Looking at the sea tide? Liu Yong
The southeast shape is victorious, and the three Wu cities are there. Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times, with willow-painted bridges and wind curtains. There are hundreds of thousands of homes here and there, clouds and trees wrap around the dike and sand, raging waves roll up frost and snow, and the sky is boundless. The city is lined with pearls, the households are full of luxury goods, and the luxury is high.
The lakes overlap Qingjia. There are osmanthus seeds in three autumns and lotus flowers in ten miles. The Qiang pipe clears the sky, the watermelon song fills the night, and the old lotus babies play and fish. Thousands of horses and tall teeth. Get drunk, listen to flutes and drums, sing and enjoy the haze. There will be good times in the future, go back to Fengchi to boast.
Poems and songs are not separated, so we always talk about poetry. Since the beginning of the Book of Songs, poetry has been composed in conjunction with music. The styles of the fifteen countries in the Book of Songs are composed with the music of the fifteen villages, so they have the characteristics of each country. The Book of Songs is the source of poetry, which lays the rules and foundation for ancient poetry. Ci first emerged in the Tang Dynasty and was a new style that was filled in with Yan Le. By the Song Dynasty, the Song people had developed the literary style of Ci to the extreme. Let’s look at Liu Yong’s words.
Liu Yong's poem makes extensive use of the "Fu" technique in the Book of Songs, that is, narrative. This word is like laying out pen and ink on a white paper, with thick ink and heavy colors, directly describing the grand scene of West Lake in Hangzhou.
The southeast is prosperous and is the capital of Sanwu. Qiantang has been very prosperous since ancient times. You can see smoke-like willow trees and picturesque bridges. There are scattered pavilions and green curtains blown by the wind. There are hundreds of thousands of homes here and there. Towering trees surround the sand embankment, and the turbulent scenery The waves are rolling with white spray, and the Qiantang River stretches as far as the eye can see. There are a dazzling array of products on display in the shops, and every house is covered with gorgeous cloth, vying for luxury.
The lake and the mountains are beautiful, the sweet-scented osmanthus in September is fragrant, and the lake is filled with lotus flowers. Under the sun, the melodious sound of the Qiang flute and the singing of water chestnuts rippled on the lake at night, and the laughter of the old man fishing and the girl picking water chestnuts could be heard. Thousands of cavalrymen hugged the high flag, listened to the sound of flutes and gongs and drums in their drunkenness, and sang about the vast colorful clouds. He would paint the beautiful scenery one day and praise others in the court when he returned to Beijing.
The beautiful scenery of the West Lake is vivid in this short word. The grand tide of the Qiantang River has traveled through thousands of years, spreading out in front of today's people like a famous landscape painting.
Liu Yong's poems are good at laying out narratives, using the method of line drawing to blend emotions into the scenery. It shows the prosperous scene of Hangzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, which makes people fascinated. His lyrics are based on common slang and have been sung by singing girls, so that "anyone who has a well to drink from can sing Liu Yong's lyrics". Legend has it that when Jin Zhuliang saw the sentence "Sanqiu osmanthus, ten miles of lotus" in Liu Yong's poem, he started to invade the Northern Song Dynasty from the south.
Ancient Chinese poetry pays attention to the simplicity of the words and the far-reaching purpose. It uses concise sentences to show the infinite artistic conception, so that it will still be vital after thousands of years. This is why we can still feel the charm of its poetry when we read it today. .
