Such a small poem is charming and gives people a fresh feeling. This poem was quite popular at that time, and a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty who later followed him praised it: "The sentence about the broken bridge on the spring river is explained. I heard about Xu Shichuan in the old days." The poet visited the lake in the early spring weather. How can you see it? There are poems to prove it. Swallow is a migratory bird. It comes, symbolizing the coming of spring. The poet met the swallows busy in the field, and immediately felt the joy of the arrival of spring. He couldn't help but suddenly asked: "Swallows flying together, when did you come back?" This question is very good, starting from the question. His tone expressed the surprise and joy he felt at the time.
Looking again, spring is indeed here, and the peach blossoms by the lake are in full bloom, bright red. But the peach blossom is different from the willow tree. Its branches and leaves are not drooping. How can it be dipped in water? Because it rains in spring, the lake water rises and is closer to the flower branches. The reflection of the peach blossoms is reflected in the water, and the ripples are rippling. The flower branches on the shore are connected together. When seen from a distance, it seems as if they are dipping in the water and blooming. This scenery is extremely beautiful! However, the word "游" has not yet been written. To overcome this difficulty, one must have an ingenious idea. The poem cannot express it directly like a narrative, but should choose a picture and use a clear image to make the reader understand that it is indeed a spring outing to the lake. The poet is out on a spring outing on the long lake embankment, and many moving scenery comes to him. So which one is the best to choose? Finally I chose it: right at the place where "spring rain breaks the bridge". There is usually a small wooden bridge over a small stream. After the rain, the water rose and the small bridge was submerged. Once you reach this point, you cannot cross. "People cannot spend time" means that tourists cannot spend time there. This is a huge setback for a pleasant spring outing. But by chance, a small boat was pulled out from deep in the willow shade, so we could rent a boat to ferry and continue our sightseeing tour. After the obstruction of the broken bridge, this spring outing became more interesting. The Broken Bridge is a place where contradictions are concentrated and is the key to the spring outing. Encounter obstacles in progress, and make progress in obstacles. The word "you" is expressed in such actions.
This poem describes the unique scenery of the Jiangnan water town with fresh writing style, breaking away from the stereotyped techniques, allowing readers for thousands of years to feel the joy of the boat.
The last two lines of this poem are particularly famous. From the broken bridge, you can see the rising water; from the small boat, you can see the width of the lake. It fully embodies two important aesthetic characteristics of Chinese poetry art: First, the description of scenery must be bleak in addition to beauty. Peach blossoms blooming and swallows flying together are bright and beautiful, but without a broken bridge, there will be less leisure and fun; secondly, the reality is used to describe the virtual, and the virtual and the real are intertwined. The small boat is pushed out of the willow shade, and the spring scenery of the lake is fully revealed.
