Spring Morning
Tang Dynasty: Meng Haoran
Sleeping sickness in spring unconsciously broke the morning, and the chirping of birds disturbed my sleep.
How many flowers fall after a stormy night.
translate
In spring, it was dawn before I knew it. It was the chirping of birds that disturbed my sleep.
It rained and rained last night. How many beautiful spring flowers have been blown down?
Appreciate:
The poem "Spring Dawn" seems bland at first reading, but after repeated reading, I feel that there is a world in the poem. Its artistic charm lies not in gorgeous rhetoric and fantastic artistic techniques, but in its charm. The style of the whole poem is as simple and natural as running water, but it is profound and unique. For thousands of years, people have read it and discussed it, as if there were inexhaustible artistic treasures in this short four-line poem.
Xiao Chun's language is simple and natural, and there is no trace of artificial carving. In a shallow sense, the scenery is real, just like a clear spring flowing from the depths of the poet's heart, crystal clear, full of the poet's life and beating the poet's pulse. Reading it, just like drinking refined mash, makes you feel drunk. The poet found the true interest and essence of nature through feeling and understanding. "The article is natural and wonderful." This is the most natural poem, the voice of nature.
Brief introduction of the author
Meng Haoran (689-740), male, Han nationality, was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The real name is unknown (a surname is Hao), and the word is noble. He is a native of Xiangyang, Xiangzhou (now Xiangyang, Hubei) and is called "Meng Xiangyang" by the world. Awesome, not very virtuous, likes to help people in trouble and works in poetry. At the age of forty, when I visited the capital, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty recited his poems, reaching the language of "I was exiled by a wise ruler because of my mistake". Xuanzong said, "Since Qing didn't ask for an official position and I never abandoned her, why did you falsely accuse me?"
After his release, he lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain and wrote more than 200 poems. Meng Haoran and another pastoral poet, Wang Wei, are also called "Wang Meng".
