The Best Tang Poems by Meng Man: The Five Flavors of Life

I don't know how many people still have the grandiose feeling of "letting my heart be filled with Qin and Han, and dreaming of going back to the Tang Dynasty to paint peonies" in their hearts? As the saying goes, "If you know the 300 poems of Tang Dynasty well, you will be able to recite them even if you don't know how to compose them." The Tang Dynasty is a neon dance in the wind and smoke of the years, and she is a ray of flawless moonlight held between the sleeves of the poets. ...... Read a thousand times, a thousand times, it still warms the heart so much. Poetry is written by people and to people. The human life, from the vertical point of view, is spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons, corresponding to the person's youth, youth, middle age, old age; from the horizontal point of view, is the joy, anger, sadness, happiness and resentment of the five feelings. The beauty of Tang poems is that they are sentimental. When people have five emotions, they are alive. The poem has five feelings, the poem will be eternal.

When it comes to Meng Man, most people first think of the "Hundred Schools of Lecture" on the eloquent history scholars or "Chinese Poetry", "Chinese Idioms Congress" and other cultural programs in the love of wearing ethnic costumes, dashing humor, especially storytelling judges. Some people also highly praise Meng Man for his great contribution to the promotion of traditional Chinese culture. ...... However, Meng Mann commented on himself like this, "I'm just doing my own thing, and all my roles stem from the fact that I'm a teacher."

Well, that's enough of the author's introduction, then let's talk about the book "Meng Man Tasting the Most Beautiful Tang Poems: Five Flavors of Life". This book takes the five life emotions of joy, anger, sadness, happiness, and resentment as the starting point, and through interpreting more than thirty poems carefully included by the teacher, it connects the spiritual emotions of Tang poems with us in modern times, and shows us the never-failing vitality of Tang poems.

Joy

In China, there are four great joys in life, which are: "A long drought meets a sweet rain, and we meet an old friend in another country. The night of the flower candle in the bridal chamber, and the time of the gold list." It is often mocked that society is very simple, and the complexity is human. Poets are also people, their hearts are sensitive and rich, therefore, the joy will never just be happy, there will also be tears of joy, sadness and joy.

For example, Zhu Qingyu's song "near the test on Zhang Shui", the poem: the cave last night stopped the red candle, to be in front of the dawn worship aunt. The first thing you need to do is to ask your husband to do something about it, and then you'll have to do something about it. ShuiBu: can be understood as an official position, stop red candle: let the red candle lit all night. Stop: leave it on. Uncle and aunt: in-laws. The time is not the right time: whether it is fashionable or not. This is a metaphor for whether or not an article is appropriate. What does this mean? Last night, the candles in the bridal chamber were lit all night long, and today, before dawn, the bride is dressing up and waiting to meet her in-laws in front of the hall. After the bride fine painting, not assured, but also low to ask a husband beside me: you see me this eyebrow painting is deep or light, whether it is fashionable? Live portrayed a shy bride's demeanor. But is this poem just an expression of the joy of being married?

China has a tradition of comparing the relationship between men and women to the relationship between ruler and minister, and the relationship between superior and subordinate, starting from the Chu Shi (楚辞). A lifelong event, like a young girl getting married, is when a scholar takes an exam. The mood of a candidate facing an examiner is just like a bride meeting her in-laws, with tension and anticipation! It is self-evident that Zhu Qingyu's song "near the test on Zhang Shui Department" is such a warm roll of work.

Anger

Joy is an extremely positive mood, and anger is just the opposite of it. The ancient so-called heroes, there must be a person of the section, human feelings can not endure, the horseman see insults, pull out the sword and get up, stand up and fight, this is not enough for the courage. There are great courageous people in the world, and they are not surprised when they come to the scene. He will not be angry when he is attacked for no reason; this is a very big thing for him to hold, and his will is very far away. Throughout history, the so-called anger, is just these two cases, one is public anger, one is private anger, may be a different realm, but are genuine emotions, difficult to inhibit, out of the mouth into a poem. For example, Li Bai's "Hard to Walk", which is full of anger and bravado, reads: "The golden bottle of wine is worth 10,000 buckets, and the jade plate of treasures is worth 10,000 coins. I can't eat when I stop my cup and make chopsticks, and I look around with my sword drawn. I want to cross the Yellow River, the ice is blocking the river, and I will climb the snow-covered mountains in Taihang. I was idly fishing on the blue stream, and suddenly I was in a boat dreaming of the sun. The road is difficult! The road is difficult! Where are the many divergent paths? The long wind will break the waves sometimes, hanging straight from the cloud sails to help the sea. Doo 10,000: a doo is worth 10,000 yuan (10,000 yuan), the wine is beautiful and highly priced. The first is to make a statement about the value of a person's life.

"Hard to travel" is an old musical theme, talking about the road blockage, the world is difficult, but also about the pain of separation. Everyone knows that Li Bai is a person who likes to enjoy himself, he said: "Cooking sheep and slaughtering cows and for pleasure, will have to drink 300 cups." He also said, "I don't have time to worry about my life, but I will drink fine wine and climb high." Taibai loved food, and he loved wine even more. As long as there is wine and meat, he can be happy, can be bold. But now, in the face of the "golden bottle of wine bucket ten thousand, jade plate of precious shame straight ten thousand money", Li Bai actually did not as usual, "a cup of a cup again", not "after the wine to compete in style, three cups to get the sword! "No drinking, no drunkenness, on the contrary," stop the cup and throw the chopsticks can not eat, draw the sword and look around the heart of the blank," too incredible!

The poem was written after Li Bai was released by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the so-called "roc one day with the wind, rocking up 90,000 miles" has become a joke, "so that the world area is determined, the sea county clear a" political ideals even more into a bubble. Heroes lose their way, no door to serve the country! Li Bai did not directly say that the world road is difficult, but said "want to cross the Yellow River ice plug river, will climb the Taihang snow filled mountains", want to cross the Yellow River, ice to the river plugged; want to cross the Taihang, the snow and the mountains closed. The Yellow River and Taihang, is a big mountain and a big river, is also the road, is the poet's ideal; and ice and snow, is a strong resistance, is the cold reality, ice plug river, snow filled mountains such imagery out, even we feel the bone-chilling cold. It is this bone-chilling cold, a huge disappointment that makes the poet "stop the cup and throw the chopsticks can not eat, pull out the sword and look around the heart of the blank"!

Li Bai is, after all, the poet Li Bai, the pain will not let it sink, but only inspire him to a stronger fighting spirit! So, he turned his attention to Jiang Taigong and Yi Yin, "idle fishing on the Bixi River, suddenly back in the boat dreaming of the sun." Courage is gained from the life experiences of the ancients, who had difficulties first and then gained, suffering first and then sweetness. However, from the ideal back to reality, the confusion of the future again comes to mind. "The road is difficult! It is difficult to walk the road! Where are the many divergent paths?" The apprehensive heart is beating faster and faster, let the storm come more violent!

The young man Zongcourt replied, "I wish to ride the long wind and break the waves", which inspired Li Bai to cry, "The long wind will break the waves sometimes, and hang on to the clouds and sails to help the sea." The first time I saw him, he said, "I was born to be useful", and it inspired the strugglers from generation to generation.

Sorrow

The premise of anger is injustice, while the premise of sorrow is pity. Mourning is always directed at tragedies large and small, some belonging to the country, some belonging to the individual. In the history of the Tang Dynasty, there was a great tragedy called the An Shi Rebellion, which was the turning point of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline. In this great tragedy, there is a small tragedy called Mawei, which is the turning point of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei from love to death. In the long river of history, this tragedy is just an instant cross-section, but in the poet's mind, it has become so deep and bottomless a hollow, holding endless sighs and memories, also holding endless feelings and sorrow.

Talking about "the change of Mawei", people will automatically associated with Bai Juyi's "Song of Eternal Hatred", but do not know on the artistic achievement and depth of thought, Li Shangyin's "Mawei" is better than blue than blue, and not at all lose to the "Song of Eternal Hatred". Poetry: Overseas in vain heard of more nine states, other life is undecided this life rest. The tiger's brigade is heard to watchman's watch in the night, and there are no more chickens to report the dawn. This day, the six armies were stationed together, and at that time, they laughed and pulled cows on the eve of Tanabata. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world.

In The Song of Eternal Hatred, Bai Juyi wrote: "I suddenly heard that there are immortal mountains on the sea, and the mountains are in the void." In this fairy world far from the earth, Yang Guifei continued to live, she never forgot Tang Xuanzong, also never forget the two will be born for the couple's vows, she let the Taoist priests to bring the year of love token to Tang Xuanzong, and also said, "but teach the heart like a golden tin firm, the sky and the world will meet," this is how beautiful the hope ah. Li Shangyin only used the words "heard in vain" to break this fantasy. He said, "Overseas in vain, I hear of more nine states, and I have no idea of what will happen in my other life." The so-called overseas there are nine states, beyond the world there are immortals is only a kind of illusory legend, how the next life, no one knows, but in this life, Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei's destiny has been exhausted! Some people would rather live in a false world than face the cruelty of reality! A "other life is not known this life rest", hard to pull people back to reality!

"I hear the tiger's brigade calling the night watchman, and there are no more chickens to report the dawn." Only heard the guards of the forbidden army knocking the night watchman to play the night watchman, but no more officials to send in the dawn of the more chips, the night before the Mawei bloodshed quietly opened the curtain.

Jiangshan is as picturesque as your eyes, and the mountains and rivers are not as beautiful as your smile. "This day, the six armies are stationed on the same horse, at that time, the Tanabata smile pulling ox." The fact is that the company has been able to provide a lot of services to its customers, but the company has been able to provide a lot of services to its customers! Life sometimes, always very ironic.

"How four centuries for the son of heaven, less than the Lu family have Mo Chou!" Tang Xuanzong as a ruler of the Great Tang more than forty years of peace, why can not protect the consort, how he is not as good as an ordinary Lu Lang, but also with his wife Mo Chou lifelong together! Mo Chou Mo Chou, who wouldn't want to? However, in real life, the helpless emperor, the short-lived concubine, and the life of the poet, who can not be sad?

Joy

Every person has a youth, behind every youth there is a story, love at first sight is probably the first time you see you, you want to have a story with you.

In the heavyweight poets of the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi is described as a delicate mind, a down-to-earth vision, and the highest degree of living. Therefore, although he was not necessarily the best in writing about famous mountains and rivers, he was the best in writing about daily life and women, and portrayed many classic female figures. For example, the poem "Picking Lotus" reads: "The lotus leaves haunt the waves and the lotus floats in the wind, and a small boat passes in the depths of the lotus blossoms. When I met the groom, I smiled down, and Jasper scratched her head and fell into the water."

"Ling leaves haunting the waves of the lotus floating wind" describes the two plants in the lotus pond in the appearance of high and low. In the summer lotus pond, the floating lozenge leaves, pavilion lotus leaves, a up and down, deep and shallow green, very hierarchical; a breeze, the water surface ripples, the water waves encountered the lozenge leaves, the formation of ripples; lozenges encountered the water waves, drifting. There is movement in the stillness, and there is stillness in the movement, and there is a combination of movement and stillness.

"Lotus deep boat through", imagine, "the sky lotus leaves infinite blue, reflecting the sun lotus flowers red" such a magnificent scene suddenly from the lotus leaves out of a boat, the boat also stood thought graceful young girl, such a picture is not The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money.

"The jasper scratched its head and fell into the water." The simple and shy peasant girl saw the flamboyant young man, the two eyes overlap that moment a small accident occurred, perhaps the lotus picking girl could not restrain the inner excitement, bowed her head with a smile, panicked in the jade hairpin fell into the water.

Oops, it's the feeling of a heartbeat! Time can't take away my memories, what it takes away are the traces of a former heartbeat.

Complaints

Beauty complains about not being favored, talent complains about not being used. Love and career, originally is the human *** with the pursuit, only because of the gender division of labor in ancient society, love has become the cause of women, and the cause has become the love of men. Female love is frustrated, there will be a girl's grudge, then, male career frustration, and will produce what kind of mood? Well, let's look at Liu Zongyuan's "Ascending the Liuzhou City Tower to send Zhangting Fenglian four states assassins," the poem: "The city on the high building connected to the Great Wilderness, the sea and the sky are confused with sad thoughts. The winds are blowing in the hibiscus water, and the rain is invading the wall of Ficus Lili. Ridge tree heavy cover thousands of miles of eyes, the river curved like nine back intestines. ***The first time I saw this is when I was a kid, and it was a very good time for me.

The city on the high building connected to the great wilderness, the sea and the sky sadness is vast." In ancient China, climbing up a building is an important imagery in itself, it often means trying to get rid of inner bitterness, but the result is even more bitter. The poet came to the barbaric land of Lingnan, his heart was troubled, and he could not help but want to climb the stairs to relieve his boredom. As a result, see the surrounding boundless desolation, associated with their own life can not see the future, the accumulation of sadness not only did not dissolve, but instead rushed out, filled the sea and the sky, which is the "sea and sky sadness is vast".

"The wind is blowing in the hibiscus water, and the rain is invading the walls of Ficus Lili." Liuzhou belongs to the south of the ridge, was more wind and rain, the poet climbed the stairs at the time, the wind and rain. Just see the wind sweeping through the lotus pond, water waves rolling, lotus messy; and see the rainstorm with the wind slanting down, such as a whip like lashing climbed full of Ficus lycii wall.

Qu Yuan's "Li Sao" said, "The system of the water lotus as clothing, set hibiscus as clothing." Another cloud: "lead along the roots of wood to knots of precious commodities, through the Ficus fell stamen." Hibiscus and Ficus, symbolizing the beauty and purity of personality. Hibiscus out of the water, what obstacles to the wind, and the wind to sway; Ficus over the wall, what obstacles to the rain, and the rain is inclined to invade. Rain across the wind crazy, the red fade green, let the people how to be embarrassed?

The trees of the ridge are heavy and cover thousands of miles of eyes, and the river flows like nine back to the intestines." Look up and see the heavy range of mountains, dense forests, blocking the eyes of a thousand miles; look down and see the river rolling, winding, like nine back of the intestines. Whether looking up or down, whether by water or by land, we could not see our friends. The poet suffered this disaster, the old drift, and not "intestine one day and nine times" it! Read here, this situation, more feel the sadness.

This is a cruel world, it shaped your character, and to smooth your edges!

It's a cruel world.
