Creation background
This poem was written by Song Guangzong Shaoxi in the third year (1 192). At that time, Yang Wanli was appointed as the deputy ambassador of Jiangdong transshipment, based in Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). The "new town" in the poem was a town at that time, located in the northeast of Deqing, Zhejiang, between Lin 'an (Hangzhou, Zhejiang) and Jiankang. Surrounded by land and water, it is the only place for the author to leave Lin 'an for Jiankang or return to Lin 'an from Jiankang to report his work. The author passed by here, stopped for a short time, saw the scenery and felt it, so he wrote this group of poems.
works appreciation
This is a poem describing the pastoral scenery in late spring, depicting a scene full of spring.
The first two sentences, "The hedges are sparse all the way, and the trees are green and shady", point out the happy and naive background of children catching butterflies. There are sparse fences and deep paths on the map, and there are several trees beside the fence. Petals are falling from the branches, the tender leaves have not yet grown, and the spring is full. Fences and paths point out that this is the countryside; "New green is not cloudy" and "cauliflower" in the sentence indicate that it is late spring.
In the last two sentences, "Children are scrambling to catch up with Huang Die, flying into cauliflower, nowhere to be found", crayons turn to the center of the picture, depicting the happy scene of children catching butterflies. "Catch up" and "catch up" mean to run fast and catch up quickly. These two verbs are very vivid, vividly depicting children's innocent and lively, curious and competitive manner and psychology. And "flying into cauliflower is nowhere to be found" will suddenly turn the moving lens into stillness. The word "nowhere to be found" leaves readers room for imagination and aftertaste, as if a child who is at a loss in the face of golden cauliflower emerges in front of him.
The first two sentences about rural scenery are static descriptions; The last two sentences about children and butterflies are dynamic descriptions. In addition to the combination of static and dynamic writing, this poem also uses the technique of line drawing, which is natural and vivid. Yang Wanli, an honest official, was once hated by traitors. After being removed from office, he lived in a village for a long time. He is very familiar with rural life, and his description of nature is very touching and interesting.
This poem reflects the vitality of all things by describing the scenery at the turn of the four seasons in late spring and early summer. The scenery absorbed by the whole poem is extremely dull, and the activities of the characters depicted are also extremely ordinary. However, due to the combination of scenery and characters and the alternate brushwork, it successfully depicts the quiet and natural, quiet and fresh early spring scenery in the countryside. ?
Chen Caizhi, an associate researcher at the Institute of Literature, China Academy of Social Sciences, commented on Yang Wanli's "New Time Xugong Store" and said: Generally speaking, seven-character quatrains, the first two sentences describe scenery, and the last two sentences are freehand brushwork. Those who can draw such four sentences should avoid rigidity and parallelism. From scenery to characters, from static to dynamic, from far to near, Yang Wanli's "Xugong Store in Suxin City" avoids the rigidity and parallelism of the picture. ?
