In front of Mount Cisse, egrets fly freely, plump mandarin fish swim happily on the river, and peaches floating on the water are so bright and full. An old man in the bank, wearing a green bamboo hat raincoat and a green raincoat, braved the wind and rain and fished leisurely. He was fascinated by the beautiful spring scenery and didn't even go home in the rain.
After Li Bai, more and more literati wrote lyrics in the Tang Dynasty. Zhang, Wei, Dai Shulun, Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi and others were all famous poets and poets in the middle Tang Dynasty.
Zhang (around 756) wrote five songs about fishing. This is the first and best song. These words, Huang Sheng's wonderful Tang and Song poems, say that they can tell the story of fishermen well, but I don't think so. Because Zhang Ci expresses the hermit interest of intellectuals in feudal times, it does not really describe the life of fishermen. The reason why Zhang idealized the life of fishermen at that time was to show that he refused to go along with the evil ruling group. Such themes are common in China's ancient poems, needless to say. It is worth noting that Zhang, as a poet and painter, is willing to express his aesthetic feelings with folk words, and strives to combine poetry and painting, which has made valuable contributions to improving the artistic level of Ci.
Today, when we read this word, we still feel fresh and lovely, as if showing us a poetic landscape painting. Besides great aesthetic enjoyment, you can also learn a lot of superb artistic skills.
This word describes the colorful and vibrant water towns in the south of the Yangtze River in spring. The first two sentences describe the scenery: the first sentence describes the Cisai Mountain (now west of Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province) and what is seen in front of the mountain, and the second sentence describes the Tiaoxi water and everything in it. In front of the lush Cisse Mountain, a group of white egrets are flying in the blue sky. In Tiaoxi, sandwiched between peach blossoms, countless fat mandarin fish swim around the bottom of the water, or play on the water to chase colorful lost English. The first sentence is shine on you; The last sentence is pink green. Mountains and rivers set each other off, up and down, and the picture is three-dimensional. Although it is only a few faint strokes, it has neither gorgeous words nor excessive exaggeration, but its color is extremely gorgeous, showing the vitality of birds flying and fish jumping. The last three sentences, writing about fishermen, are actually writing about the poet himself. He wore a green bamboo hat and green hemp fiber, facing the oblique wind and the drizzle, wandering in the picture frame of nature, how carefree he looked! The poet's broad-minded optimism and contempt for the secular are faintly visible between the lines.
In a word, there are only 27 words.
In the middle of the painting, such a charming scenery is outlined, and the character and feelings of the lyric hero are vividly expressed in the painting. Its artistic skills are impressive!
Su Shi's "Two Folded Branches Painted in the Master Book of King Yanling" said: "Poetry and painting are integrated, ingenious and fresh." Taking nature and freshness as the highest aesthetic requirement of poetry and painting has become the knowledge of many artists in China. They always strive for the combination of poetry and painting, so that there is painting in poetry or poetry in painting, such as Wang Wei, whom Su Shi admires. This has become the same style of many artists in China, because readers always prefer to appreciate poetry through pictures. On the contrary, it is easy for readers to get bored by talking abstractly in poetry. This is why the first of Zhang's five "Fishing Songs" is the most popular among readers.
Su Shi and Huang Tingjian used this word to fill in other tones. According to the textual research of Tang Guizhang's Song Ci, Su Shi used Huanxisha:
Egrets fly in front of mount cisse, and the sails outside yanghuazhou are tiny. Peach blossom and flowing water mandarin fish fertilizer.
Self-protection with a green bamboo hat, with green hemp fiber everywhere, oblique wind and drizzle do not need to return.
Huang Tingjian used "Partridge Day":
In front of Mount Cisse, egrets fly freely, plump mandarin fish swim happily on the river, and peaches floating on the water are so bright and full. The imperial court is still looking for Xuanzhenzi. Where are more poems now?
An old man in the bank, wearing a green bamboo hat raincoat and a green raincoat, braved the wind and rain and fished leisurely. He was fascinated by the beautiful spring scenery and didn't even go home in the rain. Is there no wave in the world? The storm is twelve o'clock a day.
Although Su and Huang are both celebrities, what they have achieved is also a good sentence. But it's not enough. It tastes like mechanical plagiarism. As Liu Xizai said in Volume 4 of An Introduction to Art, it is not as good as the original words. The most important thing in art is innovation, gilding the lily, and the dog's tail continues to be martyrdom, all of which are redundant. The reason why Zhang's first poem can be passed down through the ages is that it is vivid, natural and true, can integrate feelings into the scenery, and has unique creation in the combination of poetry and painting.
Zhang's five "Fishing Songs" soon spread to Japan. At that time, the Japanese Emperor Emei, the Prince of Emperor Naoko, and Master Zizhen all wrote works of harmony and became pioneers of Japanese Ci. This is a much-told story in the history of Sino-Japanese cultural exchange.
