This sentence comes from "Peach Blossom Stream" written by Zhang Xu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The original text of the poem is as follows:
The flying bridge is faintly separated by the wild smoke, and the fishing boats are fishing on the west bank of Shiji. ?
The peach blossoms follow the flowing water all day long. Where is the hole beside the clear stream?
The vernacular meaning is that you can vaguely see a long bridge, cut off by wild smoke; on the west bank of Shiyu, you can borrow a fishing boat. ?Falling peach blossoms drift with the stream all day long. Where is the entrance to the Peach Blossom Cave? This is a landscape poem written based on the artistic conception of Tao Qian's "Peach Blossom Spring". It describes the beautiful scenery of Peach Blossom Stream and the author's love for fishermen. The inquiry expresses a mood of yearning for paradise and pursuing a better life.
Extended information
This poem was written by Zhang Xu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Xu was a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. He often wrote cursive writing after being drunk, and his pen strokes were endlessly varied. He applied the cursive writing style to the creation of poetry, so his Qijue poems are famous for their novel and exquisite conception, the twists and turns of the realm, and the poems often give people the wonderful feeling of being filled with smoke and clouds. This poem embodies the above artistic characteristics.
The first sentence, "The flying bridge is faintly separated by the wild smoke", describes the clouds and smoke in the distance, and the flying bridge on the stream is faintly visible. The word "spar" implies a distant view, forming a distant picture that is deep, mysterious, hazy, and full of dynamics. The second sentence "asking about the fishing boats on the west bank of Shiji" describes the close-up scene. The rocks are rugged, the stream is rushing, and the fishing boats are rocking gently.
The last two sentences are the poet asking the fisherman for information. The poet stood beside Shiji, looking at the endless peach blossom petals and fishing boats floating on the stream. In a trance, he mistook the fisherman in front of him for the Wuling fisherman who had visited Paradise, so he couldn't wait to ask him where the entrance to the Paradise was. These two questions deeply express the poet's eagerness to yearn for paradise and pursue the ideal state.
The whole poem goes from far to near, from observation to questioning, from reality to emptiness. The quiet and beautiful scenery of Peach Blossom Creek is described with layers and changes, full of rich painting meaning and profound interest. However, the poet's pen is simple and ethereal, just like a freehand painting. His clear and subtle brushwork and ink interest are very thought-provoking. .
