The article first describes the time, place and participants of the meeting, which is concise. Then describe the natural environment and surrounding scenery where Lanting is located. The language is concise and orderly. Describe the scenery from the big picture, from far and near, to near and far, to infinity. First write about mountains and rivers, then write about clean water and turbulence, and then write about the activities of characters and the combination of modality and movement downstream. Then, with the natural search, from the clear blue sky and the faint spring breeze, it is naturally pushed to the vast universe and everything in the world. The artistic conception is graceful and elegant, and the mood is cheerful and smooth. Lanting banquet can be described as "four beauties and two difficulties".
However, there is no such thing as a banquet that must come to an end. The so-called "joy begets sorrow" is a common emotion of people, although people have different choices and temperaments. Just when I felt extremely happy for what I longed for and finally got, in an instant, all this became the past. Human life is no exception. The so-called "I don't know that the old times are coming" (in Confucius' language), "Old Ran Ran is coming" (in Quyuan's language) and "Life is between heaven and earth, and elections fly suddenly" (19 ancient poems) cannot but arouse people's feelings. Every time I think that a person will eventually die no matter how long he lives, it makes people feel extremely sad and sad. If the first paragraph is a narrative landscape, then this paragraph is a discussion and lyric. The author expressed his yearning and persistent enthusiasm for life in the sigh that life is short and life is not alive. ?
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, metaphysics prevailed for a time, and most of the scholars used Zhuangzi's "Homogeneous Theory" as an excuse to pretend to be enlightened and dismissive. Wang Xizhi is also an eloquent scholar, but he is different from other scholars in political thought and life ideal. He once said: "Empty talk about waste things and superficial articles hinder the main point" (Shi Shuo Xin Yu Remarks). In this preface, Wang Xizhi also explicitly accused "Field of Life and Death" and "Mourning of Peng Qi" as an illusory outlook on life, which clearly affirmed the value of life. ?
This article is fresh and unpretentious in style. The language is fluent, beautiful and moving, which is quite different from the work of Mo Shan Pan Shui in Wei and Jin Dynasties, Couples Fight for a Strange Sentence (Wen Xin Diao Long Ming Shi). The sentence patterns are neat and diverse, mainly short sentences, and even sentences are added to the scattered sentences, which are harmonious in rhythm and pleasant to listen to.
