Writing background
This poem was written when Bai Juyi was appointed as Hangzhou (822-824 AD). At this time, the poet was far away from the intrigue of the upper political groups, intoxicated with the charming scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and the reward of poetry and wine with friends, and his life was relaxed and comfortable. The poet inadvertently caught an interesting scene of a young man and woman meeting on the lotus pond, and then wrote this poem.
Appreciation of Poetry
Picking Lotus Songs, an old topic in Yuefu, is one of the seven songs in Jiangnan Lane. The content mostly describes the scenery of the water country in the south of the Yangtze River, the working life mode of women picking lotus, and their pursuit of pure love. Poems describing the life of picking lotus appeared very early, and there are Lotus Picking Songs, Lotus Picking in Jiangnan and Lotus Picking in He Tiantian! Between the fish playing lotus leaves: the fish playing lotus leaves east, the fish playing lotus leaves west, the fish playing lotus leaves south and the fish playing lotus leaves north. " In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there appeared many famous works about the life of picking lotus, such as "Xizhou Song", "Picking lotus in southern Tang and autumn, the lotus is extraordinary. Bow your head and get lotus seeds, which are as clear as water. " In the Tang Dynasty, writing lotus picking became a fashion, and many famous writers such as Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Wang Changling, Rong Yu, Cui Guofu and Huangfu Song wrote such poems. Bai Juyi's "Picking Lotus Songs" is particularly delicate and touching.
Bai Juyi's poem describes a shy modal and shy psychology of a girl picking lotus. The first two sentences describe the graceful lotus leaf dancing in the wind, with boats drawn leisurely from the depths of the lotus, and the picture is full of movement. "Water chestnut leaves are rippling in the clear water as far as the eye can see." On the water surface, water chestnut leaves are green, breezes are blowing, water waves are floating, green leaves are swaying with the wind, water chestnut leaves are floating on the green rippling lake, and lotus flowers are swaying in the wind. It is precisely because of the shaking of green leaves that people can see that "the boat in the depths of the lotus leaf is connected." Deep in the lotus, it implies that the lotus is lush and vast, while "the boat is connected" tells readers that someone has activities. It's like a series of long shots of a movie. You can see the scenery first, and then present the characters' activities in it, giving people a real feeling.
Then, the poet used a daily familiar and interesting detail: "Every lang wants to talk, he bows his head and laughs, and Bi Yu scratches his head and falls into the water." The girl picking lotus saw her lover, but she was about to speak but suddenly stopped. She was so shy that she bowed her head and smiled. She didn't want to be careless, and jade hairpin fell into the water on her head. "Bow your head and laugh when you want to talk" not only shows the infinite joy of girls, but also shows the shyness and embarrassment of girls at their first love. "Jade scratching her head in the water" further implies the girl's excited expression of "bowing her head and laughing". The last two sentences are detailed and vivid. The poet carefully depicts the expression and details of the characters, and a girl who wants to talk and laughs shyly appears in front of the readers.
"Picking Lotus Songs" is a folk song genre, and there have been many similar works. However, Bai Juyi did not fall into the stereotype. In just four sentences and twenty-eight words, he wrote both scenery and people, vivid and interesting, in-depth and vivid. This poem uses the old Yuefu poem to describe the love affair between men and women, the shy expression of a girl who wants to talk and bow her head, and the detailed description of scratching her head and falling into the water, all of which are natural and realistic and meaningful. It is like an endless picture, which makes people never tire of reading it.
