In winter, whenever the sky is yellow, gloomy and about to snow, the mood is always a little heavy. But if you are idle at home at this time, when you are roasting together in the hearth, in stark contrast to the cold outside the window, another feeling will emerge.
Whenever this happens, modern people will say that snow and hot pot are the best match, but for the ancients, there is only the aroma of wine.
Even if there are many poems in Tang poems describing the upcoming snow and snow scenes, such as Gao Shi's "Thousand Miles of Yellow Clouds and White Sun, The North Wind Blows Wild Geese and Snow", Li Bai's "Yellow Clouds Move wind colors, white waves nine streams of snowy mountains", as well as Zhang Ji's "On the Bamboo in the Slanting Sun, In the Mountains where the Snow Is Chaotic", and Liu Changqing's "Chai Men Smell Dogs Barking, Wind and Snow Return to People at Night", and so on, there are many to list. However, in the view of Wen Shijun, the most situational and most worthy of the night, the poem that the snow is coming, is Bai Juyi's "Ask Liu Nineteen".
Don Bai Juyi, "Ask Liu Nineteen"
Green ant new wine, red clay small stove. Late to the day want snow, can you drink a cup of nothing?
Bai Juyi's poems have always been easy to understand, and it is said that during the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi would show it to the old lady in the village every time he finished writing his work. If there are words and sentences that the old woman can't understand, he will make adjustments until even the old man can read them, and he is satisfied.
The same is true of this poem. The literal meaning of the poem is to say:
This year's newly brewed rice wine has not yet been filtered, and the surface is glowing with faint green bubbles, which is very fresh and fragrant. At this time, the sky outside the window was dark yellow, and there should be a heavy snow at night. The small stove in the house, which is made of red mud, is burning warmly, and it is good to drink a cup of warm wine. Distant old friend Liu Nineteen, let's have a drink together at night, right?
On the surface, this poem is about to fall in the winter, and The snow white Juyi asks Liu Nineteen to drink, but in fact it is a nostalgic poem that misses his former friend. The poem was written in the later years of Bai Juyi, who lived in seclusion in Luoyang, and Liu Nineteen was a friend of Bai Juyi when he went to Jiangzhou.
There are only two crosses in the whole poem, no far-reaching sustenance, no flowery words, but the words are filled with warm and cheerful tones and warm and fiery friendship, showing a warm and spring-like poetry.
At the same time, the poem is also very cleverly designed. The three images presented in the poem, New Wine, Stove and Twilight Snow, give people a very good mood and emotion. It seems to be handy, but it is just right. This is also the root of this poem's most praised.
"Green ant new wine", straight to the point to order out the new wine, because the new wine floats a lot of small foam, as small as ants, so called "green ants". The first sentence uses the newly cooked light green and turbid rough of the house wine, which is very easy to cause associations, making people feel fragrant, sweet and delicious.
The second sentence, "Red Clay Small Stove", plays a role in rendering colors and setting off the atmosphere in the drinking environment. The two extremely generative and suggestive images of "house wine" and "small stove" easily evoke the reader's association with the simple and authentic rural life.
The last two sentences: "Late to the day want snow, can you drink a cup of nothing?" The arrangement of the image of "snow" is very clever, and the snow gives people a cold and cold that penetrates the skin, and the more so, the more it reflects the blazing heat of the furnace and the preciousness of friendship.
In particular, "can drink a cup of nothing", whispering softly, asking cold and warm, close to the heart, overflowing with true feelings. Ending the poem with such a colloquial language not only increases the charm of the whole poem, but also makes it have the beauty of ethereal swaying,
In addition, this small poem is also very distinctive in the configuration of color, fresh and simple, warm and bright, giving readers a sense of immersion and pleasantness. Bai Juyi sketches a warm and sweet realm through the laying out of simple and simple images. It has the same artistic height as the aesthetic artistic conception of "dead vines, old trees, crows, small bridges, flowing water, and people' homes" of the Yuan Dynasty.
For thousands of years, almost no one in the poems about snow and wine has surpassed Bai Juyi's "Ask Liu Nineteen". The seemingly simple and simple 20 words are most appropriately integrated into the deep emotions of winter, heavy snow, drinking, and nostalgia.
Therefore, some people say that these 20 words have soothed the world's beautiful sustenance for more than 1,000 years.
If you have to find a poem similar to it, Wen Shijun first recommends Du Mu's "Drinking Alone".
Don Du Mu "Drinking Alone"
There is snow and wind outside the window, and the stove opens the wine tank. How to fish for boat rain, sleep on the bottom of the canopy autumn river.
Du Mu's poems are known for their freshness and magnificence, and the artistic conception of this poem is also very beautiful. The wind and snow outside the window are tight, and the wine in the house is warm. This warm scene is as beautiful as the autumn weather is dull, sleeping in a fishing boat and listening to the rain.
I have to say that Du Mu's works are still very good. However, he only describes the comfort of his own drinking alone, and compared with Bai Juyi's fiery Huaisi friends, the intention of the poem alone is much inferior.
