Travel through time and space, and your thoughts sink. Drifting in the sea, the fallen leaves return to the roots. Life does not know where it comes from or where it is going. What we know is only a process, and it is difficult to grasp. Life is crazy like this, between the upside downs, how much super dust, how much intoxicated red dust. The answer is in the heart, the full moon in the heart of heaven.
"Reward Lee Mu See Mail" [Tang] Liu Changqing Lonely boats visit the end of the world, and the Wanzhu Yunshan Road is more credit. To sweep the firewood door to welcome distant guests, moss and yellow leaves fill the poor home.
The poem was written when Liu Changqing was sima of Mu Prefecture (present-day Jiande County, Zhejiang). Li Mu, Liu Changqing's son-in-law, has a poem "Sending His Wife father Liu Changqing": "When the clouds and mountains are endless everywhere, Tonglu's southern outlook is uneven. The boatman Mo Dao xin an approach, want to go up the river since the delay. "This poem should be a reply, a letter of poetry. Thinking of thousands of miles, Feihong lost, and drank a few glasses of old wine, calling out confidants to get drunk.
"Lonely boats visit the end of the world, and the road to the clouds and mountains is more credit", the description of the scene where the visitors come from thousands of miles, these pictures are based on the poet's imagination. But this imagination is realistic: a lonely ship, sailing on a long waterway, so tirelessly, just to meet his loved ones; countless days and nights, clouds and mountains blocking each other, the road seems more and more distant. But what, the thought is always there, yearning for eternity.
Here, the prominence of "Lonely Boat" is very obvious, and it is very clear that Li Mu has no way to take his wife and son, and often comes and goes to visit his father-in-law. Only under limited conditions, occasional visits. As for the reason, it is said by "Tianya" and "Ten Thousand Turns", which is a natural graben, because of the long distance, it is not easy for relatives to communicate with each other, and they cannot reach their destination unless they have experienced all kinds of difficulties.
The ancients liked to say "the end of the world", describing the impossibility of meeting each other. In fact, this kind of compromise on difficulties, or some strong expectation from the heart, can explain the hardships and hardships of ancient traffic. Although distance can produce a stimulating sense of beauty, but also can accumulate strong emotions, so as to achieve poetic understanding, but the problems in reality, the barriers in time and space are always unable to be solved.
"Want to sweep the wood door to welcome distant guests, moss and yellow leaves full of poor homes", at this point, the poet returned to his own situation, full of expectations, waiting for the arrival of his relatives. Here, these fiery pictures are still only the poet's imagination. Tidy up the dilapidated firewood door to welcome distant guests, remove the moss from the steps, and clean up the yellow leaves that flutter, as the saying goes: "Poor and clean, rich and dirty." "Home, even if it is poor and difficult, can not lose its full enthusiasm.
Through the "Chai Gate", we can see the simplicity of the poet's living conditions, and through the "moss and yellow leaves" we perceive the lack of communication. Although the poet is poor, between the lines, there is a fiery hospitality. He did not refuse to be thousands of miles away because of his own material difficulties, or cold face, but with enthusiasm to remove moss, sweep leaves, and "welcome distant guests" with a clean environment. Sweep away the dirt and grime of the soul.
In fact, these two sentences are a reply to Li Mulai's poem, everything is based on imagination, and it is a continuation of the previous two sentences. He imagined the difficulties of the visiting journey of distant visitors, which are natural and inescapable; he also imagined the welcome scene after the arrival of the guests, using emotional fullness to remove material inadequacies; seeing the truth in the subtleties, and every word contained thoughts and concerns for relatives.
The poem is sincere to the end, and this word is enough. Fancy tricks can sometimes dominate and become an obstacle to reading. This poem abandons many wonderful ways of writing, and integrates the enthusiasm and concern for relatives into the words, so that people can form a more rational thinking, taste the poet's deep feelings, and the incomparably heavy Mo Ke
If you need to find a clever trick, it is that the poet uses his rich imagination throughout the poem, delicately constructing the drowsiness of the journey of the distant traveler and the reality of his own poverty. This imagination is not wild, but down-to-earth, based on an incomparably real foundation. Because of this, the poetry is even more moving, worthy of repeated recitation, intriguing to chew, and long aftertaste.
