The spring breeze in February is like a poem of scissors: Jasper is dressed as a tree with ten thousand green silk tapestries hanging down. ? I don't know who cut the thin leaves, but the spring breeze in February is like scissors.
Chanting Willow is a seven-character quatrain written by He Zhizhang, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
The tall willows are like jasper piles, and the soft branches are like thousands of green ribbons floating down. I don't know whose clever hand cut this green leaf. The spring breeze in February is like a clever pair of scissors.
Creative background:
In the third year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (744), He Zhizhang returned to his hometown with a letter of resignation, and the officials saw him off. He arrived in Xiaoshan County by boat via Nanjing and Hangzhou, and along Xiaoshaoguan River. The officials of Yuezhou greeted him at the post station, and then went to his old house by the Panshui River outside the south gate by boat.
It's early spring in February, and willow buds are budding, full of spring, and the breeze is blowing on your face. He Zhizhang, like a bird out of its cage, returned to his hometown, and he was naturally very happy. He wrote this poem on the spot.
Appreciation:
This poem is lofty in conception and ingenious in metaphor. First, it focuses on the big picture, then describes it in sections, and the more detailed it is, the more vivid it shows the willow tree's form and spirit. The topic is to chant willow, but it is not only to chant willow, but also to chant spring. Singing is natural.
The whole poem is made of jasper, which leads to "green silk tapestry", which leads to "who cut it out". Finally, the invisible and unpredictable "spring breeze" is also vividly depicted with "scissors".
These "scissors" cut out bright green and bright red flowers and plants, and put on new makeup for the earth. It is the symbol of natural vitality and the inspiration of spring to people's beauty. From "Jasper Makeup" to "Scissors", we can see the process of the poet's artistic conception. A series of images in poetry are closely linked.
