3. Appreciation
This poem is a poem written by Zhang Yan when he revisited the West Lake after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty. From a formal point of view, it is "new wine in old bottles", borrowing the impression of the West Lake. This old topic expresses the painful feeling of the country's subjugation. "Yi Heng Guan Ci Selections" quoted Mai Ru Boy as saying that "the sound of the country's subjugation is sad to think about." "It's as thick as it is".
The last sentence begins with a sentence describing the beautiful scenery in the depth of spring, which is peaceful and soothing. "The orioles pick up the leaves in the nest, and the smooth waves roll up the catkins", starting from the description of the scenery, using a gentle style to write about the depth of spring. Scenery. The first sentence of Zhang's poem is adapted from Du's poem "The orioles are nesting in the dark leaves". In the dense leaves, the orioles are using the song to express the meaning of "flat waves rolling catkins", describing the light catkins floating in the water and being swept into the water by microwaves. The "Broken Bridge" is called Duanjiaqiao. It is located between the Inner Lake and the Outer Lake. There are many willows planted there, making it a good place for sightseeing. What Zhang Yan wrote here is exactly what Duanjia Bridge is about. "Returning to the boat" at the beginning of the evening. The boat is still the same, but the mood is no longer the same. "How many more trips can I take?" It’s next year to see the flowers again. "It points out that the good times and beautiful scenery are still there, but it is the end of spring. The flowers will wither soon, and we have to wait for next year. The sadness of "spring is gone" pervades my chest, so I have to keep spring. "The east wind will accompany the roses", which means Said: Dongfeng, please live with the roses. And the blooming of roses indicates that spring is coming to an end. "The spring is gone, and it will be ruined by wind and rain in a blink of an eye." "It's even more sad, with thousands of green trees and a wisp of desolate smoke. "Although spring has not returned yet, the bank of Xiling Bridge is already a shocking desolation. The writing is just hearty, but it turns to sadness. Xiling Bridge is a "prosperous place of smoke and willows, a gentle and wealthy town", but now only "A touch of desolate smoke", the contrast between the present and the past has touched upon the theme of expressing the pain of national subjugation.
Xia Qian's writing is inspiring. "This sentence is a substitute for Liu Yuxi's poem: "In the old days, the king Xietang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. "This word further illuminates his thoughts about his homeland based on Liu's poems. "Wei Qu" was the residence of Webster in the Tang Dynasty. It was in the south of Chang'an City. "Xiechuan" was located in Xingzi County, Jiangxi. Tao Yuanming once wrote "Visiting Xiechuan" The poem here refers to the place where literati visited and gathered by the West Lake. "The moss is deep" and "the grass is dark" describe the desolate and desolate state of the place. Only a patch of moss and wild grass can be seen in the past. The old nest. And it’s not just that: “When I see new sorrows, I also come to the gulls.” The poet secretly used two lines from Xin Qiji: “Clap your hands and laugh at the gulls, and your whole body is filled with sorrow.” "It means that even the leisurely gulls have new worries. The reason why the white gulls are white all over seems to be caused by "sorrow", so they often use the white heads of the sand gulls to express the depth of their sorrow. "Wuxin" "Continue to play music and dream again, hide the heavy door, get drunk and sleep leisurely." These two sentences not only express the current tiredness and frustration, but also point out his past identity: a noble prince and a hermit. "Don't open the curtains, for fear of seeing flying flowers and hearing cries. cuckoo. "Opening the curtain" corresponds to "closing the door", "flying flowers" corresponds to "rolling catkins", and "cuckoo" corresponds to "nest warbler", echoing from beginning to end, creating a sad atmosphere of flowers fluttering in the wind and cuckoos crying blood. Zhang Yan This word ends with the sound of a bird, which gives the word a sad and sad cry of cuckoo, with lingering sound, which has a very good artistic effect.
This is a chant about the late spring scene. Words. Writing about the scenery in spring is real writing, but writing about the pain of the country's subjugation is virtual writing. It can be said to be "depressing and profound". .
Zhang Yan is a poet of the graceful school. His thoughts about his motherland are not poured out directly, but he adopts a non-explicit approach. To express it euphemistically, "Afraid of seeing flying flowers and hearing cuckoos". The composition of this poem is rigorous and has the tendency of natural flow. However, the lyrics are too implicit, which reflects the weakness of his thoughts to a certain extent.
4. Translation
The warbler picks up the leaves from the nest, the flat waves roll up the catkins, and the boat returns to the ship in the slanting sun across the broken bridge. I can travel several times and see the flowers again next year. The east wind accompanies the rose, and when it comes to the rose, spring is already pitiful. Even more sad. Thousands of green Xiling, a touch of desolate smoke.
The orioles live in their nests among the dense leaves, and catkins fall gently on the lake. The setting sun is almost dim, and there are boats returning home at the broken bridge. How many more spring outings can there be? Flower viewing will have to wait until next year. Let the spring breeze accompany the roses, because by the time the roses bloom, the spring scenery will be very pitiful. It makes people feel even more miserable. Hidden in the green bushes, the Xiling Bridge was so lively and noisy in the past, but now only a touch of desolate and cold dusk smoke remains.
In those days, the swallows knew where it was, but the moss was deep in the Weiqu and the grass was dark in the sloping river. Seeing and talking about new sorrows, now I am also at the gull's side. I have no intention of continuing my dream of playing music and singing, hiding the heavy door and sleeping lightly drunk. Don't open the curtains, for fear of seeing flying flowers or hearing the cuckoo's song.
The swallows that once inhabited the Zhumen mansion are flying to nowhere now. In the past, the scenic places were covered with moss everywhere, and the weeds covered the pavilions and railings. Even the white gulls who were leisurely had their hair turned white due to the new sorrow. I no longer have the desire to relive the old dream of indulgence and joy. I just close the doors of my house tightly, drink some wine and sleep alone. Please don't open the curtains, I'm afraid of the sound of flying flowers, and even more afraid of the sad sound of the cuckoo singing.
