The autumn wind becomes so humane in Ye Shaoweng's writings: the swaying Wu leaves bring out the cold sound, and the autumn wind on the river stirs up the sentiments of the guests.
What I saw in the night book
Author: Ye Shaoweng (Song Dynasty)
The swaying leaves send the cold sound, and the autumn wind on the river stirs up the guest sentiment.
I know that there are children picking and knitting, and a light falls on the fence late at night.
"What I See in a Night Book" is a seven-character quatrain composed by Ye Shaoweng, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The rustling autumn wind blows the sycamore leaves, sending bursts of chill. The poet who is traveling abroad can't help but miss his hometown. One or two sentences describe the scenery, using the falling leaves, rustling autumn wind, and chilly air to express the desolate feeling of the wanderer wandering and lonely. Three or four sentences describe a child catching crickets at night, with high spirits, which cleverly contrasts the sadness and highlights the loneliness and helplessness of being a guest in a foreign land. This poem describes the feeling of homesickness while traveling in hometown, but the author does not write about how he lives alone in a solitude and misses his hometown, but focuses on the small scene at night. "See" in "What You See in the Night Book" is an ancient and modern word, but in this article it means seeing, seeing. So "jiàn" should be read here. The understanding of the whole poem should be: (Title) Write about the scene you miss in the lonely night. (Verse) The rustling autumn wind blows the Wuye leaves, sending bursts of chill. The poet who is traveling abroad can't help but miss his hometown. What worries me the most is my beloved child, who may still be fighting crickets with great interest at this time and refuses to sleep in the dead of night.
This poem is intertwined with the author's sadness, warmth, joy and concern. The aesthetic nature of the ancient poem "What I See in the Night Book" can be appreciated from nine aspects.
1. Use scenery to express emotions and use scenery to express emotions. One or two sentences describe the natural environment, the rustling of falling trees, the sound of cold, the autumn wind and the autumn river, conveying the feeling of wandering, sadness and loneliness; it triggers the feeling of longing written in the last two sentences, thinking that the children at home may still be playing at night by midnight. , teasing cricket fights. When you are lonely, you fantasize about your family relationship, and the desolate scenery makes you miss the joy of play. The scenery blends into the emotions, setting off each other, and the conception is wonderful.
2. Combining movement and stillness, using movement to contrast stillness. Autumn leaves, autumn wind, autumn sounds, autumn rivers, autumn boats, solitary lanterns, naughty children, and fighting crickets are all pictures of moving scenes, which are moving with sound and color, light and shadow. The hut under the fence, in the deep night, with endless darkness, is a picture of quiet scenes. The silence is so desolate that it makes people feel melancholy. The fallen leaves and the rustle of the wind inspired the poet to miss his relatives at home in the quiet late autumn night.
3. Sadness and joy are intertwined, covering up sadness with joy. One or two sentences describe the tragic scene, the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, and the long sky brings chill; three or four sentences describe the joy, weaving in the middle of the night, and thinking about the joy in a different place. One is sad and the other is happy, the sadness and joy are mixed together, and the sadness is covered up with joy, which further shows the loneliness and helplessness of the wanderer wandering the world, and the strong longing for his family.
4. The virtual and the real complement each other, and the real reflects the virtual. The first and second sentences of the four sentences in the poem describe the actual scene seen: the sound of falling leaves is cold, the water is moving and the wind is cool; the third and fourth sentences are written to trigger imagination: the lights are on in the dark night, and children watch the crickets fighting. What you see and hear is either bright or dark, with reality and reality contrasting with each other. My ears are full of autumn sounds, my eyes are full of autumn nights, and I am filled with nostalgia. There is emptiness in reality, emptiness in reality, few words but endless meaning!
5. Be fascinated and interact with each other from far and near. The poet suffered from the loneliness of the night and developed a attachment to his relatives far away. Although we are thousands of miles away, the playful scene is still in front of us. The sound of cold leaves nearby is disturbing, and family happiness is coming all the time. That thing and that scene make people sigh endlessly.
6. There are two points of cold and warm, "cold" and "pick" are expressive. The word "cold" is a pun, which not only conveys the chilly feeling when the autumn wind blows, but also implies the desolation of being at the end of the world. The word "pick" is reflected in the realistic details. The scenes of children playing attentively, picking and picking, watching the cricket fight with bated breath, and exclaiming with joy are all described in one "pick". "Choose" the character, "Choose" the charm, and "Choose" the warmth of Si Yi's relatives!
7. "Move" and "know" are done in one breath. The poem uses fallen leaves to "send" the cold, and the sound of the cold "moves" feelings. The love touches the loved ones, missing relatives and comforting the silence, all in one continuous breath. "Motion" is the "bone" of the poem, and "knowledge (thinking)" is the "heart" of the poem. They are well connected before and after, so that the whole poem rises and falls appropriately and has a certain degree of expansion.
8. Use allusions secretly to make your intentions clear. "The autumn wind on the river stirs up guest sentiment" is an allusion to Zhang Han's resignation. It is said that Zhang Han, a native of Jin Dynasty, lived in Luoyang as an official. When he saw the autumn wind, he missed his hometown, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, fulfilling his wish. "Autumn makes people feel sad" can better convey the poet's mood of being away from home and full of homesickness.
9. Skillful use of rhetoric and lasting affection. "The rustling of the wu leaves brings the cold sound, and the autumn wind on the river stirs up the guest sentiment." This "send" and "move" embody emotions in things, giving the Wuye and the autumn wind human moods and thoughts. These poems and essays about physical objects, sounds, and emotions can bring readers into the artistic conception of the cold wind and the moving autumn river, which makes people obsessed with it and full of melancholy. "The sound of rustling Wuye leaves bringing coldness" uses synaesthesia wonderfully, using the sound of rustling to stimulate a desolate mood, and using auditory images to communicate tactile feelings, which has a long meaning.
