Speaking of Liu Zongyuan, almost everyone knows his song "Jiang Xue": Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear. Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow.
This poem is very graphic, portraying a person's loneliness to the letter, and has been recited for future generations.
In fact, Liu Zongyuan also has a small landscape poem, such as an elegant painting, it is said that Su Shi is also full of praise for this poem, praising it as "interesting", this poem is Liu Zongyuan's famous work "Fisherman".
"The Fisherman".
The fisherman stayed in the west rock at night, and Xiao Ji Qingxiang burned Chu bamboo.
The sunrise of the cigarette is not seen, and the 欸 (ǎi) is a green landscape.
Looking back at the middle stream of the sky, there are no clouds chasing each other on the rocks.
Since Qu Yuan, poets have been good at using the image of a fisherman to express their inner open-mindedness and peace, and this poem is no different.
Liu Zongyuan was born in the Liu clan in Hedong, and he was also considered a high-ranking family, at the age of 21, he was a scholar and the first, and his reputation was greatly enhanced, and at the age of 26, he participated in the erudite macro vocabulary examination and was awarded an official position. Life seems to be bright, but fate is always elusive.
In the first year of Tang Xianzong's reign (806), Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou because of his participation in the Yongzhen reform, and his ambitions turned into smoke and clouds, he suffered a heavy political blow, pinned his affection on the mountains and rivers of a foreign land, and wrote the famous "Yongzhou Eight Notes", and wrote many poems that chanted the lakes and mountains in the Yongzhou area, "The Fisherman" is one of the masterpieces.
It can be said that this "Fisherman" is a portrayal of Liu Zongyuan's mood at this time, and Tang Songjun tried to translate this poem.
The fisherman would stay on the rocks near the West Mountain at night, get up early in the morning, fetch water from the stream, burn bamboo and cook.
The sun had risen, the fog had lifted, and there was no one around. The fisherman rocked the boat, rowed the boat with a sound, and sailed into the green mountains and green waters.
When the fisherman looked back, the water was rolling in the sky, and a few white clouds were chasing each other on the rocks that had just stopped.
This is a brisk and pleasant landscape poem, picturesque, after reading the poem, the mind has opened an elegant painting, full of color and movement, the realm is wonderful and moving.
This poem can be read together with "Jiang Xue".
When Liu Zongyuan degraded Yongzhou at the beginning, he was politically frustrated, poor and sick, and half a year later, his mother died of poverty"Lonely by all".It is vividly shown in "Jiang Xue".
However, Liu Zongyuan is Liu Zongyuan after all, life sadness is not a lifetime, when he was frustrated, he set his eyes on the mountains and rivers of Yongzhou, wrote the handed down "Yongzhou Eight Records", and left this handed down "Fisherman".
In "The Fisherman", he did not have the loneliness in "Jiang Xue", but instead of the appreciation of the fisherman's comfortable and tranquil life, Liu Zongyuan was relieved in the landscape.
In this poem, the two sentences of "no one is seen at sunrise, and the landscape is green" are particularly praised, and Su Shi praised these two sentences as "interesting".
The fisherman rowed the boat, just like the movie cut, the green mountains and green waters appeared in front of him, which was surprising.
Su Shi praised and also put forward suggestions for amendment, he said: It is best to delete the last two sentences.
Many people agree with this statement, and the Southern Song Dynasty poet Yan Yu's "Canglang Poems": Dongpo deleted the last two sentences, so that Zihou could be resurrected, and he would also be convinced.
Yan Yu also agreed with this statement, and said that if Liu Wanyuan came back to life, he would also be convinced when he heard Su Shi's revision.
Tang Songjun thought, after all, Su Shi read this poem a hundred years later, and he couldn't appreciate Liu Zongyuan's emotion of writing this poem, as a frustrated person, the fisherman walked into his lens, bringing calm and peace, green mountains and green waters, after experiencing the beauty of nature, Liu Zongyuan's mood was much better.
The fisherman who looks back is like Liu Wanyuan looking back at the hardships and ups and downs he has gone all the way, he has gone away and is as indifferent as a white cloud, does it mean that he has let go of the frustrated past?
As the saying goes: don't be shocked by the humiliation, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; Go and stay unintentionally, looking at the clouds in the sky.
