Moonlight on the Lotus Pond is a masterpiece of modern lyric prose. The article describes the beautiful scene of moonlight in the lotus pond, and implicitly and euphemistically expresses the author's complex thoughts and feelings that he is dissatisfied with reality, longs for freedom, and wants to be detached from reality but can't do it. The following is what I have compiled about the moonlight in the lotus pond, Zhu Ziqing. Welcome to refer to it!
The original moonlight on the lotus pond:
I'm very upset these days. Sitting in the yard enjoying the cool tonight, I suddenly remembered the lotus pond I walked through every day. It should look different under the light of this full moon. The moon rises gradually, and the children's laughter on the road outside the wall can no longer be heard; My wife is patting and skipping in the room, humming a sleeping song in a daze. I slipped on a big shirt and ran out the door.
Along the lotus pond, there is a winding little cinder road. This is a secluded road; Few people walk during the day, and it is lonely at night. Around the lotus pond, there are many trees and lush. On one side of the road, there are some willows and some trees with unknown names. On a moonless night, the road is gloomy and a little scary. It's fine tonight, although the moonlight is still very weak.
I was the only one on the road, walking around with my hands behind my back. This world seems to be mine; I also like to go beyond my usual self and go to another world. I love excitement and peace; Like to live in groups, like to be alone. Just like tonight, under this boundless moon, a person thinks about everything and thinks nothing, and feels like a free person. What must be done and said during the day can be ignored now. This is the beauty of being alone, and I will enjoy the boundless moonlight with lotus fragrance.
On the winding lotus pond, I look at the leaves. The leaves are high out of the water, like an elegant dancer's skirt. Layers of leaves are dotted with some white flowers, some of which bloom gracefully and some are in bud shyly; Like a pearl, like a star in the blue sky, like a beauty who just took a bath. The breeze blew, sending wisps of fragrance, like a faint song on a tall building in the distance. At this time, the leaves and flowers also trembled slightly, like lightning, passing through the lotus pond in an instant. The leaves are close side by side, so there are clear wave marks. Below the leaves is flowing water, which is covered and can't see some colors; Leaves are more exposed to the wind.
Moonlight, like running water, falls quietly on this leaf and flower. A thin layer of blue mist floats in the lotus pond. Leaves and flowers seem to have been washed in milk; Like a dream in a sarong. Although it is a full moon, there are faint clouds in the sky, so it can't shine; But I think this is just a benefit-deep sleep is indispensable, and nap is unique. Moonlight shines through the trees, and the bushes at the height cast uneven and mottled shadows, which are as steep as ghosts; The sparse shadows of curved willows seem to be painted on lotus leaves. The moonlight in the pond is uneven; But light and shadow have a harmonious melody, such as Fan Yuling. ) There is a famous song on it.
Around the lotus pond, there are trees far and near, and willows are the most. These trees surround a lotus pond; Only on one side of the path, there are some gaps, which seem to be reserved for moonlight. An example of the color of trees is cloudy, which at first glance looks like a cloud of smoke; But the abundance of willows can be recognized in the smoke. There are distant mountains on the treetops, just a little careless. There are still one or two lamps leaking through the cracks in the tree. What is listless is the eyes of those who are sleepy. At this time, the most lively are cicadas in the tree and frogs in the water; But the excitement is theirs. I have nothing.
I suddenly remembered the matter of picking lotus. Lotus picking is an ancient custom in the south of the Yangtze River. It seems to have a long history, but it flourished in the Six Dynasties. You can get a rough idea from this poem. Lotus pickers are teenage girls, swinging boats and singing bright songs. Needless to say, there are many lotus pickers. It was a lively season and a romantic season. Emperor Liang Yuan put it well in "Lotus Picking Fu":
So the demon is a virgin, and she wants to boat; The snipe makes a first promise and passes the feather cup; I can move, algae can hang, boats can move and sail. Erqi slim waist bundle element, Yan Gubu; After long summer, in late spring, leaves are tender and flowers are early. I'm afraid of touching the petticoats and laughing, and I'm afraid of leaning over the boat and getting together.
It can be seen that there were wandering scenes at that time. This is really interesting, but unfortunately we are not happy now.
Then I remembered the words in Song of Xizhou:
Lotus is picked in autumn in Nantang, and the lotus is over the head; Bow your head to get lotus seeds, lotus seeds (summer note: homophonic "Reiko Kobayakawa", meaning to love you. ) Clear as water.
If there are lotus pickers tonight, the lotus here will be considered "over the top"; You can't just see some shadows of running water. This makes me really miss Jiangnan. -thinking like this, I suddenly looked up and felt that it was my own door; Gently pushed the door in, there was no sound, and my wife had slept for a long time.

Writing background
Moonlight on the Lotus Pond was written in July 1927. The Great Revolution failed and white terror enveloped the land of China. At this time, Chiang defected to the revolution, and China was in darkness. As a "pawn of the great era", Zhu Ziqing has been shouting and struggling, but after the April 12th coup, he moved from the "cross street" of struggle to the "ivory tower" of classical literature. But the author can't join the army and take up a gun to go to the revolution, but he can't quell his dissatisfaction and hatred of the dark reality. The author is confused and contradictory about life, depressed inside, and can't be calm all the time. So the author wrote this article. Through the description of the scenery of the lotus pond on a lonely moonlit night, this paper reveals the author's complex mood of pursuing peace but not getting peace, and dreaming beyond reality but not getting rid of peace, which is the reflection of that dark age in the author's mind.
Appreciation of the beauty of moonlight in the lotus pond
Moonlight on the Lotus Pond is one of Zhu Ziqing's representative works, and it is also a reserved item in high school textbooks. With the help of various rhetorical devices, this essay skillfully uses elegant, gorgeous and poetic language to express the author's faint joy and sadness, as well as his depression and disappointment with reality. There are many beautiful places in the article, which are worth appreciating as follows:
First, the beauty of rhetoric
The author uses a variety of rhetorical devices to describe the scenery of the lotus pond. There are vivid metaphors. Lotus leaves coming out of the water are "like a graceful dance skirt", which reminds people of the graceful posture of lotus leaves once they dance; The budding bud is like a "pearl" and a "star in the blue sky", vivid and vivid; Moonlight, like "flowing water", vividly depicts the clear and flowing characteristics of moonlight. And vivid personification. Elegant blooming lotus, "leaves close to each other side by side", describes the density of leaves and the attractive wind of leaves. Have a deep synaesthesia. Synaesthesia is a rhetorical device of mutual communication and transmission of feelings. "The breeze blew, sending a faint fragrance, like a faint song on the far floor." The author compares the fragrance to a faint song, which shows that the fragrance is erratic, with different shades and intermittent. Because the building is tall and far away, the breeze is blowing, and the singing upstairs has a vague feeling, which sounds like nothing and is very incoherent. "The moonlight in the pond is uneven, just like a famous song played by the Vatican." The author compares the picture composed of black and white light and shadow to a harmonious melody and a famous violin music, which transforms the visual image into an auditory image, giving people both visual and auditory feelings and receiving good artistic effects.
Second, the language is beautiful.
1, the beauty of verbs. In the choice of verbs, the author racked his brains and spent a lot of time. "Moonlight, like running water, pours quietly on this leaf and flower. Thin blue fog floating in the lotus pond ",a" diarrhea ",a" floating ",enliven the moonlight fog, full of movement. "The leaves are close side by side, so there is a bright ripple." The word "get" vividly depicts the charming image of Tian Tian Lotus Leaf as a group of radiant girls. "The sparse beautiful image of the curved willows is like the word" painting "in the lotus leaf, as if a slender hand painted on paper, which naturally and appropriately wrote the beauty and truth of the moon shadow cast on the lotus leaf.
2. The embellishment of quantifiers is beautiful. Quantifiers are ignored by ordinary people, but in Zhu Ziqing's works, they can accurately describe the characteristics of things, add rich aesthetic connotation to modifiers, and become a bright spot in language. For example, when the breeze blows, the leaves and flowers tremble slightly, and the leaves are close side by side, so there is a clear wave mark. There is a distant mountain on the treetop, and one or two lamps leak through the cracks of the trees, one point, one point, one point, one point, one point, one point, one point.
3. The phonological beauty of reduplicated words. For example, in the second paragraph, the author wrote, "On a moonless night, the road is gloomy and a little scary. Tonight is very good, although the moonlight is still very light, but "dense" and "light" create a quiet atmosphere, but also set off a touch of sadness. Another example is "there are many trees around the lotus pond, which is lush", and "lush" not only means more forests, but also strengthens the atmosphere at night. There are many such examples, Bibi is full of artistic expression and gives people a harmonious aesthetic feeling.
