In fact, to put it bluntly, logic accounts for a large part of writing. It can be said that it is the cornerstone of writing.
How are the lyrics written by Xu Song? Don’t be too busy comparing yourself to Su Shi, but take a good look at Xu Song’s own lyrics. In fact, just from the wording point of view, it is pretty good. However, there is no logical logic between words and sentences, or in other words, it fails to connect them in an interesting way.
In some Song lyrics or Yuan songs, there are sometimes some very special sentences, all of which are a superposition of images. The most famous one is Ma Zhiyuan's "withered vines and old trees, dim crows, small bridges and flowing water, people." ”
The beauty of this writing method is mainly two points: first, it is organized, and second, it has new ideas. There are rules and regulations that refer to dead vines, old trees and dim crows, small bridges and flowing water. They are not written casually, but have a hidden meaning. "Withered vines, old trees and dim crows" echoes the author's own age and state of mind. Under normal circumstances, people who miss their hometown very much are mostly not ambitious young men who have just left their hometown. They must be people who have been wandering outside for several years, or even those who have been away for a long time. A person who is wandering abroad, unwilling and dissatisfied. This can be verified from Jiang Jie's "Poppy Listening to the Rain". "Withered Vine and Old Tree and Dusky Crow" describes the scene of autumn evening, which reflects the author's age and state of mind. Thirdly, there is the existence and close internal connection of "dry vines and old trees with crows". The dead vines entwine the old trees, and the old trees are inhabited by crows. This is very consistent with the order in which we view the scenery, from bottom to top. (As for why it is not from top to bottom, it is because the author was riding a horse instead of climbing to the top of the mountain to see all the mountains at a glance). At dusk, with vines wrapped around the trees and birds perching on the trees, it is easy to think of dependence and home. This also paved the way for the next sentence of "Little Bridges and Flowing Waters". As for the Xiaoqiaoliushui family, it is an even more naked expression of attachment to their family.
I will not talk about the superposition of images in most of Xu Song's poems, but should I just say that he superimposes them in an orderly manner? Anything new?
