What are the ancient poems describing poverty?

Gavin, there are unexpected events in the sky, and people are doomed.

Scolopes are not as good as snakes; A cock with wings can't fly as well as a crow.

A horse can walk Wan Li Road, but he can't walk unless he is a human being. People have the ambition of lingyun, unless they are lucky, they cannot understand themselves.

The article is overwhelming, Confucius is in Cai Chen; Excellent martial arts, Jiang Gong is fishing in Weishui.

Yan Yuan's life is short, he is not a vicious person; Is stealing feet to prolong life a kind person?

Yao Shun is wise, but he gave birth to an unworthy son. You are stupid, but there are filial men.

Sean is a cloth, and Xiao He is a county magistrate.

Yan Zi, who was not five feet tall, was made prime minister of Qi. Kong Ming, who can't even tie a chicken, became a strategist of Shu Han.

Overlord hero, Wujiang suicide is inevitable; Hanwang is weak, with Wan Li.

Li Guang has the power to shoot tigers, not to be old; Feng Tang has the ambition of rejuvenating the country, but he has never met it in his life.

Han Xin didn't pick up, begging for a gourd ladle, humiliating to step down, and when it came time to express his love, he was sealed three times on his waist; Ordered to unite millions of soldiers and destroy Zhao's minions. Once it declines, it will die at the hands of Yin people.

Therefore, in life, wealth can't be lewd, and poverty can't be moved.

Only a little knowledge, a teenager, a student; Full of knowledge, the head is still in the mountains.

Brothel women, when the time comes, deserve to be wives; A boudoir is a prostitute.

My fair lady attracts a stupid husband; Handsome and talented, not a rough and ugly woman.

Dragon without rain, fish and turtles dive; A gentleman throws time to a villain.

Clothes and robes are always polite; With a sad face, always holding a peaceful amount.

When in trouble, just be poor and keep your share; If you don't cheat your heart, you will be proud.

At the beginning of the gentleman's poverty, he became a natural skeleton; A rich little man can't get rid of poverty and cold body.

Have a plenty of poor before getting rich, have a plenty of young and old Xian Yi.

When the weather is bad, the sun and the moon have no light; When the land is out of time, vegetation will not grow; The water is not timely and the wind and waves are uneven; People don't have time, and profits will not work. Pay attention to wealth and wealth, life has been arranged, who doesn't want wealth? If people don't follow the basic horoscope, how can they have intimate relationships?

I used to live in Luoyang, begging from monks every day and living in a cold kiln at night. Thinking that clothes can't cover the body, thinking that food can't satisfy hunger. Begging for melons in summer, slipping under the low wall; The warmth of winter is in the waste fire. The upper class hates, the lower class hates, and human nature is despicable. It's not that I'm cheap, it's time, it's luck, it's fate.

Today in the imperial court, the official is the best, ranking third. One person bows above ten thousand people. Holding the staff of a hundred guards, holding the sword of meanness. There are silks and satins for thinking clothes and delicacies for thinking food. There must be a tiger when you go out, and a beautiful woman when you enter. People yearn for it, people envy it, and human nature is precious to me. If it is not expensive, it is time, luck and life.

Hoo hoo! In this world, you can't rely on wealth or bully the poor. Listen to the cycle of heaven and earth, cycle after cycle.

There are unpredictable situations in the sky, and people will encounter disasters and happy events sooner or later. A centipede has hundreds of feet, but it can't walk as well as a snake. Although domestic chickens have big wings, they can't fly like birds. Although a horse can walk thousands of miles, it can't reach its destination by itself if no one controls it. People have lofty ideals, but they can't achieve them without opportunities. No one wrote Confucius' article, but he was besieged by Chen. Literary Jiang Ziya was forced to fish in Weishui for a living. Although the people whose feet were stolen were adults, they were not kind people. Yan Hui, a student of Confucius, died young, but he was not a cruel man. Although Yao Shun was clever, he gave birth to a stubborn son. Shun's father, Gu Sou, was stubborn and stupid, but he gave birth to a saint-like son, Shun. Originally just an ordinary person, and Xiao He is just a county magistrate. Yan Zi was less than five feet tall, but he became the prime minister of Qi. Living in a thatched cottage, he acted as a strategist of Shu. Han Xin had no strength, and he was indeed named a general of the Han Dynasty. Although Feng Tang has the talent of running the country and keeping the country safe, he has no chance to be an official when he is old. Li Guang, a general of the Han Dynasty, had the reputation of shooting tigers (tigers and stones), but he was never knighted. Although Xiang Yu was strong, he committed suicide in Wujiang River. Although Liu Bang was weak, he finally gained state power. A knowledgeable person can't get a job if his hair is white; People with poor ability and shallow knowledge are appointed to important positions at a young age. Some people get rich before they get rich, while others get poor before they get rich. Xiaolong didn't get a chance, so he had to hide among the fish and shrimp. When the upright man has no chance, he can only give in to the villain. When the weather is bad, you can't see the brilliance of the sun and the moon; When the land has no suitable climatic conditions, vegetation will not grow. If water can't get its proper environment, it will set off great winds and waves; People don't get opportunities, and their interests and luck are not smooth.

Before I was in Luoyang, I was a vegetarian in the temple during the day and lived in a cold cave at night. Clothes you wear can't keep out the cold, and porridge and rice you eat can't resist hunger. The upper class hates me, the lower class hates me and calls me a bitch. I said, it's not that I'm cheap, it's that I don't have a chance. After success, the official position reached the highest level of the official position, and the official position reached the three public positions (Prime Minister, Imperial Envoy, Qiu). I have the ability to restrain officials and the power to punish meanness and meanness. I was greeted by a beautiful woman when I went out. When I got home, I wore fine brocade and ate delicious food. The emperor loves me and the people below hug me. They all respect me and envy me. I said: it's not that I'm expensive, it's because I got a good opportunity. Therefore, people live in the world, don't pursue them for the rich, and don't bully them for the poor. This is the law of life cycle.

2. Introduction to the author:

In 944, Lv Mengzheng was born in Luoyang, Henan.

In his early years, he was driven out by his father with his biological mother and lived in a temple in Longmen Mountain in the south of Luoyang. The abbot felt sorry for their mother and son, especially when he saw that Lv Mengzheng was studious, kind-hearted, poor and determined, and was by no means a permanent resident. He took care of them and sent someone to dig a cave for their mother and son on the mountain near the Buddhist temple. Life was very hard, but he studied hard and won the first prize in 977 (in Song Taizong in the second year of Taiping Xingguo). Won the top prize, was awarded the post of supervisor of the country, and was promoted to state ambassador. Emperor Taizong conquered Taiyuan, was awarded the title of Lang, and entered the history museum.

Worship each other several times.

In 980 (the fifth year of Taiping and Xingguo), he worshipped the left to fill the vacancy and studied the imperial edict. In 983 (the eighth year of Taiping and Xingguo), he worshipped Zuo as a counselor and participated in the discussion of state affairs. In 988, Emperor Taizong deposed Li Fang and made Lv Mengzheng the prime minister. In 99 1 year (the second year of Chunhua), Song Ling, an admonisher, neglected his duties and took his anger out on Taizong. Meng Zheng was implicated and was dismissed as the official minister. In 993 (four years of Chunhua), the truth came out and he entered the phase with his original official position. In 995 (the first year of Daoguang), Emperor Taizong relegated Lv Mengzheng again, and Lv Mengzheng and his right servant were sentenced to the Henan government. During this period, the government was generous and quiet, and most of the affairs were entrusted to subordinates and decided by their presidents. In 998 AD, when Zhenzong ascended the throne, he was appointed as the servant of Zuo. To show gratitude to the late emperor, Lv Mengzheng donated three million yuan to the imperial court. A.D. 100 1 year (the fourth year of Xianping), the third phase. In six years, Xu Guogong was made a prince.

Resign and retire

1005 (Jingdezhen two years), returned to his hometown of Luoyang with illness. On the day of his departure, Yu Yu and his two sons came to the entrance of Dongyuan and said to Zhenzong in the temple, "Please live in harmony with the remote ethnic minorities. It is the best policy to stop the war and save financial expenses in ancient and modern times. I only hope that your majesty will think of the people. " Zhao Heng praised and accepted his suggestion. Since then, Zhenzong has visited his home twice.

Lv Mengzheng has seven sons, all of whom work in North Korea. When Song Zhenzong made a pilgrimage to Yongxi Mausoleum, he went to Lufu twice. Seeing that Lv Mengzheng was old, he asked which philosopher could entrust him with an important task. Lv Mengzheng replied, "All scholars are not enough. There is a simple nephew who is an official in Yingzhou and is only a prime minister! " With this sentence, Lv Yijian was later reused and became a famous sage in the Northern Song Dynasty. Lv Mengzheng put national affairs first and was impartial, and recommended his nephew instead of his son. This is an eternal legend. In A.D.101/year (the fourth year of Dazhong Xiangfu), Lv Mengzheng died at the age of 68, and received a gift and a suicide note from the secretariat.

Creation background

Lv Mengzheng was born in poverty and knew the sufferings of the poor, so he studied hard, worked hard and loved the people. When I was young, I studied in a broken kiln with Kou Zhun, and I experienced changes in the world. Later, when I became a prime minister, I realized that the people were humiliated. So he wrote an article "Broken Kiln Fu".

Fu on Broken Kilns is Lv Mengzheng's persuasion, also known as Fu on Cold Kilns. Influenced by the traditional view, some people think that Lv Mengzheng's thoughts are too conservative and negative, so that many articles and classics of Lv Mengzheng have been lost, and this broken kiln fu is regarded as a classic of Lv Mengzheng in The Biography of Lu Wenmu. According to legend, this article was originally written to educate the prince. Lv Mengzheng entered the phase three times and served as the teacher of the Prince. At that time, the Prince (later Song Zhenzong) was young and arrogant, and no one dared to teach the Prince a lesson to his face. Lv Mengzheng decided to write an article to warn the prince. So I wrote this "Broken Kiln Fu". Although the content of this article is short, it contains infinite wisdom, and the clever prince understands the truth at once. It is said that after reading this article, the prince changed his normal state and often asked for advice modestly.

Brief analysis of works

Broken Kiln Fu reveals the idea of life fate and the natural change cycle of heaven and earth. Based on my own experience from suffering to wealth, this paper lists all kinds of fates and hardships experienced by many famous people in history from ancient times to the present, and explains the ups and downs of life destiny in this world in a factual and reasonable way.

The beginning and end of life, in this cycle of natural changes in heaven, earth, time and space, will have different and unexpected artificial and natural changes. Only those who have experienced too many hardships, vicissitudes and ups and downs can experience the most profound changes in the impermanence of heaven and the warmth of human feelings, and can experience the ups and downs of fate and the helpless endings of many lives in the cycle of human hardship, man-made and natural changes in heaven and earth.

What Lv Mengzheng pursues is his life wisdom of listening to the cycle of heaven and earth, being rich but inexhaustible, and being poor but unable to deceive himself. At the beginning, he said, "There are unexpected events in the sky, and people are doomed to misfortune." At the end, he said, "Life is alive, wealth is endless, and poverty can't be bullied." He said, "Listen to the cycle of heaven and earth and start again and again." In his works, Lu Meng reveals the idea that in a specific and unexpected cycle of heaven and earth, people should be endless, and poverty cannot be deceived. Accidents will happen. Lv Mengzheng reminded people of the ever-changing things in nature. With the change of time, people and things will bring a huge gap and have a great impact on people. The cycle of heaven and earth is repeated, and people must face the smooth road and bump calmly.

Lv Mengzheng used a considerable space to list the gains and losses, the huge gap between success and hardship of many famous people in history since ancient times. He deliberately listed so many numbers to show that many people want to conquer nature, but in fact most people can't conquer nature. Many people live in this world and will not accept the reality and cope with the change. "A thousand miles, no one can't walk; People have the ambition of Lingyun, and they can't get ahead unless they are lucky. " Although some people are "learned", they can't be officials when they are old, and some people become officials when they are young. This is called "luck", which is what people often say. "Broken Kiln Fu" reminds people that heaven is impermanent and human feelings are warm and cold, which is the normal state in the world, reminding people to accept reality and cope with the changes in heaven, earth and time.

There are many allusions and stories about Lv Mengzheng. When Lv Mengzheng was young, his family came down, his parents died and he was penniless. He couldn't help his relatives and friends, so he became a beggar. His desolation and pain reached the limit of the world. Therefore, when people talk about who is extremely poor, there is a metaphor of "poorer than Lv Mengzheng". One year during the Spring Festival, Lv Mengzheng was very sad to see that there was nothing at home. He wrote a pair of Spring Festival couplets: the first couplet is "2345", the second couplet is "6789", and the horizontal couplet is "North and South". Metaphor "lack of food and clothing" and "nothing". It was passed down as an anecdote for a time.

Despite poverty, Lv Mengzheng is still ambitious and studies hard. Finally, in the second year of Song Taizong Taiping Xingguo (977), he won the first prize in Ding Chou. After that, the emperor gave the champion mansion. As a result, relatives and friends, old gentry, dignitaries, businessmen and wealthy families, hundreds of thousands, all came to congratulate with heavy gifts and gold, which was crowded for a while. Lv Mengzheng's housekeeper and servant were overjoyed and told Lv Mengzheng. Lv Mengzheng said, "I only have one family. How can I have such relatives? " The housekeeper quickly sent the wedding list and said, "My Lord, friends and relatives are all over the world. How can you say that there is only one? " Lv Mengzheng just smiled and ordered to close the door. Three days later, Lv Mengzheng called the housekeeper and said, "My relatives have arrived. I have a pair of couplets, which are posted at the gate. Only those who stand tall are relatives and friends, and they must not be neglected. " The housekeeper quickly posted couplets. The first part reads: "There was a famine in the old year, and there was no one to rely on. When you walk out of the intersection, you can't take credit or borrow money. Many relatives and friends in the family stood by and watched, and no one gave charcoal in the snow. " The bottom line reads: "This question is lucky, and food and clothing are expected. Will win the first place in the five classics, and the surname and first name will be raised. No matter Wang Wu and Liu Ma, it will be the icing on the cake. " The giver was very ashamed and left. Only a man in his fifties, with patched clothes and a pile of dried tofu, swaggered in. Lv Mengzheng was very happy when he heard the news. He went to the front door to meet him and gave a banquet to celebrate the old man. It is said that Lv Mengzheng condescended to the old man's house many times, and the old man became a frequent visitor to Lv Mengzheng's house. It turns out that the old man and his wife are poor people who make tofu for a living. When Lv Mengzheng was hungry and cold, the old people studied hard for their situation and regarded it as a gift. Often help him make simple tea and tofu.
