Lakeside temple at dawn
Song Dynasty: Yang Wanli
It is the scenery of the West Lake in June, which is really different from other seasons.
Lotus leaves will not turn green the next day, and lotus flowers are particularly bright red in the sun.
Lin Zifang and the poet are like-minded and regard each other as bosom friends. Later, Lin Zifang was transferred from the emperor's side to work in Fuzhou, and the position was well known. Lin Zifang is very happy and thinks that she is a career promotion. Yang Wanli doesn't think so. When sending Lin Zifang to Fuzhou, he wrote this poem to persuade Lin Zifang not to go to Fuzhou.
Yang Wanli's poems are good at drawing lines. From an artistic point of view, this poem has two points worthy of attention: First, reality and reality coexist. The first two sentences are straightforward, just general and empty; The last two sentences describe and show the concrete image, which is true. The combination of reality and reality complements each other. The second is to combine rigidity with softness. The lotus leaf and lotus flower written in the last two sentences are generally classified as feminine, but the poet writes very magnificently and has a broad realm, with "heaven" and "heaven". Language is also very imposing: "connecting the sky" and "infinite". In this way, masculinity and femininity are harmoniously unified in poetry.
Fourteen years of Song Xiaozong Xichun (1 187). After Lin Zifang was promoted to Jinshi, he served as the secretary of Zhige, and Yang Wanli was his superior and good friend. At this time, Lin Zifang went to work in Fuzhou, and Yang Wanli saw Lin Zifang off from Jingci Temple near Hangzhou West Lake in the morning. When passing by the West Lake, he wrote two poems. The second poem is: "After all, the scenery in the West Lake is different from that at four o'clock in June. The next day, the lotus leaf is infinitely blue, and the lotus color is different. "
From the content, this poem describes the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in Hangzhou in June, and expresses deep affection and heartfelt wishes to friends by praising the beautiful scenery of the West Lake! The poet wishes his friends brilliant career and bright future by writing "Liantian" and "Infinitely Beautiful" lotus leaves. Write "reflecting the sun" and "another kind of red" lotus flowers, wishing friends can create a dazzling and unique life.
From the metrical point of view, this poem is the first four-line poem with rhyme, with the rhyme of "Yidong" in Ping Shui Yun. The format of the standard is: "Flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat flat The two poems at the end of the poem use antithesis, which belongs to antithesis. "Lian Tian" and "Ying Ri" are verb-object verbs; "Lotus leaf" and "lotus" are partial nouns; "Infinite blue" and "different red" are both partial formal phrases.
Structurally, literary creation is poetry, ci, qu, fu, parallel prose, etc. Pay attention to the structure to avoid confusion. Clever structure makes a masterpiece. This poem adopts the structure of "induction first, then articles". First, the title is "the scenery of the West Lake is unique in June", and then it is described from two aspects: First, the lotus leaf is "even in the sky" and "infinitely beautiful". Second, the lotus is "reflecting the sun" and "different red". By depicting lotus leaves and lotus flowers, the uniqueness of the West Lake in June is reflected.
To sum up, Yang Wanli's poem "Seeing Lin Zifang at Dawn from Jingci Temple" is rich in content, profound in artistic conception, rigorous in structure and standardized in meter, and it is a famous poem that has been passed down through the ages.
