Ni Zan
Meng Xiaoying Ying Xiang Shui Chun, Qiu Cui Baifeng shines on the river.
I can't get rid of the cold wind, so I plan to learn from Huang Chu.
Ni Zan's Narcissus is a poem that eulogizes things and expresses aspirations. Reading through the whole poem, it is not difficult to see that it also contains the meaning of chanting "the water fairy" (that is, the water god). Narcissus is ingenious in conception, beautiful in artistic conception, easy to associate and noble in sentiment.
This poem begins with "Meng Xiao" and dominates the whole article. Meng Xiao, the morning dream, contains a short and precious meaning. "Welcome" means good. "Xiangshui" refers to Xiangjiang River, a big river in Hunan Province. There is a water god in the world. Legend has it that Shun's second concubine changed when she was thrown into the water. This water god is the object of narcissus. Point out the places and characters in Meng Xiao. "Spring" means that spring is beautiful and full of spring. Corresponding to "Yingying". Point out the time and environment in Meng Xiao. At this time, it coincides with the flowering season of Narcissus. This "dream" time, place, people, environment, extremely beautiful scenery; As far as the artistic conception creation of his whole poem is concerned, it can be regarded as "a good time and a good scene in name only". Then write the charm of narcissus, echoing the beginning of the article. "Qiu Cui" leaves and "Baifeng" flowers have vivid handwriting and bright colors. Qiu and Feng are legendary beasts. Through association, the author replaces the whole with local characteristics, and freely outlines the appearance and temperament of narcissus by line drawing. In fact, it depicts the charm of the water god and creates a bright and gorgeous visual image, which is concrete and real, such as in front of us. "Wangjiangbian" means that daffodils are shining and water gods are shining, which complements the specific typical environment of Yingying and Meng Xiao and shines on both sides of Xiangjiang River. The word "Zhao" in the eyes of the poem is very vivid, bringing out vivid descriptions of daffodils and water gods. In the first two sentences, the author carefully depicts a colorful picture like spring from the painter's unique observation perspective, and at the same time renders the quiet atmosphere of sunny weather and creates a bright artistic conception. How magnificent!
However, such magnificent scenery is the illusion landscape of Ying Ying and Meng Xiao. There seems to be a hidden worry that "it is the most difficult to rest when it is warm and cold." Its conception is full of articles, and its conception is very clever.
It is not uncommon for literati to write dreams at all times and in all countries. Its significance lies in revealing the contradiction between dream and reality, thus expressing an aesthetic ideal. The dreamland created in Ni Zan's poems is in sharp contrast with the social reality and personal ups and downs of the Yuan Dynasty (who died in the early Ming Dynasty) where the author lived, showing the gap of the times, social contradictions and historical contrast in a tortuous way. History tells us that the rulers of Yuan and Mongolia divided people into four classes, among which Mongolians and Semu people were the first two classes and enjoyed great privileges; the third class was the Han people, that is, the Han people in the Central Plains; and the last class was the southerners, that is, the Han people in the south of the Yangtze River and other ethnic minorities. Wuxi, the author's hometown, happened to be on the left side of the Yangtze River in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the poet's wandering in Taihu Lake basin was also the place where the fourth-class residents lived. Suffering from cruel ethnic oppression and displacement, Ni Zan, relying on the beautiful scenes in her dreams, issued an emotional call to cherish the beautiful things, expressing her deep desire and longing for equality and stability.
Next, turn to two sentences, express this strong voice from the heart more directly, and vent the sincere mind that cannot be contained. "Sweet soul" is a metaphor for the water god, that is, the goddess of Hunan water with beautiful manners and infinite charm. It refers to all beautiful things and ideals. Don't chase, don't chase. It means passive. "Cold wind" refers to evil forces. "dispersed", gradually drifting away. It means being destroyed. The poet told Yixiu's "sweet soul" that he should not follow the "cold wind" to dispel the beautiful charm. The author intends to write an essay "Shen Xiang Fu" similar to Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu" in Huang Chu (Cao Pi Nian, Emperor of the Three Kingdoms [AD 220-226]), praising his wonderful "Meng Xiao" dreamland. The sentence "quasi-study" responds to the beginning of the article, which is profound and elegant. The last two sentences highlight the author's hatred and vigilance against evil forces and his pursuit and praise for good things. Euphemism moderately expresses the intention of abandoning ugly forces and shows the love for beautiful things to the fullest.
Reciting the whole poem, the author expresses the gods and feelings. The first two sentences, written in the form of "beautiful scenery", are hidden and exposed, combined with sports; The last two sentences describe "pleasing things", with hate and love, and the scenes blend. Myths and legends are integrated into poetry to create a beautiful and elegant artistic conception; The wonderful use of canon's story has entrusted a kind of generous and beautiful feelings. It can be said that there are paintings in poetry and feelings in paintings. Poetry presents Ni Zan's unique artistic style of "simplifying the complex" and "gentle and simple", which has high artistic charm and aesthetic value.
