Appreciation of Xiaoya Gunn's Works

This is a song to congratulate the completion of the aristocratic palace of slave owners in the Western Zhou Dynasty. "Preface to Mao Poetry" says: "Four Cadres" is also Wang Xuan's examination room. Jian Zheng said, "Take the exam and get it." . ..... So Xuan Wang built a palace to sleep, which was very successful, and the poem "Four Cadres" in Song Dynasty was left behind, and it was called a room. "Shi Mao's Biography of Poems of Chen Huan in Qing Dynasty makes this more clear. He said, "If you run away, your room will be greatly damaged. If you take the throne, you will restore the civil and military affairs. So the cloud examination room is not good. "It seems that by praising the completion of the palace, it also praised the revival of Wang Xuan. However, there are different opinions about whether the palace was built when it was called the king, and whether this poem was dedicated to the king. Some say it's Wu Wang Gao Ying, others say it's Wang Cheng Ying Luo. What's more, I don't know when, Song Zhuxi's "Biography of Poetry" said: "This building has been finished, but Yan drinks it because of the song." Yu Run's Primitive Book of Songs in the Qing Dynasty also refuted the theories of King Wu, King Cheng and King Xuan, only saying: "Sigan is also a public examination room. It seems that there is no historical basis for the statement, and Zhu Hefang's statement is relatively objective.

So whether this poem is a word of "worry", a song of "falling" or a song of "swallow" is debated endlessly. Trouble, "Shuowen" said: "Blood sacrifice is also." It is Jian Zheng's saying that "when the ancestral temple is built, the ancestors are sacrificed", which is a ceremony to sacrifice ancestors by smearing the palace with sacrificial blood; Kong's Autumn and Shi Mao Justice in Tang Dynasty are also called Joy. Falling is completion, and joy is celebration. It seems to be the lyrics of a song played to celebrate the inauguration of the palace. Of course, you can also hold an inauguration ceremony with a ceremony of offering sacrifices to your ancestors and blood. So this is a song sung by the slave owners and nobles when the palace was completed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is not a big problem.

The poem consists of nine chapters, seven sentences in chapters 1, 6, 8 and 94, and five sentences in chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 and 75. The sentence pattern is uneven, which makes people feel neither stagnant nor bloated, and it is quite distinctive in Song Ya's chapters.

As far as the content of the poem is concerned, the whole poem can be divided into two parts. The first chapter to the fifth chapter mainly describes and praises the palace itself; Chapters six to nine are mainly about wishes and praises to the palace master.

The first chapter is about the formal victory of the palace and the harmonious friendship between the younger brothers. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, pines and cypresses, elegant situation, superior location, harmonious and friendly brothers, and better. Among them, the phrase "like bamboo shoots, like pine trees" not only praises the beauty of the environment, but also implies the noble character of the owner. It is a pun with profound connotation and shows the author's artistic intention. Then the second chapter explains that the owner built this palace because he "seems to continue his ancestors", that is, he inherited the achievements of his ancestors, so his family would be happier if they lived here. The implication is that their pioneering work will also benefit future generations. This is the key and program to understand the will of this poem, and the poems in the following chapters are also based on this ideological system. The following three chapters describe the architecture of the palace itself, whether far or near, which is magnificent. The third chapter, "Pavilion of the Covenant, Pavilion of the Moon", not only describes the hard and lively labor scene when building the palace, but also writes that the palace building is so solid and tight. The rope rattled when the slate was tied; When the building foundation is compacted, the wooden pestle clangs and is lifelike. It is precisely because the palace building is strong and close, so "wind and rain will be removed, birds and mice will walk together", and the owner's "residence and place" will naturally be happy. Chapter four uses four metaphors to describe the grandeur of the palace and the magnificence of the situation, which can be said to be visual, and describes the shape of the palace with great care, showing the author's rich imagination. If the four chapters only describe the appearance of the palace, then the fifth chapter specifically describes the situation of the palace itself. "colonize its court", the courtyard in front of the house is so flat; "I feel catalpa", the catalpa column in the front and downstairs is so straight; "Rectify", the main hall is spacious and bright; "Bang its ghost", the back room is also clear. Such a palace is naturally very comfortable and peaceful for the owner to live in.

It can be seen that when describing the palace itself, the author goes from rough to concrete, from farsightedness to close-up, from outdoor to indoor, step by step. It first writes about the environment, then the architectural reasons, then the architectural scenes, then the shape of the palace, and then the palace itself. Just like a camera, with the passage of the observation point and the focal length of the lens, it absorbs the objective scenery in a hierarchical and focused way, so that readers can have a complete and specific understanding of the palace. What is more prominent is that each chapter is from things to people, which shows the artistic expression of their characters reflecting each other.

The last four chapters of this poem are praise and wishes to the palace master. The sixth chapter says that the host will sleep soundly and have beautiful dreams after entering this room. The dream of "Xiong Weiwei Bi, Qiu Wei Weiwei Snake" is not only the central word of prayer in this chapter, but also paves the way for the next four chapters. The seventh chapter always writes about the good omen that dreams are occupied by "adults", which indicates that there will be noble women born. Eight chapters write about your man's happiness, and nine chapters write about your daughter's happiness, in an orderly manner. Of course, these greetings are a bit flattering and tacky, but it is reasonable to say something flattering and auspicious to the palace master.

From Chapter 8 to Chapter 9, the author's idea that men are superior to women is very serious. Give birth to a man, "bed to sleep in, clothes to wear and clothes to take off", and wish him "the king of the family" in the future; Giving birth to a daughter is "a place to sleep, a place to wear clothes, and a place to go". I only hope that she "has no manners, only wine and food, and no parents." Men are superior to women. They are treated differently and have different expectations. This should be a reflection of the fashion and consciousness of the times, and it is also of cognitive value to future generations.

Taking the whole poem as a whole, focusing on the description of palace buildings, interweaving narratives and describing scenery, with strong lyricism, can be concrete, vivid and distinctive. Although its ideological value is not great, it is still a wonderful work in Song Ya's poetry.
