Smoke and rain is a beautiful natural phenomenon often used by ancient Chinese literati and writers to express their emotions. As a moist and delicate drizzle, it not only shapes a hazy and poetic natural landscape, but also occupies an unshakable position in China's rich traditional culture.
Especially in classical poetry, the smoke and rain are often closely connected with this beautiful area in the south of the Yangtze River, and together they form a picturesque ink painting picture, which makes people immersed in it and forget to return.
In the traditional poetry of China, Jiangnan and Yanyu seem to have become eternal companions. Whenever the spring rain continues, the mountains, rivers and fields in the Jiangnan area are shrouded in a thin layer of mist, like an elegant ink painting, which is indescribably beautiful.
In the ancient poems, the swallows are delayed in returning, the spring is reluctant to leave, and the apricot blossoms in the rain show a cold meaning. This is the different flavor that the smoke and rain bring to the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the mystery that countless literati are fascinated by.
Among the many poems that chant Jiangnan, Du Mu's "Jiangnan Spring" is undoubtedly one of the best. With its unique charm, this poem shows the spring color of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River in front of the world, which makes countless people admire.
The scenery depicted in the poem not only has the natural beauty of birds singing and flowers, green shade, but also has historical accumulation and humanistic feelings. Here, people seem to be able to see vivid pictures and feel the endless poetry and romance.
In this short "Jiangnan Spring", Du Mu uses his refined and expressive brushstrokes to outline the infinite scenery of the land of Jiangnan.
He first used the thousands of miles of warblers crying, the green red flowers and green leaves to reflect the vitality of spring, and then through the villages by the mountains and rivers, countless wine flags fluttering in the wind, showing a vivid picture of life.
These seemingly simple sentences contain deep poetry and philosophy, which makes people feel a deep attachment and yearning for Jiangnan in addition to taste.
Let's look at the last two sentences of the poem: "Four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain." The "four hundred and eighty temples" mentioned here are not the exact number, but Du Mu's use of exaggerated techniques to express the scene of many Buddhist temples in the Jiangnan area.
These once-glorious Buddhist temples are now submerged in smoke and rain, like the vicissitudes of time, reminiscent of the vicissitudes of history and the impermanence of the world.
At the same time, this also makes people feel more mysterious and unpredictable about Jiangnan under the shroud of smoke and rain, and makes people full of curiosity and reverie about this ancient place.
Du Mu's "Jiangnan Spring" is not only a simple poem describing the scenery of Jiangnan, but also contains the author's deep thinking about history and reality, as well as the infinite yearning for a better life.
It is through such a rich and vivid picture of the south of the Yangtze River that Du Mu successfully conveyed his endless love for this land, and also made future generations deeply feel the unique charm of the Yanyu Jiangnan, so that people are more and more obsessed with and cherish this place, so that this classical feeling can be passed on endlessly.
