●Nanpu · Spring Water
Zhang Yan
The waves are warm and green, and the swallows are flying, so it’s only Su Di that wakes up .
The fish is round without the traces of the waves, and the flow is red, and the east wind cannot sweep away the laughter.
The desolate bridge is broken over the pond, and the willow shade supports a small boat.
Looking back, the pond is full of green, just like the grass in a dream.
The clouds flow out of the empty mountain, and they are washed away every year, but the fragrance of the flowers is no longer there?
When the new green appears, I still remember that time on the lonely village road.
The remaining feelings are vague, and the singing of Maolin wine is now silent.
After Liu Lang returned from his previous visit, there were so many green peaches on the stream.
Appreciation of Zhang Yan’s Ci Poems
This is a poem about spring outings by the waterside. The style of poetry is more elegant and the diction is more gorgeous. When writing about spring water, it does not stick or peel off, making it vivid. The poet observed the spring water in detail, wrote with great skill, and added some allusions, so it was called "the eternal song".
The whole poem begins with a poem about the water of the West Lake. "The waves are warm and green," points out the topic of "Spring Water". The lake is sparkling and green waves are rippling, filled with the breath of spring, revealing the warmth of spring and describing the state of spring water dissolving and releasing.
"The swallow flies, but it is Su Di that wakes up." It is written that the swallow returns to Su Di. The first sentence writes the word "spring", and the second sentence implicitly writes lake water (Su Di is in the West Lake). "The fish is round without the wave mark" makes people feel like they see the fish submerged in the lake, and the water waves are undulating. The scenery here is wonderfully written and the workmanship is extremely detailed. Zhang Yan used "Yan Fei Lai" to evoke the phrase "Fish disappeared", which expresses a wonderful meaning. "When the red water flows away, the east wind cannot sweep away the laughter." In fact, the word "spring water" is still attached. On the surface, it means: The lake has taken away the colorful and messy fallen flowers, and the lake wants to laugh at the east wind's inability to blow away the remaining petals. In fact, it is still describing the waning spring light and the vastness of the lake. When the spring light is swaying and the fall is red, there are many boats in the West Lake. On the isolated waterfront and under the remote bridges, you can often see small boats jumping out from the depths of the willow shades. The poet here made a good sketch of the spring scenery of West Lake.
On the second floor, "Looking back at the pond, the pond is full of green, just like the fragrant grass in a dream." Begins to chant the pond water. Xie Lingyun of the Southern Dynasty wrote a poem: "Spring grass grows in the pond, and willows in the garden turn into songbirds." Zhang Yan borrowed old classics and created new meanings. It means that the pond is covered with green grass today, just like the artistic conception in dreams expressed in Xie's poems at that time. The virtual reality here introduces the reality seen in front of the eyes into the virtual state felt in dreams. It adds a poetic haziness and beautiful associations. In addition to the West Lake, Hangzhou also has many "ponds" and is a land of many waters, such as Yongjin Pond, Holy Mother Pond, White Turtle Pond, Taurus Pond, Dragon Mother Pond, etc. First, I wrote the "lake water" of Sudi, and then the "pool water" to make up for it. The "spring water" is full everywhere.
The next layer chants the stream water. "It flows out of the empty mountain. Even if it is washed every year, the fragrance of the flowers will no longer disappear." The stream is traced back to the source of the lake, and the scenery of the mountain is drawn from the light of the lake. The scenery of lakes and mountains constitutes the breathtaking scenery of West Lake. The poet's writing is also very elegant. It does not directly write "stream", but describes the scenery around the stream: clouds, mountain sky, and the fragrance of flowers. The stream is drawn from this, and the artistic conception is very beautiful. "Nian Nian" means that this year's trip is no longer the trip of previous years, and the water carrying red flowers this year is not the same as the water flowing flowers in previous years.
The sentence "When the new green suddenly appears" turns to the fourth level of nostalgia. Zhang Yan and other "West Lake Ci Friends" once formed a group by the West Lake for sightseeing. But now they are scattered in all directions. "Bamboo Ode in Maolin" is borrowed from Wang Xizhi's eternal chapter "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection" of "Building Bamboo in Maolin", "One chant for each wine glass is also a way to express the quiet feelings." "When the new green appears, I still remember that time when I was on the lonely village road."
It is difficult to regain its prosperity, which makes people sigh. "The lingering feelings are vague, and the chants in the lush forest are now silent." People can't help but miss the green peach trees under which we gathered in the old days: "After Liu Lang returned home, how many green peaches were there on the stream?" Seeing the scenery of Shao makes me sad, and how time passes. Passing away is a sentiment often expressed by literati and poets.
Zhang Yan is a famous poet in the "West Lake Poetry (Ci) Society". This song "Nanpu." The poem "Chun Shui" is his famous work, and he also got the nickname "Zhang Chun Shui" for this. Lin'an Guibao's life is spent in the wind, flowers, snow and moon. In addition, the West Lake is a unique scenic spot. To write about the beauty of the West Lake, you must choose the time when "peach blossom water" is distributed in spring. In the situation of shimmering waves and fluttering green willows, it naturally evokes the poets' rich talents and rich imagination. The beauty of this word does not lie in the profound emotions it expresses, but in the beauty of its diction and the elegance and elegance of its style.
