After Lu Zhaolin claimed that his Lu surname was Jiang Taigong, he was brilliant from an early age, and at the age of twelve, he left his parents and went out to study, and then received the guidance of the famous scholars Cao Xian and Wang Yifang at that time, coupled with his hard work, so that his talent burst forth, his knowledge of the past and the present, which made people look at him with astonishment, and his career was also extremely optimistic.
Before he was twenty years old, Lu Zhaolin entered the DPRK as an official, but he was arrogant and arrogant, and was ostracized, resulting in imprisonment, and was finally released from prison after the hard work of his friends. After his release from prison, Lu Zhaolin, who could have made a great achievement, suffered from illness, and because of his low official position and lack of money to see a doctor, his life was extremely poor. Tormented by illness, Lu Zhaolin chose to end his life at the age of less than fifty.
A life of official ups and downs, and suffering from diseases, his poems contain the sadness of hero loss. In the sick bed life of more than ten years, he wrote a large number of poems on the subject of illness in his lifetime, pinning his bitterness and sorrow on the poems, clearly reflecting the poet's unique life experience, and also allowing readers to feel the difficulties of the poet's life. In addition, these poems on the subject of illness are the tests and struggles of the poet through life and death, so that the world has to sympathize with his tragic experience.
The disease deprived him of his ideals and pursuits, deprived him of his dignity as a man of economic independence, deprived him of the beautiful experience of life, deprived him of the right to share the joy of the world with his family, and deprived him of the opportunity to spend time with friends. Under the sad and harsh reality, his longing for his hometown has become more and more intense, which is reflected in his works, and also makes his works shock the hearts of readers and be very moved.
The disease was a flying disaster, and Lu Zhaolin had to stay away from the crowd and live alone. Because of the bumps in his career, he had the idea of being in the market, but his heart had already gone to the mountains and forests. His yearning for freedom, illness and official encounters made him desperately need freedom, and he was eager to change the status quo and regain his life, an idea that was extremely evident in Lu Zhaolin's later poems.
Because of his great talent, the Confucian idea of actively joining the WTO has been hovering in his mind, because he has been ill for a long time, so that his grand pursuit has vanished, he shed heroic tears every day in loneliness and pain, in the consumption of his talents, is not willing to accept a lifetime, but also a sense of helplessness about the status quo, but also has a good hope for the future, hoping to realize his life pursuit and give play to his own life value.
Loneliness and illness accompany the memories of the past. Lu Zhaolin often reminisces about the beauty of the past in his poems, and the spirit of pursuing ideals and study stimulates his desire for happiness and stimulates his desire for life. He uses poetry to record the beautiful scenes of the past, reveling in them, but also comforting himself, so that he can forget his bitterness for a short time.
When he realized that ideals and pursuits were no longer possible, Lu Zhaolin was afraid and empty, and he wanted to get rid of the shackles of this state of mind and choose Buddha and Tao to find a way to cleanse the soul. With the passage of time, Lu Zhaolin gained the meaning of life, and he kept thinking, trying to forget his suffering and find the liberation of life. In the later poems, the poet's detached state of mind is reflected, and the poetic connotation is sublimated.
Finally, a small story about Lu Zhaolin is told. It is said that when he was ill, he worshipped the "medicine king" Sun Simiao as his teacher. He admired Sun Simiao, who also gave him a cure and composed a poem "Sick Pear Tree Endowment" to express his respect and admiration for his mentor.
