Appreciation of "Peach red contains continuous rain, willow green contains spring smoke"

"Peach is full of rain, willow green is more smoky." The latter sentence is like a wisp of spring smoke, but from the perspective of antithesis, it is undoubtedly better to face words. Every word in these two sentences can be aligned, even the function words "fu" and "Geng" can be aligned so neatly. From the aesthetic point of view, red and green are not suitable to be put together, but there is no feeling of color conflict here, which is because the poet's composition is very good.

There are still water drops left on the pink peach petals, which make the flowers more delicate, while the fresh green willows wander in the white morning fog, which is somewhat hazy. Pink peach blossoms, new green willow branches and white morning mist, these shallow colors bring out the breath of spring, but they are not noisy, but give people a quiet feeling.

In this beautiful spring, people living in the mountains are happy and carefree. Even if the birds outside are singing noisily, they are indifferent and still asleep. And his home, I don't know if I didn't see it or if I was afraid to disturb my master, or if I was intoxicated with the beautiful scenery. Although the peach blossoms blown by the wind and rain fell all over the yard, they were still not cleaned.

The petals on the ground, coupled with the crisp sound of warblers, undoubtedly add a bit of "sound outside the painting" to "peach red and willow green" (the origin of this idiom is here), as well as the dynamic beauty under the overall tranquility.

This poem depicts a whole picture of Shan Jutu after the spring rain. However, after reading the poem, do you think this picture is familiar? Meng Haoran has a poem: "I wake up in this bright spring morning, surrounded by birds singing." But now I think of that night, that storm, I don't know how many flowers were folded? " Although Meng Haoran is another "master" of the pastoral school, his actual position is far from that of Wang Wei.

As far as the theme of poetry is concerned, Meng Haoran's vision is too narrow. As far as poetry genre is concerned, Meng Haoran is only good at writing five-character poems, and the few seven-character poems are pitiful. So Meng Haoran has many limitations. Of course, Meng Haoran can win the admiration of Li Bai, which shows that he can achieve such a position with five-character pastoral poems, which is also very good.

Original poem:

Seven pastoral songs six/seclusion in Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei

Hearts also contain fresh rain overnight, green willows and a touch of spring smoke.

The children at home have not been driven away, and the oriole singing the song of idleness is still sleeping.

Explanation:

Red peach blossoms still contain fresh rain all night, and green wicker has faint spring smoke.

The petals fell, the children at home didn't clean up, and the oriole fell asleep with a leisurely mountaineer.

Extended data:

Pastoral Music is a group of poems composed of seven six-character quatrains. The author lived in seclusion in Wangchuan Villa, in order to enjoy the pleasure of being close to nature, so the title is "Six Words of Wangchuan", and this poem is one of them. This poem is Wang Wei's later work. In Wang Wei's later poems, he mainly described his leisurely and secluded life in Zhong Nanshan and Wangchuan.

This is meticulous brushwork, drawing meaning from the scenery. In Meng's poems, the poet didn't realize that he was awake, listening to the birds singing outside the window and imagining how many flowers would fall after a night of spring rain; In Wang's poem, peach blossoms are everywhere, birds are singing everywhere, but the poet is still asleep. Wang's poems are full of idle people, while Meng's poems are slightly sad.

Meng's poems are "dynamic" and Wang's poems are "static", which is still their consistent difference. We need to thank these two pastoral poets, who fully demonstrated their poetic talents on the same "poem topic", showed us different styles of pastoral poetry, and set two examples for later pastoral poets.
