Walking out of Xiamen, also known as Longxi West, belongs to Xiangruge tonal tune of ancient Yuefu. "Xiamen" was originally the city gate at the western end of Luoyang city. The Han Dynasty was called Xiamen, and the Wei and Jin Dynasties was called Great Xiamen. There are only two ancient words: "People in the city are easy, and the tomb of a thousand years old is flat" (see Shan Li's note in Selected Works). The Yuefu Poetry Collection also records an ancient poem, Evil Path Goes Over the Empty Lodge, which describes the matter of achieving the Tao as a fairy. This article by Cao Cao, Records of Le Shu in the Song Dynasty, is listed as a Daqu with the title Jieshi Stepping out of Xiamen. Judging from the content of the poem, it has nothing to do with the meaning of the topic, so it can be seen that it is just writing current affairs through ancient inscriptions. The poem begins with the word "Yan" (overture) and is divided into five chapters (chapters): watching the sea, winter in October, a strange land, a turtle living long, and Yan. For example, in the twelfth year of Jian 'an (207), Wu Huan won the Northern Expedition and returned to Li.
In the last years of Han Le, the crowds competed for the Central Plains, and Wuhuan, who lived in western Liaoning, became strong. They attacked the city and plundered the land in the south, which became a serious border problem in Hebei. In the tenth year of Jian 'an (205), Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shao's ruling foundation in Hebei, and Yuan Shao vomited blood and died. His sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, fled to Wuhuan and colluded with Wuhuan nobles many times. At that time, Cao Cao was in a disadvantageous position between the north and the south: Liu Biao and Liu Bei occupied Jingxiang in the south, and yuan brothers and Wuhuan in the north. In order to get rid of the passive situation, Cao Cao adopted the advice of Guo Jia, a counselor, and led his army northward in the summer of the twelfth year of Jian 'an, ending in May and July. In autumn, there was a flood, and the road by the sea was impassable. Later, he accepted Tian Chou's suggestion and changed his course flatly. After Xu Wushan, he went to the Cylon, pointing to Liucheng, and won the first world war. In September, he returned to Li smoothly, passing through Jieshi and other places, and wrote this group of famous poems by borrowing the old title of Yuefu's "Walking out of Xiamen". This poem describes the scenery around Heshuo, expresses personal ambition and embodies the heroic spirit of the poet.
See the boundless ocean
On the east coast, climb Jieshi Mountain to see the vast sea.
The sea is so vast that the islands stand high on the sea.
Trees and paraquat are very lush. Autumn wind makes trees make sad sounds, and the sea is surging.
The movement of the sun and the moon seems to come from the vast ocean.
A trip to the sun and the moon, if unexpected;
Han is a talented star, if you take him by surprise.
I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
As for Cao Cao's coming to Jieshi from the east, it was thought that it was when he was going to northern expedition to Wuhuan. In fact, this view does not conform to historical facts and is not credible. We looked up the records in the History of the Three Kingdoms, the Ji of Emperor Wudi and the Biography of Tian Chou. Cao Cao climbed Jieshi on his way home from the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan. Because he is in a flood, the road near the sea is impassable, so he has to take the path from Xuwushan to western Liaoning. "In September, Gong quoted from Liucheng, and ... Eleven Xiao. He should "visit Jieshi" and "see the sea" in September this year (2007) or at the beginning of 10. As for where Jieshi Mountain is today, there is still controversy in academic circles, either it sank into the sea in Laoting County, Hebei Province, or it was Jieshi Mountain in the north of Changli County, Hebei Province. In any case, when Cao Cao ascends the mountain, it should be a high stone mountain near the sea.
"Jieshi is in the east, looking at the sea. The first two paragraphs point out the position of "watching the sea": the poet climbed to the top of Jieshi Mountain, high in the sea, with a wide view and a panoramic view of the sea. The following ten descriptions are almost all derived from this. " The water is full of water, and the mountains and islands are all scenery "is the general impression of seeing the sea at first, which is a bit like a thick line in the painting." ""Lian Lian "describes the vastness of the sea; "How, how, today's word" how "is a beautiful sigh. If you add beauty to the beauty, you can imagine the vastness of the sea. In this rippling sea, the first thing you see is the towering mountain islands, which are dotted on the flat and wide sea, making the sea look magical and spectacular. These two sentences roughly outline the prospect of the sea, which will be described in depth at different levels below.
"There are many trees and plenty of herbs. The autumn wind is bleak, and Hongbo surges. " The first two sentences specifically describe this mountainous island: although the autumn wind is bleak and the vegetation is withered, the island is lush with trees and rich in herbs, giving people a sense of business. The last two sentences are a further description of the sentence "What is water like?". Look carefully, the sea in the bleak autumn wind is actually a huge wave, surging and undulating. Here, although it is a typical autumn environment, there is nothing bleak and desolate. In the history of China literature, due to the writer's world outlook, situation and other reasons, since Song Yu's "Nine Arguments" opened the first sound of sad autumn literature, how many poets and writers shed tears in the autumn wind, watching the fallen leaves, feeling hurt! Cao, on the other hand, faced the bleak autumn wind and wrote about the vastness of the sea: in the bleak autumn wind, the sea was surging and mighty; The mountain island is tall and straight, with lush vegetation and no fading and sentimental artistic conception. This new realm and new style just reflect his "martyr" mind.
"The trip to the sun and the moon, if unexpected; Xinghan is brilliant, if it is unexpected. " The previous description is observed from the sea. These four sentences are related to the vast universe, presenting the momentum and strength of the sea to readers: the vast sea is connected with the sky and the air is turbid; In front of this magnificent sea, the sun, the moon, the stars and the Han (the Milky Way) are all small, and their operation seems to be freely absorbed by the sea. The sea described by the poet here is not only the real scene in front of him, but also his own imagination and exaggeration, which shows the magnificent atmosphere of the universe and is full of the momentum of "the five mountains start from the square". This kind of "cage cover breathing atmosphere" is the artistic realm of the poet's "eyes" and "chest". (See Zhong Xing's Review of Ancient Poems, Volume 7) From the heart, a poet would never have written such a magnificent poetic scene without great political ambition, ambition to make contributions and optimism about the future. In the past, some people said that Cao Cao's poems were "domineering" (in Shen Deqian), referring to works such as Looking at the Sea. Of course, "domineering" is a kind of ridicule, but if "domineering" is understood as the ambition to unify China, then this kind of artistic appreciation is still desirable.
"Fortunately, Lian, the song is to be sung." This is a group of words in the chorus, which has nothing to do with the content of the poem and needs no elaboration.
Literally, the sea, mountain islands, vegetation, autumn wind, and even the sun, moon and stars are all immediate scenery. This poem describing natural scenery seems to have never been written by Cao Cao in the history of China literature. It not only describes the whole landscape, but also has its own style. It is the earliest masterpiece of landscape poetry in China, especially loved by literary historians. It is worth pointing out that the objective natural scenery reflected in the poet's mind must be subjectively filtered by the poet-understanding, blending, selecting and emphasizing, and then form an artistic product. This product is not only the reflection of the objective world, but also the condensation of the poet's subjective spirit. This poem, written on the autumn sea, can wash away the sentimental sentiment of sad autumn and is vigorous and magnificent, which is closely related to Cao Cao's tolerance, personality and even aesthetic taste. So, even pure landscape works. Because a work, even a pure landscape work, cannot be a purely objective photographic work.
In addition, Cao Cao's existing more than 20 poems, although they are all old poems from Yuefu, are all brand-new. Shen Deqian pointed out: "Writing current events in ancient Yuefu began with Cao Gong." This is also a bold breakthrough in the history of China literature. This new style, which attaches importance to reflecting real life and is not bound by old songs and old sayings, has greatly promoted the development of China's literary realism. This achievement of Cao Cao is also worthy of recognition and praise.
Ju Chi Shou
Although the tortoise has a long life, it has its moments.
The snake rides the fog and eventually turns to dust.
The old horse crouches, aiming at thousands of miles;
The martyrs were full of courage in their later years.
The surplus and contraction period is not only in the sky;
Blessings that nourish grace can last forever.
I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
Precautions:
Zhong Rong of the Southern Dynasties wrote a poem "Poetry", which evaluated poets and distinguished grades, putting Cao Cao's poems at a disadvantage. However, Cao Cao's poems have a shocking power, which makes countless heroes fall in love with each other crazily. According to "Shi Shuo Xin Yu", Wang Dun, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once drunk and chanted Cao Cao, aiming for thousands of miles. The martyr's next year is full of courage. "Wishful spittoon is a holiday, and the spout is short. Why are theorists' eyes so different from readers' eyes to appreciate love? This is a thought-provoking question.
General Wang's clapping poem is the fourth verse of Cao Cao's Yuefu poem "Out of Xiamen"-"Although a turtle is a longevity". Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and his son at that time, pacified the North Fifth Ring Road, was full of ambition, optimistic and confident, and wrote this group of poems to express his great ambition to make contributions. At this time, Cao Cao is 53 years old and can't help thinking about the journey of life, so at the beginning of the poem, he sings with infinite emotion:
"Although the tortoise has a long life, it still flies in the fog and turns to dust."
"Zhuangzi Qiushui" said: "I heard that Chu had a turtle and died at the age of three thousand." Cao Cao used it unexpectedly,
It is said that the tortoise has lived for three thousand years, but it is still inevitable to die! "Everything goes wrong" records: "Flying dragons ride clouds, making snakes swim in fog, clouds stop fog, and dragons and snakes are the same!" "Teng snake" can ride like a dragon riding clouds and fog, and its skill can be described as great! However, once the clouds clear, they will disappear like flies and ants! In ancient times, Qin Huang Hanwu and other great masters were seduced by the art of immortality, but Cao Cao had a clear understanding of the natural laws of life, which was valuable in the era of predicting superstition. What is more valuable is how to treat this limited life? Cao Cao swept away the tragic tone of the literati at the end of the Han Dynasty who lamented that life was like a dream, and promptly advised people to eat, drink and be merry, and sang passionately:
"Old horse, ambitious. In the year of martyrs, go forward bravely. "
Cao Cao compared himself to a galloping old horse. Although old and frail, he was demoted to the next position, but his chest was still full of lofty sentiments. He said that people who are interested in doing something will never be depressed in their later years, and the pursuit of grand ideals will never stop!
This poem begins with a sigh about the philosophy of life, followed by a vigorous singing, and then returns to philosophical speculation:
"The surplus and contraction period is not only in the sky; The blessing that nourishes grace can last forever. "
Cao Cao's outlook on life is quite dialectical. First of all, he talks about respecting the laws of nature, and people always die. Then, in a limited life, people should give full play to their subjective initiative, make positive progress and make contributions.
Finally, people are not completely powerless in the face of natural laws. Although the length of a person's life cannot violate the objective laws, it is not completely given to God. If you take good care of your body and mind and make it healthy and happy, can you also prolong your life? Cao Cao's "pleasure in keeping fit" doesn't mean to sit still and sit back and relax, but rather that a person's mental state is the most important thing. He should not be depressed at the end of the year, but should be "full of courage"-he should have an endless pursuit of ideals and a positive spirit, always optimistic, energetic, constantly striving for self-improvement and maintain ideological youth. Cao Cao revealed the significance of human spiritual factors to health through personal experience. In this respect, it is not a wonderful health theory!
The more valuable value of The Ghost Blows the Lamp is that it is a real poem, which opens up a new era of poetry. Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty ousted hundreds of schools of thought and held the thoughts of the Han people captive for 300 to 400 years, so that the literati of the Han Dynasty could not write poems, but only wrote great poems praising the achievements of emperors and endlessly annotated Confucian classics, and the literature with real feelings and individuality could not be developed. Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world fell apart, stormy, political, ideological and cultural changes took place. As a hero in the world, Cao Cao, who loves poetry and songs, took the lead in going astray and brought a free and active atmosphere to the literary world. He is surrounded by a large number of literati, such as "Seven Scholars of Jian 'an", who live in a war-torn era and often show impassioned thoughts and feelings. As "Wen Xin Diao Long Time Series" said: "When you look at it, you are elegant and generous, good at being scattered in the world, light and vulgar, with a deep ambition and a long pen, so you are generous and full of gas. "In particular, Cao Cao wrote poems on the pommel horse, which was tragic and generous, shocking ancient and modern times, unprecedented and unprecedented. The hearty style of this passionate poem was later called "Jian 'an Style", with Cao Cao as the most prominent representative. For thousands of years, Cao Cao's poems have shocked the hearts of heroes all over the world with this "generous" spirit and its inherent positive and enterprising spirit. It is this precious characteristic that makes Jian 'an literature shine brilliantly in the history of China literature. Zhong Rong placed Cao Cao in an inferior position, mainly because he was "ancient and straight" and lacked literary talent. I didn't know that Cao Cao, a hero, was dismissive of carving chapters and pecking sentences. Zhong Rong was from the Six Dynasties. Scholars at that time paid great attention to literary talent and gorgeous colors. As the saying goes, "a hundred words are used together, and the price of words is strange." Zhong Rong's evaluation of Cao Cao is too low, which is obviously due to the ethos of the times. We know that any literature, including poetry, is secondary to content after all. In the past, Cao Cao's literary position was often concealed by his political achievements, but was not taken seriously. In fact, he is an outstanding figure in the history of China literature development, especially his pioneering work on Jian 'an literature, which really deserves a lot of attention.
Step out of the summer gate and make a gorgeous appearance.
Walking in the rain in the clouds, surpassing the height of Jiujiang.
Do you mind seeing the similarities and differences? Jade, I don't know what to do.
After Jieshi, I was disappointed in my East China Sea.
Step out of Xiamen and enter winter in October.
In October, the north wind haunts,
It's sunny with frost.
Yao Ji sings in the morning, Hongyan flies south,
Storks lurk and bears live in caves.
The money stopped and the crops were harvested.
Set the whole journey and connect with the merchants.
Fortunately, even! Sing with ambition.
Going out of Xiamen is different.
The countryside is different. It's winter by the river.
The ship is difficult to sail.
The cone is impenetrable and unfathomable.
When the water runs out, the ice will dance.
Hermits are poor, brave and chivalrous.
The heart often sighs and complains, which makes people sad.
Fortunately, even! Sing with ambition.
