Appreciation of the Beauty of Lotus Rhyme Prose in Qingtang

Scene fusion, dynamic and static combination

In summer, in the clear Chi Pan, a faint fragrance wafts, presenting you with the natural beauty of "the lotus leaves are infinitely green the next day, and the lotus flowers are infinitely red the next day". This is the wonderful enjoyment brought to us by the prose "Lotus Rhyme in a Clear Pool".

He Yun in Qingtang told a very common story that the author personally experienced: a friend brought some lotus seeds from Honghu Lake in Hubei Province, and the author put them in the pond. After years of anxious waiting, the dormant lotus seeds finally broke through the ground and the color was spectacular. When people read this article, they feel that the laws of nature are profound and great. When people read this short article, they felt the profound philosophy in the laws of nature and gained a sense of life from the "power of survival".

The fusion of scenes is a major feature of this article. You see, from the day the lotus seed entered the water, the author's mood was closely related to its fate. Since then, I have an extra job every day and go to the pond to have a look. In the first and second years, although I prayed eagerly, there was no movement of "life" on the water. Even when I was completely discouraged and desperate, the author still had a soft spot for it and looked forward to a miracle. In the third year, although several round green leaves grew in the place where lotus seeds were sown, they were thin, and the author hoped that they would not be reduced while pitying them. Until the fourth year, dozens of branches sprang up overnight and spread rapidly, covering half the pond. At this time, the overjoyed author wandered around the pond at least several times a day, counting the number of lotus flowers with great interest. In the evening, the family sat by the pond and enjoyed the cool fragrance. The author even regards it as a treasure and calls it "Four Seasons Lotus". In this series of descriptions, scenery writing is to set off people's mood, and lyric is to set off the changes of scenery. The living conditions of lotus seeds and lotus flowers are integrated with the author's hobbies, moods and emotions, and become an indispensable part of the author's life. At this time, it has reached the realm of "scenery gives birth to love, love gives birth to scenery, sadness and joy blend, honor and national quintessence welcome guests, and hide their homes with each other".

The combination of static and dynamic is another feature of this paper. When capturing natural scenery, the author is good at blending "dynamic" feelings into "static" scenery, making objects an extension of human activities. For example, lotus seeds stand still in water for one, two or even three years. In the fourth year, the whole pond turned green and half the sky turned red. It is really motionless, and it is amazing when it moves! This contrast between dynamic and static shows the irresistible survival force in nature and is also a true portrayal of the author's life course! Another example is the pond, which is so quiet that people can enjoy the fragrance. Even if a lotus petal falls into green water and red water, it will not break the peace. Surprisingly quiet! But once the little white Persian cat jumped into the water, with a plop, not only people woke up from a deep sleep, but also the moon in the water was smashed. The author grasps the details of the instantaneous dynamic and static transformation between people and things, and describes it with the combination of reality and reality, which reflects the complex influence of things on people's psychology and is full of strong artistic appeal.

He Yun

This poem "Poem Rhyme of the Lotus Pond" is a masterpiece written by Ji Xianlin at the age of 86, which is comparable to Zhu Ziqing's "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond".

A few lotus seeds in Honghu Lake, with the hope and love of the elderly, jumped into Honghu Lake, and a tenacious and noble life began to sprout in the darkness and mud.

If Zhou Dunyi's lotus is a hermit with lofty aspirations and Zhu Ziqing's lotus is a dancer who soothes the soul, then Ji Lao's lotus should be a strong man who publicizes life and a wise man who understands life.

It is hard for us to imagine how lotus seeds secretly accumulate strength and drill the buds of life out of the hard shell in the lonely years, at the barren lake bottom and in the dark mire. Once this kind of bud comes out of its shell, it shows the tenacity and beauty of life with an amazing power. After two years of expectation, in the third year, a miracle finally appeared, and five or six round green leaves emerged from the water. This is the messenger of life! Although "skinny" and "pathetic", it is enough to make that deeply disappointed heart feel a little comfort. More than 1000 days and nights passed, and after a long loneliness, in the fourth year, Lotus completed the nirvana of life. "The cicada is singing in the ditch water of the city, and there are many hibiscus." Some lotus leaves lying on the water jumped out of the water, and the graceful fields "built half a pond". Looking around, there are green lotus seeds everywhere, stirring the rain and reflecting the sunshine. Reminiscent of Ji Lao's life experience, this tenacious and beautiful life, this "extremely amazing viability and extremely amazing communication power", isn't it a true portrayal of the author's life course?

Ji Lao loves this pond full of "auspicious harmony". He walks around the lake several times every day and sits quietly watching. In the pond, "the water surface is clear and round, and the wind and the lotus are lifting one after another" makes people feel restless, silent and lost in thought. This is a dialogue between the wise and nature, and a blend of mind and nature. "When the wind blows, a lotus petal falls into the water." At this time, the heart is already heavy and thick, and the breeze can't afford to blow. Looking at the falling lotus petals, I feel a sense of peace, which is a thorough understanding of life. This lotus has experienced the hardships of pregnancy and the joy of life. Now it will leave quietly, so let it be. It's gone, so elegant and free and easy. Being able to face the disappearance of life with such a detached attitude, Lian is really a wise man who knows life.

As the weather turned cold, the jadeite makeup faded, the pool was full of residual lotus, and then disappeared without a trace. There is no need to lament at this time. What should go will eventually go, and what should come will surely come. In the coming year, the spring water is overflowing, the green is thousand folds, and the pool water is full of red. ...

Lotus in Qingtang and the Rhyme of Life

Qing Tang He Yun is an excellent masterpiece written by Mr. Ji Xianlin at the age of 86. Fresh and elegant, not flashy, concise and smooth writing, straightforward philosophy, simple and sincere feelings. Read it carefully, just like tasting old wine. Its aroma is overflowing and its charm is long, which makes people aftertaste and gasp in admiration.

First, the love of lotus flowers

Lotus is the love of Ji Lao. At the beginning of the article, the author showed great love for lotus. Facing the clear pond in front of the building, he tried to find the lotus "ghosting" left in his memory more than 30 years ago, and always felt as if something was missing. Therefore, every time he sees the clear pond, he always feels like he has a heart attack. Blue waves, green willows blowing water, lotus leaf fields and windward lotus flowers are Mr. Ji's ardent expectations for clearing the pool in front of the building. This expectation naturally turns into "planting lotus". The author is afraid that the "thousand-year-old" Honghu lotus seeds will not germinate, so he uses a hammer to knock out a crack in the lotus seeds. After planting lotus seeds, I have an extra job every day. I went to the pond several times, and an old man felt refreshed. However, in the first and second years, although I prayed eagerly, there was no movement of "life" on the water. Even when I was completely discouraged and desperate, the author still had a soft spot for it and looked forward to a miracle. In the spring of the third year, several round green leaves grew where the lotus seeds fell, which seemed to show the author the hope of the pond. However, the blue pond in front of the building is still just a few lotus leaves like water lilies, which still makes the author spend a "slightly hopeful but still depressed year." These words have been rendered and a lot of pen and ink. I have accumulated enough strength to describe the lotus leaves in the pond. In the fourth year, "a large green leaf suddenly grew overnight", and the lotus leaf spread rapidly, covering half of the pond. At this time, the overjoyed author wandered around the pond at least several times a day, counting the number of lotus flowers with great interest. In the evening, the family sat by the pond and enjoyed the cool fragrance. The author even regards it as a treasure and calls it "Four Seasons Lotus". The author's description of the process of lotus planting, expectation and appreciation is actually the natural expression of the author's love for lotus. The living conditions of lotus seeds and lotus flowers are integrated with the author's hobbies, moods and emotions, and become an indispensable part of the author's life. The author has created a realm of "scene blending" for us, and its scenery and feelings are worth pondering and experiencing repeatedly.

Second, learn the charm of lotus.

Lotus is a "gentleman in a flower", "muddy but not dirty, clear but not demon". The lotus flowers written by Mr. Ji have another charm. In the barren lake bottom and dark mire, it lay motionless for two years a year. Even in the third year, it had only five or six leaves, but in the fourth year, after a long loneliness, the lotus completed the nirvana of life. It turned out that some lotus leaves lying flat on the water jumped out of the water and spread rapidly. In less than ten days, lotus leaves have covered half the pond. "The speed of blade expansion and the speed of expanding range are amazing." Isn't this the embodiment of lotus's strong vitality? "These dazzling lotus flowers, hanging high on the lotus leaves, pose in the wind, as if dazzling everything." Dense lotus leaves and dazzling red lotus flowers are also full of charm because of their tenacious vitality and become a landscape in the author's eyes. Reminiscent of Ji Lao's life experience, this tenacious and beautiful life, this "extremely amazing viability and extremely amazing communication power", isn't it a true portrayal of the author's life course? Facing the fallen lotus petals, the author also described them in detail: "When the wind blows, a lotus petal falls into the water. It falls from above, but the reflection in the water falls from below, and finally touches the water surface. The two become one and float there like a boat." Reading this article, we seem to be enjoying a very wonderful picture. Under the moon, the lotus pond is sparkling, and a lotus leaf is inadvertently blown off by the breeze, with its reflection and petals floating. The whole picture is vivid and delicate, soft and quiet. It seems to enlighten us: this lotus has experienced the hardships of gestation and the happiness of life, but at this time it is so calm, so elegant and so free and easy to the disappearance of life. Lotus is a wise man who knows how to live. From this, we can also appreciate Ji Lao's open-minded, detached and rich life realm.

Third, show the charm of lotus.

Lotus is fresh and natural, elegant and vulgar. The language of this article is simple, concise, natural and fresh, which can be said to have won the charm of lotus. When describing the scene of the lotus pond under the moon, the author "quietly sucks the fragrance of lotus leaves" and sees that "a lotus petal falls into the water when the wind blows". The combination of dynamic and static, nuanced, presents a quiet, serene, soft and fresh picture for readers. There is no deliberate embellishment or excessive exaggeration here. It is very natural to show the quiet beauty of nature in the description of letters. Look at the description of Can Lian at the end of the article: "The weather has suddenly turned cold these days, as if it had suddenly turned from summer to autumn." "In another month or two, even the residual load will disappear without a trace when the water freezes. At that time, the lotus will probably hibernate under the ice and dream of spring. Their dreams will surely come true. " This is a fictional text, in which the author entrusts a good blessing to the residual load, and it is also the embodiment of the author's life ideal. It can't be simpler, but the feelings are deep and thick. When we read this passage, we can not only feel the good wishes of an old man to Holland, but also feel the heaviness and sureness of the old man. It is like a lotus in clear water, simple and solemn, full of charm. In addition, the clever use of ancient poems and sentences, such as writing about the scene of lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond, uses Yang Wanli's "After all, the scenery of the West Lake is different from that at 4 June." The next day, the lotus leaf is infinitely blue, and the lotus in the sun is red. " Write about the quiet of the lotus pond under the moon, and use Wang Ji's "cicadas make Lin Jing quieter, Tonamiyama quieter", and so on. This not only increases the meaning of prose, but also makes the article have fresh and elegant poetic beauty.
