This is the thirty-sixth time for The Journey to the West.
Tang priest went out to pee and saw the bright moon in the sky, which was poetic. The poem of four people was written by Cao Xueqin in A Dream of Red Mansions. In other words, everyone's poems are not idle, from which we can see his character and interest.
First, look at the Tang priest's poem about the moon: "When the sky hangs a mirror, the mountains and rivers are full of shadows. Qionglou Yuyu is clear and full of light, and the ice is clear and the silver plate is cool. Wan Li's face is bright at this time, and it is the brightest and freshest tonight. . . . . . . Come to the temple quietly tonight and go home that day. " This poem shows the Tang Priest's sadness and homesickness for the moon. But I don't quite understand the meaning of the moon. No wonder the Monkey King criticized the Tang Priest and said, "Master, you only know that the moonlight is brilliant. You care about your hometown, but you don't know the meaning of the middle of the month. This is a rule of the laws of nature. Then it expounds what is "dark", what is "around" and what is "around", that is, the month to the 30th is "dark". At this time, the gold of the yang soul is exhausted, and the water of the ghost is full, so it is pure black and dull. The third day to the eighth day is "winding". At this time, one yang and two yang are all there, and the soul is half in the soul, as flat as a rope. On the 15th, Sanyang prepared for a reunion, so it was called "Wang". From 16th to 22nd, one yin and two yin were born. At this time, the soul is half full and flat as a rope, which is called "lower chord". On the 30th, Yin San's shadow was fully prepared and returned to the "darkness".
Therefore, the Monkey King recited his own poem: "After the first string, before Hou Xian, the medicine tastes mediocre." . I went back to the furnace and went west. "This poem expresses the Monkey King's confidence in learning from the West, which means that everything is tempered, where there is a will, there is a way. This is obviously much more positive than Tang Priest.
Let's look at Friar Sand's poem about the moon: "Fire and water are in harmony, and the earth is the mother. There is no dispute among the three families, and the water is in the Yangtze River. " This poem shows Friar Sand's love for being a peacemaker. Harmony is the most important. Fire and water blend together, so does mother earth. The water is in the Yangtze River and the moon is in the sky, which shows that Friar Sand is quiet and natural.
Finally, Pig Bajie appeared: "I reunited soon after I disappeared, as if I was born imperfect. He skillfully edited the blessings, and I was stupid. May you learn from three paintings and shake your head straight to heaven! " This poem can only come from the mouth of an old pig, which is not only awkward, but also vulgar and inferior. However, the four poets' poems are all about mystery and interest, just like the argument about how long the red flag can last, which not only shows the doubts and feelings at that time, but also implies the result of sealing the gods after learning from the West.
It can be seen that the moon phase's poems this time are not only a bright spot, but also an important joint to understand the inside story of the school group.
