Jasper dressed as a tree, hanging down ten thousand green silk tapestries.
I wonder who cut the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors.
"Jasper disguised as a tree" means not an emerald, but a person-Liu Biyu, a beauty in the Southern Dynasties and the Song Dynasty.
This sentence means that the beauty has finished wearing makeup, and it is describing the graceful posture and gentle modality of the willow tree. The second sentence describes that the willow tree is green in color and shaped like silk thread and ribbon, so it is called "a thousand strands of green silk hang down".
Willow is a very common tree species in China. Both the south and the north are widely planted, and they are also very common plants in classical poetry.
Read three or four sentences together. In fact, it implicitly uses an allusion in Han Feizi: During the Warring States Period, a man in the State of Song spent three years carving a fake leaf with the same color, touch and texture as the real leaf.
From this story, he thought of who cut the leaves on the willow tree. Who has so much power? It turned out to be the spring breeze in February. The author implicitly praised the great power of the spring breeze. It can also form the strength of combining rigidity with softness by "moistening things quietly".
There is also a song, and Ceng Gong in the Song Dynasty also has a poem "Chanting Willow".
willow
Ceng Gong
Chaos hasn't turned yellow yet,
Crazed by the east wind
Untie the flying flowers to cover the sun and the moon,
I wonder if there is frost removal in the world. .
"The chaos is not yet yellow, relying on the east wind." The two adverbs "Youwei" and "Bian" in these two sentences are particularly worth pondering. Together, these two words are expressed in today's sentence pattern, which is "not yet"
The word "chaos" reveals hatred. The messy branches just turned yellow but not green, and danced wildly with the east wind. Obviously, the willows here are also endowed with personalized colors, but they are no longer small jasper, but small people who run amok after gaining power.
"I wonder if there is frost in heaven and earth." "Untie" means understanding. It is said that willows will only use rampant catkins in an attempt to hide the brilliance of the sun and the moon. However, they don't know that there is still frost between heaven and earth. When first frost comes, the flying willow will naturally die and wither. The "frost" here is decorated with "clear", which is obviously a warning to the successful. One day, there will be the power of justice to clean you up.
Writing willow is the same as personifying willow, but his "singing willow" is completely different from his "singing willow". The former compared Liu to a small jasper, full of praise, while the latter compared Liu to a successful villain, with obvious derogatory meaning and irony.
The great difference between these two poems should give us a lot of creative inspiration.
Everything has more than one side, but two sides, or more accurately, many sides. Therefore, when we look at the same thing from different positions and angles, it is bound to be different, even very different. In the process of writing, one is most afraid of what others say. Instead, he should try to do what others can't say, what others haven't said, have his own position, have his own perspective and write his own new ideas.
