"Lingyang Creek to Shitan in Xiajing County".
- Tang Dynasty Li Bai
The Shibu beach is noisy, and the two mountains are full of apes.
If the white waves are rolled up in snow, the side feet are not allowed to be lifted.
The fisherman and the boatman are holding up thousands of pennies.
This is a description of a place called Shibuya. The river there flowed loudly and continuously, and the mountains on either side were full of lively apes. The white waves in the river rolled like rolled snow, and even a small boat could hardly stand on its side. In such rivers, fishermen and boatmen struggle to bend their pennies, but often the pennies break by the force of the current.
Li Bai's poem is full of vivid descriptions of nature and dynamic scenes. The first sentence, "Shibu Shoal Ringing Noise", directly depicts the sound of the river as it flows in the rocky beach, which is vivid and loud. The "Two Mountain-Footed Apes" depicts a vivid scene of mountain apes, showing a natural and wild beauty.
The second sentence, "white waves like snow", compares the white waves to rolling snowflakes, which vividly expresses the vastness and grandeur of the river, and also implies that the rapidity of the river cannot be easily traversed by small boats. "Sideways footing" further emphasizes the rapidity of the river and the difficulty of navigation.
The last line, "The fisherman and the boatman, holding up a thousand pennies", depicts the fishermen and boatmen fighting against nature, even in difficult circumstances, they persist in fighting the river, showing the indomitable spirit of human beings.
Through the depiction of the Shibu River, the whole poem shows the magnificence of nature and the hardships of human life, and also reflects Li Bai's deep feeling for the natural landscape and his deep concern for human life. Through this description, Li Bai is not only depicting a specific geographical landscape, but also expressing his understanding and perception of life and nature with the help of this landscape.
"Buddha Shrine in Mustard Pond".
- Song Dynasty He Zhu
Between the walls, Wei Xiang, Bi Pingzhong, and Zhang Shizong returned to leave the words, all of which are my deceased.
The green wheat wants to smoke mang, and the mighty east wind is even more crazy at night.
The micro path is broken and the bridge is looking for the ancient temple, and the short hedge and high trees are separated by the horizontal pond.
The door was opened without sweeping the poplar rain, and the cypress incense was burned at night.
At the end of the day, forget the tiredness of the service, and the inscription of the deceased is full of corridors.
On the wall, I found the words left by Wei Xiang, Bi Pingzhong, and Zhang Shizong, all of whom were old friends of mine.
The wheat was growing lush and green, and it was about to spit ears, and the east wind was getting stronger and stronger in the evening.
I walked down the path, across the broken bridge, to find the old temple, separated from the pond by a short fence and tall trees.
When the door was opened, before I had time to sweep away the tidbits of the poplar tree, I lit the incense of the cypress tree.
Here you can forget the tiredness of the journey for a while, and the words left by old friends are all over the corridor.
This poem shows what the poet saw and felt at the Buddha Temple in the mustard pond through the delicate description of the scenery. The poet begins by mentioning the handwriting left by several deceased people, which is not only a nostalgia for friendship, but also adds a layer of history and cultural background to the following depictions. The elements of wheat, east wind, ancient temple, broken bridge, poplar flower rain and cypress incense in the poem create an environment that is both peaceful and full of vitality. Especially when mentioning "open the door without sweeping the poplar flower rain, and burn the cypress incense at night", we can feel the poet's desire to pursue spiritual purification and tranquility. The whole poem not only depicts the beautiful natural scene and the tranquility of the ancient temple, but also expresses the poet's nostalgia for past friendship and the pursuit of peace of mind.
"Dengyu Gangu County".
- Tang Dynasty Liu Changqing
The lonely city is with the white clouds, and the eternal desolation is in the west of Chu Shui.
The official building is empty, and the female wall is still crying at night.
The flat sand is faint and charming, and the sunset pavilion is low to the guests.
The birds don't know how the valley has changed, and they go to Yiyang Creek in the morning and dusk!
This lonely city is tall enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the white clouds, and is located on the west side of Chushui, which has remained desolate for eternity.
The houses of the government were all empty and covered with autumn grass, only the female wall of the city wall remained, and the crows could be heard at night.
The endless flat sandy land makes people feel dazed and lost, and the setting sun shines obliquely on passers-by, which looks particularly low.
The birds didn't know that the valley had changed, they came in the morning and flew to the Yiyang Creek in the evening!
In this poem, Liu Changqing skillfully uses the depiction of natural scenes and ancient city ruins to express his contemplation of history and his emotion about the passage of time. At the beginning of the poem, "On the Lonely City and the White Clouds" creates an atmosphere of detachment and loneliness, and then the desolate scenes and empty official houses depicted further deepen this feeling. The poems "The Female Wall Is Still Crying at Night" and "The Flat Sand is Charming and Remote" not only depict the scene, but also rich in symbolic meaning, reflecting the loneliness of the ancient city and the ruthlessness of time. Finally, through the narrative of "the birds do not know the changes in the valley, and the morning and dusk go to Yiyang Creek", it emphasizes the stark contrast between the vitality of the natural world and the changes in human history. The whole poem has both profound thinking and delicate emotions, showing the poet's deep understanding and feelings of the past and reality, nature and humanity.
"Leaving Tingyan and the Picturesque Landscape".
- Song Dynasty Zhang Yu
The surrounding rivers and mountains are picturesque, and the scenery is chic to autumn.
Where is the flooding and blue sky? The glow of the cold light shines together.
The island of Dihuazhou, covering the bamboo fence hut.
The sails of the clouds are hung high, and the flag of smoke and wine is low.
How many six dynasties have risen and wasted, and they are all gossip about fishing wood.
Leaning on the floor, the red sun is silent.
The whole country is as beautiful as a painting, and the autumn scenery is particularly chic.
That blue and transparent water surface ends in **? The cold light after the sunny weather shines against each other.
The islands overgrown with knotweed and oki flowers loom out of thatched huts surrounded by bamboo fences.
In the distance, the sails of travelers hung from the clouds, and beyond the smoke hung low the wine flags.
Many stories about the rise and fall of the Six Dynasties have become the content of conversations between fishermen and woodcutters when they rest.
I leaned upstairs in amazement and watched the sun sink silently.
In this poem, Zhang Yu skillfully depicts the autumn scenery of the rivers and mountains, combining natural beauty with historical relics, showing a kind of aesthetic taste that is beyond the world.
The beginning of the poem "A Picturesque Belt of Rivers and Mountains" immediately outlines a quiet and vast picture of the rivers and mountains. Subsequently, the poet began with the question "Where is the water flooding and the blue sky breaking?" "Glowing with cold light" further depicts the freshness and beauty of the autumn weather.
Through the description of Tateyu, Dihua and bamboo huts, it shows the scene of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The sentence "the sails are high in the clouds, and the wine flag outside the smoke is low" gives the picture a vivid dynamic beauty, making people feel the loneliness and remoteness of the journey.
The second half of the poem turns into a deep historical emotion, "how many six dynasties rise and fall, all into the gossip of fishing wood" expresses the poet's feelings about historical changes and cherishing ordinary life.
Finally, it ends with "Hopeful Leaning on the Floor, the Red Sun Falling Silently", which not only depicts a magnificent sunset scene, but also implies a contemplation of the past history and a sense of uncertainty about the future.
The whole poem not only has the fresh beauty of autumn and the country, but also has a deep reflection on the vicissitudes of history, showing the poet's profound thoughts and emotions and unique aesthetic vision.
"Biwa".
- Fan Chengda, Song Dynasty
The head of the Biwa building is embroidered and covered, and the green stream is oblique outside the Chilan Bridge.
There is no wind and willows all over the sky, and there are no rain begonia pears all over the ground.
The roof covered with turquoise tiles is covered with embroidered curtains to block the sun, and next to the red railing, there is a meandering green stream.
Even if there is no wind, the catkins of the willows fly all over the sky; Even if it doesn't rain, the flowers of the pear cover the ground.
Fan Chengda sketches a scene full of spring with concise brushstrokes in "Biwa". At the beginning of the poem, "Biwa Loutou Embroidered Banner", through the description of Biwa and embroidered banners, not only depicts the beauty of the building, but also creates a cool and peaceful atmosphere. Immediately followed by the "Green Creek Slope Outside the Chilan Bridge", through the contrast between the Chilan and the Green Creek, the vividness and layering of the scenery are increased.
In the second half of the poem, "the windless willows are all over the sky, and the flowers are all over the ground without rain", through the description of willow catkins and begonia pear flowers, it shows the vitality and beauty of spring. Willow catkins can fly all over the sky even when there is no wind, and pear blossoms can bloom all over the ground even without rain, these details not only depict a spring scene full of vitality, but also convey a kind of artistic conception that the beauty of nature can be displayed without external force.
The whole poem, with its concise and graphic language, vividly captures the beauty of spring. Through these quatrains, Fan Chengda not only shows his delicate observation, but also expresses his love and praise for natural beauty. With its fresh and refined imagery, Biwa has become a model work in Song Dynasty poetry to describe the spring scene.
