Poetry appreciation
Ode to Snow, selected from Shi Shuo Xin Yu Yan, concisely outlines the scene of Xie's children chanting poems about snow in a sudden snowy day, and shows a relaxed and harmonious picture of ancient family cultural life. The article appreciates Xie Daowen's literary talent by describing his demeanor and supplementing his identity.
"Mrs. Xie got together on a cold snowy day and told the children the meaning of the paper." The first sentence of the article explains the background of chanting snow. Just fifteen words, covering a lot. The Xie family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is a well-known home of poetry, ceremony and tassels, and its leader is Xie Taifu, that is, Xie An. In such a family, if you can't go out on a snowy day, you can "talk about the meaning of paper." The convener and spokesman are naturally Xie An, and the audience is "children". Time, place, people and events are all mentioned. Then write the main event and sing the snow. In fact, it is the speaker who tests the audience. Why does the speaker have such an interest? It turns out that the weather has changed: "Suddenly it snows". There was snow earlier, but it was not big, and now it has become a vortex of goose feather and heavy snow. This made the speaker feel very happy, so "Gong Xinran said:' What is snow like?' Brother Hu said,' The difference between sprinkling salt and air can be simulated.' Brother and daughter said,' If catkins are not caused by the wind.' There may be many answers, but the author only recorded two: one is "sprinkling salt in the air" as Xie Lang said; The other is what Xie Daowen said: "Catkin is due to the wind". The speaker did not evaluate the pros and cons of these two answers, but just smiled, which was very intriguing. The author did not show his position, but at the end he added the identity of Xie Daowen, "that is, the eldest brother has no concubine, and the wife of General Zuo Wang Ningzhi is also. "This is a strong hint that he appreciates and praises Xie Daowen's talent.
