Song: Zhu
Half an acre of square pond opened, and the sky was overcast.
Why is the water in the pond so clear? Because there is inexhaustible living water for it.
A half-acre square pond is displayed like a mirror, in which the brilliance of the sky and the shadow of floating clouds move together. Why is the water in that square pond so clear? It is because there is an inexhaustible source to continuously transport living water for it.
2. Two Thoughts on Reading (Part Two)
Song: Zhu
Last night on the Ross River, the huge warship was as light as a feather.
It used to take a lot of effort to push it, but today it can move in the middle of water.
The spring tide rose by the river last night, and the ship was as light as a feather. Pushing and pulling has always been in vain, but today I can drift freely in the middle of the river.
Extended data
"Reading Comprehension" is an interesting poem written by Zhu, who tells his feelings about reading with metaphor. Influenced by Zen, there are many reasoners in Song poetry. But there are not many people who can explain the truth well and have literary talent. Zhu's two Random Thoughts on Reading are well-founded and interesting.
Whether Zhu is right or wrong, he has a great influence on China culture. There is a couplet. The first couplet is: Zhu's eyes and nostrils are taller than Confucius.
Liang Qichao criticized the scholars who were attached to the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty, and praised Zhu more than Confucius, which was manifested as: wrong rather than right.
These statements seem strange, but they are all true. Although the school had a confrontation with Zhu, Zhu's influence still existed. Wang Yangming was superstitious about Zhu in his early years, and later opposed Zhu Zicheng's system. Finally, he inevitably wrote Zhu's conclusion in his later years.
Apart from Zhu's academic achievements, his two books "Reading Experience" are really excellent works.
The first book uses a square pond as a metaphor (the circle is a pool and the square is a pond), which reflects everything. The water in the pool is very clear, precisely because there is running water at the source. This flowing water, of course, is a steady stream of knowledge.
But this poem can only be considered unqualified if it is with the founder of Yunmen Sect. As the saying goes, "the person who enters the door is not a treasure", and the water flowing in is not his own treasure after all.
The second is about the size and timing of energy. When the spring water comes, the big ship becomes like a feather, floating gently. In the past, when the water was small, a lot of energy was wasted; He can run freely in the water.
Kunpeng soaring, need to rely on the power of the horn wind; Filling one's pockets requires the buoyancy of spring water. It's a matter of energy and timing.
Baidu encyclopedia-two thoughts on reading
2. Zhu's poem expressing the relationship between writing and life, "Ask the canal so clearly that there is flowing water from the source", vividly expresses a subtle and unspeakable reading feeling through comparison with a square pond. The pond is not a stagnant pool, but often filled with flowing water, so it is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the sky and clouds. It is quite similar for the same person to spend difficult problems in reading, gain new knowledge and gain great benefits, and improve his understanding. The aura of this poem is flowing, the thinking is clear, the spirit is fresh and lively, and it is the author's personal reading experience as a great scholar. Although this feeling expressed in the poem is only about reading, it has profound implications and rich connotations. Can be widely understood. In particular, the phrase "Only when the canal is so clear can there be flowing water from the source" is clear because the flowing water from the source is constantly injected, which means that if people want to be clear-headed, they must study hard and constantly supplement new knowledge. Therefore, people often use these two poems to praise a person's academic or artistic achievements, which has its profound roots. Only when the mind is always active, open-minded, accepting different ideas and fresh knowledge, and broad-minded, can we keep thinking and new water will continue. These two poems are condensed into the idiom "flowing water at the source", which is used to describe the source and motive force of the development of things.
3. The analysis of Zhu's famous poems and "Zhu" includes:
1. Win the day and find the fragrance of Surabaya, and the boundless scenery will be new for a while. Everyone can see the face of spring, the spring breeze blows flowers open, thousands of purple, and the scene of spring is everywhere. -Spring day
Analysis: Literally, this poem seems to describe the feeling of a spring outing, but the place to find incense is the shore of Surabaya, which was occupied by Jin people when they crossed the Song Dynasty a long time ago. Zhu has never been to the north, and of course it is impossible to swim to Surabaya in spring. In fact, the word "Surabaya" in the poem alludes to Confucius, because in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius had sung a string of songs between Zhu and Si to teach his disciples. Therefore, the so-called "seeking" refers to the way to find saints. "Colorful" is a metaphor for the richness of Confucianism. The poet compares the sage's way to the spring breeze that pushes the machine and ignites everything.
2. When the pond half an acre square opened, the sky was overcast. Ask the canal to be so clear, because there is running water at the source. -"Random Thoughts on Reading"
Analysis: This is an artistic and philosophical poem. When people taste calligraphy, they often have an artistic feeling of flying high. In poetry, this inner feeling is transformed into a tangible image through symbolic means, so that readers can understand the mystery themselves. The so-called "flowing water from the source" refers to the inexhaustible artistic inspiration in the writer's heart. Poetry has profound meaning. The vivid metaphor of the rich inspiration of calligraphy art from the source is the inexhaustible source of calligraphy works, which clarifies the author's unique reading experience, conforms to the characteristics of calligraphy art creation and embodies the essence of general art creation.
Young people are easy to get old but difficult to learn, and an inch of time is not light. I didn't feel the dream of spring grass in the pond, but I didn't know that the fallen leaves were autumn until the steps. -"Occasionally"
Analysis: This is an Anyi poem, the specific writing date is unknown, about the last year of Shaoxing (1 162). This poem is widely circulated in Japan and now, thinking that it was written by Zhu, so it is reserved for reference. Its main purpose is to persuade young people to cherish time and study hard, which is both persuasion and self-warning. The language of the poem is easy to understand, and the image is vivid and vivid. Compared with the dream of spring grass in the pond and the sudden autumn sound of phoenix trees in front of the steps, the poem is very appropriate and doubles the power of exhortation.
4. Don't feel sorry for yourself in the dim rain, let spring blossom and the sky float. Only the painting pavilion has no land, and the old new poems are full of boats. Outside the Jade Bird and in front of Bai Ou, there are several old karma of incense. Jiulan Mountain carved a sill on the moon, and the river wind blew a feast. -"Partridge Day"
Analysis: This is a little word that is filled with indignation by drinking, and it was written before and after Yu Jinyuan's death. At that time, Yuan Haowen, as an orphan of Jin and Yuan Dynasties, lived a long life, lived late and dispersed, and was both sad and angry. He had to drown his sorrows in wine and seek a moment's comfort in his drunken hometown. This word is produced under this background and mood.
5. Mujiang Hanbi, Lu Changbi. The sunset in the flower dock is oblique, and the flowers in the sunset dock are falling. There is no customer worry, and there is no customer worry. Wake up as drunk as a fiddler, and feel more drunk and sober. -"bodhisattva man"
Analysis: The upper and lower parts of this word adopt different techniques. The first half focuses on the rendering of objective scenery, while the second half focuses on the description of subjective psychology. However, the rendering of the scenery has a strong subjective color, and the description of subjective psychology is mixed with the objective scenery. So generally speaking, emotion and scenery, subjective and objective are integrated.
