Appreciation

This poem clarifies the author's point of view. The author thinks that although people are thin, thin, weak in vision, and sick in old age, they also have advantages such as rich experience, knowing how to cherish time, and self-motivation. If we think about this carefully and comprehensively, we can establish a correct view of the elderly, and we can get rid of the emotion of sighing about the old and make a difference. The whole poem expresses Liu Yuxi's sober and optimistic understanding of life and death, which shows that he can treat life positively with a materialistic attitude under any circumstances. The sentence "It's late in Sang Yu, but it's still full of sunshine" is deeply appreciated by people and has become a famous sentence that has been told for generations.

The first six sentences of the poem follow Bai Juyi's original singing, indicating that they share the same feelings with Bai Juyi's views on "old". It is human nature to write a sentence or two about "caring for the elderly". Everyone is worried about aging, and no one will pity them when they are old. Then four sentences further explain the reason of "caring for the elderly", and the poet describes it in vivid language: because of aging, the body is getting thinner day by day, the belt is constantly tightening, the hair is gradually thinning, and the hat is naturally skewed. The book is abandoned to protect the eyes; Moxibustion is often used to prolong life.

The sentence "I'm still familiar with what I'm doing ... and I'll be successful if I'm here" talks about the view of "old" from another aspect, which is aimed at Bai Juyi's "hurting old". Liu Yuxi believes that the old has its shortcomings, but it also has its strengths. The weakness of the old is that he is frail and sickly. "His body is thin and his hair is thin and his hat is biased." The strength of the old is rich experience. "Experience is still familiar with things, and reading people is like reading Sichuan." The older you get, the more things you have experienced, the more things you know, and the more people you have seen, the deeper your experience will be. Come to think of it carefully, this is also a blessing. Therefore, the poet sang, "It will be natural to get down here." The poet advised his friend not to worry too much about aging, but to be happy if he treated it correctly.

The last two sentences are the crowning touch of the poem, with beautiful artistic conception. The momentum is bold and unrestrained, and Cao Cao's "old horse crouches, aiming at a thousand miles." The martyr's old age is full of courage. In the face of aging, poets are not negative or pessimistic, and they should use their lifetime to scatter the sky with red clouds. These two poems are not only the self-disclosure of the poet's inner world, but also the relief and encouragement to his old friend Bai Juyi.

The first and second paragraphs of this poem are full of dialectical views and persuasive power. The last two sentences are particularly incisive, and they are actually words of warning, which are used by later generations to encourage themselves.

Creative background

In 836 AD (the first year of Tang Wenzong's opening), Liu Yuxi, 64, divided Luoyang, the eastern capital, as a guest of the Prince. At this time, Bai Juyi, his peer, has lived in Luoyang for three years in the same capacity. We are very happy to finally get together. However, Bai Juyi showed a negative pessimism about aging in his poem "Ode to the Old and Give Dreams" written to Liu Yuxi, and Liu Yuxi wrote this poem.

Author's brief introduction

Liu Yuxi (772 ~842), with the word Mengde, was born in Luoyang, Henan Province, and was born in Xingyang, Zhengzhou, Henan Province. He described himself as a descendant of Jing Wang of Hanzhong Mountain. Ministers, writers and philosophers in the Tang Dynasty were known as "poets". His family is a scholarly family passed down from generation to generation by Confucianism. Advocating innovation in politics is one of the central figures of Wang Shuwen School's political innovation activities. Later, Yongzhen failed to innovate and was demoted to Langzhou Sima (now Changde, Hunan). According to the research of Mr. Zhou Xinguo, a historian and collector in Changde, Hunan Province, Liu Yuxi was demoted to Sima Langzhou, during which he wrote the famous "Spring Hope in Hanshou City".
