(translation: the curved hook moon hangs on the sparse buttonwood; The night is very quiet, and the water in the clepsydra has dripped out. Who has ever seen a lonely man walking alone, like a lonely goose in the sky?
In the dark, it was suddenly frightened, suddenly flew up and turned around frequently, but no one understood its infinite hatred. It kept wandering among the cold branches, but refused to perch on any tree, and finally landed alone on the cold sandbar. )
It's the scenery I saw in the yard in the middle of the night written by Shangcheng. "The lack of the moon hangs the sparse tung, which makes people quiet." It creates a lonely atmosphere in the dead of night, and the moon hangs on the tree, paving the way for you and Gu Hong to appear. "Leak" refers to the leaky pot used by the ancients for timing: "Leak" means late at night. Su Shi stepped out of the courtyard and looked up at the bright moon when the water in leaky cauldron was quieter. What a lonely night it was! The moon seems to have a sense of interest, showing its brightness from the sparse tung trees, like hanging on the branches. These two sentences are extraordinary, rendering a realm of loneliness. The next two sentences, "Who saw a lonely man walking alone?" It's so quiet around, so quiet. At this moment when everything is dreaming, who wanders alone in the moonlight like himself and flies across the sky like a lonely goose?
Firstly, the image of a lonely person with many worries is pointed out, and then loneliness is felt from the lonely person, which makes these two images fit together correspondingly and makes people think: isn't the lonely mood of the lonely person like the lonely shadow of a fairy? These two sentences are not only true writing, but also through the correspondence and grafting of human and bird images, which greatly strengthens the transcendence of "wandering" and has symbolic significance and poetic beauty. Things and I are the same, complement each other, and make the image of loneliness more concrete and touching.
Xia Tan even wrote Hong with others, "When you start, you turn back and no one can save you." This is to write directly about your lonely mood. When people are lonely, they always look around, look back and find more loneliness. There are no annoying people. Who can understand their lonely hearts? Loneliness is unbearable without a confidant in the world.
"If the cold branches are not born, the lonely sandbar is cold." Writing about Gu Hong's misfortune, he was deeply resentful and terrified. He flew between cold branches, picked up all the cold branches and refused to live. He had to stay on a lonely and cold sandbar and spend such a cold night. Here, the poet uses symbolism and ingenuity to look back, hold a grudge and choose a place to cross the loneliness of Hong, expressing the lonely situation of the author during his relegation to Huangzhou and his noble and confident state of mind that he does not want to go with the flow. The author and Gu Hong appreciate each other, personify Gu Hong's psychological activities and objectify their subjective feelings, showing superb artistic skills.
The realm of this word is indeed as Huang Tingjian said: "It is like eating fireworks and cannibalizing people. There is no thousands of books in the chest and no tacky things in the pen. How can you get this!" This lofty realm of freedom beyond the secular world benefits from exquisite artistic skills. The author "eulogizes the story with the spirit of nature", digress from the theme of God, set the context in his mind, and support people with things; In the description of the environmental background of Lonely Rainbow and Moonlit Night, the narrative of scene selection is concise, ethereal, implicit, vivid and typical.
This word has always been controversial. Among them, the phrase "picking up all the cold branches and refusing to give birth" is regarded as a linguistic disease by many commentators, because geese live in fields and reeds, not on the branches of phoenix trees. Another annotator thinks that cold branches don't necessarily refer to sycamore branches, but also refer to reed branches; Another note is that there are no wild geese living in the "cold branch", so there is nothing wrong with "receiving" and "refusing to live".
However, I personally think that this statement has no practical significance. "Lonely Hong" itself is the author's highly abstract literary image, which plays a role in expressing the theme. As for whether the cold branch is a phoenix tree branch or a reed branch, this question is not critical. The important thing is that the lonely flood is a spiritual symbol of nobility and refinement.
It is said that this word involves a beautiful legend. Mrs. Su Shi's Wang Yingnian died young, and he himself was framed and exiled to a remote Huangzhou. All the soldiers and horses in Huangzhou are surnamed Wen. He has a smart, virtuous and beautiful daughter. Prince Sun and the celebrity bachelors who proposed marriage were in an endless stream, and Miss Wen refused all of them. When she learned that Su Shi had come to Huangzhou, she told people happily in private: "My husband should be like this."
Coincidentally, Su Shi became a neighbor of the Wen family. After listening to Su Shi's poems every night, Miss Wen crept to the yard near Su Jia and listened attentively. Su Shi later found someone peeping and opened the window, only to see a beautiful girl who disappeared in a hurry. After a long time, Su Shi understood the girl's mind. When she visited the Wen family, she talked about it, and the supervisor Wen expressed her daughter's mind on the spot. Su Shi was deeply moved and said, "This is my great honor. I should ask someone to be a matchmaker and get married for a hundred years. "
However, before Su Shi could find a matchmaker, the imperial edict came again, and he was demoted to Chaozhou again, and he arrived within a time limit. Otherwise, he will be sentenced to death for resisting the law. Helpless, Su Shi had no time to say goodbye to Miss Wen and left overnight. In this way, the proposal was put on hold. A few years later, Su Shi was pardoned and returned to the north. When he passed through Huangzhou, he realized that Miss Wen was already terminally ill because she missed Su Shi.
Su Shi came to Miss Wen's grave, facing the loess of Artemisia annua, his soul was nowhere to be found, and he was heartbroken. She said with tears, "lonely sandbar is cold." It is a beautiful love to be attached to a person for talent and morality. It can arouse active emotions, revive the dead, make people live in the desert, and make lovers' hallucinations reappear. ...
The great blow of Wutai poetry case became the turning point of Su Shi's life. Taking this incident as the boundary, Su Shi's poetry works have both inheritance and obvious differences in creation. Behind the "going home" complex that runs through, Su Shi's brushwork has gradually turned from a teenager's endless sigh to a middle-aged helplessness and an old man's broad-mindedness-getting older, more mature and more plain.
In A.D. 1082, Su Shi was 47 years old and was demoted to Huangzhou for more than two years because of Wutai Poetry. In his depression, he visited Chibi Mountain outside Huangzhou for many times, and wrote famous works such as "Red Cliff Fu", "After Red Cliff Fu" and "Nian Nujiao, Red Cliff Nostalgia" to express his thoughts and feelings in exile. In his spare time, he led his family to cultivate a sloping land in the east of the city to help make a living. The nickname "Dongpo lay man" was coined by Su Shi at this time.
Lin Yutang once said in the biography of Su Dongpo: "Su Dongpo died, and his name is just a memory, but what he left us is his inner joy and his thoughts, which are immortal."
Now when we talk about Cold in lonely sandbar, we think of Steve Chou's song of the same name, in which lovers are flying separately. "When the thread of memory is entangled in the past, it is panic that occupies the heart. With flowers and butterflies, lonely geese can fly together and wander alone in the dead of night. " "Who should I miss in the lonely sandbar?" I hope that when you hear this song today, you will also think of being wronged and demoted to Huangzhou, living alone with Dongpo's family and enjoying each other alone.
