Chapter 161 Not "the end of the mountain"

Over the years, I have seen two very good poems by our great patriotic poet Lu You in the Southern Song Dynasty misquoted more than once.These two sentences are in the seven laws of his "Traveling in Shanxi Village": "The mountains and rivers are full of doubts and no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village". Qu Shui's ingenious brushwork was gently erased! The full text of the poem is: It is enough to keep customers in a good year.Mountain darkly, vista.Xiaogu follows the Spring Society, and the clothes are simple and ancient.From now on, if you are free to ride the moon, you will knock on the door all the time and night with a stick.

I don't have Lu You (Fang Weng)'s complete collection of "Jiannan Poems", only "Lu You Poems" published by People's Literature Publishing House. In 1166) because he vigorously advocated and supported Zhang Jun's Northern Expedition of the Anti-Japanese War faction, he was squeezed out by the capitulation faction in power. He was dismissed from office in Longxing (now Nanchang, Jiangxi) and returned to his hometown Shanyin (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang ) lived in the Sanshan area of ​​Jinghu Lake. This poem was written in the countryside in the spring of 1167.For four years from then, and the twenty years before his death, he lived a life of poverty in the mountains and forests of Shanyin.

The characteristic of Lu You's poems is that in the poems he has written for decades, he consistently overflows with strong patriotic fighting emotions.When he was dying at the age of eighty-six, his last poem "Shier" was even more recited by everyone: But sadly, Kyushu is not the same.Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and the family sacrifices were never forgotten to tell Nai Weng. Now I come back to talk about the magic of the four words "mountains and rivers return", these four words remind me of the scene when I passed the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.I think that although the mountains and rivers of the Three Mountains are definitely not as great and steep as the Three Gorges, it is also conceivable that the mountains overlap and the water lingers back and forth. After passing a Ping Mountain, another beautiful scene with dark willows and bright flowers will be sent to your face. It is by no means like "the mountains and rivers are at the end", when you go to a desperate place, suddenly a village with dark willows and bright flowers pops up like a mirage!Because only when the mountains and rivers are restored, the word "doubt" at the bottom can be doubted well. If it is already "the mountains and rivers are exhausted", then you have to see this village suddenly in front of you!

I think these two sentences also have a double meaning. Lu You failed to support the War of Resistance and was attacked by the capitulation faction. He was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown. On the one hand, he was of course extremely resentful. He knows that only the working people truly love the motherland, and he can talk about loyalty and anger with them, which not only resonates with them, but sometimes arouses his own shame.Just like the old Lu Fengye mentioned in his poem "Recognition of Shame" (written in 1208), he talked bitterly about current affairs with him, which made him feel that an old farmer who "doesn't care about salary" can still hate the enemy so much , love the motherland, he was ashamed, so he went home and wrote that poem quickly.Therefore, "Wild Willows and Blossoms" not only describes the beauty of the mountain village, but also describes the joy of sympathy in the mountain village after he was hit by the court. He thought it was a kind of happiness to suffer poverty with the peasants. In the poem "Shuangfeng" written in the same year, there is a saying "the husband is better than happiness after passing through this, and shines brightly in front of the broken tears lamp", which may refer to this.
