Five Dynasties Li Yu
The waves mean a thousand miles of snow, and the peach blossoms are silent.
How many people are happy with a pot of wine and a stick?
translate
Thousands of miles of waves on the river are rolling like snow, and rows of peach blossoms are in full bloom on the shore, and the spring is thick. How many people in this world are so free and happy with a pot of wine and a fishing rod in their hands?
This word is a painting called "Fishing in the Spring River". According to "The Book of Southern Tang Dynasty, Records of Emperors in Past Dynasties", "The prince of Wen hated it with strange words, while the queen avoided disasters and only thought about classics." Therefore, some people think that the first sentence is "forced by the situation, my ancestors wrote poems in seclusion to show seclusion and to explain the doubts of the prince of Wen" (a series of comments on the Complete Works of Two Major Poems of Pu Ren and Mei Long in the Southern Tang Dynasty), which is also reasonable. Zhang was the first person to write the word "fisherman" in the history of Ci in Tang Dynasty. Li Yu inherited Zhang's Fisherman's Style, which is about the happiness of the fisherman. Judging from the meaning of the word, this word is secluded and has a low style, which should be regarded as Li Yu's early works with depressed thoughts.
Words begin with painting, artistic conception in painting is written in words, and artistic conception is expressed in painting. "Waves" turn into "thousands of miles of snow" and "peach blossoms" are "a mass of spring", which describes the surging of the Chunjiang River and the beautiful spring. "Team One" is followed by the word "Spring", which not only shows the vitality of peaches and plums, but also reveals a different kind of playfulness and draws a bright and beautiful artistic conception. These two sentences vividly describe the artistic conception in the painting: the hero fisherman in the painting, taking advantage of the rise of the Chunjiang River, drives a boat and goes down with the water; The good wind pushes the boat forward, the canoe flies and the waves roll in, such as splashing thousands of miles of snow; The fisherman's heart is happy, and the waves seem to be interested; In the waves of the boat, Li Bai is pink on both sides, marching in procession, flowers and trees are affectionate, and fishermen are calm.
The remaining three sentences describe the fisherman's clothes, making the finishing point and writing the fisherman's indifferent and chic life realm. Two or three sentences seem handy, but they are actually the result of tempering: "A pot of wine" writes the fisherman's mental state; "One Pole Nylon" points out the occupation and status of fishermen. Just saying "a pot of wine" may be associated with others; However, if you say "kill with a stick", you must be a fisherman. The last sentence suddenly reached its peak-"How many people are there in the world?" This sentence is the fisherman's self-report: I'm afraid there are not many comfortable and happy people like me on earth. The fisherman is not in danger of a storm, but he has the joy of nature and finds pleasure in life. He got rid of worldly fetters, avoided the fetters of fame and fortune, and lived freely and enviably.
This poem conveys feelings with paintings and is implicit with scenery. Although it is not interesting, its leisurely and light artistic conception is beautiful and not vulgar, and it can yet be regarded as a masterpiece in inscribed poems.
