Appreciation:
"Green" is one of Mr. Zhu Ziqing's early travel essays "Traces of Wenzhou". It was written on February 8, 1924. It is a well-stocked article. Beautiful and poetic essay. The article is not only titled "Green", but the word "green" is also used to naturally connect the entire text together.
The article has a small structure, with only four paragraphs and approximately 1,200 words. This is different from ordinary travel prose, but expresses the author's feelings through the green water of Meiyu Lake. Therefore, the first paragraph only uses one sentence, "When I went to Xianyan for the second time, I was surprised by how green the Meiyu Lake was." The writing is abrupt, but it highlights the title, so that readers can clearly understand the center of this article. "Meiyutan is a waterfall pool", the description of the waterfall's gushing water and the beautiful scenery like flying flowers and broken jade is precisely to set off the strange and lovely water of Meiyutan; the description of Meiyu Pavilion is precisely to transition to the description of the pavilion. Deep plum rain pool. This all pave the way for the following description of the "green" of Meiyutan. Therefore, the author did not describe the tour in detail, but just followed the footsteps of the tour and gave a concise and vivid introduction to the waterfall and Meiyu Pavilion. In the middle of the description of the Meiyu Pavilion and the waterfall, the following two sentences are inserted: "It is a thin and overcast weather in autumn. Slight clouds are flowing above us; the rock faces and grass are showing a bit of oil from the moisture. "The lush greenery." It not only describes the season of travel, but also links the word "green" from the "a bit of lush greenery", which always corresponds to the theme of the article. Finally, the whole text suddenly stops with the phrase "When I went to Xianyan for the second time, I couldn't help but be surprised by how green the Meiyu Lake was." It still boils down to the word "green", which echoes the beginning. The starting point is extraordinary and the ending is neat. The difference between the ending and the beginning is that only the word "cannot help" is added, but it is expressive. After the author's description, even readers can't help but be surprised by the green of Meiyutan.
The word "green" not only plays a connecting role in the structure of the article, it is also the focus of the integration of scenes in the whole text. The author is like a master who is good at painting, using metaphors, personification, association and other techniques to describe the strange, lovely, warm and gentle plum rain pool water from various angles, making himself admire, happy and fascinated. The emotions are blended into this green. "The shining green of Meiyutan attracts us; we begin to chase her divine light of separation." How well the two words "attract" and "chasing" harmonize! The strong attraction of the green of Meiyutan to "me" and my eagerness to appreciate the lovely green are integrated. At this point, love and scenery are as difficult to separate as water and milk. The author not only describes the static beauty of the pool through metaphors, "like a huge lotus leaf spread out, full of strange green", which makes the author unable to help but have the delusion of hugging her; he also describes her Dynamic beauty, "She is loosely wrinkled, like a young woman holding up her skirt..." With the author's brushstrokes and the waves of the author's emotions, not only the slight green ripples appear before our eyes , and it seems that we can still feel the beating of the shining green waves between our finger skins, and a soft, bright, and friendly emotion will arise from our hearts. The author even imagines her as "like a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old", wants to pat her, caress her, kiss her, and uniquely calls her "daughter green", the emotion is extremely tender. The bright and colorful pictures and the interesting feelings are so harmoniously unified. In this greenery full of poetry and life, the author's love for life is revealed, and the author's upward passion rises.
The reason why the article "Green" is so popular and has been passed down to this day is not only because it vividly depicts the "strange" and "intoxicating" green of Meiyutan, but also because of the rich poetic flavor permeated between the lines. . It not only has poetic conception and poetic structure, but also poetic emotion, poetic artistic conception, and poetic language. It can be said that poetry is used as a text, and there is poetry in the text. The latter three, namely sincere and abundant emotions, bold and rich imagination, and vivid and expressive language, are the main factors that constitute the poetic characteristics of "Green" and are the unique charm of "Green".
Although "Green" is a prose description of scenery, "all scenery words are love words". The author integrates his "deep love" for the mountains and rivers of his motherland into the detailed description of the Meiyutan scenery. , "melting the scenery into the emotion" and blending the scenes, so that the scenery is not only delicate and vivid, but also has a dense, deep, sincere and quiet emotion, expressing the "song of the author's soul", thus making the whole text full of poetry and painting. At the same time, the author's expression of emotion is not like the surging Yangtze River, which flows thousands of miles away and directly expresses his heart. First, the word "surprise" is used to express the overall feeling of the green of Meiyutan, which also symbolizes the author's inner drive to capture and explore the beautiful scenery of Meiyutan. Then, through onomatopoeic coloring and meticulous description, we are shown a three-dimensional picture of the environment around Meiyutan.
In the article "Green", the author also gave full play to his rich imagination to create distinct and vivid images, bringing readers into an artistic realm like poetry and painting, and also powerfully expressed It reflects the author's sincere and abundant emotions and produces a strong artistic appeal.
Mr. Zhu Ziqing is quite accomplished in language. His prose language mostly uses spoken language, which is concise, simple, easy and natural.
In order to express his feelings, he attached great importance to the refinement and processing of language, the creation of words and the refinement of characters, and strived to create poetic artistic conception with vivid and expressive language, finding elegance in simplicity and reaching a "hard-to-reach state".
The language of "Green" is very representative. To sum up, there are three main aspects of aesthetic characteristics: painting beauty, dynamic beauty, and musical beauty.
The beauty of painting is reflected in the author's description of the mountain waterfall, which uses only one sentence: "Inlaid with two wet black edges, a strip of white and shiny water appears in front of you." The word "set" is used to describe the state of the waterfall in the mountain stream, which is both accurate and realistic, making the waterfall full of three-dimensionality. Dynamic beauty, the author wrote that the image of Meiyu Pavilion is "standing on a protruding corner of the rock, empty above and below, as if a goshawk is floating in the sky with its wings spread." The word "踞" shows the full momentum, the word "floating" shows the full expression, and the word "螞" and the word "floating" turn silence into movement, making the Meiyu Pavilion standing in the sky with wings on the stone vivid and vivid. . The music is beautiful. The language of "Green" has a distinct sense of rhythm and a clear and harmonious melody. It is catchy and melodious to read, and can make readers immersed in the wonderful music, creating a feeling of "both pleasant to the ears and enjoyable to listen to". The aesthetic characteristics of "the heart and the bottom of the ear".
Appreciation 2:
Appreciation of the female beauty in Zhu Ziqing's "Green"
In his famous prose "Green", Mr. Zhu Ziqing described the "green" of Meiyutan. "Observe and describe as an "artistic woman" (Chinese in Zhu Ziqing's prose "Women"), with implicit or explicit images of beautiful women, forming a rich and beautiful female landscape, fully demonstrating the poetic flavor of "green" With its charming image, it can truly be described as a “gathering of artistic women”!
1. "Luo Shen": the beauty of pearlescent costumes:
"The shining green of Meiyutan attracts us; we begin to chase her divine light of separation and separation." "The Divine Light of Clutch" originally described the magical scene of the sparkling, flickering water in the Meiyu Lake. But here, the author compares "green" to the beautiful Luo Shen to praise and admire. Cao Zhi tried his best to describe the beauty of the Luo God in "Ode to the Luo God", and also wrote about his "Jie Yupei" to express "sincerity", expressing his incomparable love for the Luo God, and then wrote: "Then the Luo God was distracted, and he moved and hesitated. Divine light separates and combines, yin and yang. "Just like "yongdian" in poetry, "yongdian" here is also to arouse our associations and enrich the expressive power of the article. The "green" of Meiyutan is like the Luo Shen who is "resplendent in robes, colorful in Eryao and blue, wearing gold and jade jewelry, and adorned with pearls to dazzle her body". She is so luxurious, bright and dazzling, showing a " The beauty of "the gold is excavated by mistake, and the eyes are full of carvings" attracts people to pursue and yearn for it.
2. "Young Woman": Graceful and graceful body beauty:
Body beauty is the beauty of human body postures and movements, and is the static and dynamic beauty of the human body with sculptural factors. It can express a person's spiritual temperament better than a person's appearance, and "the agility and grace of movement are signs of the correct and well-proportioned development of the human body. They are loved wherever they are" (Chernyshevs base language). "Green" describes the appearance of the pool: "She is loosely wrinkled, like the skirt of a young woman." In Zhu Ziqing's eyes, the "flat and thick green of Meiyutan" is like a huge piece of green silk, with soft waves rippling when the breeze blows. The gentle curves presented by this "curvy wave" were called by the British painter William Hogarth "the most beautiful line" of all lines and the "peak of beauty" because "it guides the eye with a kind of love." "I have an active nature to chase them" ("Analysis of Beauty"). This smooth and brisk beauty is like a charming young woman wearing a tight-fitting green dress with a floor-length hem, walking with a well-proportioned and light pace. Come, like a flower in full bloom, with gauze and jade, and a faint fragrance. The elegant curves of her body and the overall undulating outline, as well as the dancing skirt behind her, reflect the gracefulness and fitness of young women, giving people an elegant, harmonious and vibrant beauty, which will naturally make people feel... Her outstanding feminine charm.
3. "Girl": Shy and affectionate beauty of grace:
Beauty of grace is a person's style and temperament, mainly the beauty revealed in the expression, behavior, and treatment of others. . "She played with it gently, like the beating heart of a virgin in first love" (see "Collected Works of Zhu Ziqing", the Chinese textbook has been abridged, the same below). Due to the inflow of waterfalls, the pool water is turbulent and vortexing underwater, and the water surface is rippled. This scene reminds the author of the girl who fell in love for the first time. She was in love for the first time, shy and affectionate, dating her lover with rosy lovesickness, but she was shy, timid, and difficult to talk about, so she could only cover it up by gently stroking the corners of her clothes or wearing a flower handkerchief. On the surface, he is calm and reserved, but inside he is burning with the passion of love, like a jade rabbit in his arms, dancing violently, and the sound of jumping can be faintly heard. This interesting description expresses the indescribable charm of "green" that seems to be still but not still, and contains movement in the stillness. It gives "green" the lingering pathos and modest shy beauty of a girl in first love. It is really touching. It is secretly said that "like a water lotus that is shy in the cool breeze", it is all in the "gentleness of bowing its head" (Xu Zhimo: "Sayang Nala")!
4. "Wife": gentle and delicate personality beauty:
"She is smooth and bright, as if she has been coated with 'varnish', as soft as egg white, so So tender, it reminds me of the tenderest skin I have ever touched.”
The color and texture of "green" are bright and soft. In Zhu Ziqing's sensory experience, "the tenderest skin he has ever touched" is naturally the skin of his wife and daughter Cai Zhi, who was only 4 years old at the time. "Snowy skin condensed with fat" and "high quality revealed", it is so Soft, smooth, white and delicate, just as Du Fu wrote: "The texture is fine and the bones are even" ("Beautiful People"), full of the beauty of symmetry and harmony. At the same time, it reminds people of what Jia Baoyu said in "A Dream of Red Mansions" that "daughters are flesh and blood made of water", which makes people "refreshing" when they see her. Especially his wife Wu Zhongqian, who is gentle and honest, with a personality like "water" - of course not the water that rushes and jumps in the river and sea, but the gurgling mountain spring and stream, full of water-like tenderness, quiet, tactful and gentle like a daughter of a water town. , delicate, virtuous, "never lost his temper", "not even a trace of complaint" (Zhu Ziqing: "To the Dead Wife"), making family life filled with deep affection.
5. "Beauty": crystal clear and pure quality beauty:
"She is not mixed with dust, just like a piece of warm jasper, only clear and clear- But you can’t see through her.” "Jasper" originally refers to clear green jade, and was later often used to describe women (the so-called "Xiaojia Jasper"), and "like flowers and jade" is a metaphor for beautiful women. The reason why jade is beautiful is that it can be compared to the noble character advocated by a gentleman. In "The Book of Songs·Qin Feng·Xiao Rong" there is a saying that "talking about a gentleman is as gentle as jade." The warmth of jade is used to describe gentleness. , generous; in "Shishuoxinyu" Pinzao, people with good qualities are also called jade people. The "green" of Meiyutan is clear, pure and beautiful. It is like a "beautiful woman" who is beautiful and unconventional, with noble character. She is full of charm and charm. You want to see her but you can't see through her - like a hibiscus emerging from the water, you are so close. , beautiful and pleasing but not toy with, cute and more respectable! From here, we also look up to the beauty of Zhu Ziqing's great personality.
6. "Xi Shi": the spiritual beauty of "full of inner appearance and outer appearance":
Since it is difficult to see through this beautiful and attractive "green", but also can't let go of "her", the author I have no choice but to continue to search for my own feelings, and express the strangeness of "green" with the help of association and contrast: the "green" of Meiyutan has suitable shades of green and harmonious light and shade, which reminds people of Su Shi's "If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable." "The poem connects the "green" in front of you with the beautiful and fragrant Yue beauty Xi Shi. Wenzhou was a place of Yue in ancient times, Xishi was a people of Yue, and the spirits of geographical figures are corresponding. The "green" beauty of Meiyutan is actually the reproduction of the beauty of Xi Shi. Xi Shi not only has the appearance of conquering the country, but also has a spirit of self-sacrifice that endures humiliation and serves the country. "Why should I die a thousand times to repay the kindness of my country?" (Xiao Jun: "The Spring and Autumn History of Wuyue"). It is precisely because of this deep inner character and spirit that "appears on the outside" that Xi Tzu's beauty can shine forever. Here, the author imagines and describes the "strangeness" of "green" from the "strangeness" of "Xi Shi", and expresses the "astonishing" beauty of "green". It is really original!
7. "Goddess": magical and kind-hearted beauty:
After the author captured the strangeness of "green", he also pursued her "magic": "That intoxicating How green! If I could cut you into a belt, I would give it to the lithe dancing girl; if I could cut you into a pair of eyes, I would give it to the blind girl who is good at singing. My bright eyes are good at gazing. "At this moment, the author is wandering around with things, using the wings of association to exaggerate the magic and power of "green": it can make the dancing girl become enchanted, and it can make the blind girl express her love with bright eyes. What a magical scene it is. The "green"! In the madness of capturing the "green", the author seems to feel that "she" is a "goddess" with boundless dharma, infinite power and kindness. This kind heart and beautiful wishes are the reflection of Zhu Ziqing's aesthetic ideal of "art for life".
8. "Daughter": the lively and lovely beauty of life:
"Green" is intoxicating. In his ecstasy, the author regarded "Green" as a lively and lovely "little girl of 12 or 13 years old", and further regarded "her" as his "daughter" who was growing up, photographing her, Touch her, kiss her, and call her "daughter green" in a chic way. The love is sincere, euphemistic and tortuous, yet free and smooth. It expresses the father's love for his daughter, and the words and life burst into one, making the poetic image of "daughter green" full of infinite interest and vitality, revealing the author's love for his daughter. It is a tribute to the beauty of healthy and lively life, and the infinite love for life, which embodies the author's vigorous passion. "Green" symbolizes life, vibrant business, dynamic growth, and the author's enterprising spirit!
Comparing "water" to women is not Zhu Ziqing's original creation. However, he had a unique insight and discovered the underlying "female beauty" in it, and developed rich and colorful imagination, and used rich and delicate descriptions, which shows the author's profound life experience, rich aesthetic emotions and pursuit of a noble artistic realm.
He felt "astonished" from the "green" in his eyes, appreciated the vitality of nature, and then "had all kinds of secluded reveries" (Xia Zunzun: "Winter at White Horse Lake"), and wonderfully realized the "feminine beauty" of "green" , blending the holy "artistic woman" who has been lingering in my heart for a long time with the green and beautiful lake in front of me: all descriptions fall on "green", showing the show, beauty, wonder and beauty of "green", It can be said to be "near but not superficial" (Sikong Tu: "Poetry", the same below); and from "green" it is written about women's clothing, appearance, body shape, skin, behavior and other external beauty, showing character, quality, spirit, Inner beauty, such as the soul, is "far away but never endless". Exchanges from far and near, combined forces of ancient and modern times, unity of gods and humans, harmony inside and outside, using the tangible to express the invisible, and using "moments" to unfold eternity, manifested as the multi-dimensional expansion of the thinking space, making the "feminine beauty" of "green" become a three-dimensional and unparalleled beautiful. This is the reason why the aesthetic creation and aesthetic function of "Green" are fully exerted.
