The artistic conception of Tianjingsha Qiu Si: the images of withered vines, old trees and faint crows show the bleak scene and express the lonely, melancholy and desolate mood of wandering wanderers.
Tianjingsha Qiu Si is a poem written by Ma Zhiyuan, a writer in Yuan Dynasty.
Original text:
Old vines are faint crows, small bridges are flowing, and old roads are thin horses. When the sun sets, heartbroken people are at the end of the world.
Translation:
The withered vines are wrapped around the old trees, and the branches are inhabited by crows returning to their nests at dusk. Under the small bridge, there are several families by the running water. On the ancient and desolate road, the autumn wind is bleak, and a tired thin horse is carrying a wanderer. The sun is setting slowly, and the extremely sad traveler is still wandering at the end of the world.
This poem is very short, and there are only five sentences and twenty-eight words in a poem. There is no word "autumn" in the whole poem, but it depicts a bleak and moving picture of the suburbs in autumn, which accurately conveys the miserable mood of travelers. This successful song, known as the father of Qiu Si, embodies the artistic features of China's classical poems in many ways.
He has been selected into four ancient poems in the fourth lesson of Chinese in grade seven, three Chinese books in grade eight and sixteen Chinese books in grade eight.
