According to the language: The "Yuan Day" in the ancient poem refers to the first day of the first lunar month, which is different from today's New Year's Day. However, the New Year's Eve atmosphere of the two is much the same. Therefore, the "Yuan Ri" poem can also be read on New Year's Day.
On New Year's Day, Vientiane is renewed, the spring breeze is warm, and the world is peaceful. At this moment, we might as well enjoy a New Year's poem by Su Shi - "The Yuan Day Passes Danyang, the Tomorrow Begins Spring, and Lu Yuanhan is Sent". This poem uses the life detail of sneezing into the poem, so as to express the deep thoughts and good wishes for his friends, and show Su Shi's poetic heart and human feelings.
"The first day passes Danyang, tomorrow is spring, and Lu Yuanhan is sent".
Song) Su Shi. The red wisps of the pile plate are finely Chen, and the two buckets of pepper flowers are new.
The bamboo horse would rather believe in the old at different times, and the earth cow will not quit the spring tomorrow.
The West Lake should be early, and the North Temple is about to watch the lights.
Who is willing to remember the white-haired and pale face, and who is Xiaolai's frequent sneezing.
The red wisps of the pile plate are finely Chen, and the two buckets of pepper flowers are new. Through the delicate depiction of the festive diet of the spring plate, Su Shi brings the reader into a warm and lively New Year's scene.
"Pile of red wisps and fine yinchen" refers to the spring plate full of carp cut into red wisps, as well as fine yinchen (a kind of artemisia herb). Eating spring plates was a Spring Festival custom in the Song Dynasty.
Qiao and pepper flower two buckets new", can be understood as "(spring plate) and pepper wine secretly compete, who has more New Year's atmosphere". Drinking pepper flower wine is the same as drinking Tusu wine, which is also a New Year's custom in ancient times.
The bamboo horse would rather believe in the old at different times, and the earth cow will not quit the spring tomorrow. It can be understood that when I was a little boy riding a bamboo horse to play around, I never thought that one day I would be old and frail;From tomorrow, the earth cow will not leave the spring.
"Soil cattle" is a cow made of clay, which was made in ancient times at the beginning of spring, symbolizing the beginning of spring ploughing. "The Book of Later Han and the Book of Etiquette" records: "The day of the beginning of spring ......Shi Tu ox ploughman outside the door, to show the people, to the beginning of summer. ”
These two poems not only reflect the poet's feelings about the passage of time, but also reveal the beautiful expectations for the new year.
The West Lake should be early, and the North Temple is about to watch the lights. These two poems say that it is still too early to go to the West Lake to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and you want to go to the North Temple in time to watch the lanterns.
"Timely" means "timely". Watching lanterns is the custom of the Lantern Festival, which is very close to the Spring Festival. It can be seen that Su Shi really loves life very much, and has begun to plan for the new year, when and where to play.
Who is willing to remember the white-haired and pale face, and who is Xiaolai's frequent sneezing. These two poems are implicit, expressing the poet's deep longing for his friends, which is meaningful.
Gray hair and pale face are the traces left by the years and the testimony of friendship. And "Dawn Sneezes" is the poet's guess that his friend may be missing him. The word "sneeze" here is used very cleverly, which is not only in line with the reality of life, but also full of poetry. Through the daily phenomenon of sneezing, Su Shi skillfully conveyed his deep concern and longing for his friends. This expression of emotion is both sincere and vivid, making people feel the depth and warmth of friendship.
In addition, through the last sentence of Su Shi's poem, we can also know that sneezing is someone missing, this traditional saying has actually existed a long time ago, and has been passed down for thousands of years, and is still known to everyone. It is really shocking to feel the long history of Chinese culture.
All in all, through the delicate depiction of life details and deep emotional expression, Su Shi successfully integrates themes such as friendship, longing, and time into the poem, making this poem not only of high artistic value, but also full of profound humanistic care.
