Painting is a five-character quatrain written by an anonymous poet in Song Dynasty (about Wang Wei in Tang Dynasty or Zen master in Southern Song Dynasty). This poem describes the natural scenery, but praises a painting. The first two sentences are written about beautiful scenery and silent running water; The last two sentences describe that flowers bloom in four seasons, and birds are not afraid of people. The four poems constitute a complete picture of landscape flowers and birds. The whole poem is neat in antithesis, especially the use of many groups of antonyms in the poem, which makes it clear in rhythm, straightforward, full of charm and easy to read.
Appreciate:
First of all, this poem describes the image on the screen very skillfully with simple words. The third word in each poem is "mountain", "water", "flower" and "bird". The green hills are towering, the flowing water is gurgling, the flowers are in full bloom and the birds are dancing, which constitutes a prosperous and beautiful overall realm.
The first sentence, "The mountains are colorful in the distance", is an intuitive and objective image. This is a "quiet place", which has a sense of beauty because of its distance, making people feel that it has unlimited scenery. This color has infinite meanings, but the beauty of comeliness, handsome, red, wet and green can also be the beauty of cool gray, or it can be a strange and extraordinary color, which can only be tasted by meditators.
The second sentence is "listening to water is silent", because the source is running water, so there is "dynamic environment" The word "silent" has entered a quiet state, quiet and far-reaching, and there is no contradiction with the first sentence. The poet can be said to be adept at choosing between motion and static. Moreover, since poetry is about painting, painting is naturally silent, which has nothing to do with "listening close" and "listening far" But logically speaking, "negative" contains "positive", and negative propositions always assume positive propositions first.
"Water is silent" not only describes the objective facts of painting, but also indicates that the water in painting should have a sound, but now it seems to have a sound, which makes the viewer have the desire to "listen attentively", which is also the reason why superb painting art plays an empathetic role.
