What does it mean that fame and fortune in classical Chinese are so attractive?

The temptation of fame and fortune to people has reached this point!

Youdalin temple

Bai Juyi

Yu and Henan Yuanjixu,, ... all 17 people. I left my love for the thatched cottage, crossed the east and west forests, reached Chenghua and rested at the summit. Sudalin Temple climbs incense burner peak. The forest is far away and inaccessible. Around the temple, there are many clean Cang Shi, dwarf pine and thin bamboo. There are only wooden houses in the temple, and all its monks are Haidong people.

The mountains are high and deep, and the season is never late. When I was in Xia Meng, for example, on February 2, peaches began to bloom and the grass was still very short; The climate of the characters is different from that of the flat settlements. If you don't build a world, you will suddenly realize. As the advertisement says, "In April, the world is full of peach blossoms.

Flowers began to bloom. I want to find a place where my life is dying, but I don't know that it has been moved here. "Then I looked around the wall and saw the names of Xiao Langzhong Village, Wei Langzhong Hongjian and Li Bububo. They sighed with Ji Xu:" This place is the first in Kuanglu. There is no half way from the post road to the mountain gate. Starting with Xiao, Wei and Li You, I have been hanging up for 20 years, and there is no successor. Ha ha! So is the attraction of fame and fortune! On April 9th, in the 12th year of the reign of Yuan Dynasty, Bai Letian, Taiyuan made a preface.

Selected from Bai Juyi and His Works by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House.

Reference translation

I started from Ai Yi Caotang with friends such as Yuan Jixu from Henan, passed Tolin Temple and Sailin Temple at the northwest foot of Lushan Mountain, and came to Shanghuacheng Temple. After resting at the top of the lecture platform, climb the incense burner peak and stay in Dalin Temple. Dalin Temple is very remote and inaccessible. The streams around the temple are clear, the rocks are dark, the pine trees are short and the bamboo is slender. There are only wooden houses and utensils in the temple, and all the monks in the temple are Haidong people. The mountains here are steep and the terrain is deep, and the four seasons change very slowly. Here, the early summer season is like the weather in January and February outside the mountain. The peach trees in the mountains have just blossomed, and the green grass in the mountains is still short. The personnel scenery, customs and phenology are a little different from the flat village outside the temple. Just coming here is like coming to another magical world. So freely sing a quatrain:

In the world of April, the flowers have withered, and the peach blossoms in the ancient temples have just bloomed.

I want to find a place where my life is dying, but I don't know that it has been moved here.

Soon, we looked around the wall of Dalin Temple and saw the poems inscribed by Xiaocun, Wei Hongjian and Li Bo. For this reason, Yuan and I both sighed and said, "This is the first scene of Lushan Mountain, which is less than half a day's journey from Jiaotong Avenue to Dalin Temple. Xiao, Wei and Li have been visiting the temple for nearly 20 years, but no celebrities have inherited the elegance of their poems. Alas, the temptation of fame and fortune to people has reached this point! "

Make an appreciative comment

Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was demoted to Sima Hou, Jiangzhou, Jiangxi Province, and made an essay when he visited Dalin Temple in Lushan Mountain, Jiangxi Province with his good friends Yuan and others. Almost at the same time, he wrote Pipa Xing. Taking the trail as a clue, the work focuses on the unique scenery of Dalin Temple: "Clean Cang Shi, short pine and fine bamboo" is outlined with a thick pen, and "Peach blossoms are in early bloom and the grass is still short" is outlined with a fine pen; Write its overall characteristics with "the mountains are deep and the seasons are not late"; In the next poem, the author expresses his feelings with a wonderful pen and vividly describes the poet's feeling of enjoying flowers: you see, in the season when the peach blossoms in the flat land have withered, the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are extremely prosperous. When I see the fallen flowers, I often resent that spring is nowhere to be found, but I turn to this temple in the forest for help! Joy and excitement are beyond words. At the end of the article, the pen turned and sighed: such a beautiful place, close to the highway, even inaccessible, shows how keen the world is to pursue fame and fortune and have no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery! After reading this, people will know the purpose of this article.
