Xu Wei (A.D.1521-1593) was born in Qingtengshan. Yin Shan (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) was born. Famous artists in Ming Dynasty. I took the township exam in my early years and tried it every time; In middle age, he was a guest of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and made suggestions for the military anti-Japanese war. However, because Xu Wei hated evil and despised powerful people, he was down and out all his life and even went crazy for a time. In his later years, he could only make a living by selling calligraphy and painting. He has high goals in calligraphy, painting, poetry and drama. His paintings are unique, especially good at flowers and birds. According to historical records, freehand brushwork and ink splashing, which is popular in modern flower-and-bird painting, began to develop from him. His poems and essays are not rigid, and there are many places that go beyond the previous views and break the routine in his works of opera and zaju.
2. Background information
According to legend, the earliest kite in China was made by Mo Zhai, a philosopher during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago. He came up with the idea of making kites in Lushan (now Wei County, Shandong Province) because he saw eagles hovering in the air, but the process of making kites was not smooth. After three years of research and trial production, he finally made a wooden bird out of wood, but it broke after only one day's flight. Later, Mo Zhai passed on his kite-making career to his students' open class (also called Luban). He made kites out of bamboo according to Mo Zhai's ideal and design. Lu Ban split the bamboo, cut it into smooth slices, roasted it with fire, made it look like a magpie, and flew in the air for three days. Kites were later used in the military to detect the enemy's position. After the Tang Dynasty, its use began to change into entertainment. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people gradually formed a custom. On this day in Tomb-Sweeping Day, people fly kites high and far, then cut the string of kites and let them fly away with the wind, which means letting the "depressed gas" accumulated in the past year be completely discharged and praying for the elimination of diseases within one year.
Xu Wei was down and out in his later years, mainly selling paintings for a living. "Wind kite" is one of his painting themes in his later years. He painted a large number of "wind kites" with poems. There are more than 30 such poems, and here is a representative one. Through the description of children flying kites, he poured his future hopes and sustenance on children and expressed his feelings.
Three notes
1. Wind kite: or "paper kite". Kite: ○ Guangdong [yuan], [jyn1]; ○ Han [yu ā n]; Eagle. The kite is often painted with an eagle, hence the name. Strictly speaking, there are still differences between kites and paper kites. The so-called "kite" means that it can make a sound similar to a kite line in the air; As for the "kite", it is a dumb bird that only flies but doesn't sing. Kite is to tie a bowstring on the back of the kite, or press bagpipes on the head of the kite. When the paper is lifted, the strong wind passes through the flute or causes the bowstring to vibrate, which will make a purring sound. Ordinary kites don't make sound. However, people no longer distinguish between the two.
2. Rub: ○ Guangdong [measures]; ○ Korea [Cu Fei]. Rub your palm repeatedly, or put your palm on something else and rub it back and forth.
3. Catkin: Catkin. Willow seeds, with white fluff, are called "catkins", also known as "catkins cotton".
4. Search: ancient unit of length, with eight feet as a search, Chihiro is extremely long.
5. Elimination: consumption, consumption.
6. Introduction: Introduction.
Four main points of appreciation
The poet organically combines poetry and painting with rich imagination, and poetry and painting complement each other, which is very interesting. This poem describes the preparation before flying a kite and the feeling of flying a kite, but it does not directly describe the activity of flying a kite, so it should be explained by pictures. The poet told readers that a group of children rubbed and rubbed hard, and when the kite-flying string was rubbed long enough, everyone came to the suburbs with great interest. Then readers can see from the picture that this is a good day to fly kites. The wind is blowing, the sun is shining, the children are running around and sending kites into the sky. From this painting, the poet has a feeling: in the spring breeze, how much effort is needed to send kites to the sky and soar at will; And how much effort does the elders need to spend to train their children one by one and send them to Qingyun Road?
The first half of the poem focuses on the children's preparatory activities before flying kites. The poet did not describe all the preparatory activities comprehensively, but only started with one detail and wrote how they tried to weave kite leads. The word "rub" three times in a row reveals the serious and eager form of children. The impatient children are not tired of this monotonous and laborious work, which shows how much they are looking forward to flying kites. Immediately after the word "enough", they stopped working as soon as the lead they rubbed reached a sufficient length, and their uncontrollable joy and eagerness jumped onto the paper, as if to jump up and fly the kite into the sky. The poet's desire for children is accurately grasped and described in detail. The last two paragraphs show the poet's thoughts flying, and the carefree child on the screen seems to be the figure of his childhood. Holding a kite, he is immersed in happiness with a beautiful vision for his future life. I don't know when, the harsh reality shattered his dreams one after another. Now he is old and has gone through many vicissitudes, but he still has hope for the future. He sincerely hopes that the children can fly to Qingyun with the help of the spring breeze. For kites, "spring breeze" refers to the breeze that takes them to the sky; For children, it refers to the cultivation of parents and teachers, which can "bring" children to the top of the world. The whole poem is full of reality and reality, which not only has a strong atmosphere of real life, but also has the magnificent color of imaginary world.
A good poem on painting helps to understand the connotation of painting; Readers can give full play to their imagination by reading poems and paintings. This poem is a typical example of successful poetry and painting.
(2) Feng Kite 1 Painting Poetry (1) Xu Wei
Wicker rub, 2-thread filler, 3-cotton rub,
Wipe enough Chihiro for 4 kites.
How many troops have been lost in the spring breeze,
Take six children to heaven.
