Turtle and I wish Achillea drill: drill shell crack and get to see stem divine Achillea
Yuan and five years (810), Bai's friends because he had offended powerful Yuan Zhen, Cao army who disparaged of Gangneung. During the Yuan Zhen in Gangneung, wrote five "promise to" express their feelings of poetry: "Death is too old and busy life is, it is proposed anything for Chennai Wuhe" (one), "two notes back to the left descending order, several Deng Rong towards where "(the five). After five years, Bai also relegated Jiangzhou Sima. Yuan Zhen had been transferred when the official Tongzhou Sima, wrote after hearing the poem full of deep feeling: "I heard Lotte granted Jiangzhou Sima." Bai in the Demote the way, wind and waves excited, filled with emotion, also wrote five "promise to" Poetry and Bong.
This is a rational interest of the richest poetry. It is a very simple language to tell the truth: to the people, for things to get a comprehensive understanding of, go through the test of time to measure from the entire history, to judge, not only regarding the phenomenon under the temporary conclusion, otherwise as a usurper, the Duke of Zhou, as a courtesy to the gentlemen of the Wang Mang. Like the poet said, and his friend Yuan Zhen framed by such person will stand the test of time, and thus should be more care of, wait for a "trial of jade," "identified material" expired, one will clarify the facts, identify the things false. This is a poetic form, a summary of their experiences were.
In the performance practices, although the argument for poetry, but the wording is extremely tortuous and full of flavors.
"Presented a method must jun suspicion," he said at the beginning of poems a decision to tell people a skeptical approach, and very solemnly, with a "gift", which stressed that this approach valuable, that is the voice of experience. This grasp of the reader. Not due to make judgments in life is a lot of things, we of course want to know is what kind of method.
This method is it? "Do not drill turtles and wish Achillea." That is not the first, is not; is, not straight out. This makes poetry with twists and turns, there are waves, and more attractive to readers.
The third poem, four only then euphemistically describes it this way: "Examination of jade to be burned on the 3rd full, and distinguish the material is subject to seven years period." Very simple thing to know the authenticity of the merits only time to test. Observed over time compared to things as they tend to come out eventually.
This is from the front shows the correctness of this method, and then turned Bifeng, from negative states: "Duke fear of rumors, when Wang Mang usurped the throne, not humble." If you do not have this method to identify things, they often can not make accurate judgments . Evaluation of the Duke of Zhou and Wang Mang, are examples. Zuo Cheng Wang Duke in the shop period, some people suspected he had ambitions to usurp power, but history proved his sincerity as a king, his loyalty is true, that he usurped power is false. When not on behalf of the Han Wang Mang, pretending humility, have confused some people. "Han" the legend of his "title more respect, more modest festival parade"; but history shows his "humility" is false, on behalf of the Han is his true self.
"If they had to die, who knows their true recovery?" Is a key sentence. "Decision suspicion" is to distinguish genuine. To distinguish the authenticity, the suspicion naturally gone. If the conclusion too early, not the time to test, it is easy for a moment deceived by appearances, does not distinguish the authenticity of grievances good.
Meaning of the poem is very clear, but Yu Xu a euphemistic language. From the positive and negative narrative "must skeptical" of the "law", do not point out straight. The former cited the "trial of jade," "identified material" are two examples, which cited the Duke of Zhou, Wang Mang two examples derived from the readers think. These examples, both arguments is the argument, put the philosophy of being in the image to specific performance of the universal law of things, small in the big, Nairen wondering. Seven Poems in the form of the expression of a profound philosophy, it is the rational thinking, reading of the flavored.
