Poetry has an appointment, and No. 1 Poetry Lane welcomes everyone's arrival.
In this earthly world, the most helpless thing is the aging of life.
So, what is it that always makes people grow old so easily?
Some say it's time, some say it's lovesickness, and some say it's the trivial ...... in life.
Obviously, these are the correct answers.
We are in the red dust, and everyone experiences a different life and destiny, so the understanding generated in our hearts is also different.
Li Bai: The white hair is 3,000 zhang, and the fate is like a long one;
Jiang Jie: Streamers are easy to throw people away. red cherries, green plantains;
Liu Guo: If you want to buy osmanthus and carry wine, it will not be the same in the end, and you will travel as a teenager;
One sentence after another, every sentence pierces people's hearts.
Regardless of fame, it aims to share great beauty; In this issue, Poetry Lane would like to share with you a poem by a Qing Dynasty poet.
This poem uses four sentences to write the helplessness and bitterness of life that is easy to grow old, and the last two sentences are especially classic.
Title Hotel
Qing Wang Jiuling
Xiaojue's thatched eaves are low in the moon, and the dream of the country is vaguely lost.
What is it in the world that makes people grow old? Half chicken, half horseshoe.
Wang Jiuling, Ziwu, a native of Huating, Jiangnan, born in an unknown year, was a jinshi in the twenty-first year of Kangxi (1682 AD). He is the author of five volumes of the Aina Mountain House Collection, and the "Four Libraries General" and Songxi Words have been passed down to the world.
This poem "Theme Hotel" was written by Wang Jiuling during his detention and travel, and the style is vicissitudes and bleak.
The poem begins with a landscape copy:Xiaojue's thatched eaves are low in the moon；When the Buddha woke up, he saw a moon hanging low on the eaves.
The poem begins with a landscape copy:Xiaojue's thatched eaves are low in the moon；When the Buddha woke up, he saw a moon hanging low on the eaves.
I have to say that the same objects and scenes, when they appear in ancient poems, have a different kind of charm. Whether it is dull or bright, it will make people feel the endless beauty of art.
The author uses a simple sentence to portray what he saw when he first woke up. This picture in the first sentence has become extremely quiet because of the addition of "moon", and it is also particularly simple because of the collocation of "thatched eaves".
In addition, from the description of the first sentence, we can also get a message: that is, the author wakes up very early in the morning.
And the outpouring of this information naturally plays a role in laying the foundation for the output of the later text and the expression of the theme of the poem.
Cheng Ju did not continue to write the scene, but wrote about the author's dream:vaguely lost in the dream of the country；In my sleep, "I" vaguely dreamed of my hometown.
There is a saying that the poem is "pertinent", so from this point of view, the sentence can be said to point out the topic in an indirect and implicit way.
"Lost in the Dream of the Country", which fully explains the author's identity as a wanderer and tells us the cruel reality that he is in a foreign land. Therefore, the "hotel" in the title is equivalent to being explained here.
In terms of content, the phenomenon of "hometown" appearing in the author's dream fully reflects the author's longing for his hometown.
Therefore, when there is the expression of the meaning of "homesickness", the vicissitudes and desolation in the poem are also presented, and at the same time, the loneliness and loneliness in the author's heart are also visible to us.
What is it in the world that makes people grow old? Half chicken, half horseshoe. ；What is it in this world that makes people grow old? Half of it was the sound of chickens, and half of it was the hooves of horses.
These two sentences are the author's comprehension of life, and they are also his overall summary of his life and career, which can be described as sharp and classic.
In the author's opinion, it is not something else that makes people grow old, but precisely the sound of chickens and horses' hooves. Although we are not involved in the author's life, we cannot really experience his inner feelings.
However, we can fully empathize, and then we can fully understand the author and recognize the classics of the last two sentences.
The "rooster voice" represents every dawn, and what is emphasized is every early rise of the author.
The "horseshoe" represents every journey, emphasizing every trek of the author.
So combining these two objects, what we know is the hardships and difficulties of the author's wandering career.
In the cycle of "chickens" and "horses' hooves", the author's life continues day by day, and the author's life grows old day by day.
The helplessness and bitterness in it do not need to be explained in words, they are all fully manifested in the pen.
Reading the last two sentences of the poem, we also further see the lonely and vicissitudes of the author's image of getting up early and greedy for darkness and running around in other places day after day, and we also further feel the infinite longing for his hometown in his heart.
The poem ends in such a narrative and discussion language, leaving the bleak picture and charm, and the profound reason and meaning to the reader, which makes people feel unsettled for a long time after reading.
It is difficult to keep the green sideburns in life, and the sound of horses and chickens is coming and going; After reading a poem, I felt a lot of feelings. I wonder what you think? The comment area is over to everyone.
chase ancient poems and read and write to the end; If you like it, please pay attention to No. 1 Poetry Lane, and we will move forward together.
