Two poems with reflections on reading the book·Appreciation of the first one
This is a famous poem that uses scenery as a metaphor. The whole poem uses Fangtang as a metaphor to vividly express a subtle and indescribable feeling of reading. The pond is not a pool of stagnant water, but constantly filled with living water, so it is like a mirror, crystal clear, reflecting the sky and cloud shadows. This situation is quite similar to the situation when the same person solves the problem in reading, gains new knowledge and gains a lot, and improves his understanding. The flow of spiritual energy, clear thinking, fresh and lively spirit and contentment expressed in this poem are exactly the author's personal reading experience as a great scholar. Although the feeling expressed in the poem is only for reading, it has profound meaning and rich connotation, and can be widely understood. Especially the two sentences "Ask the canal how clear it is, because there is living water from the source." The reason why the water is clear is because there is continuous injection of living water from the source. It implies that if people want to have a clear mind, they must study hard and add new knowledge from time to time. Therefore, people often use it as a metaphor to continuously learn new knowledge in order to reach a new realm. People also use these two poems to praise a person's knowledge or artistic achievements, which has its own profound origin. Readers can also get inspiration from this poem. Only when the mind is always active, with an open and broad mind, accepts all kinds of different ideas, fresh knowledge, and is broadly tolerant can we continue to have new ideas and new ideas. These two lines of poetry have been condensed into the commonly used idiom "source of living water", which is used to metaphor the source and driving force of the development of things.
This is a very artistic and philosophical little poem. When people appreciate calligraphy works, they often have a spirited artistic feeling. Poems use symbolic techniques to turn this inner feeling into concrete images that can be felt and depicted, allowing readers to appreciate the mystery on their own. The so-called "living water from the source" should refer to the inexhaustible artistic inspiration in the writer's heart.
The meaning of the poem is very profound. The source of living water is used to metaphorically describe the rich inspiration of calligraphy art, which is the real inexhaustible source of calligraphy art works. It illustrates the author's unique reading experience. It is in line with the characteristics of calligraphy artistic creation and also reflects the essence of general artistic creation. Two Poems with Impressions on Reading · One Appreciation 2
This is a philosophical poem expressing the experience of reading, "Half an acre of square pond opens, the skylight and cloud shadows linger endlessly", half an acre of "Fangtang" is not big, only a square pond with half an acre of land, but it is as clear and bright as a mirror. The "jian" of "Yijian" is the "mirror", the mirror that reflects people, "mirror" ” and “jian” have the same meaning. "Half Acre Fangtang" opened like a mirror. Although the "half-acre square pond" is not big, it is as clear and clear as a mirror, reflecting the "light of the sky, clouds and shadows". Sparkling and floating, the mood is clear. As a description of scenery, this can also be said to be very vivid. The image itself presented by these two sentences can give people a sense of beauty, make people feel clear and open-minded. This perceptual image itself also contains something rational. It is obvious that the water in the "half-acre square pond" is very deep and clear, so it can reflect the "skylight and cloud shadows"; on the contrary, if it is very shallow and very dirty, it cannot reflect it, or it cannot accurately reflect it. reflect.
The poet seized on this point to further explore and wrote three or four sentences that are quite philosophical: "Ask the canal how clear it is? For living water to come from a source." "Ask The "gul" of "gul" is not the "gul" of "a ditch of water". It is equivalent to the meaning of "it", which here refers to the square pond. "Ask him" means "ask him". In this case "it" refers to "Fangtang". The poet did not say how deep "Fangtang" is. The third line of the poem highlights the word "Qing", and "Qing" already includes "deep". Because if the pond water does not have a certain depth, even if it is "clear", it will not reflect the mood of "the lingering sky, light, clouds and shadows". The poet grasped that the pond water is "deep" and "clear", which can reflect the characteristics of "sky light, cloud shadow".
But the poet did not end there, he raised a further question. "Ask" that "square pond" "How clear is it?" Ask why it is so "clear" and can reflect "skylight, clouds and shadows". There is no way to answer this question when looking at the "Fangtang" in isolation. The poet then broadened his horizons and looked from a distance. Finally, he saw the "source" of "Fangtang" and found the answer. Just because "Fangtang" is not water without a source, but has a "source" that never dries up, which continuously delivers "living water" to it. Due to the continuous input of "source living water", this "fondang" will never dry up, never become stale, never become dirty, and will always be "deep" and "clear". "Clear" is enough to reflect not only "skylight and cloud shadows", but also such detailed moods as "skylight" and "cloud shadows" and "*** lingering". This is the image displayed in this little poem and its ideological meaning.
