Why does the poet Wang Wei think of his relatives every festival ?

Because the festival is a day for family reunions, in the past, the Chung Yeung Festival and the family planted dogwood to climb high, but this year when I am alone in a foreign land, I will think of my relatives when I see the people around me reuniting.

This is a poem written by Wang Wei when he was seventeen years old. At that time, his parents and brothers were both in his hometown east of Huashan, and he lived alone in Chang'an, Kyoto, where he often felt lonely and lonely. Especially when it comes to festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chongyang Festival, I miss my relatives even more.

"Thinking of relatives every festival" is from Wang Wei's "Memories of Shandong Brothers on September 9th".

On the day of the Chung Yeung Festival, every family will happily climb the heights to play, and at this moment the poet Wang Wei is alone in a foreign land, and his parents and relatives are not around. Thinking that his brother is far away from his hometown, he should also be sticking a dogwood on his head at this moment, looking into the distance, but there is one less "me".

Every festive season, the poet will watch every family play, and the longing for his relatives will intensify.

Because of "being alone in a foreign land as a stranger", the wanderer who is wandering away naturally misses his relatives during the festival.

Because when I celebrate the holidays, I often think of the time I spent with my relatives in the past, and naturally I will think about love.

Wang Wei was a precocious writer who wrote many excellent poems when he was a teenager. This poem was written when he was seventeen years old. Unlike his later landscape poems, which were full of painting and elaborate on composition and color, this lyrical poem is written very simply.

But for thousands of years, people who read this poem while visiting a foreign country have felt its artistic power strongly. This kind of artistic power comes first of all from its simplicity, profundity and high degree of artistic generalization.

The poem was written because of the Chung Yeung Festival and the longing for relatives in his hometown. Wang Wei's home in Puzhou (now Yongji, Shanxi), in the east of Huashan, so the title is "Remembering Shandong Brothers". When he wrote this poem, he was probably seeking fame in Chang'an.

Although the prosperous imperial capital was very attractive to the young scholars who were enthusiastic at that time, for a young wanderer, it was a "foreign land" without relatives after all; And the more prosperous and lively it is, the more lonely and unaccompanied the wanderer in the vast sea of people.

The first sentence uses one word "alone" and two "different" words, which are very weighty. The thoughts of relatives and the feelings of one's own lonely situation are all condensed in this word "independence". "A foreign land is a stranger", but the artistic effect caused by the two words "different" is much stronger than that of a guest in a foreign land.

In the feudal era when the natural economy dominated the situation, the climate, human feelings, language, and living habits between different regions were very different. "Stranger" and "stranger" are simple and true expressions of this feeling.

The homesickness of a guest in a foreign country naturally exists on weekdays, but sometimes it does not have to be revealed, but once encountering a certain catalyst is the most common. It is a "festive season" that can easily break out, and even be irrepressible. This is the so-called "thinking of relatives every festive season".

The festive season is often a day for family reunions, and it is often associated with many perfect memories of the scenery of the hometown, so it is very natural to "think of your relatives every festive season". It can be said that everyone has this kind of experience, but before Wang Wei, no poet has successfully expressed it with such unpretentious and highly generalized verses. And once the poet said it, it became the aphorism-style aphorism that can best express the feelings of homesickness in the guest.

September 9th Memories of Shandong Brothers is a poem by Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty.

The full text is as follows: Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is more than a family.

The remote knowledge brothers ascended to the heights, and there was one less person in the dogwood.

This lyrical poem written by Wang Wei when he was a teenager is different from his later landscape poems that are full of painting and very particular about composition and color, and are written very simply. But the poem has a strong power to move people's hearts, especially to people who are visiting foreign places. This strength, first of all, comes from its simplicity, profundity and high generalization.

Because Wang Wei is alone and far away from home, he misses his relatives more every time he celebrates the New Year's holidays, which is human nature. This is from Wang Wei's "Memories of Shandong Brothers on September 9th", the whole poem is: Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking of relatives every festival.

The remote knowledge brothers ascended to the heights, and there was one less person in the dogwood.

Wang Wei's hometown of Puzhou (now Yongji, Shanxi) is in the east of Huashan, so it is entitled "Remembering the Shandong Brothers". September 9 is also the Chung Yeung Festival. The first sentence uses two words "different", which seem to blurt out, but it has a unique taste to render the loneliness of being a guest in a foreign land. From "every time".

In terms of two words, doubling the sense of loneliness is not unique to this festival, but has been experienced in many previous festivals. It is precisely the loneliness that has been suppressed for a long time, especially now, that the poet spits out the festive family complex condensed in the depths of his heart. Because the phrase "thinking of relatives every festival" is extremely vigilant, it is owned by everyone and unprecedented in people's mouths, and it has aroused widespread resonance for thousands of years.

For the ancients, after the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, they were separated from their relatives, and when they arrived at the Chongyang Festival, they would inevitably recall the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the feelings of longing were more profound.

For people now, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the National Day, and most people go home to visit relatives, but after the festival, most people return to their places of work, so after the Double Ninth Festival, not only young people, but also the elderly will have a stronger feeling of missing their relatives.

And this includes the weather factor, the autumn is crisp, which will cause subtle changes in people's psychology, and they are more sensitive to emotions.

That's because since ancient times, "festive season" is a day for the whole family to reunite. When it comes to the "festive season", whether it is a family member who is working, they will rush home as much as possible to reunite with their families. The poet Wang Wei was adrift, and when he wrote this poem, he wanted to express his homesickness.

Because everyone is busy in normal times, everyone will get together to celebrate the festival and enjoy happiness every festival, and Wang Wei is in a foreign country for a long time and wants to have his mother, wife and children, and he can't reunite with his relatives every festival, and his feelings of missing relatives naturally increase.

The poet Wang Wei wrote in "Remembering Shandong Brothers on September 9th": Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking of relatives every festival. Therefore, the reason why it "thinks of relatives every festival" is that it is a stranger in a foreign land.

Missing your loved ones is a universal emotion! In ancient times, transportation and communication were extremely difficult things. And once you become an official, it can be said that as long as you are not retired, you will not be able to return to your hometown.

The desire to reunite relatives during the holiday season is relatively strong. Wang Wei just happened to write a poem and said it and it was widely circulated.

Why does the poet Wang Wei think about his relatives every festival, because not only Wang Wei, but also every festival, we ordinary people also think about their relatives every festival, whenever there is a festival, I think of my relatives, and when the festival is a day for the whole family to reunite.

Because people are far away from their hometowns, people who think of their hometowns every New Year's holiday are thinking of their relatives every festival.

This festival is not every festival, but specifically refers to the Double Ninth Festival, on this day, relatives and friends in the clan will gather together to climb high and look far away, but at this time the poet is far away in a foreign land, usually very nostalgic, this Double Ninth Festival is even more nostalgic, so it is double the homesickness.

The poet lives alone in a different place, and in the festival of the delegation, he can't help but think of the people and things in his hometown, mountains and waters, and other good memories of the poet's hometown, all kinds of memories trigger the poet's infinite homesickness, and the more he thinks about it, the more he misses, so that he is out of control.

Why is it because every time it comes? Why is it because I miss my relatives every festive season? Because every festive season is a day for relatives to reunite, if relatives are far away, he will miss them very much.

Because the festive season is a day for relatives and friends to gather in their hometown, and they are alone with the lonely bed.

In fact, we Chinese pay attention to that holiday reunion, so in fact, we Chinese pay attention to that holiday reunion, so when it comes to the festival, if the family is not there, we especially miss and miss it doubly.

Because he misses his family.

Because every festival comes, families will be reunited.

Wang Wei is a stranger in a foreign land, and he misses his relatives every festival.

Wandering alone as a guest in a foreign land, he doubles his thoughts of his relatives when the festive season comes. Thinking that my brothers are all ascending today, I am missing a relative when I am planted all over the dogwood.

This poem writes about the wanderer's homesickness and nostalgia; At the beginning of the poem, he is close to the topic, writing about the loneliness and sadness of life in a foreign land, so he is always nostalgic for homesickness, and when he encounters a good festival, he misses it even more. Then the poem jumped to write about the brothers who were far away from home.

This poem is "Remembering Shandong Brothers on September 9th". Wang Wei was only 17 years old when he wrote this poem, and Wang Wei was wandering alone between Luoyang and Chang'an, and September 9 was the Double Ninth Festival. Wang Wei looked at the lively scene on Chang'an Street, but he didn't have any relatives and friends around him, so he felt very lonely.

The excitement of the festival makes his lonely heart even more lonely, so every time he comes to the festival, he misses his family and friends even more.

Because every time I go home and have a reunion, Wang Wei, who is alone outside, sees this phenomenon and thinks of his relatives every festival.

This is because the festive season is the time for relatives to reunite, and Wang Wei is in a foreign land, thinking that he can't return to his relatives. Babies will feel homesick during the festive season.

Maybe his relatives passed away very early, and he likes to play around, and he misses his relatives even more when he encounters festivals.
