The cold winter moon, the rain is long, the grass and trees are withering, the wilderness is depressed, the delicate blooming red plums are also bullied by the wind and rain, and the dry lotus and reeds in the pond are even more desolate. In the harsh winter, the coolest thing is that three or five friends, drink and sing, everyone talks about the past, looks forward to the future, and looks forward to a better life after the spring.
There was a talented man in the Northern Song Dynasty who had such an experience when he was young, who grew up in the countryside, was familiar with farming, and also understood and sympathized with the hardships of the villagers. He once witnessed the scene of the harsh winter in the countryside, and then composed his feelings in the poem, not only describing the image, but also very grounded. The following is a sharing of the Qinguan cold winter outing, leaving an idyllic poem, simple and unpretentious, more intimate.
"Tian Ju Four Songs" the fourth
Northern Song Dynasty: Qin Guan
In the harsh winter, paraquat, neighbors are rich and resting.
When the doi was drawn, the diesel truck stopped for a long time.
The few fields are empty, and the kites are under the heels.
The lonely list is leaning over the pond, and the noise is noisy.
The Tian family is heavy on the gap between the farmers, and the Weng concubines are invited to the other.
Ben sat in the mash, a line of three or four thanks.
The pottery plate is reserved, and the bamboo is shy of chicken moxibustion.
Drinking and fighting for rewards, words or sorrows.
The lights are dim and the wind is blowing.
Guests scattered quiet chai gate, star toad cold night.
Qin Guan was a famous euphemism poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, and many of his works expressed euphemisms, delicately showing inner sorrow and loneliness, and many love words were described in a lingering and compassionate manner, which was touching to read.
However, Caizi also wrote some ancient poems, but compared to his lyrics, the achievements are not very prominent. The poem was written when the poet was young, when he was not yet a career and lived a leisurely life of cultivation and reading in his hometown. The author depicts the winter scene of the countryside and expresses sympathy for the people.
The first eight sentences paint a picture of rural life in winter: the weather is harsh, the grass and trees are withered, but the neighbors have plenty of time to relax. It is rare to see people carrying water to water the ground next to the well platform, because there is no need to cultivate, and the firewood truck has been idle for a long time.
In the empty garden, birds such as crows and sparrows fell to their knees (diǎn diǎn), competing to peck at the grains of the ground, not caring whether there was anyone next to them. The pond is a lonely boat, swaying in the water at will. The noisy sound of rice scooping was constantly heard in the surrounding houses.
The next eight sentences show the joy of the Tian family: during the agricultural leisure time, everyone invites each other's fathers and fellow villagers to their homes. Everyone sat around, drank and chatted, summed up the harvest of the year, and looked forward to the harvest of the coming year. Class sitting, refers to sitting sequentially;
The enthusiastic host presents his best food with a clay plate, "bamboo stick shy chicken moxibustion", which also highlights the unique flavor of the Tian family. Although the brewing in the countryside is not a fine wine, it is also sweet and refreshing, and everyone is staggered and drinks happily. The villagers talked cordially with each other, and the words revealed sincere emotions of either joy or sorrow.
The last two sentences end with a jingyu, which is even more endless. The moon hangs high branches, the night is dark, the lights in the hut gradually dimmed, and the north wind outside the firewood gate is bitingly cold. The guests dispersed slowly, and the host's house was quiet, the stars twinkling in the cold night sky, and they seemed to be whispering excitedly.
Qin Guan must have fully experienced the life of the peasant family, so that he could so delicately depict the vivid picture of the villagers sitting around and drinking. If Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty read such a poem, he would also praise it. If Meng Haoran of the Tang Dynasty could be reborn, he would inevitably praise Shaoyou for being fearful in his future life.
This ancient poem of Qin Guan is rich in imagery and full of poetic feelings. The withered grass, the idle firewood carts, the empty yards, and the lonely boats by the ponds are like static beautiful pictures. And the black kites that want to fall and the noisy sound of scooping rice also have a sense of agility. The villagers were leisurely and self-satisfied, they drank and groaned, until the cold night was bright, and they were not willing to leave.
