The pre-Qin era was an era in which the Chinese nation was constantly condensing toward reunification, and people hoped for a peaceful and prosperous life. In such an era, people naturally pinned their hopes on the sages and nobles. Praising them is actually an expression of a yearning for life. For example, "Poetry Classic, Wei Feng, Qi'ao":
"Zhan Pi Qi'ao, green bamboo monkey." There are bandits, such as cutting like a knife, such as grinding, such as a sharpening, a serpent, a hectic. There are bandits, and they must not be deceived.
Zhan Pi Qi'ao, green bamboo green. There are bandits, full of ears, will be like stars. It's awkward. There are bandits, and there are no thieves.
Zhan Pi Qi'ao, green bamboo like a basket. There are bandits, such as gold such as tin, such as Gui Rubi. Wide and heavy. Good at teasing, not for abuse. ”
The meaning of this poem is:
"Look at the bending shore of the Qishui River, the green bamboo forest pieces even." Mr. Gao Is a Gentleman, who is more exquisite in learning and more virtuous in moral character. He has a solemn and broad mind, and his position is prominent and majestic. Mr. Elegant is a true gentleman, and it is difficult to forget the heart at first sight.
Look at the bending shore of the qi water, and the green bamboo is even a piece. Mr. Elegant is a true gentleman, beautiful jade hanging from the ear, and the gemstone-encrusted hat is like a star. His demeanor is solemn and broad-minded, and his position is prominent and more majestic. Mr. Elegant is a true gentleman, and it is difficult to forget the heart at first sight.
Look at the bending shore of the qi water, and the green bamboo is verdant. Mr. Elegant is a true gentleman, bronze like a fine, jade ceremonial like a solemn. Magnanimous and really open-minded, leaning on the car ear to gallop forward, talking humorously is really funny, making a joke people do not complain. ”
This is a poem praising the image of a man, the whole poem adopts the technique of borrowing things to rise, and each chapter starts with "green bamboo", borrowing the tall, verdant and dense green bamboo to praise the gentleman's high wind and bright festival.
The gentleman praised in this poem is the Duke of Weiwu. According to the Preface to Mao's Poems, "Qi'ao, the Virtue of the Duke of Meiwu." There are articles, and you can listen to its rules, and defend yourself with courtesy, so you can enter the zhou, and the beauty is poetry. "This Duke Wu, wu he of the Wei dynasty, was born in the Western Zhou Dynasty and served as a secretary of the Zhou Ping King (770 BC – 720 BC).
Wei Wugong in "Qi'ao" is a good boy of the Fenghua Dynasty. "If it is like a practice, such as a grind" refers to its stable temperament, while "such as gold like tin, like a gui like a wall" refers to a mediocre demeanor. The ancients ruled the bones "cut", the ivory "gong", the jade "qiu", the stone "grinding", a man's temperament was as hard as bone, as noble as ivory, as smooth as jade, and as unswerving as stone. Between the hands and feet, the abundance of the gods is handsome, like the golden tin Guiyu white bi, how should it be scorching and shining? Such a man, even if he sees from a distance, has not handed over a word and a half, he will also shine so brightly that the woman's heart and woman's intentions are open.
What's more, this man's temperament is as far-reaching as Qinse's voice: "Sergeant". Wei Yi Di Di, admired: "scared" and "晅兮". Alas, such a boy will be unforgettable and indelible at first sight, and it is no wonder that the woman named Qing'er thousands of years later wandered in this ancient "Qi'ao" countless times.
People's praise for Wei Wugong also lies in his great talent and noble character. According to historical records, Duke Wu of Wei lived for ninety-five years and served as the king of wei for fifty-five years. The history books say that after he came to power, he was able to revise the "Kang Jie", "Jiu Jie", and "Zi Cai" and use them to govern the feudal state. Therefore, under his administration, Weiguo prospered, society was stable, people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and Weiguo naturally became strong. Therefore, when King Zhou You was killed by Inuyasha, Wei Guoneng did not hesitate to immediately send troops to help Zhou Tianzi quell the rebellion. Therefore, since then, he has been appointed as the Duke of Wu by King Ping of Zhou, in recognition of his outstanding talent and selflessness. Such an excellent and beautiful man, people will naturally remember him, he is not willing to defend people after his death, so they wrote "Qi Ao" to praise him.
