Translation of the ancient poem Grass by the Green River
There are green grass by the river and willow trees in the garden. Upstairs, a graceful woman stood at the window, her white skin comparable to the bright moon. Dress up beautifully and stretch out your slender fingers. She used to be a showgirl in a brothel, but now she is the wife of a wandering ranger. My wandering husband has not come back yet. It's really hard to be alone in this empty room. How can you be alone?

Appreciation of the ancient poem Grass by the Qingjiang River
This poem, written in the third person, describes the young woman's longing for love and the interdependence between husband and wife, and even quotes the ordinary life of Qi Mei. The structure of this poem is graceful and graceful, and the reality and reality set each other off; Delicate description, highlighting details; Use overlapping words, full of emotion.
This poem describes a fragment of life, which is roughly described as follows: the heroine is alone, graceful as the wind; She leans against the window as a porch, making people radiant, as bright as the bright moon in the light cloud; She is dressed in colorful red clothes and dressed very carefully; Her ivory-carved slender hands, grasping the window lattice, have been looking into the distance for a long time: she saw the river in the garden, and the grass was green and stretched out into the distance. "Green water and grass, continuous Philip Burkart Road; What you want in the distance, what you dreamed of in the past (Ancient Poetry). It turned out that her eyes followed the footsteps of passers-by with the color of grass; She saw the lush weeping willows in the garden. She once gave it to others as a gift from this tree, hoping that the willow tree would "stay" in the hearts of travelers. It turned out that the annual spring scenery once again ignited her hope of reunion and aroused her youthful feelings. Hope, once again disappointed with hope; Emotion, in waiting, turned into sadness. She can't help recalling the triviality of life. She, a family advocate, finally broke free from the shackles of tears and songs and found a happy husband, hoping to live a normal life; However, nature is so confusing that she can't help shouting in her heart: "Why don't you come back, cold empty bed, how can I stay alone!" "
This poem is such an ordinary fragment of life that has been repeated countless times, and it is only used in the ordinary composition of lyrical improvisation and the ordinary language of "a scholar speaks everyday words" (Xie Zhen language); However, the charm is extraordinary. Seeing the extraordinary realm in the ordinary is the exquisiteness that this poem-also the Nineteen Ancient Poems-can't be achieved by later generations.
This poem is actually a lyric poem, a poem that can be sung, and a third-person narrative form used in Nineteen Ancient Poems.
The structure of the poem seems to be straight, but in fact it is tall and graceful, and the perfect contrast between reality and reality is very natural. The center of the poetic scene is, of course, the beauty of architecture, with grass and willow smoke, which is what she sees in her eyes, but the poet-he may have seen this beauty by chance, or he may be a prodigal son-represents her imagination, and naturally from far to near, from the grass outside the garden, willow smoke is gathered into the garden and gathered into one point, the tall buildings in the garden. Youth in nature is the foil of young women's youth; The green grass and willows are beautiful against the bright red makeup. It is only because it is so beautiful that the sudden sadness at the end of the article is particularly touching. After reading the poem, I further realized that opening the vibrant grass tree has already been smeared with the dream-like sadness of a young woman. This is the taste of nineteen poems that predecessors often say. For example, the analysis of the poetic methods of later poets has formed a structure of comparison before and after, and the endings are corresponding. However, people can't help feeling that poets don't necessarily make such ingenious structures. He just imagined for her and wrote one by one with her emotional development as a clue. The natural twists and turns of feelings formed the natural twists and turns of poetry structure.
The language of the poem is not unusual, but it uses overlapping words commonly used in folk songs, and the six words are used together, but they are appropriate and vivid. Both green and melancholy describe the vitality of plants, but green focuses on color, melancholy and ideology, and they are interchangeable. Only when willows pile up smoke will you feel depressed. The grass by the river is endless, so it is hard to be depressed. If you only use green willows, you will not try your best. Both Britain and Jiao Jiao described the charm of beautiful women, while Ying Ying focused on posture, while Jiao Jiao focused on elegant manners. From Ying Ying to Jiao Jiao, you will feel like a bright moon coming out of the clouds, from hidden to fresh. If you try to exchange one after another, you will feel inappropriate. Moths and filar silk both write their own looks. Moths are general compliments, while filar silk is a description of details. They are mutually exclusive. The six overlapping words are the same, from the periphery to the center, from the whole to the part, from hazy to clear, which sets off the perfect image of the woman upstairs. Of course, there are also some refining options here, but they are all reflected one by one according to the poet's vision or suspense process. Perhaps it is the natural development of imagination that helps the popular five-character poets to use vocabulary so aptly without any trace of carving. If they construct themselves out of thin air, the effect may not be so good. This is the so-called "scholar talks a lot".
