Where does this sentence come from? -Liu Yuxi's "Two Autumn Poems, One" in Tang Dynasty
The complete original text is like this:
Since ancient times, I feel sad and lonely every autumn. I think autumn is more than spring.
There is no one in the clear sky in Wan Li, and a crane, Ling Yunfei, has aroused my meditation on the blue sky.
I also released a translation for your understanding:
Since ancient times, poets and writers have lamented the depression in autumn, but I say autumn is far better than spring.
On a clear autumn day in Wan Li, a crane soared among the clouds, which triggered my poem to fly to the sky.
Here are some words that I think are more important. Let me explain them to you separately:
Sadness and loneliness: lamenting depression.
Spring dynasty: spring.
Cloud exhaust: refers to cloud exhaust.
Pie: Push means breakthrough.
Bi Xiao: Blue sky.
If you only read the article, it may be difficult to understand the meaning, so you have to interpret it in combination with the creative background of the article at that time:
In 805 AD (Yongzhenyuan), Shunzong ascended the throne and appointed Wang to reform the state affairs. Liu Yuxi also participated in this innovation movement. Failure was downgraded. However, he has a strong psychology of seeking differences. He wants to be different in everything and refuses to follow suit. Two Autumn Poems was written when he was demoted to Sima Langzhou.
Having said that, let's appreciate and comment on this article together:
Liu Yuxi's Autumn Poetry is abnormal in tone and novel in style. It eulogizes the beauty of autumn with the greatest enthusiasm. What's more rare and valuable is that "Autumn Ci" is the work of the poet after he was relegated to Langzhou, which makes people admire Liu Yuxi's attitude towards others. There are two original poems, and this is the first one.
"Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely. I say autumn is better than spring." Since Song Yu left a famous sentence in Nine Arguments, sadness has become a hue and an emotion in autumn. Sadness has become the autumn in my heart. However, at the beginning of the poem, the poet begins with a discussion, categorically denying the previous concept of sorrowful autumn, showing a radical and upward poetry. I'm talking about the poet's self-confidence, which, although infected, is an unfortunate color. However, the poet's broad mind has significantly resolved this misfortune. "Winning the Spring Dynasty" is the poet's full recognition of autumn scenery. This kind of recognition is not only a temporary emotional impulse, but a poet's rational thinking on autumn at a higher level.
"Clouds are scattered by cranes in the clear sky, which brings poetry to Bixiao." The poet grasped the unique landscape of "a crane flying in the sky" in autumn, showing the open scene of crisp autumn, clear skies in Wan Li and white clouds fluttering. The crane in Lingyun, also carrying the poet's poems, swam to the sky together. Although this crane is lonely, its momentum is extraordinary. The meaning of a word "beat" is self-evident. Perhaps, the poet uses "crane" as a metaphor, or perhaps, the poet regards "crane" as an unyielding embodiment. There is philosophical implication, artistic charm, thought-provoking and memorable. It gives readers not only the vitality and plain color of autumn, but also a noble spirit and noble sentiment.
Reading such a poem, we don't have a sad breath in our hearts. With the poet's "poetry" and the wings of the poet's imagination, we gallop in the blue sky like horses. As a result, the crane flies into the sky, and its poetry is far-reaching. The combination of "reality" and "emptiness" gives you a good feeling of inspirational emotion.
The whole poem is magnificent, artistic conception is magnificent, emotion, scenery and reason are integrated in one furnace, showing high spirit and broad mind, singing the extraordinary Qiu Ge and leaving us precious spiritual wealth.
Finally, I believe everyone is familiar with the author Liu Yuxi. Here I will briefly introduce:
Liu Yuxi (772 ~842) was born in Luoyang, Henan, and Xingyang, Zhengzhou, Henan. He claimed to be a descendant of Wang Jing in Hanzhong. Ministers, writers and philosophers in the Tang Dynasty were called "poets".
His family is a scholarly family handed down from generation to generation by Confucianism. Advocating political innovation is one of the core figures of the Wang school's political innovation activities. Later, Yongzhen failed in innovation and was demoted to Sima Langzhou (now Changde, Hunan). According to the textual research of Mr. Zhou, a historian and collector in Changde, Hunan Province, Liu Yuxi was demoted to Sima Langzhou, during which he wrote the famous "Han Shou Chun Wang".
