"The great cause of ancient and modern times, university questioners, must go through three realms. The west wind withered the green trees last night. Go up a tall building alone and see the end of the world. "This first place also.
My belt is getting wider and wider, which makes people haggard, and I won't regret it. So is this second environment.
The crowd looked for him a thousand times, and when I looked back, I saw the man in the dim light. So is this third place. "
This is the "three realms" that Wang Guowei must go through to achieve great things with the help of Yan Shu, Liu Yong and Xin Qiji in the Northern Song Dynasty.
These three realms, that is to say, we have to go through three stages when we pursue our ideals. The first stage should have lofty goals, the second stage should have tenacious will and persistent determination, and the third stage should show the highest level of realizing ideals.
Yan Shu, Liu Yong and Xin Qiji, three great poets, never dreamed that someone would magically connect their words and phrases in the future and become inspirational quotes.
These three words come from three poets in different times. Are these three words intended to express the "realm of life" Wang Guowei wants to express? Let's meet these three poets first!
Scene one? Go to the west building alone to see the world.
This word is Yan Shu's "Dead Hua Lian", the original text: "The threshold chrysanthemum is sad with smoke and tears. The curtain is light and cold, and the swallow flies away. The bright moon doesn't know how to leave sorrow and hate bitterness, and shines obliquely through Zhuhu Lake. The west wind withered the green trees last night. Go to the west building alone to see the world. If you want to send a colored ruler, you will know where the mountains are long and where the water is wide. "
From this sentence, "The bright moon doesn't know how to leave hate, and the oblique light goes to wear the vermilion", we can read that the theme the author wants to express is "leaving hate", but it is still missing to write that he experienced a sleepless night.
Xia Tan walked from indoor to outdoor. He found that the autumn wind blew all night last night, so that all the leaves on the tree were blown off. "A person goes to the West Building and hopes to see the end of the world." He climbed the tall building alone, but he couldn't see the end of the world before, because the trees were covered with branches and leaves, which blocked his view. Now that the leaves have been blown away by the wind, his sight has suddenly lengthened and he can see in the distance. The last two sentences, because I left, I want to write a letter to someone I miss, but I don't know where my old friend is.
Who is this person that Yan Shu misses? This should start with Yan Shu as Jing Zhaoyin. At that time, he had a good friend named Zhang Xian, who was also a very famous poet. When Yan Shu held a banquet at home, he invited Zhang Xian. Zhang Xian likes to write lyrics. Yan Shu just married a concubine. This concubine is unusual, not only beautiful, but also docile and drinkable, and her voice is also very nice. My concubine sang Zhang Xian's words and put the party.
Yan Shu is very proud. He feels that he has a beautiful young and versatile concubine who has a good face in front of his friends. On weekdays, because he dotes on his concubine and makes his wife jealous, he found an opportunity to sell her. From then on, Yan Shu was unhappy.
Later, Zhang Xi' an knew about this and wrote a poem "Blue Peony", "Looking at the Blue Bridge from afar, but there are thousands of miles of clouds, mountains and waters." I have to admire Zhang Xian's talent. He doesn't write about how Yan Shu misses Shi concubine. He writes about how he misses Yan Shu after being sold, even with resentment.
Yan Shu burst into tears when she heard this. His lover is gone, and every time I think of the little things I used to be together, all kinds of sadness will come to my mind. "A person stands in a tall building and looks at the end of the world." In those miserable days, only by turning my thoughts of my lover into eternal poems can I lick my wounds and soothe my lonely and helpless heart in the bleak wind and rain.
"Looking at the blue bridge in the distance, it's a thousand miles away." I didn't expect Zhang Xian's words to make Yan Shu burst into tears, so I wrote this eternal quatrain.
On the surface, ancient poets often wrote about the feelings of men and women, but in fact they wrote about the feelings of the monarch and his subjects about their home country. Did Yan Shu really just write away from hate?
Yan Shu is an accomplished teenager. In today's words, he is definitely a "schoolmaster" and used to be called a "prodigy". He was appreciated by the nobles very early, and was directly recommended by the nobles to take the Jinshi exam at the age of fourteen. Looking at the topic during the exam, he told the examiner that I had written this topic ten days ago and I would recite it. If I win the first prize on this topic, I feel ashamed. I hope you can change the subject.
Song Zhenzong knew this and appreciated Yan Shu's frankness, so he promoted him all the way. Yan Shu became the equivalent of a prime minister at a young age. However, knowing Yan Shu's life, Yan Shu had three experiences of being relegated. Think about it, a talented, honest and trustworthy person can be relegated three times, which shows that his imperial political ecology is not so good.
So this word may be his vision and yearning for the future when he is in political difficulties, or it may be!
The second world? I don't regret that my belt is getting wider and wider, which makes people haggard for Iraq.
Liu Yong was a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. He is definitely a "superstar" in the field of popular ci in the Northern Song Dynasty. Liu Yong's ci is popular in urban alleys, brothels and even rural women and children.
The original text of this poem "Love a Recent Butterfly" is:
Leaning against the dangerous building, the wind is fine, looking forward to spring sorrow, and the sky is dark. In the afterglow of grass and smoke, no one can rely on the meaning of silence.
I'm going to get drunk and sing a song about drunkenness. I will be strong and tasteless, my clothes will become wider and wider, and I will be haggard for Iraq, and I will not regret it.
It seems to be a sentence about lovesickness parting. On the pavilion, it says that a person goes upstairs and overlooks. When he saw the blue sky extending to the distant sky, he also remembered a beautiful woman in the distance. It's hard to miss you. Drink to drown your sorrows. It's just that the happiness you insist on has no taste at all. For those who miss you, the lovesickness is unbearable, the belt is getting loose and the figure is gaunt. He has been unable to let go of this man.
Is this word just a love story about missing someone? Not exactly.
Liu Yongcai's arrogance and fame spread far and wide. Because of his bohemian character, he always struggles on the road of official career. At the age of 50, he was admitted to Jinshi, and he didn't develop well after that. Just an official in a few places. After experiencing too many setbacks and blows, his heart was extremely cold.
"My belt is getting wider and wider, and I will never regret it. I will languish for Iraq." In those depressed and helpless days, who will help me tide over the difficulties and realize that grand ideal and ambition? In desperation, Liu Yong, who had been arrogant all his life, thought of Yan Shu, the prime minister of the dynasty, and wanted to ask Yan Shu, who was also a poet, to help him recommend him.
Yan Shu met Liu Yong. He asked arrogantly, do you write lyrics?
How could Yan Shu, a famous poet in China, ask him to write lyrics? Hearing the humiliation in Yan Shu's words, Liu Yong replied superciliously: I wrote some words just like you.
Yan Shu said: Although I write lyrics, I can't write such a disgusting sentence as "sewing clothes with Iraq".
Yan Shu's hypocrisy was exposed. He not only knew Liu Yong's lyrics, but also recited Liu Yong's lyrics.
Liu Yong and Yan Shu couldn't help him, but they turned and left.
Therefore, this word can also be understood as Liu Yong's suffering and humiliation in his pursuit of official career, which led to his suffering and gaunt figure. "I don't regret my clothes gradually, and I am embarrassed for Iraq." However, although it was difficult all the way, my pursuit did not stop.
In the third realm, people searched for him thousands of times, suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light.
Xin Qiji left many poems in his life. This "Jade Case"? Yuan xi "the original:
One night, the east wind made up thousands of trees and flowers, blowing off the stars and rain. BMW carved car, full of fragrance. Phoenix flute moves, jade pot turns, fish dragon dances all night. Moth, snow, willow, golden thread. The laughter faded away and people were looking for him. Looking back suddenly, the man was in the dim light. "
This word is written about the Lantern Festival, fireworks and watching the lively scene;
Xiatan is a touching story. People came and went, and he found a woman with a unique headdress. He vaguely heard her laughter, passed by her and smelled her powder. Now, he is not interested in enjoying the lights, just like the saying "I only have eyes for you". Suddenly, the woman disappeared. In the crowd, he searched many times. Just when he hardly expected despair, when he turned around, the woman was in the dim light.
At first glance, it is still a love word. Actually, this word is more meaningful. Xin Qiji may write his own destiny with the help of "twilight", which may be his expectation of realizing his ideal and ambition.
Xin Qiji is a hero in the history of literature. He is not only a writer, but also a hero. Because Xin Qiji grew up in the north under the rule of Jin people, he was less educated by traditional culture that made people blindly follow the rules. He has a chivalry.
In the thirty-first year of Shaoxing, 22-year-old Xin Qiji also gathered 2,000 people to join the huge rebel army led by Geng Jing and served as secretary. On his way back from his mission, he heard that Geng Jing was killed by the traitor Zhang Anguo, and the rebel army was dissolved. He led more than 50 people to attack the enemy camp, took the traitor back to Jiankang and handed it over to the Southern Song Dynasty court for execution.
Xin Qiji's amazing courage and decisiveness made him famous for a while. "Strong voices are close to Britain, cowards rise for them, and the son sighs when he sees them." Song Gaozong appointed him to sign a judgment in Jiangyin, and started his career in the Southern Song Dynasty. At this time, he was only 23 years old.
During his early tenure in the Southern Song Dynasty, he enthusiastically wrote many suggestions on resisting the Northern Expedition of Jin Dynasty, such as the famous Ten Treatises on Meiqin and Nine Treatises. Although these suggestions were praised and widely circulated at that time, the imperial court, which was unwilling to fight again, was indifferent. It was only interested in Xin Qiji's practical ability in the proposal, so it sent him to Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan and other places to hold important local offices to control famine and rectify public order.
This is obviously quite different from Xin Qiji's ideal. Although he did a good job, he felt more and more depressed and miserable because he deeply felt that time was flying, life was short and his ambition was hard to pay.
However, the reality is harsh for Xin Qiji. When Xin Qiji was 42 years old, he was dismissed for impeachment and returned to Shangrao. In the next 20 years, he spent most of his time in the countryside except for being appointed as the prison director and Fujian Special Envoy for Peace every two years.
As a hot-blooded man and a man of the hour, he was forced to leave politics when he was in his prime, which made him unbearable.
Therefore, he often enjoys the pastoral scenery and its quiet interest, while constantly surging in his heart, sometimes excited about his life ideal, and sometimes angry and depressed about the ruthlessness of reality.
Xin Qiji, 64, was appointed as the magistrate of Shaoxing and the envoy of eastern Zhejiang, and the spirit of the old poet did it one brace up.
However, he was hit hard again, forced to leave his job under the blows of some admonishers, and returned to his hometown in the first year of the jubilee. Although he has been called to work in the last two years, he is old and sick and weak. Finally, he died suddenly in the autumn of Kathy's third year.
Xin Qiji's life is a tragic life, which also created his brilliant literary life.
After reading these three words, if we downplay the author's life, or their political life, it can be explained only from the perspective of love, but the works of the ancients often use the love of men and women to write about the feelings of home and country. Those works that seem to be lovesick for men and women may contain a scholar-bureaucrat's positioning of his life and his pursuit of his ideals.
The Story of Ci on Earth is a book about Ci, not an inspirational book. We can not only feel the charm of great poets' ci, but also appreciate their feelings of home and country. This is undoubtedly a good book.
