"Spring Dawn" Appreciation/Appreciation
"Spring Dawn" is a small poem that seems to be ordinary at first reading. However, after repeated reading, you will feel that there is a world of difference in the poem. Its artistic charm does not lie in the gorgeous rhetoric or the unique artistic techniques, but in its charm. The style of the whole poem is as simple and natural as flowing clouds and flowing water, yet it is far-reaching, profound and uniquely wonderful. For thousands of years, people have recited and discussed it, as if this short four-line poem contains endless artistic treasures.
If it is natural and has no rhythm, it will be shallow; if it has no ups and downs, it will lose its straightness. "Spring Dawn" has both beautiful charm and ups and downs in writing, so the poem has a lasting flavor. The poet wants to express his love for spring, but he does not explain it fully or thoroughly, "the door is half open to the wind", allowing readers to guess and guess, and the expression is full of hidden twists and turns.
"Love outside the words is said to be hidden, and the appearance overflowing is said to be beautiful." (quoted by Zhang Jie's "Suihantang Poetry") When writing about love, the poet selected the emotional fragments in the moment when he fell asleep in the morning to describe . This fragment is the beginning and budding stage of the poet's ideological activities. It is the most generative moment that allows people to imagine the development of his emotions. The poet seizes this moment, but does not unfold it. He just reveals his thoughts to the readers, leads the readers to the track of his emotions, and then leaves it alone. The rest is for the readers to follow the poet's thinking. direction to enrich and supplement. When describing the scene, he only chose one side of spring. Spring has charming colors and intoxicating fragrance, but poets don't even write about it. He only wrote from the perspective of hearing, writing about the sounds of spring: the birds singing everywhere, the wind and rain. The sound of birds is gentle, sweet and beautiful. Adding the word "everywhere", the chirping rises and falls, and the chirps respond to each other from far and near, which makes people feel like they are on a mountain vagina and overwhelmed by everything. The spring breeze and spring rain fall one after another, but on the quiet spring night, the rustling sound also makes people imagine the melancholy mood like smoke and dreams, and the new appearance of the flowers after the light rain. These are just what the poet heard indoors, but the bursts of spring sounds teased the boundless spring scenery, leading the readers to the vast nature, allowing the readers to imagine and appreciate the gorgeous spring scenery with the fragrance of warblers and flowers.

In the poem "Visiting the Garden Is Not Worth It" by Ye Shaoweng of the Song Dynasty, "The garden is full of spring scenery and cannot be contained, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall" is a famous line that has been recited from ancient to modern times. In fact, the writing method is quite similar to "Spring Dawn". Ye's poem uses a visual image, a branch of red apricot sticking out of the wall, to lead people into the wall and let people imagine the inside of the wall; Meng's poem uses an auditory image, through the bursts of spring sounds, to lead people outside the house and let people imagine the outside. . With only a few light strokes, he wrote about the prosperous spring mood of sunny days and odd rains. Both poems show that the exuberant spring spirit cannot be stopped. Look, doesn't it break through the walls and walls, appear in front of your eyes, and linger in your ears?
Shi Buhua said: "Poems are also literary, so avoid direct and noble music." ("Poetry of Xian Maid") This little poem only has four lines and twenty characters, but it is written with twists and turns. Twists and turns. The first sentence breaks the title. The word "spring" points out the season and writes about the sweetness of spring sleep. "Unconsciously" means hazy and unconsciously. In this warm spring night, the poet slept so soundly that he woke up from his sweet dream only when the rising sun stood by the window. It reveals the poet's joyful mood of loving spring. The second sentence writes about spring scenery and the singing of birds in the spring morning. "Everywhere" means everywhere. Birds are noising on the branches, creating a lively scene. "Hearing the singing bird" means "hearing the singing of the bird". In order to rhyme, the word order of the ancient poem has been appropriately adjusted. The three sentences turn into memories, and the poet recalls last night's misty spring rain. The last sentence comes back to the present, thinking of the scene of spring flowers being blown by wind and rain, and falling red all over the ground. From rejoicing in spring to cherishing spring, the poet places his emotions of loving and cherishing spring on the sigh of falling flowers.
To love and cherish the spring is to cherish the spring - the misty spring rain also caused the poet to worry about the flowers and trees. The jump of time, the alternation of cloud and sunshine, and the subtle changes of emotions are all very interesting and can bring endless interest to people.
