【Introduction to ramblings】
Yesterday I admired a Mid-Autumn Festival poem written by a courtier, which was a work by Bai Juyi who was relegated to the Sima period of Jiangzhou, and at that time, his state of mind was particularly miserable, and looking at the full moon in the sky was not good, but it was a comparison between the present and the past, remembering the several Mid-Autumn Festivals that he had been proud of in Chang'an before, and his heart was even more unpleasant.
Originally, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a very happy festival in the minds of Chinese, with family reunions, moon viewing and mooncakes, and their happiness and harmony. But from Bai Juyi's poems, we can also understand that whether the festival is happy or not, put on everyone, the specific situation is different, it is based on their own situation.
Wang Wei is wandering outside, so "every festive season, think of his relatives"; Cui Hao is wandering outside, so "the Yanbo River makes people sad", Bai Juyi's journey is bumpy, he is in a desolate place, and it is naturally reasonable to write a pessimistic poem during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This is what a festival means to a person, and it does not require you to have a completely consistent emotional experience with other families and other people in this moment. The festival itself gives you a heavy or joyful tone, and it is up to you to decide exactly how you want to accept the holiday and how you want to live it.
In modern times, festivals are more like an emotional catalyst, allowing you to return to yourself in the hustle and bustle of the world, look back at yourself, recognize yourself, and vent the truest emotions in your heart.
【Immersive Poetry】
Today we come to enjoy a lighthearted And cheerful Mid-Autumn Festival poem. The poet is also a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, Pi Rixiu, who wrote this poem at a relatively special time, a year after he entered high school.
Moreover, this year's time is a year of rapid progress in career for Pi Rixiu, the Mid-Autumn Festival, just in time to coincide with Pi Rixiu's spirit and grand tour of the East.
When you meet the Mid-Autumn Festival in the season of pride, you naturally want to celebrate it more, just like you have worked hard outside for a year, made some proud achievements, and you want to go home for the New Year.
It was in this context that Pi Rixiu used the moonlight of that night and an interesting thing that happened to write this poem "Guizi on the Night of August 15th of Tianzhu Temple".
【Classic original text】
Night of August 15th, Tenshoji Temple
Tang Dynasty: Pi RiXiu
Jade Shanshan next moon wheel, in front of the temple to find Lu Huaxin.
So far, it will not be a matter of heaven, it should be Chang'e throwing with people.
【Article Analysis】
The title has already told us a lot of information. The poet's Mid-Autumn Festival is in the Tianzhu Temple, and the main content of this poem revolves around a laurel picked up by the poet at night.
First look at the first sentence, "Jade Shanshan next moon wheel", a beautiful sentence, said that this guizi jade bone ice muscle, shanshan bright, originally from the moon palace next to the laurel tree fell from the earthly immortal fruit.
Such a beautiful laurel seed happened to be picked up by the poet passing in front of the temple, and when he looked at it carefully, it was indeed crystal and round. There is also a osmanthus flower next to it, descending with the guizi, and the small pale yellow petals are moist and graceful.
When Pi Rixiu wrote this sentence, there should be something in his heart, we generally evaluate the annual examination as "Toad Palace Folding Gui", and the poet picked up the osmanthus and guizi on the laurel tree here, and unconsciously remembered his smooth and prosperous career in recent years, so he became more and more spirited, and the poems written were particularly carefree and romantic.
In the second sentence, the poet thinks of the origin of this laurel seed, first of all, it must be from the Moon Palace, but why it appears here, why it was picked up by me by chance, I don't know. So far, we still don't know the customs and rules in the Heavenly Palace.
But later, the poet gave his own inference, which should have been thrown to me by Chang'e Fairy.
This sentence is the unreserved tang dynasty temperament, from a small guizi to Chang'e's favor for herself, put in the present, anyone who looks crazy, or eye-catching, but in the Sheng Tang, placed in the Tang Dynasty, people have such imagination, such calm and self-confidence.
Because their self-confidence is really from the heart, their imagination is rich, because the poets and literati of the Tang Dynasty have no worries at all, the country is too peaceful, all the countries are coming to the dynasty, their status is very high, they eat and drink without worry, and it is this environment that cultivates the brilliant and dazzling poetry of the Tang Dynasty.
Coupled with the fact that Pi Rixiu himself is in the stage of spirit, the temperament expressed in the poem is even more romantic, making people reverie and endlessly reminiscent.
The content of the poem, in fact, is written in a small matter, most of which is the author's own associations, which is not realistic, but the wonderful points contained in Tang poetry are also in the intersection of the virtual and the real, the heavens and the earth.
