Liu Yuxi, the word Mengde, was called “Poetry Hao” by later generations “, a famous poet in the mid-Tang Dynasty, his poems are in a style of their own, and they are also very interesting to write, especially his later works, which are not only lyrical, but also full of philosophy; in fact, Tang poetry is mainly lyrical, but Liu Yuxi Because of his rich life experience and suffering, the works he created are naturally different. Due to his participation in the “Yongzhen Reform” in his early years, this originally vigorous reform ended in failure. Liu Yuxi and many others People were banished to other places, first to Hunan, and then to Lingnan and Sichuan. It was this experience that gave him a deeper understanding of life, and the works he created naturally appeared. Unique.
Although Liu Yuxi returned to the eastern capital Luoyang in his later years, everything is not the same as before. Many good friends They are all gone. During this period, he met Bai Juyi, and the two shared the same illness. Therefore, during this period, the two of them established a deep friendship. Bai Juyi wrote many poems to Liu Yuxi, and he also gave back to each other. For example, everyone is most familiar with them. The “Reward to Le Tian Yangzhou at the first meeting at the banquet” is a classic. It is very sad and full of profound philosophy, especially the two sentences on the neck link are extremely profound: a thousand sails pass by the side of the sinking boat. , There are thousands of trees in front of the sick tree. These two poems are precisely integrated into Liu Yuxi’s interpretation of life, so it is amazing to read.
So in addition to the previously introduced “Rewarding Le Tian Yangzhou First Meeting at the Banquet”, There is also this piece of “Answer to See and Gift at Lotte Lindu Station”, which is also a rare classic. The whole chapter is also written very deeply, full of poetry everywhere, and the philosophy is also ready to come out. From such a small poem, we can most feel the poet’s unique talent and his profound interpretation of life.
The waves on the edge of Beigu Mountain, the dust in the city of Dongdu.

The first two sentences are written very deeply. There is a lofty artistic conception, “The waves on the Beigu Mountain, the dust in the city of Dongdu.” These two poems are also relatively easy to understand. I have seen the waves in the Beigu Mountain, and now I have returned to the Dongdu. dust. Liu Yuxi expressed his inner grief and his own views on life, so he wrote very touchingly.
The third and fourth sentences are more philosophical and more profound, “The world is different, so how can the newcomer be like the old one?”, the things in this world are beyond our control, and our thoughts are always unsatisfactory. Like an old friend? The last sentence clarifies the theme, and immediately makes the poem look very sad, and it is also amazing to read.
