The writing background of Gift of Flowers , the writing background and author of Gift of Flowers

In China's feudal society, the etiquette system was extremely strict, and even if it was **, there were unusually clear hierarchical boundaries. According to the "Old Tang Book", after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Gaozu Li Yuan immediately ordered Taichang Shaoqing's ancestor Xiaosun to test the Tang Dynasty Yale, "Emperor Linxuan, play Taihe; The princes went in and out, playing Shu and peacefully; The crown prince Xuan hung in and out, playing Chenghe; ......These music systems are all the established laws of the current dynasty, and if they are slightly violated, they are disordered and rebellious. Hua Qing, whose name is Jingding, is a general of Chengdu Yin Cui Guangyuan, and has made meritorious contributions to counterinsurgency.

But he was arrogant, arrogant and lawless, and indulged his soldiers to plunder Dongshu; There is no court in his eyes, and he usurps the Son of Heaven**. Du Fu gave poems to give euphemistic satire.

This poem was written around 761 (the second year of the previous century). Du Fu often traveled to various places. One day, Du Fu came to Hua Jingding's house and heard melodious music in Hua Qing's house.

The music is so beautiful that Du Fu sighed very much, so he improvised and wrote this poem, praising the music as a rare heavenly fairy music in the world.

Hua Qing is a flower of respect. At that time, a general stationed in Chengdu once put down a local rebellion and was proud of his achievements. Pursue pleasure and treat yourself every day, play songs and dances. Du Fu's poem, on the surface, praises the beauty of singing and dancing, but there is some irony in his bones.

The gist of the poem: The ** in Jinguan City is constantly ringing every day, and half of the music floats to the river and half of it floats like clouds. This beautiful music can only be heard in the sky, but how many times can it be heard on earth?

This is a seven-character quatrain, the first two sentences of which describe the music in a concrete way, which is realistic; The last two sentences boast of the heavenly fairy music, which is reverie. Because of the real and the virtual, the virtual and the real are born together, and the beauty of the music is praised to the extreme. Qiu Zhaoao of the Qing Dynasty commented in the "Detailed Notes on Du Poems":

This poem is gorgeous and fluent, frustrated and suppressed, although Taibai (Li Bai) and Shaobo (Wang Changling), it cannot be surpassed. The first sentence points to the topic, and the next sentence is the transfer, which is the quatrain of the law. ”

This poem is literally simple and easy to understand, and it is as clear as words, but there have always been many objections to its theme. Some people think that it is just a praise piece, and there is no off-string sound; Some people think that it is used to ridicule Hua Qing. In connection with the author's attitude towards life and creative spirit, and in combination with the writing background and specific poetic meaning of this poem, the latter is preferable.

As Yang Shen of the Ming Dynasty said in "Sheng'an Poems": "(Huaqing) Shu is also a brave general, arrogant." Du Gong's poem ridiculed his arrogance of the Son of Heaven.

And it is subtle and not revealed, and there is a wind that people say that they are not guilty, and those who hear it are enough to quit. Shen Deqian's "Speaking of Poetry" in the Qing Dynasty also said: "The poetry is noble, there is something to say here, and the intention is the other, Du Shaoling's thorn flower is respectful, and he wants to make a new song in the sky."

This poem was composed around 761 A.D. (the second year of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty). Hua Jingding once made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, was proud of his achievements, arrogant and lawless, and indulged his soldiers to plunder Dongshu; There is no court in his eyes, and he uses the pure jujube of the Son of Heaven. Du Fu gave this poem as a euphemistic satire.

Du Fu (712 770), the word Zimei, self-named Shaoling Ye Lao, known as "Du Gong Stool Code Department", "Du Shaoling", etc., Han nationality, Henan Province Gong County (now Gongyi City, Henan Province), the great realist poet of the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu was respected by the world as the "poet saint", and his poems are called "poetry history".

The first two sentences of "Giving Flowers" depict the specific image of the music, which is realistic; The last two sentences boast of the heavenly fairy music, which is reverie. Because of the real and the virtual, the virtual and the real are born together, and the beauty of the music is praised to the extreme. This poem is dynamic and quiet, tactful and subtle, and intriguing.

"Giving Flowers" is the work of the great poet Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty, the original text is: Jincheng silk pipe day after day, half into the river wind and half into the clouds. This song should only be in the sky, how many times can the world hear it?

Translation: The beautiful and melodious music floats in the sky over Jincheng all day long, gently rippling on the waves of the Jinjiang River, and rising leisurely into the white clouds. Such a wonderful **, it should only be enjoyed by the gods, how many times can the common people in the world hear it in their lives?

This poem was composed in the second year of the reign of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty (761). Hua Jingding once made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, was proud of his achievements, arrogant and lawless, and indulged his soldiers to plunder Dongshu; There is no court in his eyes, and he usurps the Son of Heaven**. Du Fu gave this poem as a euphemistic satire.

Du Fu, whose name is beautiful, is self-named Shaoling Ye Lao, a great realist poet of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Bai is collectively called "Li Du". Du Fu's influence on classical Chinese poetry is very far-reaching, and he is called the "poet saint" by later generations, and his poems are called "poetry history". Later generations called it Du Shiji, Du Gong Department, and also called him Du Shao regret Fuling, Du Caotang.

Comment

1.Hua Qing: That is, Hua Jingding, a military general of the Tang Dynasty, once pacified the rebellion of Duan Zizhang. Du Fu's "Drama Huaqing Song" "Chengdu Mengjiang has Huaqing, and the children know their names", that is, this Huaqing. Qing: Honorific title.

2.Jincheng: Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. Wire Pipe: String Instruments, Wind Instruments, This Generation**. Plentiful: Numerous and chaotic. This should mean "prosperous".

3.Half into the river breeze and half into the clouds: the music drifts with the river wind, drifts to the river, and drifts into the clouds. "Half in" is not half of each.

4.There is heaven in the sky: compare it with fairy music.

5.A few times to smell: A few times to hear. It means that it is rarely heard in the world.

Appreciation

The first two sentences of this poem are written in Chengdu ** prosperous, playing non-stop every day, and the music is floating everywhere. The last two sentences turned, saying that this kind of ** is only available in heaven and is difficult to hear in the world, thus praising the superb beauty of Chengdu**. For the best songs, later generations often quote these two sentences to praise.

**In "Caiyun Returns", when Xiulan sang the song that her husband was selected, Tao Yezhi said: "Tonight is a perfect match, making people unforgettable!" Cough!

No wonder the ancients said: 'This song should only exist in the sky, and how many times can it be heard in the world'! ”

This poem was written in the second year of the reign of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty.
