Looking at Gao Dong in the dusk, what do you want to rely on?
Trees are all autumn colors, and mountains are only sparkling.
The shepherd brought the calf back, hunted horses and brought birds back.
Knowing each other and living alone, Long song fell in love with Wei. This is a five-character poem describing Shan Ye and autumn scenery. The poetic style is simple and natural, which shows the poet's gloomy mood of "caring for each other and not knowing each other", which is quite different from the glamorous literary style since Qi and Liang Dynasties. The whole poem washes away the lead and brings a fresh breath to the early Tang poetry circle, which is one of Wang Ji's representative works.
The first two sentences mainly express emotions. "Gaodong" generally refers to the waterside highland near Longmen in Jiangzhou, Wang Ji's hometown. Borrowing a poem by Tao Yuanming (farewell speech), it implies that the poet tried to cultivate Gao Dong after retiring, so he named himself "Dong Gao Zi" and "migrated". What branch can you rely on? " These two poems are plain and plain. At first, in the thin twilight, the poet stood upright on the high east and looked around, and a sense of loneliness and helplessness came to mind, which made people unable to calm down. This will naturally be coated with a layer of psychological imbalance, providing a clever foreshadowing for the four sentences in the middle.
"The trees are all autumn, and the mountains are only bright." This is the poet's bold description of the scenery in front of him, focusing on the transparency of colors. Layers of forests have been stained with bleak golden autumn colors, and the rolling mountains only see the afterglow of the sunset. What a quiet, open and beautiful picture. Even in the faint twilight, people can still feel the strong reflection of light and color at sunset in Lin Qiu and Shan Ye. Then, the poet's brushwork turned to a dynamic narrative: "The shepherd came back with the calf, hunted the horse and brought the bird back." He focuses on the vivid scene of Shan Ye's return from the field of vision, injecting beating emotions and cheerful interest into the whole quiet picture. Several verbs "drive", "return", "bring" and "return" in the sentence are used naturally and accurately. The more this dynamic description. Mountains and rivers, trees, calf hunting and horse hunting are intertwined into a wonderful artistic picture. The harmony of light and color, the collocation of distant view and close view all seem so white and harmonious that people can't help daydreaming and even forget themselves in the comfortable and leisurely fields.
However, the experience of Wang Ji, who was there personally, was far from being spiritually comforted like an idyllic poet, and a feeling of loss and loneliness arose spontaneously. "I don't know if I care about you, but Long song is pregnant with Wei." These last two sentences completely reveal the poet's inner anguish and disappointment. Unable to find a bosom friend, he had to chase Huai Boyi and Shu Qi, who didn't eat Zhou Su, up the hill.
The beginning and end of this poem are connected with lyric stories, and the middle two are connected with scenery. Through the in-depth description of scenery written with emotion and lyrical with scenery, the poet's loneliness and hesitation are skillfully connected with the autumn twilight shrouded in the fields, giving readers an intuitive artistic impression and beautiful enjoyment. The infinite meaning contained in the poem makes people chew it for a long time. The language of the whole poem is straightforward and fresh, natural and smooth, with shallow words and strong sentences.
