"There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below."
This proverb began to form and spread at least in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Suzhou at this time has been called a paradise on earth. Investigate its connotation, it must be beautiful scenery. The so-called warm mountains and warm water are like beautiful pavilions in famous gardens.
Suzhou is really a very beautiful ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the land of plenty in the south of the Yangtze River. Suzhou's ancient beauty and quiet beauty have been admired by many literati since ancient times. However, in my heart, what I will never forget is the rainy lane in Suzhou. It's really meaningful and memorable.
If it is spring in March, the hazy drizzle will turn this city into a dreamy and poetic misty and rainy town-the river is hazy and the alleys are deep; Blue tile white wall, painted door copper ring; The trees are green and the flowers are bright. The city is the mystery of the alley, and the city is a secluded place in the distant mountains. Especially the alley near the water is more amorous feelings in the rain. Those stone roads, stone roads, lead people to the ordinary, to the secular, to the distant, to the quiet and elegant. Dongpo Lane, Xishi Lane, Anbaili Lane, Haitang Lane, Guanyin Lane, Baby Lane, Eunuch Lane ... Those alleys, no matter how long; Beautiful or not; Whether famous or not, it will show an inexhaustible amorous feelings, which will also make people feel warm and elegant.
Rainy alleys are fascinating, and the spirit of this city is even more obvious: the rain drenches stones and slates, making them clean, cool and friendly. Those slender girls will hold all kinds of nylon umbrellas, dance graceful posture, and wander in the deep and tortuous alleys. Beautiful and thin silk sleeves slipped quietly with the wind and human movements, revealing white and delicate arms, which were blown by the wet wind. Suddenly, I felt a sense of pleasure in my heart, and my beautiful and feminine face rose slightly, showing an inexhaustible pride and charm.
The wind is filar silk, the rain is filar silk, and the feeling is filar silk.
In the early morning, the alley will be very quiet. In this beautiful silence, there will be a euphemistic cry of the flower girl: "Gardenia! -White orchids! -"voice echoed in the quiet alley, especially nice. So in that quiet and elegant courtyard, under the small window by the river, there will be girls or young women daydreaming: if you wear a gardenia or a white orchid on your sideburns and skirts, how wonderful it would be to see the beauty of this flower and smell its fragrance!
There are also bright roses, swaying in flower girl's flower basket, the stamens are in the sky, as if they are still on the branches, and the petals are still stained with crystal beads of rain. It sends out the fragrance of roses, floating out of the basket, into the alley, into the small stone bridge and onto the river.
At night, in that deep alley, camel shoulders selling wonton and red bean porridge along the street give this town a different flavor. Clever burden, exquisite stove and bright orange fire appeared in the alley with less bright lights, which made the alley have a soul. In the dead of night, the crisp sound of the bangzi spread in the middle of the night and in the thick rain and fog. Even in the middle of the night, the alleys become quieter, which still makes people feel that the city is still beating the melody of life peacefully.
Of course, there is Suzhou Pingtan, which is very nice. This is probably the simplest and most elegant folk art in China. It is simple from beginning to end, simple from beginning to end, elegant from beginning to end. This is a lively, crisp and euphemistic rap in Wu dialect, which gives people a proper, measured and controlled emotional flow. Sadness, anger, sadness and joy are quietly dissolved in the intermittent rain, and the melody floats gracefully in the misty rain lane at night. ...
The second article
Dai Wangshu's poetry creation is also deeply influenced by the artistic nutrition of classical poetry. In Rain Lane, the poet created a symbolic lyrical image, a girl with a lilac-like sad heart. This is obviously inspired by some works in ancient poetry. It is a traditional expression in ancient Chinese poetry to use lilac knots, that is, lilac buds, to symbolize people's worries. For example, there is a poem in Li Shangyin's "Gifts for Generations" that says "bananas don't show lilac knots, but they are worried about the spring breeze in the same direction". Li Jing in the Southern Tang Dynasty even associated lilac knots with melancholy in the rain. His "Huanxisha":
Roll up pearls to make curtains and hang hooks. In the tall building, I look like before, and my depression is still locked. The fallen flower in the wind is so haggard, who is its owner? Think long term!
The messenger didn't bring news to the pedestrians far away. The lilacs in the rain reminded me of sadness. I looked back at the Three Gorges at dusk and saw the river falling from the sky.
In this poem, the lilac knot in the rain is used as a symbol of people's sadness. Obviously, Dai Wangshu absorbed the artistic conception and methods of describing sadness from these poems and applied them to form the artistic conception and imagination of Rain Lane. This kind of absorption and reference is obvious. However, can we say that the artistic conception and image of the rainy lane are the expansion and dilution of the famous Tang poem "Lilacs are sad in the rain" in the modern vernacular version? I thought I couldn't see it that way. When the poet conceived the artistic conception and image of Rain Lane, he not only absorbed the juice of his predecessors, but also created his own.
First, the ancients used the lilac knot itself as a symbol of sadness in poetry. Imagine a girl as sad as a lilac in a rainy lane. She has lilac-like sadness and lilac-like beauty and fragrance. In this way, from a simple metaphor of sadness to expressing a beautiful ideal with sadness. This new image contains the author's pursuit of beauty. It contains the pain of disillusionment of the author's beautiful ideal.
Secondly, the poet used vivid modern language in Rain Lane to describe the image of a Dingxi girl who died suddenly in the rain, which is full of old poetic meaning with the old classical poems and other works created by the poet in his early days, showing more new era breath. "Lilacs are sad in the rain", and nothing can arouse people's hope and disillusionment more than "girls as sad as lilacs". This image is a rare creation in expressing the sorrow of the times.
Thirdly, in ancient poems, the lilac knot in the rain entrusted the poet's feelings about real life scenes. The lilac-like girl image floating in the rain in Rain Lane brings more elements of the poet's imagination. It is not only a possible scene in life, but also the crystallization of the writer's artistic imagination, and an artistic real image produced by the combination of truth and imagination. Dai Wangshu said: "Poetry comes from reality through imagination, not only from reality, but also from imagination." We say that the artistic conception of Rain Lane is a reference and transcendence of classical poetry, mainly because it was created by the poet according to his own life experience and imagination. It is the product of artistic imagination, more beautiful than life.
Rain Lane was first praised by people, and an important aspect is its beautiful syllables. Ye Shengtao praised this poem as "opening a new era for the syllables of new poetry". Although he was somewhat praised, he was insightful when he first saw the beautiful syllables of this poem. Rain Lane consists of seven poems. The first section and the last section are exactly the same except that "meet" is changed to "float". In this way, the ending is repeated, and the same theme appears repeatedly in the poem, which strengthens the musical sense of the whole poem and also increases the expressive force of the poet's hesitation and disillusionment. There are six lines in each section of the whole poem, and the number of words in each line is different and uneven, and the rhyme is generally repeated in the lines not far apart. Bet two or three times per quarter, and there is no rhyme change from beginning to end. The whole poem is very short, and some short sentences also cut off the connection between words. However, some of the same words appear many times in rhyme, such as "Rain Lane", "Girl", "Fragrance", "Melancholy" and "Longing", which intentionally make a sound repeat in people's hearing. This creates a resounding melody and a smooth rhythm. It reads like a gentle and considerate serenade. A lonely and painful recitation melody echoed repeatedly in the whole song, haunting people.
In order to strengthen the musicality of the whole poem, the poet also absorbed some skills from foreign poems and made the same words meet alternately in the same poem. The repetition and repetition of this language, like the repetition of intertwined lyric phrases, sounds pleasant and harmonious, adding more lyrical color to the poem. When romantic free poetry and "crescent school" tofu dry wind prevailed, Dai Wangshu published "Beautiful Rain Lane", which opened up a new world of musical expression of new poetry.
Dai Wangshu's pursuit of the musicality of new poetry reached its peak and end in Rain Lane. From then on, he began to "courageously resist what he called' the musical composition at the end of poetry'" and (Du) to pursue the inner emotional rhythm of poetry. His other famous poem My Memory is a new milestone in this pursuit. Dai Wangshu's transformation reflects his new aesthetic viewpoint and artistic pursuit, but it can't deny the significance of Rain Lane's attempt at the musical beauty of new poetry. Preference is the companion of art appreciation. This poem "Rain Lane" is a shining pearl in the new poem, and it is worth reading!
Dai Wangshu's poems have won the charm of graceful and restrained poetic style in China's classical poems, and influenced by the French symbolism poetry school, so his early poems generally show the characteristics of loneliness, melancholy and depression. This is the case in the rainy lane. This poem is about a scene in an alley in the south of the Yangtze River during the rainy season. In the drizzle, "I" walked alone in a long remote alley with a lonely and melancholy mood and a faint hope.
