The Moonlit Night of Spring River Flowers Poem Appreciation

The Moonlit Night of Spring River Flowers" Tang Dynasty. Zhang Ruoxu

The tide of the Spring River is even with the sea, and the bright moon*** tide grows on the sea.

Rippling with the waves for ten million miles, where is the spring river without a bright moon!

The river flows around Fangdian, and the moon shines on the flowers and forests like shrapnel;

The frost in the air does not feel like flying, and the white sand on the tree is invisible.

The river and the sky are all in one color, and the moon is bright in the sky.

Why did you see the moon for the first time on the banks of the river? The first time I saw the moon was when it was first shining on me.

Life is endless, the river and the moon are only similar every year.

I don't know who is waiting for the moon on the river, but the Yangtze River sends the water flowing.

The white clouds are going away, and the maple is on the river.

Who is in the boat tonight? I'm not sure where I'm going to be able to find the right place for me to go.

The moon is wandering on the upper floors of the building, and it should be shining on the mirror of the departed person's makeup.

It is not possible to roll the curtains of the jade house, but it is possible to brush the anvil on the anvil of the pounding clothes.

This is the time to look at each other and not to hear each other, I wish to chase the moonlight to shine on you.

The geese and geese will never fly, and the fish and dragons will never jump into the water.

Last night, I dreamed of falling flowers in the pool, and I was sorry that I didn't return home in the middle of spring.

The water in the river is flowing in spring, and the moon is falling in the river pool.

The slanting moon is sinking and hiding the sea fog, Jieshi Xiaoxiang infinite road.

I don't know how many people will return by the moon, the falling moon shakes the river full of trees.

Interpretation:

The tide of the river in spring is so strong that it joins with the sea, and a bright moon rises from the sea as if surging out with the tide. The moonlight shone brightly on the spring river, shining with the waves for millions of miles in all places! The river zigzagged and zagged around the flowery wilderness, and the moonlight shone as if fine beads of snow were glittering in the flowery woods.

The moon was frosty, so the frost flew unnoticed, and the white sands on the continent blended with the moon color, so that it was impossible to see them clearly. The river, the sky into one color, there is no little tiny dust, bright sky only a round of lonely moon hanging high in the air. Who on the river first saw the moon? What year did the moon on the river first shine on people? The life is endless from generation to generation, only the moon on the river is always similar from year to year.

I don't know what kind of person the moon on the river is waiting for, but only the Yangtze River keeps on transporting the flowing water all the time. The wanderer is like a white cloud slowly leaving, only the thinking woman is left standing at the parting Qingfengpu not winning the sorrow. Which wanderer is drifting in a boat tonight? Where are the people who are thinking of each other upstairs in the bright moonlight? The moonlight that keeps moving on the poor upstairs should be shining on the dressing table of the departed.

The moonlight shines into the curtains of the thinking woman's door and cannot be rolled away, and it shines on her pounding anvil and cannot be brushed away. At this time look at each other the moon but each other can not hear the voice, I hope with the moonlight flow to shine on you. The geese kept flying, but could not fly out of the boundless moonlight, the moon shone on the river, the fish and dragons jumped in the water, stirring up ripples.

Last night I dreamed of flowers falling into an idle pool, but unfortunately I could not go home myself halfway through spring. The river is about to run out with the spring light, and the moon on the water pool is about to set in the west again. The slanting moon slowly sinks and hides in the sea mist, and the distance between Jieshi and Xiaoxiang's departed people is infinitely far. I don't know how many people can take advantage of the moonlight to go home, only the westward setting of the moon swaying with the feelings of separation, sprinkled with the woods along the river.

Appreciation:

The title of the poem is mesmerizing. Spring, river, flowers, moon and night, these five things concentrate on the most touching beauty of life, constituting a marvelous artistic realm that tempts one to explore.

The poet began to tackle the subject, the opening will be on the subject of hair, sketching a picture of the magnificent spring river moonlit night: the river tide even the sea, the moon *** tide. Here the "sea" is imaginary. The tide of the river is vast, as if connected to the sea, magnificent. At this time, a bright moon rises with the tide, a spectacular scene. The word "raw" gives the moon and the tide a lively life.

The moonlight shines millions of miles away, which the spring river is not in the bright moon shine! The river curves around the flowers and grasses of the spring field, the moonlight on the flowers and trees, like a layer of white snow. The poet can be described as a skillful artist, gently waving a brush, will be dyed in the moonlit night of the spring river in the strange "flowers".

At the same time, but also skillfully contribute to the "spring river flowers and moonlit night" theme. The poet's observation of the moonlight is extremely subtle: the moonlight cleanses the world of color, and dyes the world into a dream-like silver color. Therefore, "the flow of frost do not feel fly", "white sand can not be seen", only bright and clear moonlight exists. Delicate strokes, creating a fabulous realm, so that the spring river flowers and moonlit night seems particularly beautiful and quiet.

These eight lines, from big to small, from far and near, the ink gradually coalesced in a lone moon.

The clear and clear universe of heaven and earth, as if to make people enter a pure world, which naturally caused the poet's reverie meditation: "The river side of the man who first saw the moon? When did the river moon first shine on people?" The poet's mind leaps, but is closely linked to life, exploring the philosophy of life and the mysteries of the universe.

This kind of exploration, the ancients have also been, such as Cao Zhi "send should be": "heaven and earth has no end, the life of a person if the frost", Ruan Ji "Wing Huai": "life if the dust and dew, the sky is far away from the long time," and so on, but the theme of the poem is mostly to lament the universe is eternal, life is short. The theme of the poems is mostly to lament the eternity of the universe and the transience of life.

Zhang Ruoxu here, however, is unique in that his thoughts do not fall into the mold of his predecessors, but rather turn over a new idea: "Life is endless from generation to generation, and the river and the moon are only similar year after year." Individual life is transient, while the existence of human beings is a long time, because of the "endless generations" of life and "year after year is only similar" to the moon to **** survival.

This is the poet from the beauty of nature to feel a kind of comfort. Although the poet is sad about the shortness of life, but not decadence and despair, but because of the pursuit of life and love. The tone of the poem is "sad but not hurt", which allows us to hear the echo of the early Tang Dynasty.

"I don't know who I'm waiting for, but the Yangtze River sends me on my way." This is a follow-up to the previous line's "similarity". The river and the moon are the same every year. A lone moon hovering in the middle of the sky, as if waiting for someone, but can never get what they want. Under the moonlight, there is only the big river, rushing away. With the flow of the river, the poem will have waves, pushing the poem to a deeper realm.

River and moon have hatred, flowing water has no mercy, the poet naturally from the first half of the natural scenery to the picture of life, leading to the second half of the men and women love each other's sadness and hate.

The four lines of "white clouds" summarize the feelings of longing for the two places in the night of the Spring River and the moon. "White clouds", "maple", "to symbolize the feelings. The white clouds symbolize the uncertainty of the boat's whereabouts. The name "Qingfengpu" is the name of a place, but "maple" and "pu" are often used in poems to symbolize other scenes and places.

"Whose home" "where" two lines of mutual meaning, just because more than one family, a place of sadness, the poet put forward such a question, a kind of lovesickness, leading to two places of sadness, one after another, poetic feelings rippling, twists and turns.

The following eight lines of the "poor" line carry on the "where" line and write about the woman's nostalgia for the departed. However, the poet does not talk about the sadness and tears of the woman, but uses the "moon" to emphasize her nostalgia, and the sadness and tears come out. The poem anthropomorphizes the moon, and the word "wandering" is extremely evocative: firstly, the floating clouds are moving around, so the light and shadow are uncertain; secondly, the moonlight is wandering around upstairs with compassion for the thinking woman, and can't bear to go.

It wants to be the companion of the thinking woman and relieve her sorrows, so it sprinkles the soft and clear light on the mirror table, the jade curtains, and the anvil on the pounding clothes. But the woman's thoughts were not so strong as her feelings. She wanted to drive away this annoying moonlight, but the moonlight "would not go away" and "came back with a brush", sincerely clinging to her.

Here, the two actions of "rolling" and "brushing" vividly show the sorrow and confusion in the heart of the thinking woman. The moonlight caused by the feelings in the deep disturbed her, at this moment, the moon is not also shining far away from the lover? *** Look at the moonlight and can not know each other, but rely on the moon to send the feelings of love. Look at the sky: geese flying far away, flying not the light of the moon, flying in vain; look at the river, fish leaping in deep water, just stirred up the ripples, leaping is useless.

"The ruler in the fish intestine, inch heart by the goose foot". The geese, which have always been responsible for sending messages, are now unable to do so, adding to their sorrows!

The last eight lines are about the traveler, the poet used the falling flowers, running water, the moon to set off his feelings of longing for home. "flatboat son" even dreaming of home - the flowers fall into the pool, spring will be old, people are still far away from the end of the world, how can I face it! The river flows in spring, flowing away not only the natural spring, but also the youth, happiness and longing of the wanderer. The river pool falling moon, more set off his miserable feelings of loneliness.

Sinking sea fog obscures the falling moon; Jieshi, Xiaoxiang, different sides of the sky, the road is how far away. The word "heavy" emphasizes his loneliness; "infinite road" also infinitely deepens his nostalgia. He thought: in this beautiful spring river flower and moonlight night, I wonder how many people can return to their hometown by the moon! His unattached and unsettled feelings of separation, accompanied by the light of the waning moon, are sprinkled all over the riverside woods.......

"The falling moon shakes the feelings of the river full of trees", the "shaking the feelings of" in this concluding sentence - - the unceasing thoughts of the river. Unceasingly like a wisp of longing for the love of the moon, the love of the traveler, the poet's love intertwined into a piece, sprinkled in the river tree, also sprinkled in the reader's heart, the rhyme curls, swaying, intoxicated.

Expanded Information:

The poet injects new meanings into these traditional themes, blending poetic, pictorial and philosophical feelings into one, and with his depiction of the moonlit night of the spring river, he marvels at the wondrous scenery of nature, eulogizes the pure love of mankind, and broadens the scope of his sympathies for the wandering son and the thinking woman to a wider range. The sympathy for the wandering son and his wife is expanded and combined with the pursuit of philosophy of life and the exploration of the mysteries of the universe, thus creating a beautiful and faraway mood in which love, scenery and reasoning are blended together.

The whole poem is written in the context of spring, river, flowers, moon and night, with the moon as the main subject. The "moon" is the poem's scenario and integration of things, it beats the pulse of the poet, in the poem as if a life belt, through the up and down, touching the God, the poem with the moon wheel of the ups and downs and twists and turns. The moon rises - hangs high - slopes to the west - and sets in one night.

Under the light of the moon, the river, the beach, the sky, the wilderness, the maple tree, the flower forest, the flying frost, the white going, the flat boat, the tall building, the mirror, the anvil, the long-flying geese, the leaping fishes and dragons, the sleepless woman, as well as the wandering wanderer, make up the complete image of the poem, and show a picture picture full of the philosophy of life and the interest of life.

The scroll is light in tone, although the ink outlines and dots, but "ink in five colors", from black and white complement each other, the real and imaginary in the brilliant and colorful artistic effect, like a light Chinese ink painting, reflecting the beauty of the Spring River Flower and Moonlit Night and the serene mood.
