Dynasty: Tang Dynasty Author: Wang Wei
This is a poem that expresses the yearning for love by chanting things, and it is a work that cares about friends as soon as possible. Sentences are inspired by things, and the language is simple but imaginative; Then, I sent a message with questions, which meaningfully entrusted my feelings; The third sentence implies cherishing friendship. On the surface, it seems nostalgic, but behind it, there is a deep weight of love. The last pun is not only to the point, but also to the feelings. It is beautiful and elegant. The whole poem is elegant and smart, full of thoughts, unpretentious language and harmonious and feminine rhythm. It can be described as the best of quatrains.
Red bean, born in the south, is bright red and round, and its appearance is crystal clear, because southerners often use it as clothing decoration. Red beans are associated with acacia, which comes from a sad love story. Legend has it that in ancient times, a woman died in the frontier because of her husband, crying to death under a tree, and then turned into red beans, which grew and sprouted in spring. From then on, red beans were called acacia, which was also quoted as acacia in literature. And "lovesickness" is not limited to the scope of love between men and women, but also includes friends. For example, Su Li's poem "It's hard for pedestrians to stay for a long time, and each has its own lovesickness language" is an example. The title of this poem is "A Gift from the River to Li Guinian", which shows that this poem expresses the feelings of caring for friends.
"Southland" (South) is not only the origin of red beans, but also the place where friends are. The first sentence begins with "when those red berries come in spring", which implies the lovesickness in the following. The language is extremely simple and full of images. The second sentence, "Your southern branches are flushed," was asked softly. Naturally, the tone of the message was particularly cordial. However, it is meaningful to ask you only Flushing, a red bean on the southern branch. This is to choose something full of emotion to express your feelings. When you passed my window, did the plum blossom bloom its first cold flower? ? (Wang Wei's Miscellaneous Poems) The memory of Li Shu reflects the deep homesickness of Hakka people. Similarly, the red beans here are also a symbol of sincere friendship. If you write like this, you will feel that language is close to love and far away.
The third sentence is followed by the message of "pick more red beans", which means the same thing. Picking plants to express nostalgia is a common practice in classical poetry. For example, an ancient poem in the Han Dynasty said, "She picked hibiscus in the Suijiang River and many fragrant grasses in Lanze. Who will stay behind?" Thinking is a long way "is an example. "For my sake, take a hug and go home," as if to say, "When you see red beans, think about everything about me. "It is suggested that friends from afar cherish friendship, and the language is sincere and touching. Here, I only use acacia to tell people, but my own acacia is seen between the lines. Expressing feelings in this way is elegant, moving and meaningful. Song people compiled 10 thousand Tang poems, and the word "duo" in this sentence is "Hugh" Using the word "Hugh" to compare the pain of lovelorn, from lovesickness to lovephobia, is of course a human feeling in a certain situation. The use of the word "duo" shows a warm and passionate bodybuilding mood. This poetry is high without hurting delicacy, and it has a great relationship with the word "Duo", so the word "Duo" is better than the word "Hugh".
The last sentence "as a symbol of our love" is only because red beans can best express acacia. People in China often say "thinking about people when seeing things". This "thing" may be something he has eaten or worn, or something he has seen or heard; Maybe he likes it, maybe he hates it. As long as it is related to him, even if there is only a trace of connection, it can arouse the sensitive nerves of the missing person. What the poet hopes is that every time a friend sees this red bean that best represents acacia, he can think of the "I" who misses acacia and the "I" who misses you. From the poet's affectionate exhortation to his friends, we can see the poet's deep homesickness. It is the poet's desire for friends that makes him hope that his friends can do the same. Expressing feelings in this way is deeply touching.
The whole poem is permeated with the enthusiasm of teenagers, the breath of youth and full of feelings. Every word does not leave the red bean, but it is "outside the elephant, in the middle" to express the love of acacia. It is "in one go", which is extremely vivid but euphemistic. In life, the most affectionate words are often plain and natural. Wang Wei is very good at refining this simple and typical language to express profound thoughts and feelings. So it is not surprising that this poem is simple and affectionate and became a popular song at that time.
