In terms of poetry, Li Bai's poems and songs are well-known in China, and even many children's enlightenment education is carried out under the guidance of Tang poetry. Although Tang poetry, Song ci and Xiao Quling in Yuan Dynasty are neck and neck in the history of literature, for most people in China, the influence of Tang poetry far exceeds the latter two. Li Bai is a representative of Tang poetry.
However, at present, many people suddenly question Li Bai's Thoughts on a Quiet Night, because Li Bai's Thoughts on a Quiet Night begins with two sentences: Will there be frost on the bright line at the foot of my bed? . Some people think this statement is too contradictory, because there will be no frost flowers on the ground in front of the bed.
Misunderstanding of the bed
In most of the previous enlightenment Tang poetry books, in order to make it easier for children to understand Tang poetry, pictures were always attached. Most of the pictures in Silent Night are of a man in the Tang Dynasty (referring to Li Bai) at the bedside, looking up at the full moon outside the window. It is true that this model is beautiful, but this explanation has caused great controversy at present. Many people think that this explanation does not really express the meaning of this Tang poem. Experts pointed out? Bed? In this poem, it doesn't mean bed, but refers to? Well site? .
In fact, in Tang poetry, in bed. Understanding, there are probably the following concepts:
The first kind, the bed. For example, there is a saying in the poem "The Wife of General Pinglu": Get up. The bed here refers to the bed.
Second, the fence on the well. For example, there is a saying in Li Shangyin's Fu Ping Hou: Build a silver bed at the wellhead.
The third kind, Hu Chuang. The chairman's predecessor. Hu Chuang was introduced into the Central Plains from Hu people in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and was later improved into a chair. Before that, the people of China practiced it. Sitting on the floor? Even during the Han and Wei dynasties, what else? Break up? Statement.
Because? Bed? The concept is different. Did Li Bai mention it in Silent Night Thinking? Bed? What concept it refers to is controversial at present. Therefore, the interpretation of Li Bai's Thoughts on a Quiet Night can be carried out from many angles.
Stratigraphic interpretation
In literature, the moon is a model full of homesickness, especially the change of the moon, which reminds people of the joys and sorrows of the world. Li Bai, who drifted alone, woke up in the clear moonlight and the dead of night and felt the success and failure of his half life, which may produce a sense of sadness.
Because Li Bai lives alone in a foreign country, his loneliness will become more and more intense under the rendering of moonlight. This loneliness may feel a chill in the moonlight, which is not physical but psychological.
At this time, Li Bai's mood is undoubtedly low. Perhaps Li Bai remembered the scene of being with his family in his hometown when he was a child, or perhaps he remembered the scene of singing and dancing with his friends in Chang 'an and other metropolises. These past events kept emerging in front of Li Bai's eyes, looking up at the light brought by the moonlight beside the bed. Although Li Bai knew it was moonlight, in Li Bai's eyes, it was frost? Frost that brings cold breath to Li Bai's mind.
Of course, we can't mistakenly think that Li Bai doesn't understand science, so ignorant that frost flowers will appear on the ground. As a kind of literature, Tang poetry is allowed to be exaggerated. If we blindly care about science, then literature and art will cease to exist, for example:
Li Bai said? White hair is three times as long as thousands of feet. How can there be such long hair under the sun?
Liu Zongyuan said? The bird-free paleontologists in Baishan will not judge the extinction of species in Tang Dynasty because of this poem;
Children's songs? Erlang Mountain is so high that no one will question: How is this Erlang Mountain higher than Mount Everest?
Therefore, judging from Li Bai's state of mind, it is understandable to compare the moonlight symbolizing homesickness at the bedside to frost.
Inoue fence
Of course, the argument of the fence on the well can also make sense.
In ancient China, a well was more than just a drinking water channel. "Good" has different meanings in different times.
In the Zhou dynasty, the well symbolized a residential unit, and the Zhou dynasty pursued the mining field system, that is, the well was the core, and there were eight families living in it. These eight families were called? A well? , the famous Zhou Dynasty? Well site system? It also stems from this. But in the Warring States period, due to the rapid development of water conservancy technology, the well field system? Abandoned by the vassal States, but? Hmm? As a symbol of hometown, its significance has been handed down in later generations. In Chinese,? Market? Is regarded as a model of the secular world, and? Going out? It also connects hometown with wells. It can be said that the well is already a symbol of hometown. This leads to an old saying: beauty is not beautiful, hometown water.
One night, when the bright moon rose, Li Bai felt depressed and frustrated in his life, so Li Bai decided to walk in the yard for a while. When Li Bai saw the fence by the well in the yard, he suddenly remembered his hometown, and the homesickness complex came into being. The moonlight scattered by the bright moon in the sky, beside the fence of the well on the ground, dyed a piece of land white, like frost flowers in autumn.
Autumn is a sentimental season, because autumn represents the cold, and autumn represents most of the year. Old-fashioned, vaguely makes people feel old. If spring means youth, represents the beginning of a new life, represents vitality and vigor, then summer symbolizes maturity, full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm for everything, while autumn can understand the hesitation and helplessness of adults in half their lives, and winter can be understood as the end of life.
The frost flowers forged by moonlight in late autumn made Li Bai feel at a loss: Is it already late autumn? When Li Bai realized that the frost on the ground was moonlight, his mood was even more depressed.
From the perspective of conception, autumn frost, well, bright moon and atmosphere in late autumn are all elements symbolizing homesickness. These elements together form a picture with homesickness as the main tone, which makes people feel sad and helpless after reviewing.
