Shanglian: rain sprinkles pastoral thousand leaves tears;
Downlink: The wind blows the willows and sorrows.
Shanglian "Rain Sprinkles Pastoral Thousand Leaves Tears" depicts a poignant and moving pastoral picture. The rain, like the tears of heaven, fell one after another, making every leaf in the countryside seem to carry endless sorrow, and they hang low, as if they are silently weeping. This picture not only expresses the emotional integration of nature and people, but also implies people's awe and care for life and nature.
The lower link "The Wind Blows the Willows and Ten Thousand Sorrows" inherits the emotions of the upper link, and uses the wind as a medium to further sublimate the emotions. The wind blows gently, and the thousands of branches of the willows sway, as if telling endless sorrow. The "sorrow" here is not only the continuation and deepening of the "tears" of Shanglian, but also the expression of the complex emotions intertwined with nature and life. Willow, as a classic image in traditional Chinese culture, symbolizes parting and longing, which forms a sharp contrast with the pastoral and raindrops of Shanglian, but it has reached a high degree of emotional unity.
Through the depiction of natural scenes, the upper and lower couplets skillfully express people's deep perception of nature and life. The rain on the countryside makes people feel the gift of nature and the fragility of life; The wind blowing willows in the lower link makes people feel the clutch of life and the lingering emotions. Between the two couplets, there is not only the coherence of the scenery, but also the progression of emotions, forming a complete and philosophical picture.
In addition, this couplet has reached a high level in terms of word count, rhyme and artistic conception, which meets the basic requirements of couplet. They use nature as the medium and emotion as the line to show the harmonious relationship between man and nature vividly, and also convey people's deep attachment and awe for life and nature. Such couplets not only have artistic value, but also have profound ideological connotations, which are worthy of people's careful taste and understanding.
