In the chapter "Elegance" in Zhong Rong's "Poetry", it is written: "I sleep in the green shade of the piano, with a waterfall on it. The fallen flowers are speechless, and the people are as pale as chrysanthemums. The age of the book, its words can be read "I think there is no better way to describe the beauty of poetry and books."
There is a theory of "virtual tranquility" in Chinese literary theory. Laozi proposed "purging away metaphysical knowledge", Zhuangzi "virtual tranquility", and Liu Xie's "Tao Jun's literary thought is valuable in emptiness and tranquility..." "Snow Spirit" are all in this vein. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that this theory could not be any better for describing the quality of reading poetry and books. When reading, you can consciously form a reading "field" (i.e. atmosphere), which can allow people to stay away from the hustle and bustle, think quietly, and let the calm atmosphere fill their surroundings. In Chinese literary theory, there is a theory of "spiritual thinking" in terms of creation, which refers to the creative conception of writers when their imagination is active or in a state of burst of inspiration. It says: "The thinking of literature is far away! Therefore, it is silent and contemplative." , Thinking for thousands of years; quietly moving, seeing thousands of miles; chanting, breathing in the sound of pearls; before eyebrows, the color of the wind and clouds is so beautiful! The field of reading can also be compared when reading poetry. , often you will enter a state of "mind wandering" while reading, as if the words in front of you have disappeared, leaving only the wind, frost, moon, and the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers.
This is what is intuitively perceived. The beauty of poems and books.
In my opinion, the beauty of poems and books has three levels:
The first is the beauty of language and writing.
The Crescent School of Metrics proposed a theory. A theory of poetry that believes that new poetry should follow the "three beauties" principle of "musical beauty, painting beauty, and architectural beauty" in the creation process. The ancient Su Shi also said: "When you taste the poetry of Mojie, there are paintings in the poetry." "The poems and books that can enter your heart must have paintings hidden in them. The flowing water is graceful, the flowers and the moon are sentimental; the scenes blend together, and the charm is endless.
Sometimes I like poems and books, but I don’t necessarily only like the inner thoughts. Sometimes I just like them. When I see those words, I feel happy. For example, when I read poetry, Wang Wei's "Xinyiwu": "The hibiscus flowers are at the end of the wood, and the calyx is red in the mountains. There is no one in the stream. They open and close one after another. "When I read it for the first time, I was amazed. I felt that the words alone were so beautiful to recite that I forgot about them. When I read Wen Tingyun's "Bodhisattva Man", the description of the palace concubine was nothing more than: "I am too lazy to paint my eyebrows, too late to put on makeup and toiletry. Looking at the flowers in the front and rear mirrors, the flowers reflect each other. "But I feel so good in my heart. In just a few strokes, the lazy and lonely mood has been fully revealed; read the famous line from "The Peony Pavilion": "Like this, flowers and plants are loved by people, and life and death follow people's wishes. No one complains about the sourness and sorrow." You don't need to study the meaning carefully, but you are naturally stunned.
Lin Daiyu heard the song of Xiaodan of Lixiangyuan: she just sang: "Just for you, you are like a beautiful flower, and the years are like a fleeting time. . " After hearing these two sentences, Daiyu couldn't help feeling moved. She also heard the sentence "You pity yourself in the secluded boudoir" and other sentences. She became even more intoxicated and could not stand still, so she squatted down and sat on a mountain stone. While chewing on the eight words "Like flowers and beautiful family, like the passing of time", I suddenly remembered the sentence in the ancient poem I saw the other day, "The water flows and the flowers fade, the two are ruthless"; and in the poem, there is also "Flowing water and falling flowers, spring is gone, heaven and earth are gone." "The sentence also combines with the sentence "The flowers fell and the water ran red, and there were all kinds of sorrows" in "The Romance of the West Chamber" that I just read: They all thought of it for a moment and gathered together in one place. After thinking about it carefully, I felt my heart ached and my eyes were filled with tears.
Writing this point, let’s just quote the words of the Red Mansion to describe the beauty of the language of poetry and books. It is as follows: “Xue Pan suddenly caught a glimpse of Lin Daiyu’s graceful and graceful style, and she collapsed there. "The beauty of poems and books, needless to say, can be understood by those who are born with exquisite minds. Even ordinary people like me don't feel "over there" after reading them.
The beauty of poems and books, secondly It lies in the beauty of its profound connotation.
Read "The Song of Burying Flowers": "The person who buries the flowers today will laugh like crazy, but I will not know who will be buried tomorrow." "It was a sigh of relief that life is short. I read, "May I have wings under my ribs and fly with the flowers to the end of the sky. Where is the fragrant hill at the end of the sky? " And the yearning for freedom and detachment can't help but arise;
Read "Song of Everlasting Sorrow": "The six armies have no choice but to die in front of the horse. "It's so helpless! Read again after the death of the imperial concubine: "No one can take over the land left by the flowers, and the emerald golden bird scratches its head. "How desolate!
"You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams. "People in the Dream of Red Mansions feel heartbroken and joyful when reading peonies, and the same goes for people outside the dream reading Red Mansions. When reading the ninety-eighth chapter, Baoyu heard that Daiyu was critically ill and said, "Anyway, sister Lin is going to die too, and I can't protect her now. Both patients in both places are going to die, and it becomes even more difficult to deal with the situation after they die. It would be better to vacate an empty house and carry me and Sister Lin there as soon as possible. It would be a good place for treatment and waiting while alive, and a good place for resting in death. "When I read it for the first time, I was still young and confused, so I couldn't understand what it was about. But when I read it again as I got older, I burst into tears every time.
When joy comes, sadness comes, and knowledge is full. There are countless of them. The vulgar are happy, but the enlightened are inspired.
After reading poetry for many years, I can always think of the corresponding poems when I encounter the scene of life.
The scene is also solemn, and the heart is lonely. I remember: "Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind, frost, and sword force each other hard.";
In the middle of winter, my heart is as frosty, lonely and helpless, and I remember: "Tonight The wind is strong and cold, the cold wind destroys the trees, and the frost freezes the orchids in the garden.";
When the snow falls, I feel that the world is vast and the four directions are silent, and I recall Liu Zongyuan's "Jiang Xue": "Thousands of mountains and birds are flying away. , thousands of people disappeared. Boat PC World Weng, fishing alone trees and snow. ”
It’s not me who “dropped the book bag”, it’s just that the poems and books are so beautiful that people can’t help but yearn for them.
Laozi said: "Man follows the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature." The beauty of nature, the poet's words are taken from nature, and polished with exquisite poetry, so it has the beauty of "hibiscus emerging from clear water"? Why is it so undesirable?
Finally, the beauty of poetry and books lies in their ability to cultivate people's hearts. The Master praised Yan Hui and said: "With a basket of food and a ladle of drink, in a back alley, people cannot bear their worries, but they will not change their happiness even after they return." What a wise return! However, the wise man has a universe in his heart, and the person who created this universe cannot be incapable of Qing Deng Huang Juan. Gai Kuan, one of the "Four Wonderful People in the Market" in "The Scholars", is in the market and sells goods. He makes a living by tea, but he is also proficient in poetry and calligraphy, integrating the survival skills of the market, the character and spirit of Confucianism, the grace and charm of celebrities, and many other qualities into one body. Therefore, even though he lives in the streets of the market, he still retains his "nobility and integrity". Nor can it be done by the cultivation of poetry and books.
Dancer Yang Liping once said: "I am a bystander of life. I came to this world just to see how a tree grows, how the river flows, how the white clouds float, and how the dew condenses." As time goes by, What will never die is the poetic and artistic heart. The beauty of poetry and books is mesmerizing.
I wish I could be like Yi An, wandering in poems and books, "getting drunk and not knowing the way back", "stuck into the depths of lotus flowers" - "fighting for the crossing, fighting for the crossing, startling a pool of gulls and herons!"
