Make an appreciative comment
Lu You's famous saying sums up the inevitability of various diseases in human life through "three thousand diseases", but acacia is unusual because it is not a physical disease, but an emotional torture, which is difficult to cure. This sentence emphasizes the profound and unsolvable suffering of acacia, and also shows the poet's deep homesickness.
Creation background
This poem describes Lu You's sleepwalking in Shenyuan Pavilion at night, in which Nanxiang and Meihua are the places and memories where he met in the past, and when he came here again, all his relatives were gone, leaving only the pain of lovesickness. Lu You's father was once demoted to this place for offending powerful people, so Lu You also lived here for a period of time. This poem reflects his yearning for his hometown and relatives.
To annotate ...
"Three old diseases" means "all kinds of diseases suffered by thousands of generations of human beings".
"Acacia is incurable" means "Acacia is difficult to heal".
Enlightenment of life
This sentence means that human beings will suffer many pains and tribulations, but the most difficult thing to cure is the pain of acacia in their hearts. Acacia is an emotion that cannot be cured by drugs. Only time and self-adjustment can gradually dilute its influence. We often fall into the mire of feelings and can't extricate ourselves, but only through our own efforts and slowly let ourselves out can we regain our inner freedom and peace.
Personally, I have experienced a period of lovesickness, and I can't extricate myself, but by constantly adjusting my emotions and way of thinking, I let myself relax and release, and finally I slowly got out of the shadow. We will also encounter all kinds of disappointments and difficulties in life, but only by actively coping with them and handling them with heart can we better face the challenges in life and become stronger and stronger.
