A lone goose doesn't want to drink water, refuses to eat, just flies low and longs for its companion. Whoever pities a shadow loses a million clouds.
Hope is like seeing, sadness is more like smelling.
Lonely goose
Tang cuitu
Qi Fei's companions have all returned to the frontier, and only you, the wild goose, do not know where to fly alone. You call them in the evening rain, and the cold pond comes late alone.
In Zhu Yun's low darkness, the moon is cold and far away. Although you may not be subject to the plot and ruin the funeral of your life, it is just the loss of the group flying, after all, the fear of panic.
Poetry about objects is an important part of classical poetry. Ancient poets like to chant things, whether it is mountains, rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects, as long as everything in nature can be the object of poet's description, and in the process of detailed description of things, poets always express their unique feelings by this. When geese fly south and north, it is inevitable that they will lose their group during the flight, which also provides the poet with a basis for writing his feelings. Poets Du Fu and Cui Tu both expressed their unique feelings about the theme of lonely geese.
First of all, although the two authors wrote this poem in a similar way, the situation is not the same. Du Fu's Lonely Goose was written when the author lived in Kuizhou in the early years of Dali. At this time, the poet experienced an Shi rebellion. In that turbulent era, the poet was in a foreign land, and his relatives and friends were separated, but he longed for the reunion of flesh and blood all the time, never dreaming of the reunion of close friends. Therefore, through the persistence of the lonely goose in the poem, Cui Tu's Lonely Goose was also written when he lived in a foreign country. The poet was originally from Jiangnan, and he often lived in a foreign country all his life. Therefore, this poem expresses the strong sense of loneliness, desolation and helplessness when he lives in a foreign country through his loneliness and panic.
Secondly, the opening of the two poems is different. Du Fu's poem begins with a topic, that is, calling out a "lonely goose" to make it unique. He didn't drink or peck, but kept flying and screaming. His voice revealed that he missed his companions, not only missing them, but also chasing them desperately. This is a lonely goose with strong feelings and persistence. Cui's poems are based on music. "Line after line of people flew over the border. What is the only reason to miss you?" Title, secretly buckle the word "lonely" in the poem, and write the background of lonely geese. At this moment, the poet is standing on the post building, looking from a distance, I saw a lonely goose hovering low in the sky. The contrast between "walking" and "independence" is self-evident. And "girl" implies the author's sympathy. "What's the only thing" shows that the poet is staying in the guest place at the moment, and writing down his sadness beside the wild goose.
The difference in the opening of the two poems reflects the different roles of opening and hiding in poetry creation.
Third, the two couplets in the middle of the two poems have different emphases. Du Fu's poems try to highlight the loneliness and longing of the lonely geese chasing their companions. Cui's poems are more about the description of the lonely goose's lost expression, which is very detailed.
The realm of Du Fu's poems was suddenly enlightened. In the vast sky, the lonely gosling is just a "shadow", lost in the "thousand clouds" with the geese. At this time, the goose is in a state of anxiety, uneasiness and confusion. The sky is high and the road is far, and the sea of clouds is filled. Where will it find its lost partner? The word "who is pitiful" in this couplet opens the poet's heart: "Lonely goose, I am as sad as you, who will pity me?" Everything here is integrated with me, and the lonely goose is just the shadow of the poet. The neckline is closely connected with the upper couplet, which depicts the distinctive personality of the lonely goose from the psychological level. He was entangled in thoughts and tortured by pain, which forced him to keep flying. It looks far into the sky, as if the stray geese are always in front of it; It brays, as if its partner's voice has been echoing in its ears, so it has to keep chasing and calling. These two sentences vividly express the author's urgent mood and pain of longing for the reunion of flesh and blood and dreaming of the reunion of close friends every day. This is precisely affection and sorrow.
Cui Shi's couplet "You call them in the evening rain, and you slowly land on the cold pond" is the warning strategy of the whole movie. The third sentence is about the reason for losing the ball, and the fourth sentence is about the performance of the color after losing the ball. On a rainy evening, a lonely goose croaked and groaned, with a piercing voice. It can no longer withstand the wind and rain and feels powerless to move forward. The front is just a pond with rustling reeds. I want to settle down, but I am single-minded and have circled several times. It can be seen that the author hesitated and was afraid of his own behavior. The necklace couplet "Zhu Yun flies low and dark, facing the cold moon along the wall" is also from the couplet, which says that the lonely goose wears Yunfei and flaps its wings with the moon, but it is still lonely. "Zhu Yun is low" has created a depressing and frightening atmosphere for the lonely goose, and the author is on the lookout, expecting the lonely goose to cross the dark clouds and get out of danger. "Closing the moon" is an imagination. Although it is within reach, it still seems to be visible. It has devoted all its attention to the lonely goose. The words "low" and "cold" in these two sentences set off the lonely goose, highlighting its difficult journey and desolate mood. The author's worry about travel is the embodiment of the unity of things and me.
Although Du Fu's poems and Cui Wei's poems are different in conception and description angle, the emotional appeal of the unity of things and me is the same. Du Fu's melancholy pursuit of his companions and Cui Wei's loneliness and desolation are all lodged by lonely geese.
Finally, the endings of the two poems are unique. At the end of Du Fu's poems, brush strokes are used as a foil to express the poet's feelings of love and hate. Lonely geese are so eager to miss the group, so painful and so tired, but the wild ducks don't understand at all. They are noisy and enjoy it. "Unintentional love" is Du Fu's mood in the face of wild ducks, and it is also his boring mood of not meeting relatives and friends, but facing some ordinary people, which shows that the author's realm is different.
Cui Shi wrote the poet's best wishes in the last two sentences, and also pointed out the word "solitary" in the front, so his eyes were clear and bright. "If they catch you with a net or a gun, will it be worse than flying alone?" It means that the lone goose may not be stabbed in the back, but flying alone will always make people suspicious, which looks like a comforting word from the tone, comforting the lone goose and comforting themselves; However, in fact, I was more worried, because I was afraid to go to the cold pond and exclaimed that losing my partner was a sign of shock. Only here did I tell the reason for the shock. At this time, the poet was wandering in a foreign land and things were difficult. It is the poet who uses a lonely goose as a metaphor to show his lonely and worried wandering feelings.
The ancients said that "poetry is based on emotion" and "poetry is based on ambition". However, due to the different experiences of Du Fu and Cui Tu, they observe the lonely goose from different angles and have different standpoints in poetry. Du Fu's poems lie in the realm of solitary geese's persistent thoughts, while Cui's poems lie in the loneliness, panic and lingering fear of solitary geese. In fact, no matter what, it is the author's different feelings about the same thing. Du Fu's poems are sonorous and powerful, while Cui's poems are carefully worded, with no idle pen and lingering sound. The other two poems also have the poetic characteristics of the unity of things and me. & ltp p & gt& lt/p p & gt；
