Han _ meaning of the ancient poem "Cold Food"

Cold Food means: In late spring, catkins are flying everywhere in Chang 'an, and the east wind of the Cold Food Festival blows the willow branches of the Royal Garden. As night falls, the palace is busy handing out candles, and the light smoke from lighting candles is scattered into the homes of princes and nobles.

Han Yong (hóng) was born in Nanyang and was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. He has been doing clerical work in the army, and is good at writing farewell poems. He is as famous as Qian Qi and other poets, and is called "Ten Talents in Dali". Tianbao was admitted to the imperial examination in 13 years, and Baoying worked in Hou Xiyi's shogunate, the envoy of Ziqing, and then returned to Korea with Hou Xiyi, living in Chang 'an for ten years. During Jian's middle age, he was appreciated by Tang Dezong for writing a "Cold Food", and he was promoted constantly, and finally he became an official in the middle school.

Han Yi's poem "Cold Food" was not only loved by the emperors at that time, but also passed down from mouth to mouth by ordinary courtiers. In Tang Yin Gui Jian, there is also a special record of the grand occasion that "Han Yuanwai (Yi) is a poet, whose meaning is close to history, his interest is numerous and rich, and his poems are sung one by one, and he is a scholar at the court".

Although the poem contains irony, the vivid and typical description conquered the emperor at that time. According to the record of "Poem of Skill", Tang Dezong appreciated this poem of Han's very much. After reading it, he was specially given the prominent position of "driving a doctor to know the patent". At that time, because the secretariat of Jianghuai had the same name as Han Yi, Dezong specially wrote this poem in person and approved: "With this Han Yi".
