Literary Appreciation:
As early as the early Jin Dynasty, Zuo Si expressed the aesthetic views of people in the Six Dynasties on landscapes: "Why bother with silk and bamboo? Landscapes have clear sounds." In the eyes of people in the Six Dynasties, It turns out that natural landscapes are better able to vent people's inner pain and produce aesthetic pleasure than music with "sad or sad sounds, all faster than the ears". Therefore, the people of the Six Dynasties not only founded the school of landscape poetry, but also truly created the artistic conception of landscape. This is exactly what He Xun's song "Ci Laoji" is like.
“The happy smoke rises from the distant shore, the slanting sun shines on the peaceful stream, and we enjoy the sunset together, temporarily relieving our worries about hometown.” Here, the realm of landscape and the realm of life are interlinked. In the sorrow of traveling and homesickness, the poet strolled to the riverside, and suddenly there appeared in front of his eyes a soft, quiet, beautiful and colorful dusk scene: the rising dusk smoke was like a piece of white gauze held up by the breeze, graceful, delicate, and fantastic. Diverse, hazy and distant.
On the tranquil river surface, the gorgeous sunset casts a piece of ruby, and the evening breeze blows, making the waves sparkling and dazzling. Nature opens her motherly embrace and gently hugs and soothes the lonely soul of the wanderer. At this moment, the poet temporarily forgot the sorrow and sadness of the journey, and only felt peaceful and peaceful in his heart.
"The wild shore is flat and sandy, and the mountains are far away and the fog is floating." As the poet's mood suddenly became bright and comfortable, the natural scene also expanded. The poet looked at the endless sandy beach and the overlapping mountain mist from a distance, and he couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy, and he was intoxicated. However, at this moment, "the guest couldn't help feeling sad, looking at the boat returning from the river." A boat appeared on the river. It makes the poet suddenly return to reality and immerse himself in endless homesickness and sorrow.
Lu Shiyong said: "Why avoid seeing beauty by its true color, and those who later pick up the true color will fall short of desire." This can be said to be to the point, and summarizes the aesthetic characteristics of He Xun's creation. It can be seen from this poem "Cong Lao Ji" that He Xun's landscape poems are good at describing the visible natural scenery with beautiful and simple words, and conveying deep and profound feelings about life in them. The People's Party must "speak close to the subject but feel distant" and "only focus on the foreground and spoken words, but have overtones and foreign tastes."
And this is the highest state of Chinese poetry aesthetics. Therefore, He Xun's fresh and timeless landscape poems are deeply loved by people. Although the Qi style of writing was advocated in the Qi and Liang Dynasties, Shen Yue, the leader of the literary world at that time, said that every time he read He's poems, "I couldn't stop reading them day after day." Some later generations of critics even compared He Xun to Xie Tiao, Tao Jun, and Bao. The comparison of photos shows a special appreciation for He's poems.
