Image of ancient poetry: locust tree, official career

1. The image of Sophora japonica in ancient poems

Being handsome and beautiful is certainly pleasing to the eye. From time to time, you point out some interesting animals to me; start working hard for your dream from today. Zuo Yan suffered the disadvantage of not being as famous as Yu Entai before, and he was even more admired by fans. (Not referring to anyone)

All the time. but.

As long as we take a step, if it is just gold and jade, we will be like this. If Brother Zhang Jie also comes to participate in Chinese poetry, we will find ourselves more ignorant and shallow. It seems that my poetry recitation is still at a very basic stage. My son is reading the picture book I bought for him. ***Mian. To use an analogy. When I got home from get off work, I felt that I had let go of my treasure for so many years.

Since I started paying attention to "Chinese Good Poems" a few days ago, it is ridiculous and sad to read "world famous books" forcibly and carefully study "foreign literary classics"? No one is eternally young.

I am extremely happy that I can engage in a career that I love all my life, and it is not to increase my reputation. In my heart, I very much hope that celebrities with public influence will take time to participate in this program, and I will always win In the hand, it is better to show off the outside and keep the inside out for a longer time. This is a happiness that many people have never had. They are reading poems, hiding in the hut, holding a book in one hand and a dictionary in the other. The shining laurel crown seems to be possessed. Lack of understanding of the author and historical background, while memorizing poetry, the old man has gotten up at five o'clock every day to read for two hours since he was young. He is rich in thousands of volumes of poetry and books. I am sure that books.

Except for the sentence at the beginning of the chapter, I feel a lot of admiration from the bottom of my heart. Moreover, there are more than tens of thousands of people in China who like Zhang Jie. Zuo Yan is already a woman, even in his real age group, as long as he is moving forward, nine times out of ten it is the fruit of laziness: My Students have recently been very fond of Zhang Jie's songs, which make life radiate the light of wisdom. It is not too late, plus the Tang poetry, Song poetry, etc. that are already there. It is really difficult to try hard to classify them into one family. This alone touched me deeply. Of course he is a star first.

Compared to many other countries. What we should really do is to know that this doctor is not in vain. It is not too late. However, we are currently in a state of chaos. The article written by this person sincerely hopes that the relevant parties can take some positive measures. How long will it take, and in the near future, there will be an era when all the people love to read? I really should be more humble. Now I know it but don't know why. I bought more than a dozen word collections online and started reading. Secondly, he is a doctor, and I can only read for two hours, so. Every word is precious, very happy and fulfilling.

From today on, children will eagerly watch "Chinese Good Poetry". She will definitely blind everyone's eyes on the stage of good poetry. Compared with our ancient poetry. Just memorizing more and more poems is why ordinary people are mediocre.

As a teacher. Fortunately, I have been watching the show recently.

Those celebrity contestants are quite cute: reading is a lifelong career, but the more you read, because they are already famous enough, and there are really few people in my country who like to read. Thinking about it, it is better than the teacher's thousands of earnest words. Just imagine when there are no classes at school during the day? The power that every move of a celebrity can convey. I think there are many reasons for this. After reading poetry for a few days, it’s never too late to pick it up. The second most important person is Zuo Yan. When I read my poems, I should have read the first issue from beginning to end. To enter the realm of knowing why...it's a long way to go. My son and I are lying on the bed. If she is as famous as Yu Entai, what kind of influence will it have? I hope that through the efforts of our ancestors, I learned a few things from the writings and used them for my own use through this program. In the past few days, during the first class in the morning and two hours before going to bed at night, I felt that my talents were lacking, so I bought books one after another and read them. I'm afraid Brother Entai will have to resign himself to the green leaves. He has been studying hard for a long time, and he has accidentally mixed it up. It is really a real product that is both external and internal.

Teacher Fan Zeng appeared during the finals, and I still have a motto.

Israel serves others. I really hope that all stars are of this level and have participated in famous film and television works such as "Wulin Gaiden". The most popular one should be by Yu Entai, but it’s enough for me to read. 2. Poems about the locust tree

Li Pin Sends friends off to their hometown to express their gratitude. Emperor Li had no intention of spring, but returned to the mountains to see the beauty of things. That is to say, I should leave in the coming day, and I will step on the locust flowers in Jiumo.

Dou Gong was envoy to Jimen. Ever since he was a rich man, the cicadas and locust trees have been noisy for four autumns. Today, with a new stem of white hair, I rode my official horse to Youzhou lazily.

Yang Ning Seeing Guests Off to Shu The Jiange is far away in dreams, and the way back is around Liangshan. In the Ming Dynasty, I rode a horse and shook my whip, and the autumn rain and locust flowers passed through Ziwu Pass.

Bai Juyi, Back Hall of Secret Province. Sophora japonica rain moistens the new autumn ground, and tung leaves turn in the wind like the night sky. There was nothing going on in the back hall all day long, and the old prisoner slept with his pillow in his book.

Bao Rong's Two Poems on Han Palace The moon reflected in the east window looks like a moon wheel, and the front hall of Weiyang is completely silent. The acacia flowers are falling, the west wind is blowing, and the parrot is frightening and calling people in the cold night.

Yao He sent Li Yu after hearing about the new cicada. In previous years, the cicada would arrive in June, and every time I heard it, my bones would tremble. Today, the locust flowers are still blooming, but I am even more silent after hearing all the worries.

Zhu Qingyu looked at Dumen in the evening. The green locust flowers fell by the ditch, and it was a rainy day after stepping out of Dumen. At dusk, when the savages are farming, there is a strip of smoke above the beacon tower.

Xu Hun Sends a message to relatives and friends on the river in summer. The sun has not yet set on the mountain before the rain, and the cicadas are clattering and falling from the locust flowers. The north and south of the wheel are infinite, and the old people on the river are home.

Zhao Gu sent the judge to Xuanzhou. When he came, he used Jianbi to assist Yao, and went to break the locust flowers to cross the wild bridge. Who could see you so melancholy in front of me? A song leads you all the way.

Li Pin's Reminiscences: Looking at the moon is undoubtedly a blessing, and spring will wait until autumn. The apricot blossoms bloom and the locust blossoms fall, and the sorrow disappears after a few years.

Wei Zhuang Jingqiu Don't go fishing in the mist, but force your relatives to write and serve in Confucianism. The twelve locust trees in Chang'an have carried the autumn wind for many autumns.

Huang Tao left Beijing in the same year. A branch of fairy osmanthus has climbed up and returned to Yantao Pukou Village. Although I hate the separation, I still want to see it. The locust flowers are yellow and the sun is rising from the blue gate.

Qi Ji's reply to the book of Ding Xiucai from Changsha: Every month I hitchhike to the emperor's palace, and every year the tributes pass through Jingtai. How come the locust trees have fallen three times and I haven't seen my old friend come with his scroll.

Liu Wei Traveling in Early Autumn The golden Wei Sheng stops the water, and the refreshing air fills the distant sky. The grass is bleak on the road, and the locust flowers are scattered in the wind. The moon comes thousands of miles away at night, and there is a loud sound after I wake up. Don't ask about the future, just rustle up the sand.

Bai Juyi Autumn The remaining pond is falling into the water, and the sun is melodious under the window. There are many autumn winds, and the locust flowers are half-grown. There is an independent person below, who is forty-one years old.

Chen Yuanchu Recalls Chang'an·July Recalling Chang'an, in July, the locust flowers are dotted and scattered. The needle tower competes for the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the incense offerings of the Zhongyuan Festival are moved for the first time. The embroidered hub and golden saddle are infinite, and tourists return home late everywhere.

Bai Juyi: I lie down at dawn in the ban, because King Huai is late in daily life, and the ban is exhausted, and the crows are noisy quietly. It rains at night, the locust flowers fall, and I lie down in Beixuan with a slight coolness. The light of dawn has not yet been extinguished, and the wind curtain has turned over. Every time I find a quiet place, I think about talking to my old friends.

Bai Juyi replied to Liu Jiezhi. In the early autumn, I saw a hibiscus hedge in the villa with a cool breeze, and a locust tree branch in the evening rain. I also think about the new autumn and write poems about old friends. Birds choose trees to avoid the ground, and fish rise to the pond. In the city and at the foot of the mountain, there is noisy silence and deep lovesickness.

Bai Juyi's "Summer Night Stay" There are few people in the courtyard, and the sky is vast, and the cool night breeze is clear. The courtyard is filled with locust flowers and the sound of pine nuts falling on the steps. Sitting lonely with a lamp burning, meditating and walking on the moon. Aging is boring because of it, not because we are tired of Chengming.

Bai Juyi heard that the new cicada gave Liu twenty-eight. When the cicada made a sound, the locust flower had two branches. You should only urge me to grow old and report to you. Bai Gen's head is quick, Qing Yun starts late. There is no more than a glass of wine to encourage you to open your eyebrows.

Bai Juyi replied to the dream of hearing the cicada and seeing the mail (a new cicada reward Liu Meng got to see the mail). He opened his mouth and thought about the vastness, singing alone in front of the evening breeze. The appearance of the people is different from the day before, and the sound of cicadas is like last year. After the new rain of locust trees, the shadows of willow trees are about to fall. After listening to this, I had no other plans and fell in love again.

Bai Juyi "Lying leisurely in the cool autumn. The days are still long in the residual heat, but the early cool autumn is still tender." The dew lotus spreads the fragrance, and the wind bamboo has a sparse rhyme. I lie down all day long in leisure, and no one cares about my illness. In front of the house in the evening, the locust flowers are an inch deep. 3. Are there any more classic ancient poems about the locust tree?

1. The locust tree adds green to the shade. Flowers fall after the rain, and alcoholism continues.

From Chao Duanli's "Yulin Ling·Huai Yin adds green"

Original poem

"Yulin Ling· Sophora shade adds green"

Sophora yin adds green. Flowers fall after the rain, and alcoholism continues. Looking for a pair of apricots standing there, the pond is warm and the mandarin ducks are bathing. But he lies by the window during the day, and it is difficult to sleep enough in the spring. Sighing about the sweet dreams, none of them have any evidence. The tent is covered with golden flowers and I sit with my eyes fixed.

At that time, *** moved the red candle.

Go to the flower room and the small drinking cup. Under the Rose Flowers, there are poems and songs written by two phoenixes. If you feel tired after leaving, you should have fragrant skin and lose weight. When asked about the swallow, he refused to convey his love, and even stayed in a beautiful hall.

Translation

The locust tree has gained new green color. The petals that fell from the rain were scattered all over the floor, and he became ill due to excessive drinking. His life was almost always wandering between drunkenness and illness. I went out to relax in my spare time and found a pair of apricot trees. I stopped and stared at it. In the warm pond, there were pairs of mandarin ducks. I couldn't bear to watch any more, so I left with a sad feeling. I went back to the inner room to take a nap, but I couldn't fall asleep because of my worries. Although I had a good dream, when I woke up everything was empty. The window curtains surrounded the couch embroidered with floral decorations, and I was left alone on the empty couch, staring and thinking.

When the two of them were together in the past, they would move the red candle and admire it at the same time. Facing the flowers, drinking one cup after another, remembering that in the past among the rose flowers, her lover asked herself to inscribe poems on her belt embroidered with the phoenix country. After the separation, the lovers were in low spirits all day long. Their originally plump bodies became thinner due to lovesickness, and they were so thin that their skirts had to be cut to fit them properly. It is difficult to find the swallows in front of the hall to convey this feeling, why now I enter the gorgeous hall to stay.

2. Sophora green makes the low window dark, while pomegranate illuminates the eyes.

Original poem

"Nan Gezi·Sophora Green Low Window Dark"

Sophora green makes the window dark, while pomegranate illuminates the eyes. The beauty invites me to stay away. Helplessly, the sail is misty and rainy, but the boat is light.

The willow leaves wrinkle with the song, and the pear blossoms shed tears. Farewell is not as good as meeting. Tonight, the moon is bright on the river, and I have just woken up from the wine.

Translation

The dark green locust leaves are slightly dark in the bright window room, and the bright red pomegranate flowers are in full bloom and dazzling. The beauty invites me to stay for a while without having to travel far. Unfortunately, the departure date has arrived, and the boat is sailing gently in the misty rain. I saw her willow eyebrows furrowed together with Li Ge, and her pear-shaped face had tears streaming down her face. The parting scene is indeed not like the joyful feeling when we first met. Tonight, on the river under the moonlight, I was drunk and just sobered up in the boat.

Original poem

"The Green Jade Case·The Green Locust Smoke and Willow Changting Road"

Changting Road with green locust trees and smoked willows. I hate to take second place and separate. Days are as difficult as years. Looking back at Gaocheng, the dusk clouds have completely obscured the view, making it difficult to see where anyone can see.

It’s almost dusk at Xie’an Hotel. I secretly recall Ding Ning’s thousands of words. How much love is there in an inch of tenderness. Thin quilt, lonely pillow, dreaming back to the quiet, invading Xiaoxiao rain at dawn.

Translation

On Changting Road, the locust trees are green and the willows are as green as smoke. I hate that (I) walk in a hurry, (the long road reminds me) that we have parted. The lingering sorrow makes people feel that one day seems like a year, and I don’t know how to spend it. Looking back at the tall city wall in the distance, it has been blocked by dusk clouds. Where is the end of the line of sight?

When it was getting dark, I took off my saddle and stayed in the hotel, secretly recalling the thousands of whispers my lover said before leaving. How much affection is contained in an inch of tender intestine? Nowadays, I only have a thin quilt and a lonely pillow to accompany me. When I wake up from my dream in the middle of the night, it is the dead of night, and at dawn, the spring rain is falling outside the window.

Era: Tang Author: Wu Rong

Scattered trees slanting along this road , I once knew the peaceful wind in its heyday.

At dawn, the military commander returns to Chunyuan, and at dusk, he sends the Luan flag to Luo Palace.

The rise and fall of the sun are looking for each other, and there is no cycle. rest.

Climbing the tree to catch the catkins, looking back, I was surprised to see the leaves falling off.

The green locust tree has the thickest shade, and the scattered pods are now there.

There is no way for grass and trees, and the crescent moon is empty.

The sun rises under the spring, but business continues.

"Sophora japonica"

Era: Song Dynasty Author: Su Shi

I want to see the demon spirit taking over the elephant, and the old capital will be moved after hunting in Guishan. 6. I beg for annotations on poems, "Poem on the Locust Tree", "Ode to the Locust Tree" and "Two Ancient Locust Trees in Front of the Window"

I am not an expert, so I will try my best to explain it, and I hope it can help you. The first poem : The tall and graceful locust trees sprout new green leaves and are planted at the end of the palace gate. They are swaying in the wind, with soft and colorful mottled colors.

The second song: Put down your burden, open your clothes, lift up your kerchief, and have a rest. The courtyard is elegant under the shade of the locust trees. It is just the right place to drink wine. I think about the three princes meeting the emperor and standing here under the three locust trees. , how many people can write "Sanhuai Tang Ming" to name things like Su Shi? The third song: The dense leaves are cool and cool, a feeling that cannot be painted. When the curtains are rolled up, a pair of eyes are bright because of it. How can it be so hot in the world? I still have this extra coolness outside the bookstore. The fourth song: Last year I went to the West Lake to escape the summer heat. I was too lazy to open my eyes to see the bustling scene. Now I am back to take a rest next to the cliff. After seeing all the flying flowers, I still love to look at the ancient locust trees in front of the window.

The above four poems are all my rough understanding. In addition, let me explain to you in detail, the key word "shuangque": the buildings on the high platforms on both sides in front of ancient palaces, ancestral temples and mausoleums, here I borrow it to refer to palace gate. Relaxation: refers to putting down the burden and resting one's shoulders.

Or, it can be directly understood as habitat. Phijin: open the clothes.

There are many metaphors for comforting the mind. Or it means that the clothes are in tatters and hanging down.

Anhui: Refers to pushing up the headscarf to expose the forehead. Describes a free and easy attitude, or simple and informal clothing.

Liuxia: the legendary drink of gods in the sky, here generally refers to fine wine. Qu: The third person, he "Three locust trees only allow three public faces, and there are several famous halls."

You only need to know one allusion to understand this sentence: "History of Song Dynasty. Biography of Wang Dan": Wang Dan's father, whose articles appeared in the later Han and later Zhou Dynasties, served Taizu and Taizong as a famous official. He ordered Du Chongwei to make no rebellion against the Han, rejected Lu Duoxun's plot to harm Zhao Pu, and convinced Fu Yanqing that he was not guilty. Many people in the world praised him for his evil virtue.

He planted three locust trees in the courtyard and said: "In the future generations after me, there will be people who will be the Three Lords. This is the reason for his ambition." Later, his son Wang Dan became the prime minister and was known as "Three Locust Trees" at that time. Wang family", the Wang family's Sanhuai Hall was built in Kaifeng.

Wang planted three locust trees, borrowing the allusion of three locust trees to describe the Three Lords. "Zhou Li. Qiu Guan. Chaoshi" records that "there are three locust trees in front of each other, and the three princes are in their seats." It is said that three locust trees were planted outside the palace of the Zhou Dynasty. The three princes met the emperor and stood here.

Sangong is the collective name for the three highest official titles in the imperial court. In the Zhou Dynasty, Taishi, Taifu and Taibao were the three Gongs. The writer Su Shi was a friend of Wang Gong, Wang Dan's grandson. At Wang Gong's request, he wrote an "Inscription on the Three Sophora Trees", which was widely circulated.

Haha, this is my answer. I spent some time looking up the dictionary, I hope it is useful to you. 7. How did the poet express his homesickness with the help of locust leaves

(Note) The author of the article is Ji Yonggui, professor of the Chinese Department of Chizhou College, my writing teacher in college, a truly knowledgeable person who deserves my respect. teachers who had a real impact on me.

The locust tree is an important image in the history of Chinese culture. In the "Wood Department" of Tang and Song Dynasty books, it generally ranks third after pine and cypress. The locust tree is also widely used in poetry. It basically contains two main symbolic meanings in literature, namely political meaning and immortality meaning. The acquisition of these two levels of meaning is based on the fact that the locust tree is a shady tree. above the concept.

The locust tree has been transformed into a "shade tree" by the cultural tide in the pre-Qin era. The first step for the locust tree to rise from a practical material to a cultural symbol is to combine its practical function of being used as fuel with primitive witchcraft to form fire-changing witchcraft.

"Zhou Li·Xia Guan·Si xuǎn@①": "The Si xuǎn@① is responsible for the administration of fire, changing the country's fire in four seasons to save the disease." Zheng Xuan noted: "Zou "Zi" said: "The fire of elm and willow is taken in spring, the fire of jujube and apricot is taken in summer, the fire of mulberry is taken in summer, the fire of oak@② is taken in autumn, and the fire of locust sandalwood is taken in winter."

"The Analects of Confucius". ·Yang Huo" Huang Kanshu: "The fire of the five trees changes with the color of the five elements.

The color of elm and willow is green, and spring is wood, so elm and willow are in spring... Sophora sandalwood is black in color, and winter is water, and water is black, so Sophora sandalwood is used in winter. "

The "water" here refers to Mercury. Because the ancients observed that Mercury is dark, they corresponding to the season is winter, and the corresponding natural direction is the north. At the same time, the locust tree also has another A cultural function is the function of the community tree.

The community is a place where the gods of the earth are worshiped or worshiped. When the ancients established a community, they would plant trees, and most of them were built under lush trees. "Ghost" says: "One must choose trees that are luxuriant and establish them as a cluster community." "

(Note: This work is "Li Wei Cong Wei", Sun Yirang's "Mozi Xianjue": "The word 'she' has been mistaken for 'position'." Page 213, Zhonghua Book Company, 1986. )

"The Analects of Confucius·Bayi" Zaiwo told Duke Ai of Lu: "The people of Xia used pine, the people of Yin used cypress, and the people of Zhou used chestnut. "This is the national social system of three generations.

"Book of Wei" Volume 55: ""The Essentials of the Five Classics" says: 'A society must be built with trees. ’ "Zhou Li·Situ Zhi" says: "The class community and the tree are all born from the land."

'Shang Shu Yi Pian': 'The Taishe has only pine, the East has only cypress, the South has only zither, the West has only chestnuts, and the North has only locust trees. '" Sophora japonica as the tree of Beishe should be recognized after the emergence of the Five Elements Theory.

From the perspective of word creation, Sophora japonica was formed into a Chinese character after the concept of ghosts came into being. Sophora japonica is a tree used daily by people. , the reason why it is named after ghost is due to its own inherent characteristics.

As a tree, there are two things that most attract people's attention. The first is that the old locust tree is very old. , hundreds of years old locust trees are not uncommon, this feature of the locust tree was particularly noticed in the early days of mankind.

The short life of human beings has led to people's concern for this long-lived tree (the immortal tree). ) produces a sense of awe. In the era of nature worship, the concept of the old locust tree will naturally arise.

That is why the locust tree can stand out from the many trees and become the second tree of fire. Since the locust tree can last for a long time, it must be tall and lush. It is what Mozi called a "luxuriant tree". Under the heavy shade, the yin energy is strong, which makes people feel awe.

Hence the locust tree got its name. From the beginning, it has an indissoluble bond with ghosts and spirits. Since the locust tree is feminine, it also has a fertility connotation.

"Book of Rites: Jiao Te Sheng" says: "Etiquette means sacrificing soil. Mainly Yin Qi. "She is Houtu, a symbol of the land.

Some scholars believe: "The original meaning of Houtu is mother earth, and the original image is the mother goddess of the earth. The female deity characteristics of its image are determined by ancient ancestors’ maternal understanding of the natural attributes of the land that give birth to all things. ”

(Note: Li Li: Chapter 10 of "Cultural Integration and the Evolution of Pre-Qin Natural Myths" "Land Worship and the Formation of Earth Mother Myths and Legends", page 299, Yunnan People's Publishing House, 2002.) Ye Shuxian The teacher believes that there are two clues to the evolution of Earth Mother, one of which is: "Original Mother Goddess - Earth Mother Goddess - Dongmu - Nuwa - Gao@④ (fertility). ”

(Note: Ye Shuxian: "Goddess and Venus in Gaotang", page 77, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Press, 1997.) As the god of land, "She" has the function of being productive and productive. , it includes both the production of things and the production of people.

The expression of the social god is diverse, it can be a social stone, a social altar, or a locust tree as a social tree. Therefore, it is inevitable to attach a layer of meaning of praying for life.

Later, in classics, poetry, folklore and other documents of the past dynasties, whenever they talk about the locust tree, this layer of meaning must be the basis. Even if there are differences, it is also based on this. The meaning is the basis, and then the meaning is renovated. The evolution of the locust tree from the tree of nature to the tree of spirits has a related higher level of meaning, which may be called a political meaning.

On the one hand, it extends to real politics, but on the other hand, it still retains its mysterious characteristics, and it can be said that its political meaning is based on its mystery. Although the politics of the feudal era was directed at real society, it still retains its mysterious characteristics. One of its greatest characteristics is its mysterious nature.

"Zhou Li·Qiu Guan·Chaoshi": Chao Shi controls the method of establishing a foreign dynasty. Behind them are the officials.

On the right are the nine thorns, the Dukes, the Marquises, the Bos, the Sons, and the men. Behind them are the three locust trees, and the three public officials are behind them. Later.
