Jiangnan Spring is the work of Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
the whole poem is as follows: thousands of miles of warblers sing green and reflect red, and the water village, mountain fruit and wine flag wind. The southern dynasties left behind more than 48 old temples, countless towers shrouded in the wind and cloud in the rain.
Literal meaning of the poem: In the vast south of the Yangtze River, there are singing and dancing everywhere, green trees and red flowers set each other off, and wine flags are fluttering everywhere in the foothills of waterside villages. Many ancient temples left over from the Southern Dynasties are now shrouded in this misty rain.
Appreciation of the whole poem:
This poem "Jiangnan Spring" has enjoyed a high reputation for thousands of years. The poem not only depicts the beautiful spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, but also reproduces the misty balcony scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, making the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River more magical and confusing. The charming Jiangnan, touched by the poet's brilliant pen, is even more exciting. The four sentences in this poem are all scenic words, with many images and scenery, including plants and animals, vivid and colorful, and the scenery is also far and near, with a combination of dynamic and static, each with its own characteristics. The whole poem depicts a vivid, colorful and verve picture of Jiangnan Spring with light words and extremely general language, presenting a profound and beautiful artistic conception and expressing a series of subtle and profound feelings, which has enjoyed a high reputation for thousands of years.
in the first sentence, "thousands of miles of warblers sing green and reflect red". At the beginning of the poem, the poet opened his eyes and imagined the whole land of Jiangnan from the spring scenery in front of him. Thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, everywhere singing and dancing, pink and green, a scene full of spring. In writing, the poet first used the technique of setting off, matching "red flowers" with "green leaves" and using the word "reflecting" to highlight the colorful scene of "Jiangnan Spring" from the perspective. At the same time, the poet also shows the lively scene of singing and dancing in spring in Jiangnan from the perspective of sound and hearing. The "a thousand miles" in the poem is wonderful and weighty, which not only expands the aesthetic realm of poetry in space, but also lays the foundation for the later description.
the second sentence is "the style of wine flags in Shuicun Mountain Country". "Mountain Guo" mountain city. Refers to the city built at the foot of the mountain. "Wine flag" refers to the cover hung outside the ancient hotel. This sentence means that in the villages near the water and the battlements near the mountains, there are wine flags fluttering in the wind everywhere. Here, the poet used the rhetoric of Li Jin to describe the objects that came into view-water village, mountain fruit and wine flag. From large to small, these images not only show a certain spatial position, but also highlight the unique architectural characteristics of Jiangnan, where "village" and "Guo" are surrounded by mountains and rivers. In particular, the word "wind" not only adds to the dynamic feeling of poetry, but also highlights the "wine flag" better, thus adding to the cultural connotation and humanistic atmosphere of poetry.
The third sentence "48 temples in the Southern Dynasties" refers to the four dynasties of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen after the Eastern Jin Dynasty and before the Sui Dynasty, all of which were based in Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), which is called the Southern Dynasties in history. "Four hundred and eighty temples" describes many Buddhist temples. Because at that time, Buddhism was very popular in the Southern Dynasties, and many temples were built. This means that the Southern Dynasties left over more than 48 ancient temples. Here, the poet turned around on the "water village, mountain fruit and wine flag style", focused on the "temple", widened the imagination space and traced his thinking back to the "Southern Dynasties", thus enhancing the historical and cultural connotation of poetry and enhancing the aesthetic realm of poetry. At the same time, the poet used "temple" to refer to Buddhism, and modified it with the imaginary number "48", which not only made the poem rich in image, but also took care of the "thousands of miles" in the first sentence. More importantly, it showed the prevalence of Buddhism in the Southern Dynasties and laid the foundation for lyricism in the following sentences.
the fourth sentence is "how many towers are misty and rainy". "misty rain" is a misty drizzle. The meaning of this sentence is that countless towers are all shrouded in wind, smoke and rain. Here, the poet did not use "temple", but changed it into "balcony", not only to avoid repetition of words, but also to adapt to such an environment as "misty rain". Here, through the combination of reality and reality, the poet has a history in front of him, and his heart is full of emotion-history is always developing and changing, and the replacement of dynasties is inevitable.
