Modern translation of ancient poems
The red peach blossoms are still covered with raindrops from last night, and the green weeping willows are shrouded in the morning smoke. Before the servants had time to clean up the petals of flowers in the courtyard that had been knocked down by the rain, the oriole was already singing and the mountain guest was still sleeping soundly.
Appreciation
Wang Wei (701-761), courtesy name Mojie, was a famous poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He was an official and became Minister Youcheng. He was originally from Qi (now Qi County, Shanxi) and moved to When he arrived in Puzhou (today's Yongji, Shanxi), he believed in Buddhism and lived in Wangchuan Villa in Lantian in his later years. He is of Han nationality. His achievements in poetry and painting were both very high. Su Dongpo praised him, "When you taste Mojie's poems, there are paintings in the poems; when you look at Mojie's paintings, there are poems in the paintings." He was especially accomplished in landscape poetry, and together with Meng Haoran, he was known as "The King" Meng" had no intention of pursuing an official career in his later years and dedicated himself to worshiping Buddhism, so later generations called him the "Poetry Buddha". He is the author of "The Collection of Wang Youcheng" and has 400 poems.
Wang Wei's poems mainly have two styles. The early poems mostly reflect reality, while the later poems are mostly pastoral poems depicting pastoral landscapes. "Pastoral Joy" is a group of seven six-character poems. The main content is about the author's joy of being close to nature after retreating to Wangchuan Villa. This article is the sixth of them. In this poem, the poet describes the scene of the beautiful morning after the night rain in spring, expressing the poet's leisurely and leisurely mood, and revealing his strong feelings of harmony and closeness to nature.
“Peach red contains the lingering rain, and willow green contains morning smoke.” “Peach red” and “willow green” are the two basic objects described by the poet, that is, peach blossoms are bright red, and weeping willows are green. In fact, this is very pleasing to the eye, but the poet did not hesitate to describe it with ink and color. On the basis of "peach red", he added "recovering the rain", and on the basis of "willow green", he added "more morning smoke" , in this way, the petals of the originally red and lovely peach blossoms are filled with crystal clear water drops from the night rain, and the flowers become even more vivid; and the flowers that have been washed away by the night rain The new green weeping willows are now shrouded in the morning mist, making them even more hazy, charming and graceful. This beautiful scenery is a true expression of the poet's deep feelings for nature and rural life in the mountains. Otherwise, it may not be possible with a stroke of genius.
"The flowers have fallen and the children have not swept away the family, and the orioles are singing and the mountain guests are still sleeping." From these two sentences, it is not difficult for us to see the side of the poet who is still full of optimism even though he lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests. It has been raining all night in spring, and peach blossoms will surely fall all over the yard. Why are the "flowers falling" all over the ground "not swept" by the "house children"? The morning after the rain is sunny and the birds are singing happily early, but why are the "mountain guests" still sleeping? Did you forget to go to bed early because you listened to the rain at night? Maybe it's unknown. Here, the work uses dynamic words such as "flowers fall", "orioles cry", "not swept", and "still sleeping" to describe dynamic people. The image is more vivid and the emotions are more intense. The words flow everywhere. It is filled with the poet's attachment, cherishment and love for the pastoral life in the mountains.
In this poem, the poet easily outlines a fresh, lively and vivid picture through the spring-characteristic images of "peach red", "willow green", "suyu" and "morning smoke". The beautiful scene of the early morning after the rain is reflected in the dark willows and flowers, and the dynamic words of "flowers fall", "orioles cry", "not swept away", and "still asleep" are used to describe the mood of people in the beautiful spring scenery, and to describe the leisure and harmony of rural life in the mountains. , nourishing and livable. This more effectively expresses the author's endless joy of being close to nature after retreating to Wangchuan. It also embodies the artistic state of the author's landscape and pastoral poetry creation and the track of his mind after retreating to nature. It is a rare thing. Art treasure.
