Dynasty: Southern Song Dynasty poet: Zhu
Last night, the river was full of springs.
This huge ship is a dime a dozen.
Always in vain,
This is a day of freedom.
(In ancient Chinese, "dragon" can also be used as "Meng Chong")
Poetry translation of "reading comprehension" (Ⅱ);
Last night, the river was in high tide.
This ship is as light as a feather.
It takes a lot of push and pull to keep driving.
Today, I can drift freely in the middle of the river.
Comments: Judging from the metaphor of "the great ship", perhaps Zhu commented on the creation of big characters in the list. The moral of this poem is also profound. A rising tide lifts all boats, and you can travel freely. It is a vivid metaphor that once the artistic creation of calligraphy is inspired, the style of writing can become smooth at once. This is not only an essential process of calligraphy art, but also an important essence of general artistic creation. Of course, this poem can also be understood from another angle, that is, Zhu saw the concise and vivid skills of calligraphy works and tasted the artistic truth that practice makes perfect.
Appreciation and extension
(2) This is also a poem that uses imagery to reason. Taking boating as an example, readers can appreciate the truth related to the art of calligraphy. The poem says that when the boat was shallow, it was futile for everyone to push the boat hard, but when the spring water soared, it floated freely in the current. The poem highlights the importance of a night of spring water, aiming to emphasize the generation of artistic inspiration, which is enough to make artistic creation smooth and comfortable. It can also be understood that artistic creation needs basic skills, and then practice makes perfect, so you can control it freely.
The truth contained in the two poems "Reading Comprehension" belongs to the category of aesthetic principles. The reasoning angle of one poem is to appreciate beauty, and the reasoning angle of the other two poems is to create beauty. This aesthetic principle has certain universality. For example, if the description object of poetry itself is abandoned, this truth can be completely extended. For example, if "book" is understood as "book", the contents of books generally do not include medical books, philosophy books, history books, science books and so on. Instead of reflecting the beauty of literature and art in poetry, songs, prose and other literary contents, it can also be considered that "flowing water from the source" expresses "inexhaustible literary thoughts" and "one-night spring tide" expresses "generate's literary thoughts"
