What are the poems that describe "everything in life is useless"
Li Yu has many such words;
Langtaosha
The past can only be sad, but it is difficult to look back at the scene.
Moss invades the steps in the courtyard in the autumn wind.
As long as the bead curtain is not rolled up, who will come all day long?
The golden sword has been buried, and the strength has faded.
On a cool night, the moon shines brightly.
I want to see the shadow of Jade Tower and Yao Palace shining in Qinhuai!
Langtaosha
Li Yu
The rain is gurgling outside the curtain, and the spring is fading.
Luo Qui cannot bear the cold at dawn.
In the dream, I didn’t realize that I was a guest, and I was greedy for pleasure for a while.
Don’t lean on the fence alone, the country is unlimited.
It’s easy to say goodbye but hard to see others.
As the water falls and the flowers fall, spring is gone, and it is heaven and earth.
The Night Cries
Li Yu
The forest flowers withered their spring reds,
Too hasty,
Helpless Cold rain comes in the morning and wind comes in the evening.
Rouge tears,
Keep people drunk,
When will it be heavy,
Naturally, life grows and hates water.
The black night cries
Last night there was wind and rain, and the curtains rustled with autumn.
The candle is leaking and broken, so I often lean on the pillow. Can't sit up flat.
Everything in the world goes with the flow, and only a dream comes to an end.
The road to Zuixiang is safe and suitable for frequent visits, but it is not possible to travel otherwise.
Broken Zhenzi
Li Yu
In the past forty years, my family and country have been
Three thousand miles of mountains and rivers.
The phoenix pavilion and the dragon tower reach up to the sky,
The qiong branches of the jade tree are used as tobacco.
How many times have you ever seen fighting?
Once you become a captive,
your waist will sink and your temples will fade away.
On the day of farewell to the temple in a hurry,
The temple is still playing farewell songs.
Weeping to Gong E.
Midnight Song
Li Yu
How can we avoid sorrow and hatred in life? There is no limit to my love for being alone in ecstasy!
The dream of returning to the motherland brings tears to my eyes.
Who can go up to the tall building? I will always remember Qiu Qingwang.
The past has become empty, still like a dream.
Please accept it if you are satisfied, thank you for your strength. 3. A 500-word essay on the usefulness and futility of reading poetry
With the rapid development of today's economy, the opportunities for wealth creation have certainly increased. , Therefore, many contemporary students and even parents in large, middle and primary schools do not attach much importance to the importance of reading.
The consistent reason is: reading is useless. It is true that many large and small newspapers now publish from time to time that someone in a certain place founded XX company before graduating from junior high school or going to college and became a rich man. This may be true, or there may be some people from the older generation who have not graduated from junior high school or went to college. Although the conditions are poor and there is not much culture, he has become the CEO of XX company or even a millionaire. This may also be true.
So the parents of the students came to the conclusion: studying is useless, and you can still make a fortune without studying. As far as the documents are concerned, they are blindly lacking evidence.
The wealth creation of some people can only be explained by their unique economic management talents and entrepreneurial spirit, coupled with the good opportunities of the times, but cannot be said to be due to lack of culture. The news only reports on “new” and “wonderful” things.
In the world, some people have achieved something based on the knowledge and thinking they gained during their school years, but few reports are given. Aren’t some managers and ministers in society scholars? It's just ordinary and doesn't make it into the newspapers. From another perspective, not everyone has genius economic management skills and timely luck.
Otherwise, China and the world would not need to vigorously develop education. Characters like Yuan Longping and Qian Xuesen have no place for heroes.
What’s more, ability and contribution cannot be evaluated solely by the amount of money earned. So we say: "How can reading be useless?".
If you are studying for the purpose of scientific and technological research, to be honest, the mathematics and physics you are learning now will not be of much help to the world's problems in the future. But everyone knows that if you don’t know arithmetic, how can you study mathematics? How can you understand the law of buoyancy and Newton's law if you don't understand the physics in life? The most important point is to develop intelligence with that knowledge point.
People are not born with a genius mind. The reason why Einstein became a generation of mathematics masters and physics experts, and the reason why Archimedes became a mathematics giant is inseparable from their diligent study and hard work. Open. So we say: "How can reading be useless?".
If it is for the economy and future work, study, and life, you can indeed benefit a lot from school. For example, studying the Analects of Confucius can help people understand the philosophy of life, clear away the filth in their hearts, expand their minds, and understand how to deal with others; studying history can help people remember the past and the future, and also increase our knowledge. ; Learning geography can help people learn about the customs, mineral resources, transportation, etc. in various parts of the world without leaving home. Learning biology can help people understand the structure of living things, growth patterns, etc.
Can we say that reading is useless? Today is the age of college students, tomorrow will be the age of graduate students, and perhaps the day after tomorrow it will be the world of doctoral students. Nowadays, companies of all sizes in the world need to recruit talents with at least a bachelor's degree. You can't get a junior high school or high school diploma anywhere.
In contrast, who is willing to give up a talented student from Tsinghua University and choose someone who has not graduated from junior high school to work in his company? Therefore, I can firmly say: "How can reading be useless?". 4. If it’s useful, it’s precious; if it’s useless, it’s useless. How does it say in ancient poetry?
Tao Qian, a great master of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wrote the famous line “Pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely see the Nanshan Mountains”. His reputation as a lover of chrysanthemums is universally acknowledged. Dawn, and the chrysanthemum has gradually become a symbol of the otherworldly hermit. No wonder Zhou Dunyi of the Song Dynasty lamented that "the love of chrysanthemums is rarely heard of after Tao Yuanming" because there were not many true hermits after Tao Yuanming. There are many literati in the past dynasties who loved chrysanthemums, and among them, those who chanted chrysanthemums often produced excellent works. The Qijue "Chrysanthemum" by Yuan Zhen, a poet of the Mid-Tang Dynasty, is one of the more sentimental poems.
The poet sincerely loves chrysanthemums: clusters of blooming chrysanthemums are scattered all around the house. Along the bamboo fence, he admires these autumn chrysanthemums planted by his own hands without realizing it. The sun has set in the west. The word "Rao" in the first sentence refers to the number of chrysanthemums planted outside the house, giving people the feeling of an elegant environment, like Tao Yuanming's home. The word "circle" in the second sentence expresses the strong interest in appreciating the chrysanthemums. Instead of stopping at the east fence, it means "circling the fence" until the sun is approaching. His love for chrysanthemums seems to be even greater than that of Mr. Wuliu. The short fourteen words, with scenery, feelings and associations, vividly outline a picture of a poet strolling among chrysanthemums, admiring flowers and reciting poems in the autumn evening, and never wanting to return.
The third sentence makes a sharp turn to a negative sentence, pointing out that he is not in love with chrysanthemums for no reason. In late autumn, all the flowers have faded. Only the chrysanthemum can withstand the wind and frost. It supports independently and adds vitality to the world. The poet loves life and nature. The last chrysanthemum that blooms in the four seasons makes him forget his love and cannot let go of it. Classical Chinese poetry often uses objects to express feelings, such as Qu Yuan's "Ode to Orange" and Chen Zi'ang's "Feelings of Encounter", both of which are examples. Yuan Zhen's poem "Chrysanthemum" praises the chrysanthemum's noble conduct and strong character, and also contains profound meaning.
This poem takes the artistic conception of Tao's poems, and also chants it in elegant and simple language. It is not like Tao Gong who uses all images and implication; instead, after describing the concrete things, he expresses love in a self-narrative way. The origin of the chrysanthemum is not explained in one sentence, leaving room for imagination for people to ponder and chew, which enhances its artistic appeal.
Therefore, it has always been loved by people
