(Selected from Tsao Zhi's Zaqu Seven-color Star, also known as Ranger. )
White horse decorated with gold, flying northwest. Excuse me, who is the family? You are a ranger.
Young people go to villages and towns, raising their voices and hanging in the desert. I used to have a good bow, but my arrows were uneven.
If the string is controlled to break the left, the right hair will destroy the moon branch. Raise your hand to catch flies and bend down to lay horseshoes.
Smarter than monkeys and apes, as brave as leopards. There are many policemen in the border town, and the number of soldiers and riders is also moving.
Feathers come from the north, and horses climb the embankment. The dragon drove to the Huns, and the left looked around and led Xianbei.
Give up your life on the blade, and your life will be safe? Parents don't care, how can we talk about children and wives!
A famous person is a strong person, and he can't be selfish. Give your life to the national disaster and feel like you're dying!
Enjoy 1:
In this poem, Cao Zhi depicts a young ranger with superb martial arts who is eager to make contributions to the country and even willing to sacrifice his life to express his passion for serving the country. The style of the poem is bold, the atmosphere is warm and the language is delicate, which can be called both emotional appeal and victory.
The picture of "flying over the northwest" at the beginning of the poem vividly conveys a spirit of courage. Next, a long passage about "Traveling to Jing You Shire" is extremely vivid, describing his brave and brave martial arts, and there is a stirring and powerful emotion between pen and ink. This extraordinary white horse boy "drives away the Huns and leaves Gu Ling humble", full of heroic spirit.
The poet not only wrote the heroic behavior of the white horse boy with passionate style, but also revealed the patriotic spirit of the characters with delicate language. The last few sentences of the poem tell the ideological background and heroic feelings of the white horse boy. His voice is solemn and stirring, his tone is deep and far-reaching, and he has the charm of Yi Shui's elegy. Poetry uses flashbacks and supplementary narratives. The poem begins abruptly with "white horse decorated with gold, flying northwest" and supplements the reason of "flying northwest" with "Who is my son" 12. Then he flashed back to the feeling of "making up the names of strong men" and saying goodbye to his family; Finally, the scene of riding "going to the country" coincides with the opening. This composition, like flashback in the movie, gradually deepened the image of the white horse hero, and the theme of worrying about the country and the people and giving one's life to help the poor was clearly and prominently displayed.
Appreciation 2:
Cao Zhi's Yuefu poetry can be divided into four sections to understand its content. The first section, from the beginning to Wandering Ranger, outlines the hero's handsome and heroic spirit; The second section, from "going to the countryside when young" to "brave as a leopard", supplements the origin of the ranger and his superb martial arts; In the third section, from "The Border Town is Full of Police" to "The Left Valley Makes the Fairy North", I wrote the heroic deeds of the Ranger on the battlefield and bravely killed the enemy; The fourth section, from "Abandoning the Front Edge" to the end, wrote the lofty ideological realm of the ranger who gave his life to serve the country and died. The whole poem creates a ranger image with high martial arts and patriotic feelings.
This work uses an elaborate brushwork. This is the outstanding artistic feature of Yuefu poetry. The poem describes the knight errant's martial arts: "If the string is controlled to break the left, the right hair will destroy the moon branch. Raise your hand and pick up the fly, bend down and spread out the horseshoe. " "Left", "Moon Branch" and "Horseshoe" are all objects of archery practice. In this way, the author shows his superb archery skills from different directions: left, right, up and down. For example, write about his exploits: "Feathers came from the north and climbed the embankment very quickly." Long-legged Xiongnu, Zuogu makes Xianbei. ""Feather State "commanded, and he immediately threw himself into a bloody battle. He put down the border chaos and kept the security around him. This elaborate writing, the meaning of the first sentence corresponds to that of the second sentence, which renders the atmosphere and leaves a distinct and profound impression on the readers.
This meticulous writing also shows the author's sincere admiration for the ranger. For example, in the fourth quarter, the author repeatedly used four sentences with roughly the same meaning, praising the noble ideology and morality of the ranger who gave his life to serve the country and died, showing his deep admiration. In fact, Cao Zhi wrote this way to express his feelings through poetry, and to express his heroic feelings of making contributions to the country by writing a ranger.
Appreciation 3:
The title of this article is Zaqu Qige Se Xing written by Han Yuefu, and the first word is.
From Jian 'an, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, to the early years of Huang Dynasty in Wei Wendi? 196-226? , is a golden age in the history of China's poetry. Under the advocacy of Cao Shi and his son, the realistic spirit of "feeling sad and happy, starting from something" in Yuefu poems in Han Dynasty has been inherited and carried forward. A group of poets who met after a long separation, witnessed hardships, and were willing to face up to reality, not only wrote the social truth into the pen, but also injected their own true feelings. The most valuable literary works in this period, besides reflecting the war and people's suffering, are chapters expressing the ideals and ambitions of making contributions to the country. The representative works in this field are Cao Cao's Gui Although Shou and Cao Zhi's White Horse Piece. If Ghost Blows the Lamp is a "song of a strong man" who lives in seclusion, then "White Horse" is an "ideal song" of a heroic teenager. The poem depicts a white horse hero who is good at martial arts and loyal to the country.
Cao Zhi? 192-232? Cao Cao's third son, Zi Zijian. Born in troubled times, he fought with his father in all directions since childhood. "The Antarctic is bare, facing the sea in the east, looking at Yumen in the west and leaving Xuansai in the north." Since the separatist regime in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the commitment to national unity and social stability has been the strongest voice of the times. The call of this era, coupled with the edification of Cao Cao's lofty ambition of "being a martyr in his later years", cultivated Cao Zhi's ideal of "faithfully serving the country and benefiting the people" and cast a heroic image with patriotic virtues and talents in his heart. Yuan Haowen, a writer in Jin Dynasty, said that real poetry should be a poet's "heart painting". It can be said that "White Horse Piece" is Cao Zhi's "heart painting and heartfelt wishes", which entrusted the poet's desire and vision to contribute to the country.
There are 28 sentences in the whole poem, which we might as well understand in four layers.
The first two sentences are the first layer. "White horse decorated with gold, flying to the northwest", white horse decorated with gold halter, flying directly to the northwest. The first sentence does not write people, people are among them. What is used here is the technique of metonymy contrast, which refers to people with horses and sets off people's valor with horses. In the eyes of the ancients, the white horse not only has the ability to fight, but also symbolizes firmness, loyalty, dedication and sacrifice. Cao Zhi, who was born in troubled times and grew up in the army, "is determined to serve Daming and make contributions to the world", and it is more appropriate to call his ideal young hero a white horse. Flying Northwest shows the military urgency and creates a strong atmosphere of war.
The following sentence, 12, is the second floor. As mentioned above, the beginning of the poem is about military emergency, but then the question and answer of "Who is my son, I am a ranger" was postponed, and the description of the white horse hero was slowly inserted, which led to the relaxation of the rhythm of the poem. Youhe refers to Youzhou and Bingzhou, and is the hometown of Yan and Zhao. There have been "many generous and sad people" since ancient times. It is said in the poem that this white horse hero is a "wandering knight". There is an ancient poem "Drunk in the sand without laughing, there have been several wars since ancient times". This white horse hero who "went to the countryside when he was young" was famous in the frontier after a long battle. Why is this happening? Then the poet described the hero's superb martial arts with passionate strokes:
I used to catch a good bow, but the bitter arrows were uneven! If the string is controlled to break the left, the right hair will destroy the moon branch.
Raise your hand to catch flies and bend down to lay horseshoes. Smarter than monkeys and apes, as brave as leopards.
"Hold the bow well in the past" means that he never leaves early and returns late with a bow hand; "How uneven the arrows are when the wood is bitter" means that the arrows he shoots are endless and galloping one after another. These two sentences are about his long-term unremitting practice of riding and shooting skills, which shows that his profound martial arts can not be achieved overnight. Next, I will write about his superb riding and shooting skills: opening the bow left and right, shooting up and down, moving or static, and the arrow is not empty. Agility is better than apes, and bravery is like tiger, leopard and dragon. The poet vividly and intensively explained the extraordinary life experience and outstanding skills of this hero with highly concise pen and ink and meticulous description. This not only answers the question of who this white horse hero is and why he can "speak in the desert", but also lays a solid foundation for writing his heroic deeds below.
The following six sentences, How Urgent is the Border Town, are the third floor. Structurally speaking, this is the beginning of the "Northwest Pool", which is not only the cause of the "Northwest Pool", but also the continuation of the "Northwest Pool". In terms of content, this is to create characters in a harsh war environment. "Border towns are more alert, and Lu rides several times." Feathers came from the north, and they immediately climbed the embankment. "Border towns have repeatedly reported emergencies, and enemy cavalry frequently violated the border. There was an urgent proclamation with feathers in the north, and the white horse hero immediately urged his horse to climb the fortifications. It took only four sentences and 20 words to write the heroic courage of the hero who was anxious for his country. At the critical juncture of the frontier fortress, he immediately went to the front line without hesitation under the orders of the state. The sentence "Long March to Xiongnu, Zuoguling Xianbei" is a positive description of the heroic bravery. The words "dance" and "ling" strongly show his heroic spirit of overwhelming the enemy without being overwhelmed by the enemy. Structurally speaking, these two sentences are transitional sentences connecting the past with the future, which are not only the natural conclusion described in the previous paragraph, but also the introduction to the following discussion.
Give up your life on the blade, and your life will be safe? Parents don't care, how can you talk about children and wives?
A famous person is a strong person, and he can't be selfish. Forget the national disaster at the risk of life, and suddenly feel life and death.
This is the last floor. In other words, if you devote yourself to the battlefield of blade and blade, how can you not care about life and death? Where can I care about my parents, wife and children? Now that you have been included in the ranks of strong men and joined the ranks of the army, you can't have any selfish thoughts in your heart. You should be ready to die for your country at any time. You should die as if you were dead. This is not only the monologue of the hero in the poem, but also the poet's revelation and praise of the hero's lofty spiritual world. As far as general narrative poetry is concerned, it is enough to express the story of the protagonist clearly, and there is no need to discuss it again. As far as this poem is concerned, this argument is indispensable. Reading the whole poem, we can easily feel that the passion in the poet's heart is rising step by step in layers of description, and finally surging, "emotion moves in the middle, in the form of words", so we have to get rid of it quickly. This is the natural expression of the poet's heart. Because of this, we not only have no vague feeling when reading, but also feel that every sentence is true and shocking.
Cao Zhi said in "The Book with Yang Dezu": "It is necessary to talk about streets and lanes; The song of hitting the iron shaft is elegant. "This shows that he attaches great importance to folk songs." "White Horse Piece" can not be separated from the simplicity of "Talk in the Street" and "Song of Strike the Iron Axis", and its literary color is gorgeous, thus forming a vigorous and simple artistic style. When commenting on this poem by Cao Zhi, A Qing Ren Fang said that "this poem is very amazing" and that this article "actually produced Qu Zi's Nine Songs of National Mourning". That's right. This poem not only has a relaxed rhythm, but also has ups and downs, which is alarming. This language also has amazing characteristics. For example, the word "uneven" of "how uneven the wood is" is originally an ordinary word, meaning uneven length. However, it is quite unusual to use it here. Generally, the words are bright. Used to describe the arrow that shoots, rushing endlessly, nothing is more vivid than it. I'm afraid it's hard to find a more suitable one. The so-called "Nine Songs of Qu Zi's National Mourning" refers to the spirit of the hero's "death from national disaster and sudden death" praised at the end of the article, which is in the same strain as the patriotic spirit of "the soul is a ghost hero" praised by Qu Yuan at the end of the national mourning article, and is a generous tribute to patriotic heroes.
Bai Juyi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, said: "Poetry is rooted in emotion, Miao characters, Hua Sheng and true meaning", which means that poetry is rooted in emotion, language is Miao, sound is flower, and thinking is fruit. Cao Zhi devoted his lofty ideals and passions to the characters in his works, and he also learned ideas and artistic nutrition from the excellent works and folk songs of his predecessors, so he created an enduring artistic image of a "white horse hero".
