Wang Jin: A Mountain Tour on the River

Wang Jin

In July, when I was eight years old, I went to Jingkou, took a boat by land and lived in a secluded temple. In the morning at the rice temple, I found Beigushan overlooking, wandering for a long time, walking around. A few eagles fought for nothing and were still excited about it. Then he lay barefoot on his back on the top of the mountain. Wherever he looked, he went up and down with the eagle and sent them one by one into the pale smoke. Seen from the river, the setting sun is thousands of hectares, facing the river, and it looks like a thousand stoves under the illumination of kitchen smoke. Back to the temple.

The quality is clear and the sentence is gone. Halfway through the meal, it rained heavily and stopped. After returning to Xia Shu Street, it rained heavily again, that is to say, people stayed in the street. Ming quality, to Longtan, there is a report to Huashan. The meal is gone. When the rain washes the air, the color is thousands of miles, the water suddenly falls on all sides, and the water injects things, and the beach sounds accordingly. On the way to the beach, an old monk sat in the belly of a tree and listened to the sound of the beach. He gave the tree a stone and sat opposite the monk, listening to the sound of the beach. After a long time, I arrived at Huashan Road. There were many tall and strange trees around the road, with peaks and cliffs, all the way up to Huiju Temple. Monks in the temple will wait until evening. They want to help. However, I love traveling at dusk, and I will do so.

At that time, the sun had set and fell off the cliff. Looking around Huashan Mountain, there is no place where there is no one but mountains, the breath changes, the afterglow shines, the fields are gray, the forests are barren, the peaks rise and fall, and the houses are hidden. Return to Longtan at night. Clear quality and step into Qixia. The victory of Xixia was covered with turquoise. Cold green, dark green, light blue, the cliff is quite steep, and the forest is undulating, which is indescribable. On the 9th, Song Ke, especially in ancient times, sat under it for a long time, overlooking the sea of clouds, just like clearing the frost in Bai Yue. Those who live in secluded temples have a square pool. When they enter the door, they see clouds hanging down from the pine tips of thousands of feet, hanging down by the pool and making waterfalls. That is, it is a stone wall.

A few days is a trip to the earth, and four days is a trip to Prajna. Step into Jinling and enter the emergency exit.

In fact, this travel note is a travel essay. The full text is less than 1000 words, but it contains the famous mountains and places of interest that the author passed from Zhenjiang to Nanjing. The route goes north along the Yangtze River, so it is called "Mountain on the River", which mainly describes the scenery of Gu Bei in Zhenjiang, Huashan in Jurong and Qixia Mountain in Jinling.

When the author visited these mountains and rivers, he did not pay tribute to the historical sites, lamented the rise and fall of the Six Dynasties and remembered the prosperity of the past. Nor did it describe the majesty of mountains, praise the vastness of rivers, or describe the majesty of mountains. These are all repeated in the poems of predecessors. Based on personal experience, the author expressed his unique feelings of traveling in mountainous areas. For example, Gu Beishan overlooks Jinshan and Jiao Shan, and it is also a battleground for military strategists, which could have been brought into full play. Xin Qiji has a famous saying that "mountains and rivers are eternal, heroes are nowhere to be found, and Sun Zhongmou is there". But when the author wrote it, he only used the words "wandering for a long time and walking". Suddenly, I turned to write down the scene of the eagle hitting the sky, and then I wrote down my excitement: "Lying on the top of the mountain with my head and feet bare, when the sun comes, I will be sent up and down with the eagle, turning into pale smoke one by one." What readers see from this is a vivid picture of people's activities, and the description of the scenery takes a back seat. It is from the author's wandering and action that the beauty of mountains and rivers is laid. Here, the author's personal feelings have been integrated into the natural scenery, and the subject and object are integrated. The charm of mountains and rivers can be seen in his self-portrait "Looking at the Flying Eagle with Bare Head and Barefoot". Another example is the trip to Huashan in Jurong County. I didn't use a lot of pen and ink to describe the shape of the scenery, but wrote down my modality of sitting and listening to the sound of the beach on the way to Huashan. But it is through the image of the old monk and his own experience that readers can see the sound of running water on the beach after the new rain, as well as the fresh and quiet scenery, which reminds people of Cen Can's poem "The wine shadows shake the new moon and the beach sounds the sunset". Pleasant scenery, all in this song Others, such as writing about their twilight journey, write about the situation of sitting in Panasonic for nine years. There are also characters in the scene, full of personality, and the image of a sensual life wanderer is looming. What we see on the mountain is not the usual model mountain, but the embodiment of the author's personality, which is the real experience of Wang Jin here and now, rather than a copy of the map.

This paper also tries to avoid a general description of the scenery intake, trying to portray the most distinctive scenery and objects, just like a clever photographer, avoiding crowded "attractions; And use your own eyes to explore and discover the beauty of nature. For example, writing about Gu Bei's vision should be done in the daytime after "getting up in the morning". But the author didn't write a word in the vision. After wandering and lying down, dusk came, so "from the riverside, the setting sun is thousands of hectares, and the country is against the river. When the smoke is on, it looks like a thousand stoves. "Why does the author wander in the mountains of Gu Bei all day, and only when the twilight is boundless does he describe what he sees from a distance? This is by no means accidental, but the ingenuity arranged by the author, because the Jiangnan and battlements in the sunset photos are the most distinctive, and "like a thousand stoves" is exactly a special feeling of the author at this time. In this way, it is different from the general visit. For another example, the victory of Qixia is attributed to the word "turquoise", so the author focuses on describing pine trees and strange rocks, especially introducing nine pine trees and Youjuan, which are concentrated at different levels and finally condensed at two points, so that the reader's attention is focused on the most distinctive landscape, just like the shooting method of zoom lens in film art, which focuses the audience's attention from surface to point. For example, when writing a stone wall that looks like a waterfall in a quiet buddhist nun, make the finishing point. First, it depicts the picture of thousands of feet Waterfall falling from the sky in the clouds, and then points out this stone wall, which makes the writing jump, thrilling and fascinating.

In a word, this article shows a strong personality color from the layout of cutting materials to the description of scenery, which not only reflects the author's love for nature, but also reflects his personal interest. Such as lying on the top of the mountain, staring at the eagle, listening to the sound of the beach, sitting still, etc., all show a kind of psychology of wanting to be in harmony with nature and pursuing detachment. In Twilight, the author arranged descriptions of Beigu Mountain in Zhenjiang and Huashan Mountain in Jurong, which showed his special interest in "the journey of sunset" and reflected his yearning for quiet atmosphere and pursuit of hazy beauty. His mood is as clear as that of first frost and Bai Yue he sketched.
