Liu Yong, a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, is the founder of the Graceful School. "Yulin Ling", "Youth Tour", "Ding Feng Bo", "Wang Hai Tide", etc. are all his representative works. The following is my I provide you with an appreciation of Liu Yong's "Ba Sheng Ganzhou". Welcome to read it.
A song of tenderness
? Appreciation of Liu Yong’s eight-tone Ganzhou
To the Xiaoxiao and dusk rain sprinkled on the river sky, to cleanse the autumn. The gradually frosty wind is miserable, Guanhe River is desolate, and the remaining light shines on the building. The redness and greenness of this place have declined, and the beauty of the place has ceased. Only the water of the Yangtze River flows eastward without words.
I can’t bear to climb high and look far away, looking at the distance of my hometown, and it’s hard to let go of my thoughts. Sighing at the traces of the past years, what trouble is left behind? Thinking of a beautiful woman, I look up at the building. I missed it a few times and returned to the boat after seeing the sky. Fighting to know me, leaning against the lantern, I am condensing my sorrow.
Liu Yong is too sentimental. He has a nine-curved soft intestine. A specific wandering career, too many disappointments in life, and a natural literary temperament destined Liu Yong's passionate character. "Collection of Movements" is densely packed with works that express feelings of separation, among which "Eight Sounds of Ganzhou" is a representative one.
In late autumn, the reds and greens fade away, and the autumn wind and autumn rain are depressing. Liu Yong climbed high and far away in the autumn scenery, which again evoked the thoughts of cherishing people. My hometown is indistinct and my beauty is not here, which triggers so many thoughts. Every autumn plant, every tree, every hill and every ravine adds to the coolness in Liu Yong's heart. Later, Wu Wenying of the Southern Song Dynasty once wrote this sentence: "Where is sorrow, when it leaves the heart, it is autumn." The Chinese character "sorrow" has been imbued with its specific meaning. Autumn brings sorrow, which is a law of Chinese poetry, with only a few exceptions. For a passionate person like Liu Yong, even if it is not in late autumn, there is still a feeling of separation, let alone when autumn comes. Using autumn to write about separation and express the desolate mood is not Liu Yong's first creation. Liu Yong is just good at this. The first film is all used to describe the scenery, the autumn rain, the rustling autumn wind, the Guanhe River is desolate, the remaining light is on the building, the flowers and plants are withered, the Yangtze River is speechless, and in the thick autumn mood, the emotion of parting and missing is thick.
What is commendable is that the lyricism of the second film is a song of heart and tenderness, which reflects Liu Yong's mastery in writing separation. The long time and vast space add to the poet's thoughts. ?Can't bear to climb high and look far away?, but still can't hold back the longing in my heart, finally "climb high and look far away", thinking that it can comfort the homesickness and relieve the longing. Unexpectedly, on the contrary, the result of climbing up the mountain made me miss you even more. Mr. Qian Zhongshu believes that climbing high is a common way for ancient literati to write about sorrow, which is consistent with the changes in people's minds. Climbing high belongs to the category of "sadness due to increased distance". Years of wandering, frustration in life, and the eagerness to meet each other all came to my mind. Who knows the pain of longing for love? Liu Yong's brilliance lies in that he does not blindly write about his own longing for love, but suddenly changes his mind and starts writing from the other person. Maybe I have all kinds of hatred and pain, but think about it from another perspective, when a beautiful woman is alone in an empty room, watching the moon waxing and waning, what does the pain of longing for me mean in comparison? After all, a man can still control himself to some extent. The boat of life. As for women, in a small space, waiting persistently to return home, the pain they endure will be much greater. Suspending the other person's mental state and writing about himself by writing about the other party adds a layer of twists and turns to the work, adding an extra layer of emotional ups and downs. Liu Yong, how brilliant!
Of course, this is not considered a masterpiece. Liu Yong’s creation was just a matter of Liu Yong’s skillful use. Before Liu Yong and after Liu Yong, there was no shortage of such performances. This is the brilliance of Chinese literati in conveying emotions and freehand brushwork. If you want to trace the history, "The Book of Songs" has already understood this wonderful feature.
Picking and curling ears will not fill the basket. Alas, I am pregnant with someone, leaving him to travel around.
I am my horse, Cui Wei. I will consider that golden lei, so that I will not cherish it forever.
I am riding high on a high hill, and my horse is black and yellow. I'll give him a drink so that I won't be hurt forever.
The enemy is in trouble, and my horse is in trouble. My servant is dead, why is it so bad!
A woman who picked curly ears felt longing for her while working. She came to the road and looked far away, and her sister missed her husband and he missed her sister. Suddenly, her husband misses her so much that he stands on a high hill and looks toward his hometown, making even his horse feel sad. The poem has an extra layer of twists and turns and a little more charm. Du Fu learned this, and his most successful poem was "Moonlight Night".
Tonight in Yanzhou, I can only watch it alone in my boudoir. I pity my children from afar, but I still remember Chang'an. The fragrant mist and clouds make the servant girl wet, and the clear jade arms are cold. When will I lean on the virtual cover and see my tears dry?
It is clear that I miss my wife, but I just write about how my wife misses me. The twists and turns are more poetic and intriguing than the direct expression. Wang Wei's "Remembering Brothers in Shandong on September 9th" also belongs to this kind of writing. It is clear that he misses his brothers, but he says that his brothers miss him when they climb high (? I know from afar that when my brothers climb high, there is one less person planting dogwood trees everywhere?).
In addition, in the next film, the description of "returning to the boat after a few mistakes" is also quite touching. The beauty's deep affection is conveyed through this. If you miss me for a long time, you will keep watch from the top of the building. What a pity, what a pity, how many times you mistakenly identify the boat.
Expectation, excitement, repetition and disappointment, the pain of longing for her tortures the beautiful woman, how can I not miss her? How can I not be heartbroken? How many emotions can be drawn by a misunderstood detail? The first word of Wen Tingyun's "Dream Jiangnan" is wrongly spelled Returning to the boat stirred up emotional waves between the protagonist and the readers. ?After washing up, I leaned alone on Wangjiang Tower. All the thousands of sails that have passed are not the same, the slanting light and the flowing water are long, and the heart is broken by Bai Pingzhou. ?He wholeheartedly longed to return home, but he mistakenly recognized a few sails. The lingering and deep feelings were appropriately expressed. Modern Taiwanese lyric poet Zheng Chouyu wrote a poem "Mistake" in the 1950s. The poem ended with a lingering rhyme. It is said that it was once so popular that "Dada's Horseshoes" once resounded in the streets and alleys of Taipei. ?My dada’s horseshoes are beautiful mistakes. I am not a returnee, but a passerby. ?The ingenious conception comes from the familiarity with classical poetry.
Liu Yong is a master in writing about separation and love. In a light narrative, he writes lingering emotions, with a long charm and endless imagination space, which is amazing.
