Which month is better for dragons and which month is better for cows?

When is a good month to have a dragon? Thanks to the poplars on both sides,

Take us to the high platform,

Although there is no wind,

It's desolate enough.

Thanks to the mild sunshine,

Send us west,

Facing the distant mountains in the desert,

Have a glass of hot wine.

"I'm in autumn"

/ /

Early autumn in Taiyuan

(Tang) Li Bai

Autumn is getting stronger, flowers are sleeping, and autumn dryness is like fire.

Autumn comes from the north, and the clouds in the north also bring the Fenhe River.

Night after night, the moon in Taiyuan winds, but the heart returns to Cheryl's hometown, her body, with the moonlight.

The heart that misses my hometown is like the continuous Fenhe River, and I miss my hometown all the time.

/ /

In the early summer of 735 AD, the poet Li Bai came to Taiyuan at the invitation of his good friend Yan Yuan, hoping to visit Guangxi for Wenda. However, he lost several months of his life. When autumn came, Li Bai felt the decline of age, so he came back with a sigh.

It's not running, and heaven and earth are moving closer. In July of the summer calendar, flowers and plants receive the season and begin to wither. At this time, an obvious astronomical phenomenon is that the heart of fire is slipping. The heart is the fifth night among the twenty-eight stars in the East Qinglong. Every year in the summer calendar, the evening in May appears higher in the south, and it begins to decline in June and July, so it is called "July fire".

"The news of the surplus and deficiency of one body is all connected with heaven and earth and should belong to the category of things." (Liezi Zhou Muwang) Our life is like the tide, full or empty, disappearing or dying, and it is with the universe and everything. The sun, moon, stars, mountains and vegetation, even if you don't realize it, everything is with you all the time.

The Book of Songs in July praised Zhou Min's farming and food and clothing all year round. Why not start from the first month, but from the "July Fire"? As the first month of the year, the first month is just an artificial agreement. In fact, the first month of Xia, Shang and Zhou is different. Forget the concept of calendar and think about the time of year when you are most aware of the passage of time. It's early autumn for me. When the weather turns cold and leaves fall, I will feel the change of time. Although there are still a few months, it seems that a year has passed. "July filariasis" just started from the sense of urgency in cold years, and the foundation of food and clothing was laid out.

Li Bai's roaming in Taiyuan also came to an end at this time. "When people are old, many people will rest, when the fire is flowing", the first two sentences are not simply pointing out phenology. All the incense falls, and the fire flows west, causing ripples in Taibai's heart. Emotions move in the middle and appear in the form of words, which is also a feeling of excitement.

The next two sentences are even more: "first frost Wei left the fort early and Yundu River Qiu Lai." Taiyuan, known as Bingzhou and Lihe East Road in the Tang Dynasty, belongs to the border areas. In July of the lunar calendar, the south is still in the heat, and the north is first frosted. Taibai lived in the Yangtze River valley for many years, and he was even more shocked by the cold in the frontier. The sentence "Frost-Wei Zao fills the traffic" describes the geographical climate of Taiyuan, and the word "Wei Zao" has a vivid feeling. Let's look at the clouds again. "Autumn clouds cross the river" is even better. Clouds cross the Yellow River and dye autumn colors.

Clouds are autumn clouds, so they are Qiu Ren. In the first four sentences, Taibai said, "I am in autumn."

Autumn cold makes people homesick. "Dream around the border town, the heart flies to the old country building", which means Taiyuan, and the night dream haunts the border town and the moon. What kind of mood is this? For this sentence, many comments are based on the meaning of the text, and the more you understand it, the more confused you are. If you ask Taibai: Which is farther, the moon in the border town or the moon in my hometown? He will go further back to his hometown, because the moon can see, but his hometown is separated by Qian Shan. I think this is the mood of "dreaming around the border town and the moon". I can't go to my dream hometown at night, but I regard the moon in the border town as my hometown.

At that time, Li Bai's home was in Anlu, Hubei, not far from Taiyuan. He can still go back if he wants to. "My heart flies to the old country building", which is the feeling of homesickness and flying to God after he woke up from his dream, and it is also caused by early autumn.

"Homesickness is divided into water, and every day is not long." Fenshui flowing through Taiyuan is lyrical. The metaphor of running water for homesickness and the metaphor of the bright moon for lovesickness are both traditional ways that Li Bai often uses in his classical poems, such as "I miss you in the water, but I send you to the south" and "I send you to worry about the bright moon, and I go with the wind until the west".

How to write "early" in early autumn?

/ /

early autumn

(Tang) Xu Hun

The long night was filled with the silent voices of a couple and a couple; The wind blows like a west wind.

The dew condensed weeds left a few fireflies; On the morning of autumn, the geese flitted across the Milky Way and flew to the south.

Tall trees don't seem to have withered at dawn, and the distance between the sun and the distant mountains is quite clear.

"Huainanzi" has leaves and knows the sentence of Sui mother; I realized the poetry under the leaves of horaba.

/ /

Li Bai's "Early Autumn in Taiyuan" is intended to express feelings, while Xu Hun's poems are about things, that is, "Early Autumn".

If it was a proposition composition, what would you write? Naturally, you may write some impressions and details about early autumn, an essay, or a poem. Of course, you can also write a story, just like langston hughes's classic short story Early Autumn, a lost story.

Whether you write prose, stories, poems or prose poems, you should understand that what you write is not only autumn, but also whether you can write the feeling of "early". Xu Hun's poem "Early Autumn" can be used as an example for our reference.

Everyone who has read it knows that the first half of this poem is about autumn scenery in the evening and the second half is about autumn scenery in the daytime, but it is far from enough to know this generalization. Take the first couplet as an example. "There is a harp playing at midnight, and the west wind blows the green vine", which can ask many questions: Why do you want to write the night scene first? Why do you write and play the piano? What is a remote night? Why when the west wind blows over the ivy? Wait a minute. If you don't read carefully to feel the poet's poetic heart, it is a waste of good poetry.

Modern information bombing, common anxiety, people want to get a lot of information, often referred to as "fast-changing", seems a bit stunned and can't keep up with the times. Don't talk about all kinds of information, that is, reading, and always take 100 thousand "books that must be read in life" Who has so much time? Under anxiety, all kinds of "second understanding", five minutes to understand a famous book, ten seconds to read a poem. ...

A poem can really take seconds, okay? If there is such a poem, don't read it. A poem is a poem because it has a taste, which deserves your careful feeling and repeated taste. Poetry is not to make you understand, but to invite you to embark on an imaginary journey, so that you can travel to another time and space without a time machine. Poetry tries to awaken and expand your mind.

To answer many questions raised in the first couplet, we still have to live. Generally speaking, "someone is tough" means that this person easily feels hurt, which is actually overprotective. The purpose of life is to be aware of everything around you, including your own heart. Let's read the above questions carefully.

Why write the night scene first? Imagine: usually during the day or at night, are you the first to feel the coming of autumn? It should be at night. Needless to say, even if it doesn't rain, it will be obvious that autumn is coming at night. The nights are getting colder and longer. The wind sounds bleak, and the roots of trees chirp from time to time in the corner. Write the night scene first. Xu Hun doesn't write the humanity of these people at the beginning. He extracted two sentences from many experiences: "There is a harp playing in the middle of the night, and the west wind blows the green vine."

A long night is a long night. Maybe he can't sleep. The night is long and lonely, and the poet sits alone on the violin. "Pan Qing" has 25 strings, and "disc" refers to playing on many strings. The sound of the piano is like fine water, flowing clearly in the still night. "The west wind whispers green vines", and the west wind is the autumn wind. The wind was not really born in Trilo, but came from there. The vines in early autumn are dark green, and the west wind rises from the bushes, which makes people feel cool at night.

"There are low clouds touching jade-white dew, and early geese caressing Jinhe", and residual fireflies, high dew, early geese and Jinhe are all early autumn phenology. The poet looked up and bowed his head, catching the footsteps of early autumn from different angles and with different senses.

The next "night clings to the tall trees and the light folds in the distant mountains", the leaves of the tall trees have not withered, because the autumn is crisp, the sky is clear, the branches and leaves are more dense, and the distant mountains are more clearly presented to us on sunny days, so there are more. The vision of this association is to be near and far.

At the end of the couplets, the finishing touch is "and here in Huai, a fallen leaf consciously makes waves in Dongting". Each sentence has its own useful classics. "Huai Nan Zi Shuo Shan Xun" said that "you can tell your age when you see a leaf fall", and "Autumn wind blows, Dongting waves under the leaves" in "Songs of the South". Whether it's fallen leaves or Dongting waves, people can feel the breath of early autumn. When the two sentences are used together, there is another layer of poetry in the middle. When you see a fallen leaf in Huainan, you realize the Dongting wave. That is to say, although it is early autumn, the autumn air has rustled in.

Happy Dongting autumn moon.

On the Jianshan by the sea

/ /

See the mountains and rivers with Hao Chu's master and send relatives to Beijing.

Liu Zongyuan (Tang Dynasty)

Ying Chao on the sea is like a sword, cutting people's sadness in autumn everywhere.

How can we turn this body into tens of millions, scattered to the heads of state's homes to see!

/ /

This poem was written during Liu Zongyuan's relegation to Liuzhou. In 805 AD, after Yongzhen's innovation failed, Liu Zongyuan was first demoted to Yongzhou, and was recalled to Beijing ten years later, and returned to Liuzhou as a secretariat. The cruel and wild border environment made him feel desperate.

When he was demoted to Liuzhou again, Zongyuan's younger brother Zongzhi and his younger brother Zong Yi accompanied him for three months. Zong Yuan died of illness shortly after living in Liuzhou, only 23 years old. Zong Yuan was extremely sad. Except for Zong Zhi, Zong Yuan's mother, wife and daughter had all passed away before. Zong Yi lived in Liuzhou for half a year, and then went to Jiangling.

2 1 year-old, Liu Zongyuan, a famous scholar, had only a few good years, and then his career was unlucky again and again. He was demoted twice and his relatives died, which made him haggard and gloomy. In a poem for his younger brother, Zong Yi, he wrote: "It was dark and tears flowed across the river. I went to the country for six thousand miles and died for twelve years "("Don't be my brother ").

Liuzhou now belongs to Guangxi, and its unique geographical features are similar to those of Guilin. Today's people travel to Guangxi and enjoy "the mountains and rivers are the best in the world". For Zongyuan at that time, it was desperate. Because I miss my hometown in Beijing and my relatives and friends there, these strange mountains and strange water have become a way to stop him. In a poem written for four friends who were demoted at the same time, he described it as "within three hundred miles, nothing can be seen except vague forests and mountains and nine rivers winding in our intestines".

"Seeing my relatives off in Beijing with Master Hao Chu", Master Hao Chu was attached to Long Anhai and went to Liuzhou to visit Zongyuan from He Lin (now Hezhou, Guangxi). On that day, they visited the mountain together, and Zongyuan felt sad and deeply saddened.

Liuzhou is not far from the sea, so it is called "the mountain by the sea". These sharp peaks are like swords. Zongyuan was sad, so he felt this way, but it was also a reality. Su Shi said in Dongpo Inscription and Shu Hou Poem: "When I was a servant in Dongwu, I was in parallel for several days. The roadside peaks are really like swords and thick poems. Do you know how many strange peaks there are on the seamount? "

"Qiu Lai is cutting his heart everywhere", Zongyuan is already a mourning official, and Qiu Lai is full of sharp mountains, which is even more cutting people's hearts. Qiu Lai Mountain is denser, clearer, more insurmountable, "ubiquitous" and more inevitable. Autumn is prone to the sadness of old age, and Zongyuan has devoted himself to the wilderness. He felt left here.

Crossing the sharp mountain like a sword forest, he thought of his relatives and friends in Beijing. "If you want to become 100 billion dollars, you can go to the top to see your hometown." Zong Yuan was proficient in the Four Books and the Five Classics, and saw the mountains with Hao Chu. At this time, he naturally thought of "incarnation". He is homesick and can't wait to turn it into hundreds of billions, scattered on the peaks and overlooking his hometown. The hometown here is not his hometown Hedong, but Chang 'an.

Zong Yuan's poems were sent to relatives and friends in Beijing. He was in great pain, anxious to return. He hoped that he could help his relatives and friends in North Korea so that he wouldn't be buried. In August19, Tang Xianzong granted amnesty, and with the efforts of Pei Du, Liu Zongyuan of Xi 'an returned to Beijing. Unfortunately, Zong Yuan died in Liuzhou on the eighth day of1month in 2008, at the age of 46.

When I read Zongyuan's poems, I think of Li Deyu, the outstanding prime minister of Tang Wuzong. Because of Tang Xuanzong's aversion to the new throne and the exclusion of his political opponents, he fell again and again and finally fled to Hainan Yazhou. He wrote Cliff Climbing City in Yazhou, which can be read: "It takes half a year for a bird to fly to Beijing alone. Bishan seems to want to stay in life and is surrounded by the county. "

We are all reduced to the end of the world and love each other, while Li Deyu's poems are more peaceful but resentful. He is even in the mood to make fun of himself. He didn't hate being surrounded by mountains, but said that "mountains should keep people." Liu Zongyuan is miserable because he is still young and has hope for his fate. Li Deyu knew there was no hope of survival. When encountering difficulties, he became dull and gave up hope, so he was not so desperate.
