Poetry of Farewell in the Mountains by Wang Guoxin
Sentence Explanation
Farewell to each other in the mountains, the sunset covers the firewood door
The poet is in his seclusion in the mountains After bidding farewell to his friends, he closed the firewood door as the sun set.
At the beginning of the poem, the reader is told that it is time to see each other off, and the farewell words and farewell feelings are conveyed with a seemingly emotionless word "stop". So ordinary, is this farewell just a routine for the poet?
The second sentence jumps from sending off friends during the day to closing the firewood door in the evening. What the poet did or thought during this period of time is not mentioned in the poem. Is the poet's heart really so peaceful, without any disturbance?
Anyone who has ever experienced parting knows that although the moment before a traveler leaves makes one reluctant to leave, the solitude after parting is even more depressing. At this time, the alone remembrance, longing, and repeated savoring and chewing all make the feeling of loneliness and melancholy become thicker and denser. At this moment when separation and grief are most difficult to resolve, there must be a myriad of things to write about. However, the poet only briefly described the act of "covering the firewood door". The sun sets in the west, closing the door and closing the door. This is just an extremely ordinary action, but it is enough to make us think about it: before closing the door, was the poet missing his friend all the time? How did he spend the long days? After all, the day is still relatively lively. In the dark night that follows the sunset, after everything around him quiets down, how will the poet spend this long night?
It turns out that the poet’s non-mentioning does not mean that he treats this farewell with indifference or indifference. Although the farewell has ended, the separation has not stopped, and the longing has not stopped. On the contrary, it has become heavier and longer, and cannot be dismissed. "Sunset covers the firewood" because friends have left, and I am lonely and bored. I no longer have the leisure and leisure life of the past, "the wind blows through the pines, and the moon shines on the mountains while playing the piano." I no longer have the intention to appreciate "the bright moon shining among the pines, and the clear spring flowing over the rocks." evening scene in the mountains. Closing the door alone is nothing more than trying to calm down, think quietly, and meditate quietly.
The spring grass will be green next year, will the king and grandson return?
When next spring, the grass will be green, will you come back? This is what the poet was thinking behind closed doors. "Chu Ci: Recruiting Hermits" contains the sentence "The kings and grandsons have traveled here and never returned, and the spring grass has grown luxuriantly." It laments that wanderers have been away for a long time and never come back. The poet used this sentence, which shows that until sunset, he was still shrouded in thoughts of separation - although he had just broken up, he was already looking forward to his friend's early return, but was also afraid that he would not return for a long time.
"Whether the king and his grandson are coming home or not" was supposed to be a question for friends when parting, but instead it became a word that the poet pondered alone. His deep longing for his friends and his eager anticipation for their early reunion are all contained in this question. The poet asked himself silently, but could not answer himself.
Tang Ruxun, a man of the Ming Dynasty, interpreted this poem in "An Interpretation of Tang Poems" as: "The door is hidden in the dusk, and people's thoughts are deep when they are away; the grass is sometimes green, and it is difficult to know when friends will return." The spring grass is certain. Green comes once a year, but there are still countless unknowns and suspense about whether my friends will return or not. Thinking of these, the poet probably had to stay up all night.
Comments
Wang Wei’s five unique skills are very good at selecting a unique scene and fragment to convey emotions and ideas from a special angle. This poem is a good representative. The poem writes about farewell, but it does not directly describe the mood of farewell, but directly extends the brushstrokes to the scene after farewell, and uses the scene after farewell to reflect the meaning of farewell. The conception is very clever.
The whole poem is as clear as words. It may seem plain, but it has a long aftertaste that makes people recall it endlessly. The poet's reluctance to leave his friends and his endless longing for them after farewell are not expressed in a single word, but they are expressed beyond the words. They are deep, sincere, and far-reaching.
Poetic
After seeing you off in the mountains,
As the sun sets in the west, I close the firewood door.
When the spring grass will be green again next year,
Wanderer, can you come back?
Commentary: This farewell poem does not describe the reluctance to leave the pavilion, but goes a step further to express the hope of reunion after farewell. This is something that goes beyond ordinary farewell poems. At the beginning, the scene of farewell is hidden, and the writing begins with "Farewell", and then the loneliness of returning home after farewell is thicker and thicker, paving the way for the title of looking forward to his return, so he thinks that there is a time for the spring grass to become green again, and the return of the departed person. But it is difficult to determine. The feeling of farewell is beyond words. There is meaning in the mind and taste in the outside. It is truly ingenuity and one of a kind.
This poem "Farewell in the Mountains" does not describe the scene of farewell from the pavilion, but is ingenious and chooses a completely different starting point from ordinary farewell poems.
The first line of the poem, "Let's see each other off in the mountains," tells the reader at the beginning that it's time to see each other off. The farewell words and farewell feelings are expressed in a seemingly The word "stop" without any emotion was passed over in one stroke. Here, there is a jump of time from sending each other to sending each other off. The second sentence jumps from sending off the pedestrians in the daytime to "the sun sets over the firewood door", which skips a longer period of time. What did the farewell person feel and think during this period of time? When the poet cut life into the poem, he cut out all of this and treated it as a dark scene.
Anyone who has experienced parting knows that the moment before the pedestrian is gone is certainly depressing, but a feeling of loneliness and loss often lingers on the day after parting. It gets thicker and denser as the sun sets. At this moment when separation and grief are most difficult to deal with, there must be a myriad of things to write about; however, the poem only contains the act of "covering the firewood". This is an extremely common thing that people who live in the mountains do every day at dusk, and it seems to have nothing to do with saying goodbye during the day. But the poet connected these two things that were originally unrelated to each other, making this action that was repeated every day show a different meaning from the past, thus embedding the feelings of separation in the lines and the sorrow of separation in the words. Readers will naturally see the lonely demeanor and melancholy mood of the people in the poem; at the same time, they will also think: after the sunset comes the night, how will they spend this long night after the Chaimen is closed? The blank space left outside this sentence makes people think back to the infinite.
The third and fourth lines of the poem "The spring grass will be green next year, and the kings and grandchildren will not return", from "Chu Ci." "Recruiting Hermits" is adapted from the sentence "The kings and grandsons have traveled here but never come back, and the spring grass grows luxuriantly". But the poem is about sighing because the wanderer has been gone for a long time and will never come back. These two lines of poems are about the fear that the traveler will be gone for a long time and never come back on the day when he parted with the traveler. Tang Ruxun summarized the content of this poem in "Interpretation of Tang Poems" as follows: "The door is hidden in the dusk, and people can only think deeply when they are away; the grass is sometimes green, and it is difficult for travelers to return home." And "the return date is difficult to determine", it is precisely One of the reasons for "thinking far away". "Will you return home or not", as a question, should be asked to the passer-by when parting, but here it is asked to come to the mind of the resident only after the passer-by has gone and the sun is closing the door, and it has become a question that does not exist. Exit suspense. In this way, what is written is not the usual words to say when saying goodbye, but the expression of deep feelings after "farewell", which shows that the person in the poem is still shrouded in thoughts of separation until the sunset. Although they have just broken up, they are already looking forward to their early separation. After returning, I am afraid that he will not come back for a long time. As mentioned before, there are two periods of time skipped from "seeing each other off" to "covering the firewood door"; here, at sunset on the day of farewell, I think of the green grass in the coming year and ask when I will return. No return, this is another jump from the present to the future, and the jump time is even longer.
Wang Wei is good at picking up seemingly ordinary materials from life, using simple and natural language to show deep and sincere feelings, which is often interesting and interesting. God is far away. This is the poem "Farewell in the Mountains".
