As we all know, due to the extreme underdevelopment of transportation and communication in ancient times, the ancients had a unique experience of parting. "Persuade the jun to make a cup of wine, the west out of the Yang Guan no reason", "send love infinitely, stained than scattered silk", "the sunset wine is far away, full of wind and rain down the West Building", the ancient literati inkers, but also created a large number of timeless and touching farewell poems, in order to pin a strong parting farewell.
The "Sending Lingche Shangren" shared with you in this article is a very classic farewell poem written by the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Changqing. Although comparatively speaking, Liu Changqing's "Sending Lingche Shangren" is far less famous than Wang Wei's "Sending Yuan Er Envoy Anxi", and Gao Shi's "Don Dong Da" and other sending parts are famous. However, it is worth mentioning that "Sending Lingche Shangren" is not only a deeply emotional farewell poem, but also an exquisite and picturesque landscape poem.
"Sending the Spirit to the People"
Cangcang Bamboo Forest Temple, the bells ring late.
Lotus belt oblique sun, green mountains alone back.
First of all, in the first sentence of the poem, "Cangcang Bamboo Forest Temple", Liu Changqing mentions a location, Zhulin Temple, and it is a bamboo forest temple in the shade of greenery. And Lingche Shangren is originally an honorific title for monks, so The Bamboo Forest Temple naturally has a bit of a problem. In addition, when Lingche Shangren Yun traveled to the Zhulin Temple in Runzhou (present-day Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), it coincided with the return of the author Liu Changqing from being degraded to Nanba (present-day Maomingnan, Guangdong).
Logically, at this time, Liu Changqing was frustrated, plus he had to send off his friends, and the mood should be much more sad. However, from the perspective of Liu Changqing's opening "Cangcang Bamboo Forest Temple", it still shows an indifferent and leisurely mood. As for the second sentence of the poem, "The Bells Sound Late", it is closely following the "Bamboo Forest Temple" in the first sentence, which means that at dusk, the bells in the temple are heard in the distance.
We all know that there is an old saying called "the sun rises and breathes", so once the dusk is associated with parting, there is invisibly a sad atmosphere, not to mention the urging of the temple bells. But on the other hand, it is understood that "the bell rings late" also shows that Liu Changqing is reluctant to return to the temple of the Lingche Master. It is precisely because of reluctance that there is a back "lotus belt with oblique sun, green mountains alone to return to the far away".
That is, in Liu Changqing's eyes, Ling Che was carrying a bucket on his back, and under the reflection of the sunset, he walked alone along the green mountain to the distance. Although the parting is relatively deep, the poet still portrays a character who is dashing in the face of parting. In addition, from the perspective of Liu Changqing's eunuch frustration, Lingche Shangren's "green mountains alone and far away" may be exactly what he expected at that time.
Looking at Liu Changqing's "Sending Lingche Shangren", the first two sentences write the scene before Lingche Shangren leaves, and the last two sentences write the scene of the poet watching Lingche Shangren return, expressing the poet's sadness and reluctance to leave his friend, and also showing Lingche Shangren and the poet's leisurely and indifferent feelings. Although the whole scene is written, the scene contains emotion, which is not only a deeply emotional farewell poem, but also a beautiful and picturesque landscape poem.
