Rain, snow, wind and frost, clouds, thunder and lightning are not only common scenes, but also often used as poetic images in the poems of literati and artists. Talents also seem to prefer to describe the falling rain, the rain moistens the grass and trees in the spring, seems to contain acacia, the black clouds turn the ink in the summer, the white rain jumps the beads, the autumn rain hits the plantains, the sycamore leaves fall, the winter is bleak and cold, and the long night is long, all of which are impressive.
Rain can water the land, but it can also hinder travel, and it often triggers complicated feelings that are difficult for talented people to describe. Some people like a light rain, soothing and gentle; Some people hate the drizzle, which keeps raining. The rain has no emotion, but the poet often empathizes, thus leaving countless masterpieces for future generations. The following shares Dunmin's seven laws, echoing from beginning to end, swaying freely, worthy of being a masterpiece of the Qing Dynasty poetry.
Xiaoyu is a thing
Qing · Dunmin
In the dream, the curtain clouds are shining.
The small steps fall in the rain of acacia flowers, and the low curtain obliquely passes through the swallow wind.
Look at the smoke willows from afar, sit and listen to the window canopy.
The pomegranate bought the gift table yesterday, and I am happy to see that the night is very popular.
A descendant of the Qing Dynasty royal family, Aisin Jueluo Dunmin loved to read since he was a child, and wrote many poems when he was a teenager. Dun Min had a close relationship with Cao Xueqin, he admired Cao Gong's knowledge and character, and often cared for and helped him in all aspects.
In his early years, Dun Min worked as a tax official in Jinzhou, but he did not want to be bound by mundane affairs, so he returned to the capital to live in idleness. After such a few tosses, although he did not make great achievements in the end, he was remembered because of his relationship with Cao Gong.
The first two sentences describe the scene when the rain falls, "In the dream, the rolling shutters are shining." At dawn, while the poet was still asleep, he was awakened by the sound of rain outside the window. He got up and went to the window to roll up the curtain to watch, and sure enough, he saw the clouds rolling in the sky, and there was a blurry scene between heaven and earth.
Mingmeng, describing a smoky and chaotic scene. This couplet is flat and even, and the first sentence rhymes, which is actually a decent beginning. The author does not use any rhetorical devices, but the word "surprise" delicately conveys the poet's amazement. It can be seen that there should have been no rain in the area for a long time, otherwise the poet would not have gotten up to watch the rain immediately when he was half-asleep and half-awake.
The jaw couplet is intertextual, further depicting the rain scene from the side, "the small steps fall chaotically with the locust flower rain, and the low curtain obliquely passes through the swallow wind." "After the rain, the steps in front of the courtyard are covered with acacia flowers. The swallow's wings are wet with rain and become heavy, so they can only fly low and "pass diagonally" into the curtain.
The word "chaos" indicates that the wind carries the cold rain, blowing Luoying everywhere, and also makes the swallow panic and quickly find a place to shelter from the rain. When the poet saw the redness of the ground, he must have felt very sorry, and for a time he had no sleep.
The neck couplet adopts the technique of audio-visual combination, "looking at the smoke willows from afar, sitting and listening to the window canopy." The sentence depicts the vista, the slightest light rain gently blows the grass and trees, and it is like a layer of smoke, enveloping the willow trees by the pool, which makes people feel dreamlike. 罥 (juàn), meaning to wind.
The couplet again engages the auditory senses, and the poet seems to have not seen rain for a long time, and sits there like a child, watching intently, and then pricking up his ears to listen carefully. The light rain knocks on the window, as if it is playing a beautiful music, so that the poet does not want to miss any notes.
The ending echoes the opening and expresses joy, "The pomegranate bought the gift table yesterday, and I am happy to see that the night is very popular." The poet had bought a few pomegranate trees from other places, and had just planted them a few days ago, when a timely rain made the poet very happy.
The poet originally thought that those pomegranate trees would not survive, but after dinner, the poet went out for a stroll, and suddenly found that the pomegranate flowers were "extraordinarily red", and his heart immediately swelled with joy, and a smile appeared on his face inadvertently.
A light rain describes the author's true feelings, he was first surprised and then delighted, and then recorded this rain viewing process in the poem, so that the future generations of authors also seem to be immersed, and as if they have traveled through time and space, and experience the passion and joy with Dunmin!
