The first film describes the poet's passion for boating with his wife.
Although it is a "one-leaf boat", the above settings are quite elegant. The poet rolled up the curtains and sat opposite his wife. While drinking and chatting, I watched the picturesque scenery. The phrase "I learned to drink when I was old" is full of elegance. Needless to say, writing poems and lyrics is even more essential. The phrase "people spread poems all over the south of the Yangtze River" not only expresses the content of "beautiful speech", but also outlines the poet's confident and proud demeanor.
The next movie contains feelings in the scenery and writes down the joy of going home.
"Apes under the Forest Overlooking the inkstone": hang down, hang down, hang down or bend down; Peep means to peek through a small hole or gap, or to look in the dark; Wash the inkstone, wash the inkstone platform. Imagine: one or several naughty monkeys, hanging or leaning down, flashing sly little eyes, secretly watching the poet's action of washing inkstones. This shot is very vivid and lovely. "Watching the sail before the deer lies on the rock": It is very interesting to watch the poet's every move quietly before the deer lies on the rock. It makes people feel that this situation is indescribable. It is really: "There is a real meaning in it, and I forgot to say it if I wanted to argue! Then, the poet abandoned the boat and landed, causing a "sound chaos" of the cuckoo on the shore and stirring up a "ring-like" vortex beside the boat.
In this poem, the poet takes three actions on his way home in order: preparing to go back, washing the inkstone first, then closing the sail, and finally leaving the ship and going ashore. The beauty lies in that he did not simply describe his three movements, but objectively revealed the poet's inner world with the expression of apes and deer and the reaction of cuckoo: self-confidence, leisure and simple interest.
This poem by Huang Tingjian is lively, cheerful and full of life. It can be said that the beauty of the artistic conception of the characters and the beauty of the natural environment are seamlessly unified.
