Tasting classic poems and telling historical stories, Reiko welcomes your visit.
Preamble:
At that time, Su Shi lived in Huangzhou, went out in spring, encountered rain by chance, and because he did not bring rain gear, he walked forward calmly with bamboo canes and shoes.
"Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and walk slowly", and then there was the very healing song "Fixing the Storm".
Life is like a send, wind and rain come, who can predict the prophet, like Su Shi, just face it with a calm heart.
He was a prince, a patriotic poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, who was repeatedly attacked and dismissed many times because of his upright character like Su Shi.
No matter how the sea rises and falls, he always faces it calmly and is not shocked, and this song "Mountain Walk is a Thing" is a portrayal of his mind.
The clouds are blue in the sky, and the comings and goings are cloudy and sunny.
The lotus rain sprinkles the clothes wet, and the apple wind blows the sleeves.
The magpie is noisy and the sunrise, and the gulls are flat.
The mountains are silent, and they wake up for three days. ——Song Wang Zhen "Mountain Walk is a Thing"
Short translation:
The clear sky just now, suddenly some puffy clouds drifted in, and they came and went, as if discussing something, "Is it better to have a clear sky or a rainy day?"
The drizzle still fell, hitting the lotus leaves, making a rapid sound, and after a while, the clothes were wet, and the breeze blew from the duckweed, blowing the sleeves, which was very cool.
After a while, the rain stopped, the clouds dispersed, the sun came out, the birds chirped, and the gulls frolicked on the calm waters.
After the light rain, the scenery in the mountain is more clear and beautiful, you see that the mountain is silent, but it can make me drunk in it, become refreshed, and make the body and mind happy.
Analysis:
This is an improvisational work, recording the changes in the weather during the mountain journey, as well as the changes in the scenery before and after the rain.
"The clouds are blue in the sky, and the clouds are cloudy and sunny", the first couplet writes about the sudden change in the weather, which was originally a very depressing thing, because the sky was clear when he set off, so he did not carry rain gear.
However, when the psalmist saw that there were suddenly more clouds in the sky, he did not worry about the rain and wet his clothes, but like a child, he imagined whether they were deliberating about whether it should rain or not.
"The number of peaks is clear, and the evening rain is discussed", I thought that the two sentences in Jiang Kui's "Dotting the Lips" were expressive enough, and after reading Wang Qian's poems, I knew that "Mountain Travel" was more ingenious.
Jiang Kui's words are full of sadness, and Wang Qian's poems are full of innocence, although it is an unpleasant thing to meet the rain in the mountains, but a good attitude will make you move forward without being depressed.
"The lotus rain sprinkles the clothes wet, and the apple blows the sleeves clearly", the jaw couplet writes that the rain falls, the light rain falls, hits the lotus leaf, wets the clothes, and the apple wind on the water feels very cool.
Even if the drizzle wets the clothes, there is no hurry to avoid the rain, but still walks in a leisurely way, and the scenery along the way is very pleasant, enjoying the fresh breeze blowing on the water.
The rain did not disturb the interest of the mountain trip, but sent coolness, reduced the fatigue of the journey, blessings and misfortunes, sometimes, what seems to be a bad thing, maybe a good thing.
"The magpie is noisy and the sun rises, and the gulls are flat", the neck couplet writes the pleasant mood of the rain and the sunny sky, the rain breaks and the clouds disperse, the birds chirp, and the gulls and birds play happily on the water surface like a mirror.
Just now it was still in the drizzle, "the pavilion is silent, the flowers are silent, only the traveler walks alone", the clinker is lively in a blink of an eye, the magpie is chirping, and the sun is sprinkled on the sparkling water.
"The mountains are silent, wake up the three days of drinking", the tail couplet is lyrical, writing the mood after the rain, echoing the first couplet, and writing the fresh mountain color after the rain to make yourself refreshed in an anthropomorphic way.
酲 (chéng) is a metaphor for the state of laziness and exhaustion after waking up, and this poem refers to the loveliness of the mountains, which are already intoxicated by the mountain scenery, and the mountains are even more refreshing after the rain.
From the clear sky, to the falling rain, and then to the rainy and sunny sky, the poet progresses layer by layer, methodically one by one, and the fresh breath of the mountains comes to the face, giving people a sense of immersion.
Postscript:
Wang Qian, whose name is Jingwen, is a native of Dongping, Shandong, and later lived in Yangxin County, Hubei, and is a famous scholar, poet and writer in the Southern Song Dynasty.
He is talented, quick-witted, well-versed in economics and history, talented, 25-year-old Jinshi and first, won the respect of Zhang Xiaoxiang and his son.
Song Gaozong appreciated Wang Qian's talent, once called for a test for the museum, and later joined Taixue, Wang Che, Zhang Jun, Yu Yunwen and others all admired Wang Qian's talent.
Yu Yunwen also recommended him as the right Zhengyan (responsible for admonishment) around Xiaozong, but he was secretly slandered because of his upright personality and was feared by the powerful.
Wang Qian's ambition was not rewarded, and he went to the shogunate many times, and even the "History of the Song Dynasty" was unhappy for him, calling him "going to the country with the ancestral hall" and "bearing his promising talent".
Good poetry, work words, and able writing, Wang Zhen's main achievement is still in literary creation, Lu You once praised him for "knowing ten thousand words and strategies, worthy of the Jiuyuan people".
Let the wind blow and the waves blow, I walk leisurely. Wang Zhen advocates Su Shi, and also has the style of Su Shi, just like this song "Mountain Walk is a Thing", calm and leisurely. #宝藏兴趣攻略#
