Reader comments
Speaking of the literati in the Southern Song Dynasty who were talented in literature and martial arts, many people know Xin Qiji, and Lu You, what people often think of is the love between Shen Yuan and Tang Wan. Wu Song's fight against tigers is a household name, but Wu Song is fictional, and Lu You's fight against tigers is rarely known. Compared with Xin Qiji's life, Lu You's life was obviously more bumpy, because Qin Hui's obstruction caused Lu You's best youth to not be appreciated by the king. He was poor all his life, good at military affairs and benefiting the people. He has an upright character, and his patriotism is not only about talking about military affairs on paper, but also going to the front line personally and enjoying it.
The author's writing style does not have too many gorgeous words, it just tells the story of Lu You's ups and downs and troubled life. After reading Lu You, some people say he resembles Li Bai, but I think he is more like Du Fu. Lu You's patriotism is deep and passionate, and his poems are also passionate and full of worries, unlike Li Bai's elegant and unrestrained. In terms of historical background alone, Lu You and Du Fu are more alike. They are all in a state where the country's prosperity is gone and the mountains and rivers are in ruins. The difference is that Du Fu will be more sad because of the wars and the mourning everywhere; while the Southern Song Dynasty mostly chose to stay in a corner.
If you want to read a biography this year, I strongly recommend everyone to read "The Biography of Lu You". The trajectory of a poet's life is intertwined with the historical background of a dynasty. I think the charm of biographies is that we can sympathize with the joys and sorrows of historical figures, and we can also feel the elegance and loneliness of an era from personal experience.
Whenever I come into contact with such books, I feel deeply grateful to be a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. I am grateful for the unique romance in Chinese history and the soul exploration and sublimation brought by poetry, books, rituals and music.
In the two Song Dynasties, there were so many heroes who were wiped out by waves, and the mountains and rivers were full of smoke, and they were indescribably magnificent. Attached below is "The Hairpin-Headed Phoenix" by Lu You and Tang Wan, which is filled with deep feelings and goes back to the past; the peach blossoms are still there, but the spring breeze does not blow away.
This is a biography about Lu You, a scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty. Through the description of Lu You's life and creation, the author demonstrates his outstanding achievements and unique style in the field of literature. This book not only explores Lu You's poetic works and ideological views in depth, but also restores his struggle and persistence in turbulent times. Through the review and analysis of Lu You, the book arouses readers' thinking and understanding of literary creation and the meaning of life. It is a precious literary biography that allows us to better understand Lu You's artistic achievements and background of the times.
"After death, I know that everything is in vain, but the sorrow is not shared by all the nine states. On the day when Wang Shibei set the Central Plains, the family sacrifices will not be forgotten." Everyone should be familiar with this poem. This book describes Lu You's life. He has always had a sincere heart, allowing us to see his unswerving heart of saving the country and the people. Although he is not an authentic Confucian, he lives up to the Confucian ideal of "Han Guoping Tianxia" throughout his life without regrets. This is a poet, but his achievements are not only in literature, but also in the family, country and world.
A patriotic poet, an old man who loves the people, a person who has ideals and serves the country, a person who puts his own life aside, a poet, a philosopher, an old man who is both civilized and military, who has been through ups and downs and was deeply hit, but still has not changed his original intention to serve the country loyally. I sincerely admire and have incomparable respect and love.
Lu You's ambition is hard to achieve, which reminds me of those friends around me who work hard but have no talent. Lu You in the book is still a love interest, which reminds me of what happened when we were young! However, I kind of hate Lu You's mother. She is too strong. She has to bear a lot of responsibility for Lu You's love tragedy! Overall, this book has both the rigor of a scholar and the romance of a poet. It is worth reading!
Good-looking, easy to understand, and humorous
A chivalrous poet with a motherland in mind
Very good, I like it better
