Reflections on Reading (Part Two)
Dynasty: Southern Song Dynasty Author: Zhu School: Four Musts
Half an acre of square pond opened, and the sky was overcast.
Ask the canal to be so clear, because there is running water at the source.
A square pond with a size of half an acre is like opening a mirror (figuratively speaking, a calligraphy work is unfolded), and the brilliance of the sky and the shadow of floating clouds are rippling on the surface of the pond (figuratively speaking, the blank space on the paper and the calligraphy lines are vivid). Why is this pond so clear (why is this calligraphy so fresh and meaningful)? There is flowing water from the source (that lies in the continuous injection of artistic inspiration into the writer's heart)!
Appreciation: This is a famous sentence that takes scenery as a metaphor. The whole poem takes Fangtang as a metaphor, vividly expressing a subtle and unspeakable reading feeling. The pond is not a pool of stagnant water, but often full of living water, so it is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the sky and clouds. This situation is quite similar when the same person gets through the problem, gains new knowledge and gains a lot of benefits in reading, and raises awareness. The aura, clear thinking, fresh and lively spirit and self-satisfaction of this poem are exactly the author's personal reading experience as a scholar. Although this feeling expressed in the poem is only for reading, it has profound implications and rich connotations, which can be widely understood. Poetry has profound meaning. The vivid contrast between the rich inspiration of calligraphy art and the flowing water from the source conforms to the characteristics of calligraphy art creation, embodies the essence of general art creation and is the inexhaustible source of calligraphy art works.

This old friend prepared a delicious meal and invited me to his hospitable farm.
Green Woods surround the village and green hills are located outside the city.
Open the window facing the valley vegetable garden and pass the glass to talk about crops.
Please come here to see chrysanthemums when the ninth festival comes.
My old friend prepared a sumptuous dinner and invited me to visit him in Tian She. The beautiful village is surrounded by green trees, and there is a faint green hill outside the city wall. Pushing open the window, facing the threshing floor and vegetable garden, drinking wine and chatting about farming. When I say goodbye, I look forward to the Double Ninth Festival, when I will come for wine tasting and chrysanthemum appreciation.
Appreciation: The poem named "Meng Xiangyang" has no intention of seeking merit, but is fresh and extraordinary. In its freshness and simplicity, it has its own sound of spring water flowing on the stone and the wind blowing to Panasonic. This poem is Meng's masterpiece. The whole poem uses plain language to write plain things, and kindness is seen in peace. Castle peak and green trees, chicken and millet in Sang Ma, what an idyllic scenery; Nursery, old friends, light wine, really like a fairyland on earth. Here, worldly fame and fortune, honor and disgrace are like passing clouds. Old friends get together and wait for a meal of chicken and millet, but they express ordinary and simple things poetically, leaving people with a beautiful artistic conception and fantasy space.
