Talking about life and death in ancient times

Su Dongpo's Ten Years of Life and Death in the River

Ten years of life and death are two boundless. Never think, never forget. A lonely grave thousands of miles away, desolate and nowhere to talk about. Even if we don't know each other, our faces are dusty and our temples are frosty.

When night came, my dream suddenly came home. Xiao Xuan window, get dressed. Care for each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears are expected to break every year at the heartbroken place, and the moonlight night is short.

This poem is a eulogy written by Su Shi, a famous uninhibited poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, because he dreamed of his beloved wife who died young.

When Dongpo was nineteen, he married Wang Fu, who was sixteen. Wang Fu is young and beautiful, waits on Weng Gu respectfully, is gentle and virtuous to the poet, and is affectionate. Unfortunately, the loving couple didn't come to an end. Wang Fu died young when he was twenty-seven. Dongpo lost such a lover, and the pain and mental shock in his heart can be imagined. In the eighth year of Xining (1075), Dongpo came to Mizhou. On the 20th day of the first month of this year, he dreamed of his beloved wife, Wang, and wrote the poem above.

The first word is "dreaming", and the inscription clearly states the day of dreaming, so it can be confirmed that the author's "dream" is real, not covered up. It is said to be "recalling dreams". In fact, only the following five sentences are about remembering dreams, and the rest are all about expressing feelings and telling sadness. The writing is sincere, simple and touching.

"Ten years of life and death are two boundless. Forget it, you'll never forget it. " These three sentences, straight to the point, are extremely summarized and touching. If you break up alive, even though the mountains are far away, there is always hope and opportunity for reunion; Now, crossing the boundary between life and death, the dead are at a loss about the world, and so are the living and the dead, aren't they? ! Love couples, always withdraw your hand, time flies, ten years. Although people are dead, the beautiful scenes of the past are unforgettable! But why add "don't think"? This is not contradictory, on the contrary, it is well supplemented, because it is true! Ten years after Wang Fu's death, Dongpo was politically suppressed for opposing Wang Anshi's new law. After I took office in Michigan, I was busy with government affairs and lived in poverty, so I could only make ends meet by eating Qiju. Besides, my stepwife Wang Runzhi (cousin Wang Fu) and her son are all nearby. How can I keep my long-dead wife in mind every year? Not always suspenseful, not forgotten! The tenth anniversary of his death is a touching day. The past suddenly came to my mind, and the emotional undercurrent that had been in my heart for a long time suddenly surged like a floodgate and was unstoppable. If you have a dream, it is real and natural. I am thrilled at the thought of my lover's death. Thousands of miles away, there is nowhere to go. If the grave is near and life and death are separated, can it be bleak? This is an idiotic language that obliterates the boundary between life and death, so it is particularly touching. "Even if you don't know each other, you are covered with dust and your temples are like frost." These three sentences confuse reality and dreams, and the old face and the decline of the body contain all kinds of troubles and resentment after death. Dongpo is only forty years old this year, and he is already "first frost". It is impossible to assume that she has been away from this world for ten years, but she wants to "meet" and bring her lover back to life. Her feelings are deep and sad, which shows her deep nostalgia for her lover and describes her personal changes, making the meaning of this word deeper.

For Dreaming, the first five sentences of the next movie are the theme. Wandering outside, snow mud claws, with dreamy wings, suddenly returned to my hometown when I was thinking. Hometown, the place where my lover and I spent sweet years, the window of that small room, is kind and familiar. As for her, vaguely like that, she is dressing up. When husband and wife meet, there is no intimacy of reunion after a long separation, only "silent mutual care, only tears"! "speechless." Including thousands of words, showing the painful feeling that "silence is better than sound". If you complain about each other's differences and feel sorry for each other, where do you start? ! A dream brought back the past, but the beautiful scene of that year no longer exists. This is the feeling of reality entering a dream, which makes this dream infinitely bleak!

The last three sentences fell from dream to reality. "Moonlit night, short Songshan Mountain", what a lonely environment! The author predicts that lovers buried underground will be heartbroken in order to cherish the world and to be reluctant to part with their loved ones on this mourning day every year. !

Tang Bai Juyi's "Song of Eternal Sorrow" opened the world, and lilacs were like lightning, reaching up to the sky and down to the ground, looking around. Above, he looked for the green void, below, the yellow spring, but he didn't find the one he was looking for in two places. Then he heard about a charming island at sea, with mountains in nothingness. "
