As time goes by, the beautiful dreams about the countryside in our hearts have become beautiful poems, engraved in the silhouette of time and passed down from generation to generation. Every time I read it, my dream seems to come back. We are the children running in the wind again, opening our arms and embracing the best time.
Among these poems, there are the most beautiful times and the most beautiful scenery. For example, this classic pastoral poem of the Song Dynasty, in a few words, depicts the most beautiful countryside and is full of poetry! Its author is an unknown poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, but he is remembered by later generations because of this classic pastoral poem that has been sung for thousands of years. This poem is Village Residence by Zhang Shunmin, a poet in Song Dynasty. Let's approach it:
In the literary world of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were many celebrities, such as Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Li Qingzhao and Lu You. Their literary talent is romantic, their achievements are remarkable, and they have left many masterpieces. But at the same time, there are also many obscure poets with outstanding talents and unique personalities, and they have also left many classic poems for future generations. Although the number of these poems is small, they can definitely be regarded as eternal songs.
This is the case with Zhang Shunmin's Village Residence. The records about Zhang Shunmin in history are not very detailed, except that he probably lived in Song Huizong, was a writer and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was upright and upright. He loved painting all his life, so some of his poems describing rural scenery were always poetic and highly praised by people at that time.
This poem "Village Residence" describes the scenery of autumn dusk in the countryside from the painter's perspective, which is very picturesque. From ancient times to the present, there are many poems and classics describing the countryside. Therefore, it is not easy to write new ideas. In this poem, the poet adopts the alternate observation angle of far and near, and pays attention to the rendering and contrast of the scene meteorology. At the same time, using some suggestive pictures and close-up descriptions is unconventional and can be called a swan song.
The first two sentences of the poem, "Water surrounds the hedge of fields and bamboos, and money is scarce", are concrete descriptions of rural scenery. The countryside at this time is quiet and peaceful. There are people surrounded by rice fields everywhere. Outside the fence, bamboo forests are lush. The elm branches and leaves in the yard are all gone, and hibiscus flowers are scattered. These two poems successfully avoided the words such as Mao Yan, Pengmen, and Sampo, which are common in traditional pastoral poetry, but grasped the image of "flowing water, bamboo forest, elm tree and hibiscus flower" and outlined it with great fanfare, which received good artistic effect.
The river gurgled and surrounded the village quietly. In the countryside in autumn, there are no flowers in spring and no trees in summer. Some are just unbeaten bamboo forests all the year round, and some are just fallen elms and hibiscus flowers. The poet didn't describe it too much, but just grasped several unique scenery of autumn countryside and presented a quiet and beautiful rural scenery for people.
Three or four poems are famous sentences that have been sung through the ages. As the sun sets, the afterglow is sprinkled outside the village and I am walking on the path excitedly. However, the poet only captured the close-up of an old cow returning to the village, creating an amazing picture: without the shepherd boy, the cow walked unhurriedly to the village in the sunset; On the back of the cow, a pair of crows stood so leisurely, as if the old cow had brought them back to the village.
There is no one in the whole picture, and the rhythm is slow, just like the close-up in the movie, quiet and peaceful, which makes people enjoy it quietly and warmly. When reading this poem, we can clearly feel the author's inner peace. At the same time, as a painter, this poem also fully embodies the poet's aesthetic view: leisurely, quiet and slightly sad.
In your mind, what color country is the most beautiful? Different people will have different answers. However, one thing everyone agrees with is the tranquility and peace of rural life. Living in the city for a long time, shuttling between high-rise buildings every day, our hearts are full of various desires, and many of us don't even have time to look up at the sky. As a result, over time, the quiet and harmonious countryside has become a poem and distance in many people's dreams!
