Chuzhou Xijian [Tang Wei Yingwu] The lonely grass is born on the side of the stream, and there are yellow orioles on the deep tree song. The spring tide brings rain to the evening, and the wild ferry has no one to cross itself.
Another poem that I wrote calligraphy as a child. Reading it feels a little lonely and cold, which gives me a feeling a bit like Liu Zongyuan's "Little Stone Pond", although the author tries his best to depict the beautiful scenery, but there is always a bit of chill in this scenery. Wei Yingwu, along with Wang Wei, Meng Haoran, and Liu Zongyuan, is a poet of the school of landscape idylls, and I prefer Wang Wei and Meng Haoran, and I always feel that the poems written by Liu Zongyuan are too cold.
Wei Yingwu was from the Gaomen clan. Earlier we read Lu Lun's poems, and we know that Lu Lun is from the Fanyang Lu clan of the family, and there were 8 prime ministers, which is a first-class family. This comes back to see the Wei family from which Wei Yingwu was born.
Jingzhao Weishi is a Wei surname family with Jingzhao County as the county in the Middle Ages of China, and during the Han Dynasty, there was a common proverb called Jingzhao Weishi and Jingzhao Dushi as "Chengnan Weidu, Go to Tianzhi Five". During the Wei Jin to Sui and Tang dynasties, Jingzhao Weishi developed into a representative of the Guanzhong County surname. Entering the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Jingzhao Weishi has achieved unprecedented development, and there is a Tang generation, and Jingzhao Weishi has successively given birth to 17 prime ministers.
The above is Baidu Encyclopedia's introduction to Wei Yingwu's family, and it is indeed a family that is more prominent than FanYang Lu's family, with 17 prime ministers, which is really amazing.
Wei Yingwu was born in such a large family, he was born in the twenty-fifth year of Tang Xuanzong's kaiyuan, the most prosperous and rich time of the Tang Dynasty, at the age of 14, he became a palace guard, and the spring breeze was proud.
Before the Anshi Rebellion, Wei Yingwu was an out-and-out clumsy disciple. After the Anshi Rebellion, he saw the mountains and rivers shattered, was greatly shocked, and from then on, he changed his mind and concentrated on studying, and later the official fortunes were also good, and there was a knighthood of a baron in Fufeng County, and the official was to Suzhou Thorn History.
Wei Yingwu's life reminds me of Zhang Dai. The first paragraph of Zhang Dai's "Self-made Epitaph" reads:
Shu people Zhang Dai, Tao Anqi number also. Less for the stupid children, very much love prosperity, good house, good beauty, good child prostitution, good fresh clothes, good food, good horses, good lanterns, good fireworks, good pear orchards, good trumpets, good antiques, good flowers and birds, and tea and orange abuse, bookworm poetry, toiling for half a life, all become dreams. In the fifties, the country was destroyed and the family died, and the mountain dwellings were avoided, and the survivors broke the bed and broke a few, folded the sick piano, and the number of broken books was missing. Cloth and vegetables, often to the point of breaking the cook. Looking back twenty years ago, it was like a lifetime away.
Compared with Zhang Dai, Wei Yingwu was obviously much luckier. After all, although he lost his official position during the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty did not perish, he was only 23 years old, still young, and promising, and he could continue to exert his talents in the court of the Tang Dynasty. But Zhang Dai is facing a change of dynasty, and he is 50 years old, and he has no strength to start from scratch.
The poem was written during Wei Yingwu's tenure as an assassin in Chuzhou. Chuzhou, now the western part of Chuzhou City, Anhui Province. There is a western stream in Chuzhou, with beautiful scenery, which is a place where Wei Yingwu often goes.
In the first sentence, "Alone and pitiful, the grass grows by the stream", the poet pays attention to the grass that grows by the stream, saying that he only loves this grass. There is a mistake in the "Ancient Poetry Lesson", which interprets "pity" as "pity", which is really not in line with the identity of Teacher Shi Jiepeng as a doctor of Chinese department. I learned in high school Chinese class that "pity" should mean "love".
In the second sentence, "There are yellow orioles singing deep trees on it", the poet's gaze moves from the edge of the stream to the dense trees, and from the visual to the auditory. At the quiet side of the stream, there are yellow orioles chirping, which further sets off the tranquility of the environment.
The third sentence "Spring tide brings rain late to urgent", as if the timeline has changed, the tide and rain rush in at night, but inexplicably become night, and it also rains, feeling that the logic is not smooth. Can it be understood that the water in the stream is so rapid that the poet suspects that it was a torrential rain the night before? I thought of my grandmother's creek, because it was very small, so as soon as there was a heavy rain, the stream would rise.
In the last sentence, "Wild ferry has no one to cross itself", at the ferry port in the wild, there is no one, only a small boat is dangling on its own. It's really lonely and lonely to read.
