Essay: Magic Chinese Characters

I don't know who said that Chinese characters are magical, but once you are fascinated, you can't extricate yourself from it. Small square characters have endless meanings.

This is why so many people like calligraphy and learn it. Of course, utilitarianism is not ruled out.

At first glance, I thought it was written by someone. Read it again and think again. It turns out that this is Wang Guan's early description of Jiangnan.

I like this poem very much when I see it. Ancient poetry pays attention to artistic conception, and it has no aesthetic feeling when translated into vernacular Chinese.

Appreciate an ancient anonymous poem again:

Distant Altair

Distant Altair, Jiao Jiao Hehan girl.

Skillful hands, make a loom.

Tears fall like rain all day long;

The river is clear and shallow, how much is the difference!

Between water and water, there are no words.

Very easy to understand, catchy, simple words show us a beautiful painting, and like film and television dramas, we can imagine the shapes and facial expressions of the characters in the painting.

The popular three-line poem is probably to pursue this artistic conception.
