Singing geese.

Tang] Luo Bing Wang.

Goose, goose, goose, song to the sky.

The white hair floats in the green water, and the red anthurium plucks the clear waves.

It can be said that as long as you have read the book, there is no one who does not know Luo Bingwang's "Song of the Goose". It is said that the day Luo Bingwang wrote the poem "Song of the Goose" happened to be his seventh birthday, and he was really a genius poet.

Legend has it that there were many guests at home that day, and they also brought a lot of delicious food to Luo Bingwang. When King Luo Bing saw the delicious food, he was greedy, and thought to himself how to get his father to agree to him eating those things as soon as possible. The son's mind naturally couldn't hide from his father, so the father decided to test his son. At this time, a maid came over with a big bowl of soup, which was Luo Bingwang's favorite eight-treasure white fungus lotus seed soup. The father said, "Son, if you can write a poem about the geese in the pond in front of you, I will give you the soup, and if you can't make it, you will go back to your study and read." ”

Luo Bingwang saw that his father was very serious, and he was afraid that his father would really let him go back to the study to study. He turned his head and saw the white geese in the pond who were croaking with their necks stretched out, and looked up at the bowl of fragrant lotus seed soup, and thought that the soup would not taste good if it was cold. So, in a flash of inspiration, he chanted: "Goose, goose, goose." When my father heard this, he didn't think it was any kind of poem, and shook his head a little angrily. At this time, King Luo Bing saw that the geese in the pond were just stretching their necks and calling to the sky, so he sang again: "Song to the sky." The father nodded and asked the maid to bring the lotus seed soup to his son, but said, "Let you watch it first, but you can't drink it yet." Luo Bingwang looked at the soup and the white geese floating in the pond, and then said, "The white hair floats in the green water." When my father heard this, he complimented, "Good, good!"Luo Bingwang listened to his father's words and was encouraged, so he quickly picked up the last sentence: "Anthurium plucks Qingbo." Then the father understood the meaning of his son's poem, and he couldn't help laughing, so he let him drink the soup.

Song of the Goose is a poem of songs, that is, poems that use objects as the object of writing. This poem, which has been passed down through the ages, has the characteristics of a nursery rhyme, it does not have any profound ideological connotation and philosophy, but it is described in a fresh and cheerful language, grasping the characteristics of the white goose. The whole poem has a main body (goose), a background (Qingbo), a body, a demeanor, an action, and a sound. Although the whole poem mainly adopts simple white drawing techniques, inadvertently, it makes good use of the contrast of "white", "green" and "red" colors to depict the beautiful and lovely characteristics of the white goose, which is not only natural, real and expressive, but also very in line with the aesthetic visual characteristics of children, showing the talent of Luo Bingwang in childhood to be good at observing the characteristics of things and comprehending the beauty of things.

In prison cicadas. Tang] Luo Bing Wang.

The cicadas of the Western Continent sing, and the southern crown thinks of invasion.

That can be the shadow of the temples, come to the white head to groan.

It is difficult to fly in the dew, and the wind is loud and easy to sink.

No one believes in Gaojie, who is the expression of the heart.

Luo Bingwang precedes this poem with a preface, in which the poet explains that he wrote this poem because of his own imprisonment. Luo Bingwang's preface complements the poem "Chanting the Cicada in Prison", introducing the cicada as a self-metaphor, taking the cicada as his own personality incarnation, expressing his depressed mood of being in prison, and begging for a clear official to see and give him a fair and fair judgment.

In the poem, he wrote: In late autumn, outside the west wall of the prison, the cold cicadas were chirping incessantly, and the sad sound of the cicadas brought the sorrow of the prisoners in the prison to a far, far away. The poet thinks that he is in the prime of his life, and he could have made great achievements, but he was imprisoned alone, so he had to recite such sad and sad verses as "Baitou Yin" alone. From this kind of telling, the reader can see the poet's great dissatisfaction and sadness about being in prison. Next, the poet further tells the reason for his dissatisfaction by writing about the situation of the cicada. Autumn is deep, autumn is heavy, autumn dew has sunk, and the thin wings of the autumn cicadas can't fly, they can only scream. Here, the poet clearly writes about the hardships suffered by the autumn cicada due to the deep autumn, but in fact he writes about the depression and sadness of not being free after being imprisoned. The key is that the poet is as incorruptible and noble as a cicada, and he is fragrant, but who can understand his own pure heart?

There is a reason for this. In the third year of Tang Gaozong Yifeng (678), King Luo Bin, who had just been promoted to serve the imperial history, was framed by others because of his love of fighting and being unfair, and was imprisoned. In the feudal court, where it was difficult to distinguish between evil and righteousness, King Luo Bin had nowhere to redress his grievances, so he picked up the pen of poetry, used cicadas as metaphors for himself, and looked at himself for self-pity. The poem uses the sound of cicadas to touch the "guest thoughts", which leads to the poet's deep nostalgia for his homeland in prison. In the poem, "things" and "me" are always linked, and writing things is also writing about the poet himself. used to be a dream-chasing boy, eager to sing like a cicada on a tree, but now not only has he achieved nothing, but he has even been falsely imprisoned. But what is valuable is that the poet is not willing to give in to the evil forces, Luo Bingwang highlighted his "noble" heart in the poem, but such a heart has nowhere to express, just as the Warring States period Chu doctor Qu Yuan said in "Lisao", "The world is turbid and not divided, so as to hide beauty and jealousy." In such a situation, who will avenge the poet?Only the cicada can sing for the poet, and only the poet can chant for the cicada. The poem ends with a question, and if you want to find the answer, that's all you can do.

In the poem, the poet is full of emotion, using symbolism to support things and words. This poem uses puns on words, writing things to metaphor people, and from people to things, reaching the realm of the integration of things and me, which is a rare famous poem in the poetry of things.

Yu Yishui gave it away.

Tang] Luo Bing Wang.

Don't Yan Dan here, and the strong man will rush to the crown.

In the past, there were no people, and today the water is still cold.

Luo Bingwang, who lived in the Tang Dynasty's Wu Zetian era, was deeply dissatisfied with the empress's rule and looked forward to the right time to restore the Li dynasty. However, before the time came, the poet felt so depressed that he fell into extreme depression and depression. As a result, the poet wrote "Yu Yishui Sends People a Must", which uses the people and events of the ancient times to satirize the present, and tortuously reflects the poet's depressed and sad state of mind.

This is an ancient poem, which is written about ancient people and events. The allusion of "Easy Water Sending Guests" comes from "Warring States Policy: Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin". In the last years of the Warring States period, the Seven Heroes competed for the world, and later, the Qin State became rich and strong, and had the ambition of annexing the Six Kingdoms and unifying the world. Dan, the crown prince of Yan State, was a hostage in Qin State and fled back to Yan State. In order to take revenge on the Qin State, he recruited the martial artist Jing Ke to prepare to go to the Qin Dynasty Hall and use a dagger to coerce the King of Qin to return the land of the princes he devoured. Jing Ke's action was unpredictable, and when he was leaving, Yan Prince Dan, Gao Yuanli and other people wore white mourning clothes to Yi Shui to see Jing Ke off. When saying goodbye, Gao gradually left and hit Zhule again, singing a tragic send-off song, "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return." The singing is agitated, expressing the determination of the strong man to see death as home.

The first two sentences of the poem, "Don't Yan Dan here, the strong man rushes to the crown" is written about the historical facts of Jing Ke and Prince Dan and other "easy water farewell", and summarizes the tragic scene with concise ten words, which expresses the poet's deep respect for Jing Ke, but also implies the poet's own determination to restore the Li Tang Dynasty. "In the past, there were no people, and today the water is still cold" naturally leads to the latter sentence from the previous sentence, uniting the ancient and the modern, and the meaning of using the past to metaphor the present is very distinct. The latter sentence is the center of the whole poem, it is allegorical in the scene, and Jing Ke's kind of fearless and unafraid of the high wind and bright festival has been introduced to this day, which still exists for thousands of years, which implies the poet's deep feelings about the real environment and his true psychology of taking Jing Ke as an example.

The poem is titled "Giving Away", but it does not describe the scene of a friend's farewell, let alone tell the reader who is sending it. In fact, it is entirely possible to define this poem as a purely nostalgic work, and readers can imagine from its content the passionate and magnificent scene of "generously leaning on the long sword and singing a farewell to the king" (Wang Wei's "Sending Judge Zhang to Hexi"), that is, they can understand the cynical feelings that the poet wants to express through historical stories.
