This is the second poem in a series, which is about the general hunting at night. When he saw the trouble deep in the jungle, he thought it was a tiger, so he bent his bow and shot fiercely. At dawn, the arrow actually hit a stone. Through this typical plot, the general's bravery is shown. Poetry is based on historical records. Biography of General Lee. It is reported that Li Guang was a famous ape-man in Han Dynasty, who was good at shooting. When he was a magistrate in Peiping, he had such a dramatic experience: "You went hunting widely and saw a stone in the grass, so you shot it as a tiger. If the stone is not in the middle, it will be regarded as a stone. Because I shot again, I couldn't return to the stone. "
The first sentence said that the place where the general hunted at night was deep in a dark forest; At that time, it was getting late, and a gust of wind blew and the vegetation was covered by it. This not only shows the specific time and place, but also creates an atmosphere. Right Beiping is the area where tigers haunt, and the dense forest in the mountains is the hiding place of the tiger, the king of beasts. Tigers often come out of the mountains at dusk. Adding the word "Jing" to the word "the Woods are dark, and there is a wind and grass" not only makes people naturally think that there are tigers among them, but also renders a tense atmosphere, and also implies how vigilant the general is, paving the way for the later "bow-pulling". The second sentence is to keep writing and keep shooting. But "bow-pulling" does not say "shooting", not only because the poem rhymes, but also because "pulling" is the preparatory action of "sending". This writing can inspire readers to imagine and understand how calm and calm the general is in danger. After the "earthquake", the general immediately drew his arrow and drew his bow. His movements are agile and powerful, and he is in no hurry. He is dignified and vivid.
After the second sentence, I wrote down the miracle of "drinking feathers without stones" and dragged the time to the next morning ("Ping Ming"). When the general was looking for prey, he found that the man who was shot by an arrow was not a tiger, but a crouching stone. It was amazing at first, and then he lamented. It turned out that this arrow with white feathers was installed at the tail of the shaft, but it "pointed deep into the hard rock" and scored three points on the stone. This kind of writing is not only more tortuous, but also full of drama with the change of time and scene. The "stone edge" is a prominent part of the stone, and it is unthinkable for an arrow to get into it. Mythical exaggeration adds a layer of romance to the image of poetry, which is particularly delicious to read, but it is wonderful and can't be wrong.
Wu Qiao, a man of the Qing Dynasty, once vividly used rice as a metaphor for "meaning", saying that rice was cooked for food and poetry was brewed for wine (see "Poetry around the stove"), and his words were wonderful. Because poetry appeals to readers' emotions, it is generally more concentrated than prose, with more concise language, more emphasis on the creation of artistic conception, more intoxicating and more like wine. In Historical Records, it is just an ordinary narrative. Once refined and processed by the poet, it is sublimated into such a poem with artistic charm. Isn't it a bit like turning rice into wine?
