Meteorology has a great influence on literature, and there is no doubt that in the source of mainland literature, "Book of Poetry" and "Chu Ci", atmospheric phenomena and plant and animal phenology are common mediums of expression and satisfaction, "In the past, I was in the past, Andyyy, Willow Yiyi." Now I come to think, rain and snow, "wind and fluttering wood XiaoXiao, thinking of the prince and the disciples away from worry", etc., forming a lyrical writing mode that borrows natural scenery scenes.
The particularity of Chinese meteorological literature is closely related to the changeable meteorological environment such as monsoon in the mid-latitude zone. Most of the continent is significantly affected by the monsoon, and the climate is distinct in four seasons. The cyclical change of seasons has aroused a strong physical and mental feeling of the literati, and spring, summer, autumn and winter have become important themes. Lu Ji "obeyed the four hours with a sigh, looking at all things and thinking about all things." Sad leaves fall in the autumn, joy and soft strips in the spring", Zhong Rong "if it is the spring wind spring bird, autumn moon autumn cicada, summer cloud summer rain, winter moon Qi Han, Si Si Hou sense of the poets also", do not show the relationship between poetry and the season, full of the beauty of the four seasons. The industrious farming people have formed a deep affection for spring and autumn in the production rhythms of spring ploughing, summer cultivation, autumn harvest and winter Tibet. Compared with the heat of summer and the cold of winter, the climate in spring and autumn is pleasant, people's willingness to get close to nature is relatively strong, and observation and feeling are more delicate and deep. Therefore, in the theme of the four seasons, there are many works depicting spring and autumn.
Spring is the first season of the year, and people generally love spring throughout the year. In people's minds, spring is warmth, growth, and hope. In the Book of Poetry, "Spring is late, HuiMu Is long", Xie Lingyun's "Spring grass grows in the pond, and the willows in the garden become songbirds", Du Fu's "Two yellow orioles singing green willows, a line of egrets on the blue sky", Du Mu's "Thousand Miles of Warblers CryIng Green and Red, Water Village Mountain GuoJiu Banner Wind", Su Shi's "Three or Two Branches of Peach Blossoms Outside the Bamboo, Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet", Gao Ding's "Grass Long Warblers Flying february days, Blowing Willows Drunk Spring Smoke", Cao Xueqin's "A Spring Leek Green, Ten Mile Rice Flower Fragrance", depicting a fresh and vigorous spring weather with vivid and colorful phenology.
The warm blossoms of spring arouse the poet's surprise and emotion for the beginning of life, and the phenological scene of spring and summer and the flowers falling triggers the poet's nostalgia for time. Jiang Zong's "Plum blossoms and willow colors are difficult to spring, love comes and goes in the spring", Du Mu's "Flowers bloom and fall, the seasons secretly move", Li Yu's "Lin Flowers thank the spring red, too hurried", Yan Shu's "Helpless flowers fall, déjà vu swallows return", Su Shi's "Spring supper moment is worth a thousand gold, the flowers have a fragrance and the moon has yin", Xin Renjie's "Cherish spring is afraid of flowers blooming early, let alone fall red countless", Han Yi's "Azalea cries flowers like rain, white hair hurts spring for another year", Cao Xueqin's "The three spring scenery is not long, and the dress is changed to the makeup of the past", They all compare spring to precious years, and they convey the feeling of regret in the blossoming and falling of flowers and the return of spring to the death of spring.
Spring is also often used in literary works to symbolize beautiful love or friendship, and the "there is a woman who carries spring, and the Ji shi seduces" in the Book of Poetry opens this tradition of creation. Lu Kai's "Jiangnan has nothing, talk about giving a branch of spring", Wang Wei's "Red beans are born in the southern country, spring comes to send a few branches", Li Shangyin's "Spring heart is not a common flower, an inch of acacia is ashes", Jiang Kui's "The night is long and the night is thin, and the early spring is dyed by acacia", Fan Chengda's "The flowers of the previous year bloomed to remember Xiangshui, and this year's flowers bloomed like tears", Gao Qi's "A trace of sorrow and willow, when it rains in the south of the river", Wu Weiye's "Swallows are ruthless, flowers fall and hate, and one day is haggard", then the thoughts of the homeland, the thoughts of relatives and friends, The couple's thoughts are pinned on the flowers and swallows of spring, which arouses the reader's strong resonance and imagination.
"Planting one grain of millet in the spring, harvesting ten thousand seeds in the autumn", in the sense of agriculture, autumn and spring are equally important. For farming peoples, the autumn harvest is particularly joyful. In literary works throughout the ages, the theme of autumn is often related to harvest and reward, and in the Book of Poetry, there are "peeling dates in August, harvesting rice in October" and "abundant and abundant... In the description of "wine is liquor, 畀祖妣", people make good wine from harvest rice and rice to sacrifice to their ancestors, thanking their ancestors for their blessings. The mainland is an ancient agricultural country, and the talents of the five grains and abundances are Kangfu, Guotai Min'an, and the autumn harvest and autumn harvest are the songs that all literati are happy to describe. Wan Chu's "Tian Jia Xi Qiu Ripe, Years Yan Lin Leaves Thin", Yan Shu's "Xi Qiu Cheng." See thousands of households Le Shengping", Lu You's "many crops like clouds to connect a hundred cities, village drum music Sai Xicheng", "August summer retreat cool breeze, the sound of rice in the family farm", Dai Biaoyuan's "seven miles of yellow mud mangrove gang, west wind fruit ripe a village incense", etc., also convey to people the beautiful hope of sweet rice.
In the sense of climate, autumn and spring are the opposite, most places on the mainland the weather become cooler, grass and trees wither, animal migration, phenology from prosperity to decline, from dynamic to static changes on people's psychology is also very deep, it is easy to produce negative emotions, literary creation also reflects a different tone from spring. The "Miserable Autumn Day, Hundred Hui Fei" in the Book of Poetry connects autumn scenery with sad emotions, and opens up the tradition of sad autumn in Chinese literary creation. Qu Yuan's "Yuanyuan Xi Autumn Wind, Dongting Wave Under the Leaves of The Wood", Song Yu's "Sorrow, Autumn is Qi also!" The grass and trees of Xiao Ser fell and decayed", closely following the way the "Book of Poetry" was written in autumn, which had a profound impact on the literature of later generations. Du Fu's "Thousands of Miles of Sorrow in Autumn Are Often Guests, more than a hundred years of illness alone on stage", Lu You's "Clothes and pestles look at each other in the deep alleys and moons, wells and tongs fall in the autumn of the old garden", Wu Wenying's "Where to synthesize sorrows, away from people's hearts in autumn", Tang Yin's "How many heavens have not returned to guests, borrowing people to fall to see the autumn wind", etc., are also representative poems of sad autumn literature.
Zhang Chao's "Shadow of Dreams" Yun: "The body of poetry, it is better to get autumn qi; The body of the song is better to get the spring. "Freedom of songwriting, such as the weather of spring, the style of agility; Poetic prose should be serious, like the autumn weather, with a calm style. This classic literary review represents the different understandings of spring and autumn in traditional theories, and also reflects the importance of spring and autumn in people's minds.
Affected by the monsoon climate, the two atmospheric phenomena of "wind" and "rain" have a relatively large impact on the mainland, and also have a significant impact on traditional literary descriptions and aesthetic methods.
The Tang Dynasty poet Xu Hun climbed the xianyang ancient city tower and was attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him, improvising "The East Building of Xianyang City", which has the verse "The creek and clouds rise at the beginning of the sun sinking the pavilion, and the mountain rain wants to come to the wind and fill the building". Although the poet knows from his life experience that the wind of the full building is a precursor to the coming of mountain rain, it is indeed in line with the actual situation of the continental climate and meteorology. Due to the influence of seasonal, environmental, psychological and other factors, in literary works, some "winds" make people feel warm, such as Li Bai's "East wind sprinkles rain and dew, will enter the spring of heaven and earth", Zhinan's "wet apricot blossom rain, blowing noodles are not cold willow wind"; Some make people feel refreshed, such as Gao Biao's "crystal curtain moving breeze, full of roses and a courtyard of incense"; Some are sad, such as Li Qingzhao's "Mo Dao does not extinguish the soul, the curtain rolls in the west wind, people are thinner than yellow flowers", Naran Sexde's "If life is only like the first sight, what is the autumn wind sad painting fan"; Some are frightening, such as Du Fu's "August Autumn High Wind Fury, Rolling Triple Mao on My House", Liu Ji's "Xiao Xiao Outside the City Rises in the North Wind, and the City Athlete Blows Off His Ears". In terms of meteorological beauty, wind, flowers, snow and moon have always been representatives of natural beauty, and the first place is "wind", reflecting the influence of monsoon climate on national aesthetic understanding and psychology.
Rain has a great impact on agricultural production and crop growth, and is related to people's livelihood and social stability, and there are many literary descriptions. In terms of aesthetic feelings, some rain makes people happy, such as Mengjiao's "Last night's a flash of rain, Providence Su group", Han Yu's "Tianjie light rain is as moist as crisp, grass color is close but nothing"; Some rain gives people leisure fun, such as Wei Zhuang's "Spring water is blue in the sky, painting boats to listen to rain and sleep", Zhao Shixiu's "Home rain in the yellow plum season, frogs everywhere in the grass pond"; Some rains set off a desolate and lonely atmosphere, such as Li Shangyin's "Junwen return period is not in date, bashan night rain rises autumn pond", Lu You's "Xiaolou listens to spring rain one night, and the ming dynasty sells apricot blossoms in deep alleys", Zhu Yizun's "Sleep together and listen to autumn rain, and Xiao Mo is light and cold"; Some rains make people fearful, such as Meng Yunqing's "Jun does not see the long pine more than a hundred feet of strong knots, the wild storm will eventually be destroyed", Su Shi's "black clouds turn over the ink without covering the mountains, white rain jumping beads into the boat" and so on.
The continental climate alternates quickly in winter and summer, winter is the coldest place in the world at the same latitude, and in summer, most areas are hotter at the same latitude except desert areas, forming a four-season weather with both severe cold and hot summer. There are also many works in literature about bitter cold and bitter heat. Interestingly, du fu, Bai Juyi, Su Shi, Lu You, Yang Wanli, Wang Shizhen and other famous poets have both bitter cold poems and bitter heat poems, which profoundly reflect the strong influence of winter cold and summer heat on people's physical and mental health throughout the ages.
The monsoon climate makes natural phenomena such as spring, autumn, wind, rain, cold and heat become high-frequency words in the literature of the four seasons of the mainland, and has both natural meteorological significance and literary symbolic significance. These meteorological words are combined with other words to express the meaning of the expression appropriately, such as "Spring and Autumn" means age, "Huaichun" refers to the young women's thoughts about men, "cold and summer" means inter-annual changes, "wind and rain" indicates a harsh environment or discussion, "and wind and rain" describes speaking kindly, and "wind and snow moon" refers to empty poetry or romantic love. Literary works use people's universal feelings about these natural phenomena to complete the creation of beauty and the transmission of meaning.
Natural meteorology, literary lyricism, continental meteorological literature is an aesthetic creation accumulated by farming peoples on the basis of the life experience of wind and rain and the order of spring and autumn, nourishing our understanding of thousands of meteorology: spring has a hundred flowers, summer has a cool breeze, autumn has a bright moon, winter has snow, the four seasons change, and life is endless.
