Fishing Bay
【Tang】Chu Guangxi
Fishing in the green bay spring, the spring is deep and the apricot flowers are chaotic.
The pond is clear and the water is shallow, and the lotus knows that the fish are scattered.
Treat lovers at sunset, and maintain the green shore of the boat.
In the twilight of spring, the figure of an angler is hidden in the turquoise pool, the shadow is hesitant and anxious on the water, and he doesn't care about the lines of spring quietly passing away at his feet.
The rod in his hand swayed, creating ripples on the water. The drunkard is not interested in drinking, and it is clear that the angler's mind is not in the pleasure of fishing. I don't know where to go in the deep spring, and I only find a few apricot blossoms hanging on the branches in the green shade, which is very beautiful. The flowers on the trees are just like the hazy love that blooms in spring, making the dry heart ripple. This young man took advantage of the dense twilight to drive a flat boat to Diaoyu Bay. The boat cable is lightly tied to the poplar stump and pretends to fish, but in fact, the heart is surging with the desire to wait for the return of the lover. No matter how much you fiddle with the fishing rod and how you pretend to be calm, the anxiety in your heart wants to be covered.
Looking down at the blue pool, the clear pool water can be seen to the end at a glance, the fishing youth can't help but wonder if such a shallow water can keep the fish, suddenly notice the lotus leaves on the water surface swaying, only to learn that the fish in the water are frightened and scurry, scattered...... From another angle, this concern also hints at the young man's fear that the journey will be obstructed and that he will not be able to wait for a long time, which makes the angler can't help but think crankily, imagining that the person in his mind will not be able to go to the appointment due to an accident. And the scene of the lotus moving fish scattering makes people regain hope in the darkness and loss, and in a trance mistakenly thought that it was the long-awaited "lotus moving under the fishing boat", who knew that it was to be determined and looked carefully, only to find that it was the bottom fish scattered, and the heart was inevitably sinking, and the gloomy and frustrated feelings crawled all over the face.
The heart was filled with melancholy, the sun was about to stop, the spring was gone, and the young man felt an indescribable feeling of falling gently. The willows on the shore are still swaying, I don't know whether to laugh at his infatuation or pity him for being sentimental...... The emotional ups and downs experienced while waiting for the person you want – from fear and panic to sudden longing for hope and then then collapse – are vividly combined, skillfully combining the human psyche with the changes in the landscape.
This poem, with the name of the place "Diaoyu Bay" as the title, focuses most of the whole poem on the independent shaping of the scenery in late spring and early summer, and the last two sentences "Treat lovers at dusk, Weizhou green poplar shore" has a sense of finishing touch, and also gives a new and deep meaning to the scenery writing in the first four sentences. The meaning of the speech was suddenly interrupted, and when there was no landing, it suddenly ended with such a poem, which made the mountain loop turn, the clouds and fog, and the sense of moving and dodging. The original meaning of ordinary fishing has become a symbol of affection, and it has been endowed with richer emotional twists and turns.
The story behind the poem continues, the words telling unspoken reveries in our minds. A beautiful woman in a green shirt brushed aside the layers of lotus leaves, stirred the fine lines in the water, and slowly walked towards Diaoyu Bay. As if the bay water that he didn't understand was also out of proportion, it wrinkled softly with a ripple, and even the twilight of spring couldn't help but be shy in front of the girl.
In ancient times, there was a precedent for comparing a man and a woman in love to a symbol of the monarch. When Chu Guangxi, who lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain due to his frustration in his career, wrote this poem "Diaoyu Bay", there were also many conjectures about his life experiences. The lover's mentality of waiting for a woman seems to have been endowed with the meaning of being abandoned and longing to regain the appreciation of the monarch. Like a young man looking forward to the arrival of a woman, he was full of anticipation and anxiety, outlining the ambition of one day when the emperor of the world would really be able to be a virtuous corporal and discover that the person who was hidden here wanted to serve the country. In addition to the vivid life interest under careful observation, it also quietly breeds the poet's modern feelings of actively entering the WTO.
The meaning of love is the superficial meaning that Chu Guangxi wants to express directly, and the in-depth interpretation of it by future generations shows a new perspective. It is impossible to judge whether this interpretation is in line with the poet's original intention, but from the reader's point of view, I can't help but want to peek into the author's mysterious inner world.
The words are over, and the lingering feelings are not over. In that rich spring light, in the afterglow of the sunset, the green willows are still clinging, the flat boat is lightly lifted, through the words and imagination in the poem, it seems that I still see the man waiting for the person he wants by the pool, looking at the ideal in the distance, sometimes bowing his head and fiddling with the fishing rod, sometimes staring affectionately at the sparkling waves on the water surface that are startled by the breeze. It seemed like a picture of eternity, the most beautiful shot frozen in memory, which will be etched in my mind forever.
Life and love in fishing, if you chew and taste carefully, you can find a certain philosophical convergence point in this seemingly unrelated scenery and people, and there are many flavors.
