At this time, it is mostly rainy and continuous, which is called "Meiyu season", so the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River is called "Huangmei season". It means early summer, the season when plums in Jiangnan are yellow and ripe.
There is a poem saying that "the desert is light and cloudy, and the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River ripens Huangmei."
Plum is the fruit of plum tree. It tastes sour and it takes a long summer to ripen. The living is blue, called green plum. The ripe one is yellow, called Huangmei.
However, the poem Mei Huang Shi, which we are studying today, rarely has such good weather, and the poet's mood is naturally cool, and the more he swims, the more cool he is.
Today, I want to talk about Zeng Ji Jī (1084-1166), a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, whose real name is Ji Fu, a chashan layman and a native of Ganzhou (now Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province).
The reason why he was named Chashan Jushi is that he has been engaged in the management of tea and salt for several years since he became an official, and his footprints are all over Huaidong and Hubei. Perhaps he has a unique complex about this tea mountain and the stone slope of Huangzhou. After all, he cooks well, and the place where he basks in salt is not as refreshing as Chashan.
His poems are very rich and extensive. Judging from the theme of poetry, there are patriotic poems, peasant poems, Shan Ye's erotic landscape poems, friends' poems and argumentative poems.
Zeng Ji, a poet, is a teacher of Lu You, and he is knowledgeable. His poems pay attention to the refinement of words and sentences, with light poetic style and simple and light language. Chashan Collection is his masterpiece.
Lu You once commented on Zeng Ji in "Epitaph": "Besides studying Confucian classics and Taoism, publishing articles is elegant and pure, with excellent poems." Being recognized and praised by Lu You shows that Zeng Ji is not an idle generation.
Song Dynasty was the time when birth was the most important, but there was a reason why he didn't take part in the imperial examination. Because my brother died in the line of duty, he was able to make progress with kindness and was awarded the rank of General Shi Lang, the lowest civilian idle official, which made Zeng Ji feel very embarrassed.
It was quite easy for the talented once upon a time to get into Jinshi, of course, because there were many Jinshi in his family. However, since you are an official, you must have a well-known background. Otherwise, being an official by Yin En will be looked down upon by some people after all.
As a result, he took the examination of the official department with excellent results and was given a family background. This is no worse than Jinshi. Later, he was promoted to Guo Zizheng, equivalent to the discipline director in a national university, and became a professor in the backyard of Queen Qinci. You know, this kind-hearted queen Chen is not the wife of the emperor, and her birth is not noble, but her son is excellent, and that is later famous.
Poets in the Southern Song Dynasty were generally influenced by the situation, either fighting the main battle or making peace. Of course, there are also people who stay out of it, such as the "Yongjia Four Spirits", a poet who chanted among landscapes and pastoral areas, and Zeng Ji, a hawkish poet, was ousted by Qin Gui for his main battle speech with his brother. Later, he reluctantly became an idle official, only to be reinstated after Qin Gui's death, knowing the state, and then he was authorized to be assistant minister of does, and to communicate with Zuo Tong.
He is also a person who dares to love, hate and tell the truth, especially because he is a clean and good official.
As a local official, he has been to Guangdong and Guangxi many times today, where there are world-famous treasures, such as pearls and rhinoceros horns. However, every time he came back from office, he only had a clean slate and a boatload of books, just like the feat of the Three Kingdoms era. He made three southern tours and nothing went south. This was undoubtedly a clean stream in the Song Dynasty, which advocated luxury at that time.
At the invitation of my friends, I was envious, but when I came back, I didn't have any travel money. This once magistrate's adult is also clean to the extreme.
Zeng Ji is a travel enthusiast. The poem we are learning today was written by him when he visited Sanqu Mountain in Quzhou, Zhejiang.
One day at the end of spring, the poet was walking alone on a country road, and the roadside was picturesque with birds and flowers. The poet felt the unique beauty, so he highlighted the exquisite beauty in this poem and expressed the poet's fresh feelings about the scenery of the journey.
Make an appreciative comment
This poem is a seven-character quatrain once written by poets in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The first sentence of this poem describes the time of travel, the second sentence describes the route of travel, the third sentence describes the beautiful scenery of green shade, and the fourth sentence describes the cry of orioles, adding a few sweet orioles to the roadside green forest, adding endless vitality and interest to the road of Sanqu Mountain.
The whole poem is vivid and natural, full of life charm.
This is a travel poem, vivid and natural, full of life charm. The experience and feelings of writing poems and taking the three winding mountain roads.
When plums are yellow, it is sunny every day.
Sanqu Road: On the way to Sanquzhou. Sanqu is Quzhou, now Qujiang District of Zhejiang Province, named after Sanqu Mountain.
Mei Huangshi: May is the season when plums are ripe.
The first sentence points out the time of the trip. Mei Huangshi is in the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River. It is rare to have such fine weather. The poet's mood is naturally cool, and the more he swims, the more cool he is.
The second sentence means to take a boat along the stream, reach the end of the stream, and then take the mountain road to continue.
The stream overflowed: take a boat to the end of the stream. A stream, a small river ditch. Pam, by boat. End, end.
Queshanxing: Take the mountain road again. However, the meaning of again.
In the second sentence, the poet crossed the stream by canoe, and the stream was endless, so he went ashore and took the mountain road. A word "lack" expresses his soaring wandering complex.
The last two sentences mean that the lush trees on the mountain road are as dense as when they came, and there are several orioles chirping in the depths of the dense forest, which is a little more fun than when they came.
Green shadow: light green shadow. A shady tree.
Not less: not less, almost.
Oriole: oriole.
Three or four sentences are closely related to the "mountain walk", which is written about the thick shade, cool and quiet, suitable for people, and the singing of orioles, which makes the poet feel comfortable and happy.
"Come on the road" quietly transited this trip to the return trip, while the word "Tim De" implied that you were still interested in going home, so you could notice that there was an oriole to help you on your way home, which showed that this idea was clever and tailored.
The author patched together an ordinary trip, which not only described the pleasant scenery in early summer, but also vividly described the poet's happy situation, making people appreciate the interest in ordinary life.
