The Tang Dynasty produced countless outstanding poets, who were brilliant, insightful, well-worded, and charming, and later generations not only admired them infinitely, but also continued to learn and imitate their creative styles.
However, the correspondence between the meaning of the text and the similarity of the words are all taboos in the creation of poetry. Therefore, Han Yu actively advocated Chen Yanwu to go, but there were also many masters who could follow and get more and more skilled, or even more outstanding.
For example, Wang Anshi likes to write collected poems, many of which are intact using other people's works, but because of the profound artistic conception, they are intriguing. Huang Tingjian sometimes studied the works of the ancients, but because he was too much to pursue no words and nowhere to come, he became obscure.
It can be seen that poetry creation is a hard labor, but it also needs to be inherited and carried forward, not blindly imitated and copied, and must have its own unique creativity and insight. The following is a six-character poem that Is very famous for Gu Guan, which is light and quiet, and Ma Zhiyuan of the Yuan Dynasty is also deeply inspired.
Mountain home
Tang Dynasty: Gu Situation
The sound of Banqiao people crossing the spring, the sound of chickens chirping in the afternoon of the day.
Mo qi roasted tea smoke dark, but like to sunshine the valley sky eye.
Gu Guan, Zi Qiweng, Jinshi and Hou served several small officials, but was later degraded for writing poems to mock the powerful, and lived a reclusive life in his later years at the age of ninety-four. Gu Quan was a pioneer of the Xinlefu poetry movement, and his sentimental poems concentrated on the author's arrogant and uninhibited character and bitter and indignant emotions; some lyric poems depicted the uneven cries of feudal intellectuals after their frustration, which were sad and indignant, and also shocked people's hearts.
The poet vents his own exuberant feelings, the laws of social development, and his profound contemplation of various phenomena in the natural world in a sonorous and exciting tone and a way that spews out, which is painful and painful.
The poet lived a leisurely and idyllic life in his later years, and this poem expresses his praise for rural life. The first two sentences show a quiet and elegant picture of the countryside, "The sound of Banqiao people crossing the spring, the noon chicken chirping on the day of the eaves." The poet was idle, going out for a walk, and he walked slowly on the Banqiao, and the spring water under the bridge was tinkling and rippling; he came to the door of the farmhouse again, just after noon, and the rooster in front of the thatched house was chirping.
In the first two sentences, the author superimposes six images of Banqiao, ferry, spring water, as well as huts, red suns, and roosters, forming a light and quiet artistic conception, and with concise brush and ink, outlines the geographical environment of the mountain family, which not only appears real and appropriate, but also lays a good foundation for the later text.
Next, he expressed the author's joy, "Mo Qi roasted tea smoke dark, but like to sun the valley tianjian." The poet said leisurely, don't complain about the green smoke coming out when you bake the tea, but you should be glad that the sun valley is on a sunny day." Mo anger, but joy", refining the characters exquisitely, not only appears quite poetic, but also conveys a wealth of interest. If these four words are deleted, it becomes a pure narrative, and it has no poetic charm at all.
A disgust and a joy, the contrast is sharp, not only appears to be frustrated, but also makes the poetry flexible, reading as if it is pulling a family routine, there is a sense of intimacy. The author uses simple language to convey admiration and respect for tea farmers, and more euphemistically shows the poet's joy.
Gu Quan's six-character poem is beautiful in language and more ingenious. The author went deep into the fields to appreciate the industriousness and simplicity of the people; and with vivid brushes, he painted a fresh and elegant picture, which made people reminisce about the past and feel nostalgic. Wen Tingjun of the late Tang Dynasty has a famous poem "Shangshan Morning Trip", in which two sentences are extremely wonderful: Chicken Sound Maodian Moon, Human Footprint Banqiao Frost. Comparing the first two sentences of Gu Quan's poem, it can be seen that although Wen Shi has traces of transformation, it is extremely clever, and there is no sense of cutting enough to fit.
Ma Zhiyuan of the Yuan Dynasty has a poem "Tianjing Sand", two of which read: Dead vines, old trees, crows, small bridges and flowing water people. The author uses only a few words to vividly show the melancholy of the journey, although it does not have a sad word, but it is full of resentment. He must have been inspired by this poem by Gu Quan, then changed the mood and carefully polished it to have this popular masterpiece.
