Next, let's select 10 poems and feel the poetic and painting meanings endowed by the ancients through them.
Seeing Rhododendron in Xuancheng/Dividing Rules
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
Shu has heard of Zigui bird and Xuancheng has seen azaleas.
One is called, one is ileum, one is broken, and March is three memories.
When I was in Shu, I heard the piercing song of the cuckoo. I didn't expect to see the cuckoo in full bloom in Xuancheng, a foreign land. The cuckoo cries sadly, which makes people sad. This late spring March, birds and flowers are fragrant, which makes people miss their hometown.
The poem combines the blooming of azaleas, the sad cry of Zigui and the heartbroken pain of the poet, which envelops the whole poem in endless sadness and is intriguing.
Huanxisha swims in autumn waters in Qingquan Temple.
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
Under the mountain, the blue buds are short immersed in the stream, and the sand road between the pines is clean and mud-free.
At dusk, the rain is whispering.
Who says life can't go back to adolescence? The water in front of the door can also flow west!
Don't bemoan the passage of old age!
The sand road between the pine forests is clean and tidy, and the drizzling dusk rain and the cuckoo's cry are echoing.
When the author strolled by the stream, he saw only business, forgot the noise of the world and the filth of officialdom, and aroused his inner love for nature and aftertaste of life. Therefore, in the next paragraph of this poem, he focuses on his philosophical thinking about life.
To ambassador Li of Zizhou.
Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei
Towering mountains, towering trees, cuckoo singing in the depths of Qian Shan.
The spring rain in the mountains has not stopped all night, and the trees on the treetops are spring.
Han women work hard to weave taxes, while Ba people rarely compete for fields.
I hope you will carry forward Wen Weng's achievements, make persistent efforts and forge ahead.
In the valley of Qian Shan, there are towering trees and cuckoos everywhere.
This is a farewell work, based on the shrill voice of cuckoo, but there is no continuation of parting, no general parting ceremony, and some are deeply concerned about national affairs, people's livelihood and friends' future. This lofty style and positive and cheerful mood make this a good farewell song of Tang poetry.
golden
Tang Dynasty: Li Shangyin
I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, and each string has a youthful interval.
Zhuangzi daydreaming, a saint, was bewitched by butterflies, and cuckoo crowed in the imperial spring.
Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathed their jade to the sun.
A moment that should last forever? Before I knew it, it had come and gone.
Zhuang Zhou danced in his sleep and turned into a butterfly, hoping that the emperor would entrust his hatred to Du Fu. The author quotes classics here to express his feelings.
The poem Jinse has always been difficult to understand, but its rhetoric is gorgeous, implicit and profound, but it is certain. In this poem, the author recalls his boyhood, mourns his misfortune, and places his sadness and resentment on him. He borrows a lot of allusions such as Zhuang Sheng's dream butterfly, cuckoo crying blood, tears in the sea, jade like smoke, etc., and uses metaphor and imagination to transform auditory feelings into visual images, and creates a hazy realm by combining fragments of images, so as to convey them with the help of visually perceptible poetic images.
Partridge leaning against the emerald green ten-mile tower
Song: Yan
A ten-mile-long tower leans on the green land. The cuckoo crows in the depths of a hundred flowers.
Talking to pedestrians diligently is not like a songbird flying for the second time.
Sleep in a dream, when it clears up that day. It's better to return than to return.
Is it true that the end of the world has not returned, and it is impossible to strive for a return date?
A cuckoo's cry came from the flowers. They seem to be talking to people in the same trade. Unlike those yellows, they just fly back and forth freely.
This word expresses the depressed mood of a wandering wanderer who is eager to return but can't decide when to return. The first time I heard cuckoo crow, it touched my homesickness. When I heard the cuckoo crow again, my mood became very excited, which showed the sadness of a homeless wanderer.
Send to spring
Song Dynasty: Mausoleum
In March, the residual flowers bloom even more, and the small eaves swallow day by day.
Zi Gui still cries blood in the middle of the night, so he doesn't believe that the east wind can't call him back.
Du Fu often cries at the end of spring, and the poet and Zigui weep at midnight. They don't believe that the east wind can't call them back, in order to show that they try their best to keep the time, which not only expresses their feelings of farewell, but also shows their self-confidence and fighting attitude.
The cuckoo poems in the poems are described in anthropomorphic ways, which shows their firm belief and optimistic spirit of tenacious progress and persistent pursuit of a better future.
Queqiaoxian smells azaleas every night.
Song dynasty: Lu you
The eaves are quiet, the window lights are dim, and the Spring Festival Evening is stormy.
The warbler's nest is always silent, but on a moonlit night, she often cries out Du Yu.
I shed tears in a hurry, dreaming, and picked up the deep branches to fly away.
So, the mountain is uncomfortable, half-life, floating!
In the late spring night, the candlelight flickered and no one said anything. Even the orioles in the Woods stopped singing, but the cuckoo moaned.
In this poem, the author first painted the scenery and rendered the atmosphere, then showed the cuckoo's night cry through comparison, then wrote the feeling caused by the crow, and finally expressed his feelings about life through association. Layers of association, layers of progression, careful structure, fully expressed the author's thoughts and feelings.
