The first of these two quatrains is about the daily life in the countryside, the second is about the rural scenery, and the third is about neighborhood relations. "Tobacco" gives readers a slightly hazy cyan look. "Connect": connect. The neighbor's house and Fang Weng are connected by a "tobacco" path like a jade belt. The path is covered with mulberry trees, and the shade protects people. "Xian" means that the path is winding and "the winding path leads to a quiet place", and the first two sentences describe the scenery outside the house. The last two sentences describe people and extend into the house. Tao's poems are natural and true to nature, comfortable and elegant, and they are somewhat similar when read while lying down. If you read the final volume of Tao's poems, it will be a good mood. However, before the end of the scroll, I took advantage of the light rain and went away with a hoe again, and it even had the charm of pottery. Leisure is leisure, but there is also the pressure of life in leisure. Later in the spring, the hoofs of birds chirp, urging people to work on the crops, and the water-cooled seedlings are tender and tender, creating a spring scene. The sentence "Xingbai" is interrupted and opened, highlighting the kindness of the neighbor's father in the last sentence. The former is a meticulous painting, while the latter is a rough outline, just to express the idea. The language is simple and clear, the artistic conception is long, and it has the legacy of Tao Yuanming.
Due to the aesthetic poeticization of Zen teachings such as emptiness of things, disregard of life and death, and respect for mind and nature, Fei Ming often touches daily life with an appreciation in his poems, and has "no intention" of tragic themes. , even though it has no choice but to encounter tragic themes such as poverty, sorrow, illness, and death, the tragic atmosphere has become much thinner and more detached due to the use of downplaying methods. This is most clearly expressed and typical in the poet's poem "Little Garden" about death and life and death. The "grave" that appears in the poem is a beautiful scenery created by Feiming alone. The poet said in the article "Chinese Articles" that "Chinese poets are good at writing scenery, but there are no good poems about 'graves'." In order to change this literary fact, he is particularly good at writing about graves. For example, he wrote this in the novel "The Bridge" Family graves, visiting graves during the Qingming Festival, etc., as for Shili graves, there are even more images. In "Small Garden", which sings about love and death, the contradiction between the "happyness" of "something to send" and the "sorrow" of "unable to send" in the opening chapter seems to make the poem sad and lingering. It is really emotional. You want to send but can't. , if you don’t send it, you can’t let “Yi” appreciate the “belovedness” of the flower. Isn’t this a very sad thing for people? When it comes to "I can't even name my flower", the whole poem has already escaped personal sadness and joy. The flower with name and reality has become the abstraction of "nothing". If love lasts for a long time, why love to the limit? Send flowers, and if you don’t send them, you’ve sent them. "Grave" here can be understood as a flower or a small garden. It is connected with red flowers and green gardens. It not only has a wonderful and benevolent image, but also embodies a Zen-style view of death that is different from the ancient grave poems, making it desolate and lonely. The image glows with lush vitality. The poet's way of writing also corresponds to Zen's way of thinking about understanding things that are too mysterious and thinking about incredible things, revealing that things in the world that seem false are often real, and things that seem like nothing are often there. Because from the perspective of Zen Buddhism, emptiness is reality, smallness is bigness, and if you don’t give in to nature, you will give up; there is no difference between life and death, life is death, death is life, and death is immortal. “Forgetfulness of life and death is the true nature.” "Death is the best decoration of life, and death is the spiritual homeland of mankind that will never return.
It turns out that the poem "Little Garden" expresses a kind of Zen philosophy and enlightenment!
