2. extinction: extinction.
3. Birds fly away: There are no birds in the sky.
4. Path: Path.
5. Trace: Trace. No trace, no trace.
6. Suoli (Su is not Li): Suoyi, a hat.
These two lines mean: on a lonely boat, an old man was fishing alone on a cold river covered with heavy snow, wearing a hemp fiber and a hat.
Most of Liu Zongyuan's landscape poems describe the secluded realm to express his anguish and indignation at persecution and relegation. This poem depicts a fisherman fishing alone in a cold river, expressing the indomitable character of the poet Yongzhen despite his loneliness after the failure of innovation.
The first two sentences "There are no birds in a hundred mountains and no footprints in a thousand paths" describe the snow scene, while "Qian Shan" and "Wanjing" are all exaggerations. There should be birds on the mountain and people on the road. However, "birds fly away" and "people disappear". The poet used the scene of birds flying far away and pedestrians disappearing to render a desolate and lonely realm. Although the word "snow" is not used directly, readers seem to see the overwhelming snow and feel the biting cold. This is a reflection of the bad political environment at that time.
Three or four sentences "a boat, a bamboo cloak, an old man fishing in the cold river-snow" depict the image of a fisherman fishing alone in the cold river. In a place with heavy snow and almost no life, there is a lonely boat. There is a fisherman on the boat, wearing hemp fiber, fishing alone on the snowy river. This fisherman's image is obviously a portrayal of the poet himself, which expresses the loneliness but perseverance of the poet after the failure of political reform.
Liu Zongyuan (773-8 19), a native of Hedong (now Yongji County, Shandong Province), is an outstanding thinker and essayist, and has made great achievements in poetry.
Jiang Xue, a work written by Liu Zongyuan after his relegation to Yongzhou, has been widely read. This little poem takes the scenery as the background and expresses his ambition. With extremely refined writing, the author outlines a fisherman fishing alone on the snowy river, artistically summarizes the sinister political environment he lived in at that time, and shows his strong will and noble quality of not fearing the dark forces and not giving in.
This poem was written during my life in Yongzhou. It's a rhyming five-character quatrain. At first glance, it looks like a landscape painting: there are no pedestrians and birds in the ice and snow, only an old man is alone, fishing silently. However, this clean, quiet and cold picture is an independent, clean and lonely life.
The artistic conception of this poem is very particular, and the poet uses contrast and contrast: the vastness of Qianshan sets off the loneliness and smallness; The silence of bird extinction contrasts with the old man's interest in fishing; The silence of the picture sets off the surging emotions of the characters. The lonely and independent old man is actually a portrayal of the poet's mood.
The scenery written in the poem is: peaks, no birds, no paths, and no human footprints. The whole land is covered with vast white snow. An old fisherman in hemp fiber and hat is driving a boat and fishing alone on the cold river. Look, what a vivid picture it is! What does this picture mean? As we all know, there will never be "pure" landscape poems or landscape paintings in works of art. In them, the author's feelings and realistic content will always be more or less reflected. In fact, the best in landscape poetry is all flowers and birds, but every word must be a scene, and there is always affection between sound and fine taste. This poem is no exception. As long as you understand Liu Zongyuan's life experience, it will be no exception.
