Friends who are familiar with classical Chinese poetry should be well aware of the numbers that often appear in it, such as "one, two, three" and "thousand, hundred, ten thousand". These numbers are prosaic and unremarkable, but when combined with specific words, they bring the work to life and detail. Tang poems, Song poems, and Yuan songs thus shine.
Shao Yong, a philosopher in the Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem based on numbers to show the magic of numbers. Among them, "one goes to two or three miles, and there are four or five Yan villages." There are six or seven pavilions, **Ten Flowers" presents a wonderful combination of numbers and words.
**, one of the most outstanding romantic poets in modern China, his poems inherit the classical tradition, and more than eighty percent of his works contain numbers from "one, two, three, four, five" to "hundreds, thousands, thousands, and billions". What role do these numbers play in the poetry of ***?Let's enjoy it together.
In the Book of Changes, "Heaven and Earth" expresses the symbol of Tai Chi, and "One" represents "beginning". * In "Seven Laws and Comrade Guo Moruo", "As soon as the wind and thunder rise from the earth, there will be a pile of refined white bones", "one" implies "since ......."Begin".
Not only that, "one" is also used as an adverb in ***'s poems, such as "a singing rooster in the world" in "Huanxi Sha and Mr. Liu Yazi", and "a pillow of yellow sorghum goodbye" in "Qingping Le Jiang Gui War".
In "Spring Snow in Qinyuan", in "A Generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan", "one" and "generation" are combined to form quantitative words, showing the flexible use of numbers. In "Picking Mulberries Chongyang", the "one" of "the annual autumn breeze is exhausted" is repeated to emphasize the slow and long passage of time.
The number "two" represents "earth" in the poem of ***. Although its frequency is not high, in "Qingping Le Liupan Mountain", "20,000 Finger Strokes" shows its realistic use.
The number "three" represents all things, echoing Lao Tzu's "Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things" in the Tao Te Ching. In "Five Laws to Look at the Mountain", in "Three on the North Peak, Hangzhou One Looks at the Sky", "three" does not mean that *** has climbed the North Peak three times, but that he has climbed to the top "many times".
The number "four" is considered unlucky in modern times, but it was an auspicious number in ancient times. In "Man Jianghong and Comrade Guo Moruo", "the four seas are churning and the clouds are angry, and the five continents are thunderous" skillfully uses the number "four" to form a dual sentence, showing the beauty of numbers.
The number "five" symbolizes "center" in ancient times, and is often combined with "nine" to form "ninety-five", which is the supreme number. In "Water Tune Song Tou Heavy on Jinggang Mountain", "you can go up to the moon for nine days, and you can go down to the five seas to catch turtles" presents the artistic beauty of the number "five" through duality.
As for the number "six", although there are not many poems in ***, "Qingping Le Liupan Mountain" with "Liupan Mountain" as the place name gives a special meaning to this number.
And "hundreds, thousands, and thousands" are frequently used numbers in *** poetry. In "Fortune Operator Yongmei", "it is already a cliff with a hundred zhang of ice, and there are still flowers and branches" through the combination of "hundred" and "zhang", exaggerated techniques praise the beauty of cold plums. In "Nian Nujiao Kunlun", "three million jade dragons flew up, stirring up the cold of Zhou Tian" depicts the heavy snow on Kunlun Mountain in an exaggerated way.
In the poems, "hundreds, thousands, and thousands" are the most common numbers, which express the longevity of time, the vastness of space, and the numerousness of quantity. For example, "Kunpeng spreads its wings, 90,000 miles" in "Nian Nujiao Bird Q&A" and "100,000 workers and peasants go to Ji'an" in "Minus Magnolia on Guangchang Road", etc., show the bold style of the work through the exaggeration and imaginary fingers of numbers.
Conclusion: Digital art.
As a broad and profound language, Chinese can express various emotions through the combination of different nouns and verbs, ranging from "one" to "ten", "hundred", "thousand", "thousand", etc. **The deep understanding and flexible use of numbers make his poems rich and colorful, which can be both realistic and fictional, both expressing emotions and creating atmosphere.

This exaggerated use of numbers not only expresses the author's feelings, but also enhances the artistic tension of the poem.
In addition, the symbolic meaning of the number "five" is vividly expressed in "Water Tune Song Heads Heavy on Jinggang Mountain". Through the sentence "you can go up to the moon for nine days, and you can go down to the five seas to catch turtles", ** not only expresses the pride and ambition, but also echoes the supreme image of the combination of "five" and "nine" in ancient culture.
