I said, "Stay at home and miss each other." You said, "The south wind knows what I mean, and I dream of Xizhou."
I said, "I'll wait for you." You said, "Wait for a tree to blossom and hope your leaves come back."
If there is a poem hidden in your heart, time will never overcome beauty. The beauty of poetry lies in its charm, its purity and its intensive reading. Try to read Du Fu's poem "Two Banks of the Yellow River Recovered by the Imperial Army" and experience the beauty written by everyone.
Recover the north and south of the Yellow River
Du Fu
The news of this distant western station! The north has been recovered! At first, I couldn't stop crying on my coat.
Where are my wife and son? There is not a trace of sadness on their faces. However, I packed my books and poems crazily.
On a green spring day, I began to go home, singing my songs loudly and drinking my wine.
Come back from this mountain, pass another mountain, go up from the south and then go north-to my own town! .
This poem was written in the spring of 763 AD, and the poet was 52 years old, just as Tang Jun recovered Luoyang, Zhengzhou and Kaifeng. Shi Siming's son hanged himself after defeat, and the Ministry will surrender one after another. When the poet lived in Sichuan, he suddenly heard the news of victory, expressing his joy at the end of the rebellion. He was eager to get back to his hometown.
Note: The couplets of "Harmony, Deep Drinking, My Home in Green Spring", "Poems in English" (Tao Zhu, published by Jiangsu Ancient Books Publishing House) and "Appreciation Dictionary of Tang Poetry" (Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House) are all written in the way of "singing in duet, My Home in Green Spring". Mr. Huo pointed out that the poet is old and it is rare for the old man to "sing" instead of "sing". Nowadays, singing and drinking are all manifestations of "forgetting me". If it is "daytime", repeat it with "youth" below. The theory of "day" can be traced back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. What is the correct meaning? Because of the difficulty of historical materials, it cannot be solved. We rely on textbooks for the time being and follow the theory of "daytime".
First, write something: the beginning of the scene description, the voice.
The first sentence at the beginning is the most difficult, and so is the ancient poem.
Look at the first sentence, "the news is in this distant west station!" The north has been taken back! " . What do you hear, what do you think? If it is transformed into a narrative, is this the beginning of the "situation description-the opening of a wonderful scene" we mentioned earlier?
Listen: "Wow, good news! Good news! I won a great victory and recovered the lost land in Henan and Hebei! " "Have you heard? I won a great victory, and Henan and Hebei recovered! " "We can go home, we can go back to Luoyang!" ..... Listen to a noise outside the window, "win? Won? " I hurried to the door, and sure enough, the street was full of joy. ...
Is it just a scene description after the transformation? It can be seen that all books are regular and can only be understood by careful study! Let's look at the opening of Wang Changling's Join the Army, Cloudy Snow Mountain in Qinghai. This is the beginning of what we call "environmental description", which writes the magnificent scenery of the frontier fortress with a bold pen. Does it bring readers to the scene of the ancient battlefield at once?
Reading ancient poems like this, don't have a taste. The beginning of writing is observation. After observation, it is writing! You can pick up the pen in your hand, see how the poet writes the beginning, turn it into a modern work, and verify your writing method!
Second, writing: attention to detail, nuanced.
How to show good news at first sight?
How wonderful the poet's feelings are! One action firmly grasps the reader's heart. "Full of tears"-cry! Why are you crying? Why are you crying with joy? I think the poet left home for eight years because of the war and lived in a foreign land for eight years, longing for the war to subside and the country to reappear in peace and prosperity. Once today's long-cherished wish is realized, I recall that Li Yuan was displaced for eight years, and I have mixed feelings and can only cry. It is a detail, and a "cry" makes us realize the poet's complicated heart after the initial spring thunder sounded.
Looking at the couplets again is another action to bring the camera closer-"but look" and look back. After the poet burst into tears with mixed feelings, he looked back and saw that his wife and son were "worried", they were all smiling, and Shu Lang was in their hearts. This is another detail, which reflects the true reflection of people under the good news with the expressions of their wives and sons. It can be seen that "a great victory is really what everyone dreams of!" Then, the poet described it with a detail: the randomness of "rolling poetry books", the uncontrollable joy on his face, and the carefree "singing songs" and "drinking wine" made readers and poets ecstatic together!
The poet does not say "I am so happy" directly, but expresses his joy with his own actions, the demeanor of people around him and verbs. Therefore, when writing, you should also concretize your feelings. When we encounter "good …" and "very …", we must stop and change "…" into concrete actions, into expressions on our faces and thoughts in our hearts, so that readers can dance with you!
Third, writing: the combination of reality and reality, the ocean is deep
Wu Qiao said in the poem "Around the Furnace": "The article is all about hard work, but it is endless empty work. It is a practice to praise more, but it is a vain thing to be extravagant. Tang poetry is more coquettish, so it is wonderful. " It can be seen that writing poetry as a text has an unfinished sense of superiority.
When the neck couplet is singing and intoxicated with ecstasy, the poet moves from reality to emptiness and flies wildly, and his heart has returned to his hometown with a snap of his fingers. This is the author's rhapsody. Imagine how far it is from Basha, Wuxia, Xiangyang and Luoyang, but people use words such as "from", "from the toilet", "after" and "to", and the pictures flying at full speed flash in front of readers one by one. What is valuable is that it is combined with reality in imaginary fantasy, which can be proved by a word "wear". From the dam to the Wuxia Gorge, the gorge is dangerous and narrow, and the boat is like a shuttle. It is true to use "wear".
From the immediate happiness to the desire to go home, I have flown home in a blink of an eye, from reality to virtual, and fantasy is close to reality. When the reality is combined, the author's ecstasy and homesickness are more obvious. When writing an article, we can also learn this method and write our own imagination, especially at the end, and we can use the "dream ending" to make readers fantasize infinitely.
Jin Shengtan praised this poem, "These poems are the best in Du Fu's poems!" There are even sages who commented that "this poem is so happy that it tears, twists and turns, and it is done without makeup." The simpler the more real it is. " It can be seen that "truth" is the most important for writing, describing feelings, telling the truth, writing details with gestures and actions, and combining with reality, giving people an inexhaustible feeling.
