In early spring, the temperature in the north is still very low, and the south is also raining and snowing. However, the gentle south wind has long been unable to withstand loneliness, and bravely broke through the strict defense of the cruel winter, bringing warmth and vitality to the earth. The snow on the hillside slowly melts, revealing a large area of moss, and more brilliant red plums are blooming proudly, attracting countless tourists to stop and watch and take photos.
In the early spring, the weather was cloudy and uncertain, and Du Zhenyan of the Tang Dynasty once lamented that there were unique eunuchs and was shocked by the new phenology; Yang Juyuan was pleasantly surprised to find that the poet Qingjing was in the new spring, and the green willows were only yellow and half uneven.
It seems that poets, regardless of their mood, can find their own creative inspiration in nature. A poet in later generations enjoyed the beautiful spring scenery, but also quite emotional, the following is shared in the early spring, the Northern Song Dynasty Caizi recited two poems, the mood is comfortable, witty words.
To Sai Taichang Temple, painted with a staff into two pieces (one of which)
Song Dynasty: Liu Xuan
Few idle people visit the lonely, thin clouds and light days and early spring dynasty.
Garden flowers make ruixuan shoots, and when you see the east wind, take advantage of the wicker.
Liu Xuan was a famous Northern Song Dynasty talent, he was born in a family of poetry and etiquette, from an early age diligent and studious, after entering the shi mainly specialized in Han history, and also compiled the "Zizhi Tongjian" with Sima Guang. He was well versed in the history of the scriptures, wrote hundreds of books, and was also good at creating poetry works, but unfortunately many of his works have been lost. These two poems were written in the early spring and express the joy of the author.
Fasting, that is, the ceremony of fasting; Taichang Temple, is the ancient institution in charge of the temple sacrifices. The poet got up early to go to the court, although "thin clouds and light days", the sky was clear, but early in the morning, many people were still sleeping, and there were few pedestrians walking on the road.
The Tang Dynasty poet Dai Shulun once had a poem, "Xuanyuan does not weigh no nameless guests, and here you can still visit loneliness", expressing his loneliness. And Liu Xuan used the word "lonely" to show the quiet atmosphere in the early morning. The earth was still silent, the dew on the blades of grass still crystal clear in the sun, and only occasional chickens and dogs could be heard on the road.
The poet moved his gaze to the ground again, and the flowers in the courtyard were climbing strips and buds, and there were more green grasses and bamboo shoots breaking the ground. The stream outside the courtyard is gushing, and the willows on the banks of the stream look graceful under the breeze of the east wind.
Although the chill is overwhelming, the vast wilderness must also be a thriving scene, with wildflowers blooming and feminine postures, and the hillsides are green and the clouds are vast. Although the poet did not come together, he left a lot of room for the reader's imagination, and also euphemistically conveyed the joy and comfort of the heart.
To Sai Taichang Temple, painted with a staff into two songs (part 2)
The cane vine is pen and sand for paper, and the cursive writing is tried before idly standing in court.
Helplessly, the spring breeze is still constrained, waiting for idle chaos into the clothes.
The spring breeze is gentle, the willow branches by the stream spit out new shoots, the ripples on the surface of the water stir and rise; the sun is warm, the red plums bloom enthusiastically, and the ice and snow melt silently. The poet's mood was uplifted, and the sand in the clearing was also very soft, so Caizi painted the ground with a staff and wrote these two songs of praise for early spring.
In the first two sentences, the place and the creative process are explained, and the poet breaks a cane vine with force, but uses the ground as a canvas, using the vine as a pen and sand as ink, and happily writes a few lines of poetry. The ancients once inscribed poems on autumn leaves and painted on banana leaves. When Ouyang Xiu was very young, his family was poor, and his mother had a sudden idea, using hagi grass instead of brushes and sand as paper, and finally practiced extraordinary kung fu.
Liu Xuan was a minister of the imperial court, of course, there was no shortage of four treasures of the literary room, only because of the inspiration, in order not to let the poems in his mind slip away quietly, so he improvised poetry in the sand, just like the ancients often inscribed poems on the walls.
The last two sentences are intriguing and witty. The poet was concentrating on his creation, but he always felt that something was making trouble, and it turned out that the east wind was blowing his clothes, as if playing with him. The East Wind has no intention and the poet has feelings, just as Li Shangyin's famous sentence, "The East Wind is powerless and a hundred flowers are remnants", all of which personify the scenery, but they are quite interesting.
The poet uses the words "helpless, waiting for idleness" to express a feeling of unity between things and me, which seems unreasonable, but it is very poetic. It seems that Dongfeng is also very humane, seeing that the poet is a single shadow, worried that he is bored, so he also participates in the creative process. The poet clearly says "restraint and chaos", but in fact, the joy in his heart has already overflowed into words!
