The beauty of Tang poetry is difficult to describe in words. Although some works only describe ordinary landscapes, because of their vivid and interesting writing, they turn corruption into magical beauty. For ordinary readers like us, after seeing the beautiful scenery and watching it, it is impossible to have another idea, and we do not know how to truly appreciate the beauty in it. But the poets are different. Their inner emotions are delicate and their observation of things is more profound, so even if they describe the scenery, they are depicted in a picturesque manner.
This song “Chuzhou Xijian” by Wei Yingwu is a very interesting work. The poem is vivid and interesting, and every sentence is a classic. It is really as beautiful as a painting, and when you read it, you will have a feeling of being there. It is precisely because of its lyricism and delicate description of things that Tang poetry creates a unique beauty. Well, most of Wei Yingwu’s poems are vivid and interesting, and the writing is also very expressive, but they are so handy, but they are beautiful.
“Chuzhou Xijian”
Tang Dynasty: Wei Yingwu
Lonely pity the secluded grass and stream, with oriole deep in the trees.
The spring tide brings the rain late, and there is no boat in the wild crossing.
Wei Yingwu happened to be the governor of Chuzhou when he wrote this poem, and he likes to travel. As soon as I have free time, I go outside to play. This poem is exactly what he traveled outside of Chuzhou and saw the beautiful local scenery, so he was moved and wrote such an interesting poem, which is exactly what he told the world. , He likes the scenery of Chuzhou the most, and the scenery there is also different from other places.
Then this poem actually does not have any superb expressive techniques, nor does it use allusions, nor does it have a single uncommon word, it is just so lightly written, but it also creates a beautiful artistic conception; The first two sentences are very interesting, and it immediately makes the poem full of poetic and picturesque, “Lonely pity the grass grows on the edge of the stream, and the oriole is deep in the trees.”, I like this stream just now. The growing grass, which is growing wildly at this time, looks lush and magnificent, and the call of the oriole bird deep in the woods is also clear and sweet, all of which make people feel relaxed and happy.
The last two sentences are more vivid and interesting, and more beautiful. The same spring beauty, which makes the poet’s poetry flourish, “The spring tide brings rain in a hurry at night, and there is no boat on the wild ferry.” It was just in the evening, the spring tide began to rise, the spring rain was also pattering, and the water flow in the Xijian It is also very fast. There is no pedestrian in the distant wilderness ferry, only a small boat leisurely across the water. These two sentences complement the previous two sentences, making the whole poem more appealing.
I like the last sentence the most: the wild crossing is unmanned. This sentence is not so much a poem as it is an oil painting. The poet is just so handy, but it is full of poetry, which makes this sentence unique. It is because of the rain that people have left, but the poet is still in the light rain. Walking in the middle, I saw a completely different beauty and wrote such a vivid and interesting poem.
Although Wei Yingwu is not very famous, he cannot compare with Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei and Bai Juyi. Compared with the poets of the same level, this “Chuzhou Xijian” is emotionally delicate and full of poetry, which makes us feel different spring beauty, and the poet observes things delicately. If he observes things carefully, Naturally, we cannot write such beautiful poems, so by reading such works, we can also learn a lot from them. A person must love life, observe the things around him at all times, and discover different beauty from them. Life is more fulfilling and more poetic.
