Translation and appreciation of Wuchang wind resistance

Full-text translation of Wuchang Blocking Wind;

The spring breeze on the river stopped the passenger ship in Wuchang, but endless homesickness and homecoming flowed eastward like a rolling river.

I want to come to the water with you and watch catkins fly leisurely all day, hoping to forget my sadness.

Appreciation of Wuchang Blocking Wind:

The poet's boat home was blocked by a strong wind in Wuchang, so he had to stay in Wuchang temporarily. The whole poem adopts euphemistic and tortuous lyric techniques. At first glance, the two meanings are opposite, but in fact they complement each other. Especially pretending to be free reveals deeper and deeper sadness. Start with the first two sentences and write your true feelings. Water is a metaphor of love with vivid image. The last two sentences are tactful and express their feelings from the opposite side. A poet who wants to step into the house but is stuck halfway has no leisure to walk by the water all day. The same is true of the last sentence. On the surface, it is said that it is "greedy" for Wuchang's famous catkin flying flowers and forgets the sorrow. In fact, it just shows my endless sadness.

A striking feature of this poem is the metaphor of the scene in front of us. The so-called "endless homesickness flows eastward" is a metaphor for endless homesickness in the heart. This technique is not original by Fang Ze. For example, Li Bai has a metaphor of "sending love to flowing water, but only Sauvignon Blanc"; Li Yu said: "How many worries can there be, just like a river flowing eastward"; There is a saying in Ouyang Xiu that "sorrow is drifting away, and the distance is like spring water". All four people use running water as a metaphor for feelings, Li as a metaphor for lovesickness, Li Yu as a metaphor for sadness, and Ouyang Xiu as a metaphor for sadness. However, Fang Ze's poems also have their own uniqueness, that is, framing metaphor. People are on the boat, and the boat is by the river. It is very natural and appropriate to take water when flowing. This water is not an empty finger, but a real thing in front of us. This kind of impromptu metaphor is the easiest to achieve the situation of blending scenes.

In fact, the more amazing beauty of the whole poem lies in the twists and turns of lyric techniques. Zhu said that the article is "tortuous", and another feature of this poem is its twists and turns and ups and downs of lyric techniques. A person's mood, if too straightforward, unobstructed, boring; Turn a corner, change the angle, play hard to get, and it will be more chewy to suppress old age. This quatrain tells all about the poet's soul, but it is covered with a silk scarf, which makes people feel memorable. Obviously, it was blocked by the strong wind, so I had to stop at Wuchang, and I was quite disgusted with the strong wind. However, he said that "the spring breeze on the river kept the passenger ship", just as the spring breeze meant, he politely advised him to stay. In fact, it is "resistance", but it says "stay", and here is a 10% discount; It was obviously blocked by the windshield, which made him inexplicably sad and uneasy, but he said, "I will spend all my days with you in the water." Who is "Jun"? The poet didn't say it, but it makes sense to mention a boat or a friend in the same boat. This has nothing to do with big ideas. What matters is the word "leisure". Poets don't have the leisure to flow poems. This is real "worry" and "leisure", which is another discount here; Obviously, I have endless homesickness in my heart, and I have no intention to appreciate catkin flying flowers at all, but I say, "I love flying flowers and forget my worries." Of course, Wuchang willow is very famous, and ancient poets like to chant. For example, Meng Haoran's poem says, "Looking at the Wuchang willow is like a balcony." But the poet's wandering feeling at this time made him unwilling to appreciate the flowers and willows in Wuchang. If you accidentally say "greedy", here is another discount. The twists and turns are meaningful. Anyone who pretends to be lenient is puzzled. It is because of incomprehension that this poem pretends to be generous. From the psychological point of view, this kind of posturing, evasive expression is very logical and has a strong artistic charm.

In Song Dynasty, Cai Tai's Poem on Xiqing said that Fang Ze was "not famous for his literary talent", while Wu Chang's resistance to wind was absolutely "amazing and almost unknown", and he spoke highly of this poem.

About the author:

Fang Ze, a native of Putian, was called Gong Yue. In the mid-Northern Song Dynasty, people were not famous for their poems, but the poem "Wuchang Windbreak" was amazing.

Express the theme:

Wuchang Blocking Wind is a seven-character quatrain written by Fang Ze in Song Dynasty, which expresses the homesickness and sadness caused by sailing on the river and blocking Wuchang. The first sentence, the poet's way home was blocked by strong wind in Wuchang, and he had to stay because of the wind. He has a grudge, but it is said that Chunfeng deliberately advised him to stay. The second sentence is infinite homesickness, just like spring water flowing to the east. Write three or four sentences, just as I have leisure to watch running water and write poems with my friends all day; Looking at catkins and flying flowers, you can forget gratitude and homesickness.

This poem pretends to explain because it is incomprehensible, profoundly and euphemistically expresses the sadness and desire to return home smoothly, and reveals deep love for relatives in hometown. Song people appreciate this poem very much.
