Chapter 49 Emperor Wenzong Xianfeng of Qing Dynasty——Aixinjueluo·Yipin

Aixinjueluo Yipin (1831-1861), the fourth son of Emperor Xuanzong.During his reign, the Taiping Rebellion and the Second Opium War broke out.He relied on Zeng Guofan and foreign invaders to suppress the Taiping Army with all his strength.The British and French allied forces attacked Beijing, he fled to Rehe, and the Old Summer Palace was burned and looted.A series of humiliating treaties were signed with the British, French and Russian imperialists.He died of illness in Rehe Palace and was buried in Dingling Mausoleum (now Zunhua County, Hebei Province).The temple name is Wenzong, and the history is called Emperor Xianfeng.

The height of the building feels too empty and wide, and the infinite poetic complex is ancient.
"The height of the building is too empty and wide, and the infinite poetic complex is ancient." Not talking about climbing the height, but talking about the height of the building means that people are already upstairs.Not to mention that the field of vision has been broadened, but the sky has become wider. This is an external expression of the subjective versus the objective.The poet thinks of the various elegant traditions of the Chongyang Day of the ancients, and he does not realize that he is full of lofty sentiments.The narrative explanation of the first couplet is very implicit, but it is becoming more and more energetic.The author writes clearly about the building, but actually writes about the person implicitly; the thick stroke of "too empty" also shows a lofty and clear background space for the expression of the whole article's emotions, so as to lead the following, the mood is really extraordinary .

"When I come here today to offer some pens, who is drunk to help the crown." The couplet is positive.During the Double Ninth Festival, all Gao Shimoke climbed high and gazed into the distance, drinking and composing poems. When the pleasure of traveling was in full swing, Meng Jia's hat fell off, making him even more romantic.This is "Denglin" echoing the "high building" in the first couplet, and "offering a pen" should be "poetic". "Who is drunk" actually said that he was drunk, and reversed the previous drunken words "Shijue is too vain and generous", while "Qian Fuguan" implicitly implied "to make old joy".In the Jin Dynasty, Meng Jia "joined the army for Huanwen, and traveled to Longshan for nine days. When the wind came, Jia's hat fell off, and Wen ordered Sun Sheng to mock him" ("Book of Jin").Transformers use this allusion to describe the state of celebrity's coquettish implication.The intricate combination of one and two couplets expresses the author's joy in Jiari and Chongyang.

"Thousands of peaks towering green and clear autumn sky, a wild goose sends the early cold in the sky." Traveling far and wide, thousands of peaks and ridges are towering.The sky is high and the air is refreshing, and the sky is clean and green.In late autumn, when the early cold hits people, geese have already flown from north to south.Scholars have always mourned autumn, which is a common phenomenon of accumulation in Chinese cultural traditions.But Yi Chi's poem is not a formality. Although the author writes about the coolness of autumn, it does not give people a sense of sadness and bleakness.On the contrary, this atmosphere is a metaphor for the feelings and ideals that although the seasons change in an orderly manner, the mountains and rivers are firm and long-lasting.Obviously, the expression of imagery and the expression of emotion are in line with the author's temperament, identity and attitude towards life, so the neck couplet of the poem is not only a description of the scene, but also a lyric.

"I'm really happy with the thatched eaves everywhere, and you can sit and look at the pictures of Bin Feng." The terrain and water conservancy, reclaiming wasteland, so that the residence can be stable.The "thatched eaves everywhere" written by the author is also the middle scene of the "Bin Feng Picture" that he admired so much.As a generation of emperors, in terms of their subjective wishes, who would not want to rule the country peacefully and the people peacefully?If the neck couplet is a long-lasting landscape painting, then the tail couplet can be said to be just like a freehand painting of living and working in peace and contentment.In this high-autumn festival, if you appreciate such a picture, how can you not have infinite poetry and boundless joy?

One or two couplets write about ascending heights, elongated in time, and focus on writing emotions; three or four couplets write about scenes, spread out in space, and focus on writing chronicles.The whole poem is interesting from the beginning to the end, the emotions are blended from front to back, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality, and the poetic flavor is also suitable in shades and tastes, which is chewable. It is worth explaining that this poem by Yi Chi is the rhyme of Du Fu's "Nine Days in Lantian Cui's Village".Du Fu's original poem reads: When old age is sad, autumn is strong and self-forgiving, and when you are happy, you will be happy today.

Ashamed to blow the short hair back to the hat, Xiaoqian is the crown of others. The blue water falls far from the thousand streams, the jade mountain is high and the two peaks are cold. Who will know next year?Get drunk and look carefully at the dogwood. What's interesting is that Yi Chi rhymes sequentially, but the meaning and mood of the original poem are quite different.Du Fu's poems are pessimistic and sad, and Yi Chi's poems are optimistic and complacent. If readers compare the two to appreciate and comment, it will definitely be interesting.
Showers and light thunder bring coolness, Chengji Yuhu flies oars.

This small poem is about the boat on the lake after the rain, but it is not a floating boat with nothing, nor is it a light boat with a heart like floating clouds, but the liberation of the mind after suffering from oppression. It is the emotion of loving life and nature. the excitation. "A shower of light thunder brings refreshment, and Chengji flies oars over the lake." The first two sentences seem to express a certain impatient mood of the poet.The words are very simple and there is no time to ramble.In his narrative, there is a clear process, but there are no specific details.Everything is left for us to reflect on and supplement.Rain is "shower", thunder is "light thunder", but what is before this thunderstorm?The gloomy sky, the low hanging clouds, the stagnant air, and the still trees make the world seem to be getting smaller and shrinking slowly.But suddenly, a light thunder rolled over, followed by a torrential rain.Hush, huh, huh, go away from the dust and the atmosphere, the leaves will soon turn green, and people will feel refreshed.The thunder has passed, the rain has gone, the clouds have opened and the sun has risen, and the long sky is blue and clear.On the Kunming Lake in the imperial garden, the waves are rippling, and the whole is as flat as a mirror.The mirror image is empty, there is a sky in the water, and the sky and water form an interesting contrast.The poet was excited: why not fly the boat and paddle, and melt into the embrace of beauty!

"Thousands of hectares of blue glaze, meandering around the west peak and green front." These two sentences describe the lake and the distant mountains, and highlight the vastness of the world.The dryness and depression in the moment before the rain makes the poet think of the narrow and oppressive underground purgatory that tortures the living beings, and the doomsday of the world.But at this moment on the paddle lake, the water is like green glass, a vast expanse of green.Looking at the setting sun in the distance, Xishan and Yuquanshan come in a series of twists and turns, like green curtains and emerald barriers.Two sentences and eleven characters present a very broad world in front of people.The first is the sense of space. "Thousands of hectares", the combination of its huge number and volume highlights the openness of the lake level; "meaning", an adjective that expresses the twists and turns, emphasizes the grandeur of the three-dimensional facade of the peaks and mountains.Second is the sense of color. "Green" and "green" are both cool tones. The clear water and green mountains in the author's pen remind people of coolness and bring a sense of comfort and relaxation. In this way, the landscape depicted in the poem suddenly appears more peaceful and far-reaching.

"It's sunny, sunny, looking east to the rainbow." The author is good at using the inherent rhyme and rhythm of the words to strengthen the expression of the characters' emotions.When comparing the lake water, the poet used "glass" and "meaning" when describing the mountain. Intoxicated by nature, people are intoxicated, and the aesthetic realm of people melting in nature.Here again, the word "clear" rhymes with repeated sounds. Obviously, in addition to the synergy, it also reproduces the author's uncontrollable joy.It is precisely because of the repeated use of this word that the author's elated image when he looks east at the colorful and magnificent rainbow is ready to come out.

Although there are only thirty-three characters in one word, the beauty is that it is short but not simple.The whole word uses scenery instead of narrative, and has a clear time flow, which is exactly like a small story of a lake tour.Another artistic feature of this work is that it is searched from beginning to end, without a single allusion, and the words are purely beautiful.However, the word formation is not clear.The whole word describes the scene, but there is no scene and no emotion.There are frequent transitions between sentences, scenes and scenes are also constantly changing, and the joy of surprise and joy of the characters also dances between the lines.There is not a single word in the word expressing love, but the transition and jumping space, just like the blank technique in the art of painting, leaves a vast world for people to fully imagine and recreate.
The ancient temple language wind chimes, slow down Tintin.
There are three kinds of physiques for the phrase "Langtaosha".The first type is the seven-character quatrain style, written by Tang Liu Yuxi and others; the second type is double-tone, which became popular in the Five Dynasties, such as Li Yu's "Rain Outside the Curtain"; the third type is long-tune slow song, divided into three sections, There are more than 130 characters, and Zhou Bangyan in the Song Dynasty once filled it out according to the music.Yi Chi's work belongs to the second type, with fifty-four characters, divided into upper and lower parts. After the original lyric, there is a subtitle of "Fu Suburbs and Scenery", but the first part of the film is not to describe the scenery, but to sound: "The ancient temple speaks of wind chimes, slow down Ding Ding." The breeze gently sent the faint sound of Ding Ding .Its voice is originally a sound of nature, but it is also like human language. "Yufengling" is an inversion, it should be "Windlingyu". "Du" is preceded by the word "slow", which describes the ringtone is leisurely and unhurried.Hearing this sound will naturally make people pure and ascetic, forget about the struggle between right and wrong, and even imperceptibly make people slowly immerse themselves in the state of selflessness.Sound; often the most attention-grabbing!The author's expressive pen has indeed produced this ideal aesthetic effect.Looking along the prestige, in the forest in the mountains in the distance, the shadows of the Buddhist temple and the pagoda can be seen unevenly.The distant bell in the ancient temple, the tinkling wind chime, the author created "a picture with sound" from the sound to the scene.Such a quiet place, isn't it exciting! "It's really fun to live in the village, and the small thatched pavilion is low." The author seems to have formed two compositions from the distant charm of the ancient temple and the unique charm of the village.actually not.The distant bell in the ancient temple is not only a "picture with sound", but also a fictional description. It is to create an atmosphere and serve as the background of the village's thatched pavilion, which is actually written.The two compositions in the feeling, one virtual and the other real, are unified in the artistic conception of the only theme.The only theme in the poem is reflected in the author's pursuit of an ideal world of living and working in peace and contentment, simple and pure.And this pursuit is consistent from his literary creation.In his Chongjiu Denggao poem, he once described the "Binfeng picture" of "I'm happy with the thatched eaves everywhere"! Once we understand the direction of the author's life pursuit, we can also see that what is written in the second part of his poem is not a casual pen that is free from the theme. "Mountain birds call themselves names, and Shaojing can rely on them. There are thousands of clear clouds and bright sky." Although the mountain birds are written, the author's envy and admiration is that the mountain birds are not disturbed by things and are at ease.Therefore, he feels that such a beautiful scenery is worth appreciating, and it can be a spiritual sustenance.Everything here is pure and clean, even if you look up and see "thousands of clear clouds", it is not mysterious, but beautiful, ethereal, transparent, and innocent.The author's "scenery in the suburbs" was not obtained by accident, and he is no stranger to this "bin wind picture" full of "true fun".He remembered that this simple and quiet place between heaven and earth was in the outskirts of the city. In the past, he would ride horses frequently in spring and visit from afar. "I remember that in the past, Fan rode a horse, and the road was close to Spring City", and the word "Fan" in the sentence is really the finishing touch.The end of the pen seems to have immediately transformed scenes of slow motion scenes of poets who never tire of their "boring" and whipping horses past, and then close-up close-ups of revisiting old places, endless reminiscences and loss.It is this stroke that naturally blends the scene written in the words with the author's feelings, and makes the author's spiritual destination here concentrated and vividly reproduced.The last two sentences of the poem express the author's nostalgia for the ideal state he pursues in the way of talking to himself. There are only two poems written by Yi Chi, except for "Like a Dream Ling·Yong Wan Qing Fang Zhou", this is the two-tone "Lang Tao Sha". Wei affectionately entrusts his political ideals to the artistic realm he created.For Emperor Xianfeng, if you want to know people and talk about the world, you must read this poem. What's more, it is worthy of being a superior work both in terms of its ideological content and artistic achievements.
