Cold Light in Nan Zhou is a poem in The Book of Songs, a collection of ancient realistic poems by China. This is a love song that men pursue and women can't get. The lyric hero loves a beautiful girl, but it is always difficult to get what he wants, and his feelings are tangled and he can't get rid of it. Facing the vast river, he sang this touching poem and poured out his melancholy. The characters in the poem are vivid and the logic of the poem is rigorous.
Nan Zhou Hanguang was born in the Hanshui River Valley in the Zhou Dynasty. On the theme of this poem, Preface to Mao Poetry says: "Han Guang" is also within the reach of Germany. Wang Wen went straight to the south to beautify Jianghan's territory, without thinking about breaking the ceremony. "Scholars of all ages think that this is a love song sung by a woodcutter.
When the hero was chopping wood, tall trees and vast rivers aroused his feelings. When he thought of the girl he loved deeply and pursued hard, he was infinitely disappointed and sang this love song. Some people think this is an exhortation poem, urging Zhou's children not to chase southern women.
Biography of Zhu Songci: The king of literature went from near to far, first in Jianghan, and then changed the custom of fornication, so that people could know that he was dignified and quiet, which was beyond the reach of the day before yesterday. Because of the rise of the tree, the contrast between Jianghan and Jianghan has been repeatedly lamented. On Poetry by Liu Ke in Song Dynasty: There are four out of twenty sentences in the poem, and there are eight words that say "no".
Overall appreciation
From the external structure analysis, Nan Zhou Hanguang has three chapters, the first chapter is independent, and the second chapter is repetitive, which seems to be no different from other folk songs in The Book of Songs. The poet's frustration in courtship and an unattainable image of a woman in the upper reaches of the Hanshui River seem to be hidden in the repeated singing of Long song's sigh. From the perspective of artistic conception, the whole three chapters are connected at different levels, which has its own poetic internal logic.
First of all, the opening sentences of the three chapters of the whole poem vividly imply the labor process of the young woodcutter, who, as a lyric hero, cuts firewood for reward. Therefore, Fang Yurun summarized the theme of Nan Zhou Hanguang as "Jianggan Bridge Singing" and denied the essence of his love poems, which is still pedantic. But the rising sentence implies the process of collecting firewood, which has both written basis and labor experience.
