What is the rhyme of Jiangnan?

Jiangnan memory

Author: Bai Juyi

The scenery in Jiangnan is very beautiful, and the picturesque scenery has long been familiar. When spring comes, the sun rises from the river, the flowers on the river are brighter than red, and the green river is greener than the blue grass. How can we make people not miss Jiangnan?

Jiang Nanyi, the most memorable is Hangzhou. Looking for laurel trees in Zhongshan Temple in the month, watching the tide on the pillow in the county pavilion. When will you revisit?

Jiang Nanyi, followed by Wu Gong. Wu Yi cup of spring bamboo leaves, Wu Wa dance lotus drunk. Will we meet again sooner or later?

Bai Juyi once worked as a secretariat of Hangzhou, stayed in Hangzhou for two years, and later worked as a secretariat of Suzhou for more than a year. When he was young, he roamed the south of the Yangtze River and lived in Suzhou and Hangzhou. It should be said that he knows a lot about Jiangnan, so he was deeply impressed. Twelve years after he returned to Luoyang from Suzhou, he wrote these three poems recalling Jiangnan at the age of 67, which shows that the scenery of Jiangnan is still vivid in his mind.

It's not easy to sum up the spring scenery in Jiangnan in a dozen words, but Bai Juyi skillfully did it. Instead of describing the flowers and warblers commonly used in the south of the Yangtze River, he began to write with the river as the center, showing the bright and dazzling spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River through the contrast between "red wins fire" and "green as blue". In the poems of the great poet Du Fu, we can often see descriptions in different tones, such as "two orioles singing green willows, a row of egrets soaring into the sky" and "Jiang Niao is too white, and the mountains are green and the waters are white". Two different colors set each other off to make the poem bright and picturesque. Bai Juyi took the same road, which can also be seen from his poems, such as "The sunset glow burns red, the clear sky is bluer than blue", "Spring grass is more dreamy when it is green, and the sunset glow is red near Chang 'an", "The green waves are east and west, and the red column is 390 bridges". Therefore, in Bai Juyi's works, the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River has been colored since the first day, and the river flowers (perhaps splash) and rivers have formed our imaginary pictures because of the way of drying and dyeing, which are dazzling in color and rich in layers, and hardly need more associations. Spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River has come to my face.

What is Bai Juyi's longest impression in Hangzhou since I can't forget Jiangnan? The ancient book says: "Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou is rich in osmanthus. The monk in the temple said,' Plant this month.' Up to now, watching the night in the Mid-Autumn Festival, children often fall, and monks try to pick it up. "Since monks in the temple can pick it, it seems that Bai Juyi deliberately picked it when he was in Hangzhou, and he also went to Lingyin Temple many times to look for Na Yue's laurel seeds, just to appreciate the osmanthus flowers on the moonlit night in Sanqiu. Bai Juyi is a poet, and naturally he has a romantic temperament. On the moonlit night of osmanthus fragrans in August, he lingered under the moon, sometimes looking up at the moon, and sometimes looking down to see if there were laurel trees flying in the shadow of osmanthus fragrans. What a beautiful and moving picture this is. One is to find words, and emotion and scenery blend together, meaning and scenery blend together, poetic and fascinating.

Perhaps, laurel in the middle of the moon is just a legend, so the wonders of Qiantang River do exist. You may not find the seeds of laurel, but the tidal head is a truly visible and deeply felt landscape. Qiantang River flows from southeast to northeast of Hangzhou and reaches Haimen into the sea. Qiantang River flows from Haimen day and night every day, which is very spectacular. Qiantang bore has the largest tidal current on the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and the tidal head can reach tens of feet. Because of this, Bai Juyi wrote that he was lying in the pavilion of the county government, and he could see the snowy tide, which was full of interest. In the first sentence, I went to the temple to look for the beautiful legend. In the second sentence, I was lying in bed looking at the surging qiantang bore, moving and quiet, from which I could get a glimpse of the psychological activities contained in the author's heart, and maybe I could feel the unforgettable Hangzhou.

The third song is about Suzhou. Wu wine and a cup of spring bamboo leaves. Some people may say that Zhu is not Wu wine. What is this? On the one hand, bamboo leaves and hibiscus are double in the next sentence. On the other hand, "spring" is an adjective here. The so-called spring bamboo leaves do not necessarily refer to bamboo leaf green wine, but to wine that can bring spring. Bai Juyi said in another poem that "the bamboo leaves in the urn are ripe in spring", but in the middle Tang Dynasty when Bai Juyi lived, many famous wines were named after the word "spring", such as "spring rich in water" and "spring every other spring". Most literati love wine, and Bai Juyi is no exception. Drinking Wu wine and watching "Wu Wa Shuang Dance" is like the dance of drunken hibiscus. Baby is a kind of beauty. Stone is called "baby", and the house built for her by Fu Cha, the king of Wu, is called "Guanwa Palace". Perhaps Bai Juyi wrote this because of his association with the stunning beauty stone. Ten years later, in Luoyang, he recalled drinking and watching dance, and could not help but sigh: "See you again sooner or later?" . Sooner or later, it was said at that time, which means when.

Three words, from now on, recall the past, and finally return to today, from Luoyang to Suzhou and Hangzhou, from today to the past more than ten years ago, today, yesterday, south to north, with a great time and space span. Bai Juyi, who lives in Luoyang, is obsessed with Jiangnan. Looking back on the past, he remembers the most unforgettable past in Jiangnan with infinite affection, which gives him a certain spiritual satisfaction. We read this word today because Bai Juyi's wonderful description can also get some spiritual satisfaction. I don't know whether Bai Juyi wrote it for his own memory or for future generations to appreciate.
