Famous Teacher Observer Jiang Xian:
Teacher of Jiaxing Nanhu International Experimental School and lover of traditional culture
The famous teacher observer in this issue is Jiang Xian, a Chinese teacher at Jiaxing Nanhu International Experimental School. This handsome homeroom teacher in the eyes of the children is a romantic person at work and in life, and this romance comes from the land he loves. He said that the first time he came to the south lake of Jiaxing to see the small red boat at close range, with the passage of time and the changes of the times, people gave the little red boat a special historical significance, keeping in mind that it is a huge sail carrying the spirit of the Chinese revolution, and the image of the red boat also links the beautiful emotions of initiation, struggle, and dedication.
In this issue, Teacher Jiang will talk to the students about this word - imagery, "like to pin beautiful feelings on objects, which is the romance hidden in the bones of Chinese, and there is no shortage of these beautiful images that contain cultural heritage in traditional classical poetry." "Let's follow him and feel the beauty of the imagery of ancient poetry."
One grass, one tree, one flower, one bird
Both can be imaged
The word "image" as we know it originates from Liu Xun's Wenxin Carved Dragon, but as early as the Spring and Autumn Period's Lao Tzu, there was a discussion of "meaning" and "elephant".
The ancients related and relied on each other to associate and rely on each other, the "intention" that expressed the abstract mind inside and the "image" that depicted the external concrete object. The connection between "intention" and "image" is the connection between "feeling" and "scene", which can be further extended to the relationship between "god" and "form". The methods we commonly use to interpret ancient poetry writing, such as empathizing with scenes and allegorizing to images, are all due to this. Therefore, grasping the imagery in ancient poetry and taking the imagery in ancient poetry as a breakthrough will help us to interpret works and appreciate poetry in multiple dimensions, and further grasp the secret of poetry's inner interest.
In ancient poetry, each image is unique, and each image has its own special charm. The moon in "looking up at the bright moon and looking down at the hometown" represents a faint nostalgia; the snow in "Lonely Boat, Fishing alone in the snow of the Cold River" implies the lonely and noble heart of an old man; the lonely sail in "The lonely sail is far away in the blue sky, only to see the skyline of the Yangtze River", hinting at the lonely and arduous feelings of a person's long voyage... Walking through the forest of ancient poetry, we can feel the different beauty brought by different images all the time.
In our common image groups, a grass and a tree, a flower and a bird are always concerned.
For example, plants can have feelings.
Weeping willow has feelings, "in this nocturne smell the folded willow, who does not afford the old garden", folding the willow regrets not to be homesick; basho has feelings, "Where to synthesize sorrow?" Autumn from the heart. Even if it is banana, it will not rain and flutter", the meaning of loneliness and desolation is gradually thickened; the sycamore has feelings, "the lonely sycamore deep courtyard locks the autumn", and the feeling of loneliness and coldness away from sorrow is suddenly born.
For example, animals can be intentional.
Zi Gui was originally a cuckoo bird, because of its mournful and miserable voice, there was a saying of "cuckoo crying blood"; Li Shangyin's sentence "Zhuang Sheng Xiao dreamed of butterflies, looking forward to the emperor's spring heart to entrust the cuckoo" had countless sorrows and sorrows; Yu Shinan used a sentence "to be high and far away, not to borrow the autumn wind", shaping the cicada into an example of weeping dew and high cleanliness; in Ma Zhiyuan's sentence "The old tree of the dead vines and the crow", the appearance of the crow makes the whole work add a little desolate decay and a sense of exhaustion.
Even clouds, rain, water, Guan Shan, Qiangdi and all other ordinary things can carry the pictures, emotions, and interests that the author wants to pursue and express. "Out of the mud without staining, Mao Qing Lian without demon" links the lotus flower with the gentleman who is high and unworldly, and does not conform to the world; "It is better to eat no meat than to live without bamboo" praises the elegant and noble style of bamboo, not vulgar and not flattering; "Remote knowledge is not snow, for the dark incense comes" to chant out the plum blossom proud frost fighting snow, Ling Han dark incense character; "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the South Mountain" for the chrysanthemum's leisurely life, not seeking glory and profit, not tending to the world.
Why swallows dominate
The C bit in the "circle of imagery"
And my favorite image is the swallow. As a migratory bird, the swallows come from autumn to spring, trekking and migrating with the seasons, and going in pairs to build nests under the eaves of people's houses. People give rich meaning to the swallow, making the swallow a "star" in ancient poetry.
"When the swallow comes to Xinshe, the pear blossoms lag behind the Qingming", Yan Shu praises the swallow as the happy bird of primrose and the messenger of spring in "Broken Line", and conveys the feelings of infinite spring light and welcoming spring and cherishing spring; "Yan'er newly married, like a brother like a brother" and "Yan Yan yu fei, poor pond and its feathers" are famous sentences in the "Book of Poetry", here the swallow has become a symbol of love with its snuggling and double entry pair, revealing the beauty of love; in the familiar "In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people" and "helpless flowers fell, In "The Return of the Déjà vu Swallow", the poet invariably grasps the characteristics of the swallow's attachment to the old nest, and uses this as a basis to express the passage of time and the changes in the world, and to distribute the feelings of the prosperity and decline of the past and the destruction of the country and the death of the family; more Su Shi wrote in "Sending Chen Mu Zhi Tan Zhou" that "it is like Sheyan and Qiu Hong, they meet and send each other unsteadily", showing the sorrow of life and the pain of wandering. You see, in ancient poetry, the "star" of the swallow has become a representative of multiple emotions, standing firm in its position in the "circle of imagery".
As the carrier of aesthetics and feelings, poetic imagery not only objectively reflects the inner world of the poet, but also shows the story to be narrated by the poem in front of us little by little. Throughout the ages, there has always been a saying that "poetry and painting are one". The so-called "painting in poetry, poetry in painting" is a poetic mood created by the interweaving of visual imagery and written language. For example, some of the illustrations in our common textbooks are all used by posterity to interpret poetic imagery and convey poetic meaning through re-understanding and re-creation in order to serve the text content of ancient poetry.
The immigrants of different eras have never lacked imagination and creativity, they have done everything in their power to try to better show the pictures in ancient poetry in front of our eyes, project written words onto the visual, and use visual art forms to express poetic imagery, so that we can better wander through it. But it is always because of the objective factors of technical means that they are superficial and difficult to come out of.
At this stage, now students come into contact with the form and opportunity of traditional Chinese ancient poetry, with the breakthrough of science and technology, a large number of new technologies, new means, new media appear, we can through calligraphy and painting, animation, video, audio, etc. to redefine ancient poetry, deconstruct the imagery, with the power of science and technology to lift poetry, so that ancient poetry "fly" out of the paper, in a variety of forms, a variety of ways, a variety of ways to express the connotation of poetic imagery.
"Rain is like smoke in the sound of sub-rules", classical poetry is inseparable from various images, and many complex emotions are pinned on the imagery to be improved. The so-called natural carvings, cleverness, and images filled with the author's inner rich experience can often resonate with us. Walking through the imagery of classical poetry is not only the enjoyment of beauty, but also the need for us to spread and develop.
