This sentence comes from the poem "Spring Dawn" by Meng Haoran, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, which describes the scene of beautiful spring and the awakening of everything. This poem expresses the poet's sigh and appreciation for the beautiful scenery and vitality of spring through the description of "spring breeze", "river on the road" and "peach blossom". The description of "wordless" transforms the feeling of this beautiful scenery into a deep artistic conception and unspeakable feelings, implying the artistic conception of Zen poetry.
Poetry chanting things is one of the classic genres in ancient China literature, which mainly describes things and has distinctive features. As an object-chanting poem, Meng Haoran's "Spring Dawn" depicts the beautiful and vibrant scene of spring from the perspective of natural scenery. This poem is full of artistic conception and aesthetic feeling.
"I wake up in this beautiful spring morning, surrounded by birds and flowers" depicts the scene of spring morning, birds and flowers, showing the excitement and vitality of spring. And "but now I still remember that night, that storm, I don't know how many flowers were broken" shows the unstable side of spring. Spring rain brings spring flowers, but there are also withering and disappearing caused by wind and rain, which makes people have to think about the shortness of life and the impermanence of the world.
"Spring breeze is ten miles along Yangzhou Road, not as good as rolling bead curtain" depicts the spring in Yangzhou. Under the spring breeze, the scenery is picturesque, but the beauty in the poet's eyes is not comparable to the manipulation of capital and power. This description not only depicts the scene of spring, but also makes people think about the true meaning of life and how human greed and material value affect this true meaning.
Meng Haoran lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and his poems were full of beautiful artistic sense and profound thoughts. As one of his representative works, Spring Dawn not only shows his praise for the beautiful scenery in spring and his love for nature, but also contains many philosophical explorations and profound thoughts on life.
It seems that the peach blossom is still speechless.
The sentence "It seems that the peach blossom is still speechless" uses anthropomorphic techniques to compare the peach blossom to a living thing, and uses "speechless" to describe that the peach blossom has no voice and no language to express its inner feelings, suggesting that people need to understand and feel life from the silence of the peach blossom.
In ancient poetry, personification is often used to arouse people's thinking and artistic conception through the comparison between life and non-life. Peach blossom, as a natural existence, looks beautiful, but it is compared to "wordlessness" here, which reflects a profound philosophical thinking: life is short, and everything in the world needs people to get more information from wordless discussions, and then try to figure it out in their hearts.
Even though the peach blossom is as beautiful as a conscious creature, it can't speak. We need to use our hearts to perceive the beauty, sadness, birth, illness and death of all things in the world, to get inspiration, to think and understand the true meaning of life.
