Chapter 7 It is important to make friends, and we will meet each other thousands of miles away

Yu Shinan Hanwei Duoqi Festival, suave and suave. We share our promises, and each bears our vertical and horizontal ambitions. It's important to make friends, and we will meet each other thousands of miles away. The strings of the moon are green and bright, and the bridles of gold are floating clouds. Play the flute and enter Wu City, and build a tour Yansi. Looking for the source of Bowanghou, and seeking customers from afar. The young man took a look, and drove back to Longtou. The flames move, the swords rise, and the swords float. The Tianshan Mountains are snowed in winter and summer, and flow north and south across the river.

The cloud rises, the dragon sand is dark, and the wood falls in Yanmen autumn. To commit suicide and sacrifice one's confidant is not for one's own sake. On November 21, 2003, Premier Wen Jiabao was interviewed by Downey, editor-in-chief of The Washington Post, in Ziguangge, Zhongnanhai.In the interview, Premier Wen said: "I heard that you are coming to China for the first time, and I would like to extend a warm welcome to you and your colleagues. There is an ancient Chinese poem: 'It is important to make a friend, and you will see each other for thousands of miles.' In more than ten years Today, I will visit your great country. Here, first of all, through your newspaper, I would like to express my cordial greetings and best wishes to the great American people."

The Chinese have a tradition of hospitality since ancient times: Tao Yuanming, a poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, described the strangers in the "Taohuayuan people" who saw a visitor, and immediately set up wine and killed chickens to cook food for tourists who strayed into the depths of Taoyuan; the poet of the Southern Song Dynasty When Lu You visited the Shanxi Village, he also described the local people as "abundant years to keep guests." Because of their hospitality, they like reciprocity, that is, they advocate mutual visits in terms of etiquette, and there are reciprocal visits.This simple folk custom has been preserved to this day, and relatives and sisters-in-law in small towns in many places still visit each other during the festival.Every year, friends from all corners of the country step into this rich land of China in an endless stream, and Chinese people also rush to go abroad to see the different world outside.Undoubtedly, this kind of exchange is very beneficial for us to promote Chinese culture and learn advanced foreign technical experience.Premier Wen quoted this poem, on the one hand, it reflects the hospitality spirit of the Chinese people, and on the other hand, it also reflects the emphasis on communication between major countries.

What Premier Wen quoted was a Yuefu poem by Yu Shinan, a calligrapher and writer in the early Tang Dynasty.Yu Shinan was a native of Yuyao, Yuezhou in the early Tang Dynasty.Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty often called him virtuous, honest, erudite, diction, and calligraphy.His poetic style is similar to his calligraphy style, with vigor and vitality in his beauty.Only one volume of his works is recorded in "Quan Tang Shi".There are 32 poems in this volume, 7 of which were written during the Sui Dynasty.As a well-trained court poet who was deeply interested in the literature of the Southern Dynasties, Yu Shinan's works in the Sui Dynasty were obviously characterized by piles of rhetoric and eloquence.After entering the Tang Dynasty, Yu Shinan was hailed as "contemporary famous official with accurate human relations" because of his equal emphasis on morality and writing.Once, Emperor Taizong of Tang wrote the first palace-style poem and ordered his minister Genghe.Yu Shinan remonstrated Yan Zhi: "The holy work is sincere, but its style is not elegant. If there is something good at the top, there must be something wrong with the bottom. I am afraid that this poem will become popular all over the world, so I dare not obey it." As a piece of "virtue" specially established by Li Shimin " and "loyalty" model, Yu Shinan's poetic style was infected by the grand atmosphere and high-spirited style of the founding of the early Tang Dynasty, showing a new style, showing a breakthrough and transcendence of palace style poetry, and to a certain extent promoted and promoted The healthy development of early Tang literature.Yu Shinan's Yuefu poem "Jie Ke Juvenile Journey" embodies the harbinger of the innovation of the early Tang Dynasty's poetic style with its open momentum and vigorous and gloomy style.

Yu Shinan's "Jie Ke Juvenile Journey" describes a young chivalrous man who "plays the flute and enters the city of Wu, builds and visits Yansi". The image of the young knight-errant is vivid.In this poem, the poet first praises the people in Han and Wei who have a lot of integrity since ancient times.If you make an appointment with your friends, they will promise you what they promise, even if they are thousands of miles away, they will come as scheduled. "Blowing the flute into the city of Wu, building and visiting Yansi. Searching for the source and looking for the marquis, meeting guests from afar to seek each other", using the stories of Wu Zixu and Gao Jianli to sing the praises of knights wearing dark green bowstrings, golden saddle horses traveling the world, seeking An opportunity to make a difference.Bowanghou refers to Zhang Qian. In the sixth year of Yuanshuo, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian accompanied the general Wei Qing to conquer the Huns for his meritorious service, and he was granted the title of Bowanghou. "The flames move, the sword moves, and the sword floats in the rainbow", it is written that the swords and spears of the knights are like frost, and the sword energy is like a rainbow, and the imagery is novel and magnificent. "The Tianshan Mountains snow in winter and summer, crossing the river and flowing north and south. The clouds rise, the dragons and the sand are dark, and the trees fall in the Yanmen in autumn." A few strokes outline the unique seasonal landscapes of the Western Regions, concisely and clearly.

The Chinese nation has been famous for its hospitality since ancient times.Confucius said: "Isn't it a pleasure to have friends come from afar?" Premier Wen Jiabao chose the poem "It's important to make a friend, and we will meet each other a thousand miles away" as the opening line. The welcome of the interview, on the other hand, also shows that in order to promote the exchanges between China and the United States and enhance the friendship and mutual understanding between the two peoples, I will go to the United States for a state visit. I hope that both sides can keep their promises, keep their promises, and cherish China and the United States consensus reached by both parties.
