Appreciation:
This poem is a painting poem, inscribed on the author Zheng Banqiao's own "Bamboo and Stone Pictures". This poem praises the tenacity of rock bamboo and implies the author's strong character of defying common opinion.
The first sentence of the poem: "Don't let go of the green mountains." First, the image of a tall and steep green bamboo firmly grasping the cracks of the green mountains is presented to the reader. A single word personifies bamboo. Biting is an active action that requires effort. It not only describes the scene of green bamboo clinging to the green mountains, but also shows the bamboo's spirit of not being afraid of hardships, fighting against nature, and surviving tenaciously. Following on from the previous sentence, the second sentence "The roots are originally in the broken rock" tells that the reason why the green bamboo can stand proudly on the green mountain is that it is deeply rooted in the broken rock. In the author Zheng Banqiao's poems and paintings, bamboo is often inseparable from stone. Sometimes, stone forms the opposite of bamboo, like a bamboo branch inserted into a stone. The stone is one foot taller than the bamboo branch. Although one foot makes it taller, it will make me stronger every year. Sometimes, stone becomes the background of bamboo, like the autumn wind that passed through last night. In Xiaoxiang, people who touch rocks and walk through the forest are used to going crazy; only bamboo branches are not afraid, and they can fight with each other for a thousand times. In this poem, bamboo and stone form a seamless whole. Without dianthus, it would not be tall, and without bamboo, the mountain would not be green. These two poems also illustrate a simple and profound philosophy: only with a deep foundation can one be strong.
With the foreshadowing of the first two sentences, the following two sentences are naturally derived: After thousands of hardships, you are still strong, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south. Bamboo in this poem has a characteristic. It is not an isolated bamboo, nor a static bamboo, but rock bamboo, a wind bamboo. In the poems and paintings of the author Zheng Banqiao, bamboo is often a symbol of noble conduct and strong will, while wind is often a representative of evil forces, such as the aforementioned autumn wind crossing Xiaoxiang last night, and another example: A strong wind is blowing back. , the bamboo branches turned back and opened toward the sky. Sweeping away the clouds and fog is really my job, how can I even bother sweeping the floor? In this poem, the bamboo also withstands the blows of the east, west, north and south winds throughout the year. But because it is deeply rooted in the rock, it remains firm and strong. No matter what kind of wind it is, it has nothing to do with it. The poet used the words "thousands" and "ten thousand" to describe the tenacity, fearlessness, calmness and confidence of bamboo. It can be said that the artistic conception of the whole poem suddenly emerged at this point. At this time, what stands in front of us is no longer a few ordinary bamboos. What we feel is a kind of tenacious vitality and an indomitable willpower, and all of this is contained in that slender Among the windy bamboos.
The bamboo in the poem is actually the incarnation of the noble personality of the author Zheng Banqiao. In life, the poet is exactly such a rock bamboo that has a closer connection with the lower class people, hates evil as much as hatred, and is not afraid of the powerful. The author Zheng Banqiao's poems on paintings have a strong three-dimensional sense just like his paintings, and can be appreciated by painting. This poem is exactly like this. Both bamboo and stone are vivid in the poet's writing, as if they are in front of his eyes. The disembodied wind is also described as if it were blowing across the face. But what the poet pursues is not only the external appearance, but also infuses his own ideals into each thin and hard rock bamboo and integrates his own personality, so that the bamboo and stone reveal a deep meaning and inner charm. .
This is a poem that uses objects to describe people and expresses aspirations. It is also a poem in praise of objects. This poem focuses on expressing the tenacious and persistent quality of bamboo. It supports the tenacity of rock bamboo and expresses its uprightness, unyielding and unyielding character. The language of the whole poem is simple, lively, persistent and powerful.

Appreciation:
This poem focuses on expressing the tenacious and persistent quality of bamboo. It is a painting poem that praises Rock Bamboo. It is a poem that chants things and is also a painting poem. The word "bite" at the beginning personifies Rock Bamboo and conveys its charm. The last two sentences further describe the character of Rock Bamboo. After countless hardships, he has developed a particularly upright posture and is never afraid of the strong winds coming from the east, west, north and south. Zheng Xie not only wrote beautiful poems about bamboos, but also painted bamboos that were lifelike. In his words, he painted bamboos to comfort the working people in the world. Therefore, this poem is written about bamboo on the surface, but it is actually about people. It is about the author's own upright and stubborn character, and his arrogant character that will never bow to any evil forces. At the same time, this poem can also give us the touch of life. In the tortuous and harsh environment, we can overcome difficulties and face reality, being as strong and brave as rock bamboo, which embodies the feelings of patriots. The Poetry of Zhuli Pavilion

People in the deep forest don’t know that the bright moon comes to shine.

Poetic:
Sitting alone in the deep bamboo forest,
playing the piano and singing to the sky.
No one is with me in the deep forest.
Only the bright moon in the sky shines.
Appreciation:
This poem is included in the "Notes on the Collection of Wang Youcheng" and is the seventeenth of the twenty poems in the "Collection of Wangchuan". This is a poem about the leisure life and taste of a hermit. It depicts the leisure life of the poet sitting alone under the moon, playing the piano and screaming.
This little poem has four sentences in total. When we take it apart, we find that there is neither touching scenery nor touching love words; we can neither find which word is poetry nor which sentence is warning. Moreover, the poem's wording, description of scenery (hull, deep forest, bright moon), and description of people (sitting alone, playing the piano, and screaming) are all very ordinary. However, the beauty of it is that it uses a natural and plain style to depict the fresh and attractive artistic conception of the moonlit night and the secluded forest. The quiet night and the silence of the people blend into the scene, which contains a special kind of beautiful artistic charm, making it an eternal masterpiece. . Playing the piano and screaming, it contrasts with the tranquility of the bamboo forest on a moonlit night, and the light and shadow of the bright moon contrasts with the darkness of the deep forest. On the surface, it seems plain and simple, but it seems to be written casually, but it is actually a masterpiece of originality and rejuvenation.
This poem expresses a quiet and peaceful state. The first two sentences describe the poet sitting alone in the deep and dense bamboo forest, playing the strings and making a long whistle. In fact, whether playing the piano or whistling, they all reflect the poet's elegant, leisurely, transcendent and refined temperament, which is not easy to make others scream. So the last two sentences say: People in the deep forest don't know that the bright moon comes to shine. This means that even though I live in a deep forest, I don't feel lonely because the bright moon still shines on me all the time. The technique of personification is used here, and the shining moon is regarded as a close friend, which shows the poet's novel and unique imagination. The style of the whole poem is quiet and leisurely, as if the poet's state of mind and the natural scenery are integrated into one.
When describing scenery in the poem, only six characters are used to form three words, namely: secluded bamboo, deep forest, and bright moon. To describe the brightness of the moon that shines on the earth in one clear word, there is nothing new or clever to say. It is a statement that everyone is accustomed to. As for the word "huang" in the first sentence and the word "lin" in the third sentence, they are actually the same thing. They are a repeated description of the bamboo forest where the poet is in. The addition of the words "secluded" and "deep" in front of the bamboo forest only shows that it is neither Yu Xin's "Small Garden" The three poles and two poles of bamboo mentioned in "Fu" are not the twelve sparse bamboo poles under the eaves mentioned in Liu Zongyuan's poem "Qingshui Post Bamboo", but a dense and dense bamboo forest that is both quiet and deep. Here, it seems that the scene in front of you is written out at random, without any effort to describe or paint.
When describing character activities in the poem, only six characters are used to form three words, namely: sitting alone, playing the piano, and roaring. For the characters, there is neither a description of their playing and whistling, nor an expression of their joy, anger, sorrow, and joy; for the sound and whistling of the piano, no pen and ink is spent on describing their tones and emotions. On the surface, the wording and expressions in the four lines of the poem are ordinary. But when the four lines of poetry are put together, they have their own wonderful meaning and realm, which contains a special artistic charm. As a masterpiece in Wang Wei's "Wangchuan Collection", its beauty is that it displays such an artistic conception that people are naturally attracted to. It does not win by words, but sees beauty from the whole. Its beauty lies in its spirit rather than its appearance. To appreciate its beauty, one should also focus on its spirit, and its spirit is contained in the artistic conception. In terms of artistic conception, it not only gives people a feeling of tranquility and elegance as Shi Buya said ("Poetry of Xian Maid"), but also makes people feel that the scenery of this secluded forest on a moonlit night is so empty, bright and clear. The person who plays the piano and screams is so at ease and contented, with no worries, and the external scene and the internal situation are seamlessly integrated. In terms of language, we can see the taste from nature, and the high rhyme from plainness. The beauty of its style, characterized by nature and plainness, complements the beauty of its artistic conception.
It is conceivable that the formation of the artistic conception of the poem depends entirely on the consistency of the character's character and the intrinsic quality of the scene being written, without having to resort to external color. Therefore, when poets meet things, emotions and scenery, they can, as Sikong Tu said in "Poetry on Nature", look for things wherever they are, do not pick up others, go where they are, start to make spring, and enter into thin romance. Enlightenment, the art world of Yuyou Tianjun. Of course, when it is said that everything is readily available, it does not mean that the poet has no choice in selecting materials and can pick them up at will; when it is said that everything is done at hand, it does not mean that the poet has nothing to arrange when he is in charge of the material. When describing the surrounding scenery in the poem, I chose the bamboo forest and the bright moon, because they are consistent with the quiet and pure environment that I want to show; when describing my own feelings in the poem, I chose playing the piano and shouting, because they are consistent with what I want to express. A quiet and pure state of mind. This is a scene and an event, and the reason why he wrote about this scene and this incident has its own mature poetic thoughts. Judging from the combination of the whole poem, the poet not only wrote about the moonlit night in the forest, but also wrote about playing the piano and shouting, which used sound to bring out the tranquility. As for the last sentence of the poem, which is written when the moon comes to shine, it not only contrasts with the previous sentence, but also plays a role in breaking up the dark night.
The contrast between sound and silence, as well as light and shadow, is both masterfully arranged and used with ingenuity. The Poetry in the Mountains of Sushiyi
The Poetry in the Mountains of Sushiyi
"The Poetry in the Mountains of Sushiyi"
Author: Han Hong
Original text: < /p>
The floating clouds cannot stop the mountains, and the mist on the mountains is so green that the view turns to confusion.
The dawn moon temporarily flies high in the trees, and the autumn river is separated by several peaks to the west.
Notes:
1. Mountain mist: clouds in the mountains.
2. Qiuhe: refers to the Milky Way in the sky.
3. Mysterious: Can’t tell clearly.
4. Temporary: short-lived, sudden.
Appreciation:
This Qijue poem depicts the charming and changing scenery of Shiyi Mountain in extremely concise strokes. Shiyi is the name of an ancient county. The old city is located in the southeast of Huolu, Hebei Province today. The Shiyi area is the remnants of the Taihang Mountains, with winding mountains, staggered peaks, and steep peaks reaching into the sky. The sentence "Floating clouds cannot reach the top of the mountain" uses the technique of holding up the clouds to describe the momentum of the sky: even the white clouds floating in the sky cannot reach the top of the mountain, so I dare to compete with them. . If the first sentence is about looking up at what you see, then the second sentence about looking up at the misty mountains and the blue sky is about looking at the distant scenery: the sky-high mountains are endless, and the floating sunset glow is light and thick, bright and dark, giving rise to the mountains. The mountains add charming colors. The three words "Wangzhuanmi" are exquisite and clear, vividly describing the poet's immersive feelings, and vividly depicting the deep, mysterious and unpredictable atmosphere of the mountains immersed in the twilight. This sentence cleverly echoes the previous sentence. It is precisely because of the high mountains and clouds that visitors to the mountains feel lost in their gaze. At the same time, the word "mi" also implies that the poet will stay in the mountains as dusk approaches. The word "su" is the title of this poem. If we didn't stay here, the scenery at dawn would be meaningless.
Three or four sentences: The dawn moon temporarily flies high in the trees, and the autumn river is separated by several peaks to the west. This is the most exquisite and expressive pen of this poem. Chen Ziang's poem "The bright moon is hidden behind the tall trees, and the long river has no dawn" ("Farewell to Friends on a Spring Night") describes the scenery of parting with friends at dawn. The picture is still. These two lines of Han Hong's poems are derived from this, adding rich layers and distinct dynamics to the tranquil atmosphere. The word "mid-autumn" in the sentence points out the season of staying in the mountains, and the word "xiao" writes the time of staying at dusk and walking at dawn. When embarking on the journey, one can glimpse the bright moon hanging high in the sky through the gaps in the towering trees; when the traveler travels along the mountain path, as the angle of view changes along the peaks and turns, the bright moon that can be seen just now is suddenly hidden among the dense trees. . "Jiu Fei High in the Trees" seems to be a random writing without any intention of seeking work, but it is pure and refined, unique and implicit: readers can understand from the character "Jiu Fei" that as the mountain road twists and turns, the bright moon will jump out of the trees; from the character "Fei" It can be felt that everything is silent at dawn, and the sky seems to suddenly add movement. This is an activity picture with fresh semantics, layers and rhythms. The artistic conception is beautiful and the scenery is well-proportioned, which makes people endlessly daydream. As the dawn gradually dawned, the Milky Way gradually sank to the west and was obscured by the peaks, so it could not be seen. In the last sentence, the autumn river is separated by several peaks to the west, passing by in one stroke and ending abruptly. These two sentences are detailed and abbreviated, one real and the other virtual. They arrange the close and distant views, light and dark levels, time and space in an orderly manner, and melt the depicted scenery into beautiful and smooth couplets, adding a distinctive flavor to the whole poem. Artistic charm and harmonious and pleasant musical effects. At the same time, through these two sentences describing the scenery, people can deeply appreciate the hardships of travelers who stay overnight and rush around.
This Qijue poem is very well written. The poet uses a silhouette-style writing method to capture several fragments of his deepest feelings during Duixu and Xiaoxing to express the scenery in Shiyi Mountain, and the implicit word "Su" acts as a link between the unrelated scenery: because he stayed in the mountains , only then can we see the majestic mountains and the misty clouds; because of the journey at dawn, we can see the dawn moon and autumn river when we set out on the journey. The word "Su" makes the arrangement of the front and rear traces traceable, and the veins are broken and the peaks are connected, forming a seamless whole. This way of writing avoids the dullness of a straightforward narrative, and appears to have both waves and charm. On the surface, this poem seems to simply describe the scenery, but in fact, the scenery contains emotions. One or two sentences of the scene of entering the mountain for the first time reveal the author's astonishment and admiration for the majesty and height of Shiyi Mountain; three or four sentences of the quiet and cold scene of walking at dawn show the sound of chickens in Maodian and the moon, and the frost of people in Banqiao (Wen Tingyun's "Morning Journey to Shangshan") )-style artistic conception expresses the poet's hard work, loneliness and desolation.
Complementary explanation: The Autumn River is separated by several peaks to the west
This sentence actually has a unique meaning and clever technique.
Firstly, for the description of the main subject of the Autumn River, the poet wrote that it was previously in front of the peak, but now it is blocked by the peak, but it is still in the west, highlighting its characteristics that change at any time. Change, and even change the mood according to the movement of one's own steps. At the same time, he also expressed his feelings about the Qiu River that seems far away but is close, and seems close but is actually far away: Shufengxi can be in a very far airspace or a very close distance under different reference bodies. Therefore, this poem describes the scenery and conveys the meaning. It is really a combination of virtuality and reality, and the song is as wonderful as it is.
Secondly, the number of peaks in this sentence is the object or so-called foil (contrast). When the poet writes about the situation of the autumn river in the sky being separated, he also uses a number to express it. The mountain scenery with endless peaks. The author kills two birds with one stone with simple words and sentences. If the first sentence of "Floating Clouds Bu**" and "This Mountain Together" focuses on describing the height of the peaks in Shiyi area, which is vertical, then the number of peaks in this sentence expresses the breadth of its staggered peaks, which is Horizontal. This is not only complementary in perspective, but also enriched in content.
