Poetry has an appointment, and No. 1 Poetry Lane welcomes everyone's arrival.
When the leaves on the branches deepened a little greener, the time in the world also quietly added a lot of summer atmosphere.
The yellow plum is half old, and the silkworm next door is ripe in autumn.
In the continuous smoke and rain, in the light grass fragrance, in the sound of birdsong...... the summer "Xiaoman" is coming.
Xiaoman, the eighth of the 24 solar terms in the mainland, is also the second solar term of summer.
The territory of the mainland is vast, so "Xiaoman" also has different meanings in the north and south of the mainland.
For the south, Xiaoman indicates that the amount of rain will increase again, such as the folk have the saying that "Xiaoman Xiaoman, the rivers are gradually full"; For the north, the small manchu indicates the degree to which the wheat tends to be full.
Xiaoman, enriching the world, but also poetic summer.
Take advantage of the good time to encounter a summer style in ancient poems. In this issue, Poetry Lane wants to share with you a poem rich in pastoral style.
This poem is beautiful and picturesque, writing a different kind of summer, and only the first two sentences can be fascinating, and I feel more open-minded after reading it.
Luodi Nan is also late in the cattle village
Ming He Wuyu
The two mountains are cut off by the sunset, and the sand boats are rippling in the stream.
The stone gully is cloudy and rainy, and the thatched eaves and cage trees are twilight and smoky.
The new cool calves return to the mulberry thin, and the small Manchu family cuts the wheat field.
When to live in the rafters and mountains, tired of traveling empty memories of the forest springs.
He Wusu, the word Longyou, the number Xianggang, the first word Tiggo, the late number of idle Taoist, the calligrapher and poet of the Ming Dynasty in the mainland.
The poem we are sharing here was written by He Wuyu on his way back after failing in the exam; The whole poem describes what the author saw and heard in the cattle village in the evening, and expressed his feelings at that time.
The first couplet of the poem not only names the time, but also names the author's deeds: the two mountains are broken by the sunset, and the boats are rippling in the sand and mooring; Between the two green hills, the sun was setting slowly, and "I" drove on the stream with the boat, and as the evening came, "I" moored the boat on the beach.
There are no emotionally charged words, just the scenery and specific actions that the author actually sees. Such an opening is like a story slowly opening the curtain, which not only touches the reader's vision, but also arouses the reader's inner interest in the following text.
In the first two sentences, there are both soft tones and a harmonious combination of dynamic and static, so the vividness of the whole picture is also very strong, giving the reader an immersive feeling.
The following couplet continues to describe the scene that the author saw in the evening: the stone ravines are cloudy and rainy, and the thatched eaves and cage trees are twilight and smoky; In the deep rocky ravine, there are thick clouds, which look like it is about to rain. Trees of high and low shades shrouded the hut, from which smoke rose from time to time.
The poem is set in the mountains, so the author's pen exudes the tranquility and emptiness from nature. There is a "quiet" side in the picture of the first couplet, and the picture of the jaw couplet also shows the "quiet" side.
The previous sentence uses the description of the scene of wild clouds and rain to reduce the tone of the picture, which more implicitly echoes the time freeze frame in the first couplet; The latter sentence uses the description of the scene of cooking smoke in a tree cage to closely echo the previous text again.
The combination of the two sentences not only clearly reflects the context of the poem, but also presents the wonderful natural scenery and the tranquil rural life to the reader.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the two sentences in the jaw couplet also do not lose the beauty of dynamics, just like Du Mu's "Baiyunsheng has a home everywhere" as elegant and quiet, which makes people look forward to it, makes people reverie, and makes people feel at ease.
The content of the neck couplet is particularly pastoral: the new cool calf returns to the mulberry thin, and the small Manchu family cuts the wheat field; In the evening, the weather is cool, and the calves are walking slowly along the mulberry paths, and in the middle of the day, people are still harvesting wheat in the fields.
Compared with the jaw couplet, the dynamic sense of the neck joint is obviously much more distinct, and because of the different choices of objects, the atmosphere of life in the neck joint is also stronger.
The appearance of the word "new cool" instantly brings the meaning of evening coolness to readers; The appearance of the word "calf" naturally expresses a bit of liveliness and leisure.
Different from the previous sentence, the latter sentence adds a lot of lively atmosphere to the poem by using the scene of people cutting wheat, and copies a picture of a harvest and full of joy on paper.
One sentence is leisurely and lively, one sentence is busy and lively, and the two sentences are contrasting, but they are so natural when they are integrated, which is the beauty of the neck couplet.
Touching the scene will inevitably give rise to affection, let's take a look at the tail couplet: when the number of days to live in the rafters and mountains, tired of traveling empty and remembering the forest springs; When "I" was able to settle down in this mountain with a few huts, I was tired of traveling and was full of yearning for a secluded life.
The first triptych is three paintings, each with its own beauty, each pleasing to the eye. As readers, we will unconsciously be attracted and intoxicated by the artistic conception in it, so as to forget the hustle and bustle of mundane things, not to mention the author who has just fallen behind.
The author must have been exhausted physically and mentally because of running around and falling behind, so when he witnessed the "Xiaoman" scene in the mountains, his body and mind were recuperated in time, which made him move the idea of living in seclusion in the mountains.
Then, from the couplet, we can see the author's "tiredness" of fame, but also his praise and love for rural life and scenery.
This kind of indifference is a kind of sublimation and detachment after being nourished by simple life and nature; Therefore, the love language of the last couplet also improves the realm of the whole poem to a certain extent, giving the reader an open-minded and clear spiritual guidance.
When Xiaoman comes, he increases the summer mood, and listens to the frog song in the wheat fragrance; After reading a poem, the taste will remain on your lips and teeth. I don't know what special feelings you have about this poem? Let's talk about it in the comment area.
Poetry is a dream, the pen is a horse, and the reading and writing will be carried out to the end; Welcome everyone to pay attention to No. 1 Poetry Lane, we will see you in the next issue!
