3. Appreciation:
The couplet "The water chestnuts with water chestnuts and geese, the mulberry elms and swallows in the beams" paints a vivid picture: the geese are in the pond full of water chestnuts. Playing and swimming in the water, swallows fly out from the mulberry and elm trees with mud in their mouths and build nests between the roof beams. This couplet only uses nouns to form verses, without using verbs or adjectives. This is a special syntax of Chinese classical poetry.
Is the second couplet "water chestnut water and goose water, mulberry elm and swallow beam" done well? Which of these two sentences is the subject? Which is the predicate? No. There are no verbs or adjectives, just nouns put together, "Ling Xing Goose Water". This is the special syntax of poetry. You can imagine that the geese are playing in the water, and there are water chestnuts on the water. Don't tell them. Just use "Ling Xiang Goose Water", and the same goes for "Mulberry Swallow Liang". The swallows go back and forth in the trees, making their own nests from the branches of the mulberry and elm trees, and then come back to make their own bird's nests. You can do this yourself. Just imagine. It is such a kind of syntax, which is a particularly neat syntax.
"Lingliangs and geese are in the water, and mulberry trees and swallows are in the beams." This poem can be compared with "The fish come out in the drizzle, and the swallows slant in the breeze." Frost." This is one of Lin Daiyu's many best sentences.
