The biggest wish of readers is to hope that one day they can realize their ideals in life, and if they want to achieve their established goals, that is, to take the imperial examination. Since the Sui Dynasty Emperor issued an edict, the world's Han shi can participate in the imperial examination, a lot of reading for a while has a place to play, as long as there is real talent and practical learning, will be able to find their own stage, and finally achieve a career, realize the value of life.
The establishment of the imperial examination system is nothing more than a recruitment of talents from all over the world, and some readers have begun to work hard, through ten years of hard study, to stand out in the examination of the imperial examination, and have since embarked on the peak of life. Of course, the imperial examination is also very strict, in addition to the need for real talent and practical learning, but also need a little luck, as well as all aspects of the dots, so those students who really come from peasant families, want to achieve that grand goal, it should be said that it is still more difficult.
Late Tang Dynasty poet Luo Yin is one of the typical examples, when he was a teenager, he worked hard, read and studied behind closed doors every day, naturally hoping to become famous through the imperial examination and live the life he wanted from then on, but after ten years of hard reading, it was not realized, which also became the biggest regret in the poet's life. According to the "Biography of Tang Caizi", Luo Yin was very talented, and when he was young, he showed talent, and he could write poetry and make articles, but unfortunately, in the first imperial examination, Luo Yin was named Sun Shan.
Luo Yin took the imperial examination with full of ideals, originally thought that with his own talent, he must be able to pass the imperial examination and achieve his life goals from then on, but who knows, after the first examination fell, he was not willing, and then took several examinations in succession, until after forty years old, after ten examinations, he finally put down his obsession, began to think about life, and went to play in other places to express his dissatisfaction with the examination.
How many decades can a person have? Moreover, a talent like Luo Yin spent all ten of his time taking the imperial examination, which also made him extremely depressed, which also affected the creation of his poetry, in this poem "Gifting Prostitute Yunying"; Luo Yin described personal grief in a self-deprecating way, as well as his views on life, the whole short four sentences, after reading people's heartache.
Zhong Ling was drunk for more than ten years and saw Yun Ying's palm again.
I am not famous and not married, and I may be inferior.
Luo Yin may never have thought that he would take the imperial examination ten times, but after experiencing that life, when he looked back on the past, he must have a lot of emotions. When he wrote this poem, he also met a friend of that year, it is said that the poet passed through Zhongling (Jinxian District, Nanchang, Jiangxi) when he was young, where he met a beautiful woman Yunying, and the two fell in love at first sight. At that time, they must have talked a lot with each other, and Luo Yin was also ambitious, but ten years later, when they met again, the two were still the same as before.
Of course, only the emotions are still connected, after ten years, their respective appearances must have changed, but each other has not changed anything, she is still engaged in the original work, Luo Yin is still a downcast student. This also makes Luo Yin very sad, but he can't express it, and can only be presented through self-deprecation.
At the beginning of the chapter, luo Yin explained the course of the incident, Luo Yin recalled the details of that year, it was in Zhong Ling drunk, it had been ten years since I had been separated, and now I was back here and met Yun Ying again, still as beautiful and moving as before, especially the beautiful dance was very charming. At the end, he not only laughed at himself, but also mentioned the deceased, "I am not famous and not married, and I may be inferior to others." "I'm not famous, I haven't achieved my ideals in life, you haven't married yet, maybe we're all inferior to others."
Luo Yin wrote in the last sentence of this poem, "Maybe they are not as good as people", which is to relieve the inner bitterness in a self-deprecating way, after all, time has passed, and it will never be the same, even if there is superior talent, it is useless. The whole poem adopts the technique of white painting, which is catchy to read, and each sentence is very classic, becoming one of Luo Yin's most representative works.
