"Tian Jing Sha·Autumn" Bai Pu
The setting sun in the isolated village is covered with light smoke and jackdaws in the old trees. Under the shadow of a little Feihong. Green mountains and green waters, white grass, red leaves and yellow flowers.
The first picture is what is depicted in the first two sentences. The author picked out six kinds of natural scenery: village, sun, clouds, smoke, trees, and crows, and dyed them with six words with the same emotional color: lonely, fallen, disabled, light, old, and cold. The juxtaposition of six images makes the whole picture enveloped in a bleak atmosphere, making people feel a strong sense of autumn, which corresponds to the title "Autumn". "The sunset" not only points out that it is evening, but also conveys a helpless and melancholy feeling of "the sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is almost dusk". An isolated small village, with old trees, infested by crows, completely lifeless, and surrounded by misty "smoke", makes people feel desolate and confusing. Here, the author uses realistic techniques to depict a dark, bleak, and deserted late autumn landscape.
However, not all places are so bleak and deserted. Look at the scene "under the shadow of a little flying red", "green mountains and green waters, white grass, red leaves and yellow flowers." This picture is colorful, bright and full of vitality, forming a strong contrast with the previous picture in terms of environmental atmosphere.
The same autumn scene, why is there such a big contrast? What kind of thoughts and feelings does the author want to express? A clear answer cannot be found just by comparing these two scenes. If we link Bai Pu's reluctance to be an official in the Yuan Dynasty, the answer is not difficult to understand. The "little bit of Feihong" in the picture is the same as the one in Li Bai's "Sending Pei Shibatu South to Songshan Mountain Part 2": "It's hard to describe the feeling of flying with a finger. There is no sooner or later when we return together, and there is Qingyuan in Yingshui." "Feihong" has different meanings but the same purpose, both are metaphors for the author himself. Bai Pu did not want to seek a position in the court, but he hoped that he would be like a wild goose soaring high, flying away from that bleak, deserted and lifeless place, and find a paradise where he was satisfied and full of life. Therefore, we can understand the land of "green mountains and green waters, white grass, red leaves and yellow flowers" "under the shadow" as the author's place of retreat and the scene in the author's heart. The mood is cheerful and peaceful, without any sense of negativity. It shows the author's love for the secluded life, so it should be a fictional writing.
In this piece of music, the author very cleverly and discreetly puts the "scenery in his heart" together with the real environment at that time, creating a strong contrasting effect and implicitly revealing his love and hate
