Poetry critic Mr. Li Yuanluo has a very insightful comment on Zhang Wei's "Tongwang Zhengjun's Hunan". Posted below.
But this comment does not answer the question about the tail couplet. The last couplet, which does not seem to have much depth, expresses the memory of friends far away in the capital. But the word "man" in it is quite thought-provoking. If you replace it with the word "far", it becomes more straightforward.
According to Mr. Li's comment, "Jingluoman" echoes "Northern Water". There are two explanations: the autumn water flowing northward expresses the author's longing; or, friends gather in Jingluo following the autumn water flowing northward. I prefer the latter explanation, because there is also the last sentence "When will we travel together again", which is obviously looking forward to getting together with old friends.
Therefore, the last couplet still expresses the longing for friends far away in Jingluo.
Tong Wang Zhengjun is pregnant with Hunan
Tang Zhang Wei
In August in Dongting Autumn, the Xiaoxiang River flows north.
The dream of returning home thousands of miles away, the sorrow of being a guest at midnight.
There is no need to open a book, it is better to go to a restaurant.
My old friend Jingluoman, when will we travel together again?
Zhang Wei's poems are not deliberately composed and are often as plain as words. However, the emotions are sincere and natural. For example, this poem has a kind of beauty with light makeup.
The opening couplet immediately captures the meaning of the title. "Dongting Autumn in August" refers to the rise of scenery, focusing on pointing out the time; "Xiaoxiang River flows north" describes the spatial scenery seen in front of us. There are no shocking words on the surface, but it contains rich emotional connotations: Autumn is originally It is a season that makes people feel sentimental, let alone a poet whose hometown is in the north facing the Dongting Autumn? The Xiangjiang River going north is an objective natural phenomenon, but how could the sentimental poet not think that he was worse than the river and stayed in the south for a long time? Therefore, these two sentences describe scenery and are also lyrical, triggering the following meaning of nostalgia. The couplet expresses one's feelings directly without any refinement, yet the interaction between time and space is neat and natural. "Dream of Ten Thousand Miles" refers to the space, the soul flies thousands of miles, and it expresses the remoteness of hometown and the country. This is actual writing. The neck couplet is divided into two strokes, using a mixed sentence pattern to further express one's sadness: It is no longer possible to masturbate by opening the book you love to read. Can you forget your worries by going to a restaurant and getting drunk? The poet did not express these meanings clearly, but they made people perceive them beyond the words. At the same time, the poet uses empty words with negative and positive meanings such as "not used" and "preferred" in succession, which not only makes the expression of human feelings more profound and graceful, but also makes the opening and closing of the chapter fluctuate, making the syntax flow cleverly . When you go up to the restaurant to drink wine, you should be surrounded by friends. However, now it is the poet who drinks alone. Even if he "goes to the restaurant", he cannot escape the feeling of loneliness at the end of the world, nor can he end the word "sorrow". As a result, Lia Lian forced out the righteous intention of "being pregnant" and wrote down his sadness thoroughly. In terms of composition, "Jingluo Man" and "Shui Beiliu" correspond to each other, and "traveling together" corresponds to "being a guest". The beginning and end are connected and the structure is dense. Judging from the whole poem, there are no fancy words or excessive exaggeration. When written, everything becomes a wonderful truth, flowing water and clouds, leisurely and meaningful.
The beauty of light makeup is a kind of poetic beauty. There is profoundness in simplicity, and elegance in simplicity. Although it is not necessarily the ultimate in poetic beauty, it is a state of beauty that is not easy to achieve. Therefore, Mei Shengyu said: "There is no ancient or modern poetry, but it is difficult to create plainness. "("Reading Shao Buyi's Poetry Volume") Sweep away the greasy powder to reveal the character, fade away the red clothes and learn to light makeup, elegance and elegance have the character, and plainness reveals the charm. Zhang said that this poem is a successful work in this aspect.
