Appreciation of Shi Shuo Xin Yu Yong Xue 1 "Xie Taifu gathered in Leng Xue and told his son the meaning of the paper." The first sentence of the article explains the background of chanting snow. Just fifteen words, covering a lot. The Xie family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is a well-known home of poetry, ceremony and tassels, and its leader is Xie Taifu, that is, Xie An. In such a family, if you can't go out on a snowy day, you can "talk about the meaning of paper." The convener and spokesman are naturally Xie An, and the audience is "children". Time, place, people and events are all mentioned. Then write the main event and sing the snow. In fact, it is the speaker who tests the audience. Why does the speaker have such an interest? It turns out that the weather has changed: "Suddenly it snows". There was snow earlier, but it was not big, and now it has become a vortex of goose feather and heavy snow. This made the speaker feel very happy, so "Gong Xinran said:' What is snow like?' Brother Hu said,' The difference between sprinkling salt and air can be simulated.' Brother and daughter said,' If catkins are not caused by the wind.' There may be many answers, but the author only recorded two: one is "sprinkling salt in the air" as Xie Lang said; The other is what Xie Daowen said: "Catkin is due to the wind". The speaker did not evaluate the pros and cons of these two answers, but just smiled, which was very intriguing. The author did not show his position, but at the end he added the identity of Xie Daowen, "that is, the eldest brother has no concubine and the wife of the left general Wang Ningzhi." This is a powerful hint that he appreciates and praises Xie Daowen's talent and writes that Xie Daowen is "praising talents".
Why is Xie Daowen's ci better? Metaphor pays attention to shape: large groups of snowflakes fall rustling, and the wind flies all over the sky. A mass of catkins, similar to goose feather and heavy snow, will also fly all over the sky because of the wind. There is a saying in the ancient poem that "the catkin pond is a faint wind". The flying snow and catkins caused by the wind give people a feeling of lightness, elegance and elegance. Using the metaphor of "catkins because of the wind" to describe "abundant snow" can be described as similar in shape but similar in spirit. Salt and snowflakes are different in shape and weight, so "salt scattered in the air" can't fly with the wind even when the wind is light. It is not appropriate to use it as a metaphor for "sending charcoal in the snow". Metaphor is more spiritual: salt is scattered in the air, falling heavily, and it is too late to hide. What about appreciation? No sense of beauty. Compared with catkins, the sense of stagnation is swept away, and the wind is flying all over the sky. It's nature. Moreover, the catkin flying season is when bloom is warm in spring, so it is more poetic to write the cold scenery in winter in the scenery of bloom in spring. ▲

Appreciation of Shi Shuo Xin Yu Yong Xue II. This is an eternal story, which shows Xie Daowen's outstanding poetic talent, meticulous observation of things and flexible imagination.
According to the Book of Jin Xie's Family Biography and Shi Shuo Xin Yu, Xie An tasted the default in the snowy day and told his children the meaning of paper. Suddenly, the heavy snow suddenly fell, An Xinran sang a rhyme, and his brother and daughter also sang a song (poem as above). An laughed.
Xie An's joy lies in the fact that the skirt hairpin does not let people, and the niece's poem is above the nephew. According to Xie Lang's rare literary title, Shi Shuo Xin Yu quoted Xu Jinyang Qiu as saying that he was "gentle", while literature quoted Zhongxing Shu as saying that he was "knowledgeable". So my uncle rhymes and my nephew is a chorus, which shows that he has a quick mind. In all fairness, "sprinkling salt in the air" can also be regarded as a analogy. Snow floated down with its white crystal, and Xie Lang made an analogy nearby and painted it in the air without salt. Although not smart, but also poor beyond description.
However, the clever sister is not superstitious about her brother's talent. She thinks it's good to imitate snow with salt, but she doesn't use six petals to describe the basic characteristics of snowflakes, which dance with the wind, surging and endless. Therefore, in view of her brother's original sentence, she made a bold amendment: "If catkins are not due to the wind."
Catkin, as a kind of spring scenery, has the characteristics of flowers, rising with the wind, drifting without roots and flying all over the sky. Liu Hua Fu, edited by Jin Wu, once described: "Flowers are flying in the snow, or the wind is back and swimming thin, or the fog is chaotic and flying, the wild is clean and dirty, and everything is colorful and bright." Xie Daowen compared this to the north wind with snow all over the sky, which is really appropriate. Catkin is bigger than its words, pointing out the scene of "sudden heavy snow" at that time, and "because of the wind" pointing out its natural characteristics of dancing with the wind and rambling. (Zhu He's Jade Case in Song Dynasty has a phrase "Wind in the City". Compared with this, catkins are different and interesting. Look at the metaphor of "sprinkling salt in the air" again, and it will be embarrassing.
Shen Deqian, a member of A Qing Dynasty, said: "It is difficult to show the truth, and it is also difficult to tell the truth. Every object is connected with the form. " Metaphor is the basic rhetorical device of poetry. Its key lies in appropriateness, vividness and novelty. This is where Xie Daowen's sentence is higher than his brother's.
The reason why the real famous sentence has been passed down through the ages and spread to the population is because it can convey the author's inner thoughts and feelings through images. The beauty of Xie Daowen's poem lies not only in the analogy to work, but also in revealing the feelings of a talented woman who loves life and nature. She compares the cold winter scenery with snow in the north wind with the warm spring scenery with cotton blowing in the east wind, which shows the author's cheerful and optimistic mind and sincere yearning for a beautiful spring.
According to Biography of the Book of Jin, Xie Daowen's couplets were praised not only by her uncle, but also by the guests present. This couplet became a much-told story, and Xie Daowen won the reputation of "praising talents" from then on. Later, Liu Xiaozhuo, a A Liang in the Southern Dynasties, wrote a poem about snow, including "Sweet-scented osmanthus trees are beautiful, catkins rain." It's better than a salty pool and it can fly thousands of miles. "Perhaps inspired by Xie Daowen.
It should be pointed out that Xie Daowen's couplets are excellent. It is not a temporary effort or inspiration, but based on her usual profound literary accomplishment. The article Shi Shuo Xin Yu Ci quotes Nv Ji as saying that she is a "literary talent, whose poems, words and praises are handed down from generation to generation". Unfortunately, most of them have not been preserved so far.
