Stop and sit in the maple forest late, and the frost leaves are red in February flowers.
-Tang Du Mu's "Mountain Walk"
Appreciate:
This is a seven-character quatrain that describes and praises the scenery of mountains and forests in late autumn. The first sentence: "Hanshan stone path is far away." From the bottom up, write a stone road, winding to the mountains and autumn. The word "cold" points to the late autumn season; The word "far" describes the length of the mountain road; The word "oblique" takes care of the word "far" at the beginning of the sentence and writes a high and slow mountain. Because the slope is not big, you can travel by car.
The second sentence: "Someone is in Bai Yunsheng" describes the distant scenery that the poet saw when he was hiking in the mountains. The word "someone" will remind people of the smoke curling up in the kitchen, the cock crowing and the dog barking, making them feel that the mountains are full of vitality and there is no dead terror. The word "home" also takes care of the "stone path" in the previous sentence, because this "stone path" is the passage for residents in the mountains.
The third sentence: the word "sit" in "Sitting in the Night in Fenglin" is interpreted as "because". Because the evening scenery of the sunset maple forest is so charming, the poet deliberately stopped to watch it. The word "late" in this sentence is exquisitely used and contains multiple meanings: (1) points out that the first two sentences are seen during the day and the last two sentences are scenes at night. (2) Because there is a sunset glow in the evening, the gorgeous sunset glow and the flaming maple leaves reflect each other, and the maple forest is particularly beautiful. (3) The poet lingered, and in the evening, he reluctantly boarded the bus and left, showing his love for red leaves. (4) Because you stop and observe carefully for a long time, you can realize it.
The fourth sentence: "Frost leaves are red in February flowers" is the central sentence of the whole poem. The descriptions of the first three sentences are all paving the way for this sentence. Why do poets use "Yu Hong" instead of "Hong Ru"? Because "red as" is like spring flowers, it is nothing more than decorating natural beauty; And "Red in" can't be compared with spring flowers. It is not only brighter in color, but also more cold-resistant and can stand the test of wind and frost.
This little poem is not only an impromptu ode to scenery, but also an expression of ambition. It is the expression of the poet's inner spiritual world and the sustenance of his interest, so it can enlighten and inspire readers.
This poem depicts the colors of autumn and shows a touching autumn color map of mountains and forests. The poem describes mountain roads, people, white clouds and red leaves, forming a harmonious and unified picture. These scenes are not juxtaposed in the same position, but are organically linked, with the master and the slave, some in the center of the picture and some in the background. To put it simply, the first three sentences are the object, the fourth sentence is the subject, and the first three sentences describe the background, which creates an atmosphere for the fourth sentence and plays a role in paving the way and setting off the background.
"Far away from the cold mountain, the stone path is inclined", writing about mountains and writing about mountain roads. A winding path winds to the top of the mountain. The word "far" describes the length of the mountain road, and the word "oblique" echoes the word "up" to write a high and gentle mountain.
There are people in Bai Yunsheng, which is about clouds and people. The poet's eyes have been looking up along this mountain road. Where the white clouds float, there are several stone houses with walls made of stone. The "people" here take care of the "stone path" in the previous sentence. This mountain road is the passage for those families, right? This organically links the two kinds of scenery. There are white clouds around, which means the mountain is very high. The poet used the technique of breaking through clouds and mountains, so that these white clouds covered the reader's sight, but left room for imagination: there must be another kind of scenery besides white clouds, right?
The poet is only describing these scenery objectively. Although the word "cold" is used, the following words such as "late" and "frost" are just sorted out, which does not show the poet's emotional tendency. After all, it is only to prepare for the following description-to outline the environment where Fenglin is located.
"Stop and sit late in the maple forest" is different, and this tendency is very obvious and strong. Mountain roads, white clouds and others did not impress the poet, but the evening scenery of Fenglin surprised him. In order to stop and enjoy the scenery of this mountain forest, I don't care to continue driving. The scenery written in the first two sentences is already beautiful, but the poet loves the maple forest. Through the background, it paved the way for describing the maple forest. When it is ready, it will come naturally, which leads to the fourth sentence and points out the reasons for loving the maple forest.
"Frosty leaves are redder than flowers in February" complements the third sentence, and a beautiful view of maple forest in late autumn is displayed in front of us. The poet was pleasantly surprised to find that under the sunset glow, the maple leaves were about to drip and the forest was dyed. It is really full of mountains and clouds, just like bright rosy clouds. More fiery than the spring flowers in February in Jiangnan! What is commendable is that the poet saw the vitality of autumn as spring through this piece of red, which made Lin Qiu present a warm and vibrant scene.
Unlike ordinary feudal literati, this poet did not sigh sadly when autumn came. He praised the beauty of autumn in nature, embodied the spirit of being bold and uplifting, and showed the poet's talent and insight with a wave of his pen. This is an autumn hymn.
The fourth sentence is the center of the whole poem, written by the poet with strong colors and coherent brushwork. Not only did the sparse scenery in the first two lines set off gorgeous autumn colors, but even the seemingly lyrical narrative of "stopping to sit in the maple grove late" actually played a role in setting off the scenery: the poet who stopped to watch, Tao Ran drunk, became a part of the scenery, and only with this scene did autumn colors become more charming. After a rewriting, it came to an abrupt end, and it seemed melodious and memorable.
