Appreciation
The first sentence, "It rains in every house during the yellow plum season" explains the environment at that time. The Huangmei season is when the plum blossoms turn from green to yellow a few days after the beginning of summer. It rains a lot in the south of the Yangtze River, commonly known as Huangmei Tian. At that time, the drizzle was continuous, as the saying goes, "The flying flowers are as light as dreams, and the boundless rain is as thin as sorrow." For vision, it is a low comfort. As for the rain hitting the tiles with thousands of petals, from far to near, gently, heavily, gently, there are streams of water flowing down along the tile grooves and eaves, and various percussion sounds and glides are densely woven together. "Net", as if "whose fingers are massaging the helix", the mood is extremely peaceful and peaceful.
In the sentence "frogs are everywhere in the grassy pond", the poet's attention naturally turns from the drizzle to In the distance - the sound of frogs one after another, it is these frog sounds that highlight the tranquility around that time. Just imagine, if your heart is not calm and your mind is wandering, but you are anxious and irritable, how can you know the faint "insect sound" tonight? "New green window screen"
Look at the third sentence "If you have an appointment, you can't come until midnight." I guess that the reason why the book draws the "anxious" conclusion is probably based on this sentence. My friend has passed It's midnight. If you were me, you would certainly be anxious. But this is Zhao Shixiu, one of the "Four Spirits of Yongjia" and known as the "Ghost Talent". Zhao Shixiu, also known as Zizhi and Lingxiu, was a Jinshi in the first year of Guangzong Shaoxi. , once served as the governor of Shangyuan County, and was promoted to an official in Junzhou. Although he was an official, he was frustrated and often traveled among the mountains and rivers with monks and Taoists. He yearned for a quiet and indifferent life, and even wanted to "return to his hometown" like Tao Yuanming. " ("Nine guests and one feathered clothes went boating, and the rhymes were distinguished, so they sent Zhu Jizhong as a gift"). After his death, the Jianghu sect leader Dai Fuxu wrote "Weeping for Zhao Zizhi", saying that he was "a figure in the Eastern Jin Dynasty". It should not be Are you anxious when you have an appointment and don’t come until midnight?
In the last sentence, “knock the chess pieces and let the lights fall”, the word “idle” in “knocking the chess pieces for a while” should be as if we are bored because of our little time. , I saw the ink on the desk, so I picked it up casually and nonchalantly, scribbling away, just like Lu You's interest in "writing leisurely on a short piece of paper", just like this, Zhao Shixiu sat in front of the lamp, waiting for the guests to arrive. , being bored, I saw the chess pieces in the game, so I picked them up casually and carelessly, and knocked them away. Why did I feel anxious?
About the author
Zhao Shixiu (1170～ 1219) Poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. His nickname was Zizhi, Lingzhi, and his nickname was Lingxiu. He was a Jinshi scholar in the first year of Guangzong Shaoxi (1190), and he was also named Lingxiu and Xu Ji. Yuan) and Wengjuan (also known as Lingshu) were collectively known as the "Four Spirits of Yongjia" and created the "Jianghu School" poetry style. He died in Lin'an when he was an official. There are two volumes of "Zhao Shixiu Collection" and one volume of "Tianletang Collection", which have been lost. There is one volume of "Qingyuanzhai Collection", "Collection of Qunxian of the Southern Song Dynasty" and "Yongjia Collection". "Poet's Ancestral Hall Cong Ke".
Zhao Shixiu is the most outstanding writer among the "Yongjia Four Spirits". He respected Yao He and Jia Dao as the "Er Miao" in poetry. "Collection" selected 121 poems by Yao and 81 poems by Jia. Most of them were five-character poems. From Shen Quan's time onwards, 76 poems were collected, excluding Du Fu, but as many as 23 poems by Liu Changqing. The purpose of the compilation is similar to that of "Er Miao Collection", which is probably a supplement to "Er Miao Collection", and it is against the Jiangxi School's "writing of books as poetry". Poems and poems similar to Yao and Jia's style often follow their meaning or apply their syntax. For example, in Yao He's "Send Zong Shenyan", "The post roads are mostly connected with water, and half of the state and city are in the clouds." Zhao's poem "Xue Shi Gualu" has "There are more wild waters than the ground, and half of the spring mountains are clouds." This is an example (" Poet Jade Chips" Volume 19 quotes Huang □). He is better at five rhymes. The two couplets in the middle describe the scenery, and occasionally include aphorisms, such as "The waterfall is close to the spring wind and dampness, and the pines are many and the sun is green at dawn" in "Tongbai Temple". However, there are not many who are completely intact. He claimed that "I am fortunate enough to have only forty characters in an article, and I have added one more character, so what can I do?" (quoted by Liu Kezhuang, "Preface to the Collection of Wild Valleys") It can be seen that he is in a state of embarrassment. Qi Jue's "Meeting Guests" wrote: "Every house is raining during the Huangmei season, and frogs are everywhere in the grassy ponds. If I have an appointment, I won't come until midnight, and I will knock the chess pieces and let the lanterns fall." It is clear and natural, and has been chosen by many to be included in this anthology.
