"The grass is green and yellow, and the peach blossoms are chaotic." What do you mean?

In spring, the grass grows warblers, the green willows sprout, the peach blossoms hang on the branches, and the fragrance of plum blossoms floats into the distance.

Where does this sentence come from? -Two Poems of Spring Thoughts by Jia Zhi in Tang Dynasty

The complete original text is like this:

The grass is green, the willows are yellow, and the peach blossoms are messy.

Don't worry about the east wind, but spring can make you hate for a long time.

Red powder and weak willows hang low, and Jinhua wax wine relieves worries.

You can kill Chang 'an frivolous with a hangover at night.

I also released a translation for your understanding:

In spring, the grass grows warblers, the green willows sprout, the peach blossoms hang on the branches, and the fragrance of plum blossoms floats into the distance. (But in such a vibrant spring), the spring breeze still can't blow away my worries and sorrows, but my worries and resentments have been growing in this spring.

Beautiful women are shouting and selling wine, and beautiful women who twist their waists (beside); Camellia tea with rice wine can relieve alcoholism. In this round-the-clock song and dance, the guests who come and go are the best to keep, and all frivolous people in Chang 'an can get drunk in this gentle village.

Jia Zhi's Two Poems of Spring Thoughts is contained in 235 volumes of All Tang Poems.

In Tang Suzong, Jia Vegetation was demoted to Yuezhou Sima. In the Interpretation of Tang Poems, Tang Ruxun thought that some of Jia Zhi's quatrains were "all written in exile in Chu". This poem was probably written during his relegation. The sadness and hate expressed in the poem seems to be not ordinary leisure and hate, but the sorrow and hate of exile caused by his position and situation at that time.

Here, the scenery of "Liu Qingqing" is similar to that of "green grass and yellow willows", and the scene of "warm wind for a long time" is similar to that of "spring day" and "east wind", which often makes people hate dragons. As for the "spring heart" of "full of Dongting", it is also roughly synonymous with the "spring thoughts" mentioned in this poem. "Spring Heart" is a spiritual journey triggered by the arrival of spring and the departure of geese. "Spring thinking" is a growing sorrow that cannot be banished even in a beautiful spring.

The title of this poem is Spring Thoughts, and every sentence in the poem is about spring. In the use of artistic techniques, the poet compares the first two sentences with the last two sentences, which makes the sadness and hatred to be expressed doubly strong. The first sentence, "The grass is green and the willow is yellow", has been dyed very brightly with light green and goose yellow. The second sentence, "Peach blossoms are in chaos and flowers are overflowing", adds purples and white to the painting with a dark pen, and conveys a thick spring scene with flowers blooming and falling with a pen depicting the air, making the spring scene on the picture more colorful and noisy. The poet used these two sentences to write about spring scenery, aiming to form a sharp contrast with the beautiful scenery opposite, and set off the deep sorrow and hatred that cannot be eliminated.

The last two poems express the poet's sadness and hatred. This kind of sadness and hatred is deeply rooted in the heart and cannot be eliminated because of the beauty of spring outside. Yan Feng of the Southern Tang Dynasty wrote the sentence "When spring comes, melancholy remains", which directly wrote this fact. However, what Jia Zhi wrote is not so direct, but don't be surprised. With unexpected ideas, poetic expression is more profound and tortuous.

The third sentence in the poem, "The east wind won't blow away", doesn't mean that you are too worried to send away, but that the east wind is cold and heartless, not that you can't send away your worries. This is a deeper layer in poetic thinking, which makes poetry have a wonderful effect of avoiding the plain and seeing the strange. The fourth sentence, "Spring can stir up hatred for a long time", does not mean that it is boring because of depression, but it produces the feeling that days are like years, but conversely, it means that spring stirs up hatred, making its conception more novel and its wording more meaningful.

When people feel uneasy and helpless, they often vent their anger on others or things. The poet, on the other hand, blames the sadness on the east wind and spring, which has nothing to do with it. It seems unreasonable to complain that the east wind blows away sorrow and that spring prolongs hatred. However, judging from the lyrical language of poetry rather than reasoning, from the poet's unique feelings and rich associations, it has its own reasons. Because, of course, the poet's sadness is invisible and can't be blown away by the east wind, but the arrival of the east wind can not only drive away the cold and revive the vegetation, but the poet also hopes that it can blow away the sadness in his heart, and he will be disappointed and complain because it can't be blown away. This is human nature and understandable. Although the poet's hatred can't be prolonged or shortened in spring, after the spring comes, the days are getting longer and longer, and in the poet's feeling, the days will be more difficult to pass. Zhang Hua's Love Poem expresses the same psychological state and the poet's subjective sense of time, while Li Yi's Harmony in the Lodge expresses the same psychological state. From such a psychological state, it is also reasonable for the poet to complain that spring brings hatred.

The language of poetry may sometimes break through common sense, but it must be understandable by readers. In other words, a poem can accommodate association, whimsy, fantasy and wishful thinking, but it is not absurd; A poet can fly freely with his imagination, but there must be something in his emotional expression that can arouse the reader's sense of * * *. This song "Spring Thoughts" is like this.
