Notes on the work ⑴ Three days: In ancient times, the Shangsi Festival was held in the first ten days of the third month of the third lunar month. After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, this festival was usually celebrated on the third day of the third month.
⑵ Yonghe: The reign name of Emperor Mu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection" records that on the first day of March in 353 AD (the third year of Yonghe), famous people gathered at the Orchid Pavilion in Shanyin, Kuaiji; the author happened to take a boat to visit friends on the third day, so he used this allusion.
⑶ Peach Blossom Bank: An implicit reference to Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring" to describe Li Jiu as a hermit. [2]
The translation of the work is on March 3rd, when I took a boat to visit a friend who lived by the stream. Because I took a boat to visit my friend on March 3rd, on this day itself, As well as the beautiful scenery in the beautiful season, it is easy to remind people of the past Shanyin Lanting Meeting. The old friend's home lived on the bank of this stream, and there was a peach grove on the bank of the river next to the village.
Appreciation of the work The theme of the poem is very common, and the content is also very simple: On March 3, I took a boat to visit a friend Li who lived by the stream ("Nine" is the ranking of friends). The first sentence describes the starting point of this trip - the scenery at Yanglindongdutou. As the name suggests, you can imagine a patch of green willows growing at this small ferry. When we set off, the spring rain had stopped. After being washed by the spring rain, the willow forest became increasingly green and full of life. This fresh and bright scenery provides a suitable environment and atmosphere for this relaxed and pleasant visit; the water will inevitably rise after the rain, which also prepares the conditions for the next sentence "going on a boat". The second sentence describes the pleasant feelings and poetic associations in the boating stream. Because it was March 3rd to visit friends by boat, this day itself, as well as the beautiful season and beautiful scenery, can easily remind the poet of the famous Shanin Orchid Pavilion meeting in history. The poet specifically highlighted the "Three Days of Yonghe", from which readers can elicit rich associations and paint in their minds a beautiful picture of "bright and clear skies, gentle winds", "luxuriant forests and bamboos, and clear and turbulent streams". , and the joyful scenes of "all the talents have arrived, the young and the old have gathered together", and "the eyes are wandering and the hearts are full, and it is a great audio-visual entertainment". In three or four sentences, transcribe the destination of this trip - the environment and scenery of Lijiuzhuang. My old friend's home lives on the bank of this stream. There is a peach grove on the bank of the river next to the village. At the beginning of March, it is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, which naturally reminds people of Wulingyuan with peach blossoms on the shore. In fact, the author is secretly using the allusion of Peach Blossom Spring here, comparing Li Jiuzhuang to the real Peach Blossom Spring fairyland, but he uses it so naturally and cleverly that people don't realize it. Zhang Xu's "Taohuaji" said: "The peach blossoms follow the flowing water all day long. Where is the hole in the clear stream?" It also uses the Taoyuan canon implicitly. However, Zhang's poem ends with a question, which is endlessly swaying; Chang's poem ends with a direct narrative, which expresses the most vivid emotions. Although the mechanism is the same, the meaning is different. What I said above is to understand the three or four sentences as the scene that the poet saw immediately after arriving at Li Jiuzhuang. This realm and mood are already beautiful enough. But if you look carefully at the word "find" in the title, you feel that the poet has made a small ambush in his conception. The three or four sentences are actually not what you see when you arrive, but your musings about the destination during the boat trip. They are imaginations based on the poetic introduction of his residence by an old friend. The poet has never been to Li Jiuzhuang, but only heard from a friend: Starting from Yanglin Ferry, there is a clear stream that goes directly to the door of his house. There is no need to search hard, as long as you see a peach grove in full bloom, it is the symbol of his house. . This is the origin of the poetic fantasy of "my old friend's house is on the bank of peach blossoms, and the stream flows in front of the door." It can be said that the poetic flavor of this poem is concentrated in the beautiful reverie generated by the friend's prompting to search for it. This kind of reverie adds twists and turns of emotion and meaningful flavor to this poem that was originally easy to write in a straight line, making it more enjoyable to read and chew on.
