Appreciation of works

Appreciation of literature

This is a poem to express love by chanting things. It is a work of cherishing friends. The first sentence is a simple but imaginative one. The second one is a meaningful one. The third one implies that friendship should be valued. On the surface, it seems to ask people to think of each other, but on the back, it implies the importance of their own. The last one is a pun, which is not only close to the topic, but also close to the feelings. The third one is a wonderful and moving one. The whole poem is elegant and graceful, full of nostalgia, simple language and harmonious rhythm. It can be said that jueju is the best product. red beans are produced in the south. They are strong, bright red, round and crystal like coral. They are often used as inlays by southerners. It is said that in ancient times, there was a woman whose husband died in the border area, crying under a tree and turned into a red bean, so people called her "Acacia son". It is often used in Tang poetry to express the feeling of Acacia. Everlasting longing for each other is not limited to the range of love between men and women. There are also some friends among them. The title of this poem is "a gift to Li guinian from the river". It can be seen that the poem expresses the emotion of remembering friends. "Nanguo" (South) is not only the origin of red beans, but also the place of friends. The first sentence is "red beans born in the South", which arouses the feeling of Acacia in Houwen. The language is simple and vivid. The second sentence "spring to send a few branches" asks softly, which is natural, and the tone of sending a message appears to be particularly cordial. However, it is meaningful to ask how many branches of red bean spring is coming. This is to choose something full of affection to express feelings. "In front of the window in the coming day, will the plum blossom?" (Miscellaneous Poems by Wang Wei) the memory of plum tree reflects Hakka's deep hometown. Similarly, the red bean here is a symbol of sincere friendship. In this way, we can feel that the language is close and far away, which makes us far away from God. The third sentence is followed by the meaning of the other party's "picking more" red beans, which means "here" and "there". It is a common way in classical poetry to gather plants to express the emotion of nostalgia, such as the ancient poetry of Han Dynasty: "who will be left with the desire to gather Hibiscus by crossing the river and many herbs in lanze? Thinking in the distance "is an example. "May you pick more" seems to say: "see red beans, think of all I have." It suggests that distant friends cherish friendship and the language is sincere and moving. Here we only use Acacia to ask people, but our own Acacia can be found out of words. In this way to reveal feelings, graceful and moving, high meaning. The Song Dynasty compiled "ten thousand quatrains of Tang Dynasty", in which the word "Duo" is used as "Xiu". Using the word "Xiu" to contrast the pain of separation, because of Acacia to be afraid of Acacia, of course, is also a kind of human state under certain circumstances. Using the word "Duo" shows a kind of warm and passionate bodybuilding mood. It has a lot to do with "Duo", so "Duo" is better than "Xiu". At the end of the sentence, "Acacia" echoes with the first sentence "red bean", which is not only the name of "Acacia", but also the feeling of Acacia. "This thing is the most Acacia" is like saying: only this red bean is the most popular and unforgettable. This is a supplementary explanation of why "I wish you to collect more". And readers can appreciate more things from the words. What the poet really can't forget is self-evident. A senior adverb of "the most" has a profound meaning, which adds to the implication of pun. the whole poem is full of youth's enthusiasm and the breath of youth. It is full of love and never expresses it directly. Every sentence is inseparable from red bean. Moreover, it "transcends the image and gets its circle", which expresses the love of Acacia thoroughly. However, it is euphemistic and lively. In life, the most affectionate words are often simple and natural. Wang Wei is very good at refining this simple and typical language to express deep thoughts and feelings. So it's no surprise that this poem is shallow and affectionate and became a popular song at that time.

Comments on celebrities

"Preface to Tang poetry in snow mountain house": Wang Wei's "red beans born in the South", Wang Zhihuan's "willow tree in the East Gate", and Li Bai's "sad place in the world" all hold their hearts straight up, and they are not fake carving, leaving the banquet, and they are lost in hearing. Twenty words of empathy are fixed here! "Tang poetry commentary reader": seeing things and thinking of people, constant love all, Kuang Hongdou's real name Acacia, "I wish you to pick more", that is, earnestly asked not to forget the meaning of old friends. The sequel to a brief account of the poetic scene: red bean is called Acacia son, so I hope you can pick it up to enhance his feelings after parting. It's like Guo Yuanzhen's poem, which shows the meaning of gallantry with concentric flowers. "The essence of the Tang people's quatrains": This is to cherish the love of Acacia, the name of the red bean.

Influence of later generations

There are many famous quatrains in Tang Dynasty which are widely spread by musicians. Wang Wei's "Acacia" is one of the lyrics that the students of pear garden love to sing. According to Yunxi Youyi, Li guinian, a musician of the Tang Dynasty, was exiled in Jiangnan during an Shi rebellion. He once sang this poem at an interview with an envoy in central Hunan. When he looked at the middle of Sichuan where Xuanzong was, he burst into tears. It can be seen that this poem was recited in the Tang Dynasty. With the spread of three hundred Tang poems and its profound influence, Acacia has been recited to this day, almost a household name.

A textual research on different writings

The title of "Acacia" is "Acacia son" and "a gift to Li guinian on the river"; "a few branches in spring" and "a few branches in autumn"; and "may you pick more" and "advise you to stop picking". The version of "ten thousand quatrains of Tang Dynasty" compiled by Hong Mai, a scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, is: "red beans grow in the southern country, and autumn brings forth old branches. I advise you not to pick it. It's the most Acacia. " The jueju in Tang Dynasty can be divided into two parts: the jueju which conforms to the rhyme of pingze and the gujue which does not require the rhyme. Because "Chunqiu" is a flat tone, it can be used even if it is required by the law. But "Ji" is a flat tone and "Gu" is a tonal tone. According to the metrical requirements, "Gu" meets the standard. According to the poetic conception, acacia trees in southern China do germinate and blossom in autumn, and "old branches" already include several branches. Different versions of the sentence "I wish you to collect more" have different versions, such as "give you", "persuade you" and "stop collecting". Because "willing, giving, persuading" are in tone, and "Duo, Xiu" are in flat tone, it is not harmful to exchange the rules and regulations. It can be seen that the predecessors strictly abide by the rules. From the artistic conception of the poem, although the title of "Li guinian as a gift from the river" is deducted, it is not reasonable. "Yuanjun" should be matched with "duocaijie", while "quanjun" should be in harmony with "xiucaijie". Acacia disease bitter, make people tired, so advise people not to pick red beans. This is more moving than the hope that others will pick more.
