[Author] anonymous? [Dynasty] Yuan Dynasty
When the boat crossed the stream, the water in front of the door was as clear as jade. Castle peak cuts off the red dust road, and white clouds are everywhere. I said I couldn't find my brother with you, but I couldn't find my brother, but it turned out that the Nong family lived near Nautilus Island.
label: appreciation of the fisherman's "Daodaoling Crossing the Creek Trail Boat"
This song is written by a scholar in style. The last sentence is written by Bai Ben's Parrot Qu Nong's Parrot Island, which is also written by "illiterate fisherman" (Bai Ben Qu Yu). According to Yuan Feng Zizhen's Preface to Parrot Songs, Bai Qu was well-known at that time, "There is a Beijing Lingfu Royal Garden Show, and ... I hate those who can't continue this song", so Feng Zizhen boasted more than 1 Bai Qu, which shows the great influence of Bai Ben Qu. As soon as Bai Ben's song came out, its original name was "black paint crossbow" and it was renamed "parrot song" because its first sentence had "parrot island", and parrot island changed from the original specific place name to the name of the fisherman's residence. Therefore, the "Nong" in this song "Nong's family lives near Parrot Island" is probably a "fisherman". The artistic conception written in this song is also directly influenced by Bai Qu.
But the structure of this song is quite different from that of Bai Qu. First, it used many confusing words to describe a seemingly uninhabited and hubbub-free paradise. "A boat crosses the path by the stream, and the water in front of it is as clear as jade", an unknown stream, with clear and transparent water flowing quietly; Boating across the shore and walking along a winding path, a small house is leisurely visible. There is a faint sense of fascination here. He only described the quiet and quiet, elegant and beautiful external environment of the hut; The poet does not know where it is, whether it is the rural wilderness of Wei Yingwu's at chuzhou on the western stream, or the suburban flower village of Wang Anshi's poem, it is difficult for readers to know its details. In the following two sentences, the poet leads the reader into a more fascinating realm: "The green hills cut off the red dust road, and the white clouds are everywhere." The green hills and white clouds are secluded and ethereal, which reminds people of the boy's answer in Jia Dao's "No Visitor meets a hermit", "but toward which corner of the mountain, how can I tell, through all these clouds?." It makes people look forward to it, and there is no sense of disappointment. The poet seems to know that the reader will feel this way, so he repeats the chorus with two sentences that are quite smug and arrogant, but not without banter and ridicule, and then pushes the reader to the extreme state of confusion and trance, which makes people feel sorry for the mundane, and the mysterious celestial world can only be imagined. If the whole song ends here, it can be called "misty poetry", and the taste of "outside the image" can make people think a lot. However, after "beyond the image", ancient poetry must "get in the ring", and the sentence "But it turned out that the Nong family lived on the side of Parrot Island" is the eye of the whole song to reveal its "ring". The owner of the hut, who has been hidden in the song without showing his face, suddenly came out, and the celestial beings, the "fisherman" residence also. There is a saying that "the realm is all out": the extremely clear world composed of green mountains and white clouds, flowing water in front of the door and canoe paths is not a fairyland outside the world of mortals, nor is it a real landscape. It is a sanctuary in the mind of the fisherman and the materialization of the ideal spiritual world of the hermit.
The image of "fisherman" is hardly a real fisherman in China's ancient literary works. Since the birth of a fisherman in The Fisherman of Chu Ci, who was "awake all over the world and drunk alone" and didn't struggle with the secular world, his "children and grandchildren" have actually become a symbol of personality and spirit without seeking fame and wealth. The chant of "fisherman" has become a unique branch of the ancient "hermit" song. One of Wang Wei's "hermit poems" can be regarded as its core theme: "Always cherish the youth, look back on the white clouds. God is superior to things, and it is a name and an official. " The ballad of "Fisherman" is loved by literati in past dynasties, especially in Yuan Dynasty, in order to see its elegance. Frustrated people express their dissatisfaction or disappointment with reality through twists and turns, and at the same time melt their inner world into the "fisherman's spirit" to forget the troubles of real life and seek psychological balance in the "transcendental and refined" spiritual purification. Bai Ben's "Parrot Song" is famous for a while, except that it uses the "fish model" to eliminate the sound and rhyme, and the traditional motif "fisherman" has the unique charm of "spiritual beauty" in the minds of scholars, which is the most fundamental reason. And this song is not afraid to have a masterpiece first, but to create it again, and it also has such charm calling.
However, if this song had no artistic charm of its own, I'm afraid it would have been forgotten for a long time. In the songs of "Fisherman" in the past dynasties, it is an image captured by many people that it is noble and refined with green hills and white clouds, and free and easy with canoes and flowing water. The white song is like this, and so is this song. However, Bai Qu begins the whole article with "Nong's family lives near Yingzhou, and he is an illiterate fisherman", which makes people suddenly enter the established spiritual realm of the traditional fisherman, and then combines images to visualize the spiritual world it expresses, and the conclusion "I have wronged God in the past, and even arranged my place" echoes it from a distance, making the whole song quite bright and unrestrained. This song is first vaguely looped, and its surroundings are created first, which makes people unpredictable and produces a strong sense of inquiry. At the end of the sentence, it refers to the "fisherman" by the well-known "Nautilus Island" at that time, pointing out the core of meaning, which makes people relive and chew the whole song. It has both implicit interest and clear and fluent style. Although it is roughly the same as the image taken by Bai Qu, its structure is unique. On closer inspection, this song "Boat Crossing by the Creek" and the white song "A boat with a leaf in the waves", "Castle Peak cuts off the road of red dust" and the white song "There are mountains everywhere when you feel coming" are the same in the sentence, but they are not interchangeable with each other according to the meaning and mood of their songs, rather than adding or subtracting their words. Therefore, although influenced and enlightened by Bai Qu, it is his own creation. In addition, the author chose Daodaoling without rhyme, except for Chu and Zhu, which are the original rhymes of Bai Qu, Du, Yu and Lu are all familiar and rhyming, which not only inherits the characteristics of "dangerous rhyme" of Bai Qu, but also has its own ingenuity, which is probably that this song is not the first song, but also belongs to an anonymous one.
