Introduction to Poetry and Night Work
Gaoshi
The cold light of the hotel stays awake alone, why does the guest's heart become sad?
My hometown is thinking thousands of miles tonight, and it is another year of the Ming Dynasty.
Author introduced (70 1-765), Han nationality. Poets in Tang Dynasty. The word Dafu and Zhongwu was born in Cangzhou (now Jingxian County, Hebei Province) and lived in Song Dynasty (now Shangqiu, Henan Province). Historical Records of Gaochang and Miracle as a Mirror of Zhongxing have been handed down from generation to generation. In the first year of Yongtai (765), he died at the age of 64, and was given the title of Shangshu, posthumous title.
Gao Shi was a famous frontier poet in Tang Dynasty, and was also called "Gao Cen" with Cen Can. The brushwork is vigorous and vigorous, full of the unique spirit of the times in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. I am lonely and poor, I love to make friends, I have the style of a ranger, and I have made contributions to my career. In his early years, he traveled to Chang 'an, and later to Jimen and Lulong, seeking ways to enter the body, all of which failed. Before and after this, he lived in the Song Dynasty and made friends with Li Bai and Du Fu. His poems are straightforward and not gorgeous, with seven-character songs as the most distinctive, and he writes more about frontier life.
In the eighth year of Tianbao (749), he was recommended by Zhang Jiugao, the prefect of Suiyang, and was named Qiu Wei. In the eleventh year, he went to Chang 'an again because he couldn't bear to "lash Li Shu" and didn't want to "welcome officials". The following year, he entered the door of Ge Shuhan, the envoy of Longyou and Hexi, and served as the secretary in charge.
After the Anshi Rebellion, he successively served as our ambassadors to Huainan, Pengzhou, Zhou Shu and Jiannan, and was appointed as the left minister. The world calls it "high feldspar". Old Tang book? Gao Shi said: "The Tang Dynasty has arrived, and poets are suitable."
On New Year's Eve, the traditional custom is that families get together. "When you stay awake, you call it guarding the age" (Local Customs). The title of the poem Except Night Shift should arouse people's good memories and imagination of this traditional festival. However, in this poem, there is another scene except night.
The beginning of the poem is the word "hotel", which seems dull, but it can not be ignored, and the feelings of the whole poem are born from this. It was New Year's Eve, and the poet looked at the bright lights outside and gathered together, while he was far away from his family and lived in a guest house. In contrast, I don't feel anything touched at the scene. Even the same light and hot lamp in front of me has become "cold". The word "cold lamp" renders the hotel deserted and the poet's inner sadness. It's hard to fall asleep when the cold light only has a shadow, let alone on New Year's Eve! The "lonely sleeper" will naturally think of the happy scene of family reunion and growing old together, which is even more unbearable. Therefore, this sentence seems to write about the future and the present, but it is tied from the opposite side everywhere, depicting a lonely and cold artistic conception. The second sentence, "Why does the guest's heart turn to sadness", is a transfer sentence, which expresses the thoughts and feelings more clearly in the form of questions, thus forcing the following. "Guest" refers to itself, so it is called "guest" because it is among guests. What makes the poet "turn sad"? Except at night, of course. At night, the thick atmosphere of the New Year's Eve dinner surrounded itself in a guest house with cold lights and only shadows, and the feeling of loneliness and sadness came to mind.
After a sentence or two, it seems that the poet is about to pour out his feelings at the moment, but he has abandoned himself and wrote from the opposite side: "Tonight's hometown is full of thoughts." "Hometown" refers to relatives in my hometown: "Thousands of miles" refers to myself thousands of miles away. That means, on this New Year's Eve, my relatives in my hometown must be thinking about me thousands of miles away, thinking about where I left tonight, thinking about how I spent the night alone ... In fact, this is also a manifestation of "the hometown of thousands of miles". "Another year in Frost Temple" and "Tonight" are New Year's Eve, so tomorrow is another year. From the old year to the new year, this endless yearning will add new white hair to the frost temples. Shen Deqian said, "It is more meaningful to be a relative in my hometown and think of strangers thousands of miles away." . The reason why Tang poetry is more meaningful is that the poet skillfully uses "antithesis" to express his deep affection more elegantly. This is also a common expression in classical poetry, such as Du Fu's Moonlit Night: "Tonight is the moon watching alone in her room window." What is written in the poem is that the wife misses her husband, which is actually a reflection of the poet's own feelings.
Hu Yinglin thought the quatrains should be used to the end. Such as ..... Gundam's hometown thinks a thousand miles tonight, and the Ming Dynasty is another year'. Adding a word may not be possible "("Poetry "). Inside "(Volume 6). The so-called "exhaustion of meaning" probably refers to poetic integrity; The so-called "not allowed to add a word" is to refine the language. "Tonight is a thousand miles away, tomorrow is another year", which is a concentrated expression of the long, deep and bitter thoughts of both sides on New Year's Eve, fully showing the theme of the poem. Therefore, as far as its highly generalized and refined characteristics are concerned, it can be said that it has received the artistic effect of "exhaustion of meaning" and "no words".
