The sense of distress of Chinese intellectuals has a distinct imprint on Feng Yanmi, while feng Yanmi, who is full of speculative spirit, sublimates his personal life and feelings into a common human emotion, that is, the sigh of worry and sorrow. As mentioned earlier, the Southern Tang Dynasty has inevitably gone into decline, which is Feng Yanmi's lament of sorrow; and mankind's fear of time, anxiety about future uncertainty, and fear that beauty will inevitably lead to desolation constitute Feng Yanmi's sigh of worry. These made feng Yanmi, who was sensitive by nature, even more sad. The prosperity of Jiangnan is in Feng Yanmi's view that "the clouds and rain have been desolate, and the spring grass in Jiangnan is long"; time is fleeting and life is short, and Feng Yanshu wrote sad words and phrases such as "gradually realizing that the years can be long-sighted" and "worrying about Shao Guangneng". "Drunken Flowers: Spring in the Snow Garden":
The sunny snow garden has not yet arrived in spring, and the plum by the pool has been early in the morning. Tall tree magpie nest, oblique moon bright cold grass.
The scenery of the mountains and rivers is good, since the ancient Jinling Road, the teenager looks old. When you meet, don't get drunk on the golden cup, don't leave more, and have less fun.
The small garden is snowy after the snow, and before spring arrives, the plum trees by the pool have already quietly bloomed. Magpies nest in the mud on the high treetops, and the moon hanging obliquely in the sky shines on the cold grass.
The scenery of Jinling in Jiangnan has been so beautiful and delicate since ancient times. The scenery is still young people can see the old in the blink of an eye. It is not easy to meet, please let us drink bitterly, because life is always more away from the season and less opportunity for joy.
This is a typical way of writing mourning with a happy scene. Shangque writes beautiful early spring breeze, everything is so warm and lovely, even if there is some spring cold, but everything is lively, but in the lower que, Feng Yanmi is in the beautiful wind, what he sees is the sadness of growing old and life gathering less and more.
Feng Yanwei's sentence "The scenery of the mountains and rivers is good, since the ancient Jinling Road, the teenager looks old" is extremely painful, and the worries of the family and the country are perfectly integrated with the wounds of the passage of time, and the reading can't help but make people cry. Therefore, Feng Yanmi's "Willow on the Qingwu Causeway on the Riverbank, in order to ask new sorrows, what things happen every year", Feng Yanmi is asking himself what he is worried about, at this time it is already clear, first of all, he is wandering about the decline of his homeland but unable to save it; secondly, the sadness of his personal career turmoil four times; and finally the confusion about the future for a short time in his fleeting life.
In the history of The Tang and Song Dynasties, there are many people who write melancholy, such as Li Hou lord's "Ask the King can have a few sorrows, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward", writing out the great realm of the high water of the sorrowful mountain; Qin Shaoyou, who is known as the "sad person of ancient times", uses "flying red ten thousand points of sorrow like the sea" to compare the height of melancholy with Li Hou lord; Li Qingzhao, a literary and artistic woman, uses "flowers float from zero, water flows by itself, a kind of acacia, two idle sorrows, this feeling can not be eliminated, only to lower her eyebrows, but on her heart" to express the lingering pity of the woman's sorrow. However, Feng Yanmi, as the grandfather of the Song Ci Wanyue Sect, was obviously higher than the Tang and Song Poets in expressing the sorrows of life. Because Feng Yanshu wrote about sorrow, he wrote the great realm that was praised by critics as "deep beauty and Hong Covenant", and wrote a deeper, more lasting, and more intense life experience. In Feng Yanmi's view, the sorrows of life always surround life, such as his famous work "Que Ta Zhi • Who Is Idle and Throwing For a Long Time":
Who's going to throw around for a long time? Every spring comes, the sorrow is still there. Before the daily flowers, he was often sick with wine, and dared to resign in the mirror.
Willow on the qingwu embankment on the riverbank, in order to ask the new sorrow, what is the matter every year? The independent bridge is full of sleeves, and the Hirabayashi Crescent people return.
Who says melancholy has been forgotten for too long? When spring comes, my sad mood is the same. Every day I drank in front of the flowers, every time I was drunk, I didn't care at all about the original rosy face in the mirror, I was getting thinner and thinner.
The grass on the banks of the river is verdant and the banks of the river are lined with willow trees. I pondered sadly to myself, why do I add new sorrow every year? I was alone at the head of the small bridge, the breeze blowing on the sleeves. When the man returned, a crescent moon rose in the woods.
It was hard to forget the old sorrows, I thought that after that life would no longer be sad, but every spring, new sorrows and old sorrows came to mind together, for this kind of new sorrow and old hatred, Feng Yanmi had a heart of resistance, that is to say, in the face of the irreparable tragedy of the impermanence of life, he had struggled and resisted, just as he said, "Before the day and day flowers, he was often sick and drunk, and dared to resign from the mirror zhu Yan thin", resisting the impermanent life with the determination of nine deaths and no regrets. But this kind of impact is lasting and continuous, so Feng Yanwei, facing the spring of "the willow on the Qingwu Causeway on the riverbank", helplessly issued a sad question, "In order to ask new sorrows, what is the matter every year"? Why sadness always comes with spring, but can not go with spring, so he who is caught in sorrow can only be "independent bridge full of sleeves, Pinglin Crescent People return", leaving a lonely and desolate back to the vigorous spring.
In addition to the long-lasting sorrow of time, in Feng Yanwei's view, the sorrow is really everywhere between heaven and earth, just as a song sings, "Wildfires are gently burning, I have nowhere to escape." Let's look at another of his poems, "Picking Mulberries":
Sheng Ge let the people go home and stayed alone in the Red Chamber. The moon is cloudy, and half of the beaded curtains are hung with jade hooks.
Get up and inspect through the ground, everywhere new worries, rely on the east stream, will be taken across the orange island.
It seems that this is a love song, but who can say that this is not Feng Yanmi's summary of his life. After a banquet, people went to the empty building, late at night without sleep, I reflected on my past, and found that the world of life was full of new sorrows and old hatreds. Feng Yanshu also wrote in another poem, "How much do the old sorrows and new hatreds know, and the eyes are far away", which also writes about the spatial consciousness of the ubiquity of sorrow.
It is the purpose of all religions in the world to be bitter and happy, and it is also the ultimate goal that man pursues. But life is always full of joy and sorrow. There are joys and sorrows in life, there are "light boats have passed through ten thousand heavy mountains"; there are also "mountain rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings". The process of life is a process of intertwining joy and sorrow. The problem is that people always want to get, but do not want to lose, people always want to be happy and lasting and sorrow is no more, so the loss after getting, the loss after joy, is really the most sad thing in life. And the real master of writing sorrows can always compare the former joy with the new sorrows, and the sorrows always sweep in at the moment of the climax, writing the intensity of the sorrows. "Que Ta Zhi Xiao Suo Qing Qiu Zhu TearDrop":
Xiao Suo's autumn beads fell in tears, the pillow was slightly cool, and the spread turned sleepless. The remnants of wine want to wake up in the middle of the night, and the moon is as bright as the practice of the sky like water.
The cold cry of the steps, the golden wind of the garden tree, and the door closed quietly. It is a pity that the old joy joined hands and thought about it overnight.
On a cold autumn night, bean-sized tears slid down my face. The pillows and bamboo mats were slightly cold, and I turned them over without any drowsiness. I was still drunk and about to wake up. When I got up in the middle of the night, the moonlight was as bright as white silk, and the night sky was as soft and calm as water.
Below the steps, the "Weaver Lady" cried mournfully in the cold autumn. The autumn wind blew against the trees in the yard, and the night was quiet, and the door inside the house was closed. It's just a pity that in the old days, where we experienced joy together hand in hand, acacia was tortured to death overnight.
Feng Yanshu said that his worries came suddenly, and after only one night, he was already haggard. Such an example of using joy and loss as a sharp contrast, in Feng Yanmi's words, there are many more, such as "there is no place to say before the calendar, guan shan and when to leave", such as "thousands of miles away, still remember the song last night", and so on. The joy of last night and the desolation of today, such a sharp contrast, made the melancholy have a strong impact, so that Feng Yanmi was "thinking about it overnight into a haggard".
"Last night's song is easy to disperse, and the wine awakens to add infinite sorrow", life is always a process of changing from happiness to sorrow to happiness and sorrow, and in Feng Yanmi's tragic vision, the happiness of life cannot last, often it is the process of happiness and sorrow, which is also the common experience of our human beings. Only by writing words that are commonly experienced by human beings can they have lasting vitality.
From this, we can see the obvious difference between Feng Yanmi's words and the words between the Western Shu flowers, that is, the intellectuals have a strong sense of worry and worry about the world, compared with the red fragrance of the words between the flowers, which is crisp and soft, and obviously carries the sadness of life and the sorrow of life. The later Lord Li Hou pushed this personalized personal lyricism to the peak, from "Asking the jun how many sorrows, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward" to "how can life be avoided, how can the soul be destroyed", the personal sorrow and joy have written out the philosophical thoughts of the universality of life, which is a clear sign of the Southern Tang Dynasty poets, and Feng Yanwei is obviously walking in front of Li Hou Lord.
Although life is full of sorrows, we still have to pursue beauty. Even in the face of the imperfections of life, Feng Yanwei is pursuing the beautiful in the end. Feng Yanshu expressed his yearning for a better life in a rather folk-style poem:
Spring feast, green wine a glass of song again. Goodbye to Chen Sanzhi: one wish lang jun chitose, two wishes concubines chang jian, three wishes like Liang Shangyan, the years to see each other.
Hopefully, everything in the world will come true.
