The song dynasty masters are like clouds, and the most eye-catching gemini stars are Su Shi and Xin Shuyi, who are as good to Song Ci as Li Bai and Du Fu are to Tang poetry. However, the poetic styles of Li Bai and Du Fu are quite different, one is a free and handsome romantic poet, and the other is a depressed and frustrated realist poet. The word style of Su Shi and Xin Abandoned Disease is very similar, and they belong to the representative figures of the Same Faction, Su Shi has the pride of "going east of the great river, the waves are exhausted, and the characters of the ancient winds", and Xin Abandoned Disease also has the ambition of "but the king of the world, winning the name of the posthumous".
However, the style of words is bold, but there is still a difference between the two in terms of writing techniques. Su Shi's lyrics more often give people the feeling of being at their fingertips, and they only feel extremely happy after reading them; but many times although Xin Shuyi's words feel passionate after reading, some of them are difficult to understand. The reason for this is mainly that there is a major feature when Xin Abandoning Disease writes words, that is, he loves to use dictionaries, and if he does not know much about the allusions used in his words, then it is not easy to read the words of Xin Abandoned Disease.
For example, on the stage of the poetry conference, there was a question:
What does the "Buddha Fox" in Xin Ren's "Can I look back, under the Buddha's Temple, a piece of divine crow temple drum"?
A. Is the fox, referring to an animal.
B. Fox fairy sacrificed by the local people.
C. Northern Wei Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao.
The verse in this title comes from Xin's famous work "Yong Yu Le Jingkou Beiguting Huaigu", which was written in textbooks when I was in school. Moreover, the contestants who came to the stage of the poetry conference were called "poetry masters", so at that time, the author felt that this question was so simple, there should be no one who answered it wrong. But the result surprised me a little, when the problem overwhelmed the 33 players on the scene. And the 33 people who answered incorrectly, most of their choices were B.
And the reason why they are wrong is largely because they have made the mistake of taking it for granted. Literally, there are "ancestral halls" here, and there are "divine crows", so the gods and gods are nagging, it seems that choosing answer B should be no problem. But in fact, this song contains a series of allusions, if these allusions are not clear, it is easy to fall into the misunderstanding of assumptions. So what does the "Buddha Fox" here mean? Let's walk into the source of this sentence together to find the answer.
Yuan Jia Cao Cao, sealed the wolf Juxu, won the Canghuang Beigu. Forty-three years, looking at the middle of the memory, Beacon Yangzhou Road. Looking back, under the Buddha's Shrine, a sacred crow club drum. By who asks, honest and old, can you still eat?
"Looking back, under the Buddha's Shrine, a sacred crow drum" comes from the lower part of this word, and there is no direct relationship between the allusions described between its upper and lower temples, so we only look at the lower part of this word, as shown above.
The first three sentences refer to the Northern Expedition of Liu Yilong, the Emperor Wen of the Southern Dynasty. He had three Northern Expeditions, the last of which was in the twenty-seventh year of Yuan Jia, when he listened to the strategy of the Northern Expedition of Xuan Mo, the Prince of Pengcheng Taishou, and could not help but sigh" Hearing Xuan Mo Chen said, people had the intention of sealing the wolf. This means that I feel that the northern expedition will definitely be successful. However, at that time, they were greedy and aggressive, eager to achieve success, and in the end they did not achieve victory, but on the contrary, they attracted a large-scale invasion of the south by Northern Wei Tuoba Tao.
The next three sentences are Xin's exclamations. Forty-three years ago, he was fighting against the Jin army in the area north of Yangzhou. Forty-three years have now passed, but there has been no progress in recovering the lost land, and the sadness and indignation of ambition can be imagined. And "can look back, under the Buddha's Fox Temple, a piece of divine crow shrine drum" is the real scene that turned into the immediate scene after Xin abandoned the disease and xin abandoned the disease, seven or eight hundred years have passed since Tuoba Tao invaded the south, and now the people in the north have forgotten that the Buddha Fox Shrine is the palace of Tuoba Tao, a foreign emperor, and think that it is a place to worship the gods.
Therefore, the "Buddha Fox" here actually refers to the Northern Wei Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao. The description of these few sentences of Xin Zhiyi is actually to tell the Southern Song Dynasty court that the matter of recovering the Central Plains cannot be delayed, and the people of the Central Plains will become accustomed to the rule of foreign races, and it will be impossible to recover the Central Plains at that time.
The last three sentences are "By who asks, honest and old, can you still eat?" "It is the lyricism of Xin Renjie. Although he is old, he is still full of pride and ambition, still has the ability to kill the enemy, and still wants to make contributions to the country. At the same time, there were also his worries, after all, although Lian Po wanted to serve the Zhao State at that time, he was killed by the traitors and had no way to repay the country, and Xin Shuyi was worried that he would do the same.
Through this question of the Poetry Conference and this poem of Xin Shuyi, it is not difficult for us to find that there are indeed many dictionaries in Xin Shuyi's lyrics, and it is really difficult to understand his words without knowing these allusions. It is no wonder that wu Hengzhao, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, commented on Xin Zhiyi in the "Words and Sayings of Lotus Ziju" that "Xin Jiaxuan opened up the world and the earth, crossed the ancient and modern, and wrote a small preface to the treatise, Meng, and poetry... Xuan xue, Li, Du shi, pull miscellaneous use, mi see the steepness of his pen power. ”
In fact, the Poetry Conference also examined what is meant by "sending slaves" in the word "humane slaves have lived"? Do you know the answer to this question? If you know, post it in the comments section.
