Editorial appreciation of this work

This poem is about the tranquility of spring mountain. The poet felt "tranquility" strongly. Why? Because of "silence", that is, silence. Because people are peaceful and quiet, they perceive the falling flowers of osmanthus. Flowers fall, the moon rises and birds sing. These "moving" scenes set off the tranquility of Chunxi. Niaomingxi is a place with extremely beautiful scenery. A stream is a mountain stream, running water sandwiched between two mountains. This poem describes the unusually quiet scene at night in Chunshan. The main idea of the poem is that in the silent environment without human voice, osmanthus flowers bloom and fall, as if we can feel the sound of osmanthus flowers falling. When the night is still deeper, the spring mountain with various scenery seems to be empty. As soon as the moon came out, light appeared, which alarmed the birds staying in the tree. They sang some songs by the spring. This poem is mainly about a quiet night in spring. Flowers fall, the moon rises and birds sing, all moving. The author uses the dynamic technique to contrast the quietness, and receives the artistic effect of "Tonamiyama is more secluded". "Leisure" means that there is no human disturbance around, which shows the poet's inner leisure. On this premise, the delicate osmanthus fell from the branches before being noticed. Poets can find this kind of "falling" through the touch of flowers falling on their skirts, or through the sound, or through the slightest fragrance when petals fall. In short, the factors that "depravity" can affect people are very subtle. When this subtle factor can be clearly felt from the surrounding world, the poet can't help but marvel at the silence of the night and the special emptiness shown by this silence. Here, the poet's mood and the environmental atmosphere of Chunshan blend and influence each other. Write an ethereal and quiet environment and state of mind. The protagonist listens to the birds and flowers with all his mind, and his heart is quiet and indifferent, but full of elegance and affection. The quiet nature is vivid and colorful in the poet's pen, and the business is full. The moon rises silently and the birds fly in surprise, which is an artistic scene of dynamic and static contrast. "Er 'anshuo Tang Poetry": "You are good at Zen, and all poems are in line with the holy religion." Note in Tang poetry: "It's wonderful that idle people lead this leisure." "A Brief Record of Poetry Change": "Birds sing and move; This stream is very narrow. And one, the night is quiet and the mountains are empty; The first five words, and then point out the birdsong stream, you will feel an empty scene, which is more and more obvious because of birdsong, and is exposed outside the pen and ink. A slicer can be achieved without manpower. " This poem is one of the representative works of Wang Wei's landscape poems. From the perspective of literary creation, the subtlety of this poem lies in the poetry set off by the contrast between "dynamic" and "static". The first sentence, "osmanthus flowers fall when people are idle, and the mountains are empty at night", describes the scenery with sound and skillfully uses synaesthesia to combine the dynamic scenes of "flowers fall" and "people are idle". Flowers bloom and fall, all belong to the sound of nature. Only when the heart is really free and the obsession with worldly distractions is put down can the personal spirit be promoted to the realm of "emptiness". At that time, the background was "late at night", and the poet obviously couldn't see the falling scenery of osmanthus, but because of the "quiet night" and the "meditation" of people watching the scenery, he still felt the process of blooming osmanthus falling from the branches, floating down and falling to the ground. While reading aloud, we seem to have entered the scenic spot of "Fragrant Forest and Flowers and Rain". The "Spring Mountain" here has left us a blank of imagination. Because it is a "spring mountain", we can imagine the noisy pictures during the day: beautiful spring, birds and flowers, laughter and laughter. At this time, the night is still, the tourists leave, the noise of the day disappears, and the mountains are idle. In fact, "emptiness" is also the poet's state of mind as a Zen monk. Only when his mood is free and easy can he capture scenes that others can't feel. The last sentence, "Birds are startled when the moon is out, and birds are singing in the spring stream", is based on moving to write quietness, a "surprise" and a "singing", which seems to break the quietness of the night, but in fact, it sets off the quietness and leisure in the mountains with the description of sound: the moon emerges from the clouds, the quiet moonlight flows down, and several birds wake up from their sleep and whisper from time to time, echoing the thin sound of running water in the spring stream. It is an old saying that "the article is natural, and the skillful hand wins occasionally". In ancient times, good poems were all natural and beautiful, and they were all narrated by skillful hands. And when we are whispering, our thoughts seem to follow the poet's words into that beautiful and unique picture. In this spring mountain, everything is intoxicated with the color and tranquility of the night. Therefore, when the moon rises, bringing bright Yin Hui to this empty valley shrouded in darkness, all the birds in the mountain are startled. Birds are surprised, of course, because they are used to the silence of the valley. It seems that even the moon rises with new excitement. But it is also conceivable that the bright moonlight makes the scene before and after the valley suddenly change. The so-called "moon stars are scarce, birds fly south" (Cao Cao's "Short Songs") can be used for association. However, Wang Wei lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which was different from the chaos in Jian 'an period, and even birds and animals were nervous. The background of Wang Wei's Mountain Birds on the Moon is a stable, unified and prosperous society in the Tang Dynasty. Although the bird is surprised, it is by no means "three turns around the tree, no branches to follow." They don't fly away from the spring stream, or even take off at all, but occasionally make noises in the Woods. They are not so much "surprised" as feeling fresh about the moon coming out. Therefore, if we compare Cao Cao's "A Short Song", in Wang Wei's poems, we can not only see the beautiful environment of spring mountain dotted with bright moon, fallen flowers and birds, but also feel the peaceful and stable social atmosphere in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Wang Wei likes to create a peaceful artistic conception in his landscape poems, and so does this poem. But the poem is about flowers falling, the moon rising and birds singing. These moving scenery, even in poetry, are full of vitality but not lifeless, and at the same time, the tranquility of the spring stream is more prominently expressed through sports. On the contrary, dynamic scene can achieve static effect, because the two sides of contradiction are always interdependent. Under certain conditions, movement can occur or be noticed, which is based on silence. "Tonamiyama is more secluded" contains artistic dialectics. This poem is currently selected in the 20 1 1 version of Unit 4 of the second semester of Grade 6.

Edit the introduction of the author of this paragraph.

Wang Wei (70 1-76 1), formerly known as Wang Wei in Vimalakīrti, was a Mahayana Buddhist layman. He is a famous bodhisattva in his family, which literally translates into a net name and a clean name, meaning to be called a monk. It can be seen that Wang Wei's name has an indissoluble bond with Buddhism. Before Wang Wei's death, people thought that he was a "contemporary poet, good at Zen and good at reason." After his death, he got the title of "Shi Fo". Wang Wei was born in a devout Buddhist family. According to Wang Wei's "Please Make Shizhuang a Temple", "Cui Shi, the first mother of Boling County, has been a teacher for more than 30 years, eating brown clothes and vegetables, practicing meditation, enjoying living in the mountains and seeking peace." Wang Wei was influenced by his mother since childhood. At the same time, according to Volume 25 of Notes of Wang Youcheng, there is an article "Taming, Daoguang Zen Master of Dajianfu Temple", which describes the relationship between the poet and a famous Daoguang Zen Master in the contemporary era: "After sitting on the ground for ten years, you must be taught, and it has nothing to do with me if you want to measure the space in detail. I just want to focus on where the Buddhist relics are." It can be seen that Wang Wei is indeed a Buddhist, living a monk-like life in his later years. According to the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, "In the capital, I lived in Zhai for a long time, disheveled and lacking in literary talent. I ate with more than a dozen monks every day and took pleasure in metaphysics. I have nothing in the den except a teapot and a mortar, tied to the bed by a box. After retiring from the DPRK, I burned incense and sat alone, taking Zen as my career. " At this time, Wang Wei seems to be a monk. A famous poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, eunuch You Cheng, was originally from Qi (now Qixian County, Shanxi Province), moved to Yongji, Shanxi Province, believed in Buddhism, and lived in Lantian in his later years. He is one of the representatives of the pastoral poetry school in Tang Dynasty. Also known as "Wang Meng" with Meng Haoran. He is called "Wang Youcheng" because he used to be a senior minister, You Cheng. Wang Wei was endowed with literary talent when he was a teenager. In the ninth year of Kaiyuan (72 1), he was the first scholar, and he was very happy. I joined the army in Jeju for some reason. After returning to Chang 'an. In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Jiuling was appointed as the secretariat. Wang Wei was demoted to the right. At that time, he wrote a poem "Dedicating the Beginning to Prosper the People", praising Zhang Jiuling's political views against planting party member for personal gain and abusing his title, which reflected his mood of demanding at that time. Twenty-four years (736), Zhang Jiuling went on strike. The following year, Jingzhou was relegated to a long history. Li's appointment as the secretariat is a turning point in Xuanzong's politics from relatively clear to increasingly dark. Wang Wei was depressed about Zhang Jiuling's demotion, but he didn't quit the officialdom. In the 25th year of Kaiyuan, he was ordered to visit Cui, our envoy from Hexi. Later, he learned from the temple history that Wang Wei's official position was gradually promoted. Before the Anshi Rebellion, on the one hand, officials were tired and worried about the officialdom at that time, on the other hand, they were attached to the stack and could not leave decisively. So he lived a semi-official and semi-secluded life for a long time ... Wang Wei's achievements in poetry are various, including frontier poems, landscape poems, regular poems and quatrains. His poems were called by Su Shi as "paintings in poems and poems in paintings". He really has his unique attainments in describing natural scenery. Whether it is the grandeur of famous mountains and rivers, the grandeur of frontier blockades, or the quietness of small bridges and flowing water, it can accurately and concisely create a perfect and vivid image, with less pen and ink, high artistic conception and complete integration of poetry and painting. Landscape pastoral poetry school is one of the two major poetry schools in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. This school of poetry is the successor of Tao Yuanming, Xie Lingyun and Xie Tiao. The poets of this school are famous for their pastoral scenery and their artistic styles are similar. They are called "pastoral poets" because they describe the quiet scenery and reflect their quiet mind or secluded thoughts. The main writers are Meng Haoran, Wang Wei, Chang Jian, Zuyong, Pei Di and others. Among them, Wang Wei and Meng Haoran, also known as "Wang Meng", have the highest achievements and the greatest influence.
