Tang Leiyang (now Hunan) where a "wooden Buddhist" Temple, Han Yu Zhen Yuan passed the end of the second verse to remain title, its third one. Responding to the social reality which poetry is made of non-ordinary occasion of the Ode. Poem "wood lay" and "to seek happiness, people" might as co-official in the name of two kinds of people. The use of allegory in the form of chanting, alluding to the persons and things in the similarities between the whichever get rich comic effect, as the most significant feature of this poem.
Han Nan Fang Wuling between the so-called "Maple man" miscellaneous ghost. Born in the old maple gall, shape class of people, were taken as idols shaman, by Shi trick. "Wood Ones" is about the same type of wood charm. It was originally a mountain in a general decaying trees, who have been "through fire" (Ray put to death), also "wave to wear" (rain and flooding), the grinding scrape, scarred, distorted was the "root, such as craniofacial dry and if they "such an unnatural shape. Account of the first two sentences, "Wood lay" first time predicament, exposing the Lao Di, after the two were writing their unexpected fortune, before and after contrast. Fortunately, almost almost Unfortunately, the world often with casual nature of the opportunities. The shape of the old human form of dry roots, well-this is the result of natural disaster, however, to be deified been superstitious, for into the shrine. Yesterday was the first funeral face prison, almost unbearable, an instant into a Tangtanghuanghuang the "wood lay," said Department in respect of the non-Buddhist. The Name and Nature of honor, the nature of the situation and how virtual mortal not harmonize. In the satirical art, comic made, more focused on exposing false, evil, ugly things, the inherent nature of surface phenomena and extremely harmonization, in other words, "tore up posters put worthless" (Lu Xun) . Poem, the poet is like made. Therefore, the "wooden Buddhist" image gives a funny feeling, received excellent ironic effect. The beauty of poetry is still available the last sentence, which draw such a picture: Tower of God stands on a length luck remaining, stubborn rotten wood, but under the seat of God Incense smoke, crawl Fuzhao the ornament of the men and women clothing, they bless it in the prayer. This solemn, the scene solemnly its absurd, funny content, once again constitute a lack of coordination, constitutes a conflict of comedy, people laughing. The object of sarcasm and irony here is not only a "wood lay" the. "Wood lay" of course ridiculous, and "seek happiness" are more laughable abuzz tragic. The poet is to use two words to characterize two kinds of image. In the "Wood Lay" is a positive-road style subject of ridicule, sarcastic. The "people seek happiness" is scanty, but a little eye effect: they were eager to seek happiness, Yuling Chi faint, hold the wrong "Buddha" feet. "Wood lay" not by their ignorance Shangqie trouble, how can in turn bless the people? The "non-Erji of its ghosts, flatter also" ("Analects") is not a ridiculous matter to it? The poem "wood lay" the harsh sentence can be seen to is "to seek happiness people" dig, is stuck in "wood lay" on the shame of "the good, man" face. Poem beauty, just seize the "deaf vulgar ignorance, flattery offering non-ghost" (" River Poetry"), the Reign and the feudal officialdom that some similarities between a typical phenomenon, Yu Jie Duan care, Fable chanting way to obtain the effect of arts comedy satire.
However, the need to explain: From Poetry Writing background, there may be mapping of the Zhen Yuan Dynasty "violence from the consul," the two kings (Wang Pi, Wang Shuwen) and his followers intended. He opposed the two kings and Yongzhen innovation, of course, is a conservative performance. However, in terms of this Shi, before the reform movement is written and not involved in the matter of innovation. At that time, the king's followers in the second there have been many personal gain speculative elements (see Liu "Send Xujing Zhao Meng Yung book"). Thus the image of the objective meaning of the poem ironic, is not simply a political attitude to Han Yu denied.
