Appreciation of the whole poem 1

This poem is about an exploration. The result of the search is "not met".

"When I asked your students, under a pine tree" is a question, and the following three sentences are answers. The question is extremely concise. There is no need to write clearly who asked and what, because the title and answer of the poem are clearly explained. The answer is the meaning of this poem, "My teacher," he replied, "went to collect medicine." The young man said that the master went to the mountains to collect medicine. This sentence is a complete answer, but if you stop here, there will be no poetry. In his reply, the child added: Master is in this mountain, somewhere in the fog, but no one knows where. The word "only in" which corner of the mountain "is a very positive tone, as if giving a clear answer, but where can I find" through so many clouds, how do I know? " ? After talking for a long time, it still equals zero. However, these two sentences are not superfluous. They are not only naive, but also have wonderful meanings. This is not to show off your breath on purpose, but the kind of one-liners that you often get unintentionally in life. It vividly reflects the hermit's unique life interest and sentiment. By describing the mysterious whereabouts of "hermit" in the clouds, this poem vaguely reveals his spiritual outlook of leading an honest and clean life and getting rid of the hubbub.

Visiting the "unfortunate" is usually a disappointing thing. But after reading this poem, you will find "Seeking the Custom" different. Children's innocent answers lead people to lofty artistic conception, giving people a feeling of facing the mountains surrounded by white clouds, thinking that there must be a different world and fun in that lonely place with a noble scholar moving freely. The poem ends with a child's answer. Although I didn't directly write the explorer's reaction, after reading it, people felt that he would not come back immediately, but would stand in Panasonic and be fascinated by the depths of the cloud for a long time.

Poetry is a kind of five-element poem, which is short and archaic in reading, and its content and form are unified.

Appreciation of whole poems II

Poetry reflects social life and describes objective things, which can be described directly from the front or indirectly from the side. Direct description is concise and lively, indirect description is tortuous and obscure. As long as the poet embarks from the needs of life and art and arranges skillfully, no matter which expression method is adopted, he can write exquisite works.

The author of this poem went to visit a hermit, but didn't see him. Through the dialogue with the boy, he reflected the wandering and unrestrained life of the hermit. The first sentence "When I asked your students, it was under a pine tree" is very natural. We can imagine that the author visited his friend with great interest and trudged through the mountains, but he didn't find the hermit. Fortunately, he saw his apprentice under the green pine tree and asked eagerly. Judging from the word "Zi" in the second sentence, all the answers come from this boy. His answer is original, true and credible, which not only provides Master with the search for people and medicine, but also gives the author hope to find it. He also pointed out that Master but toward which corner of the mountain was surrounded by dense forests and white clouds. Disciples can't tell exactly where it is, and guests can't find it. Dozens of words under the word "Yan" are both tortuous and interesting, vividly describing the hermit's wandering life and his deep environment.

In lyric short poems, you can describe specific characters and scenes and arrange simple plots. Many excellent poets in ancient China were good at writing such simple lyric short poems. In these poems, poets do not need to express their feelings directly, but pour out their strong feelings through the description of characters, pictures and scenes. Jia Dao's "Li Sao" is unique in Tang poetry because of its overlapping characters, plots and dialogues, unpretentious language and being suitable for spoken English.

Make an appreciative comment

In the Tang Dynasty, there were several poems with the theme of seeking seclusion. Jia Dao's suicide note is most admired by later generations. The artistic conception of Ye Wei's four-line poem is similar to Jia's poem "I asked your students, under a pine tree", and he replied, "My teacher, go to collect herbs". However, through these clouds, how can I know which corner of the mountain it is facing? People don't know who the hermit is in the title of the poem. Ye Wei himself was a famous hermit in the early Song Dynasty. He had contacts with many hermits, which reflected this aspect of the poet's life. He wrote that hermits looked for each other but never met each other. Compared with Jia Dao's poems, although the topic is the same, the internal meaning is obviously different. In Jia Dao's poem, the hermit asks, "How can I tell, through all these clouds?" But, after all, "but to which corner of the mountain" still has a goal. The hermit in this poem is more wandering and elusive.

In the first sentence, "looking for the truth and straying into Penglai Island" pointed out the place to look. Hermit seems to be a Taoist, and poets call him a "real person", which makes him immortal, showing his admiration. The word "mistake" not only shows that the poet came here unconsciously, but also shows his surprise at this lonely scene. "The fragrant wind does not move the pine flowers" has the scenery he saw. The fragrance is still, and the pine blossoms fall, which shows the seclusion of the hermit.

The third sentence "where Cai Zhiyong didn't return" is a turning point. Although the question was omitted from Jia Dao's poem, one boy answered it, and Ye Wei also omitted the object of the question. He asked himself and answered: there are white clouds everywhere, without a trace. The hermit must have picked Ganoderma lucidum. Ganoderma lucidum, which has always been regarded as an elixir of life, grows in deep forests and cliffs and is not easy to get. It is difficult to determine when the hermit will come back. Although the poet failed to meet a hermit, he yearned for it. He stood here, looking at the distance, vaguely revealing his lost mood. The poem is finished, but the sound is not finished.

Among the poets in the early Song Dynasty, Ye Wei's style was close to that of the Tang Dynasty. The book History of Song Dynasty originally said: "Wild poems are bitter, with Tang style and many cautionary sentences". In addition to a poem by Jia Dao, people in the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem like "Come out of the water to recognize the rooftop, and come alone and get drunk." Where did the melancholy fairy Weng go? The courtyard is full of red apricots and green flowers. "Li Shangyin said," there are few people who know the city, and there are Chai Fei where apes crow. Fishing in Baishiqiao, Cangjiang River, is full of clothes and snow at dusk, and Wei's "nine days to drive a day off, looking for a gentleman but not meeting, returning to empty space to complain about poetry and clearing people's bones, and the door is full of cold wind and snow" are all excellent works in Tang poetry. "Elegance" (Cai Yu) is the general style of these poems. Ye Wei has never been an official in his life. He lives in a secluded place surrounded by clear springs and facing Yunshan (Biography of Song History). True sectarian envoys called him, and he "fled over the wall behind closed doors" ("History of the Song Dynasty" Volume I). He is a real hermit, and his poem "A note for the absent" is even more elegant than "Leisure". His predecessors called his poetic style "plain but not empty words" (Jade Pot unofficial history). This poem adopts pure line drawing technique, with lush pine trees and long white clouds, which constitutes a distinct artistic image. Introduce fragrance into the poem to add luster to the whole picture. All these show the nobleness of hermits and express the poet's yearning.
