Poetry is a wisp of wind that sweeps away the sorrow of the heart; the word is a shower of rain that nourishes a dry heart.
Wandering in the long river of poetry, the beauty of poetry intoxicates us all the time, the swaying and colorful form of poetry, the fragrance of refreshing the spleen, the concise language beauty of poetry, the beauty of the rhythm of the rhyme, the lyrical beauty of the moving heart, the vast desolation, the hazy and quiet artistic beauty, all of which make people linger, stop and taste, and do not want to leave for a long time.
When it comes to poetry, Tang poetry and Song Ci are two amazing waves in the long river of Chinese poetry, and Tang poetry and Song Ci have their own characteristics. Unlike the rational beauty of Tang poetry, the beauty of Song Ci is sensual. Song Ci is a new style of poetry, another literary genre after Tang poetry, which has the characteristics of both literature and music.
Song words were born from the song words of the late Tang Dynasty Five Dynasties, most of which were soft and gentle words, and song lyricists inherited and transformed this tradition, creating a large number of chants, love words, yongshi words, pastoral words, gift words, farewell words, etc.
Song Ci is like a fine celadon artwork of the Song Dynasty, after the Song Dynasty lyricists carefully created and conceived, a piece of ingenious, beautiful, glazed crystal art is presented in front of the eyes of the world.
Song Ci is also a competition in style, and the boldness and elegance coexist with freshness and beauty. There were dozens of poets in the Song Dynasty, such as Liu Yong, Zhang Xian, Su Shi, Yan Jidao, Qin Guan, He Zhu, Zhou Bangyan, Li Qingzhao, Zhu Dunru, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Xiaoxiang, Xin Shuyi, Liu Guo, Jiang Kui, Wu Wenying, Wang Yisun, Jiang Jie, Zhang Yan and others, all of whom have made unique artistic achievements.
Among these many lyricists who have made outstanding achievements in the creation of Song ci, Zhang Yan, a lyricist at the end of the Song Dynasty, is a special existence. When Song Ci completes its literary mission, someone must always draw a satisfactory end to the literature of this era. It can be said that Zhang Yan's word is the last syllable of the Song Ci stop beating, and it is also the last note in the Song Ci melody.
Zhang Yan (張炎), courtesy name Shuxia (叔夏), was born in Chengji (present-day Tianshui, Gansu) and lived in Hangzhou. Zhang Yan was born in a literary family in the eighth year of the Song Dynasty, and his great-grandfather Zhang Wei was a well-known figure in the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty, who was very accomplished in poetry, and sang with celebrities in cultural circles such as Lu You and Jiang Kui. His father, Zhang Shu, was proficient in music and composing songs for the sake of declaring the lyrics, and once organized the launch of the "West Lake Bard Society", and sang poetry and wine with the lyricists Zhou Mi, Yang Zhan and others, which became a good story in the literary world.
Under the influence and influence of the family environment, Zhang Yan has a strong interest in literature, especially lyrics, since he was a child, he has received professional word guidance, which comes from the personal guidance of his father Zhang Shu, there are also teachings from Zhang Shu's literary friends, and Zhang Yan's natural interest and talent in word writing.
Zhang Yanyou traveled to study and advanced, and in his youth, he had outstanding poetry creation ability, high literary literacy, and inherited a good family style. By Song Into the Yuan, Zhang Yan chose a life of indifference to fame and fortune, and most of his time was spent in Hangzhou, except for the occasional small gathering with friends, he spent more time and energy on the research and creation of lexicology. In order to devote himself to the study of poetry, he once lived in seclusion in the scenic and quiet area of Jinghu Gao'ai Mountain.
Zhang Yan tirelessly pursues innovation and breakthroughs in lexicology. In his lifelong creation, Zhang Yan also handed over a fruitful report card, 296 words he created in his lifetime, which were included in his collection of words "White Clouds in the Mountains", and he also wrote an eight-volume monograph "Etymology".
Zhang Yan's words are longer than yongwu, proficient in musical rhythms, judging rhymes, meticulous, making words and sentences, fluent and clear, and sometimes there are fine warnings. In his creation, he also pinned his own personal feelings, and he often wrote about the sorrow of the fall with the pen of emptiness, with a distinct mark of the times. Because of Zhang Yan's contribution to the Song Dynasty, later generations referred to him and another famous lyricist, Jiang Kui, as "Jiang Zhang", and he was also known as the "Four Greats of the Late Song Dynasty" along with the famous lyricists Jiang Jie, Wang Yisun, and Zhou Mi at the end of the Song Dynasty.
Zhang Yan during his seclusion in Gao'ai Mountain, Jinghu Lake, the charming scenery of Jinghu Lake seems to bring a lot of inspiration to the lyricist, the evening breeze that slowly blows through Jinghu Lake, the layers of fish scale-like ripples on the water surface, and the birds skimming over Jinghu Lake, all of which add a lot of unexpected fun to the reclusive life of the lyricist, and he gives his body and mind to the beautiful Mirror Lake.
The natural and simple life of living in Jinghu Lake has brought Great happiness and freedom to Zhang Yan, who loves nature and appreciates nature. The life of indisputable world, indifferent to fame and fortune, and the peaceful state of mind also consciously or unconsciously open up new thinking about life.
"Touching the Caviar Gao Aishan Hermitage" is a poem created by Zhang Yan during this period, which is beautiful in terms of word formation and rhythm, and can be said to represent Zhang Yan's style of word composition. The original words are as follows:
Aiwulu and the lake are thousands of acres, and the sky is clear. Qinglan warms the green melting place, and the flower shadow reflects the sky mirror. Shapu. Look at the wild water culvert waves, across the willows across the lone boat. The sleeping gull is not awake. Even in the countryside, no one saw it, and the spring sun was illuminated obliquely. Also save money. It is not expected that qin and jin in the mountains, Taoyuan is difficult to recognize this time. The forest is the road to eternal life, and a smile is not a shortcut. Deeper and quieter. To be distributed, the wind is cold across the crane sky. Drink with high dew. The blue dust is falling, the light shakes half the wall, and the moon is at the top of Wansong.
Gao Ai Mountain, near Mirror Lake, is a place where the writers live in seclusion. Jinghu Lake, also known as JianHu Lake, is located in the southwest of Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, and is one of the famous lakes in Zhejiang, and it is said that the Yellow Emperor cast the mirror here. Jinghu Lake is known as Jian Lake Eight Hundred Miles reputation, it can be seen that the previous water area of Jinghu Lake is very broad, but after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Jinghu Lake gradually silted up, during the Northern Song Dynasty, people built on the lake, built lake reclamation, and the water area of Jinghu Lake gradually decreased.
The water quality of Jian Lake is particularly good, and the well-known Shaoxing old wine at home and abroad is brewed from the water of Jinghu Lake. In the era when Zhang Yan lived, the surface of Jianhu Lake was still very wide. Boating mirror lake, near the blue waves reflected, distant green mountains overlap, there are boats in the lake, people swimming in the middle of the painting feeling.
Zhang Yan's poem is written from the scenery of Jinghu Lake, because the reclusive place of the lyricist is Gaoai Mountain near Jinghu Lake.
The opening three words "Love Wulu", the lyricist expresses his love for the hermitage. Loving the house and Wu, the writer lives in seclusion on the shore of this pleasant scenery of Jinghu Lake, and he is so affectionate about everything here.
The quiet atmosphere brought by the residence makes the lyricist feel undistracted when creating, and he can be more engaged and more concentrated to think, because although there is no prosperity of the city, it also avoids the hustle and bustle of traffic and filters out the impetuousness of the world.
In fact, the three words "Ai WuLu" have another deep meaning, which in itself is an affirmative attitude held by the lyricist to the life of seclusion, because these three words were born from the poem "Reading the Thirteen Classics of Mountains and Seas" by The Hermit of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the original poem has "Mengxia grass and trees are long, and the trees around the house are sparse." The birds are happy, and I love me. Both ploughed and planted, and sometimes read my books".
In fact, as long as you relate to the situation and state of mind when Tao Yuanming wrote his words, it is not difficult to see that this is the early summer, the grass and trees are luxuriant, the birds hide in the jungle for their own pleasure, and the poet Tao Yuanming lives in the grass house surrounded by green trees, and also has some fun. Tao Yuanming leisurely read books after farming. The mood seems to be so elegant and leisurely, natural and peaceful, reflecting that everything in the world, including the poet himself, has its own magic.
Tao Yuanming and Zhang Yan, two characters, different places, different situations, but their state of mind is the same, they both advocate a life of return to the basics, the pursuit of a way of life intimate with nature. Maybe they are confidants of different generations, because they do not live in the same time and space, but the emotions of meeting each other to become confidants are the same.
"The lake is a thousand acres, the sky is clear", these two poems describe the scenery of the mirror lake, the blue waves of the mirror lake, far away, the vastness, the lakeside water and grass are abundant. "Qingrun" is both a description of the Mirror Lake and a description of the sky, the lake is clear and clear, the sky is clear and clear, and the white clouds in the sky sprinkle their soft figures on the soothing lake.
What a beautiful scenery of Mirror Lake. Perhaps in the eyes of the writer, there is also a feeling of "water flowing in the sky, clouds walking in the water". If you are boating on the lake, drinking and writing poetry, when the lyricist puts the starlight on his body because he lingers, will he also have the feeling of "not knowing that the sky is in the water after getting drunk, and the ship is full of dreams to suppress the galaxy"?
The next few sentences, or the lyricist's description of the scenery of Mirror Lake, what kind of picture is it? When the sun is shining, the wind is beautiful, the writer stands on the shore of the Mirror Lake, the line of sight is extremely open, and the scenery in front of him is bright, and the warm mountain light and green tree color of Gao'ai Mountain can be seen.
Sunlight shines through the layers of foliage, sprinkling speckled shadows, some of which sprinkle on the grass, some of which sprinkle on the lake, and the shadows of the sun are enough, sparkling and beautiful. The lake light and the mountain color shine together, and the poetry and painting are integrated.
There is also a soft sandy beach on the shore of the lake, a small boat is parked in the shade of the willow, and the water birds that inhabit the lake are still sleeping, which is how the gulls are still asleep. The writer observes, listens, and feels the boundless beauty of the Mirror Lake, which is like a close friend, quietly listening to the voice of the lyricist, quietly accompanying him through every morning and dusk, and the life of the lyricist is full and happy.
Mirror Lake is also rich in aquatic products, delicious lettuce and sea bass, these gifts from nature, satisfies the taste buds of the lyricist. In this free world, the writer feels a quiet space of his own and tastes a peace of his own.
At this time, the sunset will also sprinkle the last afterglow on the body of the writer, and at this spring dusk, the writer infinitely feels the beauty of the Mirror Lake and the intimacy of nature.
If the upper film is mainly the description of the mirror lake and its surrounding environment by the lyricist, then the next description is the embodiment of the lyricist's state of mind, and in the sunset oblique light and the twilight sky, the undercurrent of the lyricist's feelings is disturbed. He listened back and sunk into deep thought:
People look for the peach blossom source that the People of Jin Wuling have visited, and even if they find it, who knows whether this peach blossom source is Qin or Jin, I am afraid that it is difficult to recognize it when they see it. Don't say that living in seclusion in the forest springs of Mirror Lake is the road to immortality, I smiled brightly, and I must know that seclusion is not a shortcut. I was about to spread my hair and blow the whistle across the crane to ascend to the immortals, afraid of the wind and cold.
This is the lyricist's perception of life and life: a person, alone, has walked a long way. Can endure loneliness, in order to quietly watch the prosperity. The lyricist believes that loneliness is the norm of life, do not be empty, confused and uneasy because of loneliness, and do not lose yourself in loneliness. Only by enduring loneliness can we maintain inner peace and keep prosperity.
However, after sighing, he immediately relieved himself, so that the tight meaning of the words also tended to be peaceful and soothing. Then, a series of beautiful melodies that are as smooth as flowing water flow out at the end of the writer's pen: in the wind of Gao'ai Mountain, the sparkling water on the shore of Mirror Lake, and the night when the moonlight is shining brightly, the writer imagines blowing the crane, drinking dew in the wind, and forever leaving aside the earthly world full of floating and hustle and bustle.
The night scene written here is completely different from the scenery in the previous film: the upper film is the real scene in front of the eyes, and the words have fallen; here it is purely a scene created by emotion, a fictional illusion.
The lyricist believes that if you can endure loneliness, you can maintain inner peace, be at peace, and not be impetuous. You can endure loneliness and precipitate yourself better, so that you can focus on your own world of words without distraction.
It is in this state of mind that the lyricist adapts to the secluded life with loneliness, and what he dedicates to the world is a wonderful word with elegant language and harmonious rhyme.
