The Original Text and Appreciation of Fan Chengda's Pastoral Miscellanies in Late Spring (III)

Chengda Fan

Butterfly has entered cauliflower, and no guests have come to Tianjia for a long time.

The chicken flew over the fence and the dog barked until it knew that a businessman had come to buy tea.

As the saying goes, a year's plan lies in spring. In spring, Yanghe began to sow, which is an important month for farming; In spring, "Spring beckons me to smoke", the poet has a sense of things, and the association is not bad, and it can also be expressed best. Therefore, Fan Chengda's Wonderful Pastoral Poems of Four Seasons is divided into "Spring Day" and "Late Spring" in spring, each with twelve unique disciplines, twice as many as the other three seasons.

The first sentence of this poem, "Butterflies both enter cauliflower", is to write the scene of late spring. In Qingming and Grain Rain seasons, rape blossoms are in full bloom, showing golden yellow; In the meantime, there are two pairs of butterflies, dancing and gradually merging into cauliflower, so that butterflies and flowers are difficult to distinguish. This sentence is marked with the word "Ru". Butterfly-shaped flowers are harmonious and beautiful in spring, which sets off the quiet environment of the farmhouse and is quite vivid. Fan Shi also wrote about butterflies in other places, such as "No one crosses the fence for a long time, dragonflies and butterflies fly" ("Summer Village is full of excitement"), "Mulberry leaves show old silkworms, cauliflower becomes pod butterflies" ("Summer"); However, the activities of these butterflies are obviously in early summer, which is different from the scenery in late spring, so the poet's feelings are subtle. The second sentence went on to point out the silence in the village: "No guests come to Tianjia every day." "No guests" means that it is busy spring. "In April, there are few idle people in the countryside, and sericulture is planted in the fields" (Weng Juan's April in the Country). Men, women and children are busy sowing spring seeds and putting into intense labor. There are no guests and no idle people in the village, which seems to be quiet for a long time and the surrounding area is quiet.

Three or four words made waves again, and a noise of chickens flying and dogs barking suddenly broke the peace of this family. Why is this happening? It turns out that there are merchants in the village, going door to door, scaring chickens and flying dogs. "Dog sinus", the hole where dogs go in and out. These two sentences are written in the same way as the first two sentences, with the result written first and the reason written later; Only the former implies causality, and the latter two sentences are connected by the word "know", which makes the causality more obvious.

From the perspective of the whole poem, the front and back are mutually set off and mutually causal. It is precisely because "no guests come to Tianjia" that the village is silent, so businessmen will make trouble when they come; This is like "Tonamiyama is more secluded", and the sound of chickens flying and dogs barking makes the village extraordinarily quiet. From this vivid, quiet and vibrant rural genre painting, we can also imagine the busy spring in the fields and feel the atmosphere of farmers' intense labor. The beauty of this poem lies in that it reveals the beauty of the poem from ordinary things through the contrast between static and dynamic, showing busyness with static and writing emptiness with real.

Like Mu Zhi's poems in Nongsang Bridge, if we compare them with Shi Mao's Huan Feng and Shi Hu's Pastoral Miscellaneous Fun, we can understand the poems in our dreams, which will be interesting and beneficial. Secondly, we must read ten quatrains from Yu Qiao Nong Pu in He Lin Yu Lu. ([Song] Wu Ling's Poems Around the Stream, Volume 2)

Sixty pastoral poems written by you Fan Wenmu. In the Chronicle of Public Welfare, there is a handsome light and a handsome book with Wu, which was written when Da Zi led the cave to Xiao Gong and retired from Shihu. That is, no matter what the bamboo partridge says, the story of Wuzhong farm has been finished in the poem; Calligraphy goes in and out between Meishan and Zhang Yu. It is a pen of rice, mature and beautiful, and its business is bleak. It is really unique. I am not sensitive, how dare I look at the public, but I regard the public as the crown. Fortunately, I still have less time to make up for my leisure. I know I can't add a Wu dialect to the public! Know the ending because of it. (Wang Shizhen's "Fan Wenmu Wuzhong Pastoral Miscellaneous Volume")

Fang Yue's "My Talk on Zita Law" said: "Shi Hu's pastoral poetry is close to inspection, but it is difficult to enter in the Tang Dynasty." Fan Shihu's poem "Four Seasons Pastoral Miscellaneous Glory" has no barriers except pottery, willow, king and storage. Wang Zainan commented: "I learned a lot about Biden, but I recorded all the vulgarity, which made the music have a taste of home." Know what to say! ([Qing] Song Changbai's "Liu Hua" Volume 22)
