The author Tan Yuanchun is a Ming Dynasty literary scholar, character youxia, Hubei Tianmen people. He is one of the representative writers of the Jingling school, literary advocates emphasizing sexual spirit, opposing imitation of the ancient, and advocating a deep and lonely style, including the "Tan Youxia Collection".
This poem is written by travelers traveling in a boat on the river, hearing the bells from the shore, not feeling sad, and feeling it.
The opening sentence "The willow does not cover the bright moon and sorrow", write about the scenery on the river. By the river, the willows are leaning; the sky, the bright moon is wandering. The moon and the willow are both images of parting ways in ancient poetry.
Tan Yuanchun's poem "Boat Smell"
In the song dynasty lyricist Liu Yong's "Raining Bells", he used "where the wine wakes up this time, The willow bank, the wind and the moon", to describe the sadness of the recruiters on the journey. Tan Yuanchun's poem is composed of the verses of Liu Yong, but it is also innovative, a "sad" word, anthropomorphizing the bright moon.
"Willow does not cover" highlights the heaviness and depth of sorrow, and it seems that the willow cannot cover the melancholy face of the bright moon. In fact, "bright moon sorrow" is the traveler's sorrow, the traveler's end of the world is floating, seeing the moon is sad, so I feel that the moon is also worried, which is a kind of empathy.
"Tan Yuanchun Collection"
"Do your best to make the river color and light boat", which means that sailing on the water by boat, what you can see is nothing more than a river view, and you are accompanied by smoke and waves all day long, which is very boring and boring.
This verse reveals the poet's loneliness. Among them, the "river color" is a fiction, but it is matched with the real scene of the previous sentence, constituting a kind of water and moon reflection, a poignant and desolate mood, which well sets off the author's melancholy.
"The far bell crossing the water is like wet", is the use of synaesthesia, imagining the bell being wet by the waves, it sounds particularly heavy and extra slow.
This is when the poet is lonely and unbearable, and suddenly hears the bell on the shore, which for him is nothing less than the sound of the empty valley foot, it sounds very intimate, and it feels so far away, which reveals the boredom of water life and gives the reader a sense of depression.
"It is autumn when you come to your ear", this last sentence, closely following the previous sentence, uses exaggerated techniques to say that the bell is slow, and at the same time, writes out the feelings about the change of seasons.
History of the Development of Poetry in the Ming Dynasty
The author lived in the boat for many days, as if he were far away from the world and forgot the seasons. Suddenly I heard the bells on the shore, looked for the sound and looked into the distance, only to see a desolate autumn scene between heaven and earth.
Autumn is a sentimental season, and in this season, it is easier to touch the sad intestines by leaving home and drifting with the waves.
This poem is short and condensed, deep and timeless. The poet chooses multiple images that can best express parting feelings, skillfully combines them, and mobilizes novel imaginations, using exaggeration, anthropomorphism, synaesthesia, empathy and other techniques to create an artistic conception with sound and color and blending scenes. Although the poem uses the verses of its predecessors, it can be innovative, and its appeal is very strong.
