"Reading the Classics: The First of the Seven Rhythms of the Ancient and Modern Worlds

The last time I mentioned that Roy Cui's "Ascent to the Yellow Crane Tower" was named the first of the Tang dynasty's seven rhythms, Li Bai was so overwhelmed that he couldn't even turn over. However, as the saying goes, "there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts", and the name of the first is bound to be criticized by countless people. Cui Hao's poem is really good, but he is not very famous. When it comes to Tang poetry, Li Du is an absolute icon, so much so that later poets with the surname Li and Du could only be referred to as "Little Li Du" (just kidding, I believe that Li Shangyin and Du Mu won't mind). Li Bai is so elegant and elegant that he doesn't care about the fame, but Du Fu is such an all-rounded poet who worries about the country and the people, who writes a lot of books, and who is so talented and delicate in his feelings, so how can scholars of the later generations see that he didn't take the first place! So later generations selected Du Fu's seven rhythms "Ascension", but did not rob Roy Cui "Tang Dynasty seven rhythms first" name, directly sealed the " ancient and modern seven rhythms first"!

"Miles of sadness often as a guest, a hundred years of sickness alone on the stage" sentence was praised as "layers and layers, two sentences into eight layers of grief.

The first layer: "as a guest". Here is not to other people's homes to enjoy good food and drink, but an unhappy state of life. Ancient people have a deep sense of native place, there are such as "parents in the not far away" and other sayings, away from home called "guest", there is a "fence" feeling, old are willing to return home, the least of which is to die and be buried in the native soil. is buried in the hometown after death in the native soil, so sometimes depressed hard will say "where the yellow earth does not bury people", meaning "I even die after home burial do not care about what can be".

The second layer: "often" as a guest. The guest is already very unhappy, but also often (often, for a long time) as a guest in his hometown, the feeling of helplessness is obvious.

The third layer: "sad autumn" often as a guest. "Girls think of spring, the scribe sad autumn" a wisp of cold wind swept through, the sky yellow leaves fall. Literati can't stand this bleak, all the words describing the fall seem to be with a cry (please make up the two springs reflecting the moon, although the fall is the harvest season, but that's the feelings of the farmers ah, cultural people have to be "noble" ah). The most important thing to remember is that you can't be a good person, but you can be a good person, and you can be a good person.

The fourth layer: "Miles" sad fall often as a guest. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and every time the word "miles" appeared, it almost meant that it was far away and completely isolated. The first is that it is not possible to get the best out of the world, but it is possible to get the best out of the world.

The fifth layer: "ascend to the stage". Climbing to the platform should be looking far away, looking far away is looking at the hometown. Many attractions will be similar to the "Wangxiang building" such a building, is the ancient people living in a foreign land to the people of a high melancholy (hua) despair (qian) place.

The sixth level: "alone" on the stage. Dengtai homesickness must be accompanied by someone to talk about, the so-called "distant brotherhood of the high place, all inserted Cornus less a person". A person climbed the stairs, just think of the back of the desolate enough.

Seventh floor: "sick" alone on the stage. Sickness is the time when the spirit of the person is most likely to be weak, the ancient medical level is not very high, a disease is not down or even a death is very common, so "sick" body is afraid of what bad things are thought of, and at this time a person climbed to look at the countryside, it is not necessary to think about "where the green hills buried loyal bone "The first thing I want to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what is going on in your life.

Eighth floor: "a hundred years" sick alone on the stage. "Hundred years" is a false reference, that is, the number of years old, not to be a hundred years old, and often as a literary euphemism for "death death" (the "hundred years of good luck" does not count). The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and you'll be able to do it all at once.

The eight layers of sadness together:

A wind and candles old man, will be dead wood, displacement, year-round guest in to the home away from home 10,000 miles away, in the withered leaves fly bleak late fall, dragging the sickly body, a person alone and lonely climbed the (riverside) high building, look into the distance, thinking about their loved ones.

These two sentences, put in the drama play twenty minutes certainly no problem!

In an age of so much information, it's good to re-read the classics.
