Take "Summer Nanting Huaixin Da" as an example
[Original]
The mountain light suddenly sets in the west, and the pond moon gradually rises in the east.
Radiate the sunset cool, open and open.
The lotus wind sends the fragrance, and the bamboo dew drops are clear.
If you want to play the piano, you hate ignorance.
I feel nostalgic for the old people, and I dream of working in the middle of the night.
【Translation】
The sunset suddenly set on the west mountain, and the bright moon in the east corner of the pond gradually rose eastward.
Loose hair is just in the shade tonight, how quiet and comfortable it is to open the window and lie idle.
The breeze slowly brings the fragrance of lotus flowers, and the bamboo leaves gently drip dewdrops.
I wanted to take the piano and play a song, but I hated that there was no bosom friend in front of me to appreciate.
I can't help but miss my old friends for this good night, and I can only dream of one in the middle of the night.
[Commentary]
This poem, with its unique artistic charm and profound emotional connotation, has brought me endless thoughts and insights. The poet Meng Haoran used the summer Nanting as the background, and expressed his deep nostalgia for his friends and his love for nature by depicting the natural scenery and inner feelings.
First of all, the natural scenery in the poem is intoxicating. Mountain light, pond moon, lotus wind, bamboo dew, these beautiful words seem to constitute a vivid summer picture. Reading the poems, I seem to be able to feel the coolness of the breeze on my cheeks, and smell the fresh fragrance of lotus flowers and bamboo leaves. This immersive feeling gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of the beauty of nature.
Secondly, the poet expresses his nostalgia for his friend by depicting natural scenery. The South Pavilion is a place where the poet and his friends meet, and now that the friends are gone, the poet is alone in the summer South Pavilion reminiscing about the past time. This nostalgia is not only reflected in the longing for friends, but also in the cherishing and reminiscence of the good old days. The sincerity and depth of this emotion made me feel the preciousness of the emotional bond and friendship between people.
In addition, the poem also reveals the tranquility and tranquility of the poet's heart. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of life, the poet was able to calm down and appreciate nature and feel life, and I was deeply inspired by the peace and tranquility of this state of mind.
In today's society, we are often troubled by all kinds of trivial matters, and it is difficult to maintain a calm heart. Through this poem, Meng Haoran tells us that only when we truly let go of the impetuosity and turmoil in our hearts can we truly feel the beauty of life and the charm of nature.
