The evaluation of a poem shows the cultural background and magnanimity of the connoisseur. Fortunately, I can't help but be convinced when I hear this praise. Jin Shengtan, a literary critic in the Qing Dynasty, said in his reading of The Sixth Talented Book The West Chamber: "There are six talented books in Shengtan, and the West Chamber is one of them. In fact, however, of the six books, the prosperous Tang Dynasty only looked at them with a pair of eyes. For example, "The West Chamber" is actually reading "Zhuangzi" and "Historical Records" by hand. " How about Mr. Man-Sleeve reading poetry by hand and eye? Allow my handwriting to be classified and entered as follows-
Ancient city wangchun
Li Mengyang in Ming Dynasty
Clouds are gathering, and spring is still far away. The wild color blows cold, and the crow returns against the rain.
The lonely city is still beautiful, and the bald bloom flies. The past is right and wrong.
This poem belongs to nostalgia, with the time of "spring" as the guide and the space of "hope" as the general guide. Outside the time of "spring", the poet writes about heaven and earth in the order of "looking", around the world in parallel with the first couplet, far away (from far to near) with the neck couplet and ancient and modern with the tail couplet.
The first couplet is about the season-"Clouds are gathering and the sun is waning, and spring is far away and thin". The first sentence is about the sunset of a day, and the second sentence is about the sunset of a spring (from the "thin" spring color and the "maixiu" of the necklace).
Wang Chun, the ancient city, wrote about Suqian site, where the Jin Dynasty set up Suyu County, and the Tang Dynasty moved it, so the old city was abandoned.
This poem is about the author himself.
The first couplet must understand two points, one is "spring" and the other is "hope". "Spring" is time and "hope" is space. Look at the time first. "Clouds are gathering, and spring is still far away." It is about seasons, that is, spring, the dusk of a day, and the dusk of spring in the four seasons. Where can I see it is "late spring"-from "Looking at the Sparse Spring", indicating that spring has faded, and it says "Maixiu" below. Wheat generally blooms in the Central Plains in April and May, from which we can see that poetry is about heaven and earth. Between heaven and earth, one day is dusk and one day is late spring.
Zhuan Xu wrote about time and scene-"Wild colors blow cold, crows return against the rain". The previous sentence was written about the wind (following the sunset of the first couplet, "cold" means cold weather, and it is also chilling to be connected with the "past right and wrong" of the last couplet. The poem can be seen as "standing", such as the forest of "crow", the city of "lonely city", the wheat of "Maixiu", the willow of "willow growing" and the independent poet in the field. The ancient city after the rain is located in Suqian. In late spring, easterly or southerly winds predominate. We can even travel through the vast time and space, and imagine the scene of the woodcock returning to its nest in the rain against the southeast wind. With the help of personification and antithesis rhetoric, the couplets of "Wild colors blow the cold, crows return against the rain" express the poet's sadness and regret for the bleak scenery, the desolation of the lonely city and the sadness of history with rainy nights.
"The wild color blows cold, and the woodcrow returns to meet the rain." The scenery in late spring, what is blowing, is actually that the wind blows in all directions and the rain blows. Landscape writing inherits the "sunset" and "spring dusk" of the first couplet. "Cold" means "cold weather" and is associated with "right and wrong in the past" and "chilling" at the end of the sentence. "Stand upright", the wild color stands upright, the crows in the forest return to meet the rain, the lonely city stands in a forest, the wheat of Maixiu stands in front of us, the road is long, the Xiu Yuan stands upright, and the independent poets are isolated in the wild. Crows return against the rain, it rains in late spring, Suqian and Huaiyang, and the southeast wind blows in late spring. As you can imagine, crows return to their nests in the southeast, full of vitality and with an astronomical and geographical perspective.
Necklace couplets are about time and things-"The lonely city is still full of wheat, and the flowers are flying." The previous sentence is all about sadness, things are different, the rain blows and the wind blows, the wheat does not ask for waste, and the old flowers come back in spring. The last sentence expresses Bloom's helplessness for two reasons of flower withering. "Whitehead" is a pun, which not only refers to Mai Xiu, but also includes the author's own situation.
The lonely city is still beautiful, and the bald bloom flies. Neck knot, lonely battlements, sad, things are different, but the rain blows, the city of ancient and modern times, in the wind and rain, the wheat grains don't ask about the rise and fall, "spring comes to spend the old things", and bloom opens when it comes, regardless of the world. But don't ask, it's not enough. Soon, bloom's flower pavilion will wither, and bloom's flowers will also wither. "Whitehead" means that the flowers of wheat are white. There is a pun here. It also refers to the author's own situation. In his later years, it may be the work of the author Li Mengyang in his later years.
It is a common practice of traditional literati to write the current situation in the tail couplet-"Liu is lingering in the Tao, and the former dynasty is right and wrong today", and the former sentence uses "Liu" to express feelings. This move can be traced back to the Book of Songs, Xiaoya Cai Wei. "I have been there, Liu Yiyi." Today I think of it, it's raining. The last sentence, the unity of the whole poem, links the seasons, scenes and things mentioned above (especially the image of "bald head"), which makes people regret how many things have been advocated and abolished in ancient and modern times.
The past is right and wrong. The front is full of love for willows. Willow is a common technique used by traditional literati to write about prosperity and waste. It can be traced back to the Book of Songs. "I went there, Yang Liu Yiyi." Today I think of it, it's raining. "Past dynasties and present dynasties are all poems, inheriting and transferring the" harmony "here. Contact the seasons, scenes and events written earlier, and the last sentence is the current situation. In particular, the image of "bald head" wrote "how many things were abolished in ancient and modern times" and "how many things were abolished in the Six Dynasties", all of which were gossip. "They are all included in the author Li Mengyang's poems. Time is spring, space is the first to write about heaven and earth, parallel to write about four directions, neck to write about distant places, distant western Western jackdaw to write about wheat, then flowers around, and tail to write about ancient and modern times.
This poem, in our analysis, feels that both time and space are sad in the eyes of the poet. Rhetoric, such as personification and antithesis, is in the meaning that we can see at a glance.
Explain more fully, including the details, the echo in the transition from "Li" to "Li", what is the meaning of "dusk", what is "spring dusk", "day dusk" and "cold", cold, cold in the sky, cold in the heart, forest of crows, lonely city and wheat show. We must interpret poetry in the historical space, and have a panoramic view of the vastness of ancient and modern times, the scene in front of us and the inner situation from the perspective of literature, literati and literature history. Only in this way can we truly understand a poem.
Context, time and space are usually understood as a painting. In xu teacher's interpretation, it is heaven and earth, four dimensions, mind and pattern. Ancient literati were not so humble. From the beginning, it was "the sky is against the ground, the snow is against the wind, and the night is against the clear sky". The original idea was not small. Even those poor people, even those who are starving to death, are "the great refuge of all the poor people in the world". Even writing a flower will be extremely lyrical and sentimental.
