The first poem (Qingjiang going to the bottom) outlines the heroic character and boldness of vision of the people in Jiangnan water town.
The first sentence "The Qinghe River is deep to the end" describes that the river is green and very clear. Although the water is deep, you can see it at a glance. The poet described a Qingjiang River in simple and concise language, which made people imagine the beauty of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. This poem is written with admiration, showing the love of the people in the water town for their hometown. You can see the green river bottom, which means it is in a calm time. Therefore, this poem serves as a foil for the next sentence describing the wind and waves on the river.
The second sentence, "high waves go straight to the sky", shows the scene of violent winds and waves on the river. Five words have several levels, and none of them are empty. "High" means that this is not an ordinary wave, but a very high wave. The word "straight" vividly shows the sudden rise of high waves and goes straight into the sky. "Overriding the sky" further exaggerates the ferocity of the waves, and countless high waves surge and beat the sky, which will simply overturn and knock it down. Although this sentence does not directly point out the "wind", we can see the image of "wind" from the high waves, feel its momentum and hear its roaring voice. "I am used to living by the lake, and the boat is not empty." The tone is relaxed and plain, but the weight is heavy. Ten words strongly show the courage and courage of the people in the water town who despise the wind and waves and are fearless. They dare to drive a canoe and swim freely in the stormy waves.
Generally speaking, it is necessary to use bold and unconstrained pen and ink to show strong strength. But sometimes, faint language and calm tone can achieve the artistic effect of penetrating the back of the paper. The last two sentences of Chu Guangxi's poem can enlighten readers.
The second poem (Leaning Leaves by a Stream) shows the love life of young men and women in water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Poets are good at grasping the details of characters' actions and showing the joy, enthusiasm and profundity of their love.
The first two sentences describe a young couple swimming happily on the river in a small boat. Sometimes they paddle quickly and chase running water; From time to time, I rocked the boat to the water section full of water shepherd's purse, happily pulling and picking fresh water shepherd's purse leaves; In a flash, they rowed the boat into the depths of reeds along the winding river bank and climbed up the green reeds. A series of actions such as "chasing water", "pulling leaves" and "picking reed seedlings" vividly show the joy and happiness of this lovestruck couple. The poet did not give a static description of the environment, but skillfully led to the scenery of the water town through the activities of couples. This kind of water town scenery with shepherd's purse and gentle reeds creates a poetic atmosphere of lovers' love. The detail of "pulling leaves" also has the magical effect of suggesting that young men and women love each other. The famous sentence Guanju, which describes love in the Book of Songs, has the poem "shepherd's purse flows from left to right, uneven", and uses shepherd's purse to express love. Therefore, the stroke of "pulling leaves" is not only a realistic description of the scenery of the water town, but also a metaphor and symbol.
In three or four sentences, the characters' actions reveal their passionate love. Lovers immersed in happy love suddenly saw a pair of mandarin ducks chasing after them from the upper reaches of the river. The mandarin ducks became a symbol of their love. They don't want anyone to disturb their love, and certainly don't want to scare the couple away. So, with love and joy, they paddled gently and left quietly. This detail is very interesting. It subtly depicts lovers' cherish of beautiful love and expresses their deep love.
Generally speaking, Chu Guangxi's "Jiangnan Qu" is fresh and simple, simple and natural, with true feelings and strong folk flavor. Among his numerous pastoral poems, this group of poems is unique.
The first two sentences of the third poem (in the Yangtze River at sunset), "In the Yangtze River at sunset, invite us to the ferry", point out the time, place and reason. "Crossing the ferry" means crossing the ferry, and "returning to the ferry" means rowing home. The word "inviting each other" renders a warm and happy atmosphere. This is the time when the river winds blow gently and the sun sets. Ships returning late float on this charming river. The young men and women on the boat called each other, and the sound of oars, the sound of water, the cries on the river and the laughter came one after another, interwoven into a cheerful song of coming home late.
The last two sentences, "If the fallen flowers are intentional, canoes come and go", create a beautiful artistic conception. Among the subtle, hidden and elusive feelings of young men and women, these two poems are to express this complex psychology. The poet grasped the characteristic scenery of "before falling flowers" and endowed it with human feelings, thus creating another artistic conception. "Falling Flowers" follow the running water, so although the paddle paddles backwards and the falling flowers come and go, it still follows the boat forward. The poet only added the word "if interested" to make this natural phenomenon of "coming and going by canoe" emotional and poetic. However, this is subjective feeling and imagination after all; Therefore, the word "Ru" seems ordinary, but in fact it is very particular. "If", like also, like also. It not only shows the uncertain psychology, but also reflects the hidden expectation and pursuit. The language is simple, but the implication is profound, which appropriately shows the emotional and psychological state to be expressed in this poem.
In the fourth sentence of this poem, some books are called "boats coming and going". From a poetic point of view, it should be said that "coming and going by canoe" is better. Because, first of all, "one by one" here contains the meaning of "flow", so there is no need to use the word "flow" again; Secondly, because the last sentence says "if you are interested", although it is a boat full of the fruits of a day's labor, it has now become a "canoe", so the color of feelings is more vivid. "canoe" goes fast, and "fallen petal" follows closely without separation, which is also the basis of "if interested" association. Therefore, the last sentence can also be said to be a supplement to the previous sentence, and both sentences should be read at the same time.
The first two sentences of the fourth poem (look at the color of the trees on the other side of the river) are antithetical sentences, and the last two sentences are allusions. In the finger, this used to be the place where boat people lived. This poem uses the allusion of "going far" to express pure love
