Jiangnan, the sound of green and red flowers, the waterside village in the foothills.
More than 480 ancient temples were left in the Southern Dynasties, and countless pagodas were shrouded in wind and rain.
This is a landscape poem with a good reputation. A small space depicts a vast picture, not for a specific place, but for the unique scenery of the whole south of the Yangtze River, so it is entitled "Spring in the South of the Yangtze River".
In the first sentence, "A thousand miles of warblers sing green and reflect red", the poet opened his eyes and imagined the whole land of Jiangnan from the spring scenery in front of him. Thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, singing and dancing everywhere, pink and green, a scene full of spring.
At the same time, the poet also showed the lively scene of singing and dancing in Jiangnan in spring from the perspective of sound and hearing. The "a thousand miles" in the poem is wonderful and weighty, which not only expands the aesthetic realm of the poem in space, but also lays the foundation for the later description.
The second sentence, "Guo Jiuqi flutters in the wind", means that there are wine flags fluttering in the wind everywhere in the villages near the water and on the battlements near the mountains.
Here, the poet used Li Jin's rhetorical devices to describe the objects that entered his eyes, such as water towns, hawthorn fruits and wine flags. The third sentence "480 halls in the Southern Dynasties" and "Southern Dynasties" refers to the four dynasties of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen after the Eastern Jin Dynasty and before the Sui Dynasty, all of which were based in Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), which was called the Southern Dynasties in history. This means that the Southern Dynasties left more than 480 ancient temples.
The fourth sentence "There are several towers in misty rain" and "misty rain" is drizzling. Countless towers are shrouded in wind, smoke and rain. Here, the poet appreciates the natural beauty of Jiangnan spring from an aesthetic point of view; The poet realized the aesthetic significance of history and culture through deep thinking and crossing time and space.
"Jiangnan Spring" reflects that the aesthetics in China's poems and paintings are beyond time and space, indifferent and free and easy, with the thought of "epiphany" of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and more poetic feelings of nostalgia, homesickness, seclusion and freehand brushwork.
