Summer solar terms, appreciation of Sima Guang's Evening of June 18th.

The great summer on the evening of June 18.

Song Sima Guang

Old willow is noisy and desolate.

Human feelings suffer from the heat, so what if autumn is crisp?

Comb your hair before the wind when it rains cold water on the moon.

How to stay up late to pay tribute to the public?

translate

On the old willow tree, cicadas chirped; Fireflies lit up the night sky in the empty courtyard like meteors.

People's emotions suffer from the heat; Why does everything feel like autumn is coming?

Take a cold bath in the moonlight; Comb white hair before hot air.

How can I, a wise man like Zhen Feng, pack up and visit Prince Rainbow on such a night?

Make an appreciative comment

Sima Guang's summer poems are destined to belong to a politician's summer poems. These great politicians either don't do it or dominate the world. Cao Cao, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang are all such people, which are determined by their broad-mindedness and tolerance.

This summer's poem, with its ambition to make contributions, infects every reader. At the same time, the decline scene chosen by the poet reveals the inevitable law of the arrival of early autumn, shows the sigh of time flying and endless achievements, and is also profound and charming.

The first link, the old willow is noisy, and the wilderness is bright. The poet uses the metaphor of "old willow" to show that he is about to get old, but he has accomplished nothing. This word laid the low lyric tone of the whole poem. The word "sting" points out that summer is hot this season, and cicadas are the noisiest in summer. The next sentence, "barren courtyard" and "old willow" together create a lonely courtyard scene. "You" and "Yi" are good examples of natural phenomena in summer solar terms.

Zhuan Xu United, human feelings are suffering from the heat, how can we be surprised by the competition? Through the contrast between people and things, the mystery of nature is highlighted. People's emotions are still complaining about the heat in summer, but they don't know that everything has felt that autumn has come and is growing desperately. Because of the cold autumn wind, many lives will end. Including the old willows, cicadas, fireflies and other plants in the yard, are all singing and multiplying at the last minute, fearing the coming autumn. Neck band, cold water in the moon, white hair before the wind. The poet feels that time flies away from everything. After finishing one thing, he turns to himself and has nothing to do but take a cold bath in the moonlight and comb his white hair in front of the hot air. This sentence seems to write down all the sadness and sorrow that talents in heaven and earth have never met.

A really wonderful poem is like this, which makes people feel that objectivity brings subjectivity. Not sad, but sad every word. This kind of sadness has already surpassed the worry about the heat. This is an aspiring intellectual's complaint about his short life and lack of talent.

Just as Confucius treated material life, he only asked: food and vegetables, drinking water, and bending his arms to rest. Behind this extremely simplified material life is the persistent pursuit of spiritual abundance. If you don't cultivate yourself, you won't learn, if you don't learn, you won't move, and if you are not good, you won't change. Lack of spirit, which Confucius was troubled by. What bothers Sima Guang is by no means the heat, but the political ambition and ideal can not be realized.

Tail couplet, how to stay up late and tie a belt to pay tribute to the public. The last sentence is "half-lodger", but it is not wrong, because it is an allusion. The word "how" shows that the poet wants to make contributions, but suffers from the helplessness of no one to recommend himself. The poet borrowed allusions from Wang Mang and Zhen Feng, hoping to get the king's reuse and realize his ideal.

The whole poem is done in one go, with the precision of choosing objects and images, the profound beauty of images and the natural use of allusions, which undoubtedly makes it the most beautiful lyric poem in midsummer. Its artistic conception almost catches up with Cao Gong's short songs and Sima Guang's poetic talent, which shows this.

On a hot summer night, after reading this poem by Sima Guang, are you ashamed of your little feelings of "wanting home"? If you have integrity in your heart, you will naturally not be afraid of the heat. I hope I can change my mind and be a "night guest" with lofty aspirations.
