Interpretation of the Meaning in The Night Book of the Boat

What you saw in The Night of the Boat is a poem by A Qing poet Cha. The first two sentences in the poem say that there is a fishing lamp on the boat at night, and there is only one fishing lamp in the river at night, which is flickering and mysterious. The last two sentences are about the beauty of the reflection of a solitary lamp. When the breeze blew the waves, the shadows of the lights immediately dispersed and scattered all over the river like stars. The whole poem uses pure line drawing, with large scenery lining small scenery and dark scenery lining bright scenery, depicting a delicate and vivid image.

What I saw in the book on the night of the boat was a five-character quatrain written by a poet in Qing Dynasty. The specific writing time of this poem is unknown. Sleeping on the river at night and staying on the boat, the poet felt what he saw and wrote this five-character quatrain. This poem depicts a strange and wonderful night scene on the river. Although this poem has only twenty crosses, it embodies the poet's subtle observation of natural scenery.

The first two sentences about seeing fishing lights on the boat at night are static descriptions, which link dark colors with bright colors and appear vivid. "Seeing the fishing lamp when the wind is dark in the moon" and "seeing" are both written in videos, which means suddenly discovering.

Because the dark moon suddenly saw a fishing lamp in the river, it was particularly eye-catching. A Little Firefly in a Lonely Lamp, written like a bean light and a little firefly on the bank of a river, is an image in my mind, describing the image of a fishing lamp. "Loneliness" shows the loneliness and monotony of the environment and contains certain emotional color. A feeling of helplessness invaded the poet's mind.

The last two sentences are dynamic descriptions, describing the instantaneous beauty of a solitary lamp reflection. "Breeze Wave", put aside the lights and write the night wind instead. The word "slight" means that the wind is so small, and "cluster" means that even a breeze can set off clusters of waves. Present a quiet and comfortable atmosphere. "Scattering like a river star" and "scattering" are the poetic eyes of this poem.

Famous comments

Fu Xuancong, director of Tsinghua University Classical Literature Research Center: This five-line poem is the top grade of the author's sketch, and it is written in four short sentences. The shapes of night, fishing lights, fluorescence, waves and river stars can only be revealed by careful observation and are described in chronological order. Capture the most critical and poetic moment.

Write static scenery in the first two sentences and dynamic scenery in the last two sentences. The change of fishing lamp is like a little fluorescence when the water is still, and like a river full of stars when the water moves. When a little star scattered into thousands of stars, stirring up the poet's feelings, the artistic conception of poetry is more beautiful and spacious, how excited the poet is.
