The door is empty, and the sky is blue and the stars are near.
The road is extremely high, overlooking the green hills and low islands.
Who wrote this couplet? I searched Nanyue, Hengshan, Selected Contemporary Poems of Nanyue, Hengshan Ancient and Modern Poems, etc. , but failed to validate them. In his book On Nanyue Couplets, Mr. Zhou pointed out that Nanyue has 6 1 couplets, and * * * has 463 couplets. Only 30 authors' signatures have been handed down, and the rest can't prove the authors ... The couplets of Hengshan Nantianmen Archway are among them.
Someone made up this pair of couplets for Hu Ya's writing, which is sheer nonsense and irresponsible for writing.
Hu Xizhi did leave ink in Hengshan as a couplet, but the couplet he wrote in Hengshan archway was "Delicate to see the four wonders and five peaks in Gaoyu;" Civilization is called the Olympic area, two saints chanting and seven ancestors Dojo. "
Mr. Zhou has a wonderful comment on the couplets of the worse gate, which is recorded at the end of the article for everyone to enjoy.
The door is empty, and the sky is blue and the stars are near.
The road is extremely high, overlooking the green hills and low islands.
Blue sky: the sky. Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in Song of Eternal Sorrow: "Looking for the blue sky above, looking for the grave below, neither of them was found."
Cuiwei: Castle Peak, here refers to Castle Peak. Du Mu's "Climbing the Mountain of Nine Days": "Jianghan Du Yanying flies first and carries the pot with him."
The worse gate is the gate of the legendary Heavenly Palace. There is a memorial arch near the peak of Mount Hengshan called Nantianmen, which means Mount Hengshan is so high that it almost reaches the sky. Li Bai's poem "Send Chen Lang and Gentleman to Hengyang" says that "Hengshan is in the dark", which shows the majestic Hengshan. This couplet adopts the method of folding in half, comparing "the door is empty" with "the road is extremely high", "looking up at the blue sky and the stars near" with "overlooking the castle peak and low island". From the perspective of looking up and exaggeration, the first part of the couplet falsely describes the sublimity of the author's pen, and the worse gate has become the gateway to heaven, "flying on the ladder of Chihiro, flying step by step", where there is a feeling of being far away from the hubbub and detached, and looking at the sky seems to be able to pick stars with your hands. The second part is "Looking at the vast mountains and rivers, showing pictures at different levels", but the seventy-two peaks are like islands in the clouds, with very low and small peaks. Zheng Banqiao gave Gu's gift to Ri Tian. "Two or three stars fall on the chest, and the foot of 100,000 peaks is green." There are similarities in artistic conception related to this. This couplet is beautiful in antithesis and vigorous in brushwork, and adopts the methods of comparison, exaggeration and contrast, vividly showing the poetic and picturesque characteristics of the worse gate.
