2020-02-28 "There is poetry and calligraphy in my belly," the previous sentence may be the norm for everyone

The previous sentence of "The spirit of poetry and calligraphy in one's belly makes oneself beautiful", maybe it is common practice

Who said the popular saying "The spirit of poetry and calligraphy in one's belly makes oneself beautiful"? What's the previous sentence?

Yes, Su Shi's famous line "There is poetry and calligraphy in the belly", and the previous line is "My career is wrapped in thick silk cloth." The closing sentence of "Good Chinese Poetry", "The Tibetan ink in the chest is as deep as the valley, and the poems and calligraphy in the belly are Chinese." is not the original match, but the need of the program. It is the program team's promotion of the program, and it is also a recognition of the love for this program. people’s praise and expectations.

The question is, why is the phrase "I am full of poetry and calligraphy" so popular, while the previous sentence "My life is wrapped in a rough cloth" is rarely known?

Perhaps, the poems passed down from generation to generation are people's expectations for a better life and a better image. And what is remembered by people is exactly what we desire, need, and pursue.

"Life wrapped in coarse cloth", this sentence talks about this life, there are no gorgeous clothes and accessories, only coarse cloth clothes, no luxury goods, no world famous brands, only daily self-made products without brands. clothing. Being poor and not living a luxurious life is normal for everyone, isn't it?

Do you still need to remind yourself of normal things every day? I live this kind of life every day, trying to get rid of it every day and put it into my dreams. Is this necessary? As a result, this poem was ignored, and no matter how life was riddled with problems, there must always be dreams.

So, under what circumstances did Su Shi write these two poems? Please look at the original poem:

This is a farewell poem with the following meaning: Dong Chuan, my friend, although you can only live in coarse linen clothes, you have talent in your chest and your temperament is radiant. . You don't want to accompany the old scholar to live that kind of hard life, so you decide to take the imperial examination with the students. I am short of money and have no money to buy a "flower-looking" horse, but when I am on the road, I will still be dazzled by the car of the woman choosing my husband. When I was in high school, I could still boast to the secular people that the words written in Huang Chengcheng's edict as black as a crow were your name!

It seems that Su Shi is predicting Mr. Dong’s college entrance examination and wishing him a gold medal. Then everything will happen, such as "the spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof disease, and he can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day".

Master Dong had no money to buy a saddle and "wrapped his life in rough cloth", but he was completely different from ordinary people. He had the different temperament of a scholar. Although he was poor, he did not With a sad face, he had a different kind of plainness and elegance about him. And this is what attracts Su Shi.

Yes, the lives of many of us are like this. In this life, we may be working hard to find food and clothing, and live a poor and ordinary life. The reason why the last sentence, "There is poetry and calligraphy in one's belly, comes from China" is so famous, perhaps, is that this poem describes the common characteristics of many scholars. Although they do not have big fish, meat, or rich food and clothing, they still It's elegant.

In fact, it doesn’t matter to have a “career wrapped in rough cloth”, because “with poetry and calligraphy in your belly,” these two sentences are not an ideal state of life.
