Excuse me, where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village. Tomb-Sweeping Day, writing rain, writing people, translating and annotating ancient poems on the way to early education 100.
During the Qingming Festival in the south of the Yangtze River, the drizzle drifted one after another, and all the passengers on the road were down and out.
Where can local people buy wine to drown their sorrows? The shepherd boy just smiled and pointed to Xinghuashan Village.
I am grateful that this day is Tomb-Sweeping Day. The poet Xiao Du happened to get caught in the rain during his trip. Qingming Festival, although it is a season with colorful flowers and bright spring, is also a period when the climate is prone to change, and it often catches up with "noisy weather". As early as the Liang Dynasty, it was recorded that during the Cold Food Festival in Tomb-Sweeping Day two days ago, "strong winds and continuous rain" often occurred. If it rains on Qingming Day, there is also a special name called "pouring rain on fire". The poet Du Mu met such a day.
The poet used the word "one after another" to describe the "pouring rain" that day, which was really great. How can I see it? "One after another", if described by snow, should be heavy snow. The so-called "one after another, heavy snow falls in succession". But when it rains, the situation is just the opposite. It is not the heavy rain that makes people feel "one after another", but the rain in Mao Mao. This rain in Mao Mao is the characteristic of spring rain. There is a lot of rain in Mao Mao, which is the kind of rain that is "like crisp rain in the sky". It is different from the torrential rain in summer, and it is by no means the same as the intermittent autumn rain. This song "After the Rain" just captures the spirit of Tomb-Sweeping Day's "pouring fire on the rain" and conveys the beautiful realm of "being a cold bully, having a bright future and another village".
This "one after another" is naturally a description of the artistic conception of spring rain; But it's more than that. It also has a special function, that is, it actually describes the mood of travelers in the rain.
Look at the following sentence: "pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." A pedestrian is a person who travels away from home. "Pedestrians" does not mean "tourists", not people who have a spring outing. So what is "broken soul"? Is "soul" the soul of "three souls and seven spirits"? That's not true. In poetry, "soul" mainly refers to spiritual and emotional things. "Soul-breaking" refers to trying to describe the feelings hidden in the heart, which are very strong, but not clearly expressed outside, such as love, disappointment, dark sorrow and deep hatred for acacia. When poets have such emotions, they often like to use the word "broken soul" to express their feelings.
Tomb-Sweeping Day in the ancient sense is not exactly the same as our concept of it today. At that time, Tomb-Sweeping Day was a big festival with rich colors and emotional appeal. It should have been family reunion, sightseeing or grave-sweeping, which is the main etiquette and custom. In addition to those childe Wang Sun and others who are greedy for flowers and wine, some thoughtful poets, especially those with rich feelings, have quite complicated feelings. If you catch up with the lonely road again and feel sad, it will be easier to stir his heart. It happened that we caught up with one rain after another in Mao Mao, and the shirts in spring were all wet, adding another layer of sadness to pedestrians. In this way, we can understand why the poet wrote the word "broken soul" at this juncture; Otherwise, if it rains a little, it will be worth "breaking the soul". Isn't that reasonable?
In this way, we can return to the word "one after another". People who used to travel on holidays already have a lot on their minds. In addition, they are scattered in the wind and rain, walking in the rain, making their mood more miserable. So they all describe spring rain, but they can also describe emotions; It can even be said that the description of spring rain is to describe emotions. This is a stunt and a landscape in China's classical poetry.
The first two sentences explain the situation and the problem has also occurred. What shall we do? We need to find a solution. Pedestrians can't help thinking at this moment: where to find a small hotel. The matter is clear: find a small hotel, rest your feet and take shelter from the rain; Second, drink three cups to relieve the cold in spring and warm clothes wet by rain; Most importantly, it can also dispel my sadness. So, ask someone for directions.
Who did you ask for directions? The poet didn't tell us in the third sentence, but the wonderful thing is in the fourth sentence: "The shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village". Grammatically speaking, "shepherd boy" is the subject of this sentence, but it is also the object of the previous sentence "I'm sorry"-it complements both sides of the previous question and answer. Did the shepherd boy answer? We don't know, but taking "action" as an answer is more vivid and powerful than an answer. We watched the play Little Cowherd. When someone asked the shepherd boy for directions, he pointed with his hand and said, "Please follow my hand!" " Even the answer with action-that is, even the "music" with "pictures", both of which allow the viewer to enjoy the beauty at the same time; Now the poet's technique is simpler and more superb: he only gives the reader "pictures" and omits "music" No, it contains "music". While enjoying the beautiful "pictures" of directions, readers also heard the "music" of vague answers.
"Yao" literally means far. However, we who read poetry must not stick to the literal meaning everywhere and think that Xinghua Village must be far away from here. This finger has made us feel as if we saw the end of the red apricot, and clearly picked out a wine curtain-"wine hope." If it is really far away, it is difficult to have an artistic connection. If it is really in front of you, you will lose endless interest: beauty is not far away. In the Grand View Garden in A Dream of Red Mansions, there is a place named "Apricot Curtain in Sight" by Jingzi. The expression of "In Sight" comes from this experience, which is just a footnote for Du Lang's sentence. The shepherd boy in "Little Cowherd" also said, "I'm here, pointing, ... there are several families on the high slope in front of me, and there is a big signboard hanging on the willow tree", and then he called the female guest "You want to eat the good wine in Xinghua Village", which is also from here. "Xinghua Village" is not necessarily the real village name, nor does it necessarily refer to restaurants. It is enough to point to this beautiful village in the depths of apricot blossoms. It goes without saying that there is a small hotel waiting to receive guests walking in the rain.
Not only that. In real life, asking the way is just a means, the purpose is to really get to the hotel and have a drink, which is one thing. In poetry, this is unnecessary. It just said "pointing to Xinghua Village" and came to an abrupt end without saying a word. The rest, how happy pedestrians are when they hear the news, how to step forward, how to find hotels with excitement, how to get satisfaction and pleasure from shelter from rain and sadness ... these poets can "ignore". He left all this behind and left it to the readers to imagine and let them seek understanding. He just introduces the realm of a poem to readers, but he is not responsible for guiding the panorama; On the other hand, he opened a wider imagination space for readers than the Chinese words in poetry. This is the inexhaustible nature of art.
This is the enjoyment of poets and our readers, this is art, and this is also the place where China's classical poems are particularly good at playing. The ancients once said that a good poem can be "like a scene that is difficult to write, such as in front of us;" Endless meaning lies in words. "Take this poem" Qingming Festival "for example. In a sense, it is well-deserved.
Creation background This poem first appeared in the Splendid Flower Valley in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and later appeared in Selected Poems of Thousand Poems in Tang and Song Dynasties, Poems of Thousand Poems by Xie Fangde in Ming Dynasty and Poems of Imperial Order by Kangxi in Qing Dynasty. "Jiangnan Tongzhi" contains: Du Mu once went to Xinghua Village to drink when he was the secretariat of Chizhou, which is what the poem refers to. There are attractions such as Duhu Lake and Southeast Lake nearby.
Du Mu (AD 803-852), born in Fanchuan, Mu Zhi, Han nationality, Jingzhao Wannian (now Xi, Shaanxi), was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Du Mu is called "Xiao Du" to distinguish him from Du Fu. Also known as "Little Du Li" with Li Shangyin. Because he lived in South Fan Chuan Villa in Chang 'an in his later years, he was later called "Du Fanchuan" and wrote "Collected Works of Fan Chuan". Du Mu
West wind wine flag city, drizzle chrysanthemum day. Tear down the rotten tung flowers, drain the rain at the beginning, and wash them clean. Warm rain, sunny wind, the beginning of breaking ice, the eyes of willow leaves and the cheeks of plum all feel the heart of spring. There is no rain on the winding mountain road, the smoke is misty in the dense pine trees, and the water vapor is heavy, as if to flow, and then the clothes of passers-by. At night, the rain outside the window drops on the empty steps, and the lonely hostel in the hostel suddenly wakes up, feeling sad and desolate inside. The distant mountains urge dusk, and the breeze blows and rains lightly. The pears in the yard are about to wither. I'm afraid even the oblique wind and rain can't bear it. It's a sad scenery. There is no one at the post station, listening to the eaves constantly, and I am sleepy. Hate rustling, heartless wind and rain, rubbing Qiongji at night. Autumn wind blows in Jiangcun, and it is dusk. Lonely phoenix trees don't open the door at night. An old man in the bank, wearing a green bamboo hat raincoat and a green raincoat, braved the wind and rain and fished leisurely. He was fascinated by the beautiful spring scenery and didn't even go home in the rain. In late spring, I don't listen to the rain at night, and the rain doesn't rush the flowers, only the fallen flowers are everywhere. Climbing up the stairs and looking into the distance, rain and raindrops spilled, and the sky was near dusk. The flowers on the ground died again, and the color of the ghosting was originally dyed by his wind and rain in Nanyuan last night. It rained well on the plane. Fall into the autumn sound and be shattered by the wind. After a few days of rain, the river rose and flooded the small bridge, so people could not cross the river. At this time, a boat slowly sailed out from the shade of willow trees.
