Beibei Xinghua
A vicious spring around the flower body,
The flower shadows are enchanting, each accounting for spring scenery.
Even if it is blown into snow by the east wind,
It's better than grinding Nanmo to dust.
It is said that this poem was written by Wang after he retired to Jiangning in his later years, which is a portrayal of his sad mood in his later years.
Poetry is divided into two layers. The first two sentences are the first layer, writing enchanting and handsome apricot flowers, mainly writing their shapes, paving the way for the gods who wrote them in the last two sentences. At this time, the poet has been ups and downs, and finally lived in Jiangning. In this poem, the poet described two kinds of "apricot flowers" to the readers. One is the apricot flower that went through all kinds of hardships in Nanmo and was finally ground into dust. One is that the apricot blossoms in the spring breeze are blown like snow. Two kinds of apricot flowers make two kinds of life. But the opposition between "Zongbei" and "Juesheng" shows us the poet's choice. There is also an interesting contrast: the contrast between "Nanwu" and "Beipi". Nanmo is lively, and the north is empty. Perhaps the quiet Beipi is a secluded place far away from the hustle and bustle of the floating world, then "Nanmo" is a prosperous place with both fame and fortune. Peach and apricot have been called the same class since ancient times, but compared with the brilliance and lightness of peach, apricot flowers are bright and unconventional. This poem is about apricot flowers beside the water, which is even more charming and unique.
Write a tree in the first sentence. The word "left and right" shows the treasure, care and nourishment of "spring water" to "flower body", which is affectionate and soft, and highlights the quiet environment for the growth of apricot flowers.
Write flowers in the second sentence. The trees are full of flowers, enchanting and beautiful; The reflection in the water is equally charming and vivid. The real person in the tree and the reflection in the water complement each other. Xu Yi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said: "Gong Jing (Wang Anshi) loves watching shadows in the water, which is not bad." The reflection of the flower tree in the clear spring water adds a clear and quiet beauty to the original beauty. In his later years, Wang Anshi lived in seclusion in the mountains, complacent and indifferent. He especially likes to see the reflection in the water, which reflects his pursuit of purity and tranquility in this indifferent state of mind.
Bloom's flowering is a biological necessity. That is, blowing air and falling on the water; Still turned to dust, trampled by others, and fallen flowers have different places to go. The "northern apricot blossom" here obviously belongs to the former. From this, the poet gave birth to feelings, made a statement on behalf of flowers, and made a choice in a decisive tone: "making snow" and never "turning into dust". The apricot blossom here has become a symbol of personality. Chen Yan, a A Qing dynasty man, once said, "The last second language is just my own identity." Wang Anshi is resolute and stubborn, and the last two sentences reflect his ambition and character in this respect. The genius of the first sentence is that it is written not only from apricot blossom itself, but also from "an evil spring", and the two are firmly linked together with a "circle". A vicious spring itself gives people room for imagination. "Vicious" is a pool. In spring, the ice has just melted, and there is no moss and other things in the water, and all kinds of dirt have not fallen, so a pool of spring water is clear and clean, which is likely to attract people with clean temperament like the ink man. A vicious spring is the growth of this apricot flower. In particular, the author used an imaginative word "Rao" to clarify that "Pei" is crooked, while apricot flowers grow on a sharp corner of a earthen bag that goes deep into "Pei". Wang Anshi really likes to use the word "around" to describe the mountain-shaped water potential, such as "on the river", "There is no way around the green hills, and suddenly I see Qian Fan looming", such as "the wall of teachers singing in Shuhu Lake" (the first part), "One water protects the fields and two mountains push the door to send green", such as "Zhongshan is a thing" and "the stream silently surrounds the bamboo stream". But I don't agree with some experts that the word' around' is written as a dependent blind date. Because the word "wai" here only shows that the shapes of the two are coherent, and the word "wai" in "protecting the field with one water" is "protecting the field". But even if it is only such a relaxed "spring water", such a relaxed "detour" completely renders the beauty of apricot flowers. With such an easy "spring water" and such an easy "winding", this apricot flower has characteristics that other apricot flowers do not have. This kind of beauty is the beauty of harmony between the flower and the environment, and the beauty of the subject and the beauty of the situation complement each other: with this beautiful spring water, it shows the exquisiteness, beauty and beauty of this apricot flower; Under the reflection of this apricot flower, the bright and elegant spring water is revealed.
Another prominent feature of this sentence is simply ignored, that is, the word "fancy". Why is it "flower body" instead of "apricot flower" or "flower tree"? The word "flower body" can remind people that the tree is full of withered apricot flowers, showing the lush apricot flowers and the vigorous vitality of apricot trees. But the word "apricot blossom" does not mean the flower of apricot tree or the apricot tree itself.
This sentence also paved the way for the following sentence. Just because there are flowers and water here, there are flowers and shadows below.
The second sentence, "Flower shadows are enchanting, each occupying the spring scenery", describes the beauty of apricot flowers from the perfect picture composed of two divergent objects, apricot flowers and their reflections in the water. An enchanting and anthropomorphic apricot flower has been dumped, but I didn't expect Wang to offer that vicious spring water again, and it was on the first floor. The spring water here is no longer a foil, because the shadow of apricot flowers in the water has become a pair of beautiful girls and sisters juxtaposed with the apricot flowers on the shore, enchanting in the mountains and rivers of nature. The virtual flowers in the water and the real flowers on the shore set each other off, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. However, the ego has completely become the background of the picture. You see, the earth is still bleak, and only the shape and shadow of this apricot blossom are in full bloom between heaven and earth, which shows the arrival of spring and its beauty. Among them, the word "war" has great connotation. Wang said that "life is not enough to be feared, people's words are not enough to be kind, and the laws of their ancestors are not enough to be kept." Are selfless and fearless. If there is only one, it will decorate the spring scenery of the world, without understanding the contempt of others and the coldness of the world, and trust will occupy the spring scenery of the world. This apricot flower "Zhan" contains the characters after the flower. Wang can be said to have used this vicious spring to the extreme, just like a superb photographer.
