Taohua Stream [Zhang Xu]
The flying bridge is faintly separated by wild smoke, and fishing boats are on the west bank of Shiji.
The peach blossoms follow the flowing water all day long. Where is the cave at the clear stream?
The poems and prose with Peach Blossom Spring and Peach Blossom Stream as their themes originated from Tao Yuanming in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Since then, many poets have used Peach Blossom Spring and Peach Blossom Stream to write poems. This poem "Peach Blossom Stream" expresses the poet's yearning and pursuit for an elegant and secluded place like a peach garden, and shows the author's life aspirations as a mountain hermit. It is well-founded to say that Zhang Xu's poems reveal the flavor of the art of Kuangcao Shufa. You see, the poet placed eight scenes in four lines of poetry, namely "flying bridge", "wild smoke", "rocky rock", "fishing boat", "peach blossom", "flowing water", "cave" and "clear stream". It can be regarded as the heavy ink and dense color part in cursive script, while "yinyin", "separated", "xipan", "sui", "where by", etc. can be regarded as the sparse part in cursive script. These two parts of words are combined organically by the users, just like the layout in cursive script, which focuses on setting the heat, echoing the upper and lower figures, the balance and symmetry of the left and right, the matching of the thickness of the lines, and the patchwork of virtual and real. This is one of them. In addition, judging from the artistic conception of the poem, "faint" in the first sentence is already a false statement, and then paired with "fly" and "wild", it gives people an erratic speed. The role of the word "ask" in the second sentence cannot be underestimated. According to "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring", although the fisherman visited the resort of Peach Blossom Spring, when he visited again, he no longer knew where the cave was, so the result of asking was only It can be a confusing situation. The third sentence further uses the peach blossoms drifting all day long to reflect that there is no trace of the peach blossom garden, thus increasing the fantasy meaning of the poem. The last sentence completely immerses people in a kind of doubt, which makes the readers feel more and more hazy. Therefore, by summarizing the artistic conception of this poem, we can know that the work is full of the ethereal and winging artistic atmosphere of the poet's cursive calligraphy art. Because the poet is a calligrapher, the poem shows his wild character and elegant and romantic poetic style. The whole poem focuses on "lamenting that there is no place to escape from the world", which vaguely reveals that the poet feels that the ideal realm is elusive and difficult to find. The melancholy mood expresses the praise of the quiet environment and the pursuit of a reclusive life. The poet's pursuit of the ideal state in his heart is all contained in Peach Blossom Creek.
