The feeling of summer

Su Shunqin

Farewell to the hospital is in midsummer,

Pomegranate is full of curtains.

There are shadows everywhere, it's noon,

Dream (jué) to be a warbler.

The small courtyard is deep in the house with a winding path leading to a secluded place. In this extremely quiet environment, some people have a bamboo mat. The poet lay on it and looked out, only seeing the pomegranate in full bloom, showing its bright charm through the curtain. In midsummer, it is already noon, but the yard is still sunny, cloudy and cold. When I woke up, I only heard one or two warblers coming from the depths of the garden from time to time.

Small and chic, full of fun. Instead of parallel images, the line of sight in the poem is constantly changing: first, the deep yard, then a bright pomegranate tree through the bamboo curtain, then the summer scene in the middle of the sky and under the drooping shade, and finally a wandering warbler wakes up the master's dream and the silence during the nap. The rhythm of poetry is formed through the process of the poet's inner experience, and the vein texture is very fine, which is a feature of Song poetry.

Farewell courtyard: a small courtyard next to the main courtyard.

bamboo mat

Sleep: wake up

Su Shunqin's poem "Summer Meaning" can express a quiet and secluded feeling in the heat of midsummer.

"Farewell hospital is deep in summer, Xia Ming": the word summer indicates the festival, and the words "Farewell hospital", "deep" and "bright" go deeper and deeper, forming a quiet atmosphere from the beginning. The other yard is the small yard next to the main yard. Deep, it is said that this small courtyard is deep in the house, deep in the courtyard, with a winding path leading to a secluded place. In this extremely quiet environment, some people have a bamboo mat. Han Yu's poem "The Gift of Zheng Qun" once described the bamboo mat as "eight feet of wind blowing" and "a clear blow when in doubt". "Summer mat is clear", which means that although it is midsummer, bamboo mats are cold in the depths of the yard. Deep is overlapping, deep and clear, with similar vowels and clear sound quality. This gives people a cool and profound feeling not only from the image of words, but also from the image of music.

"Pomegranates are everywhere, and the curtains are bright": The entrance is covered with Mingxia seats with the word "curtain". The poet was lying on the table, looking outside, only seeing the pomegranate in full bloom, showing its bright charm through the curtain. Han Yu once said, "Liu Hua will shine brilliantly in May" ("Liu Hua"), but the second sentence changed its meaning, but added a heavy curtain. Looking at pomegranate through the curtain, although the bonus is like fire, it is not harsh. Tao Yuanming has a saying: "Love the forest in front of the hall, and store shade in midsummer" (The Book of the Republic of China). The third sentence of this poem is translated from Tao's poem, which says that although it is noon in midsummer, the yard is still clear, gloomy and cool. This sentence contrasts with the previous one. As you can imagine from the "shade everywhere", trees have become forests, not trees, but shade, which makes the yard cool and quiet.

What does the poet do in this quiet environment? It turned out that he had been comforted by the clear scenery in the yard. Although it was noon under the scorching sun, he was fast asleep. When he was "dreaming", he could only hear the crisp rhyme of one or two songbirds coming from the depths of the garden from time to time. It is the sound of warblers rather than orioles, which can not only see the shade of trees, but also reflect the deep tranquility of this small courtyard with the sound of whispering in silence. Tonggong Mountain is more secluded. According to Wang Ji's poem "If you enter Ye Xi" in the Southern Dynasties, Wang Wei's "Wu Xinyi" says: "The birds are surprised when the moon rises, and the spring water rings when the moon rises." The artistic conception of the last sentence is similar to that of two poems.

There is not a sentence in this poem that doesn't touch the summer scenery. Every sentence is full of refreshing meaning, which seems a little embarrassing to read.

The expression of poetry should pay attention to three points: the pen is light and ethereal; Written by the hospital, ink stayed deeply in the hospital; Write pomegranate flowers and then apply curtains; Write green trees, as seen from the clear shade; When writing oriole, you can hear it from crows, and every sentence starts from the air, thus forming a bright and ethereal artistic conception corresponding to daytime and sleep.
