Appreciation
This poem appears to be a landscape poem, describing the beautiful scenery of spring; in fact, it is a philosophical poem, expressing The poet's beautiful desire to pursue the path of a saint in troubled times embodies the meaning and interest in the image, and the conception and writing are wonderful.
The first sentence is "the sun is shining brightly on the shores of Surabaya": "the sun is shining brightly". , points out the tense of tomorrow; "Sishui Bin" points out the location; "Xun Fang" points out the theme. There are three layers of narrative in one sentence, especially the word "Sishui Bin" is the author's intentional arrangement. Writing about the author's joy also adds a lot of interest to the poem.
The second sentence, "The boundless scene is new," describes the initial impression gained from watching the spring scenery. "Looking for fragrance every day" talks about the result of searching for fragrance. Use "boundless" to describe all the scenery within sight. "New for a while" not only writes about the return of spring to the earth, the natural scenery takes on a new look, but also writes about the refreshing joy of the author during his outing. Feel. There is no detailed description here, no cutting and pasting of every plant, tree, or stone, but writing from a very vast space.
The last two sentences use figurative language to specifically describe the new situation and express the gains from seeking fragrance. "It's easy to know the Dongfeng side", the word "knowledge" in the sentence inherits the word "find" in the first sentence. "Easy to recognize" means that the face and characteristics of spring are easily identifiable. It means that I am looking for beauty in the sun. I didn’t expect to have endless scenery. Now that I have such a fresh feeling, I can’t help but jump for joy. "Dongfeng Nian" visualizes and personifies the spring atmosphere and spring scenery, and puts the word "knowledge" into practice.
The last sentence "Everything is always spring" means that these colorful scenes are all dyed by spring light. People understand spring and feel the beauty of spring from these thousands of purples and reds. This specifically explains why we can "know the east wind side easily". The word "colorful purples and reds" in this sentence is closely related to the "east wind" and far away to the "boundless scenery". It is a rhetorical figure with strong imagery. The poem ends with "It's always spring" and everything falls on "spring day".
Literally, this poem seems to be about the impressions of spring outing, but upon closer inspection, the location of the search for fragrance is the shore of Surabaya, which was occupied by the Jin people when the Song Dynasty was crossing south. Zhu Xi had never gone north, so of course it was impossible for him to visit the shores of Surabaya to sing in spring. In fact, the word "Sishui" in the poem refers to Confucius, because in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius once taught students by singing string songs between Zhu and Si. Therefore, the so-called "seeking fragrance" refers to seeking the way of saints. The space shown in "Boundless Scenery" is extremely vast, which reveals the poet's original intention of pursuing the holy way. "East wind" is a metaphor for education, and "a riot of purple and red" is a metaphor for the richness and variety of Confucianism. The poet compares the way of the saint to the spring breeze that stimulates vitality and ignites all things. This is actually a philosophical poem that embodies truth and interest in images. Philosophical poetry does not show traces of reasoning, which is Zhu Xi's brilliance.
