Wang Anshi wrote a riddle poem. Why was it guessed right after thousands of years?
China has a long history in ancient times. In the long years, many outstanding figures emerged. They used their wisdom to create many excellent works, leaving valuable spiritual food and cultural treasures for future generations, such as Wang Anshi, a famous writer in the Song Dynasty.
Wang Anshi, born in Linchuan (now Fuzhou, Jiangxi) in Song Dynasty, was a famous thinker, politician, writer and reformer in Northern Song Dynasty. In the history of China, Wang Anshi was even known as "the reformer of China in the 11th century" and made great contributions to the reform of feudal politics.
Wang Anshi made great achievements in politics, which had a far-reaching influence on the Song Dynasty. In literature, he was quick in thinking and was called one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties by later generations. Such a person was naturally talented and resourceful, so he left many classic works for later generations, such as his Poems.
Poem Mystery
Song Wang Anshi
A beautiful woman pretends to be drunk and asks for help, revealing the snow on her chest.
if you can't find it when you go to the account, let him be full of feng shui.
Obviously, this is a poem, but it is also a puzzle. What people have to do is to guess the answer from it and show their wisdom. Of course, some puzzles are not so easy to guess, such as this poem by Wang Anshi. Although the mystery is easy to understand, it is impossible to understand what the author really wants to express. It is precisely because of this that this mystery poem was guessed by people after thousands of years.
In this poem, the first sentence "A beautiful woman pretends to be drunk and asks for help" depicts a beautiful woman who needs help after being drunk. However, the beauty at this time is not really drunk, but fake drunk. As long as people act, it must be intentional, and the fall behind is naturally intentional, so in this sentence, you can think of a person's name, and that person is Jia Dao.
The second sentence "Exposing the white skin on the chest" is obviously a description of women. In ancient China, women's breasts were taboo. How could it be revealed in public? Therefore, what the poet emphasizes here is "white inside", which implies the name of the famous poet "Li Bai" in China history. The words in this poem are unruly, but they are also in line with Li Bai's temperament.
In the third sentence, "I can't find it when I go to the account", and "account" can be extended to "account" and "missing" can be extended to "hidden", so the answer to this poem is Luo Yin. Some friends may not be familiar with the name "Luo Yin", but you must have heard the poem "If you drink today, you will get drunk tomorrow", which is from Luo Yin's "Self-Dispatch".
And the last sentence, "Let him be full of feng shui", is the most difficult place to guess in the whole poem. In fact, "rivers and lakes are full of water" in the poem has a certain implied meaning, and a word "Pan" is pointed out. "Pan" means "full" in the old saying, so the answer is Pan Lang, the homonym of Pan Lang. Pan Lang was a famous poet in the early Song Dynasty. He named himself "Xiaoyao Zi" and wrote "Xiaoyao Ci". Today, there is also a "Pan Lang Lane" in Hangzhou.
This is a poem about guessing the poet's name, which is ingenious in conception, but no one can guess it correctly for thousands of years. It was not until the Republic of China that it was cracked by the literary master Zheng Ziyu, from which we can also see the poet's careful design. Of course, to some extent, it also shows Wang Anshi's high literary level. However, from the literal point of view of this poem, we may sigh: Wang Anshi, you are such an old king, and your poetry is frivolous. It seems that you are also a lecherous.
