Author: Ying Tianqiu (Shangqiu, Henan).
Recently, I read a few poems in the five-character ancient style of Fang Yuzuo's neighbor "Watching the Park Chess Game", and I have gained a lot. Especially the second one:
The horse crossed the west of the river quickly, and the cold wind was hurried.
Pour your heart into the clouds and laugh at this chess.
This little poem is concise and concise, from the point of view of sentence structure: 212, 221, 212, 2111, rich in variety, large jumps, and large blank spaces give people infinite imagination space. Savor it, it contains a lot of life philosophy, which can't help but make people think deeply.
Some people say that life is like chess, and it is really appropriate. Life is like a game of chess that can never be replayed without regrets.
Hurry up and cross the river to the west. "At the beginning of the poem, there is an atmosphere of tension. "Who is this? The reader can't help but ask, "Why do you want to cross the river quickly?" "What's the urgency of him?" The opening sentence suddenly hooks the reader's heart and makes people want to stop.
It's like a scene in our lives, on the road in the early morning, some people ride to work, some people drive to make deliveries, some people take the bus to school, some people take a plane to go on a business trip......They are all "fast horses crossing the west of the river", coming and going in a hurry.
When people come to this world, they are born with all kinds of challenges, such as studying, choosing a career, career, family, etc., and there are always things that cannot be done and hearts that cannot be done. As long as you live, you have to do it, whether it's riding a horse, driving a car, taking a high-speed train, or taking a plane. Cross the west of the river, go to Beijing, go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and return to the east of Henan. It's just that the methods and purposes are different, but in fact, the essence is the same, every day is taking the chess of life and playing the big game of life. Life is like a chessboard, where big chess sets small chess, and small games lead the overall situation.
The second sentence is anthropomorphic, and "cold wind" as a bystander looks anxious! Whistling gibberish, he couldn't help but shout: "Don't go to Hexi, Hexi is dangerous!" "Be careful! Horse legs! "Hurry up the cannon, set up the cannon!" "Nurse the old handsome, protect the old handsome, huh! ”
It seems that the road of "fast horses crossing the west of the river" is not smooth. Life is not easy, life is not smooth sailing, and there are often difficulties and setbacks of one kind or another. The confusion of growing up, the troubles of maturity. On the road of life, there will be countless crossroads, and you will always face difficult choices.
The "cold wind" here is like caring for our parents and family, your every move, every move, all affect their hearts, they can't help but be "anxious", will "babble" nagging, preaching, and even reprimanding. Hate iron does not become steel, and the family cares for a long time. The cold wind wrapped a beloved, hot heart.
The protagonist is hurrying forward, and suddenly, the author "fell in love with the clouds" and came to a sudden brake. Naoto saw the protagonist tighten the reins, put his hands on the pergola, and looked back and forth across the boundary river. "Huh! The clouds are shrouded in mist, and the golden light in the distance is dazzling, something is wrong. Horses, my old fellow, we must not act rashly, and we must not transgress the red line, or we may slide into the abyss from which we will never recover. ”
In life, we will face a lot of **. Greed has made many people prisoners, and even died. In the face of **, the original intention cannot be forgotten, and the belief cannot be lost. People, when they do, should "cross the river quickly" and do their best; When it is inappropriate, we must "pour our hearts into the clouds" and do nothing with a pure heart. Notice that there is a word "devotion" here, although "devotion" does not move, it shows the strength of the will and the nobility of character. Lao Tzu said: "Those who win others are powerful, and those who win themselves are strong." "Man's greatest enemy is often himself.
Finally, the whole poem ends with "laughing at this chess", the word "laugh" is used well, it is the finishing touch, and it is thought-provoking. The author writes about chess in real life, and fictional in life. People, don't care about winning or losing the outcome, you should enjoy the process of playing chess. People should laugh at every day and laugh at their own life. Laughter is a strength in life. People who can laugh at life are the real strong people in life.
The beauty and charm of poetry lies in the construction of artistic conception. At the beginning, the author throws out one thing - the game (situation), and then the onlookers "talk in a hurry" (situation), all of which pave the way for the "artistic conception" below. From the third sentence "the heart does not move" to the fourth sentence of "together", the artistic conception is constructed and the artistic conception is opened, and it is broad and far-reaching, allowing the reader to let the association ...... flyThe theme is revealed and thought-provoking. The artistic conception of the poem is good for fiction, but it must be reasonable, and this little poem is very good at this point. Philosophical poems are not easy to write, this poem opens the scene with things, paves the scene with the scene, explains the reason with the feelings, advances layer by layer, and gradually enters the artistic conception, which gives us a hint: poetry should avoid straightforward language and vocabulary piling up. "Words should be shallow" and "text should be song" are the key methods for writing poems.
To read poetry is to understand its feelings, its scenery, its reasoning, and its situation......
