The Tang Dynasty poet Gao Shi had a famous poem "Don Dong Da":
Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and daylight, the north wind blows geese and snow.
Don't worry about the road ahead, don't know yourself, no one in the world knows the king.
This poem is Gao Shi's most well-known work, and the third and fourth sentences are famous sentences that have been passed down through the ages, and are well known to women and children.
The poem is called "Don't Dong Da", so who is Dong Da?
Dong Da, named Dong Tinglan, was a famous pianist of the Tang Dynasty, who was good at blowing the ancient musical instrument of guizi in the western region (present-day Kuqa County, Xinjiang) and playing the seven-stringed violin.
Because of his outstanding achievements in music, Dong Tinglan had a high reputation in the Tang Dynasty, and many poets had friendships with him.
In the sixth year of Emperor Xuanzong's Tianbao, it was a spring, and the official Shangshu Fang zhen was demoted from the imperial court, and Dong Tinglan, as Fang Zhen's protégé, also had to leave Chang'an.
In the winter of this year, Gao Shi and Dong Tinglan met in Suiyang, at this time Dong Tinglan was still immersed in sadness, and Gao Shi wrote this poem "The Second Song of Don Dong University" in order to comfort this friend:
Its thousand miles of yellow clouds are daylight, and the north wind blows geese and snow. Don't worry about the road ahead and don't know yourself, who in the world doesn't know the king?
His second six were self-pitying and self-pitying, and he left Jingluo for more than ten years. The husband should be poor and unworthy, and today they have no money for alcohol.
Thousands of miles of yellow clouds covered the sky and the sky was dark, and the north wind blew heavy snow on guiyan. Don't worry about the road ahead without a confidant, which one of the world doesn't know you?
We have read many farewell poems, most of which are mainly sad parting, poignant and lingering, and deeply moving. But Gao Shi's "Don Dong Da" is a generous and sad song, which is in stark contrast to the low farewell poem.
"Don't worry about the road ahead and don't know yourself, no one in the world knows the king." These two sentences are a consolation to a friend: Don't worry about not meeting your confidant, which in the world does not know you Dong Tinglan!
When the poet is about to break up, he does not write a thousand sorrows and parting words, but passionately encourages his friends to embark on a journey and meet the future.
How loud and powerful the words are, full of confidence and strength in comfort, and inspire friends to shake their spirits to struggle and fight. In solace, full of faith and strength.
As Gao Shi said in this poem, "Who in the world does not know the king", Dong Tinglan's superb musical skills have impressed many poets, and the Tang Dynasty poet Li Ji has a poem "Listening to Dong Dabang Hu Di And Sending Words to Make Rooms and Give Things", which praises Dong Tinglan's superb artistic level.
"Listen to Dong Dabang Hu Di Lang and Send Message Room to Give Things"
Cai Nu used to make a beard sound, and there were eight beats of one shot and ten.
The Hu people wept and wept the grass, and the Han made the intestines cut off to return to the guests.
The ancient heavens were cold and the wilderness was heavy and snow-white.
First flick the strings and then the horn feathers, and the autumn leaves in the four suburbs are frightened.
Dong Fuzi, Psychic, Fukamatsu eavesdropping on the goblins.
Words are spoken sooner and faster, and the reciprocation will be reciprocating.
The empty mountains and birds are scattered, and the clouds are cloudy and sunny.
The sour chicks lost their flock at night, cutting off the sound of Hu'er's motherly voice.
The river is still and its waves, and the birds are also singing.
The Wusun tribe is far away from its hometown, and the sand and dust are mournful.
The tone of the voice changes suddenly, and the long wind blows the forest rain and falls to the tiles.
The spring flutters and the wood is flying, and the wild deer is walking down the hall.
Chang'an City is connected to the East Gate, and the Phoenix Pond is opposite the Qingzhuo Gate.
Gao Cai stripped away his fame and profits, and looked forward to holding the piano every day.
Dong Tinglan played the famous song "Hu Di Lang" with the piano, and Li Ji listened to Dong Tinglan's piano playing and was so happy that he quickly wrote down this post-listening feeling and praised Dong Tinglan fiercely.
How else can a poet be a poet? Looking at this exaggeration, first of all, when I heard Dong Tinglan play this piece, it was as if I had returned to hundreds of years ago, and when I saw Cai Wenji playing the piano, the pictures of Hu people and Han making people mournful, cang cang gu shu, heavy desolation, beacon fire, and white snow, intertwined into a bleak and sad atmosphere, making people feel the mournful and moving sound of music more and more.
Then, Li Ji said again: Your fingering is handy, back and forth, and the melodious tone is overflowing with passion, as if flowing from the chest of the player.
This is not enough, Li Yi used the method of side foil to praise Dong Tinglan's music: when the piano suddenly and suddenly retracted, it is like an empty mountain, and the birds scatter and reunite. When the tune is low, it is like a floating cloud covering the sky; when it is clear, it is like a cloud opening the sunrise.
The most eye-catching thing is that this poem praising Dong Tinglan was given to Dong Tinglan's boss Fang Zhen, which means: Your doorman is highly skilled, and it is really gratifying that you have such a talent.
Call Yang Fangzhen, praise Dong Tinglan, some people said. Why didn't Li Ji tell that he didn't meet him?
