2 Thoughts after reading "Pat the Railing All Over"
The phrase "Pat the Railing All Over" comes from Xin Qiji's "Shui Long Yin". Wang Pizhi of the Song Dynasty recorded it in "Mianshui Yan Tan Lu", Liu Mengjie, who was "at odds with the world", often stood quietly on the railing, thinking about worldly affairs, lamenting to himself, or slapping the railing with his hands. There is a poem that says: "Studying has delayed me for forty years, and I have been drunk several times and slapped the railing." Therefore, "beating all over the railing" often means tapping the railing to vent the unspeakable depression and anguish in the heart. The author believes that the most appropriate title for Xin Qiji's statue is "Photograph all over the railings." In the deafening sound of the poet slapping the railings all over, we read Xin Qiji's real complex mood: dissatisfaction, resentment, anxiety, chagrin, impatience, waiting, longing...
This is a story In this essay with the nature of character commentary, the author creates for us the image of Xin Qiji, a powerful but ill-fated patriotic poet, and reveals the process and reasons of how Xin Qiji became a patriotic poet from a patriot.
The first paragraph of the article is the summary of the full text. It tells readers that the full text is to explore how Xin Qiji became a patriotic poet from a patriot, and how this process determined his poetry, His own uniqueness and unique position in the history of literature. The author first places Xin Qiji in the context of Chinese history, seizes his characteristics of "starting things with force, and finally turning to literature as a career", highlighting his "uniqueness" and "uniqueness" in the history of Chinese literature ".
The main part of the article is written by interweaving the introduction of Xin Qiji's life experiences and the evaluation of his poetry creation.
When introducing Xin Qiji's life experiences, the author mainly focuses on the following experiences:
First, his military experience. This introduction is full of magic. He single-handedly chased down the seal-stealing thief. He jumped into the enemy camp with a leaping horse and crossed his sword to capture the traitor general alive. He looked like a strong-blooded, brave and good warrior. Who among the great writers in Chinese history had such ability?
The second is his experience as an official. The author used data to make this introduction: "He lived as a subject of the Southern Song Dynasty for 45 years, but was idle for nearly 20 years. During the more than 20 years of being used intermittently, he was frequently transferred 37 times." The author objectively analyzes the various reasons why Xin Qiji was not liked by the court after returning to the south:
First, he loved the country, the people, and the court too much, so the court was afraid of him, annoyed him, and avoided using him. ;
Secondly, he worked very seriously and was a workaholic, so he attracted a lot of slander. He was even said to be dictatorial and guilty, so the emperor used him sometimes and abandoned him;
Others Third, he loves to give opinions. For 45 years, he kept writing letters, nagging, and demanding that the bandits be killed and the lost territory be recovered. How could this not upset the Lord and the peaceful court? These characteristics of Xin Qiji are all advantages and great advantages in today's eyes, but in the eyes of the court at that time, they became shortcomings that upset them and were intolerable shortcomings. So he could only slap the railings and recite poems to express his hatred.
The third is his mental journey. From a hero on the battlefield longing for the military camp, to a wanderer who is worried about the country questioning the sky, from the heartache of "the golden cup is missing, the moon is not full, the mountains and rivers are broken", to the feeling of "hard work, sorrow and hardship, always bitter and hard work" Internal pain, there are tragic shouts, regretful sighs, and helpless self-deprecation.
When introducing Xin Qiji’s life experiences, the author cites eight of his poems. Almost all of these poems are representative works of Xin Qiji. When quoting these poems, the author neither quotes them in detail nor elaborates on them. Instead of adding appreciation, he made a precise comment based on the fate of the characters. The author first summarizes Xin Qiji's helplessness from the military experience to abandoning the army and taking up writing: "After returning to the south, he immediately lost the steel sword in his hand, leaving only a soft brush, and he never had the chance to run on the battlefield, bloody The clothes are splashed, but the pen can only run away, and the paper is shed with tears, leaving behind a series of tragic shouts, regretful sighs and helpless self-mockery for history. "There are "steel swords" and "soft pens". There is a contrast between "running on the battlefield" and "running around with pen". We can also truly feel the author's sympathy and regret for the poet through words such as "only left" and "tears shed".
The author mainly comments from the perspective of the content of the lyrics and the readers' feelings. When quoting "Po Zhenzi", the author said "I feel an awe-inspiring murderous aura and majestic momentum"; quoting "Water Dragon Song" At that time, the author said, "What Xin Qiji issued here was a cry of sorrow"; when quoting "Bodhisattva Barbarian", the author explained that "he only has one heart disease: the golden pot is missing, the moon is not full, the mountains and rivers are broken, and his heart is uneasy"; quoting "Forever" When "Encountering Joy", the author reminds readers that Xin Qiji is "laughing at his own name"; when quoting "Touching Fish", the author laments: "When we read it today, every word is surprising, making you feel like it is just a drop of blood, or "It's a line of tears"; when quoting "Shui Diao Ge Tou", he also tells us that Xin Qiji is "chewing his own loneliness"; when quoting two "Ugly Slave", he seems to be talking about the style of poetry, but still reveals that Xin Qiji's poetry "is indifferent" The artistic beauty contains the characteristics of profound political and life philosophy. A few words, one to the point.
The main part of the article cleverly integrates the character's own fate, the work, the author's reading experience and comments, making it interesting to read.
The last part of the article is the last section. The author points out the reason for the title "Pat the railings all over" and responds to the beginning, revealing that Xin Qiji changed from a patriot to a "sighing man" , is also a good poem" the reason why the patriotic poet matured.
The comments in this paragraph are very vivid. What about "nine steaming and nine drying", what "boiling and frying", what "thousands of tempers", Xin Qiji's success in the field of lyrics was completely "forced" . The "mistake" of history destroyed a brave warrior, but made him a poet for the ages.
This is a masculine character commentary prose, and there are many things worth learning from in writing:
