People will get old, no matter how handsome you are
People get old. No matter how merry, brave and handsome you were when you were young, when the sunset of life shines on your face, you can only sigh "helpless flowers fall", and feel powerless about "time is gone".
As we all know, Xin Qiji, a literary and military all-rounder in the Southern Song Dynasty, is not only a well-known anti-gold hero, but also a powerful fighter in the world of words. When he was young, he was full of enthusiasm, determined to serve the country, fought in the south and the north, and fought against gold. In between battles, he also danced and wrote ink, wrote poems and lyrics, and chanted the wind and the moon. It's a pity that because the imperial court is partial to peace and unwilling to go on the Northern Expedition, Xin Qiji "has the intention to plant flowers and flowers but does not bloom" in the fight against gold, and after many years of hardship, it was in vain, but he "had no intention of planting willows and willows into the shade" and became the uncrowned king of the word world.
The imperial court didn't want to reuse Xin Qiji, so they let him go to Chuzhou Zhizhou, and let him have nothing to do every day, so he had to "do his best to obey the destiny of heaven".
Xin Qi's ambition to fight against the disease was not rewarded, but he became the uncrowned king of the word world
The governor of Chuzhou is equivalent to the current mayor, which is said to be amazing. The mayor of a city, the big man of a party, the power is not too small. However, Xin Qiji was not satisfied, because he was not determined to be an official, but to fight against gold to serve the country and recover the lost territory, and it was not what he wanted to be sent to every day. Therefore, when he sent a colleague to Lin'an to take up his post, he wrote a poem "Magnolia Slow": "The old taste is reduced, and the wine is not good, and the years are timid." The situation is only the Mid-Autumn Festival, a very good month, not according to the round. Ruthless water, don't care, the west wind, just waiting to be sent back to the ship. On the perch river in the autumn evening, in front of the children's lamps in the middle of the night. Recruit shirts, and you can go to the sky. The Jade Hall is thinking about the sage. I want to be bright in the middle of the night, stay and see the grass, but I am sent to the side. The old man of Chang'an asked me, the Tao is ordinary, and the mud wine is still there. The geese fall in the autumn sky, and the empty strings sound when drunk. ”
This word is different from the previous word. Xin Qiji is known for his boldness, and most of the words written on the battlefield are "Iron Horse Autumn Wind" and the like. Now that he has left the battlefield and is addicted to personnel, he has no choice but to change his words into words. Looking at this song "Magnolia Slow", there is only one word that is focused on throughout the whole article, that is, the word "love", but this love is by no means the love of children, but the love of life, the love of family and country, and the love of old friends. However, the strange thing about this poem is that it is affectionate but not tired, and affectionate but not emotional. Although there are two words of "love" in the word, one is "less emotional" and the other is "ruthless water". is obviously emotionless and ruthless, how can it be related to heavy affection and deep affection?
The old taste is reduced, and the wine is timid
Xin Qiji's youthful volunteering has never diminished, and he still misses it until his old age. However, life is impermanent, and many things are not as good as heaven, and often backfire. In the process of leading the troops to resist Jin, he obviously won the fighter several times, but he fell short because of the constraints of the imperial court. Xin Qiji couldn't help but feel indignant.
In this song "Magnolia Slow", the beginning is clear, saying that "the taste of old age is reduced, and the taste of farewell wine is timid". He felt that he was aging in his life and had achieved nothing, not only feeling guilty in his heart, but also complaining. Actually, is Xin Qiji old? No. At the age of thirty-two, he was in the prime of life, but he was secretly cast by Mingzhu, which made the hero useless, so he could only sigh like this. It can be seen that Xin Qiji attaches great importance to life. Because he knows that life is short, he can't help but say that he is afraid of the passing years when he faces the farewell wine. It's not that time is old, it's not that people are old, but that the heart is old. In the current official position, there is no interest at all, not old age, but more like old age.
It's not that time is old, it's not that people are old, but that the heart is old
However, Xin Qiji did not give up his feelings for his family and country. If you can't do it yourself, you hope that your friends will work hard to do it. Although he was angry and complained about the court, his hopes for the court were never dashed. He said in his words that "the Jade Palace is thinking of the sage", that is, he still has a glimmer of hope for the imperial court, and wants to let his colleagues go to the imperial court to do their best to complete their unfinished business. It can be seen that Xin Qiji still attaches great importance to Jiangshan Sheji. Although he feels that "the old taste has decreased", the feelings of family and country have not diminished at all.
In the words, Xin Qiji instructed his colleagues that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and they must return by boat, and they must reunite with their families and children to enjoy the joy of family. If an old friend asks him how he is now, he will say that everything is ordinary and there is no need to worry about it. Xin Qiji's words came and went, and he talked about others, but he didn't mention his family at all. Xin Qiji has his hometown, parents, wife and children, and is busy with military affairs and government affairs all day long, so he has no time to be filial to his relatives, but he earnestly entrusts his colleagues between the lines, which shows that he has a deep affection for his colleagues and old friends.
"The taste of old age is reduced" is just Xin Qiji's helpless words
"The taste of old age is reduced" is just Xin Qiji's helpless words. How could he let go of his youthful ambitions? When we get old, are we also "getting old"? Perhaps, when people reach old age, they have lost their interest in many things because they have experienced too many things. For example, when you are young, you drink more than a lot, and you vow not to give up until you get drunk and fall into the bright moon. But, what about now? They all said that they couldn't drink anymore. In fact, needless to say, it is old. However, this is also good, when you are old, drinking a moderate amount of alcohol is good for your health. Another example, when he was young, he loved the road and saw injustice, drew a knife to help, and did a lot of things like fighting. But, what about now? When I saw the excitement, I laughed. It's not that we don't want to take care of it, it's that we don't have enough spare energy to manage it. Another example, when I was young, I was kind and loving, and if I didn't see each other for a day, I talked about love as if I was going to stick together. But, what about now? Even if her lover was once a beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city, after most of her life, she has long been aesthetically fatigued. Don't say that you are still in love like when you were young, even a love word is no longer difficult to say. "The taste of old age is reduced" can be seen to be true.
When you are young, you are passionate, and when you are older, you can't do anything
However, the meaning of life is not to get drunk when drinking, to scrap a fight, or to talk about love, but when drinking, don't just think about "life must be happy", but also consider "don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon", like Li Bai, "there will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea", to break into the world and make some due contributions; But when fighting, don't just rely on a momentary arrogance, but also think about the causes and consequences, laws and regulations, and heavy responsibilities, like Lu You, "get on the horse to fight the crazy Hu, get off the horse and write the military book", and use the steel on the blade; But when talking about love, don't be carried away by love, be like Li Shangyin, "the spring silkworm dies to the end, and the wax torch turns to ashes and tears begin to dry", learn to be responsible, take responsibility, be loyal for a lifetime, and have no regrets about love.
Therefore, even if we are old, we should not "lose the taste of old age", if it is meaningful, we must achieve "old love is not reduced", that is, the interest of old age will not be reduced at all. In this way, we can grow old and strong, can old trees bloom new flowers, and can we live younger.
"The love of old age is not reduced", so that the old tree can bloom new flowers and live a young life
