Many scenes in nature seem ordinary, but in fact, if people are willing to ponder carefully, they will find that there is abundance in the ordinary. For example, the phenomenon of a full moon and a lack of a moon occurs every month, and people will think that there is no perfection in life, and there should be no confrontation with objective laws.
For example, the blooming and falling of flowers is also a common phenomenon, and literati and artists may feel very sad, but Zen scholars can do whatever they want, and their hearts are as calm as water. An ancient poet was very good at drawing materials, and his poems often gave people great inspiration. The following shares two masterpieces of the late Qing Dynasty talents, few people understand, the ideas are novel and profound.
Title fan on chrysanthemum
Qing · Yu Huachun
Wave to write out the blue clouds, large leaves and thick branches dotted work.
It's not that Anon prefers chrysanthemums, but wants him to have an autumn breeze in June.
Yu Huachun, the word Tianqi, Liaoning Gaixian (now Yingkou) people, the late Qing Dynasty Tongzhi years of Gongsheng, work in poetry and painting, famous in southern Liaoning. Although the poet's career was not smooth, his talent was greatly appreciated by the world, and he was often invited to write poems and paintings. This inscription poem is quite rational and interesting, and it is inexhaustible.
The fan is a common item at home in summer and autumn, and the ancient gentlemen also liked to carry a folding fan with them, showing a chic demeanor. The fan is usually painted with some landscapes or flowers and birds, and then inscribed a poem, which becomes a beautiful work of art.
The author first introduces the picture on the fan, in which the poet splashes ink and depicts a "blue cloud thicket" as a background for chrysanthemums. Then, between the green leaves, he used a fine brush to draw the petals carefully. Readers can imagine the "big leaves and thick branches" of the leaves and the delicately depicted flowers, complementing each other, each showing its own subtlety.
The last two sentences are very exciting, the poet said that it is not that I prefer chrysanthemums, but I hope that after people see the chrysanthemums on the picture, they can immediately feel the coolness brought by the autumn breeze in the hot June. In the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the heat is unbearable, and people wave their fans, as if they can smell a faint fragrance, and they seem to be able to feel a burst of refreshment.
"Autumn Wind" is a kind of imagination, which seems to be extremely unreasonable, but when you think about it carefully, you feel that it makes sense. Because chrysanthemums generally bloom in the cool autumn, people will associate chrysanthemums when they see them, which is the same as looking at plums to quench their thirst. The full text is unpretentious, but it is intriguing to chew, and it can be regarded as a masterpiece of Qing Dynasty poetry.
Crabbing
Climbing the sand sounds at the cost of the project, and the sound of the lower bow is heard from the other side.
After all, there are no spicy hands in the world, and the rivers and lakes are still rampant.
Crab is a delicacy that everyone loves very much, and people give it the nickname "Intestinal Child", and will affectionately call it the Iron Armor General, because although the crab is nutritious, it is easy to get caught by it.
Throughout the ages, literati and writers have often written poems to express their praise, such as Cao Xueqin, who once recited, "The road in front of you has no warp and weft, and the spring and autumn sky in Piri is black and yellow"; Huang Tingjian praised "I also know that Ji Yuan is not guilty, but what is the flavor of this honor." Yu Huachun's poem depicts the process of crab fishing, and at the same time, it supports the meaning of things, expressing the author's sigh.
Crabs crawl on the sand, and fishermen know where to work when they hear their subtle noises. 下簖 (duàn) refers to the insertion of bamboo fences in the river and then the start of fishing crabs.
The word "remote hearing" further emphasizes the "fee project", and people can hear the sound of fishermen in the process of labor when they are far away.
The author also euphemistically expressed his sympathy and reverence for the laborers, just like Fan Zhongyan's poem "You look at a leaf boat, haunt the storm", which shows the hard work in the process of crab fishing.
The last two sentences express the discussion, "After all, there are no spicy hands in the world, and the rivers and lakes are still rampant." The poet said that crabs are rampant and inconvenient to catch, and that the world is full of crab-like characters, who are entrenched everywhere and often plague the world, but there is no strong person to restrain them. In fact, the rampant movement of crabs is an unconscious habitual action, and the author only uses it to express his personal opinions, and to play an association and turn into discussion.
The poet has witnessed the suffering of many people, but they are powerless to change the status quo, and can only lament that they are born at the wrong time and have ambitions. The full text blends the scenes and inherits the nature, showing the author's broad mind of worrying about the country and the people, and also euphemistically revealing the chaotic state in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, which has a certain practical significance.
