"Qian Chibi Fu"
Qian Chibi Fu generally refers to "Chibi Fu", which is a poem written by Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was written in the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Shenzong of the Song Dynasty (1082). Year) when the author was demoted to Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei). This poem describes what the author and his friends saw and felt while boating on a moonlit night at Red Cliff. It uses the author's subjective feelings as clues and uses the form of question and answer to reflect the author's transition from the comfort of boating on a moonlit night to the sadness of nostalgia for the past and the sadness of the present. The philosophy of spiritual liberation. The whole Fu reflects its unique artistic conception in its layout and structural arrangement, with profound charm and penetrating ideas. It has a high literary status in Chinese literature and had a significant influence on subsequent Fu, prose and poetry.
This poem has the following characteristics in terms of artistic techniques:
The integration of "emotion, scenery, and reason". The whole text, whether lyrical or argumentative, is always inseparable from the scenery on the river and the story of Red Cliff, forming a fusion of emotion, scenery and reason. The whole story is run through scenery, with wind and moon as the main scenery, supplemented by mountains and water. The author captures the wind and moon to describe and discuss. The article is divided into three levels to express the author's complex and contradictory inner world: First, he writes about rafting on the river on a moonlit night, drinking and composing poems, which makes people immersed in the beautiful scenery and forgetting worldly happiness; secondly, he writes about the rise and fall of historical figures, feeling that life is short, It is constantly changing, so it falls into the anguish of reality; in the end, it elaborates on the philosophy of change and immutability, stating that human beings and all things exist forever, showing a broad-minded and optimistic attitude towards life. The description of scenery, lyricism and reasoning have reached a perfect harmony.
The genre form of "using text as prose". This article not only retains the poetic characteristics and charm of traditional Fu style, but also absorbs the style and techniques of prose. It breaks the shackles of Fu in terms of sentence structure, duality of tone and rhythm, etc., and is more of a prose component, making the article have both the deep emotional charm of poetry and the penetrating ideas of prose. The style and tone of the prose make the whole article gloomy and frustrating, like "a spring of ten thousand dendrobiums gushing out".
