Songlines
Author Cao Cao? Wei and Jin dynasties
Singing to wine, life geometry!
For example, morning dew is much more difficult to go to Japan.
Be generous, and your troubles will be unforgettable.
How to solve your worries? Only Du Kang.
Qingqing is your collar, YY is my miss.
But for your sake, I've thought it over.
A herd of deer, yo, ate mugwort in Ye Yuan.
I have a group of good guests, playing the piano and playing the piano.
As clear as the bright moon, when can I forget it?
The troubles come from this and cannot be cut off.
The weirder, the more useless.
Talk about it? I miss the elegance of the past.
There are few stars on the moon, and blackbirds fly south.
Turn around the tree three times, what branches can you rely on?
The mountain is never too high, and the sea is never too deep.
The duke of Zhou vomited, and the world returned to the heart.
Vernacular translation:
Singing to wine, life is short and the sun flies. Just like the morning dew is fleeting, there are too many lost days! The songs on the table are passionate and generous, and melancholy has filled my heart for a long time. By what to alleviate depression? Only binge drinking can set you free. Blue-collar students, you make me miss you day and night.
It is because of you that I have been chanting deeply to this day. In the sunshine, the deer are chirping on the green slope and eating leisurely. Once talented people from all over the world come to our home, I will entertain guests in blowing sheng. When can I pick the bright moon hanging in the sky? My long-standing worries and resentment suddenly welled up and merged into a long river.
Guests from afar came to see me one after another on the field path. Meet again after a long separation, have a long talk, and compete to tell the old friendship. There are few stars in the moon, and a group of nesting blackbirds fly south. Fly around the tree for three weeks without breaking your wings. Where can you live? The mountains do not hesitate to look at the towering rocks, but the sea does not abandon the trickle to see the grandeur. I would like to be as courteous as the Duke of Zhou, and I would like the heroes of the world to submit to me sincerely.
Extended data
The theme of this poem is very clear, that is, the author hopes to have a large number of talents for his own use. In his political activities, in order to expand his ruling base among civilian landlords and crack down on reactionary hereditary forces, Cao Cao once strongly emphasized "meritocracy", and for this reason, he successively issued orders to seek talents, recruit scholars and escape.
The "short song" is actually a "song of seeking virtue", and because it adopts the form of poetry and contains rich lyrical elements, it can play a unique infectious role, effectively publicize his persistence and cooperate with his decrees.
The whole poem gives full play to the characteristics of poetry, accurately and skillfully uses metaphor, and achieves the goal of combining reason with emotion and touching. At that time, Cao Cao was able to achieve the expected social effect according to the special laws of lyric poetry, and this creative experience is obviously worth learning from later generations.
