Talk about the word birdman

Liu Zongyuan's classic five-character quatrain "Jiang Xue" has always been regarded as the loneliest Tang poem by later generations. The whole poem has a beautiful artistic conception and is extremely sad. So why is the poet so sad? This is about his life experience. In fact, as a teenager, Liu Zongyuan showed extraordinary talent and was born in a famous family. At that time, Liu in Hedong was a noble family. Liu Zongyuan was born in Liujia, Hedong, and naturally received a good education. However, his later life was extremely difficult. Because he participated in the "Yongzhen Innovation", not only was his official position destroyed, but he was also demoted to Yongzhou, Hunan.

The failure of "Yongzhen Innovation" was mainly due to the eunuch's excessive power at that time, which was above the imperial power, and at the same time, Pan Zhen was divided. In the end, this vigorous reform could not be carried out, and those who participated in the reform were either killed or demoted. Liu Zongyuan is one of the backbone members, and naturally bears the brunt, being suppressed and excluded.

After a little understanding of this period of history, let's read the poem Jiang Xue again, so that we can have a brand-new embodiment and understand the poet's inner state at that time. It is precisely because he is ambitious, but he can do nothing in real life, which also makes the poet extremely sad, thus creating such a lonely poem.

There are no birds flying over those mountains, and there are no traces of people in those paths.

A boat on the river, a fisherman wearing his webworm moth; Fishing alone is not afraid of snow and ice.

Literally, we can feel the loneliness conveyed by the poem itself. At this time, the poet was extremely sad and exiled to remote Hunan, which meant that he could never return to the Central Plains, and his life was in trouble. This makes his bones ache, and his works are extremely sad.

"A boat, a bamboo cloak, an old man fishing in the cold Jiang Xue." The artistic conception expressed in these two sentences is a kind of loneliness that goes deep into the bone marrow. The old man fishing alone by the river is the poet himself. He sat alone in the boat fishing, and the falling snow fell on him, which made him feel lonely as never before. Therefore, I personally have always interpreted these two sentences as loneliness, and only lonely people can write such lonely works.

There are many poems handed down by Liu Zongyuan, but the most familiar one is Jiang Xue, which is extremely lonely and sad. From this poem, I can feel the poet's attitude towards life and the helplessness I feel in real life. Life will never be the same again, and I can't go back to Chang 'an, and everything will go up in smoke. This also makes the poet have mixed feelings, and his words are naturally sad.
