"Spring Dawn"

Meng Haoran

I sleep in spring without realizing the dawn, and hear the singing of birds everywhere.

How many flowers have fallen to the sound of wind and rain at night?

This little poem "Spring Dawn" seems to be ordinary when I first read it. After reading it repeatedly, I feel that there is a special world in the poem. Its artistic charm does not lie in the gorgeous rhetoric or the unique artistic techniques, but in its charm. The style of the whole poem is as simple and natural as flowing clouds and flowing water, yet it is far-reaching, profound and uniquely wonderful. For thousands of years, people have recited and discussed it, as if this short four-line poem contains endless artistic treasures.

If it is natural and has no rhythm, it will be shallow; if it has no ups and downs, it will lose its straightness. "Spring Dawn" has both beautiful charm and ups and downs in writing, so the poem has a lasting flavor. The poet wants to express his love for spring, but he does not explain it fully or thoroughly, "the door is half open to the wind", allowing readers to guess and guess, and the expression is full of hidden twists and turns.

“Love outside the words is said to be hidden, and the appearance overflowing is said to be beautiful.” (quoted by Zhang Jie’s "Suihantang Poetry") When writing about love, the poet selected the emotional fragments in the moment when he fell asleep in the morning to describe . This fragment is the beginning and budding stage of the poet's ideological activities. It is the most generative moment that allows people to imagine the development of his emotions. The poet seizes this moment, but does not unfold it. He just reveals his thoughts to the readers, leads the readers to the track of his emotions, and then leaves it alone. The rest is for the readers to follow the poet's thinking. direction to enrich and supplement.

When describing the scenery, he only chose one side of spring. Spring has charming colors and intoxicating fragrance, but poets don't even write about it. He only wrote from the perspective of hearing, writing about the sounds of spring: the birds singing everywhere, the wind and rain. The sound of birds is gentle, sweet and beautiful. Adding the word "everywhere", the chirping rises and falls, and the chirps respond to each other from far and near, which makes people feel like they are on a mountain vagina and overwhelmed by everything. The spring breeze and spring rain fall one after another, but on the quiet spring night, the rustling sound also makes people imagine the desolate mood like smoke and dreams, and the new appearance of the flowers after the light rain. These are just what the poet heard indoors, but the bursts of spring sounds teased the boundless spring scenery, leading the readers to the vast nature, allowing the readers to imagine and appreciate the gorgeous spring scenery with the fragrance of warblers and flowers. This is Use the sounds of spring to exaggerate the beautiful scene of outdoor spring. These scenery are lively and full of vitality. It writes the poet's feelings and expresses his inner joy and love for nature.

The language of "Spring Dawn" is simple and simple, natural, and there is no trace of artificial carving at all. The meaning is shallow but the scene is true, just like a spring flowing from the depths of the poet's soul, crystal clear, filling the poet's life and beating the poet's pulse. Reading it is like drinking wine and getting drunk unconsciously. The poet's emotion and environment allow him to find the true interest and essence of nature. "Articles are made by nature, and clever hands accidentally find them." This is the most natural poem, the sound of nature.
