Analysis and Interpretation of the Poem "Lotus Pond under the Moon"

I'm very upset these days. Sitting in the yard enjoying the cool tonight, I suddenly remembered the lotus pond I walked through every day. It should look different under the light of this full moon. The moon rises gradually, and the children's laughter on the road outside the wall can no longer be heard; My wife is patting and skipping in the room, humming a sleeping song in a daze. I slipped on a big shirt and ran out the door.

Along the lotus pond, there is a winding little cinder road. This is a secluded road; Few people walk during the day, and it is lonely at night. Around the lotus pond, there are many trees and lush. On one side of the road, there are some willows and some trees with unknown names. On a moonless night, the road is gloomy and a little scary. It's fine tonight, although the moonlight is still very weak.

I was the only one on the road, walking around with my hands behind my back. This world seems to be mine; I also like to go beyond my usual self and go to another world. I love excitement and peace; Like to live in groups, like to be alone. Just like tonight, under this boundless moon, a person thinks about everything and thinks nothing, and feels like a free person. What must be done and said during the day can be ignored now. This is the beauty of being alone, and I will enjoy the boundless moonlight with lotus fragrance.

On the winding lotus pond, I look forward to the leaves of Tian Tian. The leaves are high out of the water, like an elegant dancer's skirt. Layers of leaves are dotted with some white flowers, some of which bloom gracefully and some are in bud shyly; Like a pearl, like a star in the blue sky, like a beauty who just took a bath.

The breeze blew, sending wisps of fragrance, like a faint song on a tall building in the distance. At this time, the leaves and flowers also trembled slightly, like lightning, passing through the lotus pond in an instant. The leaves are close side by side, so there are clear wave marks. Below the leaves is flowing water, which is covered and can't see some colors; Leaves are more exposed to the wind.

Moonlight, like running water, falls quietly on this leaf and flower. A thin layer of blue mist floats in the lotus pond. Leaves and flowers seem to have been washed in milk; Like a dream in a sarong. Although it is a full moon, there are faint clouds in the sky, so it can't shine; But I think this is just a benefit-deep sleep is indispensable, and nap is unique.

Moonlight shines through the trees, and the bushes at the height cast uneven and mottled shadows, which are as steep as ghosts; The sparse shadows of curved willows seem to be painted on lotus leaves. The moonlight in the pond is uneven; But light and shadow have a harmonious melody, such as a famous song played in the Vatican.

Around the lotus pond, there are trees far and near, and willows are the most. These trees surround a lotus pond; Only on one side of the path, there are some gaps, which seem to be reserved for moonlight. An example of the color of trees is cloudy, which at first glance looks like a cloud of smoke; But the abundance of willows can be recognized in the smoke. There are distant mountains on the treetops, just a little careless.

There are still one or two lamps leaking through the cracks in the tree. What is listless is the eyes of those who are sleepy. At this time, the most lively are cicadas in the tree and frogs in the water; But the excitement is theirs. I have nothing.

I suddenly remembered the matter of picking lotus. Lotus picking is an ancient custom in the south of the Yangtze River. It seems to have a long history, but it flourished in the Six Dynasties. You can get a rough idea from this poem. Lotus pickers are teenage girls, swinging boats and singing bright songs. Needless to say, there are many lotus pickers. It was a lively season and a romantic season. Emperor Liang Yuan put it well in "Lotus Picking Fu":

So the demon is a virgin, and she wants to boat; The snipe makes a first promise and passes the feather cup; I can move, algae can hang, boats can move and sail. Erqi slim waist bundle element, Yan Gubu; After long summer, in late spring, leaves are tender and flowers are early. I'm afraid of touching the petticoats and laughing, and I'm afraid of leaning over the boat and getting together.

It can be seen that there were wandering scenes at that time. This is really interesting, but unfortunately we are not happy now.

Later, I remembered, the sentence in "Xizhou Song":

Lotus is picked in autumn in Nantang, and the lotus is over the head; With his head down, he fiddled with the lotus seeds in the water, which were as green as the lake.

If there are lotus pickers tonight, the lotus here will be considered "over the top"; You can't just see some shadows of running water. This makes me really miss Jiangnan. -think like this, suddenly look up and feel that it is already your own door; Gently pushed the door in, there was no sound, and my wife had slept for a long time.

2. Recommendations:

This article was written in July 1927. At that time, the whole country was in white terror. Like many intellectuals, in the face of bloody reality and confused future, Zhu Ziqing fell into depression and hesitation. Zhu Ziqing has an open and aboveboard personality and a sense of responsibility to society. He is not depressed and always takes it out on poetry. Muttering is different from a shocking cry, but it is also a battle and an echo of history.

Moonlight on the Lotus Pond shows us the cursed era from one side, leaving a clear footprint in the sufferings of intellectuals in old China.

The picturesque beauty of Moonlight on the Lotus Pond is loved and sung by readers from generation to generation. As long as Zhu Ziqing is mentioned, no one does not know Moonlight on the Lotus Pond. The lyrical style of the article and the delicate narrative style of scene blending have deeply influenced the creation and development of China's prose.

Moonlight on the Lotus Pond presents us with a picture of moonlight on the lotus pond in a quiet night, which contains the writer's endless feelings and feelings that cannot be dismissed. The author gets inspiration from the scenery and is lyrical for it.

At the beginning of the article, the author wrote that he was "quite uneasy inside", and he was eager to seek a quiet and free world from his restless mind to his yearning for peace and lotus. "Peace" is exactly what the author longs for. The author has repeatedly emphasized his inner "restlessness" and sought peace in this heavy and depressing atmosphere, which includes the author's painful ideological course.

Moonlight on the Lotus Pond was written in July 1927, just after the failure of the Great Revolution. The harsh reality of the struggle made him fall into extreme depression and hesitation, and naturally he was "quite restless". This paper describes the quietness of the path, the quietness of walking alone, the quietness of the lotus pond and the quietness of the moonlight, while the noise of cicadas and frogs, the customs of picking lotus in the south of the Yangtze River and the excitement of picking lotus make people think that cicadas in the forest are quieter and mountains are more secluded.

In this way, one layer after another constantly reflects the "uneasiness" in my heart, and then makes it clear that "this makes me miss Jiangnan at last" and implicitly and profoundly points out the reasons for "uneasiness". The anguish and troubles brought about by the pursuit and failure of life in Jiangnan can't be cured by any "stillness" and can only be "stolen free moments", which are easily enjoyed in fragrance and cold.

The essence of nature is rich, and people's feelings are also diverse. If people can embody things and talents, then the harmony between man and nature has its own charm. In Moonlight on the Lotus Pond, the author doesn't seem to have changed, but it always makes people feel that the author's upright and bright festival is spread out in the boundless "silence" of the moonlight on the lotus pond, shrouded in fallen leaves in the fields and flowing water.

2. Theme of the work:

Moonlight on the Lotus Pond is a masterpiece of modern lyric prose. The article describes the beautiful scene of moonlight in the lotus pond, implicitly and euphemistically expresses Mr. Zhu Ziqing's complex thoughts and feelings of dissatisfaction with reality, longing for freedom, and wanting to be detached from the present, but unable to do so, leaving a trail for the upright intellectuals of old China to wander forward in suffering.

Give the author a political thought of longing for the future. Exposed the darkness of Chiang Kai-shek's social rule and his patriotic enthusiasm for saving the country.

This essay takes the whereabouts of "I" swimming in the lotus pond at night as a clue, starting from "rushing out of the door" and ending with "pushing through the door". In the process of visiting the lotus pond at night, the author sometimes walks slowly, sometimes stops to meditate, and presents the surrounding environment of the lotus pond, lotus leaves and lotus flowers, moonlight and trees and mountains near and far to the readers one by one. The readers seem to follow him all the way to watch and appreciate "the boundless moonlight of the lotus pond".

This essay euphemistically and delicately describes the quiet and hazy moonlight in the lotus pond, expresses the author's dissatisfaction with the dark reality and yearning for freedom and light, and also reveals the wandering and depressed mood of an upright intellectual at that time.
