What is the creative background of Moonlight on the Lotus Pond?

Moonlight on the Lotus Pond was written in February 1927. At this time, the author is teaching in the Chinese Department of Tsinghua University. While teaching, he devoted himself to the study of classical literature. However, he took an evasive attitude towards the bloody reality of harsh white terror after the failure of the Great Revolution, but he could not turn a blind eye, so there were always many contradictions and sorrows in his thoughts. His famous essay mainly describes the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond in the moonlight, and also reflects some shadows of his contradictions and depression. The full text can be divided into three paragraphs. The first paragraph (the first natural paragraph) points out the theme, creates a quiet and beautiful atmosphere and leads to the full text. This paragraph closely follows the title of the article and points out the content of the description with an appetizing thought ("it suddenly occurred to me that ... should be different"); Then, when describing the dead of night from the aspects of "the moon", "children's laughter" and "sleeping in a daze", the reader is gradually introduced into a quiet realm, which also becomes an excellent cause of the full text. In the whole paragraph, there are explanations of artistic conception, scenery, time and place. Eyebrows are fresh and writing is natural. The second paragraph (the second to sixth natural paragraphs) focuses on the beautiful scenery of the moonlight in the lotus pond. Write the route first (the second and third paragraphs). "Along the lotus pond, there is a winding little cinder road", which is quiet and lonely, surrounded by "lush" trees, and then caged by "faint moonlight", forming a quiet and quiet atmosphere, which is the momentum of the whole article. "Moonless night, cloudy road, a little scary" as a contrast, even more set off the unique charm of this scene under the moonlight tonight. In this quiet world, "I" seem to be in another world, suddenly feel that I am a "free man" and express my special appreciation and love for this world. Continue to write the lotus pond (the fourth natural section). This is to write the lotus leaf and crystal lotus in the field first; Leaves are different from flowers. The more refined, the cleaner they are. Then write lotus fragrance, "the breeze blows, bringing a faint fragrance", which is fragrant but not turbid, "like a faint song from a distant building". Comparing "singing" with "lotus fragrance" is really novel and thorough, conveying a delicate and fragrant lasting appeal. Where there is a breeze, there will be movement. Then, I wrote down the instantaneous dynamics of flowers and leaves when the breeze passed, showing the cheerful and lively situation of leaves and flowers from the dynamics. This dynamic reflects the static state above, making the image more vivid. Finally, the "flowing water" covered with lotus leaves is pointed out. Although it can't see "some colors", the leaves are touched "more charming" by its flowing sound, and the whole picture is more charming. Then write moonlight (the fifth paragraph). First, write "like running water" and moonlight "quietly leaking on this leaf and flower", which is to draw a background color for the picture: plain, quiet and soft. "There is a thin blue fog floating in the lotus pond" makes the picture look confused and empty. In this color, "leaves and flowers seem to be washed in milk; Like a veiled dream. How vivid and charming the image is. The first two sentences are dynamic descriptions of static things, and the verbs "Xie" and "Fu" in the sentences are extremely refined and vivid, showing the author's meticulous observation, meticulous body work and meticulous language tempering. The two metaphors in the last two sentences are vivid and poetic. Then write shadows. The shadow is caused by the moonlight separating the trees, so it naturally becomes a foil to the moonlight. "Uneven and mottled shadows", "sparse and beautiful images" and "like paintings on lotus leaves" are like a faint ink painting. Finally, he co-wrote "Light and Shadow": "The moonlight in the pond is uneven; But light and shadow have a harmonious melody, such as the famous music played by Van Gogh, which is a magical metaphor from association. With the help of association and contrast, the author makes this moonlight picture of the lotus pond more vivid. In the sixth paragraph, write the lotus pond under the moon. " Far and near are trees ",always written around. At first glance, the shade looks like a cloud of smoke, but the charm of willow trees can also be recognized in the smoke. This is a description of the nearby mountains, and then a vague description of the distant mountains. However, one or two street lamps "listless" and "sleepy" leaking from the cracks in the trees are still a quiet and lonely scene. "This time, the most lively is the cicada in the tree and the frog in the water. "This kind of" lively "noise is a contrast, which makes the quiet and lonely atmosphere more intense. The above is the second paragraph, focusing on the beautiful moonlight of the lotus pond. There are sketches, detailed descriptions, renderings and foil, which are flexible and orderly. Attract readers as if they were there, and share their beautiful feelings with the author. The third paragraph (the last few natural paragraphs) is mainly lyrical, expressing the homesickness inspired by the scenery under the moon. "I suddenly thought of picking lotus", which is a new idea. Then, the article traces the grand occasion of picking lotus in history, and quotes the poems in the Western Zhou Dynasty Song, expressing the yearning for the grand occasion of picking lotus. Take back the scene in front of us, "If there are lotus pickers tonight, the lotus here will be over the top", echoing the previous article, further comparing the past with the present, giving people the regret that it is impossible to see only some shadows of running water, which naturally affects the homesickness of "this makes me finally miss Jiangnan". This emotional text is far and near, so it is best to put it away and put it away skillfully. This is the most obvious and tortuous work. To sum up, Moonlight on the Lotus Pond vividly depicts the charming scene of the lotus pond on a moonlit night, expresses the author's appreciation and joy for the natural scenery, and also reveals a touch of homesickness. This homesickness is the projection of the author's repressed contradictory mood in his works at that time. The writing characteristics of this essay are: 1, and the structure is rigorous and natural. The article "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" shows from the "quite uneasy" mood that going to see the moonlight on the lotus pond is to pursue a moment of leisure in a hurry. It is natural for the author to speak freely. The second part of the article describes the scenery, where the clues of the author walking along the "I" are displayed layer by layer: from the path leading to the lotus pond, from walking alone with his hands behind his back, to standing and looking around, and then to reading it carefully, with infinite vision, forming an obvious spatial order, thus depicting the wonderful scene of the moonlight in the lotus pond in an orderly way, and also revealing the faint joy of "rare free moments". The last part is the feeling at the scene, expressing the faint homesickness in imagination. The full text closely revolves around the topic, which seems to be effortless, but in fact it is showing meticulous but not rigid, rigorous and extremely natural structural art. 2. Delicate description and vivid expression: The images described in the prose, regardless of lotus leaves, lotus flowers, moonlight and shadows, are extremely vivid and elegant. The author is good at grasping the characteristics of images and portraying them with wonderful associations and appropriate metaphors. For example, comparing lotus leaves to dancers' skirts and lotus flowers to pearls and stars in the blue sky all show the vivid modality of the scenery in detail and vividly. It is particularly noteworthy that many scenes, such as the fragrance of lotus flowers and the silence of moonlight, are difficult to describe in words. For these scenes, which are extremely difficult to describe, the author can express them with his magical associations and vivid metaphors, so that readers can enter an artistic conception of blending scenes and experience the feeling of beauty. Natural, meticulous and vivid description must be based on meticulous observation and feeling, not just on the accumulation of beautiful words. It is not good to go beyond observing feelings and only pursue skills such as metaphor and association. Mr. Zhu Ziqing pays great attention to careful observation and feeling. He thinks that only in this way can we "distinguish many new and different flavors".
