《长歌行》本旨辨

On the Essence of “Chang Ge Xing”

汉乐府《长歌行》多被读者视为劝学名篇,这种误读源自于对"努力"一词的误解。其实,这首诗歌的本旨是感慨人生短暂,倡言及时行乐。《乐府古题要解》及曹丕、陶渊明、杜甫等人都持这一看法。在同时代的诗歌中,如《怨诗行》等都是异曲同工之作。

＂Chsng Ge Xing＂ is usually regarded s^s a fsmous piece of encouragi^lg lesrning by readers. This misresding originstes from the misunderstanding of the word ＂efibrt＂. In fsct, the essence of this poem is to sigh thst the life is short snd it advocates Carpe diem. This view is shared by Cso Pi, Tso Yuanming, Du Fu etc. The contemporary poems such as ＂Yuan Shi Xing＂ are similar in style.
