The Southern Song Dynasty relied on the last meager strength to settle down and confront the Jin people. At that time, the social atmosphere was extremely corrupt, "treacherous court officials came forth in large numbers" and the literary world was in an uproar. Lu You was disappointed with the imperial court, helpless with the society and worried about the trend of the literary world.
Write: this is a green lamp that does not return to the guests, but it is left because of the turbid wine. Starlight does not ask passers-by, and time pays off. Because you are dissatisfied with the authorities and want to make a living, you don't care about the world. But I am greedy for the glass of wine in the world of mortals and can't let it go. Starlight once asked passers-by to remind people that the road is only on their own. In the long river of years, we have never failed a firm heart.
Two. Interpretation of cultural background: Lu traveled all over the world, with profound knowledge and extensive knowledge. This poem should be classified as Zen poetry. As a religious doctrine, Buddhism has gradually influenced China culture since it was introduced to China in the Han Dynasty. Lu You is not a devout Buddhist Wei, Bai Juyi and Du Fu. However, as can be seen from this poem, Lu You's Buddhism is not worse than them, and has even surpassed them.
"This is the first time the green light does not return to the guest, but it is because the wine is turbid." Classic famous sentences are catchy to read and memorable. Later, in A Dream of Red Mansions, Cao Xueqin also wrote a poem "Ancient Buddha with Blue Lights". A blue lantern with an ancient Buddha on it, half practicing and half possessed. After the world of mortals sees through this life, they are willing to be with Deng Qing's ancient Buddha! Light up the ancient Buddha's life and live up to the Tathagata.
Three. Inspirational Psalm: Although we said we would never return to the world of mortals, in the end ... time and tide wait for no man. It shows the poet's unwillingness to the future of his career and his concern about the rise and fall of the country's destiny. Encourage yourself and others, and God helps those who help themselves.
It still has profound educational significance. The power of poetry comes from the appeal, and the appeal comes from the artistic conception of poetry. Although Lu You's life is a life of ups and downs, he is in a declining dynasty. The character and integrity of literati are consistent and indomitable, which is an example for us to learn. Generally speaking, this poem by Lu You is a combination of Zen, emotion, literature and ambition, and it is also a work with good expressive force and ambition.
