However, it is worth mentioning that at the beginning, the poems are actually counted together, which means that the poems are actually used for singing when they are being created. It was not until after the Yuan Dynasty that the form of Qu was separated separately. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a master who turned out to have a great talent in poetry and singing. The best proof is that he left a farewell poem- "Farewell" .
This master's name is Li Shutong. Anyone who knows about poetry will know that this name was famous in the late Qing Dynasty. However, his achievements in other fields will not be mentioned for the time being today. What I want to talk about is his "Farewell". If readers are interested in the full text of the poem
, you can look for it. Here, the author will use the most famous previous sentence to analyze it, namely: outside the long pavilion, beside the old road, there are green grass and sky. The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the setting sun goes beyond the mountain .
It is worth mentioning that, in the eyes of many knowledgeable people, this line of lyrics is actually quite different from traditional poetry. Because ancient poetry pays attention to flatness and rhyme, but this song is not very flat, so in the eyes of some people, this is not a normal poem.
However, the poem is very famous, and it is very common in many modern articles and TV series. The reason is that although this poem is not as exquisite as a real ancient poem, the core of the culture is the same. Judging from the words used in this poem, a few simple sentences clarified the farewell environment at that time, and at the same time used many farewell images to deeply express the meaning of farewell.
You must know that in ancient times, the roads were rugged and inconvenient, and there were few transportation means, and most people could only walk on their own feet. Coupled with the complicated conditions on the road, it is possible that this difference will never be seen again. Therefore, in ancient times, people took farewell very seriously, thinking that farewell was a major event second only to birth, old age, sickness and death.
This is especially common in ancient poetry written by poets who pay attention to sentiment. For example, during the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu and often moved around because of difficulties in life and political failures. At that time, there were many people who respected Du Fu's literary talent and often looked after him when he was in trouble. Among them was a Jiedushi named Yan Wu, who took care of Du Fu in every possible way and often went to Du Fu's home to drink and chat. But after he was transferred back to the capital, Du Fu felt grief. He even sent him all the way from Chengdu to Mianzhou tens of kilometers away. "The Four Rhymes of Yan Gong" was given again to my best friend.
In this poem, the most famous image of ancient poems is about the pavilion. Anyone who has understood the ancient farewell poems will know that in the farewell poems, pavilions are often the most visible sights. This actually has a lot to do with the ancient architectural culture of our country. Whether in the garden or in the market, the pavilion has its own unique charm.
Therefore, it is often written in the poems of literati and poets. For example, Ouyang Xiu 's "Drunk Weng Pavilion" is a good example. With the change of times, the word pavilion has gradually become the main place for people to see off. Both nobles and villagers can rest in the pavilion and say goodbye.
All of this originated from the Qin and Han dynasties. On mountain roads, a long pavilion was set up every ten miles to provide rest and accommodation services for passers-by. Therefore, in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Shilichang Pavilion has become a farewell place for people. Since then, it has gradually become a common image in poetry. This is mainly due to the customs of the officialdom. After all, in ancient times, when officials left their posts, many people came to see them off. But the small pavilion cannot accommodate so many people, so it is natural to hold a farewell banquet in the Changting area.
When we parted next time, people didn’t know if we could meet again next time.See, naturally it is necessary to talk more about friendship. If you walk, you will walk dozens of miles away, until the two parties realize that they are going to be separated.
In this poem by Li Shutong, although not so much attention to detail. However, in the cultural core, the image of farewell is integrated into it, and a feeling of farewell is expressed. Therefore, this poem can be regarded as very representative and influential in modern times. So we can often see in many TV dramas or novels nowadays that there will be scenes that fit this poem. Sometimes, people will even be invited to sing this poem directly in the form of a song to express their farewell feelings.
