Li Wei said the twentieth poem.
Personnel have metabolism, and exchanges have become ancient and modern.
The rivers and mountains leave traces of victory, and our generation will come again.
The water falls and the fish beam is shallow, and the weather is cold and the dream is deep.
The sheep monument is still there, and I am in tears after reading it.
This is a song that hangs the past and hurts the present. The author, Meng Haoran, a native of Xiangyang, Hubei, was a famous hermit poet in the Tang Dynasty. However, although he has never been out of office, he is not willing to let go of himself, and he has been in a painful contradiction all his life. Dashou Mountain, located in Xiangyang, Hubei, is the place where Fuxi was buried in the legend, and the Dongfu Dojo of Chi Songzi. There are many historic sites on the mountain, such as Liu Biao's tomb, Wang Cangjing, Yanghu's fallen tears tablet and Du Pre's Shentan tablet, and so on. Climb to the top of Da Xian Mountain, and you can also overlook the old Li of Song Yu, Kong Ming's hometown, Guan Yu's flooded relics of the Seventh Army, and so on. It has always been a place where literati and artists like to visit and worship.
The whole poem can be divided into two parts, the first four sentences focus on hanging the past, and the last four sentences focus on the present.
The first couplet of the poem is narrated by discussion. Personnel have metabolism, and exchanges have become ancient and modern. The things of the world are always rising and falling; Over the years, today's history has been created. These two lines of poetry simply summarize the universal law of historical development. The words are plain and the narrative is peaceful. Very much in line with the mentality of a hermit. But when I savor it, there is a certain sadness: it has been like this throughout the ages, the joys and sorrows of life and death are just a wave in the long river of history, who can be an exception?
The following couplet is a description of mountaineering, which can also be seen as a footnote to the idea of the first couplet. The rivers and mountains leave traces of victory, and our generation will come again. There are countless places of interest left in this great mountain and river, and we climbed this mountain again today. The metabolism of the country and the passage of time. How many romantic characters are gone, but fortunately, they still leave behind broken monuments and stones, so that those of us who come after us can hang on to them.
The neck couplet is what the author saw from a distance while standing on the top of Da Hyeon. The water falls and the fish beam is shallow, and the weather is cold and the dream is deep. "The river has dried up, and a larger piece of Yuliangzhou has been exposed; And the vast Yunmengze, in the cold sky, is particularly far-reaching. The author's mind turns from the sadness of hanging Gu back to the real world, but what does he see? The vast water surface, the desolate sandbar, a bleak and lonely winter scene. What a frustrating time!
In the final couplet, the author's sadness reaches the extreme. The sheep monument is still there, and I am in tears after reading it. "The Yanggong Monument is still there, but after reading it, it brings tears to my eyes. Yang Gong refers to the famous general Yang Hu of the Western Jin Dynasty. Yanghu had great political achievements in Xiangyang, and after his death, the local people erected a monument to commemorate him in Da Xian Mountain, which is the Yanggong Monument. Faced with the relics left by this predecessor, the author finally could no longer hide his emotions and burst into tears.
Why is the author so sentimental?
Let's first look at a record in the Book of Jin: when Yanghu was in office, he once climbed Da Xian Mountain, and said to the people who traveled: "Since the universe, there is this mountain, the origin of the virtuous and victorious, climb this far away, such as me and the Qing are many, all annihilated and unheard, making people sad!" Compare the first couplet of this poem, "Personnel have metabolism, and exchanges become ancient and modern", is there a lot of similarities in thoughts and emotions?
However, in the end, Yanghu did not "disappear into obscurity". As a generation of famous generals, he has established immortal achievements, and the existence of Yanggong Monument is the best witness.
Now, can we understand the author's feelings? Why do you feel sorry for the changing history? Quietly crying at the Yanggong Monument? Just because he is a cloth cloth and has the heart to serve the country, but he has not been able to go out of office, he can't establish his achievements, so he can only live in seclusion in his hometown and spend his years empty. Perhaps, in the end, "oblivion oblivion". How unwilling and helpless this is for poets who aspire to establish immortal feats!
