Appreciation of the ancient poem "Watching the Rain".
The subtle pun is rich in connotation —— A brief analysis of Chen's "Watching the Rain —— Guan Yumin's Mountain Dragon Bell". The front river and the back ridge are covered with clouds, and thousands of valleys and forests send rain. Bamboo branches are depressed in Shanghai, and the wind blows the corner of the mountain to see the light again. I don't think the house is leaking, but I'm going to wash my armor. Chen (1090- 1 139) was born in Luoyang (now Luoyang, Henan) in the Song Dynasty. Song Huizong (Evonne) was a scholar during his reign. He is the most influential poetry school in Song Dynasty-the representative writer in the later period of Jiangxi Poetry School. He was a doctor of Northern Song Dynasty and imperial academy. After Du Nan, he served as an official assistant minister, and he was tired of being an official. As an outstanding poet at the turn of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, he admired and studied Du Fu in his poetry creation. Pay attention to the reality and the national movement and people's livelihood; There are few allusions and clear words, unlike Huang Tingjian, his predecessor, who pursues "no words and no place". Although the poem "Watching the Rain" has some allusions, it is simple and clear. Due to the clever use of figures of speech such as puns, this work has a broad realm and rich connotations. Understanding and appreciating poetry, especially ancient poetry, should be based on understanding people and discussing the world. Watching the rain was written in the summer of 1 130. In October of the third year of Song Gaozong Jianyan (1 129), nomads attacked Lin 'an (now Hangzhou) and Yuezhou on the southeast front, and then pursued the Emperor of Song Dynasty from the sea. Gaozong fled from Mingzhou to Wenzhou. On the front line of the two lakes (Hunan and Hubei), Jin Bing advanced to Changsha, Hunan in the spring of 1 130. In February of that year, Changsha Shoushuai actively organized the military and civilians to resist stubbornly, and the situation improved slightly. After the fall of Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan), the poet lived in Shaoyang, Hunan, and now lives in the town of Moushan. A summer rain suddenly falls, and the poet's thoughts fly with the rain ... Although this poem is about the rainy scenery, it contains the poet's great concern about the current situation, not to write about the scenery. The first pair of couplets, "Shanke doesn't understand farming, but sits on the ground and watches the rain and shine", points out the identity, mood and demeanor of the poet at this time. "Mountain guest" is the poet's self-description, "guest" points out the situation, and "dragon bell" writes the poet's mental state; "Ignorance of agriculture" means that the poet can't (understand) agriculture and mulberry. Here, the author is telling about that unfortunate era, not introducing himself. Living in a foreign land is because the country is ruined; Mental fatigue is due to drift from place to place; We don't care about farming and mulberry, because in this war-torn era, peaceful production is impossible. The sentence of the first couplet shows the poet's distinct attitude towards this particular era, which is cause and object. Conversation is the fruit, the "master", and "sitting in danger" shows the poet's solemn manner and heavy mood. "Rain or shine is uncertain" is a pun, which is not only the change of weather, but also the dynamic situation of resisting gold at that time. This is naturally related to the previous "Don't Know Farming", and "Watching the Rain" and "The Current Situation" are round and seamless. Parallel couplets write scenes, magnificent, magnificent. Rivers and valleys, forests and mountains, clouds and rain. The poet not only wrote the inherent characteristics of summer clouds and rain, but also expressed his broad and profound thoughts at the moment: isn't the storm surge and heavy rain in the vast area a portrayal of the subversion and relocation of the whole country? Not only the rain scene, but also the present situation is written here. The supreme ruler did not carry out strong resistance, which led to the overwhelming situation of nomadic people. Here, "cloud" and "rain" are skillfully combined. Although the clouds and rain cover the vast and violent, everything in the rain has not completely yielded and the situation is not dark. There is also unyielding resistance in the cloudy rain curtain, and there is also a chance of life in the shaky crisis (here mainly refers to the active anti-gold move of Changsha Shoushuaiyan at that time). Necklace is not only the real scene in front of us, but also the poet's expectation of the situation. The bamboo branches are tenaciously raised, and the light is exposed on the high mountain corner and where the wind blows. Here, the poet's careful observation of rain changes shows that he is highly concerned about reality. The sentence at the end of the couplet is translated from Du Fu's poem "There is no leakage at the bedside", and the antithesis is also translated from Lao Du's poem "Washing the Armored Army for a long time", which is just the opposite here. The author thought of another allusion from the rain: when the king of Wu attacked Yin, it rained heavily. Jiang Taigong said: "This is God washing our armor and helping me attack!" If we raise troops and cut gold in the Song Dynasty, can't we use this heavy rain to wash our weapons? If so, what's wrong with my personal house leaking rain! Of course, the "rain" here refers to good things that help resist gold. For example, actively resist political policies, take effective operational measures, work together with Qi Xin and stimulate the atmosphere of public opinion. , are different from the gloomy oppression and precarious situation mentioned above (this is also a pun in a broad sense). This is determined by the fuzziness of the image, and also by the poet's original intention of caring about the current situation and hoping for a better political situation. The poet grasped the different aspects of "wind", "cloud" and "rain" (especially this "rain") and skillfully used the figure of speech of pun, which reflected the poet's active poetic thinking, broad mind and enriched the connotation of the whole poem. Of course, the whole poem also uses figures of speech such as personification and antithesis, which makes it rich in charm; But the key is the use of pun, which seamlessly integrates the immediate natural phenomena, the poet's perception of natural phenomena and his anxious and profound thinking about reality, broadens the artistic conception of poetry, deepens the connotation of poetry, is full of vitality and has great aesthetic significance. It is the representative work of Chen Xian's poems and also a masterpiece of the same period. Reflect Mr. Chen's gratitude. The profound national disaster and ill-fated life situation made Chen's patriotic enthusiasm gush out. This enthusiasm and his talent are condensed together to form such a heroic poem.
