#以书之名#
Chinese poetry is like a spring water, flowing endlessly. Poets and lyricists are like thousands of sails competing with each other, each leading the way. They dance pennies and create ripples on the surface of the river. Those poets, toasting to the moon, singing and harmonizing with each other, talking and laughing, splashing ink, leaving behind a magnificent chapter that shook the literary world. At this moment, they are as happy as Zhu Xi's "waiting for leisure to know the east wind, and thousands of purples and thousands of reds are always spring", full of joy. However, they also have sorrows, as Li Bai said, "Draw the knife and cut off the water, the water flows more, and the glass is more sorrowful", which is thought-provoking. They also taste loneliness, Liu Zongyuan's "lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow", the loneliness jumps on the paper, making people feel a kind of loneliness in a single shadow.
If Liu Zongyuan's "Jiang Xue" is the peak of loneliness, I'm afraid no one will refute it. However, in the history of Chinese literature, there are many talents, and the rising stars also have the majestic momentum of "the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves". Although the poems of the sages have been passed down through the ages and shined, the masterpieces of later generations are also unique. Wang Shizhen of the Qing Dynasty was not only a leader in the political arena, but also a bright star in the poetry arena. His "Solo Fishing in the Autumn River" is similar to Liu Zongyuan's "Jiang Xue". In just 28 words, nine use the word "one", which can be called the best "one" word in the history of poetry. This poem is catchy, easy to memorize, savored, far-reaching, and picturesque. Let's appreciate the charm of this poem together!
A lily and a flat boat, a silk fiber and an inch hook.
A song and a bottle of wine, a person fishing alone in the autumn.
The poem begins like a flowing picture, delicately depicting an angler in a hat who rides a flat boat and wields a fishing rod, enjoying the tranquility and freedom of fishing alone on the river. The poet uses white sketching to concisely and vividly outline the image of the angler and the life of his environment.
The word "silk" in the poem seems to let us see the thin fishing line gently swaying in the breeze, which is not only a fishing tool, but also a link between man and nature, reality and ideals. The poet uses five "one" characters in a row, making the poem read with a sense of chic loneliness and an open-mindedness that transcends the world.
In the third line of the poem, the angler is fishing, humming melodious songs and tasting sweet wine, this unrestrained and free attitude to life is enviable. And the last sentence "one person fishing alone in one river and autumn" pushes the whole poem to a climax, it is not only a vivid description of the fishing scene, but also a profound interpretation of the philosophy of life.
In this poem, what the angler catches is not only a fish, but also an autumn color, an autumn scene, and a kind of leisure and elegance. What he fishes is a state of mind, a joy of life, and a transcendent state of life. The poet uses the technique of contrasting the virtual and the real, and through the clever use of multiple "one" characters, the whole poem is more colorful and interesting.
Compared with Liu Zongyuan's "Jiang Xue", although they all show the theme of loneliness, Wang Shizhen's poem shows more of a warm, expansive and indifferent attitude towards life. Although there is a sense of loneliness in the poem to dispel sorrow and hang on to each other, it is more about the satisfaction and love of real life.
After reading this poem, we seem to have been brought into the picture scroll of the autumn atmosphere, singing about wine, and sitting alone on the river boat. We feel the unrestrained and free joy of life, and also experience the life realm of "one person fishing alone and one river autumn". In this noisy world, we should also learn to let go of the distractions of the world, seek the spiritual home in nature, and feel the peace and freedom beyond the world.
