Rural travel
The horse crossed the chrysanthemum and crossed the mountain road, leaving the horse to walk freely.
Listen to the sound of thousands of valleys at night and watch some peaks silent in the sunset.
The leaves of huanghuali are as red as rouge, and the fragrance of buckwheat flowers is as white as snow.
Why are you so melancholy? The original tree of the village bridge looks like my hometown.
During the relegation period, ancient literati were inevitably depressed, but they got rid of the complicated forms and could indulge in scenic spots. In remote places, beautiful nature can best stabilize and move people's hearts. The natural beauty of Shangzhou brought great comfort to Wang Yucheng. He once laughed at himself in the poem "Listening to the Spring": "All my life's poems are mountains and rivers, and I won't know it is victory until I rise." After a long time, the beauty of a landscape gradually melted into his poems and became a moving poem in harmony with nature. This poem is the artistic crystallization of his spiritual dialogue with the good natural scenery.
The first two sentences explain the time, place, people and things. The season is autumn, which is indirectly explained by "the chrysanthemum is beginning to yellow"; The location is a mountain road, directly pointed out by the "mountain road"; The character is the author himself, which is the conclusion drawn from the word "I" in the conclusion of the poem; The thing is, the author rode through the mountain road and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Shan Ye, which was revealed from the poem. These two sentences highlight the author's carefree manner and strong wanderlust.
The third and fourth sentences are written from the aspects of hearing and vision respectively. The first sentence is written in the evening, and autumn sounds are heard; Several peaks stand quietly in the sunset, which is a witness. Here, the two distinct realms of "sound" and "silence" set each other off and become interesting, showing the silence of the mountain village in the evening. It is particularly worth mentioning that the sentence "Count the Peaks" is very quiet, not from the front, but from the back, which is very interesting to read. This is just like what Mr. Qian Zhongshu said in Notes on Selected Poems of Song Dynasty: "The mountain peak was originally silent, but Wang Yucheng said it was silent, or Gong Zizhen's" Ji Hai Za Shi "said," Send me to the east with a whip, and this mountain is speechless to see the Central Plains ",which is not contrary to the facts; But at the same time, it seems that they used to speak, have language and desire language, but now they are suddenly' speechless'. In this way,' several peaks are silent' and' this mountain is silent' are not meaningless nonsense ... "
Zhuan Xu's listening to "sound" and seeing "silence" are two completely different realms, which show the silence and interest of the mountain village in the evening. The poet was infatuated with the tranquility in the mountains, but the evening had come quietly, and he still went back. The third part is about the red leaves and buckwheat flowers in Shanxiang: the frost leaves in Li Tang fall with the wind and are as red as fire, which is particularly dazzling in Shan Ye; Pieces of buckwheat flowers bloom like snow, and bursts of fragrance come to the nose. The contrast between "rouge" and "snow" makes red more vivid and white more pure, which brings readers a very beautiful visual experience. The poet swam over on a whim, and the scenery was eye-catching and recited into poems. However, after reciting this poem, a little disappointment welled up in my mind, and the poet saw that the small bridge and the flowing water in front of me and Yuan Ye Lin Ping were so familiar. It seems that I have returned to my hometown, and the feeling of homesickness may suddenly turn around in an instant. -This place is not the poet's hometown. The poet's heart is self-evident boredom, and the mood of this trip to the countryside has changed from carefree to disappointed. There are mountains and rivers everywhere, which entertain people, but a stranger with a frustrated career has nowhere to go. This situation is really "when the sun sets, heartbroken people are at the end of the world."
In the first six poems, the author painted a colorful and poetic picture of the autumn mountain village day, which better reflected the characteristics of Song people's "painting into poetry". The last two sentences of the poem changed from scenery description to lyricism. The first sentence asked, the poet suddenly felt depressed after reciting the poem; It turned out that the poet was homesick because he suddenly found that the trees on the leaves of the village bridge were like the scenery of his hometown. In this way, the description of the above scenery is settled, which vividly reflects the change of the author's mood from carefree to disappointed and deepens his poetry.
