Appreciation of the Original Text and Translation of Su Shi's Book to the Star

Xiangzi Shuhuai Original: Dust-free and Clear Night. Moonlight is like silver. Be sure to pour the wine for ten minutes. This is both fame and fortune, but it is a waste of people and money. A pony in a sigh, a fire in a stone, and a dream. Although you hold an article, who will kiss you? And Tao Tao, happy innocence. When will you go home? Be an idle person. Yes, a piano, a pot of wine and a cloud.

The air is fresh at night, there is no dust, and the moonlight is as bright as silver. On this beautiful day, you must enjoy the moon and drink. Fame and fortune are fickle like clouds, and it is futile to try again. A person's life is like a crack in a horse pond, like a shining stone, as short as a short experience in a dream. Although he is brilliant, he can't be reused, and there is nothing to display. Let's take advantage of the joy in reality and forget all the troubles in life. When can I retire to the countryside, not working hard for state affairs, having a piano to play, wine to drink, and mountains and rivers to enjoy is enough.

The author first describes the lyrical environment: the night air is fresh, there is no dust and no me, and the moonlight is like silver. The beauty of this night can only be felt after the moon calms down, which is completely different from the noise of the world during the day. Drinking on the moon is often a poet's pleasure: full of wine, alone, looking up at the sky, daydreaming endlessly. Li Baiyue, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, indulged in fantasy and wrote wild romanticism. Su Shi was troubled by political disputes and depressed, so he didn't "ask for wine from heaven" or "dance with shadows" at the moment, but seriously thought about the meaning of life. The moonlit night is empty and mysterious, and there is no one, just thinking calmly about life in order to get rid of it. Su Shi is famous for his erudition and eloquence, and he often makes comments in his poems. After describing the lyrical environment, the word entered metaphysical thinking. The author has expressed the theme of "life is like a dream" many times in his works, but it is more clear and concentrated in this word. He wants to explain that people's pursuit of fame and fortune is futile and laborious. Everything in the universe is short-lived, and human life is as fleeting as "a colt in a gap, a fire in a stone, a dream in a dream". In order to illustrate the nothingness of life, the author found three commonly used metaphors from ancient books. Zhuangzi's Journey to the North said: "If there is a gap between heaven and earth in life, it is sudden. The ancients compared the shadow of the sun to a white pony, meaning that life is too short to pass through the cracks in the wall like a shadow. Selected Works of Panyue Heyang County, Notes of Shan Li, quoted the ancient Yuefu poem "How long can you see the fire when you cut a stone" and Bai Juyi "Put this body in the stone fire", which also means that life is like the fire of flint. "On Zhuangzi Wuqi" said that people "only dream, do not know the dream, the dream accounts for the dream, only know the dream; And I didn't know this big dream until I had a big sleep. Fools thought they were sleeping. " Li Qunyu's Self-Dispatch in Tang Dynasty expressed Zhuangzi's meaning. Su Shi is brilliant. In the first sentence of this word, he used three words to express the nothingness of life in a surprising way, which constitutes a metaphor and has its source. The words of the ancients about nothingness in life are concentrated in one place, which shows that the author has seriously thought about this problem for a long time. Although the discussion in the last film can't be carried out in detail, the summary is concentrated and has reached a deep level. At the beginning of the next movie, make up the understanding of nothingness in life with an exclamation tone.

At the beginning of the next movie, make up the understanding of nothingness in life with an exclamation tone. "Although you hold an article, who opens your mouth will kiss you" is the feeling of ancient literati that "it is too late to use it", which is unknown. Although Su Shi was favored by the imperial court in Yuan You, he actually accomplished nothing. "He is like a grinding cow, stepping on it step by step", attacking him in groups of three or five, so he feels positive. When he is depressed, he looks for a way to release himself. Being good at getting rid of troubles, disputes and pains, and being bold and open-minded are the characteristics of Su Shi's attitude towards life. His way out is to pursue realistic enjoyment and retire when there is an opportunity. "Naively enjoying Tao Tao" is the way he enjoys reality. Only in "Tao Tao" can we recover and acquire humanity and forget all the troubles in life. But the best way to get rid of it is to stay too far away from the officialdom and live in seclusion in the countryside. It seems that Su Shi does not intend to retire immediately, and it is hard to predict when he will return, but rural life is very desirable. Playing the piano, drinking, enjoying mountains and rivers, playing romantic games and enjoying leisure are the ideal negative lifestyles of China literati. They are indifferent and have no extravagant hopes. All they need is a little reward from nature. "One piano, one pot of wine and one stream of clouds" is enough. This is very noble and poetic.

Su Shi is a writer with complex thoughts and distinctive personality. In his works, he not only shows the positive thoughts of making contributions, but also often reveals the negative thoughts of nothingness in life. It may be one-sided to judge the writer only from a certain work. The poem Xiang Xing Zi does show the negative side of Su Shi's thought, but it also profoundly reflects his depressed mood in political life, because his ambition to make contributions is difficult to realize in feudal society. When Su Shi entered his official career, he had a desire to retire from his youth. In fact, he does not hate life. His retirement is conditional. He will retire after realizing his political ambition, just like the outstanding figures in ancient times, such as Fan Li, Sean and Xie An. So "when to go home and be an idle person" depends on political conditions. In fact, he didn't succeed in his political career, so he didn't realize his desire to retire. In his later years, he was even exiled to Hainan.

The whole word is inserted into the lyrics. Life is too short to do much. Looking back, everything is nothing, just like the sunshine that occasionally comes in through the cracks in the wall, the sparks that flash from flint, or the unrealistic experiences in dreams, which are fleeting and can't be really owned. Instead of wasting one's life in pursuit of fame and fortune, it is better to put everything down and be an idle person, enjoy a piano, pour a pot of wine, listen to the gurgling stream, watch the white clouds fluttering and enjoy the beauty of the moment. This is the author's understanding of life from life, which is of great philosophical significance and will not make readers feel bored after reading it. This word is a broad-minded work in Dongpo's ci.

Xiangzi Ci has beautiful syllables, and it can be called the best tune in Ci. There are sounds on the top and bottom of the collar, and the next three characters are taken. The first and second sentences in the next part are generally the same as those in the last part, but some of them rhyme with the word "shou" The word Dongpo can be said to be a model of freeze-frame. In terms of rhythm, the word is not as beautiful as "Crossing Seven Miles with Xiangzi", but it is also very good, especially the two paragraphs of "Foal in the Gap, Fire in the Stone, Dream in the Body" and "A Qin, a pot of wine, a cloud", which are very rhythmic.

Life is too short, talents are not met, there is no hope of success, and there is a desire to settle for second best when you enter the official. This is a common contradiction among ancient literati. Therefore, there are fallen flowers and seclusion. Su Shi is a bold and open-minded person, "but naive", as if forgetting the troubles of life. Although the word reveals the author's depression and negative emotions to some extent, the theme of "Tao Tao, have fun and be naive" is cheerful and lively. The fluency of language and the harmony of phonology in words are just consistent with this tone, and the form and content are perfectly integrated. According to Song Dynasty poet Hong Mai's "Four Poems of Rongzhai", in the early years of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, the word Su Shi was slightly changed to satirize the imperial court's reduction of the names of extra rewards for officials, which led the authorities to stop discussing its implementation. It can be seen that it was very popular among the literati in the Song Dynasty, which could arouse some literati's dissatisfaction with reality.

The writing time of the word "Xing Xiangzi's writing background" is uncertain. Judging from his strong desire to retire, it should be Su Shi's works in Yuan You, Song Zhezong (1086- 1093). At that time, Song Zhezong was young, and the Queen Mother presided over the state affairs, attacked the new law and used the old school. Su Shi was particularly favored. In the first year of Yuan You (1086), Su Shi was recalled to North Korea as a bachelor of Hanlin and a scholar. Political opponents Zhu Guangting, Huang Qingji and others tried to frame Su Shi again with a similar "Wutai Poetry Case". Because of the protection of Empress Dowager Cixi, although he was not hurt, he was extremely tired of official life, felt "heartbroken" and had the idea of retiring. He once said in a poem: "When I think of an old illness, I will return to the truth for a while, and my fame will be illusory. It' s no different from eating chicken ribs. " ("Seeing the New River with Ye Chun's Old Hou Dunfu and Zhang Bingdao") This poem was written in Yuanyou's five or six years (1090- 109 1), and the idea of this word is similar.
