Year: Tang Author: Du Fu Style: Four Unique Categories:
Four yellow maiden flowers thrive on the road covered, and thousands of flowers bow and the branches are low.
The butterflies in the flowers are dancing, and the soft yinger in freedom is just singing happily.
In the first year of Shangyuan (760), Du Fu lived in Xiguo Caotang, Chengdu. After the troubled times, he began to have a place to live, which made the poet feel gratified. In spring, he walked alone along the river, and his feelings were born with the scenery, which became seven poems. This is the sixth group of poems.
The first sentence points out that the place to look for flowers is on the path of "Huangsiniangjia". This sentence is written in a poem by a famous person, which has a strong interest in life and a folk song flavor. The second sentence "a thousand flowers" is the embodiment of the word "full" in the previous sentence. "The branches are very low", which depicts the flowers bending the branches heavily, and the scenery is lifelike. The words "pressure" and "low" are used accurately and vividly. In the third sentence, colorful butterflies on the flower branches wander around, and they "linger" because they love flowers, suggesting that the flowers are fragrant and fresh. The flowers are lovely, and the dancing of butterflies is also lovely, which inevitably makes people who walk "linger". But he may not stop, but move on, because the scenery is infinite and there are many beautiful scenery. "Always" is not an occasional sight. Using this word, the fun of spring is rendered. Just when it was pleasing to the eye, a string of beautiful songs by oriole happened to wake up the poet who was intoxicated with flowers. This is the artistic conception of the last sentence. The word "jiao" describes Yinger's soft voice. "Freedom" is not only an objective portrayal of Jiao Ying's posture, but also a pleasant and relaxing psychological feeling. The poem ends with Ying Ge's "Chen Wenjing", which is full of charm. Reading this quatrain, I seem to be walking on the road to "Huang Si's maiden" in the suburbs of Chengdu thousands of years ago, enjoying the infinite beauty endowed by spring with the poet.
This poem is about appreciating the scenery, which is common in the quatrains of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. However, it is rare to see such a poem with exquisite description and unusually beautiful colors. For example, "So people are at the peach blossom bank until the stream flows in front of the door" (Chang Jian's "Looking for Li Jiuzhuang in Three Days"), "Last night, the wind opened the peach well, and the moon was high in the front hall of Weiyang" (Wang Changling's "Spring Palace Song"), these scenes all appear "beautiful"; After Du Fu's Flowers Blooming, a Thousand Flowers, butterflies and songs were added, and the scenery was beautiful. This kind of writing is unprecedented.
Secondly, people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty paid great attention to the harmony of poetic tone. Their quatrains can often be strung together, so they are very harmonious. Du Fu's quatrains are not written for singing, but purely poetry, so there are often awkward sentences. According to the law, the sentence "flowers are pressing branches" in this poem should be flat. But this "contradiction" is by no means an arbitrary destruction of the melody, and the overlap of "letting a hundred flowers blossom" has a taste of beauty. Although the word "duo" of "Qianhua" and the word "four" in the same position in the previous sentence belong to the same tone, the rising tone and falling tone are different from each other, and the tone still changes. It's not that poets don't pay attention to the musical beauty of poetry. This is manifested in the use of disyllabic words, onomatopoeic words and reduplicated words in three or four sentences. "Liulian" and "Freedom" are disyllabic words, such as the connection between beads and melody. "Chen Wenjing" is an onomatopoeic word, which describes the voice of Jiao Ying and gives people an immersive auditory image. "Poetry" and "Chen Wenjing" are overlapping words, which make the upper and lower sentences antithetical, make the meaning stronger and more vivid, and better express the instant joy when the poet is infatuated with Hua Hudie and suddenly awakened by the sound of warblers. Except for the words "dance" and "warbler", these two sentences are all tongue-toothed sounds. The use of these series of tongue-toothed sounds creates a sense of language of soliloquy and vividly shows the viewer's feeling of being intoxicated and surprised by the beautiful scenery. The utility of sound is very helpful to the expression of emotions.
Syntactically, most of the poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty were naturally mixed, but Du Fu was different from them. For example, "antithesis" (later couplets) is the style of quatrains in the early Tang Dynasty, and there are few quatrains in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, because it is difficult to achieve a perfect ending. Du Fu, however, is hard to see, and such a poem couplet is both steady and memorable, which makes people feel that it is used properly: when it is pleasing to the eye, isn't it more fascinating to listen to Ying Ge's "Cha Cha"? Besides, according to customary grammar, these two sentences should be written like this: butterflies dance while playing, and Yinger crows freely. Putting "Linglian" and "Freedom" at the beginning of a sentence is not only for the needs of phonology, but also for emphasizing them semantically, making the meaning easier to understand and the syntax more novel and changeable.
This park is not worth visiting.
Year: Song Author: Ye Shaoweng genre: four-line category:
Perhaps my master was worried that my wooden shoes trampled his precious moss and tapped Chai Men lightly, but no one opened it for a long time.
But this spring spring, after all, can't be caged. Look, there is a pink apricot sticking out of the wall.
To annotate ...
[Note] (1) Not worth it: I have never met it. (2) It should be: probably. Teeth: the teeth of wooden shoes.
Take advantage of the fine weather in spring to make friends. Perhaps the owner of the garden cherishes Cangtai and is afraid that we will set foot on the shoe prints. I hit Chai Men gently for a long time. But it doesn't matter, the spring scenery in the garden can't be closed. The red apricots sticking out of the wall have already revealed abundant spring scenery.
[Brief analysis]
This little poem describes what the poet saw and felt when he visited the garden in spring, which is very vivid and interesting.
The first two sentences, "Pity the dog's teeth, seal the moss, and Chai Fei won't open for a long time", show that the author didn't meet his relatives and friends, and the garden door was closed, so he couldn't enjoy the spring flowers in the garden. However, it is very humorous, saying that it is probably because the garden owner cherishes the moss in the garden and is afraid that my fangs will leave traces of trampling on it, so Chai Fei has been delayed. The host is not at home, deliberately saying that the host intends to refuse the guests. This is to pave the way for the following poem. The last two sentences are more novel because of the concept of "pity for teeth and moss": although the owner selfishly closed the garden door and seemed to want to leave spring scenery alone in the garden, "spring scenery can't be closed all over the garden, and an apricot will come out of the wall." The latter two poems are vivid and have strange ideas. Both "spring scenery" and "red apricot" are anthropomorphic, which contain feelings and logic in the scenery, which can arouse many associations of readers and be inspired by philosophy: "spring scenery" can't be caged, and "red apricot" will inevitably "come out of the wall" to announce the coming of spring. Similarly, all new and beautiful things can't be stopped or imprisoned, and it will surely break through any bondage and flourish.
