The ancients said: "Poems are also literary, and it is forbidden to be straight and value music." (Shi Buhua's "Xian Maid Talks about Poetry"), "Everyone values ??straightforwardness in life, and the poetry and literature value music" (Yuan Mei's "Sui Yuan") "Poetry Talk" Volume 4), "The text seems to look at the mountains and not like the flatness" (Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Poetry Talk"). The plot of the poem has twists and turns and ups and downs, which gives people a sense of beauty. This is an experience gained from the poet's samadhi, and the skillful use of qubi is one of the important ways to achieve the goal of "avoiding straight and valuing ququ". What is a qubi? This is a commonly used artistic technique in Chinese classical poetry. Generally speaking, it refers to the style of writing that deliberately leaves the subject during literary creation without directly describing the situation. For example, the protagonist in the poem is clearly missing the other person, but the poet does not directly describe himself, but writes from the other person's point of view. This deep feeling of longing is expressed euphemistically and implicitly. Borrow the other person to write about yourself. On the surface, you write about the other person, but in fact, you write about yourself. Therefore, it is also called "counterwriting method". For example, the famous sentence in Wang Wei's "Remembering the Brothers in Shandong on September 9th" "I know from afar that my brothers have climbed to the heights, and there is one less person planted with dogwood trees everywhere." This is a typical example. Using the melodious technique to express emotions can make the lyrics of poetry more tactful, implicit, and profound, giving people endless aftertaste and reverie, doubling the sorrow and joy, and making it truly moving. Although this is common sense that many poets and writers are familiar with, it is not easy to actually do it. Although there are many poems that use the curved writing technique, most of them only contain one or two sentences, and Du Fu's "Moon Night" The layout of the poem is unique and original, with twists and turns. The whole poem is full of twists and turns. It does not express one's feelings directly, but it has a long and lasting charm. It is a model work that uses the twists and turns to the extreme. The following is a brief analysis of this poem to appreciate its unique artistic charm.
The poem "Moonlight Night" is written like this:
Tonight in Yanzhou, I can only watch the moon in my boudoir. I pity my children from afar, but I still remember Chang'an. The fragrant mist and clouds make the servant girl wet, and the clear jade arms are cold. When will I lean against the false veil and see my tears dry?
This poem is from the early days of the Anshi Rebellion, when the rebels forced into Tongguan. In June of the fifteenth year of Tianbao reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (756), Du Fu sent his family to his uncle's house in Baishui County, and then fled north with the refugees. After passing through Tongjiawa, Huayuan and Sanchuan, he moved to Qiang Village in Yanzhou (today's Fuxian County) to live, and his wife and children also stayed here. He used this poem in "Peng Ya Xing" to describe the situation of his escape at that time: "Recalling the past when I was trying to avoid thieves, I walked north through danger and hardship. It was late at night on Peng Ya Road, and the moon shone on the Baishui Mountain. I walked for a long time in the room and met people. How shameless. The wandering girl is no longer around. I hear the cries of tigers and wolves, and my voice becomes more and more angry. They had no protection from the rain, and the path was cold..." After going through many hardships, Du Fu finally settled in Qiang Village, Yanzhou. At this time, Chang'an had fallen, Xuanzong fled to Shu, and Du Fu fled to Shu alone. Tang Suzong, who ascended the throne in Lingwu, was captured by the rebels on the way and escorted back to Chang'an. He wrote the poem "Moonlight Night" in prison.
The meaning of the poem is not difficult to understand just from the literal meaning of the poem. The general idea is: Tonight there is a bright moon over Yanzhou. I am looking at the bright moon here, and my wife must be alone in her boudoir looking at the moon: Hope Husband, come back soon! Far away in Chang'an, I also think of the lovely children. Are they too young? I still don’t know how to miss my father who left home! (I imagine you at home
