Jasper is dressed as a tree, and

ten thousand green silk tapestries hang down.

I wonder who cut the fine leaves?

the spring breeze in February is like scissors.

Appreciation of He Zhizhang's Poetry

Poetry is a sound painting and painting is a silent poem-this is the common pursuit of classical poets and painters. Although He Zhizhang is not a painter, his poem "Chanting Willow" is like a frame of meticulous painting hanging in the ancient art hall of the motherland. Although it has been eroded by thousands of years, its artistic charm remains unchanged.

in the first two sentences, "Jasper is dressed as a tree, and ten thousand green silk tapestries hang down", and when I put pen to paper, I used novel metaphors to describe the beautiful appearance of Biliu in the spring breeze. The willow branches are green and bright in color, as if carved by jasper. The dense willow branches are tender and light, drooping and graceful in the spring breeze, dancing in the wind like thousands of green ribbons. The last two sentences are "I wonder who cut the thin leaves?" In February, the spring breeze is like scissors, and the "spring breeze" is compared to "scissors" with a unique imagination and a unique metaphor. It is also imagined that this thin leaf is cut by a skillful craftsman. It is more vivid to draw the metaphor that the spring breeze is like scissors with questions, and at the same time, the questions also hide the subject of cutting the spring, which is attractive to appreciate the dexterity and wisdom of nature's creators in chanting.

The artistic conception of the combination of reality and fiction is also an important factor for the success of "Singing Willow". Poetry takes extraordinary pen as a vivid portrayal of things and obtains the artistic effect of the combination of reality and reality. The first two sentences are basically real writing, although there is a virtual pen, they are still artistic images that are rich in life basis and tempered from real life; The wonderful comparison of the last two sentences about the spring breeze cutting fine leaves is actually a close-up lens, which vividly reveals the close relationship between the "spring breeze" and the green willow, and the virtual and the real are born together. It is precisely because the reality is decent and full of philosophy that the sentence "Spring breeze in February is like scissors" has become a famous sentence that has been passed down through the ages.
