The elephant nose drinks Yuxi, and the west wind absorbs water and responds to the waves.
Castle peak is naturally a strange bone, and you can never get tired of seeing each other during the day.
Most people write landscape poems, mostly at the best time. The most beautiful scenery of Elephant Trunk Mountain is the moonlight night. Kong Yong's "Elephant Trunk Mountain" captures the lens of "looking at each other in broad daylight". It can be said that it is a different way and unique.
"The elephant trunk clearly drinks the jade river", and the word "clearly" at the beginning shows the image of "meeting in the daytime". Because it is daytime, all the scenery is so "distinct" and the outline of "trunk" is also clear. And this "trunk" is not static, but active. Look, it is drinking Yuxi! The word "drink" has a vivid expression, and the quiet mountain is written as a moving elephant, giving the dead a sense of movement, as if people could see the elephant swinging straight into the jasper-like water with its nose stretched out. This is poetic enough. Then, the author added: "the west wind absorbs water and responds to waves." How does the west wind "absorb" water? No, it is wrong to think that the subject of this sentence is "west wind" The main body is still "trunk", which sucks water up with the trend of "west wind", thus causing "water response wave" Perhaps the surface of the "Yu He" River, which was as calm as a mirror just now, surged again after this "suction". This is another scene! A "drink" and a "suck", two actions; How accurately and vividly these two verbs are used; This couplet is a couplet, which not only summarizes concisely, but also vividly describes the wonderful scenery of Elephant Trunk Mountain on the banks of Lijiang River. And this kind of scenery can only be seen so clearly and truly during the day. The beauty of Elephant Trunk Mountain seems to be naturally presented without the help and foil of any external conditions. Really "natural beauty"! Therefore, the author said, "Castle Peak is born eccentric, and we meet each other late in the day." . "Strange" people are extraordinary; "Strange bones" are also extraordinary beauty. The lush Elephant Trunk Mountain itself is rich and beautiful, and the scenery here is really "full of weather", which makes people never tire of seeing it, so why must it look beautiful on a moonlit night even during the day? If the West Lake is "always suitable for light makeup and heavy makeup", then the lush and beautiful Elephant Trunk Mountain can also be said to be "always suitable for day and moonlight"! The word "never tire" is plain, but full of emotion, which shows the author's deep attachment to the wonders of Xiangbi Mountain. The conclusion of the sentence "I watch too much in broad daylight, but I can't get enough of it" not only closely relates to the previous sentence, but also summarizes the whole article, leaving a broad imagination space for readers: Why do I watch too much and never get enough of it? It must be an ever-changing landscape, not just a close-up of "the elephant nose drinks the jade river, and the west wind absorbs water and responds to the waves"! This way can be said to be "endless words and endless meanings", which makes people daydream and memorable.
For quatrains, because there are only four sentences, the language should be more accurate, concise and vivid. Judging from what has been said above, this seven-line dance is exactly the case. In addition, quatrains also require rigorous structure. The relationship between the four sentences is a bit like the beginning, inheritance, transformation and combination of an article. The first sentence of this four-line poem is entitled "Qi", the second sentence follows the previous sentence, followed by "drinking" and "sucking". Well done, this "trunk" is getting bigger and bigger and full of energy. The first sentence and the second sentence highlight this close-up, which is a complete picture. How to write it down? You see, the author pushes from the individual to the whole, from appearance to essence. Rao Gucci just points out the whole and essence of Elephant Trunk, which is really a wonderful turning point! Finally, the whole article ends with "never tired of it", which is natural and full of emotion. Such a rigorous structure can be described as ingenious!
