Liu Yuxi and Bai Juyi both suffered from eye diseases and foot diseases in their later years, making it inconvenient to read and move. From this point of view, they are in the same boat. In the face of such a late scene, Bai Juyi had a negative and pessimistic mood, and wrote an "Old Fu" to Liu Yuxi (word dream): "I am old with you, ask myself why." At night, if your eyes are dry and your head is not combed properly, lie down first. Sometimes when the crutches come out, they stay indoors all day. Don't read small print books if you are too lazy to get a new mirror. Feelings for old friends are heavy, and traces of * * * teenagers are rare. It's not just talking and meeting. 」
Liu Yuxi read Bai Juyi's poem and wrote "Appreciating the Happy Days and Seeing the Old" in return: "Who cares for the old, who has pity for the old? The thin body is frequently reduced, and the thin hat is biased. Waste books cherish eyes, and moxibustion is mostly for years. Classics are still familiar things, and people are like reading Sichuan. It's lucky to think about it carefully, but it will succeed next time. Don't say Sang Yu is late, because it is still full of clouds. 」
The first part is divided into two sentences: "Who cares about being old and who has compassion when he is old?" It means: people who don't care are not afraid of being old. Who will pity you when you are old? The next four sentences: "The body is thin and frequently reduced, and the hair is thin and the hat is biased. Waste books cherish eyes, and moxibustion is mostly for years. It means: when the body is thin, the belt is often tightened, and when the hair is sparse, the hat is automatically skewed. In order to cherish my eyes, I give up reading books. In order to prolong life, I often ask a doctor to recuperate and treat. This part inherits Bai Juyi's original poems, expresses his response to Bai Juyi's thoughts and feelings of "praising the old", and shows that his views on "the old" are consistent. It is extremely kind to read.
The meaning of the last six poems has undergone a great turning point, and poetry has mushroomed. "The familiar things, people like reading sichuan. It's lucky to think about it carefully, but it will succeed next time. Don't say that Sang Yu is late because it is still full of clouds. " The first two sentences, "I am familiar with things, and I read people like Sichuan", mean that I am old and have experienced a lot of things, and I understand them deeply and thoroughly. I can see people at a glance like mountains and rivers, and I have deep knowledge. The next two sentences, "Deep thinking is luck, deep thinking is nature, which condenses the essence of life"; Comprehensive understanding and full of dialectical thinking; Affectionate, expressing the poet's true love and sincere encouragement to his old friend. The last two sentences "Don't say that Sang Yu is late, because the sky is still full of clouds." Sang Yu, sunset. That is to say: Don't say that it is very late in Sang Yu on Sunday, and the sunset glow can still shine all over the sky. Here, the poet expresses an open-minded, optimistic and positive attitude towards life with a charming and affectionate metaphor.
The first six sentences of the poem "Appreciating Lotte and Seeing the Old" are based on Bai Juyi's original singing, which shows that he and Bai Juyi have the same view on "old". It is human nature to write a sentence or two about "providing for the aged". Everyone is worried about aging, and no one is pitiful when they are old. Then four sentences further explain the reasons for "providing for the aged". The poet described it in vivid language: because of aging, the body is getting thinner day by day, the belt is tightening constantly, the hair is sparse, and the hat is naturally skewed. Abandoning books is to protect eyes; Moxibustion is often used to prolong life.
The sentence "I am still familiar with what I am doing" ... and I can do it now "talks about the view of" old age "from another side, which is aimed at Bai Juyi's" injury to old age " Liu Yuxi believes that the old one has its shortcomings, but it also has its strengths. The weakness of old age is infirmity, "thin body is often reduced, hair is thin and self-biased." The advantage of being old is rich experience. "Experience is also familiar with things, reading people like reading Sichuan. The older you get, the more things you experience, the more things you know, and the more people you meet, the deeper your experience will be. Come to think of it carefully, this is also a blessing. Therefore, the poet sang: "I will be happy when I come down here." "The poet advised his friends not to worry too much about aging, and they can be happy as long as they are treated correctly.
The last two sentences are the crowning touch of the whole poem, with beautiful artistic conception. The momentum is unrestrained, and Cao Cao is "an old horse crouching and aiming at a thousand miles." The martyr's later years were full of courage. In the face of aging, the poet is neither negative nor pessimistic. He should spend his whole life scattering red clouds all over the sky. These two poems are not only the self-disclosure of the poet's inner world, but also the relief and encouragement to his old friend Bai Juyi.
The first paragraph and the second paragraph of this poem are contradictory, natural, dialectical and persuasive. The last two sentences are particularly incisive. In fact, they are cautionary words, which are used by later generations to encourage themselves.
Appreciating Lotte as an old man, highlighting the creative background: in the first year of Tang Wenzong (836), 64-year-old Liu Yuxi made Luoyang the capital of princes, which was actually equivalent to retiring from politics; Bai Juyi, a colleague at this time, has lived in Luoyang for three years in the same capacity.
These two have long been close friends in poetry and prose, and have gone through a long career change and read all the vicissitudes of life; We are glad to be together at last.
Both of them are masters of poetry, and naturally there is no shortage of poetry singing fees; Because both of them are old and suffer from foot diseases and eye diseases, it is inevitable that they are in the same boat. Bai Juyi is sometimes very knowledgeable about old diseases. He once said in "Look in the mirror and enjoy your old age": "There is no doubt that it is better to die late than early.
However, sometimes he can't help feeling sad. In his poem "Farewell to the Old Age and Dream" for Liu Yuxi, he showed negative pessimism about aging: "Grow old with the monarch, ask yourself what is old?"
At night, if your eyes are dry and your head is not combed properly, lie down first. Sometimes when the crutches come out, they stay indoors all day. Don't read small print books if you are too lazy to get a new mirror. An old friend is heavy in love, but a trace of a teenager is rare. It's not just talking and meeting. "Liu Yuxi wrote this poem.
