Make an appreciative comment
There is such a record in the Biography of Liang Shu Literature: "Except that Wang of Xiangdong joined the army without pomp, the rest were recorded with the officials. There is Yunmen Tianzhu Mountain in the county seat, which you can enjoy or stay there for several months. For Joyehi, the poem says:' Cicada makes the forest quiet, and Yingong Mountain is more secluded.' At that time, I thought it was unique outside the text. "
The "nationality" mentioned above is royalty. The first two sentences of this poem pay enough attention to the theme. The poet sailed to the upper reaches of Ruoye River in a big ship, which is the "entry" in the title. The ship is not sailing fast, but drifting at will, which shows that the poet's trip is to enjoy nature. The word "general" not only describes the vast waters, but also expresses the poet's wanderlust. A word "harmony" reveals the joy of entering. As soon as I entered Ruoyexi, I immediately found that the water here was particularly clear. Looking up at the sky, the sky was very high and the white clouds were leisurely; Looking down at the water, the water reflects the sky, and it is also leisurely; So with the word "* * *", clear sky and clear water are placed in the harmony of nature.
The first two sentences are descriptive, and the last four sentences describe the beautiful scenery of Zoigesi in detail. The poet's observation of "Yin Xia", "Far Cave", "Sunny Sky" and "Countercurrent" is very detailed and objective. The boat goes up and the stream flows from south to north. Therefore, in addition to "entering" in the title, this poem also uses "Yin Xia" and "backflow" as references. Write about the mountains in the distance, the water in the vicinity, the mountains and rivers set each other off, and the realm is wonderful. But the poet is not satisfied with this. He inlaid mountains with clouds and shone clear water with the sun's shadow, filling the realm with layers and colors. Not only that, the poet turned the static scene into a dynamic scene, and the word "life" not only highlighted the dynamic beauty of Xia Yun, but also endowed Xia Yun with interest; With the word "Zhu", people's behavior endows the shadow of the sun, just like the poet of the shadow of the sun, who is chasing back, and wants to walk with China and explore the beauty of the upper reaches. If we say that "the clouds are long-term, the sunny scenery flows back" from the perspective, then "cicadas make the forest quiet and the Yingong Mountain more secluded" is from the perspective of hearing. These two sentences are called "unique outside the text", and their "uniqueness" can be clarified from the following five aspects:
First, the headland is a distant view and the shadow is a close-up view. Here, mountain forests are added. If you write like this, you don't write vertically, but take care of both sides, that is, not only lines, but also faces.
Secondly, the poet's writing about mountains and forests lies in his quiet writing about Ruoyexi. Such a quiet environment echoes "Yin Xia lives in a remote cave and Yang Jinggui returns", which is the realism of "general" and "leisure" interests at the beginning. They * * * together form a realm, which is a lyric copy of the last two sentences.
Third, writing about the quietness of mountains is not about static, but about dynamic. With the chirping of cicadas and the singing of mountain birds, the poet feels more peaceful, just as Mr. Qian Zhongshu pointed out in "A Cone in a Tube", "Silence is deep, and it becomes deeper every time it is set off by sound".
Fourth, the poet's interest is quiet, so his works are not lifeless and silent, but in a quiet state, giving people a feeling of elegance and still full of vitality. Writing about cicadas and birds, cicadas are noisy and birds are singing, which is the purpose. Later, Wang Anshi described it in "One of the quatrains in Zhongshan": "The stream flows around the bamboo silently, and the flowers and plants in the west of the bamboo are soft in spring." Mao Yan sits opposite each other all day long, and a bird doesn't sing in the mountains. "There is no feeling of silence, and it cannot be said that it is not a failure of imitation.
Fifth, these two sentences are in the form of neat antithesis, which has a neat beauty to read.
The last two sentences are very lyrical. The poet said that the quiet state of Ruoyuexi aroused my feelings of returning to my hometown to live in seclusion and made me feel sad for being an official for a long time. "Here", which sums up the above descriptions and feelings, becomes a plan for future life, which is natural and appropriate, and the word "dynamic" is vivid. This is one of them. The scenery is pleasant, but it leads to the poet's sadness. In fact, this is from the opposite side, indicating that the beautiful scenery of Zoigesi gives people joy, but it does not specify the word "joy". This is the second one. The poet's purpose in visiting Ruoyuexi is pleasing to the eye. Unexpectedly, after the tour, he had the idea of retiring to Ruoyexi, indicating that the poet was not proud of being an official for many years, so he put the word "tired" before "swimming", which was the third. This settlement also clearly tells readers that Ji Wang is from Huiji County.
After this poem, poems describing Ruo Yexi emerged constantly, and were more or less influenced by it. For example, Cui Hao's "If you are in a hurry": "What's wrong with canoeing? This is Yunlin. Sitting among fish and birds, shaking the mountains and rivers. The voice in the rock answered, and the words in the stream were quiet. Everything is quiet, don't scratch the other parts of the scene. " Meng Haoran's boating in the west field: "The scenery is clear and bright, and the stream is lightly rowed. Clarify what is in the water of love. If you are in the pot, what can you do? Whitehead fisherman, Xinhua makeup artist. I seem to know and can't speak. "
