The translation of Bai Juyi, the truth of Bai Juyi, the truth of Bai Juyi

Translation: Bai Juyi.

Participated in the imperial examination for the first time.

Fame is not yet powerful. Visiting the famous poet Gu Qian, Gu Gu saw the word "Bai Juyi", so he said humorously: "Chang'an prices are expensive, I'm afraid it is not easy to live in Bai!" ”

Wait until you read "Farewell to the Ancient Grass".

"Leave the grass on the plain."

One year old and one withered; The wildfire burns inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows again", I couldn't help but be amazed, and immediately changed my tone, and said solemnly: "It is easy to write such a poem!" Since then, Bai Juyi's poetry has become famous.

Original text: Shangshu Bai Juyi should be lifted, when he first arrived in Beijing, he wrote "taking care of the situation" with poetry. Seeing the name, he looked at Bai Gong and said:

The price of rice is expensive, and it is easy to live. "It is tired, and the first article says, "Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withering." Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.

But he said: "If you have a word, it is easy to live." "Because of its reputation, it has become famous.

Bai Juyi had just been admitted to the Jinshi and had just arrived in the capital, using songs and poems to send care for the situation. Gu Guo looked at his name and teased him: "The price of goods in Chang'an is very high, and it is not easy to live here."

After reading the first article, "Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered." The wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows again", and he appreciated that he could write such a sentence. What's so hard about living here?

Since then, Bai Juyi's poetry has become famous.

At the age of sixteen, Bai Juyi went to the capital to take the imperial examination. In the examination at that time, candidates openly inscribed their names on the test papers, and the test papers were not sealed. When the examiner decides the candidate's "to take the high", the quality of the candidate's answer is only a small part, and more importantly, the candidate's poems and prestige on weekdays should also take care of the opinions of the recommender, the face of the intercessor, and the favor of the powerful.

Therefore, many candidates for the examination will increase the possibility of passing the examination, and they will add their daily poems and texts, and before the examination, they will present them to those who have a position and influence in the social, political, and literary circles at the time, and ask them to recommend them to the priest of the Ministry of Rites, who is presiding over the examination, so as to increase their hope of success. Bai Juyi will be his own'The poetry collection was voted to the celebrities of the time. This person is very talented, but he has an arrogant temper and looks down on the articles of his juniors.

If he can read the poems twice in a row, he will be considered superior. Therefore, many people dare not enter the door when they send poems, so the door of his house is jokingly called "iron door close, golden key".

Bai Juyi went to the mansion to present his poems. As soon as he saw that Bai Juyi was a young man who had not dried up, he already disagreed with it. When I took the poetry collection and looked at it, it said "Taiyuan Bai Juyi's Poems", and I thought that this young man was not humble, so I made fun of him and said:

It is easy to live in a famous place, but I am afraid that the price of rice in Chang'an is too expensive, and it is not easy to live. Bai Juyi heard the sneer in his words, but he didn't say a word. When I opened the poetry collection, the first thing that caught my eye was a poem "Farewell to the Ancient Grass":

Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered. Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. As soon as I finished reading the first four sentences, I couldn't help but praise aloud: "Good poem!"

remembered his sarcastic words just now, and said to Bai Juyi approvingly: "If you can write such a sentence, don't say it's Chang'an, it's the whole world, you can also 'Juyi'!" At that time, someone joked about two sentences:

Gu Caizi opened the golden key, and Bai Lotian smashed through the iron door. Since then, Bai Juyi has become famous in Beijing, and his career is proud.

Original text: Lotte was the first to move, the name was not revitalized, and he took care of the situation with songs and poems, and said: "Chang'an is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place."

And read to the grass clouds on the plain: "Wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows." "Said:

There is a saying, why is it difficult to live? The ear of the old man's foreword! ”

Translation: At the age of sixteen, the poet went to Chang'an to take the test and visit the famous poet. When he saw the word "Bai Juyi", he said humorously

The price of Chang'an is expensive, I am afraid it is not easy to live in vain! And read the scroll in "Endowed with the Grass on the Plain", "Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered; The wildfire burns inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows again", I couldn't help but be amazed, and immediately changed my tone, and said solemnly: "It is easy to write such a poem!"

Since then, Bai Juyi's poetry has become famous.

If you have real talent and real learning, it is easy to live in Chang'an, even if it is expensive. If there is no real talent and real learning, the expensive Chang'an will not be able to stay.

The enlightenment to us today is that we must improve our own quality and enhance our own skills, so that even if it is difficult to get a hukou in Beijing, the consumption level in Shanghai is high, and the housing of Guangzhou residents is expensive, we will definitely have a place.
