Comment on the ancient poem "Autumn Night Meeting the King"

Poetry in Autumn Night is a five-character quatrain written by Wang Ji, a poet in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. The first two sentences of this poem, "Let's go to Beitian and cut the millet", mainly describe that the poet met a stone on his way home late after a busy day of farming. The last two sentences, "Meet the full moon, it is more worth flying at night", describe the natural scenery when meeting friends. The artistic features of this poem are: controlling the scenery with emotion, and supporting the feelings with scenery.

Chu Shi, the king of autumn night.

Wang Ji

There will be a wild mushroom running in the north field and millet cutting in the east.

It's worth flying at night when you meet a full moon.

Appreciate:

Wang Ji was depressed all his life and retired twice until his death. The poem "See King Chu Shi in Autumn Night" reflects his seclusion. Chu Shi, an ancient title for a reclusive and methodical person.

In the first two sentences of this poem, the poet met Shi on his way home after a busy day of farming. Tao Yuanming, who is quoted by the poet as "five buckets of rice don't bend his back", is also in the same tune, and he is also engaged in farming after retirement. The words "Zhao Chang" and "Gaodong" indicate where they work. "Cloud fire" and "cutting millet" refer to specific farm work such as weeding beans and cutting millet respectively. The change of location and farming activities implies the constant change of natural scenery, which adds the pleasure of flowing aesthetic feeling to the poet's vision. Beauty and the joy of harvest are intertwined, making poetry look pleasant. At this moment, I feel relaxed and happy to meet like-minded friends. These two sentences are unremarkable, without any description and rendering, and there is almost no poem, but it is in this casual and dull tone and slow and leisurely rhythm that the poet's habit of pastoral life and a leisurely and leisurely interest are revealed. Wang Ji's living conditions in seclusion are rich, and taking part in field work such as "cloud fire" and "cutting millet" only adds a relaxed and pleasant embellishment to his pastoral life. The harmonious balance of mind caused by this kind of life is the background and condition of the scene of "happy encounter on autumn night" described in the following two sentences.

Three or four sentences, "When you meet a full moon, it is more worth flying at night", describe the natural scenery when you meet your friends-the full moon is like a white jade plate, hanging high in the night sky, the bright moonlight shines on the path, and the fireflies in the field fly around with countless small lanterns, reflecting all the way, which is not interesting. Their appearance has added mobile intention and happy business to this quiet and leisurely mountain village in autumn night, so that it will not appear monotonous and cold. At the same time, the change of local flow in turn highlights the tranquility and serenity of the whole mountain village in autumn night. There is no positive description of the scene where two people meet, and there is no word "hi". But through this painting of autumn night in a mountain village composed of a dissolved bright moon and a small firefly, with the help of the two emotional words of "meet" and "more value", the poet's pleasure and intoxication in the beautiful scenery in front of him, his comfort and tranquility which are in perfect harmony with the environment, and *

It is the outstanding artistic feature of this poem to control the scenery with emotion and entrust the emotion with the scenery.

In the poem, four scenes from different directions, namely "Beitian", "Gaodong", "Autumn Moon" and "Night Firefly", are selected to embellish the poet's excitement of meeting his friends, but each scene is full of the poet's joyful mood. The first two sentences describe the scene of meeting friends in the joy of full labor, which means to add joy to happiness. The last two sentences write that the weather is sunny, friends get together, and the joy of friends getting together is set off by festive scenes, which makes the poetic realm full of cheerful atmosphere.

The poet doesn't like this word because he is good at mobilizing scenes to set off emotions, but his joy jumps out between the lines.

The language of this poem is unpretentious, fresh and natural, and it is unique in the early Tang Dynasty.
