When I dream back to the Tang and Song dynasties, I will always think of the prosperity of Chang'an and Bianhang. But the rise and fall of the millennium, the past is like smoke, and then looking back, only thousands of poems condense the memory of history into pearls, in the treasure house of national culture, incomparably bright.
Poetry from ancient times has accompanied generations of people. The poetry of the Tang and Song dynasties pushed ancient Chinese poetry to the most majestic peak.
The beauty of Tang and Song poetry lies in the harmonious rhythm and exquisite rhetoric. "The flowers are gradually charming to the eye, and the shallow grass can have no horseshoe", the tone is light and leisurely, and the battle is skillful; "The autumn wind of the horse is in the north, and the apricot blossom is in the spring rain in the south", the column is picturesque and full of poetry. All these things stir the soul.
The beauty of Tang and Song poetry is not only because it expresses people's subjective feelings, but also because it has historical and social values. It can carry joys and sorrows and express feelings; It can reflect reality and engrave history; It can light up the navigation beacon and illuminate the future. "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road", lamenting the suffering of people's livelihood; "The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river", worrying about the fate of the country. "Go to the west to come to the sky, quit home and see the moon twice, I don't know where to stay tonight, and Pingsha is uninhabited", which is Cen Shen's ambition to serve the country; "I don't have this body for a long time, when will I forget the camp", is Su Shi's emotion when he writes about life...These are the most vivid memories of our nation.
The poems of the Tang and Song dynasties are the bright moon of ambition and character, guiding us forward. The world is dangerous, wars are frequent, "the strong man saves the sky, and the commander of the clean armor does not need to be used", this is the poet's expectation for the peace and stability of the country and the people's living and working in peace and contentment; When we first came out of the world, we were confused, and the verses of "The young man's heart should be in the clouds, who reads the cold and sits and whines" spurs us forward.
Inherit the love of the ancestors and open the light of the future generations. Good poetry allows the lonely individual to find a name and a definition for his unspeakable feelings. Before leaving, sending off friends, Mo Dao parting bitterly, first there is a strong festival rhyme, "the sea has a confidant, the end of the world is next to each other", this is the optimism and openness of all Chinese in the face of parting. When a man walks alone in anguish, who does not let out a long howl of sorrow? "Thinking of heaven and earth, lonely and weeping! "I want to fill the vastness of the universe with my own voice. "Heaven and earth are like a reverse journey, I am also a pedestrian", walking in the world, although the world is different, but our hearts are also irrigated by the spring of poetry, which gives birth to the same source of life and death and values, and builds the foundation of a common outlook on life, so that we can empathize with each other across thousands of people. "The poems and books on the pillow are good, the scenery in front of the door is good", "the water is full and sometimes the heron is watched, and the grass is deep everywhere and the frogs are singing", the poems of the ancestors describe the grand scene, contain the feelings, and in the seemingly casual moment, let the great beauty of the world from the poems blurted out of the body and wander into life.
Tang and Song poems also made isolated individuals open the door of the deep lock, go out, and find companions. Meeting friends with poetry is the greatest joy of a literature lover. Or improvised, or the words are carefully considered, two people sing and harmonize, chant and sing, life poems and dances, and the mountains and rivers are smooth and quiet. But more often, there is no need to say much or deliberately chant, just in the evening, towards a round of red sun, invariably praise the sentence "the sunset is infinitely good", smile, everything is in the words. Thus, poetry builds a bridge between the hearts.
In the context of the current highly information-based era, people's lives have a tendency to be atomized, and society has gradually reduced to the simple superposition of many individuals. With the common characteristics of national culture, poetry connects atomic-like individuals, shapes public memories with a common language, and adds beautiful forms, embellishing time into "Spring and Autumn", and condensing deep affection into "Fifty Strings".
As a result, the poems of the Tang and Song dynasties are not just the songs of one person or a group of people, but have become the songs of a generation and thousands of generations. The poetry of the Tang and Song dynasties has been integrated into the national memory, and the Chinese society has also achieved the most solid foundation of classical poetry. Today, whether in the display of historical pictures, the cultivation of humanistic temperament, or the reshaping of cultural trends, the poetry of the Tang and Song dynasties has always been and will always be the green mountains in which we live. The green mountains and green waters are long, and the poems are sometimes self-prospering, which is really inexhaustible!
However, in a country of poetry like ours, many people have gone too far away from poetry. Nowadays, the fashion of the Internet takes straightforwardness as beauty, humor and spoof as fun, and even ugliness as beauty, and entertainment carnivals regard "vomiting images" as idols, which is really a decline in the public's aesthetic power. Modern people "blue thin mushrooms" and the like come when they open their mouths, but they are lost, "tearful eyes ask flowers and flowers are silent, and red flies over the swing"; When his girlfriend changed her name to Mary, how did she send her another song "Bodhisattva Man"? ...Poetry is gone, language is pale, aesthetic taste is becoming more and more vulgar, and what is even more sad is that our aesthetic psychology is becoming more and more distorted, we live too hastily, pragmatic and rough, and we are no longer as delicate and sensitive as the ancients.
But along the way, the cultural foundation of the Chinese nation is still there, and poetry is still there, so in contemporary times, people are still moving forward on the road of cultural inheritance and development. There is a way to be:
The poetry is beautiful, and the Tang and Song dynasties are towering peaks. Li Du is shining, and Su Xin is magnificent.
The green mountains are endless, and the rhyme should be endless. My generation should be like this, the dragon is ten thousand miles away.
