Song dynasty. Huang tingjian
A leaf boat rolls a curtain, an old wife learns to drink and talk with people, and people write poems all over the south of the Yangtze River.
Apes under the forest looked down at the inkstone, deer lay in front of the rock and watched the sails, and cuckoo sounded like a ring.
Appreciation of works:
Huang Tingjian, one of the four bachelors of Su Shi School, is as famous as Su Shi and is regarded as the leader of Jiangxi Poetry School. He is versatile, both a poet and a calligrapher. But his experience is not without ups and downs. He was relegated twice in his later years and finally died in the secluded Yizhou relegation office in Guangxi. This song "Huanxisha" seems to be his work before he was demoted. Between the lines is full of emotion and interest. Full of strong life breath. It shows the carefree mood of a talented poet, lyricist and calligraphy master who loves nature.
The first film describes the poet's strong interest in 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 "speaking freely", 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. "The deer lies on the rock and watches the sail": The deer lies there freely, quietly watching the poet's every move, showing great interest. It makes people feel that this situation is indescribable. It is really: "There is a true meaning in it, and I forgot to say it if I wanted to argue!" Then, the poet left the ship and went ashore, causing a "sound chaos" on the shore and a "ring-like" vortex on the side of the ship.
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.
