From Song Xin Qiji's "Walking the Yellow Sand Road on the Xijiang Moonlight"
The moon on the horizon rose to the top of the tree, scaring away the magpies perched on the branches.
The cool evening breeze seems to have spread to cicadas in the distance.
In the fragrance of rice and flowers, people talk about the harvest of a year, and frogs croak in their ears, as if in a bumper harvest year.
In the old days, Maodian was near the forest, and the road turned to the stream bridge.

On the surface, the theme of this word is nothing more than some seemingly ordinary scenery. The language has no carving and no allusions. Hierarchical arrangement is completely natural and simple. However, it seems dull, but it has the poet's concentrated artistic conception and sincere feelings. Here, readers can also appreciate another realm of Jia Xuan's ci beyond the majestic and heroic. The pictures written by the author reveal people's joy and love for rural life in the harvest year. This is the author's happiness from forgetting nature. This is a poem describing rural scenery. After reading it, we can feel the beauty of a quiet life. The first paragraph of the word was written on a sunny summer night, expressing the unique taste of the countryside with the unique sounds of cicadas and frogs. The next paragraph shows the fun of playing in the cloudy night, the cloudy weather and the sudden appearance of the old place. The whole poem exudes a strong flavor of life, showing the poet's joy in the harvest year and his love for rural life.
This is a poem written by Xin Qiji, a poet in the Song Dynasty, describing rural scenery. Pay attention to the time and place when reading this word. The time is summer evening, and the place is a rural field with mountains and water. This poem describes the familiar moon, birds, cicadas, frogs, stars, rain, shops and bridges, but the poet skillfully organizes this image, which makes us feel a kind of quiet beauty. On the surface, the first two sentences of Xin Qiji's Xijiang Moon are about the wind, the moon, cicadas and magpies. But through the clever combination of the author, the result is unusual at ordinary times. The magpie is flying around the oblique and abrupt branches, not hovering over the ordinary tree heads. Because of the bright moonlight, the magpie was awakened; Magpies flying in fright will naturally cause other branches to shake. At the same time, cicadas have their own time to sing. The chirping at night is different from the neighing under the scorching sun. When the cool wind blows slowly, it is often very quiet. In short, the words "surprised magpie" and "singing cicada" contain the silence in the movement and describe the scenery under the "breeze" and "bright moon" in the middle of the night, which is leisurely and charming.
Next, "in the fragrance of rice and flowers, there is a bumper harvest, listening to the sound of frogs." People's attention has shifted from the sky to the fields, which shows that the poet is not only the main body of harvest, but also the sound of frogs, which is the originality of the poet and amazing. In the poet's feeling, he heard frogs clamoring in unison in the rice fields and quarreling over the harvest. Give the content of "speaking" first, and then make up the creation of "sound"
The above four sentences simply describe the scenery of the local mountain road on a summer night and the mood of the poets at that time, but the core is that summer night full of harvest years. Therefore, this is not so much a summer scene as the happiness that the current summer scene will bring to people.
Therefore, the poet set a steep mountain peak at the beginning of Xiatan, which strengthened the stable tone. "Seven or eight stars are outside the sky, and the path of two or three forgets to cross the' outside the sky' and cross the' piedmont'. Even the Maodian on the edge of the forest near the Shemiao, which had approached, didn't notice it. The former's "turning the road" and the latter's "suddenly enlightened" not only reflect the joy of the poet suddenly seeing the old house, but also express the ecstasy of being immersed in the fragrance of rice flowers and even forgetting the road. The two complement each other and reflect the author's profound artistic foundation, which makes people think deeply.
The original title of "Xijiang Moon" is "Huangsha Road at Night", which records the scenery and feelings the author saw when he walked in the countryside at night. After reading the first half, you must feel wonderful in silence. The phrase "the bright moon surprises the magpie" is a very detailed realism. Black magpies are extremely sensitive to light. They will wake up during the solar eclipse, fly around, cry, and the moon sets. In fact, this sentence means "the moon is crying" (Tang Zhangji's Night Sleeping Near Fengqiao), but it is more vivid and crucial than "the moon is crying". Magpies often crow when they are frightened. You can see yourself if you don't crow here. Literally, it can also avoid the accumulation of "cicadas". "The fragrance of rice flowers is vivid and profound, bringing a lively atmosphere and joy to the summer nights in the countryside. This is a typical environment. Each of these four sentences has a sound: the sound of magpies, cicadas, human voices and frogs, but each sentence also has a quiet night. These two flavors are reflected in Nightcrawler's feelings, and he is in a happy mood. The situation changed a little in the second half of the year. The rare stars in the sky indicate that time has progressed. It is clearly midnight and it is almost dawn. Rain in front of the mountain is a threat to Nightcrawler. This is a smooth wave, and you can imagine Nightcrawler's anxiety. With this wave, the conclusion is even more powerful. " In the old days, the road turned to a stream, and suddenly I saw it "is an inverted sentence, expressing the surprise of" suddenly seeing it ". I was worried about the rain, walking through the stream head and turning the road, when I suddenly saw her resting in the thatched shop by the forest. The happiness at this time can be compared with the two poems that "there is no way to recover, and there is another village" (Lu You's "Traveling to Shanxi Village"). The original title of the poem is "Huangsha Road at Night". The first six of the first eight sentences are all about scenery, and only the last two sentences show that someone is walking at night. These two sentences played a role in reflecting the whole song, so every sentence was written at night. Hide the front first, hit the nail on the head at the end, and make the finishing touch at the end. This skill is worth learning.
This word has a vivid and concrete atmosphere (usually called scenery), expressing a sense of intimacy and interest (usually referred to as goodwill for short). This whole scene blending is an artistic image. The strength of artistic image lies not in the number of plots used, but in whether those plots are typical and can be used as analogies to extend around and go deep into the deepest part of real life. If we can do this, it will be endless. When we say that China's poetic language is concise, we mean this broad representativeness and rich suggestibility.
