Appreciation
The whole poem has five chapters and six sentences. Each chapter begins with the vegetation of Nanshan and Beishan rising, full of folk song flavor. There are terraces, mulberries, qis, castanopsis, and wolfberries in the southern mountains; Lai, poplars, plums, 杻, and 楰 in the northern mountains, just as the country has gentlemen and wise men with various virtues. Xingzhong has a strong symbolic meaning. But the role of Xingyu is also to create momentum for the chapter and change the rhyme to achieve rhyme. In this poem, these two points are particularly obvious. If you say directly, "A gentleman is the foundation of a country; a gentleman is a gentleman, he will live forever", etc., it will appear abrupt and straightforward. After adding "There is a platform in the south mountain, there is a rai in the north mountain", the poem suddenly becomes more colorful. Implicit and euphemistic, the rhythm of the poem is harmonious and natural. After the speech, it is to express one's merits and wish one's birthday. In each chapter, he directly calls "Le Zhijunzi" twice, which shows the close relationship between the congratulator and the congratulator. The first three chapters, "the foundation of the state," "the light of the state," and "the parents of the people," are concise and concise. They use extremely economical pen and ink to create a portrait of the person being praised. Book. Expressing merit is not only the foundation of praising virtues and celebrating birthdays, but also an essential part of it. Whether the performance is appropriate or not is directly related to the purpose of the poem. It is precisely because the previous performance is appropriate and successful that the subsequent birthday wishes appear reasonable and powerful. Chapters 4 and 5 use two rhetorical sentences of "a long life without eyebrows" and "a long life without yellow eyes" to express wishes: How can such a gentleman not grow his eyebrows and look like he has a long life! How can such a gentleman live longer without gray hair! This is based on the performance and birthday celebrations in the previous three chapters. At the end, the eulogist still did not forget to add the sentence "Bao Aierhou". Paying heirs to descendants is a Chinese tradition. Blessing ancestors and their descendants are connected, which is the highlight of poetry.
Although the content of this poem is simple, its structural arrangement is quite exquisite. The five chapters echo from beginning to end, looping back and forth, with semantic intervals and adhesion, progressing layer by layer, with a strong sense of layering and rhythm. The choice of words and words should be easy to say, gentle and easy to chew, showing the ingenuity of the lyricist. As a universal song for banquets, its comprehensive functions of entertainment, blessing, praise and celebration are obvious.
