Appreciation

This poem "Farewell in the Mountains" does not describe the scene of farewell from the pavilion, but the ingenuity and choice of writing and inking that are completely different from ordinary farewell poems. point.

The first line of the poem, "Let's see each other off in the mountains," tells the reader at the beginning that it's time to see each other off. The words of farewell are used to separate the scene and feelings of farewell, using a seemingly emotionless " The word "stop" was written in one stroke. Here, there is a jump of time from sending each other to sending each other off. The second sentence jumps from sending off pedestrians in the daytime to "the sun sets over the wood door", which jumps over a longer period of time. When the poet integrated life into the poem, he cut out the feelings and thoughts of the farewell person during this period and treated them as a dark scene.

Anyone who has experienced parting knows that the moment before the pedestrian is gone is certainly depressing, but a sense of loneliness and loss often becomes worse at sunset on the day after parting. Heavy, denser. At this most difficult time to deal with the sadness of separation, there must be a myriad of things to write about; however, the poem only contains the act of "covering the firewood". This is an extremely common thing that people who live in the mountains do every day at dusk, and it seems to have nothing to do with saying goodbye during the day. But the poet connected these two things that were originally unrelated to each other, making this action that was repeated every day show a different meaning from the past, thus embedding the feelings of separation in the lines and the sorrow of separation in the words. Readers will naturally see the lonely demeanor and melancholy mood of the people in the poem; at the same time, they will also think: after the sunset comes the night, how will they spend this long night after the Chaimen is closed? The blank space left outside this sentence makes people think back to the infinite.

The third and fourth sentences in the poem, "The spring grass will be green next year, and the kings and grandchildren will not return" are derived from the sentence "The kings and grandchildren will not return from their travels, but the spring grass will be lush" in "Chu Ci: Recruiting Hermits" . But the poem is about sighing because the wanderer has been gone for a long time and will never come back. These two lines of poems are about the fear that the traveler will be gone for a long time and never come back on the day when he parted with the traveler. Tang Ruxun summarized the content of this poem in "Interpretation of Tang Poems" as follows: "The door is hidden in the dusk, and people can only think deeply when they are away; the grass is sometimes green, and it is difficult for travelers to return home." And "the return date is difficult to determine", it is precisely One of the reasons for "thinking far away". "Will you come home or not?" is a question that should be asked to travelers when they say goodbye, but here it only comes to mind when the travelers have gone and the sun is closing the door. It has become a question that does not exist. Exit suspense. In this way, what is written is not the usual words to say when saying goodbye, but the expression of deep feelings after "farewell", which shows that the person in the poem is still shrouded in thoughts of separation until the sunset. Although they have just broken up, they are already looking forward to their early separation. After returning, I am afraid that he will not come back for a long time. As mentioned before, there are two periods of time skipped from "seeing each other off" to "covering the firewood door"; here, at sunset on the day of farewell, I think of the green grass in the coming year and ask when I will return. No return, this is another jump from the present to the future, and the jump time is even longer.

This farewell poem does not describe the reluctance to leave the pavilion, but goes a step further to express the hope of reunion after farewell. This is something that goes beyond ordinary farewell poems. At the beginning, the scene of farewell is hidden, and the writing begins with "Farewell", and then the loneliness of returning home after farewell is thicker and thicker, paving the way for the title of looking forward to his return, so he thinks that there is a time for the spring grass to become green again, and the return of the departed person. But it is difficult to determine. The feeling of farewell is beyond words. There is meaning in the mind and taste in the outside. It is truly ingenuity and one of a kind.

Wang Wei is good at picking up seemingly ordinary materials from life and using simple and natural language to show deep and sincere feelings, which is far-reaching. This poem "Farewell in the Mountains" is like this.
