Bird-singing Stream is the first poem of Five Miscellaneous Talks on Yunxi of Huangfuyue written by Wang Wei, a poet in Tang Dynasty.
Original: people are idle, osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and the mountains are empty. When the moon comes out, the birds are startled, and the sound enters the spring stream.
There is no sound, osmanthus is falling gently. Castle peak and clear forest are more empty. The bright moon rose, which alarmed several perched mountain birds. The crisp song echoed in the empty mountain stream for a long time.
This poem depicts the tranquility and beauty of the spring night in the mountains, with the focus on the tranquility and beauty of the spring night in the mountains. The whole poem closely follows the word "quiet", which is very similar to a landscape sketch.
With moving scenery such as falling flowers, moonrise and birdsong, the poet highlights the quietness of the spring mountain on a moonlit night, achieves the artistic effect of static contrast, and vividly outlines a poetic picture of the bat "Tonamiyama is more secluded". The whole poem is aimed at writing quietly, but it is handled with moving scenery. This contrast is very obvious to the poet's Zen and interest.
There are different opinions about the osmanthus in this poem. One explanation is that there are different kinds of sweet-scented osmanthus, including spring flowers, autumn flowers and four-season flowers. Here is a kind of spring flowers.
Another view is that literary and artistic creation does not have to copy life. It is said that Wang Wei's "Yuan An Lying in the Snow" has green plantains in the snow, and things that cannot appear at the same time in real life are allowed in literary and artistic creation. But this poem is one of the five miscellaneous topics of Huangfuyue Yunxi where Wang Wei's friends live.
Each of the five poems describes a landscape, which is close to landscape sketch, but different from ordinary freehand brushwork. Therefore, it is appropriate to interpret it as the real spring laurel in the mountains at this time.
Wang Wei likes to create a peaceful artistic conception in his landscape poems, and so does this poem. But the poem is about flowers falling, the moon rising and birds singing. These moving scenery not only make the poem look full of vitality, but also show the tranquility of the spring through movement.
On the contrary, dynamic scene can achieve static effect, because the two sides of contradiction are always interdependent. Under certain conditions, movement can occur or be noticed, which is based on silence. "Tonamiyama is more secluded" contains artistic dialectics.
