"The water is bright and sunny, and the three colors are empty and rainy." Reciting the beauty of Xizi Lake described by Su Dongpo, a poet in the Song Dynasty, naturally reminds me of the artistic beauty of Zong Pu's prose Green of the West Lake.
The so-called "artistic conception" is the artistic realm formed by the combination of the objective picture depicted in literary and artistic creation and the expressed thoughts and feelings. It can make readers feel that their thoughts and feelings are infected through imagination and association, such as being there. In other words, artistic conception is an artistic image created by the writer in combination with reality, which has rich connotations and infinite charm. Ancient literary critics often used artistic conception to measure the quality of their works, and West Lake Green by contemporary Zong Pu is a masterpiece with extremely high artistic conception.
First, the aggressive momentum of green.
"Strangely, this time it had a very different impression. June is not a good time. No flowers, no snow, no spring and no autumn. When the lake was full of misty rain, all the scenery was foggy. The West Lake seems to be half awake and half asleep. The air is filled with the fragrance of gardenia after the rain. I still remember Dongpo's poem:' The water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are cloudy and rainy.' I thought I knew the Dongpo of the West Lake best, so I really should watch it carefully. "
This passage, "The lake is misty and rainy, and the air is filled with the fragrance of gardenia after the rain", is an anthropomorphic technique by which the author writes the unique scenery of the West Lake in early summer from the perspective of vision and smell. At the same time, I quote a good sentence from Su Shi's Drinking Chuqing after Rain on the Lake, which adds some charm to the West Lake. This gives readers the first impression that the West Lake in June has a unique ethereal beauty in the misty rain.
Next, the author describes the colorful "green" of the West Lake with the combination of reality and reality:
It's the same every time. Come and go in a hurry In a few days, I experienced a "green" word for the first time, and this alone has made me linger. Going to Lingyin in the rain, I only feel green when I get off the bus. The old trees on the roadside are towering and green, and the rain seems to be green. The trees in the upper layer of Feilai Peak are green, some are dark green, deep and dense; Some are blue, light and bright. The winding path under the peak is covered with moss, and the straight green extends into the crevices. Sitting in the cold spring pavilion, I really feel cold and relaxed. The stream beside the pavilion is a stream, but it can't express the momentum of running. The smooth place is also crystal clear, and the water flies like flying beads and rolling jade, which is particularly beautiful in this green shadow.
This section is about green and aggressive momentum. Writing "Visiting Lingyin in the rain and getting off the bus with green eyes" is an empty description of the feeling of green. "The old trees on the roadside are towering, and the green is dripping", which is really implicit and green. The tree on the upper layer of Feilai Peak is "dark green and deep" and "blue and green and light". "It seems that even the rain is green", which is an empty description of the feeling of green. Writing the path on the peak, "full of moss, straight green into the crevices of the stone", actually wrote dark green, not dark green. Writing about the steady flow next to the cold spring pavilion is also "clear", and the shade is beautiful. These authors describe that trees, paths and streams are green everywhere, showing the vastness of green, infiltrating into every corner and reaching out to build a green world for readers. The author describes the green momentum so vividly that it seems to have a striking momentum.
Second, the beauty of green fun
There are many scenic spots in the West Lake, each with its own characteristics. The author grasps the respective characteristics of Huanglong Cave, Pingfeng Mountain, Jiuxi Eighteen Rivers and Su Causeway, and writes another characteristic of the West Lake:
There are many scenic spots in the West Lake, and each place has different benefits. Even if it is green, it is different. Huanglong Cave is quiet and green, Pingfeng Shan Ye is green, and Jiuxi Eighteen Rivers are idle and green. You can't talk about it one by one. Strolling through Su Causeway, there are lakes on both sides, which look like smoke from a distance, slightly raining near the water, and a layer of silver gray. Walking, I suddenly saw the trees on the side of the road are very strange. Although a tree is far away, it gives people a feeling of vastness and desolation, which seems to be green from the top of the tree to the underground. On closer inspection, it turns out that the tree is covered with green moss, so tender and lovely, which makes the shady Su Causeway green. Some mosses have interesting shapes, such as cows, shepherds, trees and clouds; Some of them look like green landscapes. This moss gives me the impression of perseverance. I wonder what impression Su Gong had on them.
The interesting beauty of green is written here. There are many scenic spots in the West Lake, even if they are green, they are different: "Huanglong Cave is quiet and green, the screen is Shan Ye, and the nine streams and eighteen rivers are idle", and "seclusion" is related to the "cave", which shows the dark characteristics of Huanglong Cave's green; "Wild" is related to "mountain". The green on the mountain is everywhere, widely distributed, unrestrained and boundless; "Leisure" and "water" blend together, such as idle clouds and flowing water, green and unrestrained. It not only captures the characteristics, but also writes with interest. "Quiet", "wild" and "leisure" have different meanings and are vividly written. Writing about the trees on both sides of Su Causeway "seems to be green from the treetops to the underground" and "The trees are covered with green moss", which adds a bit of green to the gloomy Su Causeway. The shape of moss is also very interesting: "like a cow, like a tree, like a cloud" and "the whole piece looks like a green landscape". This shows that moss has brought green interest to Su Causeway in terms of color, texture, shape, layout and impression. This description is full of poetry, full of green poetic beauty and interesting beauty, which brings people into an overwhelming green world.
Third, the green vitality.
"Watching fish in the flower harbor" is also a great scenic spot of the West Lake, where you can enjoy the value of life and see another green feature of the West Lake:
I saw another kind of green when I watched fish in Huagang. It is full of new lotus flowers, round green leaves, or standing on the water, or leaning against the water, only feel a vigorous vitality jumping in the pool. Green is the color of life. I like to see the tender willow branches in early spring, so bright. When the willow branches swing, it seems to tell you that spring is coming. Lotus leaves are more cautious and mature in early summer, but they are the same through green vitality. In addition, the water drops on the leaves are rolling around, almost like lotus leaves dancing on the ground.
In this section, the author describes the vitality of green. Huagang New River, its posture is "dancing on the water" or "turning around on the water". "Round green leaves, the water drops on the leaves are rolling around. It seems that the lotus leaves in the pool are flying. " In early spring near the harbor, willows and green leaves make everything full of vitality. The author vividly describes the green beauty of Xinhe River and early spring willow, giving people a sense of movement and exuberant vitality, philosophical thinking and endless aftertaste.
Fourth, dynamic and static contrast, add interest.
In the author's eyes, the mountains and rivers of the West Lake are green everywhere, and a girl rocking a boat in the lake has become a beautiful scenery, adding interest and artistic conception:
Coming back from Huagang by boat, the rain has stopped, and the distant mountain is purple, just like a cloud. The waves are as flat as a mirror, the boat glides on the water, and only the sound of paddles is sobbing, which adds to the tranquility of the lake. After a while, the girl rocking the boat put down her paddle, drank a cup of tea and leaned against the side of the boat. I saw her touching the water with a big carp. She just smiled and threw the fish on the chessboard without saying a word. Friends who are in the same boat are fascinated and say again and again, how is this possible? After landing, I looked back at the white lake that became endless in the thick dusk and exclaimed, "What a magical lake!
This part is a static and dynamic comparison, which increases the interest. What I saw on the road of "returning to the boat after a busy night" was that the mountains were blue with purple and the lakes were "blue as a mirror". At this point, the author should have a rest, but see "the ship is sliding on the water"; Gradually, I heard the sound of paddles, which added a calm to the lake. Suddenly, I saw "a girl rocking a boat with an oar and drinking a cup of tea." She leaned against the ship's rail and only saw that she touched the water ... and threw the fish on the board. " It can really be said that green is red. Colorful, so that the beauty of the West Lake is quiet and moving, and there are people in the scene, which adds a bit of artistic conception and interest.
Throughout the description, whether it is ancient trees, paths, streams, moss, new lotus, or willows, mountains and rivers, caves, streams and girls, the lake is full of green, vitality and poetry, as the writer Yang Shuo said: "Good prose is poetry." The description of green in this paper is simply a poem, which is spread out, vigorous and powerful, and also has the legacy of Han Fu, giving people a magnificent enjoyment.
Why does the author have such a mentality? This may be inseparable from her love for nature, life, mountains and rivers and the West Lake. In the author's eyes, all the interests in nature, vibrant green, look in the eyes and love in the heart. The reason why the author thinks the West Lake is so beautiful and writes the green of the West Lake carefully, colorful and spiritually is because she is good at observing, discovering, experiencing and feeling. The shades of green between the mountains and rivers make people feast their eyes and feel relaxed and happy. Reading through the full text, such as drinking a mellow cold drink on a hot summer day, is refreshing and can't help but say that it is an enjoyment of artistic beauty.
We will further investigate the author's mood and emotion.
The author wrote this article in 1962, shortly after the founding of New China. In the early 1960s, although China was a relatively poor and backward society, people's lives were very difficult. However, the people of China overcame many difficulties and fought bravely to create a great socialist motherland. At that time, the Chinese nation was moving towards maturity, glory and vigorous development. At this point, we can easily find that: the author describes the green of the West Lake, because green is the "color of life"; Green is full of vitality; Green and strong vitality. The West Lake is green everywhere, eye-catching and full of green life. Isn't this the epitome of China's strong vitality everywhere? By praising the green beauty of the West Lake, the author praised its "vigorous vitality". Praising the "vigorous vitality" and "robust vitality" of the West Lake means praising and praising the "robust" and "mature" vitality of our great motherland. The author describes and praises the changes of the West Lake, that is, describes and praises the changes of the motherland, becoming fast and good, magical and full of vitality. From this, we can find that the author faced the scene of the West Lake, saw the spiritual paradise on earth, saw the rusty rivers and mountains of the motherland, and saw the future and hope of the Chinese nation. She was excited and proud. She wrote happily, depicting the green beauty of the West Lake in poetic and shining language, expressing her love and praise for the beauty of the West Lake on earth, thus further expressing her love and eulogy for the beautiful scenery and strong vitality of the motherland.
