allusion

The sentence "Tao Li is self-evident, and the bottom is self-evident" comes from the famous general Li Guang in the early Han Dynasty, who is a famous horseman and shooter. Lu Lun, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, said: "the forest is dark, the grass is windy, and the general bows at night. Pingming looks for the white feather, not in the stone ridge. " It describes the story of General Li Guang's magic power shooting an arrow into a stone. Li Guang joined the army from the time of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, passed through emperor Jing, and took part in almost every battle against Xiongnu until the time of Emperor Wu. At that time, the Huns in the north often invaded the South and harassed the border areas. Xiongnu soldiers are good at riding and shooting. They come and go indefinitely. They are unpredictable and difficult to deal with. Li Guang led the army many times and went deep into the enemy's front. He fought for more than 70 times in his life. The Hun soldiers were afraid of him, and Shan Yu was also in awe of Li Guang's prestige. However, the Han Dynasty did not attach importance to him and attacked him many times. In his last battle with the Xiongnu in his 60s, Li Guang, a former general, lost his way and failed to take part in the war, so he was ashamed to commit suicide. At that time, all the officers and men in the army were crying. When the people heard the news, they couldn't help crying. Yan shigu, a scholar in the Tang Dynasty, explained that "peaches and plums are self-evident, but they are not able to speak and never publicize themselves. However, the people who come down to the peaches and plums are constantly on the way, and the wild land under the trees will naturally step out of the way. This is because peaches and plums actually have beautiful flowers and sweet fruits, and they are serving people silently, so they are used for food People will welcome them without boasting. Work hard to be practical, not empty voice, it is called "Tao Li self-evident.". Xin Qiji, the poet of Ci, quoted this sentence in a visit to Jiangshan, the Prime Minister of Chengye, a pruning plum. The next piece closely follows "today I come to think, yangliuyiyi." "The head of baishigang, the West Bank. A piece of leisure worries, the grass is luxuriant In a few words, it describes the specific situation after the friend left: baishigang is still full of luxuriant grass, the scenery has not changed, but there is no fellow traveler, so his heart is full of sadness. "Sentimental mountain birds need not sing." It's an emphasis on this kind of melancholy - you don't need the sentimental birds in the mountains to cry, but you will feel melancholy in your heart. Using the theory of "Tao and Li have no words, but they have their own way" to show that ye Heng's virtue in Jiankang is praised by people, and ye Heng himself is also loved by the people.
