Have a chance to watch the rain.

A glimpse of the rain comes from the poem Looking at the Rain written by the Song Dynasty poet Chen.

works appreciation

As an outstanding poet at the turn of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, Chen admired and studied Du Fu in his poetry creation. Pay attention to the reality and the national movement and people's livelihood; There are few allusions and clear words, unlike Huang Tingjian, his predecessor, who pursues "no words and no place". Although the poem "Watching the Rain" has some allusions, it is simple and clear. Due to the clever use of figures of speech such as puns, this work has a broad realm and rich connotations.

The first pair of couplets, "Shanke doesn't understand farming, but sits on the ground and watches the rain and shine", points out the identity, mood and demeanor of the poet at this time. "Mountain guest" is the poet's self-description, "guest" points out the situation, and "dragon bell" writes the poet's mental state; "Ignorance of agriculture" means that the poet can't (understand) agriculture and mulberry. Here, the author is telling about that unfortunate era, not introducing himself. Living in a foreign land is because the country is ruined; Mental fatigue is due to being transferred from one place to another.

We don't care about farming and mulberry, because in this war-torn era, peaceful production is impossible. The sentence of the first couplet shows the poet's distinct attitude towards this particular era, which is cause and object. Conversation is the fruit, the "master", and "sitting in danger" shows the poet's solemn manner and heavy mood. "Rain or shine is uncertain" is a pun, which is not only the change of weather, but also the dynamic situation of resisting gold at that time. This is naturally related to the previous "Don't Know Farming", and "Watching the Rain" and "The Current Situation" are round and seamless.

Parallel couplets write scenes, magnificent, magnificent. Rivers and valleys, forests and mountains, clouds and rain. The poet not only wrote the inherent characteristics of summer clouds and rain, but also expressed his broad and profound thoughts at the moment: the surging clouds and heavy rains in vast areas are a portrayal of the subversion and relocation of the whole country. Not only the rain scene, but also the present situation is written here. The supreme ruler did not carry out strong resistance, which led to the overwhelming situation of nomadic people. Here, "cloud" and "rain" are skillfully combined.

Although the violent clouds and rain covered everything, everything in the rain did not completely yield, and the situation was not dark. There is also unyielding resistance in the cloudy rain curtain, and there is also a chance of life in the shaky crisis (here mainly refers to the active anti-gold move of Changsha Shoushuaiyan at that time). Necklace is not only the real scene in front of us, but also the poet's expectation of the situation.

The bamboo branches stand tenaciously, and the light is exposed to the high mountain corners, where the wind blows. Here, the poet's careful observation of rain changes shows that he is highly concerned about reality.

The sentence at the end of the couplet is translated from Du Fu's poem "There is no leakage at the bedside", and the antithesis is also translated from Lao Du's poem "Do your best to wash your nails and don't use them for a long time", which is just the opposite here. From this rain, the author thought of another allusion: when the king of Wu attacked Yin, it rained heavily. Jiang Taigong said, "This is God washing our armor and helping me attack!

"If I cut Jin Xingbing DaSong dynasty, also can use the heavy rain to wash weapons. If so, what's wrong with my personal house leaking rain! " Of course, the "rain" here refers to good things that help resist gold. For example, active resistance policies, effective operational measures, concerted efforts by Qi Xin and Shanghai, and stimulating the atmosphere of public opinion. , are different from the gloomy oppression and precarious situation mentioned above (this is also a pun in a broad sense).

This is determined by the fuzziness of the image, and also by the poet's original intention of caring about the current situation and hoping for a better political situation.

Of course, the whole poem also uses figures of speech such as personification and antithesis, which makes it rich in charm; But the key is the use of pun, which seamlessly integrates the immediate natural phenomena, the poet's perception of natural phenomena and his anxious and profound thinking about reality, broadens the artistic conception of poetry, deepens the connotation of poetry, is full of vitality and aesthetic significance, and is the representative work of Chen Xianzhang's poetry.
