story

During the Tang Dynasty, Xu Hun, a poet, was a Jinshi in the examination and served as a censor. On the evening of autumn, he boarded the ancient city building of Xianyang to enjoy the scenery. He saw the sun setting in the west, the dark clouds rolling in, and the cool wind blowing. So he improvised the poem "East Building of Xianyang city": "when you go up to a high building, you will feel sad, and the reeds and willows are like Tingzhou. When the clouds begin to rise, the sun sinks into the pavilion, the rain is coming, and the wind fills the building. "

The original poem

"East Tower of Xianyang city" in Tang Dynasty, Xu Hun worried about the reeds and willows in the high city, like Tingzhou River, the clouds rising, the mountains sinking, the rain coming, the wind filling the building, the birds falling green, the cicadas singing in the Qin garden, the yellow leaves in the Han Palace in autumn, the passers-by should not ask what happened in those years, the country came to Weishui River in the East The dusk of Pian Yunsheng came, and it was not a moment, and it was already close to the temple in the West. When Yunsheng set, the world was different, and the realm had changed. But then a cool wind came to the city, which made the city building more empty and desolate. By virtue of his "life experience", the poet knows that the wind is the precursor of rain. The wind is rusty and the rain is imminent. The scenery changes and the mood changes. It is caught in the "river clouds rise, the sun sinks, the mountain rain is coming, and the wind fills the building", which makes the future generations feel like they are on the top of the building city. Between the wind and rain, it is worthy of being an immortal saying. "when the clouds of the river rise, the sun sinks into the pavilion, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind fills the building", the four common words of the same sex, namely cloud, sun, rain and wind, are used together. The relationship between the four is so clear, so natural, and so flowing, but it is quite intricate. Clouds and sunsets, rain and wind, in the "fact through" is a layer of advance, orderly, the "shape" is naturally displayed in front of people, so that people must make their own choice: wait and see, head-on or retreat? "The rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings" is such a kind of artistic conception. Later generations often borrow the omen of the urgent situation of political struggle or the eve of the outbreak of emergencies. the first couplet is about the feeling of homesickness. As soon as the poet boarded the tall tower of Xianyang, he looked south. In the distance, the reeds and willows were covered with smoke, much like Tingzhou in the Yangtze River. the poet's official career in Chang'an is far away from his hometown. Once he comes to Chang'an, he will feel homesick. The reeds and willows are a little like Jiangnan. It's a touch. Homesickness is the beginning of thousands of miles of sorrow. But Jianjia autumn water, Yangliu River Bridge, all with the Huai people hurt do not have the connection. the first couplet uses the word "sorrow" to set the tone of the whole poem. The poet depicts the scene of Xianyang City in the evening with deep brushwork and expresses his desolate and sad feelings. This couplet is written vertically, and it is exported for thousands of miles. Then it closes and comes back to my eyes. The method of open and close escapement is skillful. write down the time and atmosphere of climbing the building. The poet ascended the tower at sunset. At that time, thick clouds came from the sky of Panxi river. A cool wind came and rain was imminent. this is a real scene, but it conveys a special feeling. "The rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings" contains a kind of social experience. "Wind is the head of rain" is the law of nature. Today, people use this sentence to describe the tense atmosphere before a major event. The clouds rise and sink, the rain comes and the wind is full. the neck couplet describes the scene of the old capital of Qin and Han Dynasties. The former capitals of the two dynasties have become the fields where grass and trees grow wildly; the forbidden gardens and deep palaces are now green everywhere, and the yellow leaves are all over the forest; only the sound of insects does not know the rise and fall. with the development of history, the change of dynasties and the vicissitudes of the world, the poet can't help feeling nostalgic. The poet of Wei Lianzhong said that the travelers here should not ask about the Qin and Han Dynasties. This time I came to my hometown Xianyang, I couldn't even find the ruins. Only the Wei River is still flowing as long as it used to. the poet combines homesickness and nostalgia. The two emotions permeate and stimulate each other, and the emotion is strong. Compared with the general nostalgic poems and homesickness poems, the artistic conception is higher.

Miscellany

In recent days, I read Li Ciming's yuemantang reading notes collection and Zhang Shunhui's Anthology of the Qing Dynasty. Li Ciming is fond of correcting his predecessors, Shiyan, and his mouth is full of female characters, while Zhang's disapproval and retorts. The same anthology, the two evaluation is very different, shallow as I, do not know how to choose. It's true to steal from Zhang. According to the diary of Ding Chou (1877) on December 23, Duan Maotang wrote with Ruan Yuntai: Xu Dingmao said that "when the clouds rise, the sun sinks into the pavilion, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind fills the pavilion", "the pavilion" is the mistake of "the valley". When the clouds rise, the sun wheel disappears. When the clouds fall into the valley, the "Valley" and "the tower" are actually opposite. When the clouds rise, the sun wheel hides, and the wind fills the pavilion, And the mountain rain came. There are three divine principles in the book of songs, which are "You Qi Qi", "Xing Yun Qi", "Yu I Gong Tian". The wind is full of buildings. The title is the East Building of Xianyang city. The first sentence is "worry for thousands of miles when you go to a high building". The two sentences in the Chinese couplet are all real scenes. They are in the building, so the characters of the building are not too complex. "Richen Pavilion" is a long-range view, and "fengmanlou" is a close-up view. Bai Letian's idioms are not used, but why they are opposite to the above sentence, which is regarded as "it's difficult for a spring to go under the ice", so the following is followed by the cold spring. Hard and slippery, yingyu Huadi, spring under the ice, describes the astringent slippery two conditions, can be described as unique. Du Mu's "grass and wood carving in the south of the Yangtze River in autumn" was originally written as "grass and wood carving". If there are still some mistakes in the local edition, it is meaningless to make "grass and wood carving". this passage is a textual research on the poem "the wind is full of buildings". I don't know much about Xu Hun's poems, and I don't know whether it is Gu or Ge. "recently, there have been many strange things. I recall that a senior brother once had a metaphor of Da Sheng. "The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building." what's the point? It's here! "
