Ji Zhang
Clusters of Nanshan on the circus stage,
Drinking songs on the hillside.
Pedestrians get on the bus when they are drunk.
Go back to the waiter
The sky is far away,
Traveling homeless.
May you leave your name everywhere,
We knew you'd leave here.
Appreciation of Zhang Ji's poems
"Those who are ecstatic, only don't." Wandering at parting, holding hands and seeing off constitute the basic artistic conception of farewell poems. It is not easy to play a unique farewell song, and Zhang Ji's farewell song is a good one.
"There are clusters of Nanshan in the circus, and the mountains are drinking songs." The horse stage in Tongshan County, Jiangsu Province is said to be Xiang Yu's horse stage. In the Southern Dynasties, Liu Yu once drank wine and wrote poems at such a grand banquet, which made him famous and made great achievements. Point out the reason and place first: the circus south sends friends away. It seems that the meaning is dull, but it contains profound meaning. The word "circus stage" is hard to come by and easy to write. Looking back at that year, the overlord destroyed Qin, which can be described as all-powerful; Emperor Wu of song cut Hu and swallowed mountains and rivers. Now the old traces are still there. Where are the former people? Standing next to the historic site, I feel the eternity of the universe and the shortness of life. And the hurried life, gathering less and leaving more, is becoming more and more difficult for love. Farewell is melancholy, especially beside historic sites. Poetry adds a layer of sadness to farewell through scenic spots. "Pedestrians who get on the bus when they are drunk will respect the servants at the table." When pedestrians are drunk, the host of the farewell dinner will naturally not be awake. The poet put pen to paper on the opposite side. He was intoxicated in the dark and his words were subtle.
The next sentence is that when toasting a servant, you can save enough money to write a drunken state. Between master and servant, the hierarchy is strict. It is impossible for master and servant to sit at the same table equally, and it is even more impossible for master and servant to persuade servants to drink. Now that things are not normal, you can see that the master is drunk. But drunkenness is only a superficial phenomenon. The purpose of seeking drunkenness is to enrich sadness and there is no way to get rid of it. This is the only way to avoid getting drunk. The poet writes a normal mood with abnormal behavior, with novel angle and fantastic shape. It is similar to Wang Weizhi's Lonely Guest and Servant (Stay in Zhengzhou).
The first half has been done, and the second half has turned to lyricism. "The sky is high and the road is far, and there is no fixed place to live." Pedestrians are drifting away, and car owners are watching. Anticipate the journey after bidding farewell to the present and choose new materials. The poet lamented that his friends drifted alone, their whereabouts were hard to stop, and they did not have the warmth of returning home. Only when they ran aground did their hardships become more and more obvious. The next word "Fu", which means "Gai", emphasizes the narrow space, shows depressed emotions, conforms to the real scene in front of us, and the language is delicate but muddled. That sentence at the end of the article is even more surprising. "May you leave your name everywhere, and one day you will know that you will go from here." Topic, Tang customs, tourism, every feeling, regardless of the wild temple village shop, broken wall, instant poetry topic. Generally, farewell poems often end with a scene and stop at standing and staring at others. For example, in Li Bai's Send Meng Haoran to the Yellow Crane Tower in Yangzhou, the sail is far away, only the Yangtze River flows, and in Send Wutianzhuang to Bai Xuege, it disappears at the corner of the pass, leaving only hoofprint. Zhang Ji broke through the barrier, not only writing about his separation at that time, but also writing about his retrospection and memories after separation. From now to the future, the length of time has been carefully extended, denying that "I will not be sad for a long time on earth" to highlight the sincerity and depth of friendship, which is one of them. It is sad that pedestrians are running around on the road and homeless. For Zhang Ji, it is even sadder to pursue the championship another day. The poet put pen to paper on both sides, combined others with me, and integrated the sadness given to others into his own sadness. I don't hate leaving sorrow, but it suddenly becomes stronger. The whole poem strives to avoid stereotypes and bring forth the new, which embodies its profound thoughts and refined language. Shen Deqian, a poet in A Qing, commented on this poem: "I have sent a poem to a distant place before, but this meaning has never been written." This comment points out the uniqueness of this poem.
