Annotations on Wang Shipeng’s Wang Jiuhua

"Looking at Jiuhua"

I crossed Chiyang, climbed to the county tower, looked at Jiuhua, and saw only one peak. The boat came out of the clear stream and saw it, but it was still lost in the clouds and mist. We stayed at Mengpu in the evening and saw all the peaks.

The beauty of Jiuhua is not in the mountains. Looking at it from the river, it is beautiful and clear in the distance. Taibai is also singing and singing. Every time the boat stops on the forest bank, I feel that the nine sons are leaning towards each other.

There is a saying in "The Analects of Confucius": "The benevolent people enjoy mountains, and the wise people enjoy water." (Benevolent people like mountains, smart people like water, which means that people have their own interests.) Landscape scenery , has aroused the infinite sentiments of countless literati in ancient and modern times, and they have dedicated a large number of beautiful chapters praising natural landscapes to us.

1. Understanding the author

Wang Shipeng is a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty and a native of Yueqing, Wenzhou, Zhejiang.

2. Translation

I visited Chi In Yangjun, when I climbed up the city tower and looked at Jiuhua Mountain, I could only see one peak. I took a boat out from the Qingxi River (outside the far gate of Junzheng Nantong) and saw Jiuhua Mountain, but Jiuhua Mountain was still hidden or visible in the clouds and fog. In the evening, when the ship was anchored in Megan Harbor, we could clearly see the peaks of Jiuhua.

The beauty of Mount Jiuhua does not lie in Mount Jiuhua. Looking at Jiuhua Mountain from the river, Jiuhua Mountain is handsome and elegant, clear and distant, and the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the river (adding to the charm of Jiuhua Mountain), leaving a long-lasting memory in people's hearts. I also remember Li Taibai's poem praising Mount Jiuhua. Whenever the boat is moored on the river bank, I feel that the nine peaks are reluctant to leave.

3. The poet viewed Jiuhua Mountain from various angles (fixed scenery and changing points)

Passing, climbing, and looking → only saw one peak

Take a boat out from Qingxi Later → I saw it, but it was still lost in the clouds

I stayed at Mengpu in the evening → I finally saw the peaks

(from blurry to clear, from upstairs to water) , looking at Jiuhua from afar, indistinctly among the clouds and mist, to looking at the peaks up close, one appearing and the other disappearing)

The perspectives are different, the scenery is different, the word "look" is fastened to make a full article, making the lifeless The landscape gradually emerges with interest.

4. The poet’s understanding of the “Victory of Jiuhua”

Jiuhua Mountain has beautiful scenery and ancient temples like forests. It can be said that the scenery is alluring, but the author has his own unique feelings. .

The author believes that if you want to win the victory of Jiuhua, you should look at Jiuhua from the river in the evening: the Jiuhua Mountain with its "elegant, clear and distant" appearance against the "sunset" will make people "miao". But in my heart." Finally, he used personification to express his feelings for Mount Jiuhua. He empathized with things and wrote that the peaks of Jiuhua were reluctant to leave and stood facing people. He was writing about his deep affection for the victorious scenery of Jiuhua. The author realizes the real victory of Jiuhua - things are happy with each other, and things and I are forgotten.

Appendix 1: Don’t harm the public when you get promoted

Wang Shipeng has been very smart and hardworking since he was a child. When he was studying in the county town, he was already full of knowledge and good at writing. The reputation has spread throughout the county. There is an alley in the county town, and there lives a wealthy official. He doesn't have much ink in his belly, but he likes to make friends with famous people, put on a facade for himself, and increase his worth. Several times, Wang Shipeng of the Qing Dynasty went to banquets and wrote poems, but Wang Shipeng politely declined. Despite this, he still never forgets to invite Wang Shipeng. Once, he heard from a traveler that Wang Shipeng respected the old gentleman who taught in the academy. When the old gentleman went out to visit relatives and friends, Wang Shipeng always accompanied him. This traveler was full of ideas and immediately came up with an idea for Qian Baixiang: "Sir, please choose an auspicious day and invite the old gentleman and Wang Shipeng to have a drink with him. As long as the old gentleman is willing to reward him, Wang Shipeng will come. He will come." As soon as he comes to the door, the master can stop him from writing poems." Qian Baixiang smiled happily and nodded repeatedly. On this day, Qian Baixiang sent someone to deliver the invitation, and specially prepared a table of fine wine and food, waiting for the old gentleman and Wang Shipeng to come as guests. It didn't take long before the old gentleman was invited, and Wang Shipeng actually came with him. As soon as he arrived at the door of Qian's house, Wang Shipeng wanted to go home alone, but was stopped by Qian Baixiang's arrangement. In this way, Wang Shipeng couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to walk into Qian's house and accompany the old man to the banquet. After eating for a while, Wang Shipeng helped the old man stand up to express his gratitude. Just as he was about to leave, Qian Baixiang's servant stopped him. Qian Baixiang handed over the paper and pen he had prepared with both hands and said respectfully: "I have nothing else to ask for. I just hope that the talented scholar will write a poem for me." , as a souvenir."

Wang Shipeng saw the leech biting the heron's feet and had no choice but to take the pen and paper and said: "I am a poor scholar who cannot write good poems. I don't know what the master is doing. What's the title?"

"How about calling it 'Qian Baixiangsheng'? If you want to win, please embed these four little words at the beginning of each sentence."

Wang Shipeng frowned after hearing this, and with a stroke of his pen, he wrote a limerick:

The Qian family has baskets full of fish and meat,

The people are hungry with bran and vegetables.

When you enjoy happiness, don’t Don't forget to create blessings for others.

When you get promoted, don’t bring disaster to the people.

While reading, the old gentleman praised: "What a poem! What a poem!" Qian Baixiang read it, but he was dumb and couldn't tell the pain.

Because Wang Shipeng wrote his poem after he was stopped here, people call this nameless alley "Poetry Blocking Alley".
