Moonlit Night on a Spring River is a landscape poem, which needs no careful reading, but we can get a glimpse from its title, because the whole title is composed of images. Spring, river, flowers, trees, bright moon and night. Each of these five images is so meaningful in itself, and each image appears in many famous articles as an absolute protagonist. Here, these different images occasionally meet and interact, and they are so perfectly integrated in front of the author.
"Lian Haiping is in the spring tide, and the bright moon at sea is born in the tide." In the first couplet, the river and the bright moon are connected by the ocean. On the river surface where the ice and snow melt first in spring, the tides spread forward wave after wave and have been connected with the sea. The camera starts from the river bank where the author is located, uses the author's imagination as a compass, "pushes the camera" along the waves, and finally stops in the vast and calm sea. From one point to infinity in length and width. Then, the plane becomes three-dimensional and the lens begins to rise and shrink. There was a bright moon above the lens, and the waves that led the lens to the sea appeared in the moonlight, as if the bright moon sprouted from the sea with the tide.
"I drift with the tide for thousands of miles, and there is no moon by the river." The further integration of the moon and the river is not only the integration of the moon itself and the river itself, but also the moonlight from the moon and the high tide in the river, and this integration is not only on the sea, but in every river. The last scene has gone beyond the capabilities of the camera. "The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlight shines on the forest. Frost flows in the air, you can't fly, but you can't see the white sand on the pavilion. There is no dust in the river, and there is a solitary moon wheel in the sky. " Rivers meet flowers and trees, and the moon, which has long been closely connected with rivers, naturally meets flowers and trees. The moon is too bright, shining on the flower forest, the river bank and the whole space, so there is clear moonlight everywhere.
There is no dust on the river, and there is a solitary wheel in the sky and the moon. Everything is simplified to the simplest, a state of beauty, a state of peace. "White clouds are far away", the static environment continues, but there is movement in this static environment, and the scenery shrinks to the simplest and then expands.
"Wandering upstairs in a poor month, you should leave someone to fill the mirror table", and there is moonlight in this unfolding. Light and mirror are always a perfect match in the scenery, and the changes of refraction, reflection, light and shade, light and shadow are endless. "I dreamed of falling flowers last night", and there were flowers and water in this unfolding. Flowers fall one by one, into the pool, slightly shaking, the action begins to slow down, and the light beam begins to gather again. "The falling moon shook the trees of the whole river." After the flowers fell, the moon began to fall, drifting with the flow and falling with the flowers, completing a cycle. The remaining moonlight shines on the trees, and the shadows of the trees are sprinkled on the river, which also shakes slightly with the tide.
Moonlit Night on a Spring River, where there are five images, is obviously one image.
This part is most closely related to Jiang Xun's Tang poems. I don't know much about philosophy, so it's difficult to integrate with poetry. Teacher Jiang Xun has completely opened a new horizon for me. Moonlit Night on the Spring River was written in the early Tang Dynasty, which was in line with the social characteristics of openness and tolerance in the Tang Dynasty. The whole article has a grand cosmic consciousness. The eyes of the Tang people are always far away. They were not too depressed by their separation. Everything is so free and easy. Perhaps it can also be said that the eyes of the Tang people never focused on the body, but on the larger nature and universe.
"Even the sea level spring tide, the bright moon * * * tide at sea. As I said before, these words have been pulling the camera away, and with the expansion of space, people's mental state has also expanded. Zhang himself is just a small life. It stands to reason that his own vision is only a little in front of him. But through imagination, "borrowing literature and life experience" can be expanded. At the same time, there is also a kind of "selfless heaven and earth" Laozi and Zhuangzi thought. Besides the rivers covered by moonlight that I see, thousands of rivers that I can't see are also covered by moonlight. The moon doesn't care about the relationship between this river and human beings. Apart from "seeing things by myself, everything is my color", everything itself always exists objectively. Beyond human ethics, there is a bigger heaven.
"The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlight shines like flowers and trees; You can't feel the frost flying in the air or see it on the white sand. " On the one hand, these words describe the scenery and the brightness of moonlight, on the other hand, they describe the emptiness of heaven and earth. In these four sentences, "the river washes away the fragrance of flowers and the moonlight filters the color of flowers", and all subjective impressions are slowly filtered out. Originally, the white sand on the river bank could not be seen at all, and everything that existed could make people feel that it did not exist, which further weakened the authenticity of subjective perception.
"There is no dust in the river, and there is a solitary moon wheel in the sky." The scenery has changed from "full" to "empty", and there is only one bright moon left in front of us. We have entered an ethereal state of the universe, and a great sense of loneliness naturally arises. This is a kind of smallness and loneliness that is "only connected with heaven and earth". It's time to ask this weighty question: "Who has seen the moon by the river?" I see the moon now. Who saw it before me? "When did Jiang Yue take the photo at the beginning of the year?" Before people saw the moon, the moon must have shone on the river for a long time, and the time was further extended. "Life is endless, passed down from generation to generation, and Jiangyue is only similar every year." A few simple words brought the poet's thoughts back to reality from the infinite past. But this is not a flashback, but a slow return after countless generations. Facing the loneliness of the universe alone, generation after generation has been dispelled by countless people. This is not the sorrow of "mourning my life for a while and admiring the infinity of the Yangtze River", but the pride of "although I die, my descendants are endless". One person's life is so limited, but the whole human life is endless. How domineering! "I don't know who Jiang Yue will treat", this sentence is more domineering! Not only human beings are endless, but even the seemingly ruthless moon is waiting for "people"! "Infinite time and space are waiting for the poet. How proud and conceited this is. "
In this context, the following description of human stories is not abrupt at all. "? The white clouds have gone, and Qingfeng is at a loss. Who will go boating tonight? Where to miss the bright moon building? "The tolerance of this human story is still grand. The poet didn't write about his sadness at leaving home. He looked at the people on the boat by the river and began to imagine his feelings, and even began to imagine the feelings of the women in his family. "Empathy with unrelated people" is also a life experience and emotional experience developed through imagination. "I hope to shine on you every month." The moonlight shines in places where so many people are easy to get lost. It is someone I care about who gives me a place so that I won't get lost. "The spring river flows, the moon falls and the west sinks." It is precisely because the moonlight shines on so many places that my hometown and where I am now intersect. Moonlight is ruthless? Moonlight amorous? Nobody knows. But for human beings, emotion is the spiritual pillar to survive.
Seriously, my own translation has the deepest understanding of "lyricism", and some ideas are generated by myself. I don't know if there will be an element of excessive fantasy, so write it out for people to see first.
After the explanation in the last paragraph of the section "Li", the importance of "emotion" has been promoted as never before, and "Li" provides rationality for "lyrics". But at the same time, it can also be said that "lyricism" serves "reasoning", and it is meaningful to better explain the existence of emotions. And "writing scenery" is the cornerstone that can best express feelings and reason.
"The spring tide is in Lian Haiping, and the moon is born on the sea." The sentimental tone of the whole poem is in the first couplet. From the river to the waves to the sea to the moon, and from the moon to the waves, a cycle and a turning point have been completed between the two sentences. "The river turns around Fangdian", and the turning river is like my mixed feelings. "Poor wandering upstairs, should take care of people make-up mirror. The Yumen curtain can't be rolled up, and it blows backwards on the anvil. " The moonlight is the same. It insists on shining into my building, and it reminds me of my lover in the distance. I just pushed you away, stepped back a little, and then stepped forward.
"I drift with the tide for thousands of miles, and there is no moon on the river!" I didn't feel anything when I first saw this sentence, but when I read "May the moon shine on you", I suddenly felt that the moon was full of acacia. The moonlight shines on every river that goes with the flow, and my heart will always follow you aboard. You follow Wan Li Road, and my heart will follow you along Wan Li Road; I will follow the river where you go. "The moonlight shines on flowers and trees like graupel, the frost flows in the air, and the white sand on the pavilion is gone." Can these words be understood as the brightness of moonlight, which means that I miss you as strongly as moonlight? ?
"Lonely moon wheel in the sky. Who saw the moon by the river for the first time? When was the photo taken at the beginning of Jiangyue? " The moon is so lonely, as if I were in the same boat with the moon. "I don't know who Jiang Yue is waiting for, but I see the Yangtze River delivering water." I don't know who the moon is waiting for I only know that the water on the Yangtze River has been kept, but the person I was waiting for never came back with it.
"We don't know each other at this time." Anyway, I know that the person in my heart and I are looking at the same moon now. This is similar to "I miss you every day and I don't see you, and I drink the Yangtze River water". "The spring river runs out, and the river falls to the west." Similarly, although I am not in my hometown now, this round shines on my moon and my hometown. They all say "thinking about people when seeing things", but here it is "thinking about people when seeing the moon" and "homesickness when seeing the moon".
"The falling moon shakes the river trees", and the shadows of the trees are messy on the river, and the thoughts are so complicated that they sway in their hearts.
It is said that a good poem can be understood in many ways. This time, I finally got a deeper understanding after reading Moonlit Night on a Spring River.
