The Great Poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao Yuanming's "Record of Peach Blossom Origin", brought people a very deep impression, in his pen, for us to invent a beautiful situation isolated from the world, Tao Yuanming's peach blossom source, is extremely beautiful, "suddenly encounter the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees, the herbs are delicious, the fall of the British colorful..." The people in the peach blossom source are even more idyllic and happy, "the land is flat, the houses are like houses, there are good fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry bamboo, strange traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other..."
Tao Yuanming's beauty of isolation from the world has been widely praised in later generations, and Taohuayuan has become the object of yearning for countless literati and scholars, and many people have also borrowed Tao Yuanming's articles to enter poetry, and the best written of it is the poem "Peach Blossom Creek" made by Zhang Xu in the Tang Dynasty, which has also been selected into the "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty" because of its beautiful artistic conception, catchy melody, and novel and unique angle, which has become a masterpiece of ancient times.
Zhang Xu with the help of the artistic conception of "Peach Blossom Origin", showing us a scene with great beauty and charm, the magic is that the poet can write a new idea, rather than blindly following the footsteps of Tao Yuanming, Zhang Xu through the description of the beautiful and vulgar scenery of Peach Blossom Creek, and with the help of the fisherman's question and answer, expressed an attitude of yearning for a paradise and pursuing a better life.
"Peach Blossom Creek" was written as "Peach Blossom Rock" in the "Ten Thousand Tang Dynasty Absolute Sentences" compiled by Hongmai in the Southern Song Dynasty, but in the Ming and Qing anthologies, it was often written as "Peach Blossom Creek", and later generations gradually became accustomed to using this topic. Of course, there are also some scholars who believe that this poem is a Song poem, not written by the Tang Dynasty Zhang Xu, but the argument has not been recognized by other scholars, so most of them still believe that the author of the poem is the Tang Dynasty Zhang Xu.
Peach Blossom Creek
Don Zhang Xu
Hidden flying bridge across the wild smoke, ishiji west bank asked fishing boats.
The peach blossoms flow with the water all day, and the cave is on the side of the clear stream.
Starting to write the scenery of the distant view, the magic is on a "gap" word, "hidden flying bridge away from the wild smoke", the author looks far away in the deep mountain valley, the smoke is swirling, across the clouds and smoke, is a long bridge across the mountain stream, this bridge in the clouds and mist, as if there is nothing, like a fairyland. Hazy clouds are easy to make people feel mysterious and deep, not to mention that the poet here combines dynamic and static, under the background of smoke, even the static bridge has become "flying", which has a hazy beauty.
The second sentence is pulled to the close-up scene, and hides itself in the picture, "Ask the fishing boat on the west bank of the stone rock", next to the strange rocky rock, a fisherman swaying the light boat, the poet is on the bank of the stone rock, asking loudly to the fishing boat. Zhang Xu used a "ask" character to put himself into the picture, two people, a stream, a scene, together constitute a quiet and bright scene full of life charm.
The poet watched the peach blossoms on the shore drifting in the stream, as the stream flowed into the distance, he couldn't help but be intoxicated by the landscape here, for a time, the poet himself seemed to be in the peach blossom forest depicted by Tao Yuanming, "hundreds of steps on the bank, no miscellaneous trees, delicious herbs, and colorful flowers", so he couldn't help but think of the fisherman as the Wuling man, so he asked loudly: "The peach blossoms flow with the water all day, where is the cave in the Qingxi", and the peach blossoms came out with the flowing water. Do you know where the opening of the cave that entered the Peach Blossom Garden is?
At this point, the poem also stops abruptly, whether the fisherman has answered, the poet has not written more, nor does he have to write more, the author only asks and does not answer, leaving it for the reader to imagine, it is this feeling of exhaustion and infinite meaning, which can make people more evocative. In fact, it is not necessary to say, we also know that fishermen naturally cannot answer anything, but if they are broken, they are not poetic, and they are left for people to taste, which adds infinite charm.
Zhang Xu's poem, although with the help of Tao Yuanming's peach blossom source artistic conception, but not conventional, the whole poem layout is ingenious, the angle is novel, the poet first wrote from the real scene from far and near, and then ended with a question, from the real into the virtual, the writing is concise, natural and fresh, the poetic ethereal and ethereal, the charm is unique, let people immerse themselves in the beautiful environment of the poet's pen for a long time, and feel very beautiful.
