What I saw in the night book
Ye Shaoweng
The swaying Wu leaves sent cold sounds,
The autumn wind on the river moved the guests.
I know there are children picking and knitting,
A lamp falls on the fence late at night.
Introduction to ancient poetry
"What I See in the Night Book" was written by Ye Shaoweng, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. The rustling autumn wind blows the sycamore leaves, sending bursts of chill. The poet who is traveling abroad can't help but miss his hometown. One or two sentences describe the scenery, using the falling leaves, rustling autumn wind, and chilly air to express the desolate feeling of the wanderer wandering and lonely. Three or four sentences describe a child catching crickets at night, with high spirits, which cleverly contrasts the sadness and highlights the loneliness and helplessness of being a guest in a foreign land. This poem describes the feeling of homesickness while traveling in hometown, but the author does not write about how he lives alone in a lonely house and misses his hometown, but focuses on the small scene at night.

Looking at the whole poem as a whole, three or four sentences describe what the poet saw in the boat. The children were so excited about catching crickets at night that they forgot about the howling autumn wind, the bursts of chill, the fallen trees and the cold autumn river.

(2) Question: ① Use scenes to express emotions and blend scenes.
All four sentences in the poem describe scenery. One, two or two sentences describe the natural environment, and three or four sentences describe life scenes. The rustling of falling trees, the bursts of cold sounds, the autumn wind and the autumn river convey the feeling of wandering, sadness and loneliness; wandering at night with a lantern, playing tricks on crickets, children's joy, showing the feeling of forgetting everything and forgetting to catch a fish. One is sad and the other is happy, contrasting each other, and they are all seamlessly blended into the description of the environment.
② Combining movement and stillness, using movement to contrast stillness.
Autumn leaves, autumn wind, autumn sounds, autumn rivers, autumn lanterns, autumn children, autumn boats, and autumn mood are all written in motion, with sound and color, light and shadow; dark as ink, deep and unpredictable, The darkness is boundless, and this is a picture of stillness, so quiet that it chills the soul and fills the heart with melancholy. The rustle of the wind and the naughty children, these dynamic scenes cleverly reflect the deep silence of late autumn in the middle of the night, and arouse people's understanding of the poet's sleepless and miserable soul in the cold and quiet night.
③ Contrast joy and sorrow, and use joy to contrast sorrow.
One or two sentences describe the scenery, the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, and the long sky sends chills. It is a sad scene and conveys sadness; three or four sentences writes about people, weaving in the middle of the night, and the bright lights illuminate the fence, it is a happy scene and conveys joy. . There is a mixture of sadness and joy, and the joy contrasts with the sadness, which further highlights the loneliness, helplessness, melancholy and sleeplessness of the wanderer wandering the world.
④Convey emotions and express ideas, using allusions secretly.
"The autumn wind on the river stirs up the guest sentiment" is an allusion to Zhang Han. It is said that Zhang Han, a native of Jin Dynasty, lived in Luoyang as an official. When he saw the autumn wind, he missed his hometown, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, fulfilling his wish. After understanding this, it is naturally easy to understand. The poem conveys the poet's thoughts and feelings of living away for a long time, unable to return home, and missing his family and relatives.
⑤ Personification, synaesthesia, add splendor.
"The swaying Wu leaves send the cold sound, and the autumn wind on the river moves the guests' feelings." One "send" and one "move" embody emotions in things, giving the Wu leaves and autumn wind human emotions. These poems and essays about physical objects, sounds and emotions seem to bring the readers into an artistic conception where the wind brings coldness and the autumn river is moved. They are obsessed with it and full of melancholy. "The sound of rustling Wuye leaves sending coldness" is a wonderful use of synaesthesia, using the sound of rustling to induce the feeling of cold autumn, and using auditory images to communicate tactile feelings, which is meaningful.
⑥ Carefully choose the words and sentences, "Han" and "Tiao" are expressive.
The word "cold" has two meanings in it, not only the feeling of coldness coming from the autumn wind, but also the desolate feeling of being at the end of the world. The word "pick" is reflected in the realistic details. Children's focus, sensitivity and careful interpretation, children's breathless observation, surprise and excitement are all in one "pick". "Choose" reveals the character, and "chooses" reveals the charm!
⑦ Combining the virtual and the real, reflecting the virtual with the real.
The four sentences in the whole poem describe scenes and people. What you see and hear, whether bright or dark, are all realistic. Autumn sounds fill the ears, autumn nights fill the eyes, a river of autumn water, and a group of children are like a portrait of the scene, giving people a feeling of hearing the sounds, seeing the people, and being there. This vivid scene realistically and skillfully conveys the poet's desolate and lonely feeling of being filled with melancholy and unable to sleep for a long night.
There is fictitiousness (guest sentiment) in reality, fictitiousness (feeling) is integrated into reality, reality reflects fictitiousness, words are exhaustive but meaning is endless!
