Country night
Tang Bai Juyi
Keywords frost grass, gray worm, cutting,
Nancun Beicun is absolutely deserted.

1 translation
In a gray autumn grass beaten by frost, insects are whispering, and pedestrians around the mountain village are extinct.
I came to the front door alone and looked at the fields. I saw the bright moon shining on the endless buckwheat field. The buckwheat flowers on the ground are like a dazzling snowflake.

This poem has no amazing pen, no gorgeous words and beautiful sentences, but just draws an ordinary country night in a simple way. Handy, eloquent, but fresh and quiet, poetic.
? Frost grass ash insect scissors, people in the south of the village are unique? , faint frost grass, point out the thick autumn colors; Cutting insects, rendering the sadness of autumn night. Pedestrians are extinct and everything is silent. The two poems clearly outline the characteristics of village night: the night is deep, the autumn color is strong, and the grass color is boundless under the influence of autumn frost. The air was silent and the pedestrians were gone. Only unknown autumn insects are singing in a low voice. Although it is purely a landscape, it is just as Wang Guowei said in "Words on Earth". Everything is emotional? The desolate scenery reveals the poet's lonely feelings. This feeling in the landscape is more attractive than direct lyric.
? Watching Noda before going out alone? In a word, it is not only a transition in poetry, but also changes the object of description from the countryside to the field; It is also a turning point between the two couplets, which draws a bleak atmosphere of the village night and unfolds another refreshing picture for readers: the bright moonlight shines on the endless buckwheat field, which looks like a crystal white snow from a distance, bright and dazzling.
? Moonlight is like snow? This is a very moving scenery. The picturesque beauty of nature infected the poet and made him forget his loneliness for a while, so he couldn't help but marvel. This magnificent scene is in sharp contrast with the description in the first two sentences. Poets skillfully use the transformation of natural scenery to write the emotional changes of characters, which are flexible and free without traces; And simple and natural, it is kind and touching to read and memorable. Did you praise it in Tang and Song poetry? Blindly simple, not fake makeup, self-aging, who is close to ancient times in the seven wonders? .
Understanding of the thoughts, feelings and writing techniques expressed in this poem: Because of the different scenery described before and after, it expresses the poet's emotional change from loneliness to excitement and complacency. The poet depicts the night scene of the countryside in a simple way, which is fresh and calm and contains profound poetry. The poem describes the rural night, bleak and desolate, but also spectacular, which constitutes the rural night scene in contrast.
About the author: Bai Juyi (772 -846), a native of Xinzheng, Henan Province, was born in Taiyuan, and his great-grandfather moved to Xiayi when he was born. He was a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty and one of the three great poets in the Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi Yuan Zhen * * * advocated the new Yuefu movement, which is well known to the world? Bai Yuan? And rachel? Bai Liu? . Bai Juyi's poems have a wide range of themes, diverse forms and popular language. Poet? And then what? Poetry king? Known as. Official to Hanlin bachelor, Zuo Zanshan doctor. In 846 AD, Bai Juyi died in Luoyang and was buried in Xiangshan. Up to now, there are Bai's "Changqing Collection", and the representative works include Song of Eternal Sorrow, Charcoal Man, Pipa Travel and so on.
Bai Juyi's main works
theme
Theme concentration is one of the artistic features of Bai Juyi's satirical poems. He usually only chooses the most typical things and highlights a theme. A sad thing? The theme is clear. In order to convey the theme to readers more clearly, or add a small preface under the poem title to point out the theme, or? Pawn stamp shows his will? Highlight the theme. Secondly, the artistic features of Bai poetry are also reflected in the portrayal of characters. He can grasp the characteristics of the characters and draw the characters vividly by line drawing. However, the poetry of Bai poetry is not simple, and he often reposes the meaning with simple sentences, which has achieved amazing artistic effects. The poem "light fat" describes the spirit of ministers, doctors and generals attending the meeting and the richness of wine and food on the table, but the conclusion reads:? Is it the drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and people in Quzhou eat people? What a tragic scene this is.
Leisure poems and allegorical poems are two kinds of poems that Bai Juyi pays special attention to. Both of them are realistic, vulgar and thrifty, but they are quite different in content and mood. What is the purpose of fable poetry? Concurrent? , closely related to social politics, writing more triumphant; What does leisure poetry mean? Dushan? ,? Be content with peace and play with temperament? ("Nine Books with the Same Yuan"), thus showing an indifferent, peaceful and leisurely state of mind.
Bai Juyi's leisurely poems have a great influence on later generations. His simple language style and indifferent and leisurely mood have been praised many times, but in contrast, what about the seclusion, contentment and peace far from politics expressed in these poems? Leisure? Thought, as well as the attitude of returning to Buddha and imitating Tao Yuanming, have far-reaching influence because they are more in line with the psychology of later literati. As Bai Juyi said? Twenty cents a dozen? ("Why don't you drink seven songs?" Part VII)? What's the controversy about the snail's horn? Why did you send this body into the light of Shi Huo? (the next part of "five songs on wine"), and? What happened to the snail horn after that? ("Wu Zengbian Zhai Chuan" (Volume 8). That is, the theory of naming poets. The names drunkard, pedantic and Dongpo all come from Bai Letian's poems? (Gong Yizheng's Notes on Tibetan Mustard). Song Zhou Bida pointed out:? In this dynasty, Su Wen of Nakamiya paid little attention to permission, but he loved Lotte alone and wrote many poems. Gage's articles are all about words, but they are honest and generous, outspoken, full of words, affectionate with people and indifferent to things. The exile of Huangzhou, named Dongpo, must have originated from the work of Lotte Zhongzhou. ? (Poems of Erlaotang) All these show the influence track of Bai Juyi and his poems.
Poetry theory
Bai Juyi's thought integrates Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, mainly Confucianism. Mencius said that? If you are rich, you will help the world, but if you are poor, you will be immune to it. It is the creed he followed all his life. Its? Concurrent? The ambition of Confucianism is mainly benevolent politics, including the theory of Huang Lao, the technique of treating Xiao and the method of applying for Korea; Its? Dushan? Heart, then what about the ideas of contentment, uniformity and carefree learned from Laozi and Zhuangzi and Buddhism? Free? Thought. The two are roughly bounded by Bai's demotion of Jiangzhou Sima. Bai Juyi not only left nearly 3,000 poems, but also put forward a whole set of poetic theories. He compared poetry to a fruit tree and proposed? Root feeling, Miao language, Hua Sheng, true meaning? Uncle Yu Yuan, what does he think? Love? Is the fundamental condition of poetry. Who moved people first? ("Nine Books with Yuan"), and the emotion is sentimental and tied to current politics. Therefore, poetry creation cannot be divorced from reality, but must be based on various events in real life and reflect the social and political situation of an era. He inherited the tradition of "beauty and beauty" since the Book of Songs and attached importance to the realistic content and social function of poetry. Emphasize the role of poetry in exposing and criticizing political abuses. He put forward a series of principles in the method of poetry expression. In "Nine Books with the Same Yuan", he put forward the famous? Articles are written in time, and poems and songs are written in things? Principles of realistic creation.
His poetic theory is of progressive significance for urging poets to face up to reality and care about people's livelihood. It also has an important influence on the poetic style that has gradually emphasized form since Dali (766 ~ 779). However, overemphasizing the subordination of poetry creation to the needs of real politics will inevitably constrain the artistic creation of poetry and the diversification of poetry styles.
