Remuneration Shaofu "Tang Dynasty Wang Wei

In his later years, he was quiet and didn't care about anything.

There is no long-term strategy for self-care, and the empty knowledge returns to the old forest.

The pine wind blows the belt, and the mountain and the moon shine on the piano.

Jun asks the poor and reasonable, and the fishing song enters the depths.

Wang Wei's "Reward Zhang Shaofu" is a gift poem, a poem written to his friend Zhang Shaofu. The word "reward" in the title of the poem is answered by poetry. Since it is a reward, it means that Zhang Shaofu first gave the poem Wang Wei, and then Wang Wei made this poem in return. "Zhang Shaofu" should be a friend of Wang Wei, whose life is unknown. "Shaofu" is another name for the official position of county lieutenant in the Tang Dynasty.

In this tribute poem, Wang Wei expresses his "good quiet" aspirations in his later years and the leisure of retreating to the "old forest", revealing disappointment, loss, and negative and depressed emotions in the tranquility of Daguan.

In his later years, he was only quiet, and he didn't care about everything", Shoulian said that he only liked to be quiet in his old age, and he was indifferent to the hustle and bustle of the world. "Good hào" is a hobby.

These two sentences give people a feeling of depression, and then read the couplet, you can see why the poet is so depressed, it is actually a helpless emotion that the poet's passion and ambition cannot be volatilized and unrealized.

There is no long-term strategy for self-care, and the empty knowledge returns to the old forest. He said that he had no good plan to serve the country, so he had to return to the "old forest" and retreat to the mountains. The original meaning of "long strategy" refers to a long bamboo tube, and it is often used as a metaphor for good plans. "Old forest" refers to the garden that used to be secluded.

Wang Wei's character is upright and weak, and he has long been influenced by Buddhist thought, and he is the kind of idealistic intellectual.

In his early years, he had ambitions and aspirations, and was hopeful about reality.

However, after Zhang Jiuling was framed and dismissed by Li Linfu and his gang, more loyal people were ostracized and attacked one after another, and Wang Wei's idealized world was suddenly shattered, and he was extremely disappointed with reality.

At this time, although Wang Wei was promoted, he was tormented by contradictions and depression. He didn't want to go along with Li Linfu and his gang, but he felt powerless. After thinking about it, the only way out is to get away from this place and return to the "old forest" to retreat.

Therefore, the first couplet's "only quiet in his later years, not caring about everything" truly reflects the poet's contradictory and depressed inner emotions at this time.

The pine wind blows the belt, and the mountain and the moon shine on the piano. The neck couplet writes about the joy of life after returning to the mountains and forests. "Untie" means wide undressing belt. "Pine Wind" and "Mountain Moon" both contain noble meanings in the eyes of the ancients. This couplet is a portrayal of hermits throughout the ages.

Wang Wei's secluded life and leisure taste are a manifestation of his spiritual liberation in the midst of depression. Between the lines of this tranquil and leisurely word, you can still read the melancholy and helplessness in the poet's heart.

Jun asks the poor and reasonable, and the fishing song enters the depths. "The tail couplet replied with no answer: If you ask me about poverty and the reason for being rich, then I have to sing a fishing song and go deep into the river. "Poor pass" means hardship and conspicuousness. This coupling is chewing on people, as if to say: The world is already like this, what kind of poverty and conspicuous reason do you ask, why don't you go into hiding with me?

This poem writes about the joy of seclusion in a relaxed tone, but it also reveals depression and depression everywhere. The language is subtle, intriguing, and thought-provoking.
