has passed is never returned. Therefore, in these two poems, two "persuasions" will be used, one negating, one affirming, and the first repeated chant emphasizes that people should cherish time and not miss the good youth.
Then, the last two sentences of the poem, "The flowers bloom and fold straight, and do not wait for the flowers to fold the branches", constitute the second repeated chant emphasis. It means that when you see that the flowers are suitable for folding, you must seize the time to fold, and do not wait until the spring flowers fall, you can only fold the branches. Obviously, the meaning of these two verses is that if you miss the great youth, you will have endless regret later. In fact, it is the so-called "young and strong do not work hard, the old man is sad"
In addition, if you look at the two poems "Flowers can be folded straight and folded, do not wait for flowers to be empty and fold branches", it also contains richer connotations. For example, it can be seen as an exhortation to people to pick the fruits of love in time, and it can also be seen as an inspiration to people to establish merit in time for youth. But no matter what, you who should cherish it do not cherish it, which will lead to the regret of the final "empty folding branch". Therefore, these two poems are undoubtedly more intriguing and artistically appealing.
In summary, the poem "The Golden Robe" is a small poem full of philosophical rationality and profound meaning. Although it is only 4 short sentences, it tells people not to pay attention to glory and wealth, but to cherish the connotation of youth, which is undoubtedly thought-provoking and has the effect of enlightening life. In general, The Unknown Clan wrote a poem, just 4 sentences, it became a masterpiece of thousands of years, and was selected into the "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty".
