It's from Li He's Mourning for Zhang Ru in Tang Dynasty. Original: brocade, embroidered crotch. Drink and peck hard and feed your children. Don't believe that Cage Media will go to Longxi, because it is full of rain. Qi people weave empty webs and stretch out in the wilderness. The mesh is cold and invisible, and the first red is accidentally injured. Who cut the green flowers of mugwort leaves, no one can figure it out.
This is a beautiful contrast poem. Comparing birds with the weak and the good, birds with power and various powerful social beams, and comparing birds with the interpersonal relationship of feudal officialdom, the whole feudal society is described as a terrible trap.
These true meanings are completely hidden in the artistic image, and there is no clear statement from beginning to end. In this way, readers can use their own experience to understand the meaning of images, which not only broadens the meaning of images, but also increases the interest of poetry, making people never tire of eating.
Reading this poem should be related to the poet's rough experience. At the age of eighteen, Li Hexi went to Chang 'an to take the Jinshi exam. Because he is not good at walking, the jealous people excused Li Jinsu's name for his father. "Jin" is homophonic with the word "Jin" of a recent Jinshi, so we should avoid his father and cancel his examination qualification.
Deeply wronged, Han Yu wrote a famous "Debate on Taboo" and angrily questioned: "The father's name is Jin Su, but the son can't be a scholar; Father's name is benevolence, but son can't be human? " But this just struggle not only failed to get Li He into the examination room.
On the contrary, even Han Yu has become the object of tinkering around the edges in the class. This sudden blow completely destroyed Li Herong's hope of serving the country and seriously damaged the poet's body and mind. Later, after various struggles, he did not reverse his bad luck. He only lived for twenty-seven years, and then he died angrily. This Yuefu poem is first of all an artistic summary of his own life experience.
