Creative background and appreciation:
First, the creative background
This poem is the poet's praise for painting. There are different opinions about the author of this poem. It is said that it was written by Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty, but there is no such poem in Wang Wei's works or the whole Tang poetry.
First, it was originally a part of the ode poem written by the Buddhist monk Zen master in the Southern Song Dynasty to annotate the Buddhist classic Diamond Sutra; When it is said that it was written by an anonymous person in the Song Dynasty, for example, when the Chinese textbooks for primary schools in Shanghai are included, the author column is "anonymous person in the Song Dynasty".
Second, appreciate
The first sentence, "The mountains are colorful in the distance", is an intuitive and objective image. This is a "quiet place", which has a sense of beauty because of its distance, making people feel that it has unlimited scenery. This color has infinite meanings, but the beauty of comeliness, handsome, red, wet and green can also be the beauty of cool gray, or it can be a strange and extraordinary color, which can only be tasted by meditators.
The second sentence is "listening to water is silent", because the source is running water, so there is "dynamic environment" The word "silent" has entered a quiet state, quiet and far-reaching, and there is no contradiction with the first sentence. The poet can be said to be adept at choosing between motion and static. Moreover, since poetry is a painting, what is painted is naturally silent.
It has nothing to do with "near listening" and "far listening", but logically speaking, "anti" contains "positive", and negative propositions always assume positive propositions first. "Water is silent" not only describes the objective facts of painting, but also indicates that the water in painting should have a sound, but now it seems to have a sound, which makes the viewer have the desire to "listen attentively", which is also the reason why superb painting art plays an empathetic role.
The third and fourth sentences "Spring is still blooming, and people are not surprised when they come." It is said that although flowers bloom heartily in that most beautiful season, they will float away when they burn to the most beautiful extreme. Only the flowers in the painting are beautiful and don't thank, and the birds in the painting are always so lovely and moving.
The painting in the poem seems to represent a dream, a dream that can be seen but cannot be realized. Moreover, just like the second sentence of "Water is Silent", "The bird is not surprised when people come" also means that the bird should be "surprised", so this shows that the bird described by the artist is realistic.
Here, the poet uses "quietly listening to the sound of water" to express the gurgling sound of water, and "people are not surprised when they come" to express the amazing vitality of birds. The technique is very clever.
