The Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxuan left a total of two poems, one of which is "Spring River Flower Moon Night" is beautiful and elegant, but does not lose philosophical thinking and profundity. It has always had the reputation of "a single article suppressing the whole Tang".
Mr. Wen Yiduo commented that "Spring River Flower Moon Night" is a poem within a poem, the peak on the peak. Wang Fuzhi, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty University, said that the sentences were renovated, a thousand strands, in order to move the hearts and minds of ancient and modern people, and the spirit and foolishness were shared. Fan Dashi of the Qing Dynasty said that it was flexible in layers, such as peeling off the scorched heart, and did not feel that the words and sentences were involved in repetition. In short, it is not an exaggeration to praise this poem in any way.
When Zhang Ruo composed this poem, he was about 55 years old, and men of this age had precipitated their knowledge and experience and had a thorough understanding of life. The ancients were seventy years old, and a man in his fifties had more or less the panic of the years and the regrets of his past life.
Fate and the fifty-year-old Zhang Ruoxuan made a big joke, he was invited by princess Taiping to serve as a teacher for her two daughters Wu Yan and Wu Li, for any reader, to serve the most powerful Princess Taiping is a beauty that many people can't ask for, but there are two sides to everything, a learned, gentle and mature man is often very attractive to the cardamom girl, and Wu Yan soon has a crush on this teacher who is almost 40 years old. The two teachers and students have close contact every day, especially the infatuation of the girl, which ignites the small flame that Teacher Zhang wants to move, and then it is out of control, and the two love like crazy, and the love is oblivious. The huge age difference, the huge class difference, is destined that no matter how much this flower of feelings blooms, it will not produce the desired fruit.
It is said that Princess Taiping likes to take in young talents, she has long admired Cui Xiang's knowledge, appearance, and demeanor, and wants to recruit him into the house, but she did not expect Cui Xiang to reject her, Princess Taiping is not dead-hearted, Zuo Si right wants to find no good way, the steward next to her gives her advice, saying that we can marry the Cui family, marry Wu Yan to Cui Xiang's younger brother Cui Di, the two families have become relatives, and the common face is naturally not a problem.
Although the Cui family is a door valve nobleman, but the marriage with Princess Taiping, naturally found another umbrella that can be relied on, each plan under the plate, the two families quickly determined the marriage of Cui Di and Wu Yan. What Princess Taiping did not expect was that her daughter Wu Yanzheng was in love with her teacher, let alone Cui Di, and even the emperor had become a turnip cabbage in her eyes. Wu Yan, who got the exact news, cried to Teacher Zhang about the news that he had been betrothed, Wu Yan still had illusions about his love, Teacher Zhang understood very well, he needed to leave the Princess Mansion quickly, otherwise once the matter of the two was revealed, he did not know what the result was, let alone the Princess Taiping, that is, in the eyes of the Cui family, he was just an ant.
But people who love each other want to be separated, where is it so easy! Wu Yan cried a pear blossom with rain, Teacher Zhang was like a liver and intestines, irrepressible, the two of them handed over to each other. Zhang Ruoxuan knew that this disaster he had broken into was not small, so he escaped from the capital overnight and went to Yangzhou.
Teacher Zhang, who fled to Jiangnan, was a little frightened, one night, the river tide was vast, wide as the sea, a round of bright moon rose, the moon was in the sky, the moonlight sprinkled on the river surface like silver, this like the tide of the river is like born of the moon, this scene inspired the poet's feelings, coupled with the thinking of life and destiny, "Spring River Flower Moon Night" spewed out.
The river mentioned in the poem has different interpretations by later generations, some say that it was crossed in Guazhou, some say that it was the Qu River in the southern suburbs of Yangzhou, and the scholar Gu Ren believes that it should be on the bank of the Yangtze River. It is not clear where it is, but this does not prevent us from appreciating the poem:
Spring River Flower Moon Night
The tide of the Spring River is connected to the sea level, and the bright moon on the sea is born together. With the waves of thousands of miles, where the spring river has no moon!
The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlit flowers and forests are like thunderbolts; the frost in the air does not feel flying, and the white sand on the Ting cannot be seen.
Jiang Tian was free of fibrous dust, and the lonely moon wheel was in the sky. Who first saw the moon on the riverbank? When did Jiang Yue shine at the beginning of the year?
Life is infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue looks similar every year. I don't know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water.
The white clouds went to a leisurely place, and qingfeng pu was overwhelmed with sorrow. Who's flat boat tonight? Where is Acacia Mingyue Building?
Poor upstairs Moon Pei Hui, should take care of the people makeup mirror table. The jade curtain could not be rolled up, and the anvil was whisked back.
At this time, they do not hear each other, and they are willing to shine month by month. The long flying of the wild geese is not enough, and the ichthyosaurs dive into the water.
Last night's idle pond dream fell flowers, poor spring half did not return home. The river flows in the spring, and the river pool falls and the moon slopes to the west.
The oblique moon sinks into the sea fog, and the jieshi Xiaoxiang infinite road. I don't know how many people returned by the moon, and the falling moon shook the river tree.
In the first four sentences, the poet uses a word "sheng" to give the spring, river, and moon a sense of flow of life, and also makes this night not only lonely, but also more subtle and affectionate emotional flow. The fifth and sixth sentences lead out the "flower", so far, the elements of "spring, river, flower, moon, and night" are all pointed, and the long and quiet mood of the mood, the reader's attention point is first, it feels as if it is immersive, and the other is very concerned about what kind of state of mind the poet is in at this moment.
Next, the poet will focus on the "lonely moon", which focuses on life, the poet seems to be masterful, saying "the generations are endless", but he also said that "the years look similar", which is clearly sentimental. But the reader does not feel a decadent or depressed mood, but feels that a philosopher is thinking. If you relate to Zhang Ruoxuan's life experience during this time, it is not difficult to understand that he has both self-satisfaction, self-confidence, and helplessness, inability and regret. Reading this paragraph that writes "month", the reader has a strong feeling that it will fall into thinking. What is the source? This is the thinking of Zhang Ruoxuan, who is in his fifties, the warm and rational thinking of a mature and talented man, and also expresses the poet's love for life and spiritual pursuit of lofty feelings, and this paragraph seems to be more appropriate to say sexy.
Later in the text, "Flat Boat", "Bright Moon Building" and "Moon Wandering" appear, which is talking about their own lovesickness, as well as imagining the lovesickness of the woman in the boudoir to the lover, and there are sorrows and tears in the lovesickness. The moonlight tends to shine on the boudoir, which is very sad. Under the same moonlight, one person chews on the shore of the spring river tide, and the other person also wanders in the boudoir, although thousands of miles apart, it is the same as acacia. Finally, it is said that it is stirring up emotions, and it is like talking about emotion. It is the poet who knows that this situation has fallen, but is still willing to keep hope in his heart, and he has no choice but to comfort himself and leave others in this way.
Teacher Zhang's feelings are so delicate, from this beautiful line of poetry, perceive the beauty of this relationship. It is no wonder that Teacher Zhang, who is in his fifties, can make the young girl Wu Yan fall in love. The love between the two has become a tragedy, but this feeling is precious, at least, it strongly inspired Teacher Zhang's creative inspiration, leaving a breathtaking "Spring River Flower Moon Night".
Wu Yan married Cui Di according to the marriage contract, after marriage, Cui Di complained to Princess Taiping, saying that Wu Yan was no longer a virgin, in fact, Princess Taiping also understood that it was the good deeds done by Teacher Zhang, but how to pursue responsibility? Don't say that Zhang Ruoxuan had fled long ago, even if he was still in the capital, if it was really a big effort, whether it was himself, Wu Yan or the Cui family, there would be no good result except for shame.
As for Wu Yan, she is obsessed with Zhang Ruo, coupled with her husband's indifference to her, the marriage is only maintaining a superficial form.
