Farewell is already an old topic in ancient poetry, and whenever the farewell is mentioned, people always involuntarily think of the willow, which shows the close relationship between the word "willow" and "farewell", which shows its role in the farewell scene.
Then about the custom of folding willows to send farewell, it is said that the earliest can be traced back to the Han Dynasty in China, so the longevity of this custom has made it covered with an ancient cultural atmosphere, and the widespreadness of this custom has also made it deeply embedded in people's hearts.
"Climbing strips fold spring colors, far away in front of the dragon court" "Folding willows, going up the Sui Causeway, climbing strips with memories when sending the king"... The willows in these verses are all about sending off. However, even in poems that do not directly use Yang Liuming into the topic of "farewell", it is indispensable to use Willow to set off the atmosphere: Weicheng is raining and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow-colored.
In this issue, the poem wants to share with you a poem by Yang Juyuan, which is written with Yang Liu as the title of the farewell, which is the most affectionate and moving, and can be called the best work in the farewell poem.
Regardless of fame, aiming to share great beauty; dear officials, let's taste "Folding Willow" together.
Fold the willows
Yang Juyuan
The willows at the water's edge are dusty, and they immediately fold a branch.
Only the spring breeze is the most sympathetic, and the courtesy blows into the hands.
Regarding the poet Yang Juyuan, everyone should know his famous "Early Spring in the East of the City", which also writes about Yang Liu, which can be described as a clear pen and ink and a brisk style. And this poem is also distinctive with a "low" and "melancholy" taste.
This poem is written from the perspective of a person who has traveled far, so in the first sentence, the author opens the door and directly cuts to the object of the inscription: the water's edge willow curved silk; qu, here refers to the wine song, the author uses a metaphor to describe the appearance of the willow.
Seeing this sentence, I feel that it has the same effect as Wang Wei's sentence "Guest House Green Willow Color New", which outlines the picture from the visual aspect, and creates a hazy and beautiful and slightly cool artistic conception through the willow.
Pulling things in the first sentence, laying the atmosphere, and laying the mood is a very typical layout of the Grammatical poem, so from this point of view, the first sentence of the poem is very stable.
Writing about Yang Liu, he must say that he must talk about topics related to Yang Liu, so the cheng sentence is naturally generated: immediately annoy the King to fold a branch; the person who travels far away is riding on a horse, the mood is heavy and can't bear to leave, he asks the friend who sent him off to help him fold a willow in a pleading tone. This is a picture depiction focusing on the characters, with tone and action, and very vividly presents the farewell scene at that time. Although the author does not write the heart of the character, from a "troubled" word, we are enough to appreciate the complex feelings of the protagonist, and also see the importance he attaches to friendship. And a "fold" word not only complements the first sentence, but also expresses the scene, emotion, and topic of "farewell".
To point out emotions, it is necessary to further sublimate emotions: only the spring breeze is the most sympathetic, and the courtesy is blown into the hands; in this rather sad scene, in this particularly melancholy moment, who will really feel the heart of the departed person? There is only the gentle spring breeze.
Why does the author have to write about the spring breeze here? Because the protagonist holds the willow in his hand, and this willow is dancing gently with the blowing of the spring wind. Therefore, he has a unique ingenuity, seeing the scenery regenerate, seeing the scenery moving poetry, with a very clever idea to express this parting of sorrow again, and reflect the deep friendship between friends.
Such a description has both a sense of picture and an artistic appeal, so as not to appear too straightforward and lose its charm. Among them, the author also anthropomorphizes the spring wind, transfers the emotion to the past, connects it with the willow, and lives up the verses; this has played a good role in setting off the atmosphere, sublimating the main idea, stimulating resonance, and stabilizing the framework.
In a poem, one or two sentences can play a finishing role, then the poem will become the object of praise. And Yang Juyuan's "Folding Willow" is to rely on the tension of the last two sentences to win the affirmation of poets and win the pursuit of people. "Only the spring breeze is the most regrettable, and the courtesy is blown to the hands", it was captured at the first reading, which is really a proper and brilliant sentence.
Counting the red dust and how much smell, sentimentality is the most when traveling far; dear officials, after reading this poem, are you also deeply affected? Has it also been powdered with Yang Juyuan? If so, please use your little finger to give him a thumbs up! Thank you.
