The role of allusions in poetry
It's very interesting to use canon in poetry —— The ingenious use of canon in ancient poetry (Song Ling) is a common expression technique used by poets in past dynasties.
In a poem, historical facts about people, places, events and things in the past, or words and beautiful sentences with sources are quoted to express the poet's certain wishes or feelings, and to increase the image, meaning and elegance of words and expressions, or the connotation and depth of artistic conception, which is called "allusions".
"Allusions are also a rhetorical device of poetry, which can avoid being clear at a glance and leave readers room for association and thinking between the lines.
Indeed, clever and appropriate use of allusions can make poetry rich in meaning, concise, subtle, solemn and elegant, make expression more vivid, make poems more concise, make words near and far, subtle and euphemistic, thus improving the expressive force and appeal of works and reaching what ancient poets often say: touch the bottom! Next, I will mainly talk about four points. First, the main function of poetic allusions; Second, the main forms of allusions; Third, the method of using allusions; Fourth, we should pay attention to three issues when using allusions.
First of all, let's specifically talk about the main functions of poetry allusions: First, to evaluate history and discuss the present with reference to the past.
Such as: Boqin Zhun (Du Mu) smoke cage is filled with water, moon cage sand, and night parking near Qinhuai restaurant.
Businessmen don't know how to hate their country, but they still sing "backyard flowers" across the river.
The title of the poem "backyard flower" is an allusion. Chen Houzhu's Flowers in the Garden of Yushu in the Southern Dynasties was called "the voice of national subjugation" by later generations.
Poets lived in the late Tang Dynasty, when the national fortune declined. These rulers did not pay attention to state affairs, but gathered in restaurants to enjoy decadent music. How can they not let the poet worry that history will repeat itself? Therefore, the poet here borrows the historical story of Chen Houzhu's national subjugation due to debauchery to satirize the wasted time of the rulers in the late Tang Dynasty.
Second, lyrical expression, showing the heart.
For example, "When will Feng Tang be issued?" in Su Shi's "Hunting in Jiangchengzi Mizhou" There is an allusion in the book.
According to the biography of Han Feng Tang, Shang Wei served as the satrap in Yunzhong during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, and made meritorious service to Xiongnu. However, he was convicted and dismissed for reporting six more heads when he made meritorious service.
Later, Wendi adopted Feng Tang's suggestion and sent Feng Tang and Jeff to the cloud to pardon Shang Wei.
Here, the poet is in Michigan, and his talent is not obtained, and his ambition is hard to pay. Shang Wei speaks for itself. I hope that one day, the imperial court can also send people like Feng Tang to express their lofty aspirations.
Yong Yu Le Jingkou Gu Beiting missed the past forever, and the hero could not find Sun Zhongmou.
Dancing in the pavilion, singing on the platform, wind and rain always blow away romantic feelings.
The setting sun shines on the grassland covered with grass and trees. People say that this was once the place where Emperor Wu of Song lived.
Looking back, how powerful he was when he led the Northern Expedition and recovered lost ground!
However, Li Liu Yi Long, the son of Liu Wang Yilong, was a great success and made a swift northern expedition. Instead, he made the Northern Wei Emperor Wu Tuoba fly south and returned to the north bank of the Yangtze River, which was severely hit by his opponent.
I have been back to the south for forty-three years, and I still remember the war scenes in Yangzhou.
Looking back, there is a crow club drum under the beaver temple! Who can ask: Lian Po is too old to eat? This word uses four allusions, which are set in the canon. Let's start with Lian Po's last allusion.
Lian Po is a famous Zhao. The prince of Zhao listens to slanders and doesn't trust him.
