Poetry creation pays attention to the beginning and the end, but it is not appropriate to stick to the rules, but should be actively changed. For example, the same is the writing scene, some works are depicted throughout the scene, without the slightest emotional sustenance, making people taste like chewing wax. Some works are too straightforward, and the emotional expression lacks subtlety and cannot resonate with the reader.
Li Shang was hidden in the era of the Decline of the Li Tang Dynasty and social turmoil, and he was once again caught in the Niu-Li Party Struggle, so his works were obscure and extremely emotional. At the same time, the author also actively explores the rules of poetry creation, which is rich in changes in inheritance. The following introduces One of Li Shangyin's Seven Laws, with exquisite layout, the more you read it, the more flavorful it becomes.
February 2
Tang Dynasty: Li Shangyin
On February 2, the river rises, and the east wind is warm and blowing.
Flower whiskers and willow eyes are rogue, and purple butterflies and wasps are affectionate.
Wanli recalls returning to Yuan Liangjing and engaging in the Yafu camp for three years.
The new beach is not enlightened to tourists, and the sound of rain at night is more styled.
Li Shangyin was an outstanding poet of the late Tang Dynasty, and his works were well-known and passed down through the ages, but Yishan was a genius who was betrayed by the times and a poet with deep feelings flowing from the tip of his pen. His untitled poems are touching, and his epic poems are insightful, and people can't get tired of reading and loving them.
However, such an epoch-making poet has a bad fate, and he has been wandering in the wind and rain for half his life. In the ninth year of Emperor Xuanzong's junior high school, Li Shangyin had no choice but to leave his hometown in order to make a living, and came to Dongchuan Jiedu to make Liu Zhongyin's post. In February, when the spring is in full swing, the poet occasionally swims on the river and writes this poem.
The first four sentences of the poem describe the rich spring scenery, spring warm blossoms, peach and plum white, melodious music, birds and flowers. The flower buds are like whiskers, willow buds are like eyes, showing grace and diversity, and purple butterflies and wasps are circling and flying, which is quite affectionate.
In just a few sentences, the author superimposes images such as the east wind, the warm sun, flower buds, willow buds, as well as purple butterflies and wasps, and vividly shows the beautiful scene of early spring. "Rogue, sentient", is even more carefully tempered, expressing the vitality, colorfulness of all things in nature, and full of joy to announce the arrival of spring. But the poet renders the spring scene so intensely, in fact, it is all about preparing for the following.
The neck link changes abruptly, from writing scenes to narratives, and the poet lives thousands of miles away, often thinking of returning to his hometown; the life under the fence has been three years. Yuanliang is a character for Tao Yuanming in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the author uses Yuanliangjing to refer to the old garden; and also uses the camp of Zhou Yafu in the Western Han Dynasty, which is called liu Zhongying's shogunate.
The author writes here that the scene is interrupted, ostensibly not connected with the first four sentences, but in fact, the peaks are broken and connected. The first half of the poem is picturesque and extremely colorful, just to force out the emotions of return, but it makes people unconscious.
Yishan is on this occasion for the festival, and occasionally makes a trip to the river, but what he hears and witnesses is the beautiful scenery of the spring when the sun is warm and blossoming, and the sad mood of the distant guests who miss home is contradictory. The first sentence points out "February 2nd", which inevitably causes the feeling of being alone in a foreign land and thinking of relatives during the festival; during walking, you can hear the sound of blowing sheng, the wind blows warmly, the sound is quite beautiful, but it is incompatible with the sorrow in your heart!
Flowers and willow eyes, gestures to send affection, purple butterflies and wasps, wearing flowers and willows, everything is spring, but the poet is sad and unbearable. In this way, the thoughts and feelings of thousands of miles of remembrance and three years of wandering are born.
The tail link undertakes the jaw link, ending with the writing scene, "The new beach is not enlightened to tourists, and the sound of the night rain is more styled." A "enlightenment" word, delicate and subtle, the poet left home thousands of miles, and did not return for three years, this trip to the river, originally wanted to take this to relieve sorrow, but the beautiful scenery of the spring stirred in front, the sound of the river beach does not understand the poet's heart sorrow, the evening issued as if the sound of wind and rain between the eaves, more people add to the sadness.
The last two sentences are vivid and rich in meaning, which not only evoke the poet's memories of being a guest for three years, but also express the poet's inner desolation. The poet did not sink in the harsh environment, and did not want to self-destruct, but used poetry to express the dreams in his heart, even if he sometimes looked at the end of the world and was extremely sad in his heart, but those withered flowers and the silent bright moon knew his enthusiasm and persistence.
Li Shangyin's poem has a unique layout, the first four sentences and the tail link are all written scenes, but the middle is interspersed with two narratives, but it shows the magic of the intermittent article. The author first writes mourning in a happy state, and then writes mourning in a happy state, and writes that the situation is full of changes.
If you replace the neck link with "the beautiful scenery is like a painting, the hometown dream is difficult to achieve", although there is no problem with flatness and rhyme, and it can also inherit the past and the future, but the artistic conception is very different and becomes tasteless. It can be seen that Yishan is proficient in the method of composing poetry, and this poem is also worthy of people's repeated play!
