Moonlight over the Lotus Pond is a famous essay written by Mr. Zhu Ziqing in July 1927. Because Chiang Kai-shek defected to the revolution, China was in darkness, and the author was "in a mess, but still in a fire". The author painted a beautiful picture in the article-
On the winding lotus pond, I look forward to the leaves of Tian Tian. The leaves are high out of the water, like an elegant dancer's skirt. Layers of leaves are dotted with some white flowers, some of which bloom gracefully and some are in bud shyly; Like a pearl, like a star in the blue sky. The breeze blew, sending wisps of fragrance, like a faint song on a tall building in the distance. At this time, the leaves and flowers also trembled slightly, like lightning, passing through the lotus pond in an instant. The leaves are close side by side, so there are clear wave marks. Below the leaves is flowing water, which is covered and can't see some colors; Leaves are more exposed to the wind. ...
This song "winding lotus pond, dense lotus leaves, scattered lotus flowers, faint moonlight and fragrant lotus flowers" combines the author's faint but deep loneliness and depression, and is the reflection of that dark age in the author's mind, revealing a touch of sadness and joy.
Zhang Jie, a contemporary female writer, has such a description of the scenery in the article Digging shepherd's purse.
The sun set, and the amber sunset gradually receded from the horizon. In the distance, the bells in the temple rang in the twilight. The sheep bleated, and the herding children hurried back to the circle; The crow croaked back to its nest. The night is getting darker and darker, and villages, Woods, potholes and ditches all seem to fall into mysterious silence at once.
This description selects some distinctive scenery and depicts a beautiful, peaceful and quiet picture of returning home late, which is completely integrated with the complicated feelings of loneliness, loneliness, anxiety, sadness and fear of going home at that time, and forms a strong contrast with my tragic situation.
The ancients said: "Those who take people's hearts don't put feelings first." Liu Xie once said: "Mountaineering is full of emotion, while watching the sea is full of meaning." The writer observes the scenery with affectionate eyes and paints it with affectionate pens. The scenery he wrote is naturally full of subjective emotions. When writing, you should be good at expressing your feelings through the scenery, so that the scenery is full of feelings.
In writing, it has become one of the common skills to express one's mentality and feelings by praising or belittling something. This kind of brushwork, which places thoughts and feelings on things, is called expressing one's will by supporting things. Generally speaking, expressing one's will by holding things is achieved by symbolic means.
