Tang poems often describe natural scenes, but they use indirect lyrical means, so that the characters and scenes are harmoniously integrated and unified. The author is also good at using rhetorical techniques such as metaphor and anthropomorphism to achieve the effect of realistic image.
After the harsh winter, it is early spring, with plum blossoms and willow branches sprouting, which makes people full of expectations and reverie. A poet in the Tang Dynasty could not suppress his excitement even more, and he was busy sneaking out to qingqing. The following introduces Du Zhenyan's superb five laws, full of faint sadness, worthy of the first Tang Dynasty masterpiece.
And Jinling Lu Cheng early spring tour
Chu Tang: Du Zhenyan
Unique eunuch tourists, partial shock phenology new.
Yunxia out of the sea dawn, Mei Liu crossed the river in spring.
Lady's breath promotes yellow birds, and the clear light turns to green apples.
Overhearing the ancient tune of the song, I want to dip the towel.
Du Zhenyan was born in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, he was a 25-year-old jinshi and the first, after entering the shi, he served as a county lieutenant and other minor officials, and he did not get promoted for many years, he was 45 years old, he was still serving as a county clerk in Jiangyin County.
Once when he was idle, he went out with his colleague Lu Mou in the yamen to enjoy the scenery, and his colleague gave a poem to praise the beauty of early spring, and the poet also improvised a poem to convey thousands of thoughts in his heart.
Far away from the old garden, and sinking into the subordinates, the poet is often depressed and depressed. In the early spring, everything recovered, and although the poet's mood improved, he was still sad. At the beginning of the chapter, he expressed his chest directly, and the poet said sadly that he was traveling in a different place, alone, and felt very sensitive when his phenology changed slightly.
Nature is varied, and in the spring there are thousands of purples and reds, but the poet not only does not feel joy and excitement, but says "partial shock phenology is new". The reason for this, of course, is that the author is so obsessed with the past that even in the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, he does not have the elation of his colleagues.
Next, the "new" weather in the poet's eyes is specifically described, when the dawn of the seashore first appears, and spring also comes to Jiangyin with the morning sun. The plum blossoms at the water's edge are still blooming, but the willow branches are beginning to sprout new yellow shoots.
A "ferry" character, using anthropomorphic techniques, seems to be Mei Liu taking the initiative to attack, afraid that the spring girl will be late. In the early spring of Jiangnan, Vientiane is renewed, while the north wind and the southwest region should still be cold. At this time, the poet must be thinking of his hometown, or nostalgic for the unforgettable years of his life in the capital.
Compared with the north, Jiangnan is more springy, the sun is shining, and the green ping has spread all over the water. In the spring, the peach and willow are green, and the birds are singing in unison, and after the author has written the flowers and trees, he will naturally continue to depict the birds. The poet still uses anthropomorphism, not saying that the birds are singing, but writing "shuqi yellow birds".
The warm climate is urging the yellow warbler to cry, as if hoping to remind the poet not to indulge in the past again, nor to live up to the good spring light, and to quickly enjoy the beautiful landscape and grass.
The poet's colorful depiction of the beauty of spring scenery is actually to convey his deep homesickness. The last two sentences convey their feelings of hurting spring, "Overhearing the ancient tune of the song, returning to the desire to dip the towel." As the poet listened to the poems recited by his colleagues, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and the hot tears also wet the hem of his clothes.
At this point, the author's homesickness is also vividly displayed, showing the helplessness and misery of a wanderer's heart, which not only echoes the "unique eunuch tourist" in the first sentence, but also lyrically expresses the author's faint sadness, which is really skilled.
Although the rhythm of Du Zhenyan's poem is not very rigorous, and even has the atmosphere of the Six Dynasties, the author is good at grasping the characteristics of the scenery of the early spring eye day, delicately depicting the green plum willow, the chirping birds and finches, and the apple leaves with green light, showing a soothing and peaceful state of mind.
The scenery evokes the poet's feelings of homesickness, and the author encapsulates this feeling in the situation that he wants to make. The subtle euphemism and light sorrow give this poem a gentle style, and it is easy to arouse the reader's life feelings. The author expresses it in a soft and harmonious tune, which makes people feel the abstract emotion behind the poem.
