Jian Jia’s poem uses descriptions of scenery. These descriptions of scenery show us a bleak and desolate (or lonely, desolate, desolate) picture of late autumn.
Original text (from the anonymous pre-Qin Dynasty):
Jianjia is green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Yiren is on the side of the water. If you follow it, the road is blocked and long. Traveling back from it, Wan is in the middle of the water.
The leaves are luxuriant and the white dew is still there. The so-called beauty is on the water. If you follow it back, the road will be blocked and you will be able to advance. If you go back and swim from it, you will feel like you are swimming in the water.
The jianjia is collected, and the white dew has not stopped. The so-called beauty is in the river of water. Follow it back, but the road is blocked and to the right. If you go back and swim from it, you will be swimming in the water.
Translation: The vast reeds are green, and the morning dew turns to frost. The sweetheart I miss is standing on the other side of the river. I went upstream to look for her, but the way to follow her was difficult and long. I looked for her downriver, and he seemed to be in the middle of the river. A vast expanse of reeds is desolate, and the early morning dew has not yet dried.
The one who is obsessed with me, she is on the other side of the river. I went upstream to look for her, but the way was difficult and difficult. I looked for him/her down the river, He/she seemed to be on a islet in the water.
The reeds along the river are lush and continuous, and the dew drops in the early morning have not yet evaporated. The one I am after so much is right there on the river bank. I went upstream to look for her, but the road was tortuous and difficult. I sought him/her downriver, He/she seemed to be on the beach in the water.
Extended information:
The beginning of each chapter of the poem uses a style of writing inspired by the poem. Through the description and admiration of the real scene in front of you, the painting creates an ethereal artistic conception that envelopes the entire article. The poet grasped the unique characteristics of autumn colors, and did not hesitate to use thick ink and heavy colors to repeatedly depict and exaggerate the lonely and sad atmosphere of late autumn, so as to express the poet's feeling of loss but passionate yearning.
The first two sentences of each chapter of the poem are inspired by the autumn scenery and lead to the main text. It not only highlights the season and time, but also exaggerates the desolate atmosphere of the pale sky and white dew, heightens the melancholy mood of the characters, and achieves an artistic realm of blending emotions with scenery and blending scenes. The images of "Jianjia", "Water" and "Yiren" complement each other and are integrated into one. The things used as inspiration and the objects to be depicted form a complete artistic world.
The scene of reeds growing by the water in autumn is written at the beginning. This is exactly "supporting the image to clarify the meaning" and has the function of "arousing emotion". Because of the thick reeds and the reflection of the skylight and water, it will inevitably show a state of confusion, which from one side shows the state of "hazy love" in the heart of the protagonist of the poem.
