Interpretation: Sorry for the grass, there are orioles singing in the trees. Spring tides bring rain late and come in a hurry, and there is no boat to cross the wild.
Brief analysis
This is a famous landscape poem and one of Wei's representative works. This poem was written in the second year of Jianzhong in Tang Dezong (78 1), and the poet became the secretariat of Chuzhou. The Tang Dynasty ruled Chuzhou, which is now Chuxian County, Anhui Province, and Xijian was in the western suburbs of Chuzhou City. This poem is about a trip to Xijian in spring to enjoy the scenery and a trip in the evening rain.
Poets write scenes with feelings. They use scenes to express their feelings, write about their likes and dislikes, and talk about their comfortable and uncomfortable situations, but their inner peace and emotional sadness naturally show up. However, whether there is sustenance in poetry and what is its significance have been debated endlessly. Some people think that it is the thorn of "the gentleman is next, the villain is above"; Some people think that "there is no need to entrust the scenery of Xixi to this couple."
In the first two sentences of the poem, in the prosperous spring scenery, the poet loves the solitary grass by the ravine, but has no intention of singing attractive orioles on the deep trees, so it sets off the contrast. When the grass is poor and sober, and the oriole is tall and flattering, its metaphor for the official world is obvious, which clearly shows the poet's calm mentality. The last two sentences, the late tide and spring rain, the water is more urgent. The rural ferry, originally there were not many pedestrians, is even more deserted at the moment. So, even the boatman disappeared, and the empty ferry floated freely and carefree.
Because the ferry is in the countryside, nobody cares. If you are in Jin Yao, the tide will rise in the evening rain, which is just the time when the ferry comes in handy. You can't be idle. Therefore, in this leisurely scene of water crossing the boat, there is a kind of helplessness and sadness that is not in place and not used. In the first two sentences and the last two sentences, the poet used contrast techniques and emphasized them with striking words such as "pity", "urgency" and "horizontal", which should be said to be thought-provoking.
