What's the difference between a song blown by the autumn wind and the emotion expressed upstairs?

Brief introduction of du fu

Du Fu (A.D. 7 12-770), Han nationality, was born in Gongxian County, Henan Province (now Gongyi, Zhengzhou). He is called He Du. In the world, his own name is Shao Ling Ye Lao. He was a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, who died young for the country and the people. He was a poet saint and a world cultural celebrity, and was also called "Du Li" with Li Bai. Du Fu's ancestral home is Xiangyang (now Xiangfan City, Hubei Province). His distant ancestor is Du Yu, a famous poet in the Jin Dynasty, and his ancestor is Du Yu, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty. Du Fu himself was born in Gongxian County, Henan Province (now Gongyi, Zhengzhou). Du Fu was originally Zuo Shiyi and Yuan Wailang, and later he was called Du Shiyi and Du Gongbu. Du Fu lived in the historical period from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty, and his poems mostly involved social unrest, political darkness and people's sufferings. His poems are called "the history of poetry". Du Fu was concerned about the country and the people, with noble personality and exquisite poetic skills, and was called "Poet Saint" by later gods. Du Fu wrote more than 1400 poems in his life, many of which are famous works that have been handed down through the ages, such as Three Officials, Three Farewells and Du Gongbu Collection. Among them, the "three officials" are Shi Haoguan, Xin 'an official and Tongguan official, and the "three farewell" are newly married, homeless and resigned. Du Fu's poems have a far-reaching influence on later generations.

Du Fu is good at using many systems of classical poetry and creatively developing them. He is the pioneer of the new Yuefu poetry style. His Yuefu poems contributed to the development of the new Yuefu movement in the middle Tang Dynasty. His "May 7th" ancient novel, which is also a history of poetry, begins to narrate and focus on the whole story, marking the high achievement of China's poetry art. Du Fu also showed extraordinary creativity in the May 7th law, and accumulated complete artistic experience in the aspects of temperament, antithesis, refining words and sentences, which made this genre reach a fully mature stage.

Du fu's thought

The core of Du Fu's thought is the Confucian thought of benevolent government. He has a great ambition of "making the monarch Yao and Shun superior first, and then making the customs pure". He loves life, people and the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. He hated evil, criticized and exposed the corruption of the imperial court and the dark phenomenon in social life. He sympathized with the people and even fantasized that he was willing to make self-sacrifice to save their suffering. Therefore, his poetry creation always runs through the main line of worrying about the country and the people, with the most ordinary people as the protagonist, which shows Du Fu's greatness. His poems are rich in social content, rich in the color of the times and distinctive in political inclination, which truly and profoundly reflect the political current affairs and broad social life prospect of a historical era before and after the An Shi Rebellion, and are called the "history of poetry" of a generation. The style of Du Fu's poems is basically "gloomy and frustrated", and the language and text structure are full of changes, emphasizing the refinement of words and sentences. At the same time, his poems have many styles. Besides the five ancient poems, the seven ancient poems, the five laws and the seven laws, he also wrote many lines. There are also various artistic techniques, which are the epitome of the ideological art of Tang poetry. Du Fu also inherited the spirit of Yuefu in Han and Wei Dynasties, got rid of the shackles of the ancient Yuefu themes and created many new Yuefu themes, such as the famous Three Officials and Three Farewells. After his death, he was highly praised by Huang Fan, Han Yu, Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi. Du Fu's poems had a far-reaching influence on Bai Yuan's literary thought of "New Yuefu Movement" and Li Shangyin's near-body allegorical current affairs poems. However, Du Fu's poems were widely valued after the Song Dynasty. Yu Wang, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Lu You and others highly praised Du Fu, while Wen Tianxiang regarded Du Fu's poems as a spiritual force to adhere to national integrity. The influence of Du Fu's poems, from ancient times to the present, has long gone beyond the scope of literature and art. For details of his life, see Old Tang Book 190.

Three officials and three parting

Three Officials and Three Farewells are the representative works of Du Fu's realistic poems. It truly describes the thoughts, feelings, actions and language of county officials, customs officials, old women, old people, brides, husbands and others in a specific environment, vividly reflects the social reality of that period and the profound disasters and pains of working people, and shows people tragic life tragedies. In these descriptions of life sufferings, on the one hand, the poet has deep sympathy for the people who have suffered greatly, and hates the enslavement and persecution of the people by officials; On the other hand, he supported the counter-insurgency war of the dynasty and hoped that the people would suffer hardships and cooperate with the dynasty to put down the rebellion. This complex and contradictory thought accords with the poet's thought of worrying about the country and the people.

Du Fu's Caotang, near Huanhuaxi in the western suburbs of Chengdu, is the residence of Du Fu after he arrived in Chengdu.

In the fourth year of Tang Dynasty (769), Du Fu entered Hunan from Hubei, climbed Yueyang Tower, swam Dongting Lake, went up Xiangjiang River and reached Leiyang, and died in April of the following year. According to the Biography of Old Tang Fu, Du Fu visited Yue Temple in Leiyang and was buried in Du Fu's tomb. "When the flood reached its peak, he was not allowed to eat for ten days. The county magistrate gave him beef and white wine, so he drank too much and died overnight."

Du fu's life

Du Fu's experience and poetry creation can be divided into four periods:

First, the roaming period of reading (before the age of 35)

The so-called "dissolute Zhao Qi, Qiu Ma is quite sober and crazy".

In the 19th year of Kaiyuan (at the age of 20), I started roaming in wuyue and returned to Luoyang five years later. This is the first time. Roaming Zhao Qi again. After meeting Li Bai in Luoyang, they formed a profound friendship, then met Gao Shi and traveled with Liang and Song (now Kaifeng and Shangqiu). Later, Du Li went to Jizhou again, met at the east foot after breaking up, and separated again, so there was no chance to meet again.

Second, trapped in Chang' an period (35 to 44 years old)

During this period, Du Fu took the exam in Chang 'an for the first time and came last. Later, he presented gifts to the emperor and presented them to the nobles. He lived a life of "grabbing the rich door in the morning, catching the fat horse dust in the evening, throwing a cup and baking it cold, hiding sadness everywhere". Finally, I got a small official who led Cao Youwei to join the army (mainly guarding the soldiers' weapons and the keys to the treasury). During this period, he wrote poems such as "Car Shop" and "Two Ways", criticizing current politics and satirizing dignitaries. The book "Singing 500 Words from Beijing to Fengxian" is particularly famous, which indicates that his understanding of the political and social reality of the imperial court has reached a new height after ten years of hard life in Chang 'an.

Third, the period of being trapped as a thief (45 to 48 years old)

When the Anshi Rebellion broke out and Tongguan fell, Du Fu settled in Zhangzhou and went to Suzong alone. He was captured by the Anshi Rebellion and taken to Chang 'an. In the face of chaos in Chang 'an, he heard the news that the loyalist troops were repeatedly defeated, and wrote poems such as Moonlit Night, Spring Hope, Ai Jiangtou and Sad Chen Tao. Later, he fled to Fengxiang to cheat and made a collection. Because of his advice, Shangshu was demoted to prime minister of joining the army. (Fang Shu is a typical intellectual, but unrealistic. He fought against the rebels and adopted the Spring and Autumn Array, which resulted in a crushing defeat. Du Fu began to tidy up Zuo's remains. He said Fang was innocent. He was angry and wanted to find fault. Later, he recorded his experiences in the form of poems and became his immortal works, namely "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells".

Three officials: Shi Haoguan, Xin 'an official and Tongguan official; "Three Farewells" means "Wedding Farewells", "Homelessness" and "Farewell the Old and Welcome the New".

Four, southwest drift period (48 to 58 years old)

With the collapse of Xiangzhou loyalist and the famine of Guanfu, Du Fu abandoned his official and fled with his family, passing through Qin Zhou and Tonggu, and lived a relatively stable life in Chengdu. When he entered the DPRK, the warlord in the middle of Shu rebelled and he went to Zizhou and Langzhou. After Yanwu filmed "Our Times" as a blog in Chengdu, Du Fu voted and Yanwu died. He drifted again, lived in Kuizhou for two years, drifted to Hubei and Hunan, and died on the Xiangjiang River. The works of this period include Heart on the Water Threshold, Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night, Autumn Wind Breaking the Cottage, Sick Orange, Climbing the Building, Book Reading, The Yellow River was recaptured by the imperial army, Showing Wu Lang again, Ascending the Mountain, Qiu Xing, Three Jueju and Sui Yanxing. Among them, the most famous poem in "The Hut is Blown by Autumn Wind" is: There are tens of millions of spacious buildings in Ande, and the poor in the world are happy.

Historical biography

Humanistic spirit in Tang poetry

China is a country of poetry, and classical poetry is the essence of China traditional culture. In China's classical literature, poetry has the highest achievement and the greatest influence, which can best represent the characteristics of our national literature in China. China literati attach great importance to "poetry". The ancients said that "a coarse coat is wrapped in a lifetime, and the stomach is full of poems and books", which means that even an ordinary person wearing coarse cloth or homespun will be extraordinary because he has read poems and books. This not only expresses the confidence of China traditional literati in their rich knowledge, but also shows the significance of gorgeous poems to personality cultivation. As we all know, the Tang Dynasty was a charming and powerful dynasty and a golden age in the history of China. Tang poetry represents the acme of poetry and is the most brilliant literary classic in the most glorious historical period. We often say that the active vitality in Tang poetry comes not only from the national strength, openness and other times, but also from the enlightened and advanced political culture. The prosperity of Tang poetry is closely related to the imperial examination, the great rise of the status of ancient scholars in China since the Han and Wei Dynasties, and the admiration of poetry, humanity and beauty in the whole society. This is a symbol of the revival of Chinese culture and the pride of our Chinese nation. We say that Tang poetry also contains the endless humanistic spirit of our nation. Today I'm talking about the humanistic spirit in Tang poetry.

1. humanistic spirit If people present here are concerned about this topic, you can recall that a very fashionable word called humanistic spirit was discussed in Chinese academic circles a few years ago. It can be said that it is not only academic circles, but also literary circles in our university campus and society. So what is human nature? What is humanistic spirit? After that period of discussion, there was actually no idea. Many people have expressed their views, but not much has been achieved. There are not many really influential philosophical thoughts and vivid things. This is a pity for us to discuss the humanistic spirit. So what is humanistic spirit? We say that humanistic spirit is the universal self-care of human beings, which is manifested in the maintenance, pursuit and care of human dignity, value and destiny, the great attention to various spiritual and cultural phenomena left over by human beings, and the affirmation and shaping of the ideal personality of all-round development. According to my understanding of this tradition, the so-called humanistic spirit simply emphasizes how to improve people's problems. The ancients said, "Save three times a day and be unfaithful to others." Don't believe in making friends? Can't you learn? "Modern people said," a person's ability is great and small, but as long as he has this spirit, he is a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is free from low tastes and beneficial to the people. "Wait, these are all about how to improve people. This is not just a trend of thought that limits the humanistic spirit to the so-called Renaissance in the West. It can be said that as long as human beings exist for one day, they will not stop thinking and grasping their own destiny. We know that humanism in history can usually be traced back to the Renaissance in Europe. However, the Renaissance certainly improved the humanistic spirit, but its humanistic spirit was mainly based on rationality. The promotion of rationality has gradually promoted the development of science, making people pay more and more attention to and believe in science, thus forming the so-called scientism. Furthermore, humanities and sociology are required to follow the example of science and become science. The end result of this is that since modern times, scientism has taken human nature seriously, thinking that people are just the synthesis of DNA, and what they can be like. Or think that people are just a container of DNA. Don't think you are great. The fate of personality, the success or failure of life and death, has long been decided. People's struggle becomes futile and their value becomes low. It is this scientific arrogance, coupled with the materialized wave of consumerism. Non-economic and social factors such as humanities, education, environmental protection and morality are constantly marginalized. In our universities, the humanities, which focus on imparting humanistic spirit, are threatened not only by bottom-up utilitarianism, but also by top-down specialization, and are constantly marginalized. This shows that in most people's minds, humanistic spirit is a big and insignificant thing.

I can make you think about such a question here. From primitive human society to modern times, our natural science has made great progress, and it is still in the process of rapid development. However, the humanities with humanistic spirit as the core cannot be said to have taken the same road of courage. So, what do we think of humanistic spirit in our society? In the primitive society without the so-called developed material civilization of modern society, according to its certain interpersonal relationship or social system, we say that human life can still be carried out. On the other hand, if the relationship between people agreed by human nature is removed, it can be said that even in today's highly developed natural science, our society will collapse immediately. Therefore, the traditional morality such as benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith advocated by humanistic spirit has eternal value to social development. In the pursuit of tomorrow's development and eternal humanity, mankind will always have to move forward. For a country, we often say that "we will be beaten if we fall behind". We are beaten only when science and technology are backward. What should we do if our culture is backward? What will happen to us? It can be said that whenever a country is strong, it has its inherent cultural traditions at work, which is a deep-seated reason and easy to be ignored, but it is actually the most important because it can determine the temperament and connotation of a nation. The rapid rise of Germany and Japan after World War II has its own foundation and the help of the United States, but the most important thing is that their national temperament determined by their cultural connotations has played a profound role. China's 5,000-year-old traditional culture is its endless vitality. However, we say that any good traditional culture needs to be inherited so as not to die out.

Because of this, we should understand that the educational goal of comprehensive universities is not only to develop rationality, but also to cultivate human nature. Its task is to make its graduates become high-quality people and cultivate the personality and intellectual aristocrats that our society needs, that is, intellectuals and elites that our country often says. In this way, we can't just take the career path as the educational goal, or just study for a special utilitarian purpose. For example, liberal arts education advocated by westerners,1In the middle of the 9th century, there was a great British educator named Newman. When he became the president of the university, he said: what is a real university education, not a professional education, not a technical education, but a liberal arts education; The ideal of a university is to sublimate the spirit and character of every undergraduate to the height of liberal arts; Such a person comes out, first of all, his mental health. Newman put it this way: Universities do not train politicians, writers or engineers. Universities should first cultivate students' souls, that is, to have a complete personality at the height of liberal arts. For this person, such integrity means health, a healthy person can do anything, and it is easier for a person with a sound soul to do anything. In ancient China, there has long been a saying that "a gentleman is useless". Confucius said, "A gentleman is not like a vessel, which has only one purpose.". At that time, ships were highly specialized. As far as wine utensils are concerned, those who hold wine, those who warm wine, those who drink ice wine and those who drink wine are all different. Confucius believes that a gentleman should not be like a vessel, but has only one purpose. A gentleman is a person with ideal personality in Confucius' mind, and should shoulder the heavy responsibility of governing the country and safeguarding the country. Able to properly handle various internal government affairs; External can deal with the quartet, life-saving. Therefore, Confucius said that a gentleman should be knowledgeable and versatile, not limited to one aspect. So he can see the overall situation, lead the overall situation and become a qualified leader. This idea still has some advantages today. Or "swimming in art" Swimming is a swimming tour, not a game tour. Here, pay special attention. The game swims next to "Ji", and here is a swimming tour by the water. The art of "swimming in art" includes six arts: ritual, music, archery, imperial art, calligraphy and mathematics. Confucius' education in that year was mainly based on six arts. In modern times, "ceremony" includes all cultures of philosophy, politics, education and society. As for modern art, dance, drama, music, art and so on all belong to music. " Shooting ",military and martial arts. It used to be said that archery with a bow was equivalent to modern shooting, fighting, sports and so on. "Empire", driving, in modern times, of course, also includes flying planes and spaceships. "Book", literature and history. "Number" refers to science. The cultivation of talents and the enrichment of life should be based on the six arts. So, how do social universities cultivate human nature today? Hutchins, a western scholar, believes that any university should have "eternal disciplines". First, there must be subjects related to classical language and literature, and the way of learning is to read classical works. Another kind, which can be called "intellectual course", mainly includes grammar, rhetoric, logic, mathematics and other subjects with eternal content. The above is our general understanding of humanistic spirit and humanity.

Second, the humanistic spirit in Tang poetry

Based on the above general understanding of humanistic spirit, the humanistic spirit in Tang poetry is not so empty and profound. Here I mainly talk about two well-known Tang poems.

(1) Self-confidence. Transcend and pursue the meaning of life.

Then, in our Tang poems, how do poets express their thoughts on the destination of life? Here, let's talk about a well-known Tang poem, Wang Zhihuan's "Heron House": "The mountains cover the daytime, and the sea drains the golden river. But as long as you go up a flight of stairs, you can broaden your horizons by 300 miles. " We say that this poem has been passed down through the ages, but what is its enduring charm? I think it is precisely because this poem expresses the poet's strong enterprising spirit and unremitting pursuit in the face of such a vast picture that runs during the day and rivers and seas run. In his view, the meaning of life is to keep climbing, but you can broaden your horizons by going up a flight of stairs for 300 miles. We usually say that there are two levels of experience of life: our objective physical existence is physical experience; Subjective psychological existence is spiritual experience; Where are our bodies? This is not a problem. Where is our spirit? Do our minds and bodies coexist? Why do you see it? It can be said that this problem has been puzzling mankind. We say that the law of life is to meet the needs of the body, while the pursuit of art is to meet the needs of the spirit. In our known human life, religion is unique because it points to the eternal satisfaction of body and spirit. What does Wen Yiduo mean when he says that Zhuangzi expresses "Hakka homesickness"? The word home, for those of us who have families, although we consume it every day, in fact, we seldom care about its spiritual connotation-that is, the destination of life. In other words, philosophers seek spiritual home and the ultimate meaning of survival. There is a cloud in the Tang Dynasty: "Who has seen the moon by the river? When did Jiang Yue take the photo at the beginning of the year? Life is endless from generation to generation, and Jiangyue is only similar every year. " The poet believes that although individual life is fleeting, human existence is long. Time and space are infinite, so is life. Therefore, since people left their mother's body, the first thing they faced was this kind of self-confusion from infinite time and space experience. Where is the land I come from? Where are you going? Who was I before? Who is me after me? Why isn't he me? Why am I not him? These may be questions that natural science and data notes cannot answer. In this Tang poem, it is precisely because of the hardship and transcendence of climbing stairs and the pleasure and truth of watching the scenery that we can most vividly describe the double experience of living just now, thus stimulating people's desire to pursue eternal satisfaction. We say that only by waiting can we make a difference, and only by pursuing can we finally achieve our dreams. If everything in nature can still strive for self-improvement, then how can human beings, as the spirit of everything, be willing to run aground and stop?

We say that the spirit of the times in Tang poetry is positive and enterprising, and we say that the romantic temperament of enthusiasm and boldness is the most important feature of Tang poetry, especially in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Lin Geng, a poet, called them "the weather of the prosperous Tang Dynasty" and said that they showed "vigorous vitality and youthful melody". This actually means that they show a positive and enterprising spirit of the times. In Tang poetry, we can often read: "The desert is lonely and straight, and the long river sets the yen." Read: "The moon in the Qin Dynasty was closed in the Han Dynasty, but the Long March people did not return it." Read: "Flying down three thousands of feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days." Reading: "Why don't men take Wu Gou? Fifty States of Guanshan. " Such gorgeous sentences and so on. , all give us strong emotional impact and shock in time and space span. We say that this sense of time and space, spiritual tolerance and political, economic, military and cultural consciousness at that time reflect each other, forming a vibrant psychology of the times. So we say that the world of Tang poetry is very big, full of strength and heroic spirit. In the Tang poetry, we see not only the vast rivers, lakes and seas, but also the broader Wan Li sky and the broadest people's hearts. Tang poetry makes your mood more open, your temperament more open-minded and your life more profound. Understanding life from Tang poetry. So as to satisfy people's eternal spiritual pursuit. That's what we mean when we say that poetry can cultivate temperament.

(2) compassion. Humanitarian spirit of love, benevolence, love and humanity

Mr. Ma Yifu thinks that "poetry is based on emotion, which makes people feel better", and says that "the reason why this heart can feel is that it is also a benevolent person", such as waking up from a dream, rising as a servant, and being the mother of the sick, which means that prosperity is also a benevolent person. Later, Professor Ye Jiaying said that this is the most beautiful definition of poetry. Poetry is the awakening of people's hearts and sympathy. Perhaps, this statement is still abstract, and it is difficult for everyone to understand. Now let's take the appreciation of a poem as an example, such as Meng Haoran's "Spring Dawn" and "I wake up easily on this morning in spring". This is how the poet feels when he wakes up. Spring was warm and full of dreams, and he didn't even notice that it was dawn. So who awakened the poet? The second sentence is "Birds are singing everywhere around me". This is about listening. The so-called "everywhere" is slightly like what is written in "Poem Swallow": "Swallow flies, and the sound is on it." In other words, far, near, high and low, birds are singing everywhere, just like a beautiful artistic conception surrounded by music. Here, we know that birds crow to announce dawn, and then we know that birds crow to announce sunny days. The sweetness of spring sleep and the sweetness of spring sound have brought infinite pleasure to the poet, which makes people like it, and likes the rotten spring that grows like flowers and flies. Since you love, you must know compassion. In the traditional society of China, the word "I love you" appeared very late, probably influenced by the West. Its core meaning is "possession", yours is mine, mine is mine or mine. In China, when the ancients wanted to express similar feelings, they usually said "pity". For example, we often say "cherish the fragrance and cherish the jade". Its core meaning is not "possession" but "giving". "For my heart, for your heart, we will know each other and remember each other deeply." "Ask what the world is like and teach life and death!" This poem expresses the poet's mental journey from loving spring to cherishing spring. Last night, we saw the poet associate birdsong with the sound of wind and rain. It turned out that the misty spring rain made the poet worry about flowers and trees, which led to the excitement and emotion we just mentioned. "But now I remember that night, that storm" is a kind of memory, "and I want to know how many flowers were broken" is an understanding. The sound of wind and rain at night only disturbed my warm dream for a short time, but I don't know how many flowers fell in the wind and rain. The poet thought of "I don't know how many flowers have been folded", and this moment is the awakening of sympathy. So what did the poet think from the withering of flowers? He didn't go on, and there is no need to go on, leaving us with infinite imagination and infinite charm, or a few words have successfully brought us into his feelings. We may think that "flowers can be folded straight, and there is no need to wait for flowers to be empty." I thought, "the heart of spring is in love. Even this bright flame of love is only ashes?" "The thought that" falling red is not a heartless thing, but turning into spring mud protects flowers more "is the emotion triggered by poetry.

Third, the significance of humanistic spirit in Tang poetry

Today, let's talk about Tang poetry. What is the use of humanistic spirit in Tang poetry? This is its greatest use. It not only enables you to have an immortal mind, but also enables your mind to meet people who have reached a high level in ancient knowledge, conduct and cultivation, and experience your present existence in this mind, thus enhancing the significance and value of your existence. When are Du Fu's poems the most popular? Why were Du Fu's poems the most popular during the Song Dynasty and the Anti-Japanese War? The reason is that I love the humanistic spirit expressed in poetry. For example, Du Fu visited his wife from Chang 'an to Fengxian before the Anshi Rebellion. As soon as I got started, I heard my family crying, and my youngest son was starving! Such pain reminded him of his own personal experience and all kinds of social injustice. He said, "My youngest son starved to death." My youngest son starved to death, and I, who is always rent-free and tax-free, still do. What about ordinary people? Therefore, he "meditates and has no job, because his mind is far from guarding his soldiers", so that "his worries stop in the south and he can't stay in the hole!" We say that Du Fu's concern for the country and the people is a genuine feeling from the heart, which is difficult for ordinary people to do. Until he was old and climbed the Yueyang Tower, he said, "There are wars and mountains to the north of this wall," and I thought, "How can I not cry on the railing here?" . For another example, in the song "The Hut Was Blown by Autumn Wind", his family was frozen by the wind and rain, and he made a prayer that "everything is peaceful and the poor in the world are happy". This broad mind is very worthy of admiration by future generations. This is Du Fu, his temperament, and he also said, "Sunflowers are inclined to the sun, and physical properties are hard to take away"-I also know why I am so stupid, and I can leave his country alone! But this is my nature, like sunflowers and hops, always facing the sun. Without another person, there is no way to change human nature, so "tangible property can't be taken away." We say this is a noble humanistic spirit, which embodies people's overcoming of tragic fate. Man is stronger and nobler than tragic fate. After eating and sleeping, you said I would still care about the people. When you encounter a little setback, you only care about yourself and no longer care about the people. This is a different level, not to say that your concern is wrong, but that your concern is not the kind of care that you can't stop from the heart. Although today, we seem to be particularly lacking in heroism, especially the power that can really lift life. This has something to do with our view of human nature. These problems are too big for me to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of modern thought today, but our reflection and doubt about modern thought has also become a background for us to read Tang poetry, so that we can know how to cherish, cherish life and love ourselves. Know how to carry forward, carry forward our humanistic spirit and love others. Find yourself from the Tang poetry, and find spiritual beliefs that can settle down from the humanistic spirit.

Our times are so busy that people have no time to be moved by anything unimportant. Touching the soul is the greatest use of classical poetry. It not only allows you to have an immortal heart, but also allows your heart to meet people who have reached a high level in knowledge, conduct and cultivation in the ancients, and experience your present existence in this heart, thus enhancing the significance and value of your existence. When a national culture is gradually forgotten by this nation, losing its function and value to maintain its life, and it is only a finished product of art, when more and more people in China don't know Tang poetry and Song poetry, what they mean, what their benefits are, and even can't fully understand them, it's hard to say that our hearts still belong to China. Therefore, the method of reading Tang poetry focuses on understanding and seeking the touch of the soul. What your heart can feel is what kind of state your heart is in. As the saying goes, "different people have different opinions." .

It is said that in ancient times, one day two Zen masters discussed this problem. The first Zen master said a lot about what the universe is. When it was the second Zen master's turn, he suddenly saw a lotus flower in the pool and said, "People see this flower like a dream." We often read Tang poetry, and it seems that what we understand and answer is "seeing this flower like a dream". Because reading poetry is in contact with fresh perceptual experience, just like looking at flowers. It's also because I read the poem, and suddenly I feel that the ancients are our dream people, and we are the past lives of the ancients. The fairy of the past has flown away by the yellow crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower. The yellow crane never revisited earth, there have been no long white clouds for thousands of years. Every tree in Hanyang has become clear due to sunlight, and Nautilus Island is covered with sweet grass. But I looked at my hometown, and the twilight was getting thicker, and the mist of sadness was filled on the river waves. Cui Hao, Yellow Crane Tower. At this time, are you getting a little homesick, a little sighing about life, a little social concern, and a little old love? It can be said that the poems in Tang and Song Dynasties express our common humanity from ancient times to the present, and express the eternal fresh perceptual experience. Therefore, on the one hand, Tang poetry and Song poetry are eternal human nature, and on the other hand, because of your spiritual understanding, they are always emotional and fresh. This ancient and modern humanity is precisely the dream of China culture. I think the deepest and most beautiful part of our Chinese cultural dream is the interlocking humanistic spirit from ancient times to the present. Forever, in the back.
