These two poems use two allusions to express the poet's worries about "impermanence of life and lack of talents". If you add the first two sentences, you will better understand "Hehe!" Uneven fortune, ill-fated Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal. "
Bad luck, bad luck. Hey, I didn't feel anything when I was a child. Now I'm 30 years old, and I can't help crying when I see these two words again. Bitter, bittersweet, how can there be so many?
The allusion of "Feng Tang is easy to get old" comes from Historical Records and Biography of Feng Tang.
Feng Tang was a minister in the period of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty. Because of his integrity and selflessness, he was pushed out from time to time until his hair turned gray and he was not promoted. He's just an official. After Emperor Jingdi ascended the throne, Feng Tang was quickly dismissed from office because of his honest and clean character. After the death of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu ascended the throne, and the Huns invaded the frontier again. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also recruited sages and chose Feng Tang, but Feng Tang was over ninety years old, and he could no longer work. Later, people used Feng Tang's aging to describe it as hard to get old.
Li Guang, a flying general, is famous for his good fighting and bad luck. In the 14th year of Emperor Wendi (BC 166), Xiongnu invaded on a large scale. Li Guang, as the son of a good family, joined the army to fight the Huns. Because he was good at riding and shooting, he killed many enemies' heads, so he was appointed as the deputy commander of Hanting. Li Guang used to travel with the emperor, often taking the lead, resisting the enemy and killing wild animals. Emperor Wen said, "What a pity! You haven't met the right time yet. If we can catch up with the Gaozu era and seal a Wan Huhou, that's not a problem! " Li Guang was unlucky from the beginning.
Later, Li Guang made many brilliant achievements, but he was punished for some inexplicable reasons. He was either lost in the war or ambushed by the enemy. It's really unlucky. Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty considered Li Guang unlucky. Finally, because Li Guang was defeated in the battle, he didn't want to face the sword and pen collectors, and he had no money to atone, so he committed suicide.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, many people who were not as talented as Li Guang were blocked, except Fei Jiang Li Guang, who was not blocked until his death. Later generations often feel sorry for Li Guang's tragic fate.
Time also! Life also!
Bad luck, even if there is peerless talent, is also in vain; Life is a long way to go, even if all the efforts are wasted.
However, the struggle of life is interesting. As for the result, let it be.
This sentence comes from Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting.
Wang Bo quoted two historical figures here, one is Feng Tang and the other is Li Guang.
Feng Tang is honest and selfless. He spoke bluntly and offended many people. Therefore, it has never been reused by the emperor. He has been tossing for decades and is over 90 years old. He wants to reuse it, but he is at a loss.
Li Guang, a brave soldier, is tall and mighty. Emperor Wendi said that if he was born in the era of Emperor Gaozu, he would be able to seal a Wan Huhou. Explain that Li Guang was born at a bad time and had bad luck. Actually, it's just a refusal. Li Guang didn't seal Hou, mainly because he was foolhardy. As the saying goes, he is a stupid man.
What is the significance of quoting these two allusions in Preface to Wang Tengting, a youthful Wang Bo? Obviously, this is a metaphor for yourself.
As a matter of fact, I know why Wang Bo went to see his father.
Wang Bo was originally Pei Wang Li Xian's entourage in Wang Fu, but he was exiled because "the chicken of the king of England" offended Tang Gaozong. The young man is full of vigor and vitality, and there must be resentment. Therefore, I quoted these two sentences in Preface to Wang Teng-ting to describe my unfortunate fate.
The background of Teng Wang Ge's preface:
In 675 AD, Wang Bo went to Jiaotuo (in present-day Vietnam) to visit his father as a county magistrate. When Governor Yan passed through Hongdu (now Nanchang, Jiangxi Province), because the pavilion was rebuilt, he was scheduled to entertain scholars and guests here on September 9 th. His son-in-law, Wu, is very literary. Yan asked him to write a preface in advance so that he could show off in public. At that time, the famous scribe Wang Bo was also invited.
At the banquet, Yan made a gesture and invited the guests to make a preface. Everyone was not prepared in advance, so there was no excuse. When Wang invited him, he didn't refuse. He wrote a book on the spot and wrote the famous Preface to Wang Teng Pavilion in one breath, which was well received by all the guests. Yan also deeply admired it after reading it, thinking that this preface was much better than that written by his son-in-law, so he stopped letting Wu write it.
"Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal" comes from Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting.
Wang Bo, known as the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", drowned by boat at the age of 28. This "Teng Xu" was written by Wang Bo at the age of 23. Its background was Wang Jian, which caused the emperor's dissatisfaction and was relegated. On the way to be demoted, I went to see my father and passed through Hongzhou. This is when Teng Wangge rebuilt to catch up with the Double Ninth Festival on September 9, and invited the literati here. Wang Bo began to write, which aroused the dissatisfaction of other literati. When reading "Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn waters are the same", he said he was a great genius.
During the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Xiongnu attacked frequently. Liang Wudi asked his ministers to recommend who would repel the Huns. Feng Tang was recommended, but Feng Tang was 90 years old and unable to resist the Huns. He didn't get much attention when he was young. "Li Guang is hard to seal" Li Guang, known as General Fei. He was brave and good at fighting and repelled the Huns many times. The Huns were scared when they heard Li Guang's fame, but they were not blocked.
These two sentences echoed Wang Bo's demotion at that time and his lack of talent. Later, these two sentences basically expressed the feeling of talent failure.
A book gentleman answered this question:
The phrase "Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal" comes from the hand of Wang Bo, a poet in Tang Dynasty. He said in the famous poem "Preface to the Autumn Farewell Wang Teng Ting": "Hehe! Bad luck, ill-fated, Feng Tang easy to get old, Li Guang difficult to seal. ……"
Let's take a look first. "Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal" are actually two allusions. Wang Bo quoted two historical figures here, one is Feng Tang and the other is Li Guang.
Let's talk about "Feng Tang is easy to get old"
This allusion comes from Biography of Historical Records and Feng Tang.
Feng Tang was a minister in the period of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty. Because of his integrity and selflessness, he is often excluded. Even if the new emperor ascended the throne, he was dismissed from office many times because of his honest and frank personality. I can't get a promotion until my hair turns gray. In the end, he is nothing more than a Langguan.
Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, and Xiongnu invaded the frontier. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty recruited wise men, and Feng Tang was chosen.
But by that time, Feng Tang was over 90 years old. After decades of tossing and turning, he wanted to reuse it, but he was unable to work.
Later, people used "phoenix hall is easy to get old" to describe it as not easy to get old.
Learn more about "Li Guang is hard to seal"
Li Guang, Han nationality, born in Ji Cheng, Longxi (now Qin 'an County, Tianshui, Gansu), was a famous Western Han Dynasty.
He is brave and brave, tall and brave, and has participated in all previous battles against Xiongnu. After more than 70 battles, Huns called him "Flying General".
He went through all the hardships in his life, but he didn't get a knighthood because of his outstanding military achievements. Later, in the pursuit of the Huns, he committed suicide because he was lost and angry.
Later, people often refer to Li Guang as "high achievement and good fortune". ″
So what did Wang Bo, a young poet, express by quoting these two allusions in Preface to Wang Tengting?
Let's follow You Shujun to understand the author Wang Bo and his creative background, so as to truly understand the profound meaning he expressed by quoting these two allusions:
Wang Bo, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was born in Longmen, Jiangzhou. He is brilliant, so are Yang Jiong, Lu, Wang. He is known as the "Four Masters of Early Tang Dynasty", and Wang Bo ranks first.
He became famous at a young age and was called a prodigy. 16 years old, the first in the imperial examination, but his career has been unsatisfactory.
Tang Gaozong was expelled from the government because of a cockfighting article "The King of Chicken". Later, because of arrogance, he was jealous and framed, and ended his career.
In fact, this preface to Wang Teng-ting was written when he visited his father in the south and passed by Hongdu.
Therefore, Wang Bo used these two people to describe his unfortunate situation, and Feng Tang and Li Guang to describe his deep fear of "getting old is easy, but ambition is hard to stretch".
People like Feng Tang, who have a good reputation and have both ability and political integrity, have no knowledge and skills, so they can't be reused. Only when their hair turns white and their head turns white can they get a chance to display their talents. Indeed, Wang Bo, separated by more than 700 years, once lamented that "Feng Tang is easy to get old".
Look at Li Guang again. Even though the swan song ""made Dragon City fly, it didn't teach Huma to cross the Yinshan Mountain "".The Xiongnu's "Flying General" was frightening and didn't get a reward in the end. It's really regrettable that the value of talents was not displayed.
Wang Bo has no chance to contribute to the country. But he was not willing to do nothing, so he had to use articles to express his lofty aspirations.
Then ""Hehe! Bad luck, ill-fated
Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal "",which not only expresses the lamentation that he was born at an untimely time, but also expresses his extreme dissatisfaction with the feudal system at that time!
Therefore, through the analysis, it seems that you can still see an aspiring young man. Although he is in a bad situation, he still has a positive voice, as well as his criticism and helplessness in the management of feudal ruling talents.
At the same time, the allusion of "Feng Tang is easy to get old, Li Guang is hard to seal" also makes Wang Bo understand that the reason why Feng Tang and Li Guang can't be reused has a lot to do with Feng Tang's talent arrogance and Li Guang's reckless personality, as well as their disposition towards people, things and things.
Reflecting on the reason why I have this situation is because my personality combines the commonness of two people. Therefore, it is also "ill-fated and brilliant."
It's a pity that Wang Bo was really "born out of time, but he didn't meet his talent". After writing this historic masterpiece, he unfortunately drowned, jealous of genius and died young. He didn't have a chance to realize his great ambition, leaving only these eternal quatrains for the world to recite. What a pity!
The above is Shu Jun's personal opinion for discussion!
This sentence comes from Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting. I believe everyone has studied this ancient prose in high school.
The original paragraph reads as follows:
"Ah! Bad luck, bad luck. Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal. Qu Jiayi is in Changsha, not without a master; Is there no time to escape from Hongliang to Haiqu? A gentleman plays it by ear and knows the world. When you are old and strong, would you rather be moved? If you are poor, you will think about it, and you will not lose your ambition. "
It is hard to describe that people are old and ill-fated.
This is the mood when Wang Bo wrote Preface to Wang Tengting. Wang Bo thought, I am so talented, but you exiled me. This old emperor really pissed me off. In fact, Wang Bo offended Tang Gaozong by writing The Golden Rooster, and went to find his father. After writing this historic article "Preface to Wang Tengting", he went to see his father and drowned on his way home, which was considered as an early death.
Feng Tang is getting old quickly.
Feng Tang was a minister during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty. He is famous for his filial piety, and is regarded as the the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Department. Because of his integrity and selflessness, courage to make suggestions and selflessness, he was always pushed out everywhere until his hair turned gray and he was old, and he was not promoted. He's just an official.
It is difficult for Li Guang to get promoted.
Li Guang, a "flying general" in Han Dynasty, was loyal and patriotic, but his character and ability were lacking. Although he is famous for his bravery and general bearing in small-scale battles, Li Guang always makes mistakes in big battles, and there is no big record at all, so Li Guang has not been blocked until his death.
There are two allusions to this sentence, which are the experiences of Han officials Feng Tang and Li Guang. Borrowing the experience of two people, this sentence is to express the depressed mood of being old and having skills but not being reused.
Because Li Guang is the most famous, I will tell you the story of Li Guang.
Li Guang was a general in the Western Han Dynasty. In the war against Xiongnu, he was brave and good at fighting, and made many meritorious deeds. He is called the flying general.
At that time, soldiers were counted according to their heads. There were strict rules on how many people you killed and what level of credit you gave. Although Li Guang won numerous battles and repelled countless Huns, he did not kill as many enemies as others. Of course, the general will not kill the enemy himself. His contribution is calculated according to the total number of soldiers who killed the enemy in a war.
At that time, it was an honor that all military commanders dreamed of, and Li Guang was no exception. However, he has won many battles in his life, but the number of enemies he can kill has never reached the standard of sealing Hou. On the other hand, he is straightforward and easy to offend people. So I didn't seal it until I died.
Therefore, Li Guang's failure was described by later generations.
Besides, Feng Tang gets old easily.
Feng Tang was also a figure in the Western Han Dynasty, a court bodyguard. As an honest man, he speaks too straight and often offends people, so he is pushed out by people everywhere and works until he is old.
One day the emperor passed by, saw him and asked him why he was still a bodyguard at such a big age. During the conversation, the emperor saw that he was a talented man and promoted him to a captain. But his temper is still the same, especially honest and frank, and the same is true when talking to the emperor, and he doesn't give others face. Later, he was demoted for this.
After a long time, the old emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, people recommended talents, and some people thought of him. But at this time, he is 90 years old, too old to walk, and he can't come out as an official.
Therefore, there is an allusion that Feng Tang is easy to get old, describing that a talented person can no longer be reused when he is old.
Finally, post a poem by the ancients describing the flying general Li Guang.
In the dark forest, the grass was suddenly blown by the wind, and the wind was rustling. The general thought that the beast was coming and immediately pulled out the arrow. Dawn went to look for the arrow, which had gone deep into the edge of the stone.
To understand the meaning of the sentence "Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is difficult to seal", we must first understand the sources of these two allusions and the two characters of Feng Tang and Li Guang.
"Feng Tang is easy to be old, but Li Guang is hard to be sealed" comes from the famous poem "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion" written by Wang Bo, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Bo was a child prodigy. He was only in his twenties when he died, but he was known as the "Four Masters of Early Tang Dynasty". It is said that he could write an article at the age of six and correct Yan Shigu's mistakes when he was nine. At the age of sixteen, he took the exam and was appointed to this position. Originally, the future was bright. Later, Tang Gaozong was offended by writing Cockfighting, and he was demoted. Later, he tried to join the army for Zhou Guo, but when he joined the army, he was demoted twice for killing officials and slaves in private. In the second year of Tang Gaozong's reign, he went to Jiao Jiao to visit his father and passed through Hongzhou, which coincided with the Double Ninth Festival. At that time, Yan, the secretariat of Hongzhou, rebuilt the pavilion built by his son Ren Hongzhou when he was the secretariat of Hongzhou, and hosted a banquet for guests and made fun of poetry on the Double Ninth Festival. Wang Bo also took part in this grand activity, improvising poetry and writing this preface.
Feng Tang generally knows that there is a modern writer whose pen name is Feng Tang. Feng Tang here was from the Han Dynasty, from the Three Dynasties to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but he was too old to be an official.
Li Guang may know more. He is also a native of the Han Dynasty. He has made outstanding achievements all his life, but he is unlucky, and he can't be named Hou all his life.
Wang Bo used the experience of "Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal" to express his ill-fated and extremely unlucky experience. Wang Bo is short-lived. The following August after writing this preface, he returned from crossing the sea and drowned on tiptoe. He was 26 years old.
In order to answer this question, I specially read Historical Records. Historical Records Biography of Zhang Shizhi and Feng Tang records that Feng Tang was filial and served as a corps commander and Emperor Wen. Later, I didn't know the taboo, and I repeatedly angered the emperor and couldn't get a promotion. When Jingdi becomes Chu Xiang, it's not necessary. By the time Emperor Wu wanted to find Feng Tang to be an official, Feng Tang was over ninety years old and could no longer be an official.
Feng Tang experienced the periods of Emperor Wendi, Emperor Jingdi and Emperor Wudi, and his official career was not good.
General Li Li Guang is good at riding and shooting. He is stupid and conceited. In order to crack down on Xiongnu's violation of military orders, he once lured and killed the enemy, and was caught by Xiongnu because he was too close to shoot an arrow. These factors accumulated, he could only be a general, and later he was unwilling to commit suicide against the knife and pencil collector. He fought against the Huns for more than 70 times in his life, and he could not be sealed, so it was difficult to seal Li Guang.
Wang Bo wrote in the later Tang Dynasty that Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is difficult to seal Hou. This allusion means that even if a person is talented and capable, he will be unlucky and have a bad life.
There are many famous sentences and allusions in Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting, but what saddens you most is the sentence "Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal". To understand the meaning, we must first understand these two allusions.
0 1 Feng Tang Yi Lao's Biography of Historical Records and Feng Tang contains: During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Feng Tang became a Langguan (a small official in the Han Dynasty) because of his filial piety.
He is brilliant and ambitious, but he is honest and selfless, dares to make suggestions, does not care about personal interests, offends powerful people without knowing it, so he is excluded everywhere.
Finally, Wendi remembered him and appointed him as the captain of the chariot, but after Jingdi ascended the throne, he was dismissed from office until his hair turned gray and he was nearly 80 years old.
When others recommended Feng Tang to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, he was already over 90 years old.
Later, scholars used "Feng Tang is easy to get old" to describe the depression and fleeting time at that time.
02 Li Guang can't seal "but make Longcheng fly, don't teach Humadu Yinshan", which means flying to Li Guang. When fighting against Xiongnu, he put his life and death at risk, took the lead, fought bravely, participated in countless battles and made outstanding achievements.
It's every soldier's dream to seal a Hou, but Li Guang is unlucky and always loses at the critical moment. Many generals were appointed at the same time, and he was not appointed until his death.
Later generations often use the phrase "Li Guang can't be sealed" to describe a person who has achieved great success and failed all his life.
In a word, these two allusions have the meaning of frustration, so what does Wang Bo use them to express?
1. I feel that life is impermanent and my talents are not met.
Wang Bo is a "prodigy" from heaven. He started writing at the age of six, took an exam at the age of sixteen and was appointed as a teacher. Young and famous, full of ambition, looking forward to making great achievements in the court.
However, due to the death of a cockfighting article, he was driven out of Wang Fu, and later he was demoted for killing officials and slaves privately. After that, he missed his career.
He had a high starting point, and the opportunity appeared, but he missed the opportunity and could no longer display his ambition. Therefore, Feng Tang used himself as a metaphor to express his inner helplessness and helplessness over the passage of time.
2. Hint that powerful people give opportunities.
In the autumn of the second year of Yuan Dynasty (675), Wang Bo went to Jiao Jiao to visit his father. When I passed by Nanchang, I was just catching up with Yan Xinjian Pavilion, the governor of Nanchang, where a banquet was held on the Double Ninth Festival.
There are many important people at the party, so it is easy to recommend Wang Bo. He understood this, and wrote, "Bad luck, ill-fated, Feng Tang is easy to get old, Li Guang is hard to seal".
He blamed the failure of Feng Tang and Li Guang on bad luck and rough life. Explain that he is like this and can't blame others.
He suggested that in order to avoid repeating history and give talented people a chance to display their talents, the guests should also have a heroic vision and give Wang a chance.
Warn people to cherish time and do it bravely.
Reading "Feng Tang is easy to get old, Li Guang is hard to get sealed" today not only expresses frustration, but also shows that time is fleeting and hard work may not be rewarded.
Time flies, so we should cherish it, try everything we want to do and pursue our dreams when we are young and energetic. Don't follow in Feng Tang's footsteps when you are old and weak, and regret for life.
Li Guang has worked hard all his life, but we may not be able to realize our dreams. But it is enough that we have worked hard, enjoyed the process and lived up to our youth.
"Feng Tang is easy to get old", don't wait until tomorrow; "Li Guang is hard to seal", so don't take the result too seriously, be yourself, be yourself.
In addition to the fatalism of untimely birth, this also expresses a deep helplessness. Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal. This sentence comes from Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting. Wang Bo used allusions from Feng Tang and Li Guang to describe his lack of talent and luck.
The stories of Feng Tang and Li Guang are all from Historical Records. Feng Tang was famous for his filial piety and integrity, but because he was too outspoken and didn't know anything, he was pushed out by his colleagues everywhere. Until his later years, he was still the lowest-ranking official. Finally, once, Emperor Wen of Han saw him, realized his talent, and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of chariots and horses, in charge of the warriors of chariots and horses. However, the good times did not last long. After Emperor Han Jing succeeded to the throne, Feng Tang remained selfless, honest and upright, and was excluded from the official position. Until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne and the Huns invaded the border, Feng Tang was recommended. Unfortunately, he was over 90 years old at that time and could not serve his country. He has a skill and a good quality, but he has struggled all his life.
Li Guang is another kind of sadness. He has the ability to defend, but the current dynasty needs offensive players, the ability to arrange troops and the overall situation. Seeing that the generals around us, such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, are young and promising, and they are highly valued because of their family background, it is difficult to establish hard-earned military achievements, and it is difficult to achieve the road of sealing Hou. At this time, he finally had a chance to show himself. Of course he wants to catch it and be a striker. But Wei Qing only asked him to be a flank, knowing that this was the last fight, but he still got lost, and eventually delayed the fighter plane, so he could only commit suicide.
What happened to them is not in line with their talent, they can't keep up with the times, and their stomachs are out of date. At the same time, it is also the sorrow of personal ability limitation. There are some limitations that people can never surpass, and all efforts are in vain. I'm really disappointed when I think about it.
