The feeling of listening to Ying Shi playing the piano. Poetry begins with performance and ends with the sound of the piano. The poet first portrayed the image of music in various ways, then wrote about the effect of music, and explained the touching power of music with his restless, tearful and icy affection. The description of the image provides the basis for the description of the effect, and the description of the effect proves the authenticity and credibility of the image description. Both have their own advantages, interact and complement each other.
The poem is divided into two parts, the first ten sentences actively imitate the sound. The first sentence is different. There is no mention of the pianist, nor the time and place to play the piano. Instead, stick to the word "listening" in the topic, go straight to the theme, and introduce readers into a wonderful musical realm. The sound of the piano curled up, soft and thin, as if young children were whispering and telling each other their hearts when they were intimate. There is some blame in the middle, which is just an informal way to express love. Just as the listener was immersed in an atmosphere full of tenderness and sweetness, the sound of the piano suddenly became high-spirited and agitated, just like a brave soldier galloping through the enemy lines, which was extraordinary. Then the sound of the piano changed from rigid to soft, and the ups and downs echoed. Just like after a bloody battle, the enemy's breath was completely swept away. At this time, the sky is clear and sunny, with a few white clouds floating in the distance and catkins floating nearby. They are floating, elusive, but fascinating. The artistic conception expressed by the sound of the piano is lofty and broad, which makes people feel endless.
Suddenly, birds are singing and chirping, and the quiet environment is replaced by noisy scenes. Among all the birds, a phoenix flies high and sings for a long time. "If you can't climb the scale, you will fall sharply." This aloof phoenix, unwilling to associate with every bird, struggled to climb, but still fell, falling so fast and miserably. Here, there seems to be other sustenance besides showing the ups and downs of the piano sound with visual metaphors. Related to the following sentences, such as "wet clothes and tears", probably contains the poet's lament about his situation. He has written several times to analyze the gains and losses of political affairs, hoping that the authorities will be alert to get rid of the shortcomings and make great efforts to govern. As a result, he was repeatedly vilified and resentful. The phrase "wet clothes" is quite similar to "this Jiujiang official". "My blue sleeves are wet" in Bai Juyi's Pipa Trip, but the latter is more straightforward.
The last eight sentences are about my feelings and reactions when listening to the piano, which set off the beauty of the piano sound from the side. "Yu Yu" is a self-deprecating remark, which shows that you don't know music and can't understand the mystery. Nevertheless, I was deeply moved by Ying Shi's piano sound. At first, I sat up uncomfortably. Later, tears ran down my skirt, and I kept dripping. This intense emotional stimulation was unbearable, so I tried to stop it with my hands and couldn't bear to listen. The last two sentences further enhanced Ying Shi's superb piano skills. Ice and charcoal can't be in the same furnace, but the clever teacher's piano music brings people into the paradise of joy for a while, and then throws people into the hell of suffering, just like throwing ice and charcoal into the listener's chest at the same time, which makes people unable to bear such emotional fluctuations.
The whole poem is full of ups and downs, such as the Qiantang River tide, which is choppy and changeable. The first couplet and the second couplet, even the first sentence and the next sentence, have great ups and downs. For example, in the first couplet, "Being intimate with children, grievances are close to you", the soft piano sound is full of harmonious tones, with the word "resentment" in the middle, which makes people feel that the waves are steep and the posture is full of intimacy and life. For example, the first couplet is more about children's affection, and the second couplet is about heroism. These are two completely different voices, one is soft and the other is hard, which constitutes a disparity. The third link will change again, that is, from rigidity to flexibility, and it is easy to overlap with the first link. While being aware of this ups and downs, the poet opened up another new realm. Lofty, broad, quiet and mellow, in sharp contrast to the first United League, which is very affectionate and charming. Its sound is also different from that of the first couplet. One of them (the first one) is soft and pure fingering; One (triple) is melodious, which is called overtone. Although both of them are gentle, they have their own characteristics and accurately reflect the changes of the piano sound. A Qing poet Fang said that Han Yu's poems were "deep and strict", which is a good example.
Poetry that has been writing music mostly uses the physiological functions of human five senses to transform sounds that are difficult to capture into visual images that are easier to feel. This poem is elegant, ethereal and mellow because of its implicit voice and vivid image, but it is not limited to flesh and blood. The outstanding performance is that while imitating the rhythm of sound, it pays great attention to discovering the emotions contained in it. A good piano sound can be both pleasing to the ear and pleasing to the eye, and can be empathetic. A good piano sound can not only draw the sound, but also "draw the artistic conception" and "draw the ambition", and describe the situations expressed by the piano sound one by one. Poetry, while imitating the sound, shows the tenderness of children, or imitates the ambition of heroes, or is full of attachment to nature, or contains extraordinary thoughts and frustrations, and so on, all of which show deep affection.
Han Yu is a creative literary master. When he writes poetry, he can get rid of the shackles and find his own way. This poem is unique in creation and diction. In terms of creation, it shows readers two realms: one is the realm in music, that is, the situation composed of the sound and rhythm of music; The first is the realm outside the song, that is, the response of music sound to the listener (the poet himself). The two are also on and off, just like shadows and shapes. Therefore, the artistic conception of the whole poem is profound and meaningful.
Many poems are novel, appropriate, refined and appealing. For example, the first two sentences are detailed in rhyme, in which the pronunciation of "female" and "language" is similar to that of "er" and "ru", which is somewhat confusing to read. This special phonological arrangement is just suitable for expressing the lingering modality between children. Later, the high-spirited piano sound was changed to Hong Yun's "Ang", "Tian", "Yang" and "Huang", which accurately expressed the feelings of the player and the impression of the listener. In addition, the staggered use of five words and seven words is in harmony with the intermittent sound of the piano, which also greatly enhances the expressive force of the poem. Such as this, it is obvious that poets are ingenious and unconstrained, but they all do what they are told and do their jobs. In fact, the so-called "hard words and proper arrangement _" is also a major feature of Han Yu's poetic language.
