I saw these people, who didn't know each other, singing the poem of "picking Wei" in The Book of Songs.
Appreciation
The whole poem expresses loneliness and depression in the bleak and quiet scenery description, expressing melancholy and loneliness.
"When I look at Donggao at dusk, what can I rely on for migration?" Gao is a waterside land. Donggao refers to a place in Longmen, Jiangzhou, his hometown. After he retired, he often traveled to Beishan and Donggao, calling himself "Donggaozi". "Rely" means to wander. "What do you want?" uses the meaning in Cao Cao's "Short Songs" that "the moon stars are scarce, the blackbirds fly south, and there are three turns around the tree, and there are no branches to rely on", which shows the feeling of being bored and hesitant.
The following four sentences describe the scenery seen in the dusk: "All trees are autumn, and only the hills and mountains are shining. Shepherds drive calves back, hunting horses and bringing birds back. " Looking around, there is autumn everywhere, which is more and more bleak in the afterglow of the sunset. On this quiet background, the close-ups of shepherds and hunting horses, with an idyllic pastoral atmosphere, make the whole picture active. These four poems are like a picture of a mountain family in the autumn evening. Light and color, long-range and close-range, static and dynamic are well matched.
However, Wang Ji can't find comfort in the countryside like Tao Yuanming, so he finally said, "I don't know each other, and Long song is pregnant with Wei." He said that he was lonely in reality, so he had to make friends with people like Boyi and Shu Qi.
people who are familiar with Tang poetry may not find this poem particularly beneficial. However, if we read this poem from Song, Qi, Liang and Chen Yilu in the Southern Dynasties in the order of the history of poetry, we will suddenly applaud its simplicity. Most of the southern dynasties' poetic styles are gorgeous, like a jewel-like lady wrapped in satin. Walking out of the ladies' group, I suddenly met a village girl with a cloth skirt, and her simple beauty without makeup would have a special charm. Wang Ji's Wild Hope has such a simple advantage.
The genre of this poem is a five-character poem. Since Shen Yue and others applied the knowledge of temperament to poetry creation in the next year of Qiyong in the Southern Dynasty, this new genre of rhythmic poetry has been brewing. By the early Tang Dynasty, Shen Quanqi and Song Zhiwen's rhythmic poems were stereotyped and became an important poetic genre. Wang Ji, who was more than 6 years earlier than Shen and Song, has been able to write such a mature poem as Wild Hope, which shows that he is a man who dares to try new forms. The beginning and end of this poem are lyrical and the middle is lyrical. After the repetition of emotion-scene-emotion, the meaning of the poem has deepened. This is in line with a basic composition of rhythmic poetry.
Appreciating
Wang Ji's Wild Hope is one of the earliest five-character poems in the early Tang Dynasty, with its wide range and fresh style. Yao Wang Qu said: This poem is the clearest in style, so it should be rolled up. Depending on this, it is clear that the transition from inheritance to integration in the law.
