1. "Miscellaneous Poems" Wang Weijun comes from your hometown, you should know the things in your hometown . In the future, the plum blossoms will bloom in front of the beautiful window.
2. Comments ① When the coming day comes. ② The beautiful window: the window with carved patterns. ③ Has the flower blossomed yet? ( zhuó) flower, blossom. Used at the end of a sentence, it is equivalent to "no", expressing a question ④ Selected from "Wang Wei's Annotations"
3. Translation: You have just come from our hometown. You must understand the world of people in your hometown. When you came, was the wintersweet flower blooming in front of the carved window of my house?
4. The lyrical protagonist in the poem ("I", not necessarily The author) is a person who has been in a foreign land for a long time. When he suddenly meets an old friend from his hometown, the first thing that arouses is naturally a strong homesickness and a desire to understand the scenery and people in his hometown. The first two sentences are exactly like this. The form that is unmodified and close to the natural state of life vividly expresses the feeling of "my". The repeated use of the word "hometown" expresses the nostalgia of homesickness: "should know" and so on, the trace is close. However, he showed his eagerness to understand local affairs and revealed a child-like innocence and kindness. He only used line drawings to express his feelings, psychology, expression, tone, etc. in a specific situation. Lifelike, this is actually a very frugal writing.
5. Regarding "hometown affairs", there can be a long list of questions. Wang Ji in the early Tang Dynasty wrote an article "Thinking of My Hometown in Beijing." "Ask a Countryside", from old friends and children, clan brothers and nephews, new trees in the old garden, the width of the thatched house, the density of the willow rows, all the way to the fruit trees and flowers in the courtyard, the meaning is still unfinished, "I just want to ask"; and this poem The "I" in the poem puts aside these things and asks the other person alone: ??Will the winter plum blossoms bloom in front of the beautiful window tomorrow? It seems that the winter plum blossoms in my hometown are worth remembering. This is quite unnatural, but it is unnatural. It’s not a pretense.
6. A person’s nostalgia for his hometown is always connected with the people, things, and things that are closely related to his past life. The so-called "homesickness" is completely the same. This kind of "image thinking" means that what appears in the minds of homesick people are all specific images or pictures. The relatives and friends in the hometown, the mountains and rivers, the local customs and customs are all worth remembering, but sometimes it is some sights that cause affectionate nostalgia. It is a very ordinary and trivial love story, the winter plum in front of the window is an example. It may contain the intimate and interesting love story of the family life at that time. Therefore, this winter plum is no longer an ordinary natural object, but has become a part of the hometown. kind of symbol. It has been poeticized and typified. Therefore, this winter plum has naturally become the concentrated sustenance of "my" homesickness. Understood in this sense, it is completely in line with the logic of life to ask "the winter plum blossoms have bloomed yet".
7. Such simple and plain works with rich poetic flavor are often found in ancient poetry. It is so simple that it seems to use no skills, but in fact it contains the most advanced skills. Like the question about the cold plum blossoms in this poem, it can be seen as a typification technique through special expression, but this technique is embodied in a form that is as plain and simple as describing homely things. This is what is called combining cleverness with simplicity. Wang Ji's poem "Asking about the Countryside in Jingsi's Hometown" may be more simple than this poem, but the artistic power of its series of questions is far less than Wang Wei's question. Isn’t the message in it something to ponder deeply?
8. "You come from your hometown, you should know the things about your hometown." This sentence seems to be asking about the situation in your hometown, but the poet only uses "hometown things" in general to ask the question, but what should you ask? ? The poet was so full of questions that he didn't know where to start. So we can imagine the poet's hesitation and the other party's surprise. "Will the winter plum blossoms bloom in front of the beautiful window tomorrow?" This question confused the other party. He didn't ask about people and things, but asked about things. At this time, have the plum blossoms bloomed? Readers must also find this surprising. But it is precisely this question that is so interesting and memorable. In fact, the real purpose of the poet is not the plum blossom. The poet doesn't know where to start with what he wants to say and the questions he wants to ask. His longing for his hometown is actually in this casual question. This is the blank space left by the poet for readers to imagine.
9. This is an unusual image of a wanderer. Although he has gone through many vicissitudes of life, he still maintains a free-spirited spirit that transcends the world. In this way, the poet's purpose of writing this poem is obvious: he is praising a style of life that, although it has gone through many vicissitudes of life, is never sophisticated and always maintains a free mentality.
