Wang Wei

Picked up the lotus day by day,

Continued to return in the evening.

Don't splash the water when you are making a stroke

I am afraid of wetting the red lotus clothes.

The word (1) dock: dock. (2) Chau: land in the water. (3) Fear: fear.

Interpretation ○ Every day, I go to pick lotus, but I often come back in the evening when the island is long and far away. Don't splash the water when you prop up the pole, for fear of getting the red lotus clothes wet.

△This poem portrays the image of a hard-working and lively lotus picker through the description of her labor life and mindset.

Appreciation and analysis of this poem is one of Wang Wei's "Five Songs with Miscellaneous Questions on Huangfu Yuexi", which is about a friend's residence. At this time, the poet had already retired to his garden, and the poem is mainly about the charm of the landscape and the garden, with the flavor of idleness. The author of this poem is very good at finding beauty in ordinary things, not only write the distinctive image of the scenery with meticulous ink, but also write an environmental atmosphere and spiritual temperament from the scenery.

The main characters of the poem are a group of innocent and lively lotus-picking girls, which is a common object of description in literature.

"Day by day the lotus picking goes, the continent long more twilight return". These two lines write about the hard labor of the young woman picking lotus, giving the reader a wide world of imagination. The first "day" is when the sun rises every day. The first "日" is a pronoun and the second "日" is a verb. The second sentence should not be interpreted as a cause-and-effect relationship between the words "the continent is long" and "return at night", which means that because the waterway is long, most of the people will not be able to come back until nighttime. This is inconsistent with the facts, because "Chau long" Lian must be more, a trip back and forth, why need all day? "Chau long" to the reader is a vast environment for picking lotus, as well as the natural scenery on both sides of the river, small families, customs; "twilight return" shows that the water, picking lotus boat only morning and evening busy. Therefore, "Chau long more twilight return" can be imagined as: endless lotus ponds growing fields of red lotus, turquoise leaves, pink petals; lotus picking girls set up the boat back and forth busy in the evening when the boat are full of return - loaded with plump lotus, loaded with the girls' Laughter, carrying unlimited poetic mood ...... between the lines fully embodies the poet entertained landscape and love of idyllic life mentality.

"Getting the Penny Mo splash water, afraid of wet red lotus clothes". Depicting a group of beautiful and lovely, innocent and naughty girls in the evening on the way home naughty playful scene. They are all intoxicated with the joy of harvest. Some of them were happily juggling with their boathooks on the water, having fun, splashing gusts of water on everyone's body; at this time someone protested petulantly: don't juggle, don't juggle! Clothes are splashing wet ...... read here, we seem to see, the girl's frolicking more joyful; the remnants of the sun's blood-red afterglow lightly coated in their bodies, each like a hibiscus just out of the water. Near and far the roof of the house with curling smoke; boat loaded with lotus become the background of decorating them, the bottom of the water color and light of the sky reflecting each other; on the shore, the shepherd boy rode on the back of the ox, played the piccolo of the evening return, the sheep bleating towards the village; between the village and the village, "strangers and traffic, dogs and chickens heard each other". ...... What an all-encompassing paradise, one can not stop thinking about it!

"Get Penny" of the word "get", cleverly sketched out the girls mischievous playful demeanor, to show the joy of their labor harvest, so that when we readers taste, such as in their presence, such as to see them, such as to hear the scene. It brings to life many of the moods on the water, making the last two sentences have the effect of sound and emotion. The word "get" also shows the poet's enjoyment of appreciation, a kind of pure and simple joy of the landscape.

The interpretation of the meaning of "red lotus clothes" has been subject to disagreement: one believes that it refers to the petals of the lotus flower, and that "the tender bamboo contains new powder, and the red lotus has fallen into the old clothes" means this; another believes that it refers to the clothes of the young girl who picks the lotus. In the Li Sao, "I will not leave you, but I will repair my first clothes. I will make the water lily as my clothes, and the hibiscus as my dress. I do not know that it is also already Ruoxi, Gou Yu feelings of its letter Fang", can be seen "red lotus clothes" indicates the purity and beauty of the young girl to wear appropriate. Both of the above are based on what they say. But carefully examine the picture of the context, the object described here is a person, it seems that the latter's words to consider more profound; Secondly, the red lotus grows in the water, and how the water droplets can not wet its petals, why "afraid of the wet red lotus clothes"? The former said obviously unreasonable gas.

"Red lotus clothes" can not be understood as the maidens wearing red lotus petals like beautiful clothes. This interpretation is very incompatible with the labor of lotus picking, losing the laborer's **** - the beauty of simplicity; therefore, it should be interpreted as follows: the fiery red sunset shines on the girls, dyeing their clothes red, so that these clothes are just like the petals of the red lotus that has just come out of the water, as beautiful as the petals of the red lotus.

The "red lotus" in the poem is a carefully chosen natural object, through which the poet intends to imply the purity of mind of the lotus-picking maidens; and secondly, the ancients liked to use "lotus" as a metaphor for the noble qualities of the people who do not share the world's dirt. Song Dynasty philosopher Zhou Dunyi wrote "Love Lotus", the noble qualities of the lotus made some praise: "I only love the lotus out of the silt and mud without dyeing, the Maundy League and not demon, in the middle of the straight outside, without spreading, fragrance far from the clear, Pavilion net planting can be far from the view and can not be blasphemous to play it.

Which " out of the silt and not stained " has become a highly summarized the excellent quality of the lotus quotes, recited throughout the ages. The author of this poem describes the labor of a group of young girls picking lotus flowers and compares their clothes to the "red lotus clothes", which shows the poet's interest in escaping from reality, indifferent to fame and fortune, and transcending the world after his seclusion in the idyllic garden, and reveals his tranquil and pure state of mind.

The Lotus Dock***20 words, but the picture contains a very rich content; there is the sunrise, sunset, the sky, the earth, the oasis, the blue water, the red lotus; there is a lotus picking girl hard and busy labor; there is a harvest on the way back to the hustle and bustle; there are readers can not imagine the lens - the two sides of the small families, a unique and quiet life! The reader's imagination is also full of shots - small families on both sides of the river, unique and peaceful life, beautiful and exquisite natural scenery ...... The picture is full of color (colorful), sound, and shape, which is really wonderful.

Wang Wei's landscapes and idyllic poems are good at integrating the art of painting - color, composition and other means of expression - into their creation. The Lotus Dock" emphasizes the arrangement of the near scene and distant scene levels to make the picture orderly. The poet is also aware of the different aesthetic characteristics of different colors, and is good at using this characteristic (sense of form) to express his meaning. Although there are many colors in this poem, red and green are the main colors. Red makes people feel warm and festive; green is a symbol of youth, life, peace and tranquility. The poet's emphasis on red and green is intended to express his love and praise for the idyllic life and the indifference and serenity of his seclusion
