There are clouds in the sky, and poets often compare them to a wandering wanderer. Wei Huai, an old friend, said, "After ten years of running water, we finally meet again." Li Bai's seeing friends off: "I will think of you in the clouds. I lost my life in Japan." Du Fu's Two Dreams Li Bai (bottom): "This cloud has been floating in the sky all day, and may never come back like a wanderer."
The ancients also compared the money of things outside their bodies to floating clouds. Such as Confucius said, "Being unjust and rich is like floating on me."? Cloud. " Zuo Si in the Western Jin Dynasty wrote the third poem "Ode to an Epic": "Even printing the vestibule is still a cloud." Yan Yu's "Man Jiang Hong": "Fu Fugui and other floating clouds, watching the famous festival." Being charitable and helping the poor have become the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. Compare the floating clouds to evil villains, because the brilliance of the sun and the moon is always covered by floating clouds. This also reflects the implication of China's classical poetry. For example, Kong Rong's "The Last Poetry": "Evil harms justice, and clouds bury the sky." Wang Anshi's "Reaching the Peak": "I am not afraid of clouds covering my eyes, I am at the highest place." The floating clouds here can be regarded as feudal stubborn forces, and the poet showed indomitable spiritual integrity here.
? 2. Colorful clouds: Huang Yun, Qingyun, Heiyun and Lv Yun.
The image of Huang Yun often appears in frontier fortress poems, because the frontier fortress Gobi is windy and dusty, and the loess is rolled up, forming the so-called Huang Yun. Huang Yun also reflects the unique scene of the frontier fortress. For example, Jiang Yan's "Gu Bie": "Farewell to Jun, even Yanmenguan. Huang Yun has avoided thousands of miles, when will the wanderer return? " Feng Xue's "Hunting and Riding": "I don't know that Wan Li Huang Yun is guarding, and the blood is lying in iron clothes."
Qingyun is a metaphor for the promotion of official position and social status. Du Fu's "Twenty Rhymes for Taichang Zhang Qingyi": "It's really difficult to wade in the blue sea, and Qingyun can't climb the ladder." Ding Henian's "Wang Shi Wang Qin Tu": "The official love is the companion, and Lv Yun is honored."
Dark clouds are gathering, rendering the tense situation. For example, Li He's "Wild Goose Gate Taishouxing": "Dark clouds crush the city, and light scatters the sun."
Lv Yun is a metaphor for a woman's black hair. For example, the seventh part of Bai Juyi's "God of Spring": "The Song Palace is like a bun, and the Lv Yun is inclined."
? Third, the cloud of seclusion: idle clouds and white clouds
Because hermits mainly live in mountains and forests, there are often thick clouds, so the image of clouds is associated with poets who have secluded feelings. Tao Yuanming's "Coming home to Xi Ci": "Clouds come out of the hole unintentionally, and birds know it when they are tired of flying." Liu Zongyuan's Fisherman: "An old fisherman spent the night here, under the west cliff, quietly burning bamboo." The sun disappears like a cloud, and the sound of sculls comes from green mountains and green waters. I turned around and saw the waves coming from the sky, and the clouds on the cliff drifted carelessly. " Fisherman is the embodiment of ancient hermit, and he has a detached, noble and detached taste. Another example is Wang Wei's "My Retreat in Zhongnanshan": "I will walk until the water stops my way, and then sit and watch the rising clouds." The poet's free and unrestrained life is presented before his eyes. Therefore, the cloud of seclusion often appears in pastoral poems.
