Yongcao Bai Juyi’s ancient poems

There are many poems in "Ying Grass", the most famous one is the seven-character rhyme poem written by Yu Zizhi, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although this poem is called chanting grass, it is not actually a chanting of grass. It just uses grass to express emotions and adds various associations to give people an aftertaste. Below are the ancient poems of Bai Juyi that I compiled about chanting grass. I hope it will be helpful to you!

The green water invades away from the pavilion, carrying the setting sun across other islands in the distance.

The moon is reflected in the wilderness in the Golden Valley Garden, and the green autumn is under the stone city.

Pedestrians look at Wang and Sun with regret and buy out the golden hairpin and twelve sorrows.

Brief analysis

This poem is called chanting grass, but it is not actually a chant of grass. It just uses grass to express emotions. It has a unique conception and unique flavor.

Ancient poets often used cursive to write about farewell feelings and express their worries. Bai Juyi's "The luxuriant farewells are full of farewell feelings" is a typical example.

The first couplet of this poem seems to be a combination of the first and last sentences of Wei Yingwu's "Chuzhou West Stream": "I pity the grass growing beside the secluded stream" and "There is no boat crossing the wild river". Faced with this state, the poet raised the strange question of "Who knows how to forget worries", but there seemed to be no answer. In fact, there was no need to answer, it was "grass".

The couplet has a similar meaning to "The distant fragrance invades the ancient road, and the clear green meets the deserted city", but it is better written than Bai Juyi's two sentences. "Green water" and "setting sun" are not only more specific, but also more vivid Image; the two verbs "sui" and "bring" are also better than "invade" and "connect", and are more anthropomorphic and dynamic.

The neck couplet is reversed, giving "grass" a strange flavor: in the Golden Valley Garden, "the running water is ruthless and the grass springs from spring", is it also "pooring the people who fell in the Golden Valley"? Under the stone city, "but the cold smoke has faded and the grass is green", is it also "the motherland cannot bear to look back in the moonlight"? Here, "grass" expresses the endless melancholy of "what will happen when the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed?" Grass has a tenacious vitality. It "cannot be burned out by wild fire, but will grow again when the spring breeze blows." However, people who have passed away and the country has been destroyed can not be reborn.

The last link is love. The poet looks forward with regret that "the kings and grandsons have not returned from their travels, and the spring grass is growing luxuriantly". He also thinks that the rich generation Shi Chong has long since "died away in ashes", and the peerless beauty Lvzhu has long since "flowers have fallen and people have perished." Endless emotions couldn't help but well up in my heart. But if you think about it further, people are worse than grass. All fame and wealth, glory and wealth can be discarded. Thinking of this, the poet gradually calmed down.
