In the Tang Dynasty, there were not a few people who used a poem as a symbol or label, such as Jia Dao, who "birds stay in the pond by the tree, monks knock on the door under the moon", Luo Yin, who "has wine in this dynasty and drunk in this dynasty", Wang Bo who "flies with lonely birds in the sunset, and the autumn water is long and colorful", etc., they have long been integrated with their own representative works and are famous all over the world.
The poet we are going to talk about today is called Qian Qi, and his "song is not seen at the end, and there are several peaks and green peaks on the river", which has a dream-like situation, which makes people think infinitely, and the shooting case is amazing. These two poems are from the "Provincial Examination Xiangling Drums" composed by him when he took the entrance examination in 751, which is also his famous work and masterpiece.
"Provincial Trial Xiangling Drum Ser" Qian Qi 〔Tang Dynasty) Good drum cloud and Ser, often heard of the emperor's spirit. Feng Yikong danced by himself, and Chu Ke was unbearable. Bitter tune miserable golden stone, clear sound into the meditation. Cang Wu came to complain, and Bai Zhi moved Fangxin. The flowing water spreads to Xiaopu, and the sad wind passes through the cave court. Qu finally disappeared, and several peaks on the river were green.
Qian Qi was no different from most of the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, hoping to obtain a position of nobility through scientific examination and honor his ancestors. But fate tricked people, fell behind several times, lost most of the confidence of money, tangled and depressed all day, resentful and helpless, lamented that his fate was not good, and had no face to see his father and fellow countrymen. Qian Qi could not dispel this extreme negative emotion, and once composed a poem called "Chang'an Luodi":
"Chang'an Luodi" Flowers and willows dark nine doors deep, Tears of sorrow. A few days 莺 flower all fallen feathers, A spring to a sadness.
In the poem, it can be seen that Qian Qi's pain after failing several exams can be seen, and he writes in the poem that the flowers are green and green, and it is spring, but the depth of the nine doors is far away. I drank heavily from the wine, and the tears wet my clothes. For several days, the warblers and flowers fell one after another, and every time spring came, I became more and more sad. Qian Qi will continue to fail to suppress, and vent his brain through this sad spring work, writing out the sorrow and sadness of his heart.
What is valuable is that Qianqi did not sink here, self-abandonment, after calming down, did not forget the original intention, only by cheering up the spirit, continue to study diligently, in order to achieve the ideal of being a soldier. Perseverance and hard work, finally to keep the clouds open to see the moon, in the imperial examination, with the "Provincial Examination Xiangling Drum" in one fell swoop, was recorded in the annals of history.
In ancient times, there were many poets who failed to pass the examination, and some of them were poor in their lives, and they failed to achieve their wishes, and the money was said to be lucky, and his efforts were finally rewarded. The chief examiner of quite a poetic talent, Xiangzhong, was in the poem "Provincial Examination Xiangling Drum", and he was impressed by the artistic conception created by "The end of the song is gone, and the number of peaks on the river is green", praising his divine strokes, and Qian Qi also ushered in a turning point in his life.
The opening chapter of "Provincial Examination xiangling drums" enters the illusory imagination space, appropriately introduces the legend of the xiangshui goddess, and cleverly fits the exam questions. The first four sentences write that the Xiangshui goddess is good at drumming, the beautiful music attracts the river god Feng Yikong to dance by himself, and the sadness and grief of the tune cause the Chu people who travel far away to become more sad and can't bear to listen.
The middle four sentences are the parts of the poet who render the sound with endless imagination, which shows Qian Qi's ability to perfectly control language and writing. The poignancy and resentment of the tune moves the hard stone, and the clear and high-pitched music strongly crosses the vast expanse of distance. Cang Wu complained about si mu, and Bai Zhi spat out the fragrance movingly.
The whole poem is completed in one go, gradually reaching a climax, and one wave is better than the next. The last four sentences of "flowing water spread to Xiangpu, sad wind through the cave court", with "flowing water" and "sad wind" continue to render the poetry, the music flying on the water surface, along the flowing water spread throughout the Xiang River, the breeze drifted by, the wind of sorrow flew to the vast and vast Dongting Lake. Heaven and earth and all things are touched by it.
The most exquisite is the last two sentences, "The end of the song is gone, the number of peaks on the river is green", when the song is silent, the Xiangshui goddess of the drum is also gone, only after the smoke dissipates, several verdant and green peaks quietly stand by the river. The author's imagination is too rich and magical, like a dream, and finally returned to reality, but it is still unfinished, and the reverie is infinite.
Qian Qi topped the list with "Provincial Test Xiangling Drumser", and since then he has entered the career path and realized his wish to become an official Yaozu, to paraphrase the current phrase, "Gold will always shine.". Judging from this poem alone, the knowledge accumulated by Qian Qi is already quite deep, talented, and brilliant. After entering the shi, there were also many remarkable works born, but none of them surpassed this long-lasting "Provincial Test Xiangling Drum Ser".
