There are also neat even sentences in his poems, which are carefully described and carefully used, but they are not intended to imitate mountains and rivers, but words that come to mind at the moment. Such as "Spring Dawn", "I woke up in this beautiful spring morning, and birds were singing everywhere", which inadvertently revealed a beautiful and pleasant spring.
(3) Ming Xiu's poetry, plain Qingyuan, endless interest. For example, in "Night Sleeping on Jiande River", the first two sentences are touching the scene and the last two sentences are lyrical, which describes the fresh autumn night and highlights the subtle characteristics of the scenery. The whole poem is light, elegant, implicit, flowing, natural and charming, and quite distinctive.
Generally speaking, Meng Haoran's pastoral poetry was liberated from the narrow theme of chanting things and responding to the prevailing system in the early Tang Dynasty, which showed more life, inherited Xie Lingyun's tradition and created the first school of pastoral poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
2. Introduction to the poet:
Meng Haoran (689-740) was born in Xiangyang, Xiangzhou (now Xiangyang, Hubei), known as Meng Xiangyang in the world. Because he has never been an official, he is also known as Monsanto, and he is a famous pastoral poet in the Tang Dynasty.
Meng Haoran was born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and he was determined to use the world in his early years. After experiencing the hardships and pains of his official career, he was able to respect himself, not flatter the vulgar world, and practice seclusion for life. Once lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain. Traveling to Chang 'an at the age of 40 should be promoted by Jinshi. He once wrote a poem named Gong Qing in imperial academy, and he wrote for it. In the 25th year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Jiuling led his troops to the shogunate and lived in seclusion. Meng's poems are mostly five-character short stories, mostly pastoral poems and secluded poems, and most of them are in the mood of serving immortals. Although it is not without cynicism, it is more of a poet's self-expression.
Meng Haoran's poems have unique artistic attainments, so later generations called Meng Haoran and Wang Weihe "Wang Meng". There are three volumes of Meng Haoran's collected works handed down from generation to generation.
3. Appendices of several pastoral poems by Meng Haoran:
① Early pregnancy in Hanjiang.
Leaves fall to the south and the north wind is bleak.
My home is wandering by the river, and the sea of clouds is far away.
Tears of homesickness in the journey, see the back of the sail on the horizon.
The smoke in the wind blurs where the ferry can be, and the vast river ripples in the sunset.
② From a berth on Tonglu to a friend in Yangzhou.
The mountain was dark when it saw it, and the darkness of the mountain flowed eastward, day and night. The wind on both sides of the strait rustled the branches and leaves, and the moonlight reflected on the river, a boat on a river.
Jiande's scenery is good, but it's not my hometown. I still miss my old friends in Yangzhou. Recalling those two lines of tears that I couldn't restrain, I looked at the west side of the west bank and sent sadness to Yangzhou.
③ Return to Lumen Mountain at night.
In the evening, the bell of the temple echoed in the valley, and a noisy voice sounded at Yulu Ferry.
People walked along the shore to Jiangcun village, and I also returned to Lumen by boat.
The moonlight at the deer gate made the mountain tree appear, and I suddenly came to the seclusion of exile.
Lonely mountain road and quiet forest road, only hermits come and go gracefully here.
