Miscellaneous Poems (2)
Author: Tao Yuanming
Time: Wei and Jin Dynasties
Go west during the day [1], and Dongling rises in the plain in the month.
In the distance, the scenery of the sky is swaying [2].
When the wind enters the house, the pillow mat is cool at night.
When qi changes, it is easy to realize, but not to sleep.
Nothing to say [3], waving a cup to persuade the lonely shadow [4].
If the sun and the moon abandon people, they will be invincible [5].
It's sad to read this, but I can't be quiet in the end.
Precautions:
[1]: the sound "Ew", a big hill.
[2]: Pass the "shadow".
[3]: pronounce "he" and answer.
[4]: refers to the moon.
[5]: It means "stretching".
Ideological content of poetry:
People have always paid little attention to the sadness in Tao Yuanming's poems. In fact, under the plain and harmonious overall style, Tao Yuanming's poems contain too much sadness, which is embodied in four categories: 1, the sadness of life and death, 2, the sadness of not meeting a scholar, 3, the sadness of traveling and leaving, and 4, the sadness of loneliness. The reason is that Tao's attitude towards sadness and unrestrained emotion deeply attracted readers of all ages, but made them ignore the existence of sadness.
Unique artistic conception:
Tao Yuanming's poems are good at expressing directly with simple language and sketching techniques, which makes people feel natural, cordial and sincere, without any traces of artificial carving, and guides readers to appreciate the leisurely and diluted feelings and enter the artistic conception created by the poet.
The main idea of this poem is:
This poem first describes the replacement of the sun and the moon, foreshadows the magnificent scene of Wan Li, and the sentence of "stirring" lays a sad emotional tone for the whole poem. Then, the poet used the image of a cold banquet in the evening breeze to write that he was aware of the changes of the four seasons because of the change of the weather, and set off his "cold heart" with "cold weather" to depict his "sleepless" sad mood. In the next two sentences, Tao Yuanming explained the reason of "sleepless" because there was no confidant who could talk and drink with him, thus lamenting that time passed by in a hurry, leaving an unrealized self. At the end of the poem, sadness is pushed to the extreme, and the thought of my bumpy life can only be sad, and it can't be calm until dawn. The whole poem is full of sighs about life. This is one of Tao Yuanming's many poems expressing frustration. This idea is reflected in many poems, such as Twelve Miscellaneous Poems (I) and Quasi-Elegy.
