I wish you a long life, I wish you a long life. When will the moon come out? Let's drink and ask the sky. What is the background of this poem?

Su Shi ("Song of Water") (I was drunk during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the year Bichen, and I composed this poem in remembrance of Ziyu.)

When will the bright moon come? I'm going to drink and ask the sky. I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go home by the wind, but I'm afraid that I can't stand the coldness of the jeweled buildings. I want to dance and make clear shadows, but it's not like being on earth! I can't sleep at all in the dark. There should not be hate, why is it always round at the time of parting? People have sadness and happiness, the moon has a sunny day, this matter can not be complete. But I wish you a long life, a thousand miles of **** Canyuan Juan.

This song was written by the author when he was in Mizhou in the mid-autumn of the ninth year of Emperor Xining of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty. During this period, Su Shi, because of his political differences with Wang Anshi and others who were in power to change the law, asked for his own exile, and moved from place to place as an official. He once asked to be transferred to a place closer to Su Zhe in order to have more meetings with his brothers. After arriving at Mizhou, this wish still could not be realized. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the white moon in the sky, silver glory everywhere, and brother Su Zhe after the separation, turn of the eye has not been reunited for seven years. At this moment, the lyricist facing a round of bright moon, the heart fluctuates, so by the wine is full of excitement, wielded the pen to write this famous piece. The small preface before the words explains the process of writing the words: "bingchen mid-autumn festival, drink up to the day, drunk. I was very drunk. I wrote this piece and remembered Ziyu." Obviously, this lyric reflects the author's complex and contradictory thoughts and feelings. On the one hand, it shows that the author had great political ambitions, although he was already 41 years old at that time, and was in Mizhou far away from Kyoto, politically very unhappy, but he was still full of confidence in the reality and ideals; on the other hand, because of the political disillusionment, the ideals can not be realized, the talent can not be used, and thus a strong dissatisfaction with the reality, and grows the passive avoidance of the world's thinking and feelings. However, it is the love of life and positive optimism that is expressed in the words that runs through all the time.

Among the natural scenery, the moon is very romantic, and she can easily inspire people's artistic associations. A hook of the crescent moon, can be associated with the budding things; a full moon, can be associated with a beautiful reunion life; the moon's bright, let a person associated with the bright and open personality. In the moon this imagery concentrated on how many beautiful human visions and ideals! Su Shi is a bold character, temperament and romantic poet, when he looked up at the moon in the mid-autumn, his thoughts and feelings as if on the wings, heaven and earth free to soar.

The first piece is about enjoying the moon in the mid-autumn festival, and the moon triggers the fantasy of the heavenly fairyland. The starting line is strange and unusual, the lyricist uses Li Bai's poem "How long will the moon be in the blue sky, I will stop the cup to ask about it" (Ask the Moon with Wine) to introduce the reader to the vast world of time and space with philosophical meanings with a line of questioning. The lyricist's question seems to trace the origin of the bright moon and the beginning of the universe, but also seems to praise the beauty of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the ingenuity of creation. It contains the lyricist's feelings of praise and longing for the bright moon. The reason why the author uses Li Bai's poetry is that Li Bai's moon poems are widely circulated, and secondly, Su Shi often compares himself to Li Bai, which is also implied here. The tone of Li Bai's poem is relatively soothing, but Su Shi's words seem to be abrupt and precipitous when they are changed into questions. Su Shi took the sky as his friend and asked him about his wine, showing his bold character and extraordinary spirit. The two lines of "I don't know" are a question before, guiding the reader to think about the universe and life as a big issue. "The palace in the sky" to "bright moon", "what night is this night" to "a few times", needle and thread. Continue to ask questions, but also to the moon's praise for the feelings of yearning to advance a layer. Ask questions, think and can not be solved, and then produced "I want to go back by the wind" of reverie. Li Bai is known as the "Exiled Immortal", and Su Shi is also known as the "Po Xian". Lyricist here suddenly thought, intends to go back to the "heaven" home, to explore the time and space of the ancient mystery. Su Shi had a high self-esteem and regarded himself as an "Exiled Immortal", so of course he was able to ride the wind back home to see if "this evening" on earth is the same as the year in the sky. Is the fairyland better than the earth? The reason why the lyricist has this kind of fantasy of getting away from the world and transcending nature comes from his curiosity about the mystery of the universe on the one hand, and his dissatisfaction with the reality of the world on the other hand. There are so many unsatisfactory and unsatisfactory things in the world, forcing the lyricist to fantasize about getting rid of this troublesome world, and going to the jade palace to live a free and easy life of the immortals. Su Shi later relegated to Huangzhou, sometimes have similar fantasies, the so-called "boat from the past, the river and the sea to send the rest of his life", as well as "the former Red Cliff Fugue" describing their own under the moon in the canoe when the floating feeling of immortality, are generated in the same ideological basis ****. However, this is only an intention in the lyric, which is interrupted by another opposite thought before it can be developed: "I am afraid that the jeweled buildings are too high to be cold". These two lines take a sharp turn, although the "Qiong Lou Jade Yu" in the sky is rich and beautiful, but it is too cold to live there for a long time. The lyricist deliberately identifies the shortcomings in the beauty of the sky to strengthen his determination to stay on earth. One positive and one negative, revealing the lyricist's love for life on earth. At the same time, here is still writing about the mid-autumn moonlight scene, the reader can appreciate the beauty of the moon, as well as the coldness of the moonlight. This twist shows the ambivalence of the lyricist who is both in love with the earth and longing for heaven. This contradiction can more profoundly illustrate the lyricist's thoughts and feelings of staying in the world and loving life, showing the lyricist's open-mindedness and far-reaching ambition, thus bringing a kind of open-minded style to the lyrics. Instead of flying to the cold moon palace, it is better to stay on earth and dance under the moonlight, at least you can still be accompanied by your own clear shadow. From "I want to" to "and fear" to "how similar" in the opening and closing of the psychological twists and turns, showing the ups and downs of Su Shi's emotions. He finally returned to reality from the illusion, and in the contradictory entanglement between the world and the world, the idea of the world eventually prevailed. "Why is it like being on earth" is an unquestionable affirmation, and the eloquent writing shows the intensity of the emotion.

The next piece is about looking at the moon and remembering people, that is, remembering Ziyu at the same time, and at the same time remembering the impermanence of life. The change of head from the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival to the separation of the human world. As the moon shifts in the depths of the night, the moonlight passes through the pavilion and shines close to the door, illuminating the person in the room who has not been able to go to sleep. Here it refers to the deep feeling of nostalgia for one's younger brother, but it can also refer to all those who can't sleep because they can't be reunited with their relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival. How regrettable it is that the moon is full but the people are not! The lyricist blames the full moon for no reason: "There should be no hate, why is it always round when it is not?" In contrast, it adds to the sorrow of the departed. Unreasonable tone further set off the lyricist miss brother's brother's deep affection, but also implicitly expressed the unfortunate departure of the sympathy. After all, the lyricist is open-minded, he then thought of the moon is also innocent, then turned for the moon to excuse: "people have sadness and happiness, the moon has the yin and ying and round and short, this matter can not be complete." Since this is the case, why be sad about the temporary parting? These three lines summarize the situation from people to the moon and from ancient times to the present. In terms of tone, it seems to be answering the previous question on behalf of the moon; in terms of structure, it is pushing away another layer, transitioning from the opposition of man and the moon to the integration of man and the moon. To justify the moon, the essence is to emphasize the optimism of the personnel, and at the same time to send hope for the future. Because there is a time when the moon is full, and there is a time when people get together. Therefore, the ending of the poem, "I wish", introduces a good wish. "Wish for a long time" is to break through the limitations of time, "thousands of miles ***Chanjuan" is to break through the barrier of space, so that the moon *** with the love of each other separated people together. These two lines are not general masturbation and **** encouragement, but show the author's attitude to deal with time, space and some major issues of life, fully showing the richness of the lyricist's spiritual realm. Zhang Jiuling "looking at the moon," said: "the moon at sea, the end of the world *** this time"; Xu Hun "Autumn clearing send far" said: "only should wait for the moon, thousands of miles with the gentleman," Su Shi is the poetic interpretation of the former to their own works, melting into the world of the world away from the people of **** with good wishes. * with good wishes.

The whole word set the scene clear and majestic, such as the moonlight in the vast cold world, heaven, the earth back and forth galloping open space. The combination of this background and the open-mindedness and optimism of the lyricist, who is beyond his own joys and sorrows, typifies the style of Su's words, which are clear and open-minded.

It is obvious that this lyric reflects the author's complex and contradictory thoughts and feelings. On the one hand, it shows that the author had great political ambitions, although he was already 41 years old and was in Mizhou far away from Kyoto, politically very unsatisfactory, but he was still full of confidence in reality and ideals; on the other hand, due to the political disillusionment, ideals can not be realized, the talent can not be used, and thus a strong dissatisfaction with reality, and grows the negative avoidance of the world's ideological feelings. However, it is the love of life and positive optimism shown in the words that runs through all the time.
