Su Shi in Northern Song Dynasty
There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo.
Spring river plumbing duck prophet.
Artemisia selengensis (lóu hāo) is covered with short reed buds.
It is the time when the puffer fish wants to fuck.
A famous monk in the Northern Song Dynasty was good at painting, and Xiao Jing in Chunjiang was his painting. There were two paintings, one was a duck play and the other was a flying goose. There are also two poems by Su Shi, this one is about duck play. Artemisia selengensis: A perennial herb growing in lowlands, with pale yellow flowers and stems four or five feet high. It is tender, crisp and edible at birth. (Dictionary explanation: perennial herb with light yellow flowers that can be used as medicine) Reed bud: the young bud of reed, which is edible.
Puffer:
A kind of fish, scientific name "Qu", has delicious meat, but its ovaries and liver are highly toxic. Produced in coastal areas and some inland rivers of China. Go against the current every spring and lay eggs in fresh water.
Open:
Fish swim upstream. Two or three peach blossoms are blooming outside the bamboo forest, and ducks are swimming in the water. They first noticed the warming of the river in early spring. The beach has been covered with Artemisia selengensis and asparagus has begun to sprout. This is the season when puffer fish return from the sea and lay eggs in the river.
There are three or two peaches outside the bamboo. This is a warm scenery.
Looking across the sparse bamboo, several peach blossoms are swaying. Peach blossoms and bamboo are in contrast, red and green, and spring is particularly charming. Although this is just a simple sentence, it reveals a lot of information. First of all, the bamboo forest is sparse. If it's sunny, you won't see peach blossoms. Secondly, show the season and point out the word "early". Just after the cold spring, it is not the time for peach blossoms to bloom, but the infinite vitality and potential of spring have been revealed.
Ducks first know when the river gets warmer in spring.
In the water of Jiang Chun, ducks are playing; The information that the river is warming, they first noticed it. A duck knows how to warm water, which can't be reflected by painting alone. Poetry is expressed. Is it duck prophet plumbing? Everything in the aquarium is famous for its warmth and coldness. The poet wrote this way to match the scenery in the painting, and actually expressed his joy and praise for the arrival of spring. There is a poem in the Tang Dynasty, "A bird knows its way among flowers and is a prophet", which is similar to this sentence. This poem is very philosophical, and now we often quote it when referring to a new situation or news that is known in advance.
The beach is overgrown with wormwood and asparagus has just sprouted.
Everything is new in spring. By the river, lush Artemisia sphaerocephala covered the ground, and reeds also sprouted short buds. These seven words are not the general chanting of scenery, but the poet's accurate description of the modality of these two plants through careful observation, and none of them are idle. Wang Shizhen, a poet in A Qing, praised this poem in Yu Yang's Poems, saying: "Poe's poem ... is not only beautiful, but also like Mei's poem" Spring shoots in spring, flowers fly on the spring shore "without any words."
It's time for puffer fish to go upstream.
Mei, a poet in the Song Dynasty, described this scene and said: "The puffer fish is in the right place, and counting fish and shrimp is not expensive." The first three sentences of this poem describe the scenery in Hui Chong's paintings, and the last sentence is an impromptu association. In this way, the author makes the whole picture more perfect, giving people the joy that winter has passed and spring is coming to the world. The author not only participated in the painting, but also went out of the painting to show all the unreasonable things in the painting. If all four sentences in the poem are simple descriptions of scenery, the form will be relatively dull. The treatment of the last sentence not only makes the whole poem lively, but also greatly enriches the artistic conception of poetry and painting.
