Farewell friends in spring night
one
A silver candle smokes (1), and a golden urn feasts easily (2).
Think about the piano when you leave the hall, don't take the road around mountains and rivers.
The bright moon hides tall trees, but the long river doesn't know (4).
Dragon Luoyang Road [5], when will this meeting be held?
Secondly,
Ziyun breaks [6], and the bright moon rises in youth [6].
It was a pleasant evening, and I was worried.
Cold flowers are full of dew and dripping eaves are empty.
If you want to give me something, I want to give you a priest's book. [ 1]
Appreciation editor of works
This group of parting works was written from the banquet scene in front of us. At the beginning of the last poem, I wrote that the farewell banquet was coming to an end, and the mood and silence of parting were imminent. The author grasps the psychological state of this moment as the starting point of poetry, and goes straight into the emotional climax naturally, with deep feelings. "Silver candle spits smoke" with the word "spit", which makes people want to see the expression of being relatively silent and listless, just staring at the smoke of silver candle. The word "Golden Zun is aligned with Yan" is used, which means that in the face of Chinese banquets, there is nothing to comfort except the idea that Golden Zun "advises you to make more wine". In this realm, in silence, we can see the depth of other meanings. The first couplet is in the form of antithesis. "Green" and "Qi" are both green. Zhuan Xu wrote: "Go out of the hall and think about the piano, don't take the mountains and rivers." When I left the hall, my arm hurt my piano and I didn't feel lingering. "Hare" refers to the harmony of phonology when playing stringed instruments to compare the depth of friendship. "Mountains and rivers" means a long way to go, and it is the antithesis of "Qin and Se". In contrast, it can't help but make people feel inner waves: "going out of the hall" hurts "the piano"; "Don't take the road" is far away, and I hate "mountains and rivers". These two sentences deliberately wrote the lingering feelings of parting, which made people sad. Necklace couplet "The moon hides high trees, and the long river doesn't know the sky" inherits what I saw when I broke my arm. From indoor to outdoor, writing time drives people away mercilessly, and seeing the truth in silence. At this time, the high shadow covered the low moon in the west, and the long river was submerged in the morning light. There is a word "hide" and a word "no" here, indicating that time urges people to leave, and the time for parting has finally arrived. At the end of the two sentences, I ended with the question "When was this meeting held in Luoyang Road?". I wrote that I watched my friends go to the ancient road, and my heart was full of sadness. The author watched my friends wandering along this endless Luoyang ancient road, and couldn't help feeling that I didn't know when I would meet again. There is a word "harmony" at the end of the sentence, which emphasizes that it will be difficult after the meeting, revealing the faint sadness between people. This ending, sincere feelings, simple language, with gloomy and heavy beauty.
Although the first poem is about prospects and feelings, it is inherited and used for reference. It has been pointed out that this poem is "detached from Xiao Xie's Night of Parting." Parting Night is Xie Tiao's Parting Night and Jiang Chang, and it is also a banquet. Comparing the two, we can see that Chen's poems are obviously influenced by Xie's poems in creation and language. But Chen Ziang did not simply imitate his predecessors, but made some innovations. Xie's poems are straightforward and concise, while Chen's poems are tactful and delicate. Structurally, he is better at carefully arranging twists and turns. In the arrangement of feelings and scenery, he first wrote the prosperity of the banquet with beautiful brushstrokes, then conveyed the sadness of parting with graceful brushstrokes, then set off the long banquet and friendship with a grand time and space background, and finally ended the whole article with a vision of the journey, with distinct levels.
The second poem continues to describe the scene at the banquet. The poet confided his heart to his friends, saying that this trip was a letter to the imperial court to discuss politics and pour out his great wish to make contributions to the country.
At the beginning of the latter poem, the words "Ziyun is broken, the bright moon is at the beginning of youth" are used to write the scenery, while the first sentence is used to write the prospect of the journey, which is empty; Writing the scene in front of you in the last sentence is the real writing. This couplet is antithetical in form, which not only points out the "spring night" of the poem, but also shows a lofty feeling. Then the sentence "I am worried about this night" means that although I am in a beautiful scene, everything becomes gloomy in this scene full of parting feelings, and I use the contrast method of sadness and joy scenes. The five or six sentences "cold flowers are full of dew, dripping water and empty eaves" render the desolation of parting. These two sentences are similar to the first five or six sentences in artistic conception and contain feelings in the scenery. From the description of the scenery, we can see the psychology of the characters and express the deep affection of friends. In the last two sentences, the author proudly announced to his friend: "What do you want to do with you? I am willing to go to the book. " It shows that the author's visit is not for other reasons, but for his career. Therefore, he has no worldly gifts for his friends, and only hopes that they can understand and support his trip. It is precisely because of this ideological basis that this poem is slightly sentimental, but its tone is high and bright, and it will not give people any feeling of low sadness.
This group of poems brought a touch of sadness because they repeatedly played up the feelings of parting, but the author did not apply the sad sentence of sigh, but saw deep feelings in silence. To achieve this state, it should be tepid. Fire is too sad and shallow; "Wen" lacks meaning and feelings. Poetry is written calmly and appropriately, just like the sound of pipa strings, with elegant weather, no sorrow, but deep affection.
The language of these two poems is fluent and beautiful. Except that the opening couplets are properly selected for the needs of scene description, the other words are plain and natural without any decoration. What he pursues is the profundity and elegance of the whole poem. A Qing poet Ji Yun put it well: "This kind of poem is full of flavor between the bones and muscles of God. If it is opened sentence by sentence, it is not good. If you copy its tone, it will also fail. " The scene of the whole poem is integrated into one, and the feelings are naturally revealed from the beautiful image description, which is better than the general parting work. [3] [4]
