Wang Shizhen's Original Works _ Translation and Appreciation

Wang Shizhen (1634—1711), formerly known as Wang Shizhen, was named Ruanting, also known as Yuyang Mountain, and was called Yan. People from Xincheng (now Huantai County, Shandong Province), who often call themselves Jinan people, are outstanding poets, scholars and writers in the early Qing Dynasty. Learned and ancient, he can distinguish the genus of books, paintings and Ding Yi, seal cutting fine stones, and poetry is a master of a generation, also known as Zhu Yizun. Calligraphy is as beautiful as gold. After money, Kangxi dominated the poetry world. On the creative charm of poetry. In his early years, his poems were beautiful and beautiful, but after middle age, they became vigorous and powerful. Good at each body, especially the Seven Wonders. But it failed to get rid of the imitation of ancient times by the seven sons. At that time, people called it "Shuai Li Yulin", but many people passed on his mantle. I like to take notes, such as "Occasionally Talking about Red Equipment", "Miscellaneous Notes of Gu Fuyu Pavilion" and "Notes of Xiangzu", but how wrong and inappropriate it is to argue and refute. Wang Shizhen's life Wang Shizhen was born into an official family for generations, and his grandfather Wang Xiangjin was the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. Shi Zhen was born in an official family, and his grandfather called him Yu Sun. I entered school at the age of five and read the Book of Songs at the age of six or seven. In the seventh year of Shunzhi (1650), he won the first place in the county, government and road, and had a poetic title with his eldest brother Wang Shilu, his second brother Wang and his third brother Wang Shizhen. In the fifteenth year of Shunzhi (1658), he was a scholar in the Reform Movement of 1898. At the age of 23, I visited Jinan and invited literary celebrities from Jinan. * * * On the water pavilion of Daming Lake, four autumn willow poems were presented at the scene. This poem has spread all over the country, and there are many writers in the north and south. At that time, it was called "Qiuliu Poetry Society" by the literary world, which was famous all over the world. Later generations named an alley on the northeast bank of Daming Lake "Autumn Willow Garden", referring to the place where Wang Shizhen chanted autumn willow.

In the 16th year of Shunzhi (1659), he was appointed as the secretariat of Yangzhou, and in the 17th year of Kangxi (1678), he was summoned by Emperor Kangxi, transferred to the south study room. In the forty-third year of Kangxi (1704), the official was the minister of punishments. Soon, because of the Wang Wu case, he was dismissed for the crime of "looking ahead and looking back" and returned to his hometown. In the forty-ninth year of Kangxi (17 10), Emperor Kangxi mourned the old minister and ordered the official to be reinstated. In order to avoid Yongzheng, he changed his name to Zheng Shi. Gan Long gave a letter to Zhen He, a celebrity. But since then, the world, including the orthodox history of China literature, has actually called it "Wang Shizhen" or "Wang Shizhen".

The Summary of Sikuquanshu said: "At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, everyone was tired of the skin contours of Wang (Shizhen) and Li (Panlong) and the slim appearance of Zhong (Xing) in the Ming Dynasty, so poets competed for Song and Yuan Dynasties. Then the quality of Song poetry is straight, flowing into rhyming quotations; Yuan poems are colorful and flow into antithetical words. Therefore, Shi Zhecun and others criticized the romantic with their fresh and elegant talents, and advocated that the world said that' a word is inconsistent, it is romantic', and the world responded. " Qian Zhongshu commented on Wang Yuyang's poem in Tan Yi Lu: "Fragments are not real dragons".

Wang Shizhen's poems are fresh, his writing is good, and his prose and words are excellent. His verve theory originates from the nature and implication in Tang Dynasty and the quip and interest in Song Dynasty, and takes "not writing a word, being romantic" as the key to writing poetry. In poetry, there are many poems about the scenery and stories of Jinan. He once commented on Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio and wrote a poem for Pu.

He has written more than 500 kinds of works and more than 4,000 poems in his life, mainly including The Tales of Fishermen, Collection of Silkworm Tails, Miscellanies of Chibei, Notes of Xiangzu, Juyilu, Introduction to Fishery Literature, Collection of Fishery Poems, Classic Collection and Feeling Old. In the fourth year of Kangxi (1665), Wang Shizhen was promoted to be a doctor of the Ministry of Agriculture and became an official in Beijing. At that time, talented people and poets gathered in Beijing, which provided a stage for Wang Shizhen to display his talents. In poetry creation, he put forward the theory of "verve" and created a poetic style. Wang Shizhen is versatile and has a large number of masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. His poems and poems about scenery are especially praised. The phrase "Lv Yangcheng is Yangzhou" in his poems was used as a painting title by many famous painters at that time. Wang Shizhen's talent was quickly appreciated by Emperor Kangxi, calling him "excellent in poetry and prose" and "knowledgeable and good at poetry and prose". In the seventeenth year of Kangxi (1678), Wang Shizhen was summoned by the emperor, and Cao Chong, the Han minister of the Qing Dynasty, became the first ci minister. Emperor Kangxi also ordered Wang Shizhen to present a poem, which was a very rare privilege at that time. Wang Shizhen then selected 300 poems of his own and named them "Yulan Ji". From then on, Wang Shizhen rose to the top of the world, often received royal calligraphy and painting, and attended many important banquets.

At that time, Wang Shizhen's poems were famous all over the world, and his official position kept moving up, becoming a recognized leader in the literary world in the early Qing Dynasty. When newcomers and literary successors came to Beijing for advice from famous teachers, they often visited Wang Shizhen first. If they can get a compliment from him, they will be famous. Pu Songling is an outstanding scholar, and Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio has long been unknown to the world. When Pu Songling found Wang Shizhen, Wang Shizhen praised him and gave him a poem: "If you listen to nonsense, it will rain like silk in the bean shed. You should be tired of speaking in human language, and love listening to autumn grave ghosts sing poems. " In order to publish Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, Wang Shizhen wrote Comments on Wang Ruanting in his book, which made bookstores compete for manuscripts and printed Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio with great pride. Celebrities at that time greatly praised this matter: "The national culture has a long history, elegant and elegant, and rich and powerful people come forth in large numbers, and the authentic generation will surely rank first among the princes in the new city."

Song's "Witty Words" and "Taste" described the beautiful natural scenery and superior climatic conditions of the West Changbai Mountain in Zhoucun, Jinan, which attracted Wang Shizhen, so a villa was built and named "Fu Yu Cao Hall". Come and play and stay when you are free. In the midsummer heat, the whole family came here to escape the heat. There are mountains, clear springs, Luming Literature crane dance, lakes and mountains, which is a rare summer resort. There is a bustling Zhoucun nearby, and life is very convenient. Yuan Shoudong and other bureaucrats also saw the villa in the mountain.

After Wang Shizhen dismissed from office, he lived in a villa in the mountains for a long time, climbing high and looking far, watching waterfalls and fishing in the pond. Sometimes I climb Huixian Peak, look at the blue belt of Qinghe River and the sails of Nha Trang Lake, and sing "the breeze from Dongshan is coming, and the rain from Xijian is cool". When you are in high spirits, it is very pleasant to shout in the sky and spread the sound in the empty valley. His Record of Changbai Mountain gives a detailed account of the natural scenery, mountains and rivers around Changbai Mountain, as well as Fu He's Notes on Xiangzu.

Wang Shizhen officials to ministers of punishments, have a political say. Originated from "nature" and "implication" in Tang works.

Wang Shizhen was an advocate of "verve theory" in the early Qing Dynasty. Later generations compiled poems in the classroom, which reflected his poetic concept. Wang Shizhen's poetics is based on "verve", which originated from Si Kongtu and Yan Yu. He advocates "wonderful enlightenment" and "interest", and takes "saying nothing is romance" as the highest realm of poetry. Emphasize distant artistic conception and implicit language. Wang Shizhen's poetry creation started with seven poets in Ming Dynasty in his early years and became a poet in Tang Dynasty in his middle age. But in these three changes, advocating verve theory is the best embodiment of Wang Shizhen's verve theory, and his seven-character quatrains are well written.

The verve theory advocated by Wang Shizhen has ruled the poetry world for decades. His poetry creation and theory reached the peak in Qing Dynasty, and he wrote a brilliant chapter in the history of China's poetry theory, making important contributions to the development of China's national culture and world culture.

Theoretical Viewpoint Wang Shizhen, a poet in the early Qing Dynasty, is another advocate of verve theory after Si Kongtu and Yan Yu, and he is a master of verve theory. He is also known as "verve". Unfortunately, Wang Yuyang only used the word "charm" in his life, but he did not discuss it actively and systematically. Later commentators held their own opinions and interpreted them one after another, and some different views appeared:

Some people think that "verve" means "style" or "texture" and "everything should be top-down", which is the explanation of Weng Fanggang's "Pan verve theory". Some people think that Mr Guo Shaoyu insists on this point. He pointed out: "Rhyme" and "Rhyme" "In fact, the rhyme of so-called offshore fishing is just a rhyme. Mr. Min Ze thinks that verve "sometimes refers to the inner likeness, verve, verve and other things corresponding to modeling and form in creation" and "sometimes refers to the fresh and poetic atmosphere and realm characterized by scenery writing in content." Cai Zhongxiang believes that verve is an "ancient and pure artistic conception". Mr. Wu Diaogong wrote in his book "On Charm". Mr. Ye Jiaying also said: In general discussion, the main connotation of verve refers to the simplicity and lightness of poetic flavor. ""There are two wonderful things in Qingyuan, which are verve. " When talking about Yu Yang's poetics, Mr. Qian Zhongshu also commented that "verve is the highest realm of poetry: realm", "speaking, speaking" and so on. All the above "excellent tours" have their own charms. In addition, the theories of "taste is different from taste" and "rhyme is the main factor" have their reasonable and even profound aspects, and they all talk about the connotation of "rhyme" to varying degrees. However, judging from Yu Yang's poetry theory and the actual tendency of poetry creation, this seems inappropriate. The author thinks that Wang Yuyang's "verve" and "verve theory" have two meanings: first, it means that in the artistic style of poetry, it combines the two styles of "leisurely journey" and "leisurely joy", focusing on the ancient and leisure (referred to as "talking at the same time"); second, it means that in a poem, the pursuit of "high unity" focuses on the internal quality of the poem, while rhyme emphasizes.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the research on the grammar of classical literature became more and more in-depth, but at the same time, Wang Shizhen and Wang Yuyang's "verve theory" was unique, surpassing the specific text form adhered to by traditional grammar research, and their understanding of the artistic value of classical works rose to a more metaphysical level.

However, how to understand the position of Wang Yuyang's verve theory in the development of the concept of form in classical literature is still an unsolved problem. Wang Yuyang himself explained his verve theory, saying that he liked the word "romantic without words" in Si Kongtu's Twenty-four Poems. Sometimes, Yan Yu's "antelope hangs on the horn, there is no trace to be found" is quoted to illustrate the meaning of charm. From his concept of verve and these explanations, it is easy to draw the view that verve refers to some emotional connotation in his works that can only be understood but not expressed, rather than formal characteristics. In order to clarify the metaphysical theory of verve theory, Weng Fanggang interpreted verve as "spirit", "reason" and even style and texture. Finally, it boils down to "gentleman", which seems to think that verve belongs to connotation. When talking about verve, Mr. Qian Zhongshu, a modern scholar, said that verve is "not one of the products of poetry, but the products are just right and perfect", which means forgetting me. Explaining verve with user, spirit, qi and spirit all understand verve from the perspective of works' connotation. This understanding is of course good, because the "qi" of "verve" is definitely related to the inner spiritual meaning. But as a result of this explanation, it seems that the word "rhyme" of "verve" has not been implemented yet. Mr. Wu Diaogong, a contemporary scholar, made a more detailed analysis of the word "verve" in the theory of verve:

God and rhyme are perfect. But careful analysis shows that there is a process from "spirit" to "rhyme". Even if this change is abrupt and vague, it obviously contains a "perfusion" process emphasized by Goethe. There is both the poet's subjective "spirit" and the need for perfusion, which needs to be preserved in moderation or publicized in a spurt, forming a carrier full of "life".

Generally speaking, verve theorists pay more attention to "rhyme" and inner rhythmic flow than all kinds of ancient poetics.

Mr. Wu Diaogong not only pointed out the "spirit" and "rhyme" contained in the verve theory, that is, the internal spirit and external rhythm, but also emphasized that the focus of the verve theory was on "rhyme", that is, "the flow of the heart and the internal rhythm".

Stories about books collection are famous bibliophiles and writers in Qing Dynasty. Zi Zhen, a word, Sun Yuren,No. Yu Yangshan,No. Ruanting. In order to avoid taboo, it was renamed as Zheng Shi, a new city (now Huantai, Zibo, Shandong). In the 12th year of Shunzhi (1655), he was awarded the prefect of Yangzhou, changed to give lectures at the Imperial Academy, and offered a drink to imperial academy, so he got tired of being an official and moved to the left as an imperial adviser. In the 43rd year of Kangxi (1704), he was dismissed from office because of his negligence in handling cases. Taking poetry as a generation of masters, his poems often express personal feelings. In the early years, the works were gorgeous, but after middle age they became light and vigorous. Good at each body, especially the seven laws of work. Like Zhu Yizun, he was called "Zhu Wang". Jia's collection of books, my father had a suicide note, but more than half of them were lost because of the fire. After he entered the official career, he borrowed other people's books to make copies. The income from buying books has never stopped for more than 30 years. Forty years after Kangxi (170 1), he took time off to return to China, but only brought books and a few cars. Disciple Yu drew an endorsement picture for it. As the library "Chibei Bookstore", it is named after Bai Juyi's Chibei Bookstore, and it is rich in the mountains. It is also called "exposure booth". There is the Bibliography of the Red Monument Stack, which contains nearly 500 books of Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and each book has an inscription. Wang Shao, a modern bibliophile, has collected 600 books of Secretary Yu Yang. For this reason, Zhu Yizun wrote "Ku Collection of Red Readings". He is also good at appreciating. Booksellers must say that this book has been appreciated by Mr. Xincheng if they want to raise the price of books. There are dozens of stamps printed on the collection, such as Wang Ruanting's Collection Seal, Imperial Physician, Gong Zhan's Bachelor, Sun of the Loyalty, Visiting Officials on Holidays, Remembering Tian She, Wang Langya's Collection Seal, Guo Zi's Wine Sacrifice, and Baohan Tangyin. Literature. He is the author of dozens of books, such as Jing Tang Ji, Yu Yangshan Poetry and Fu Ji, Yu Yangshan's Tales, Ju Yi Lu, Biography of Tales, A Talk in Chibei, Silkworm Tail Ji and Notes of Xiangzu. When representative works refer to Wang Shizhen in Qing Dynasty, people are most likely to think of "Sanliu"-Autumn Willow Poetry, Autumn Willow Poetry Society and Autumn Willow Garden.

Wang Shizhen was an outstanding poet in the early Qing Dynasty. He has been very clever since he was a child, and he especially likes to write poems. He lived in Jinan as a teenager and claimed to be a native of Jinan. He wrote many poems praising Jinan's landscape all his life. One autumn afternoon in the 14th year of Qing Shunzhi (1657), Wang Shizhen was visiting Daming Lake in Jinan with some literary friends. At this time, the weather is getting colder, and the weeping willows on Daming Lake have faded, turned yellow and dyed with autumn colors. Wang Shizhen was infected and moved by the scenery in front of him, so he wrote four famous autumn willow poems:

"Where is the most charming Qiu Lai? The afterglow of the west wind is white. Tomorrow, it's a bad day, but today is haggard, and the night is a smoke mark. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Huang Cong songs. I dreamed of a village in the south of the Yangtze River. Don't listen to the breeze playing the flute. It is always difficult to talk about Guan Yu's sadness. "

"Juanjuan cool dew for frost, thousands of jade pond. Li China woman mirror, Jiang Zhu daughter box. There is water flowing through the dike of Bambusa bambusa, and you can see the scenery of Langya Avenue. If you pass the Luoyang Scenic Area, ask Feng Fang deeply. "

"Dongfeng is a spring coat, and it is a big sigh of relief and depression. The rich palace is full of flowers, and the spirit and the people in the temple are happy. When we met Southern Yan, we were all concerned about each other. They all said that Xiwu didn't fly at night. In the past, I asked a book, but Liang Yuan didn't listen. "

"Peach roots and leaves are connected, and they all turn into smoke. Autumn is still charming to people, and spring girls have been lingering with them. The new sorrow is Di Zi's sorrow for today, and the old story is the previous years of GongSunYi. I remember that the green doors, pearls, drums, pines and cypresses set each other off in the sunset. "

These four poems "Autumn Willow" have implicit meaning, beautiful realm, organic combination of chanting and meaning, and have strong artistic appeal. What is even more amazing is that the whole poem is written in willow, but there is not a word "willow" throughout, which shows the poet's profound artistic refining skills.

Wang Shizhen was only 24 years old when he wrote Four Poems of Autumn Willow. Before that, he was a scholar in high school and was famous for many of his poems. However, it is these four poems that really make him famous all over the country. The spread of this poem had a great influence, and many people responded to it all over the country. Even Gu came to Beijing to sing "Autumn Willow in Fude". Due to the chorus of Autumn Willow by many famous people all over the country, a well-known literary society-Autumn Willow Poetry Society was formed at that time. "Autumn Willow Poetry Society" has left a great impression in the history of China literature.

Where is the Four Poems of Autumn Willow in Daming Lake written? Wang Shizhen said in "Preface to Caigen Hall Poetry": "Ding Youqiu of Shunzhi lived in Jinan, and celebrities gathered in Huming Lake. One day, I will drink water in the noodle restaurant. There are more than a thousand willows under the pavilion, and the water is full of branches, and the leaves are yellowish, and the autumn colors are dyed at first glance. I was disappointed and wrote four poems. " It is clearly written here that the poem Autumn Willow was written in the Shuige of Daming Lake. According to textual research, the so-called "Water Pavilion", whose full name should be "Tianxin Water Pavilion", is located near Jiaxuan Temple on the south bank of Daming Lake and has long been destroyed.

The memorial building Zhong Qin Temple, also known as Wang Jia Ancestral Temple, is located in the north of Ganger Street in Xinli Village, Xincheng Town, Huantai County, and was built by Sogo King in the Ming Dynasty.

The restoration of Yangzhou Hongqiao is a precedent for Wang Yuyang during the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty. Wang Yuyang, formerly known as Wang Shizhen, was born in Zhucheng, Shandong. He was smart and studious since he was a child, and he won a scholar at the age of 22. In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi (1660), 26-year-old Wang Yuyang was appointed as Yangzhou secretariat, a successful young man. Before Wang Yuyang came to Yangzhou, he was no stranger to Yangzhou. His grandfather Wang worked in Yangzhou in the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1628), which shows that the Wang family has a deep relationship with Yangzhou.

After five years in Yangzhou, Wang Yuyang wrote many poems and travel notes. In the first year of Kangxi (1662), Hongqiao was built with Zhang Yangzhong, Qiu Xiangsui, Chen Yunheng and Chen Weisong. Wang Yuyang composed Huanxisha and arranged Hongqiao Chorus. In the spring of the third year of Kangxi (1664), he and other celebrities built a red bridge, and wrote "Ye Chun's quatrains", in which "the red bridge flies, and the railings are red with nine bends. In the afternoon, I drew a boat under the bridge, and the figure of Xiang hurried by. There are many singers, and for a time, the prosperity of "Jiang Lou sings spring lyrics together" was formed. The poet's repair of Hongqiao made Yechunshe and Hongqiao a cultural attraction. According to "Yangzhou Shipping Administration", "I asked my boss to take care of Yangzhou and have a feast with celebrities every day, so those who passed Guangling asked Hongqiao more. "Ye Chun and Hongqiao became famous in the literary world because of Wang Yuyang's poems, and Yangzhou, also because of Hongqiao in Wang Yuyang, became the yearning place for scholars in the early Qing Dynasty.

It was the widespread spread of these poems that made Wang Yuyang famous in poetry and officialdom, and became a master of the literary world in the Qing Dynasty. His poetry and prose style is fresh and plain, abandoning the style of sadness and resentment, which has great influence on that time and later generations. The fertile soil of Yangzhou nourished Wang Yuyang, and Wang Yuyang made important contributions to the development of Yangzhou culture.

Wang Shizhen's poems and songs are full of rot, with a hat, a boat, a thread and an inch of hooks. Sing a song, drink a bottle of wine, and catch a river alone. —— Wang Shizhen's "The Single Fishing Map of Qiu Jiang" and Qiu Jiang's "The Single Fishing Map" in Qing Dynasty.

A boat with a hat, a silk and an inch-long hook.

Sing a song, drink a bottle of wine, and catch a river alone. How about drawing Chuxu Road at the head of Fisherman's House? Misty rain and eyes secretly. Crossing the river in the cold wave at night, the forest is full of Yan Huang. -On the River by Wang Shizhen in the Qing Dynasty
