The Beauty of Words and Sentences in Classical Poetry (2)

2, the so-called light, refers to the elegant tone, plain language. However, in the view of Ge, a poetic theorist in the Song Dynasty, this realm is not easier than richness, or even higher than magnificence? Without ancient and modern poetry, it is difficult to create plain poetry? He also expounded the process of achieving dullness: generally, if you want dullness, you must come from the group. Fall into the fragrance of flowers, and then you can create a dull environment? (Autumn Rhyme). If we don't start with beauty and cultivate guidance, it will be bland or bland.

Meng Haoran, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was a master of pursuing plain poetic style, and his "Crossing the Old Village" was awarded by Wen Yiduo. Too pale to see the poem? Best (Meng Haoran):

This old friend prepared a delicious meal and invited me to his hospitable farm.

Green Woods surround the village and green hills are located outside the city.

Open the window facing the valley vegetable garden and pass the glass to talk about crops.

Please come here to see chrysanthemums when the ninth festival comes.

Say it is a poem, more like a diary. In clean language, I told the story of being a guest at a farmer's house. There is not an exaggerated word in the whole poem, and there is not an unreasonable word. It is really too light to read the poem. However, as Shen Deqian pointed out, Meng Shi? Is the language bland? (Tang Poetry). This seemingly plain poem is actually very poetic: the first two sentences? Prepare chicken and rice for me, old friend. Will you entertain me on your farm? There is no exaggeration in the text, which seems simple and casual. In fact, this is the way of communication between informal friends. The hearts of friends are open to each other, and there is no need for ceremony and etiquette. Triple? We open your window, overlook the garden and fields, and talk about Sang Ma with cups in our hands? The seemingly casual description of the farm environment and the dialogue between the host and the guest actually outline the pastoral scenery with an ancient and elegant brushwork, which makes us smell the soil and farmers. Tail joint? Wait until the mountain is on holiday, and I'll come back at chrysanthemum time? More affectionate: the host's warm invitation again and the guests' unpretentious and frank agreement once again prove that there is no need to be polite between close friends, which also shows the pleasure and harmony of this visit. Besides, poets are not dull, but also have well-structured poems, such as couplets? We look at the green trees around your village and the pale blue of the distant mountains? Two sentences. These two sentences have been carefully arranged in composition: the last sentence is a close-up, surrounded by green trees, unique and particularly quiet; The next sentence is a vision, accompanied by Guo Waiqing Mountain, so that the village for the elderly is not lonely or empty. Judging from the wording, close? And then what? Tilt? Especially exquisite in place. It not only gives the static green mountains and green waters a sense of movement, but also seems to deliberately care for this ancient village. Still crossing? Close? In other words, you can see the beautiful sight of trees around your old friend's village. Tilt? The characters not only depict the posture of Qingshan, but also show the guests looking up at the mountain through the porch window, and their pastoral beauty and joy are all in it. There is deep feeling and poetry in plain, which makes this song? Too pale to see the poem? Lao Guo Ren Zhuang has become one of the most touching masterpieces in China's classical poetry.

His "Spring Dawn" seems more prosaic, because it even looks like? We look at the green trees around your village and the pale blue of the distant mountains? There is no such occasional delicate antithesis:

Sleeping sickness in spring unconsciously broke the morning, and the chirping of birds disturbed my sleep.

How many flowers fall after a stormy night.

This is a must for primary and junior high school Chinese textbooks in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, probably because it is easy to understand. But there is a lot of flavor in it: the poet seized the moment when he woke up from his spring sleep, showed the infinite vitality of nature in the early morning of spring, and cherished the beautiful things more. Although the language is plain and natural, its charm is mellow and profound. Su Shi summed up Meng Haoran's poetic style? Wool fibers are only sent in simple and ancient times, and the taste is indifferent? This article can bear witness.

Finally, it must be pointed out that blandness and richness are contradictory, but they complement each other. Can clever poets use them? Thick? , can it still be used? Light? , such as Bai Juyi, both? Don't ask for high palace rhythm, don't ask for strange words? Easy-to-understand new Yuefu, as well as exquisite and deliberately forged Song of Eternal Sorrow and Pipa. Li Shangyin's untitled poems are affectionate, rich and delicate, while his political lyric poems such as "Hundred Rhymes in the Western Suburb" and "Learning from the East" are popular and straightforward, with little modification. Sometimes even in a poem, it is often mixed with shades, mixed and used, and even Meng Haoran's? Too pale to see the poem? Is it also in "Passing through the Old Village"? We look at the green trees around your village and the pale blue of the distant mountains? Such a subtle opposition. Another example is Du Fu's Ode to Monuments (Part III):

Thousands of mountains and valleys are close to Jingmen, and girls grow up in Sri Lanka.

She came out of the purple palace and entered the desert. Now she has become a green grave in the yellow dusk.

Her face! Can you imagine the spring wind? Back to the soul in the moonlight.

The Tatar song on her jade guitar tells her eternal sadness.

This poem was written in Kuizhou, which is the creative period with the greatest change in Du Fu's poetic style. The poem sings the well-known story of Zhao Jun's departure from the fortress. The poet used Zhao Jun's resentment of being far away from his home country to pin his thoughts on his long-term wandering home country in the war. The first two sentences of the poem are fu style, and the popular and clear narrative can be described as dull; At the end, the resentment against Zhao Jun is also unadorned and clear. What can these four sentences be attributed to? Light? ; The four sentences in the middle are exquisite in language and colorful, and their images and thoughts are well thought out: purple plug, desert, green tomb and dusk are four different images and four different colors, which constitute Zhao Jun's endless sadness of leaving his hometown and dying in a foreign country. In terms of wording, Zhu Han, a person of A Qing Dynasty, once pointed out: Even? Write the blocked scene in words. Where to? Is there a god in writing about Han's missing heart? ("Du Shi Jie Yi") is indeed carefully forged. Below? Painting? The two sentences are divided into couplets to further write Zhao Jun's life experience and feelings of home and country. ? Painting? Followed by the third sentence, it is pointed out that the fatuity of the Han and Yuan emperors caused Zhaojun? She came to the desert from the purple palace? ; ? Pei Huan? The fourth sentence, after the death of Zhaojun, although the tomb remained beyond the Great Wall, the soul returned to his hometown on a moonlit night. In terms of structure, the poet adopted the sharing method mentioned above, but in terms of words and sentences, it is sad and moving through imagination and metaphor! These four sentences, without comments, come entirely from images, let? She is now a green grave in the yellow dusk? 、? Back in the air, moonlit souls? Zhao Jun's tragic image left an indelible impression on readers. In terms of words, it can be described as a combination of light and shade.

Han Yu's answer to Zhang Eleven is also light and thick in wording:

The mountain is clean, the river is empty and the sand is visible. There are two or three places where apes cry.

I compete for slender bamboo shoots, and I spend a lot of time with gorgeous flowers.

Mo Lingyan lost her official position and did not report her death.

Look at the temple after reciting the poem, and add half a cream hair.

The first verse of a poem? The mountain is clean, the river is empty, the water is sand, and there are two or three places to cry. What about the tail? Look at your sideburns after reciting the poem, and add half a cream hair? They all use fu style, which is easy to understand and can be described as plain. Repeatedly? Striving for beauty and slender bamboo shoots, blooming colorful flowers leisurely? Used to describe; Neck chain? Mo Lingyan's career was ruined by failure to report. Is it lyrical? Is it phrased? Thick? It is almost the same as Du Fu's Ode to a Monument (the third song).
