Good thing near
◎ Yang Wanli
Before the month arrives at Makoto (1), first to the Valley of the Mansa river (2). It is not a sincere fast, but a bamboo cultivation in a separate court.
It is only thirteen nights now, and the moon is like jade. Not the autumn light is amazing, see fifteen sixteen (3).
【Notes】
(1) Chengzhai ( 诚斋): The author calls himself Chengzhai ( 诚斋 ) , which is also the name of the author 's study. The "History of Song" says: Yang Wanli "adjusted Yongzhou Lingling Cheng, When Zhang Junyong, Dumen Xieke, Wanli Three Can't See, First Seen in Books." Jun Mian learned with sincerity and sincerity, and obeyed his teachings for life, which is called the "sincere fast" of the reading room." (2) Wanhua River Valley: The name of a garden not far from Makoto. (3) Fifteen sixteen: refers to the fifteen sixteenth moon.
【Translation】
The moon has not yet arrived at Makoto, first to the Valley of the Wanhua River. It is not that there is no bright moon hanging high above Makoto, but that the moonlight is blocked by a court of bamboo.
It is now the night of the thirteenth day, and the moon is already like jade. (Tonight) is not the most beautiful time of autumn, (to enjoy the wonderful moon) will have to wait until the night of the fifteenth and sixteenth.
【Appreciation】
This is a poem describing the color of the moon, and the words are full of the lyricist's love for life.
The reason why the lyricist of the film climbed the Wanhua River Valley to look at the moon. "Before the moon arrives at Chengzhai, first go to the Wanhua Chuan Valley", "Chengzhai" is the name of Yang Wanli's study in Jishui's hometown in Jiangxi; "Wanhua chuangu" is the name of a flower garden not far from "Chengzhai". In the imagination of the lyricist, the bright moonlight has not yet shone into his study, but it has first illuminated the Valley of the Kaleidoscope River, anthropomorphizing the moonlight and making itself new.
"It is not a sincere fast without a moon, and the bamboo is repaired in a garden", the lyricist opened a stroke here, did not continue to write about the moonlight of the Wanhua River Valley, but instead explained why he went to the Wanhua River Valley to admire the moon. It turned out that in front of his study there was a dense bamboo forest, obscuring the moonlight.
In the next four sentences, the moonlight is described. "Now it is only thirteen nights, and the moon is like jade", the lyricist compares the moon color to jade, vividly depicting the clarity and clarity of the moon. Through the continuous rendering of the film, it has aroused people's desire for the moon of Kawatani, seeing that the laying of the mat has been completed, the lyricist grasps the moon color and makes a meticulous imitation, and the rich charm is endless.
"Not the autumn light is amazing, look at the fifteenth and sixteenth", the last two sentences of the pen suddenly turned, introducing a new realm: this jade color is not the most amazing autumn light, and the coming fifteenth and sixteenth are the best moments to appreciate the moon. "Not yet" split the face, turning the previous climax into a peak valley. Just two sentences actually set off such a wave, which is really ups and downs, and the magic is endless.
