Famous ancient poems describing bamboo, Zhu and Song are called "three friends of the old and the cold", and plum, orchid and chrysanthemum are also called "four gentlemen in flowers", which has rich cultural connotations. It has evergreen seasons, tall and straight branches and indomitable spirit. It is lush, swaying and full of charm; It is cool thin, modest and restrained, and looks like a gentleman. It was born in the forest and grew by the deep spring, which is a combination of chic and charm. With its unique quality and charm, it has conquered the hearts of countless literati, making countless literati linger and sigh.
Bamboo's nature is both rigid and soft, cold ling does not wither, the wind does not fold, and it is arrogant and modest. Probably no one in the world can match in this respect. The ancients loved bamboo, and the most famous one was probably Wang Huizhi, the son of Wang Xizhi, a "book saint". According to Shi Shuo Xin Yu, "Wang Ziyou tried to send someone to live in an empty house temporarily, so he ordered bamboo planting. Or ask,' Why bother to stay?' After singing for a long time, he pointed to Zhu and said, "How can you live without this gentleman for a day?" "
Poems in the name of bamboo
The most popular poem chanting bamboo is probably the bamboo stone in Zheng Xie in the Qing Dynasty. This is an inscribed poem, which was written by Zheng Banqiao on a bamboo stone map. Zheng Xie sells paintings for a living, and his poems, books and paintings are also called "three musts". He is good at painting Zhu Lan, and he is a representative literati painter in Qing Dynasty. This poem expresses its ambition by supporting things, and expresses its integrity and integrity with the tenacity of Yanzhu.
The words "Insist that the Castle Peak will not relax" and "Bite" vividly show the image of a bamboo standing upright and firmly grasping the Castle Peak. "Advocating" to personify bamboo, bamboo has a sense of strength. It not only shows the scene of bamboo firmly attached to the green hills, but also shows the spirit of bamboo not afraid of difficulties and fighting against nature, and conveys the tenacious vitality of bamboo. Rooted in Broken Rock tells us that the reason why bamboo stands proudly on the green hills is that its roots are deeply rooted in broken rocks. Since ancient times, for every thousand-year-old towering tree, there must be one buried deep in the soil. Roots are not deep, branches are not luxuriant, and so is bamboo. The same is true for people. If a person wants to be famous all over the world, he must have a noble soul and the spirit and strength not afraid of being vilified by foreign objects. With the foreshadowing of the first two sentences, the author naturally leads to the following two sentences: "I am hard-working, I am still strong, and I am willing to let the east, west, north and south wind", writing bamboo's tenacious, fearless, calm and confident life posture. At this point, the artistic conception of the whole poem suddenly emerged.
Bamboo in the poem is actually the embodiment of the author's noble personality. In real life, Zheng Xie is deeply concerned about the sufferings of ordinary people. He hates evil and is not afraid of powerful people. Like the bamboo depicted in the poem, he is deeply rooted in the grass roots. For the hot dignitaries, he will never change his noble qualities, and he will never relax. The poet's poems have both form and spirit. He poured his ideals into every thin and hard rock and bamboo, and melted into his personality, thus achieving the realm of unity of man and bamboo.
He also wrote a poem, "Painting Bamboo in Wei County in the Year of Bao Bo's Great Achievement", which is also an inscription. The first sentence, "Yazhai lies listening to the rustling bamboo", begins with the sound of bamboo, closely follows the theme of bamboo painting, and writes about asking for leave from work. When I lay down to rest, I heard the breeze blowing bamboo outside the window and sobbed, which made the author very uneasy. "Doubt is the voice of people's sufferings" is the author's association with the voice of bamboo leaves. The rustling sound of bamboo seems to be the sobs of people who are hungry and cold. The word "doubt" expresses the poet's love and diligence for the people and embodies the author's love for the people. During his tenure, Zheng Banqiao really cared about the people and won their love.
The poem is about the bamboo in the painting, but the author only writes the sound of bamboo, which not only conveys the swaying mode of bamboo branches, but also implies the lush bamboo. The author wrote the voice of bamboo, not imitating its poetic voice, but combining it with the mourning of the people, fully taking care of the specific mentality in the specific environment of "Yazhai". The last two sentences, "Some small officials in Caozhou County always care about their feelings", speak freely and say that although they are humble, every move of ordinary people will affect their hearts. "Some Little Officials in Caozhou County" is not only about themselves, but also includes all the "parents" in the world. "One branch and one leaf always care about feelings" not only takes care of Feng Zhu's paintings and poems, but also places deep feelings on them. The language of the whole poem is simple, pure line drawing, interspersed with metaphors and puns, which enhances the artistic conception of the painting, and poetry and painting complement each other.
Zheng Banqiao loves bamboo very much, and bamboo represents different images in his works. He wrote in "Hsinchu": "Hsinchu is higher than the old bamboo branches and is supported by veteran cadres. There will be new students next year, and ten dragons and grandchildren will go around Fengchi. " The author links "Hsinchu" with the truth of human existence and development. He said that the reason why the new branch can be higher than the old branch depends on the support of the old branch. These two sentences come from the growth of bamboo itself and have a symbolic role. "Hsinchu" symbolizes a new force, that is, the younger generation of an era; "Laogan" represents the older generation and elders. These two sentences mean that although "shine on you is better than blue" and "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves before, the new generation is better than the old ones", the strength of the new generation cannot be separated from the active support and training of the older generation. So the younger generation can't forget the support and teaching of the older generation. The sentence "There will be new students next year, and ten dragons and grandchildren will circle the Phoenix Pool" is a prospect for the future. It is said that Hsinchu will be more prosperous next year, suggesting that with the support of veteran cadres, the new forces will be stronger.
Su Shi, a great poet, is also a bamboo lover. He said in the poem "Yu Qian and Shang Lu" that "eating without meat is better than living without bamboo", which shows that he loves bamboo very much. This poem is entitled "Yu Qian and Shang Lu" to praise elegance and virtue, and criticize materialism and vulgarity. "Eating without meat is better than living without bamboo." Wang Huizhi's love for bamboo is used to praise the good atmosphere and clean bones of the hermit. "No meat makes people thin, no bamboo makes people vulgar" is the further development of "no bamboo in the house". Full of philosophy and charm, the value of material and spirit, virtue and food is written in comparison. Eating is not sweet, but at most it is just "slimming", while people are "vulgar", and there is no festival of elegance and vulgarity. It is not only a tribute to the monk's day, but also a warning to those who lacked it at that time. "People are thin and fat, and they are vulgar." These two sentences are more incisive and thought-provoking. The most important thing for a person is ideological character and spiritual realm. If a person has noble sentiments, he is admirable even if he is poor. On the contrary, slanderous flattery is the object of spurning. "Vulgar is past praying for" shows the author's strong satire and shame on vulgar people, and there is no hope of cure.
The last four sentences are the poet's ridicule and backchat to the laity. Su Shi detests evil and is an honest and frank person. Whenever he sees the uneven wind and encounters something he doesn't like, "the fly is eating, so hurry up and spit." He used words like "munch" and "Yangzhou crane" to tease the laity, which was funny and unforgettable, and made the laity feel ashamed. Su Shi is good at using topics, full of association, innovation, profound implication and penetrating power, which embodies the author's frank character.
The poet Du Fu's thatched cottage, the most conspicuous is the thousand bamboo poles. He said, "I have Huanhua Bamboo" and directly used bamboo as a synonym for Huanhuaxi Caotang. In his life, he also wrote many poems praising or related to bamboo. From these poems, we can clearly understand that Du Fu has deep feelings for bamboo. He said, "If you are addicted to alcohol and love the wind and bamboo, you will be surrounded by nymphs" and "If you return the stick and quinoa, you will love the legacy of bamboo"; He has repeatedly stressed that he is "lazy and never eats bamboo" and "will plant several bamboos all his life." He appreciates the beauty and charm of bamboo. In his works, bamboo is very lovely.
Yan Zheng Gong Zhai Tong Zhu Yong is Du Fu's poem about bamboo, which is thought-provoking with "bamboo" as the object of chanting. "The green bamboo is half covered, and the new buds are out of the wall." It is written that Hsinchu is beginning to grow, highlighting its tenderness. "Half-contained" and "fresh out" capture the typical process of vigorous growth of bamboo shoots. Zhuan Xu wrote "The color invades the book late, and the shadow is cooler than the bottle", describing the enjoyment brought by the bamboo shadow. The color of bamboo is very green, reflected on the book coat, which makes people feel dim. The bamboo shadow moves over the wine container, making the wine appear cooler. The phrase "the rain washes gently and the wind blows gently" describes the bamboo after the rain from the perspective of vision and smell. The thin spring rain washed the bamboo spotless, and the slight spring breeze brought the fragrance of bamboo. The "trickle" here describes the innocent and fresh appearance of bamboo after being washed by drizzle; "Jing" is about the fresh breath of bamboo. These two groups of overlapping words can imitate the sound and color of bamboo, making the image of bamboo more artistic. And make the melody harmonious, easy to read and pleasing to the ear. Living in such a quiet environment, the author really has a feeling of forgetting to eat while being happy and worrying. In the last couplet, the author began to imagine: "But if there is no cut, I will meet Fu Yunchang." Only when people really care for and protect bamboo, and don't "cut down" and destroy lovely Hsinchu, bamboo will naturally grow to the height of the cloud! Poets repeatedly wrote about the loveliness of bamboo, aiming at expressing that they should respect nature and conform to physical nature; Or call on the rulers to care for talents, instead of destroying them at will; Or take bamboo as their own responsibility and expect the court to support them, so as to be "loyal to the monarch" and make contributions to governing the country and leveling the world.
Because Du Fu loved bamboo deeply, he asked his friends for bamboo species at the beginning of the construction of the Caotang beside Huanhua River in Chengdu: "Huaxuan will arrive in another year, and Mianzhu is slim and graceful. There is no such thing in front of the river. Fortunately, it is a green wave. " The first sentence, straightforward, is an order to write Xu Wei to Mianzhu. The second sentence connects the preceding with the following, leading to Mianzhu. The second and third sentences are all about the bamboo in the Wei court, but the poet doesn't have this bamboo at home, so the title means "looking for Mianzhu". At the end of the sentence, "Fortunately, the green waves are blowing", and the word "seeking" is like a boat going down the river. The author successfully found beautiful bamboo and planted it in a thatched cottage, which added a lot of colors to his residence and made him very happy. A word "lucky" describes the author's inner joy and is overjoyed; "Green" refers to turquoise, here refers to Mianzhu; "Wave blowing" means that the wind blows bamboo, and bamboo leaves roll up like waves, suggesting the dense shape of bamboo.
Du Fu's poems are tragic, but this poem is tactfully detached, rhyming sonorous, full of gratitude to friends and love for Mianzhu.
However, Du Fu loves bamboo, but in another poem, he said, "Song Xin hates thousands of feet less, and evil bamboo should be cut.". In fact, the image of bamboo is ambiguous. Qi Yaomin wrote: "Bamboo has four ugliness: green bitterness, white bitterness, purple bitterness and yellow bitterness." The so-called "evil bamboo" refers to this kind. Poets love Song Xin, because it is handsome and straight, and does not change with time; Poets hate evil bamboo because it is born with chaos. These two sentences reveal Du Fu's thought and character of distinguishing between good and evil, love and hate.
Bai Juyi also loves bamboo, and he appreciates its inner character. He said, "Water is my friend and bamboo is my teacher." Water can make people indifferent, so I take water as my friend. Zhu knows humility, so he can be my teacher. The modesty of bamboo is a symbol of modesty and study. Taking bamboo as a teacher expresses the poet's diligence and modesty. The antithesis of this couplet is neat, the metaphor is clever, and it is reasonable to hit the nail on the head. The poet expresses his ambition by expressing his admiration and love for water and bamboo, as well as his pursuit of water and bamboo spirit. He also said: "There is no need to cut it into a feng tube or a fishing rod. After thousands of flowers and grass wither, stay in the snow. " This poem about bamboo, with the help of bamboo, praised bamboo and expounded its spiritual pursuit. The first two sentences are plain, with simple words and no profound meaning. They just explained the general use of bamboo, but the author emphasized "no need" and "no need". As for the reason, point out the last two sentences. It turns out that the first three sentences are foil, in order to form a contrast with the last sentence. The poet said, I don't need to make bamboo into a flute or use it as a fishing rod. The important thing is that bamboo can stand in the snow when it snows, which shows me the mood of frost. In fact, the first two sentences are about the utility of bamboo, and the last sentence is about the spiritual "practicality" of bamboo, which is not what the author values, but the influence of bamboo's character on people. The author deliberately makes it a strong contrast, revealing the author's love for bamboo and praise for its character. "Stay in the snow", what are you looking at? Nature does not look at the green posture of bamboo, but sees the noble essence of bamboo from the solitary bamboo in the snow, a kind of loneliness independent of the secular. This poem skillfully uses bamboo as a metaphor and contrast, expressing the author's pursuit of lofty, detached and unyielding spirit.
The poet Li He used bamboo to express his desire to be reused. He wrote in a poem chanting bamboo: "Go into the hydrology lightly, and take time to reflect the spring scenery." Dew, Watson, bamboo shoots, moss, frost roots. Weaving can carry fragrance and sweat, and shearing can catch brocade scales. Three beams have been put into use, one of which is dedicated to Wang's grandson, and "harmony" has entered the spring of hydrological light movement and spent time shadowing. "The first two sentences directly describe the shape of bamboo." Moving into Hydrology describes the reflection of bamboo in the water: the microwave ripples, the bamboo is reflected on the water, and the bamboo shadow is swaying and flashing, which is very lovely. "Take time to see the green shadow spring" is about the bamboo in the air: it flies upwards, and the shade of bamboo is full of infinite vitality. These two sentences, leaning down and leaning back, describe the different forms of bamboo in great detail. The next two poems are all about bamboo, which is lined with dew and moss, describing the quiet environment in which bamboo lives and its green and lovely state. "Hugh" describes the strong, straight and long state of bamboo; Frost root refers to the white powder on the bamboo root, like frost. These four poems not only describe the strength and elegance of bamboo, but also describe the elegance and charm of the environment.
The last four sentences of the poem describe the function of bamboo: "Weaving can bear fragrance and sweat, and cutting can catch brocade scales." Bamboo woven into mats can bear incense and sweat; Cut into bamboo poles, which can be used for fishing. These are the most common uses of bamboo, but its most boastful use is: "Three beams have been used, and one section is Wang Sun." Poets are brilliant and often have the heart to help the world and serve the country, but throughout their lives, they are always unhappy and unable to display them. Therefore, the poet said that after learning that bamboo can be used as a hard lining in the crown hat, he wanted to cut off a section for Wang Sun. The moral is obvious, using bamboo to express the desire to be reused.
Famous bamboo sentences
The two sentences "The emerald color falls deeply, and the empty vocal cords are cold early" come from Li Bai's "Cilao Bamboo". It describes the feeling of green bamboo from the perspectives of vision, hearing and touch. Green bamboo is reflected on the water surface, making the green water appear deeper; A gust of wind blows, and there is a sound between bamboo leaves, which makes people feel the chill of autumn wind prematurely. These two sentences are the most wonderful in the whole poem. The author uses synaesthesia to write the magnificence of bamboo through the depth of waves, and writes the sound of bamboo through the cold feeling of people. The first sentence is about the color of bamboo and the second sentence is about the sound of bamboo. Through people's various sensory feelings, it is quite innovative to describe good bamboo drying from many angles and use it to chant bamboo. The author tries his best to express the feelings that everyone can feel when they see bamboo in words, which can arouse people's attention.
"The wind is dripping, and the moon shines in jagged shadows" comes from Shen Yue's Ode to Bamboo in front of the eaves, which describes the charm of bamboo from its growing environment. The poet takes the clear night when the dew first condenses as the background, and then sets off the bright and soft moonlight, and adds sound and light to the picture through the layer-by-layer rendering of the wind, the sound of the dew and the photos of the moon. At night, everything is silent, and occasionally there is a breeze blowing, blowing the bamboo leaves and making a thin rustling sound. Suddenly, a few drops of dew landed on the doorstep, which was really beautiful. Originally, there were bamboo shadows and clear dewdrops on the screen, but dewdrops at night were hard to see. The poet added a breeze to convey dew with his hearing, setting off the silence of the environment. Sound alone is not enough. The poet also attracted a bright moon, which sprinkled on the bamboo leaves, making them cast mottled bamboo shadows. So, under the breeze, there is not only the sound of dew, but also the swaying of bamboo shadows. At this point, the picture is colorful and has reached a good state. The beauty of these two sentences is that they don't write bamboo directly, but reflect the bamboo charm disclosure, swaying slightly and dancing from the steps where dew falls and the uneven bamboo shadows.
"Break up the bitter festival and be humble" comes from Liu Zongyuan's Bitter Bamboo Bridge. When the author saw Kuzhu Bridge, he thought of the scene where Kuzhu came out of its shell and then grew taller. He also saw the bamboo heart surrounded by bamboo skin through it. The word "collapse" is extremely powerful, which highlights the inherent strength of bamboo and shows irresistible tenacious vitality. The words "light" and "hug" are extremely soft words, which show the continuous feelings of bamboo. "Bitterness" and "modesty" are deliberately portrayed by the author, which are the inherent qualities of bamboo and are also respected by the author.
"Xie Zhu can hear the rustling sound, and the leaves can be seen at first sight" comes from Lu You's East Lake Hsinchu. These two sentences focus on the description of bamboo, but the author does not directly describe the leaves and stems of bamboo, but renders them by describing sounds and images. "When you untie the bamboo, you hear the rustling of bamboo shells falling off, as if it were snowing; When bamboo shoots are released, the leaves are separated at first sight. "When bamboo jointing, scattered beautiful images first appear, which is touching. From these two sentences, we don't directly see the shape and color of bamboo, but we can really feel the subtle changes of bamboo growth through the author's description. At the same time, the words "rustle" and "fallen leaves" in these two sentences are the sound of movement and the still image of the shadow. The combination of dynamic and static vividly depicts the growth characteristics of Hsinchu.
These two sentences, "Yan Zi is partial and modest in frost and snow", are from Liu Jian's Hsinchu, which uses the allusion of Yan Zi's love for bamboo to express his love and praise for bamboo. Wang Huizhi Ziyou is the son of Wang Xizhi and a famous figure in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Why do people in Wang Ziyou prefer bamboo? Because bamboo stands upright in the frost and snow, its mind is magnanimous and its integrity is lofty. Wang Ziyou was partial to bamboo, and whenever he lived in an empty house, he ordered the planting of bamboo. He often says, "How can I live without this gentleman!" Wang Ziyou likes bamboo, so does the author. Ziyou is the incarnation of the author himself. The author pursues the realm of a gentleman, but in the author's eyes, bamboo has the wind of a gentleman, which is exactly what he pursues. People have a humble character called "modesty" and a noble moral integrity called "height", and "modesty and height" is consistent with the natural characteristics of bamboo, ingenious and vivid. The author praised the sentiment and integrity of Hsinchu by metaphor, expressing his extreme love and enthusiastic praise for bamboo.
"Began to pity the bamboo under the mountain window, and waited for me to return without changing the shade" comes from Qian Qi's "Bamboo in front of the window on returning to the mountain in late spring". The poet was pleasantly surprised to find that there were several bamboo poles in front of the window, which were tall and straight, lush and swaying, adding a lot of color to the window. They always "don't change the shade" all year round to welcome their owners who have returned after a long separation. These two sentences vividly express the poet's sympathy for bamboo and his deep affection for You Zhu in the form of running water pairs, from people and things, from things and people. In this poem, what the author likes is You Zhu's "not changing Yin", which is the harmonious unity of its inner beauty and outer beauty. You Zhu is green and tough. It is still lush in the cold wind and snowstorm, which is very different from those yellow birds that have exhausted spring and the dead spring flowers. Therefore, the first two sentences of the poem do not mean to praise and cherish the spring birds and spring flowers, but to "change" bamboo, setting off its "unchanging" and expressing praise for the quiet bamboo and its noble character of not being afraid of the remnants of spring and the cold of winter. Therefore, this poem not only gives people beautiful enjoyment, but also gives people endless aftertaste.
In a word, bamboo in poetry is not only a simple objective existence, but also a unique image for poets to express their feelings and wishes. It bears the poet's morality and ideals, embodies the literati's interest and pursuit, symbolizes the author's feelings and sighs, and bears the ambition and sorrow of being an official.
The image of bamboo
First, bamboo's modesty and virtue make it the embodiment of a gentleman. Poets express their love and pursuit of good moral conduct by chanting bamboo.
Second, there are many mountains and forests in bamboo, which represent leisure and seclusion. Poets use this to express their leisure state of mind intoxicated by mountains and rivers, or their complex of yearning for mountains and forests and seclusion.
Third, bamboo has Fei Xiang bamboo, which is a myth and legend, and dreams and fuzziness represent beautiful love.
4. The bamboo is tall and straight, showing the trend of Lingyun. Poets either use it to describe their lofty pursuit of ambition, or use it to express their frustration and resentment.
