The name of the poem written by the dead crow in the old tree is "The Clear Sand in the Sky·Autumn Thoughts".
Tianjingsha·Qiu Si is a Sanqu composed by Yuan opera writer Ma Zhiyuan. This song juxtaposes a variety of scenes to form a picture of an autumn suburban sunset, in which a wanderer riding a skinny horse appears on a desolate background. It reveals a sad mood and expresses the feeling of a wanderer wandering far away in the world. The sad and melancholy feeling of missing my hometown in autumn and being tired of wandering.
The syntax of this Xiaoling is unique. The first three sentences are all composed of noun phrases. Nine kinds of scenery are listed in one sentence, which is simple but meaningful. The whole song has only five sentences and twenty-eight characters. The language is extremely concise but the capacity is huge. The meaning is far-reaching, the structure is exquisite, and the rhythm is coherent. It is praised by later generations as the ancestor of Qiu Si.
Vernacular translation: The old trees are entangled with dead vines, and the crows return to their nests at dusk. The stream gurgled under the bridge, and the smoke from the houses beside the stream filled the air. Riding a thin horse in the rustling autumn wind, walking slowly on the desolate ancient road. As the sun sets, the extremely sad wanderer wanders to the ends of the earth.
Creative background: Ma Zhiyuan was keen on fame when he was young, but due to the high-pressure national policy implemented by the Yuan rulers, he never succeeded. He lived a wandering life almost all his life, which made him depressed and embarrassed. So while wandering alone on his journey, he wrote the song "Tian Jing Sha·Autumn Thoughts".
Appreciation of the work
Compared with these poems, this poem still has its own uniqueness in the juxtaposition of images: First, its images are all ordinary in nature and society. of things, their combination appears more natural. Although the conjunction is omitted, it does not make the reader feel too jumpy and is easier to understand.
The second is to use an adjective before each noun to modify it, which not only has a strong subjective emotional color, but also reduces the density of the image, thus creating a problem in the expression and rendering of emotion. A powerful convergence effect, a chord of imagery.
