Listen to the clever teacher playing the piano.
Han Yu
Children's language,
Hatred is like hostility.
Rowing became spectacular,
Soldiers go to enemy territory.
Clouds and catkins have no roots,
The world is wide and far away.
A noisy flock of birds,
Suddenly I saw the lonely phoenix.
You can't climb this line,
Fall out of favor and fall.
I have two ears,
I didn't save Beth.
Ever since I listened to Ying's performance,
Sit aside.
Stop it with your hands,
Wet clothes and tears.
Smart and sincere,
There is no ice charcoal in my intestines.
Appreciation of Han Yu's poems
Master Ying was a Tianzhu monk who was famous for playing the piano in Chang 'an during Yuanhe years. Li He also wrote a song "Listen to Ying Shi's Piano Music" to praise him. This poem by Han Yu was written in the 10th and 11th years of Yuanhe (8 15, 8 16).
This is a masterpiece describing the image of music. The whole poem can be divided into two paragraphs.
The first ten sentences are the first paragraph, which describes the beautiful piano sound played by Ying Shi.
At first, the piano was soft and delicate, and the timbre was lingering, as if a young man and a woman were in love. They were whispering and laughing. Xiang, er, you are both the second person, which is what you mean. Calling each other that way shows that you are very close. Du fu's drunken song: get carried away. These two sentences describe the sound of the piano vividly, which makes people not only hear the sound of intimacy, but also seem to see the intimacy of a pair of young men and women, and introduce people into the artistic conception of the sound of the piano.
But just as people listened to God, the tone suddenly changed:
Like the wind, who is singing the flag? A soldier likes to fight the king with his sword. In a flash, the sound of the piano became impassioned and loud, as if the warriors had generously gone to the enemy and marched into the battlefield with great momentum, bringing people into a completely different realm.
After a while, it was again: the floating clouds and catkins have no roots, the world flies with them, and the voice turns to soothing and melodious, as if white clouds are leisurely in the blue sky, and as if catkins are floating wildly in the wind, people are fascinated by it.
Just as people were wandering around, singing birds and flowers, they suddenly saw a lonely phoenix. At this time, the piano became birdsong, and suddenly there seemed to be a noble phoenix with a long neck and a harmonious and crisp sound.
Then, the piano is getting louder and louder, playing higher and higher, and being more measured. Like a mountaineer, he climbed steep peaks layer by layer on the cliff. As he approached the highest peak, the road ahead was getting darker and darker, and it was impossible to climb another inch. The scene is really thrilling. In this extremely tense time, suddenly, the voice dropped, and the strength and influence plummeted, like the athlete who struggled to climb the peak, falling straight into the abyss. ..
This passage describes the unpredictable sound of the piano played by Ying Shi through vivid metaphors, and fully imitates the softness, ups and downs and twists and turns of the piano sound with vivid language, which makes people completely intoxicated with the rich and beautiful piano sound.
The last eight sentences are the second paragraph, which is about the feeling of Qin.
Although I don't know music, I have been fidgeting after listening to Ying Shi's performance, and my clothes are soaked with tears. I can't help but stop the clever teacher and let him stop playing. Smart and sincere, there is no ice charcoal for my intestines. That is to say: your playing skills are so strong that my heart is sometimes hot and sometimes cold. My feelings are so volatile that I can't stand it any longer. The poem is over before the music is over. It was really floating, and suddenly it ended.
This passage not only shows the poet's deep affection, but also sets off Ying Shi's brilliant achievements.
