In my opinion, such "aesthetic education" only grasps the surface of the article. This paper is a famous landscape writing, and the core of landscape writing is lyricism. Therefore, it is the key of teaching to deeply understand the author's emotion from the description of scenery. Of course, I also agree to start with the main scenery paragraphs, but I don't simply find out the object of description and have a superficial appreciation of the author's landscape writing skills.
Of course, the scenery of the lotus pond described by the author is beautiful. The winding lotus pond, leaves in the field, graceful white flowers, faint fragrance, rippling blue waves and flowing water; Moonlight is of course hazy and elegant, flowing moonlight, thin blue fog, faint clouds, jagged and mottled shadows, and sparse beautiful images of willows; Of course, the lotus pond is quiet and beautiful, with high and low trees, shady trees, faint distant mountains, listless street lamps, lively cicadas and frogs. The author deserves to be a master of landscape writing, but just seeing these is not enough to show our appreciation of beautiful writing. I think it is inappropriate to say that these scenes reflect the author's tranquility, but it is precisely the author's agitation hidden in the seemingly quiet writing scene, which is the key to appreciate my passage. We have to admit that the literary eye of the article is restless, and here we should find out the core of the author's lyric.
Let's look at some sentences in the landscape writing part of Moonlight on the Lotus Pond: 1.
"Under the leaves is flowing water, which is covered and can't see some colors; The leaves are even more windy. " 2.
"Although it is a full moon, there is one in the sky.
A faint cloud, so it can't shine; But I think this is just a benefit-deep sleep is indispensable, and nap is unique. "3.
"The moonlight shone through the trees, and the high bushes fell in jagged black.
Shadow; The sparse shadows of curved willows seem to be painted on lotus leaves. "4.
"The moonlight in the pond is uneven; But light and shadow have a harmonious melody, such as a famous song played by Van Gogh. " 5.
"An example of the color of a tree is cloudy, which at first glance looks like a cloud of smoke; But Liu Zhifeng can be distinguished in the smoke. " 6.
The similarity of these sentences is that they are all turning complex sentences, but they are not turning in semantic meaning, but turning in emotional meaning. In fact, we can also find that many of the landscapes summarized above are contradictory. Such as the sentence 1
"Running Water with Pulse" embodies the author's love and affection for the quietly flowing water. The word "pulse" is particularly popular with the author, but it is a pity that "it is covered and some colors can't be seen". There is a fly in the ointment and a disappointment. This is a sign of inner anxiety. But after a turn, it was said that the leaves were more windy, and the aesthetic object immediately shifted to the leaves, and the beauty of the leaves-"wind-induced" was discovered. "Pulse" and "wind-induced" are in the same strain. There is a fly in the ointment before the turn, and there is emotional compensation after the turn. The second sentence
What should the "full moon" look forward to, but there are still regrets, "there are faint clouds",
Can't shine. This expectation was compensated after the turning point, "taking a nap has a different flavor." Sentence 3
, the fifth sentence
The sixth sentence is the same. Before the turning point is an emotion, after the turning point is an emotion, so this turning point is only to express an emotional change. Generally speaking, it has changed from "restless" to "quiet". Appreciating regret is a sign of restlessness, but immediately discovering beauty, restlessness becomes calm. Only the sixth sentence is an exception, from tranquility to restlessness. Liveliness is what the author likes. Seeing the lively scene in front of him, the author should say that he is happy, but when he thinks of things and people, he immediately says that he has nothing. However, this sentence has its own function in the structure of the article.
From this point of view, the author always looks for peace in restlessness, and then returns to restlessness after a moment of peace. We can grasp the change of the author's mood in the description of the scenery, which is the key point.
This should be grasped from the whole article.
First of all, anxiety is the root, seeking quietness is the way, but anxiety is the core.
On the way to the lotus pond, the author made some inner monologues and found the inner freedom and tranquility temporarily, so he described the tranquility and beautiful scenery of the lotus pond. Although my heart is temporarily calm, my anxiety always exists, such as an undercurrent, which will spurt out of the water from time to time, but it is always forcibly suppressed and transformed by the author. So there is a sentence at the end of the description of the lotus pond: "Under the leaves is flowing water, which is covered and can't see some colors;" The leaves are even more windy. "
But in the description of Moonlight, this emotional transformation is much more obvious; When describing the scenery around the lotus pond, the restless heart is more obvious It can be clearly seen from the above sentence analysis.
It can be seen that the author's feelings have been changing between restlessness and tranquility. It is this emotional transformation that constitutes the overall structure of the article. The structural analysis of several key sentences in this paper should confirm the overall structure of this paper.
In terms of content, the author wrote about the agitation before enjoying the moonlight in the lotus pond, the inner monologue on the lotus pond road, the beautiful moonlight in the lotus pond, the story of picking lotus flowers in Jiangnan, and the song of Xizhou. Finally, he said that he missed Jiangnan and went home.
The content of these parts is also the expression of the author's feelings changing between restlessness and calmness. Because it is not quiet, I want to find peace in the lotus pond, and the inner monologue on the road completes this transformation. In the lotus pond, on the whole, the mood is calm, although there is always anxiety. At the end of enjoying the beautiful scenery, the mood turned into obvious restlessness, which can be confirmed by the sixth sentence. The sixth sentence says that he has nothing, which obviously means that the reality is not calm, so this is a change from calm to unsettled. The story of picking lotus is dominated by the excitement of cicadas and frogs, and returns to inner peace from reality, because picking lotus is a lively and romantic scene, and poetry is evidence. "No longer a blessing" leads to the next song "Xizhou Song", which describes a woman suffering from lovesickness, and the word "Nong" tells the heart of a lotus picking woman who is bored by lovesickness. For the author, nature is not calm. Finally, I miss Jiangnan and return to my hometown. This is another reality. Thus, the whole article completed a perfect cycle: restless-restless-restless.
I think, fundamentally speaking, the author is an intellectual and a scholar. Throughout history, the contradictions of literati in literature are almost always the contradictions between inner ideals and social reality, and I think Zhu Ziqing is no exception. Judging from the inner monologue in the third paragraph of the article, freedom is an ideal of the author's life, while non-freedom is the reality of the social environment in which the author lives. Only in this way can the source of anxiety be explained without painstaking speculation.
