The evening scene of Hui Chong's riverside is described in prose language, and the truth contained in the poem is expressed in one sentence.
There are three or two peaches outside the bamboo. This is a warm scenery: looking across the sparse bamboo forest, 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. Riverside plumbing duck prophet in the spring water, 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 water heating? 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. Artemisia selengensis has short buds all over the ground and everything is new in spring. By the river, lush Artemisia sphaerocephala covered the ground, and reeds also sprouted short buds. Artemisia selengensis, a wild vegetable, grows in spring. 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." The puffer fish is a "puffer fish" when it wants to go up. The name of fish is delicious and poisonous. Water is delivered by the spring river, and puffer fish goes upstream, which is abundant and the most beautiful. 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. Hui Chong's original painting has been lost, and some versions of this poem are called Riverside Scenery, which has no textual research. Vivid painting makes people have a specific visual feeling, but it can only show a specific picture and has certain limitations. Although a good poem has no visible image, it can attract readers to the beautiful artistic conception formed by the poet's unique conception with vivid language to make up for what some pictures can't express. This poem not only retains the image beauty of the picture, but also exerts the advantages of the poem. With its rich charm and mixed pen and ink, the poet makes the spring scenery depicted in the original painting so charming. Su Shi has a new idea while describing according to the picture, which makes the beautiful images in the painting more poetic and charming.
