The white herons fly in front of Xisai Mountain, and the fish of the Peach Blossom Stream Siniperca chuatsi are fat.
Green Ruo hat, green straw raincoat, oblique wind and fine rain do not have to return.
Appreciation
The only words of Zhang Zhihe that have been preserved are the five "Fisherman's Songs" (originally titled "Fisherman's Father"), of which this is the first. Xisai Mountain, on the Xicama River in present-day Wuxing County, Zhejiang Province, was once called Daoshiji, a large rocky outcrop protruding from the river. Xicang River leads to Taihu Lake in the north and Moganshan Mountain in the south, and the scenery is very beautiful. Zhang Zhihe's lyric depicts the scenery during the spring flood season, reflecting the loveliness of the water towns in the Taihu Lake area.
The egret is the kind of water bird usually called heron. From a distance, it looks a bit like a white crane, with exceptionally long legs and neck, making it easy to find food in the water. "Peach Blossom Water" is peach blossom water. The south every year in February and March, the peach blossom, the weather is warm, the rain is more than the winter, under a few spring rains, the river will rise, so against the water of the fish will be up. The author did not simply say that the spring floods, but with "peach blossom water Mandarin fish fat" to describe, which can arouse the reader's imagination, so that people seem to see the two banks of the peach blossom, red peach blossom; river steeply rising, the south of the Yangtze River, the unique Mandarin fish leap out of the water from time to time, and how fat ah. "Siniperca chuatsi is a kind of freshwater fish with a particularly delicious taste, a big mouth and thin scales, and a yellowish-brown color. Spring flood came, of course, fishermen will not be idle, they are also busy. "Green Ruo hat, green straw raincoat, the wind and rain do not have to return" are written by them. "Ruo hat" is made of bamboo wire and green Ruo bamboo leaves woven hat. "Demoiselle" is a rain coat made of plant stems and leaves or skin. If it is made from Longshu Grass (Demoiselle), it is green in color. "Return", go home. "No need to return" means no need to go home either. Although the author only summarized the fisherman's fishing life in the words, the readers can fully appreciate the meaning of the words through their own imagination. From the fisherman wearing an Ruo hat and a straw raincoat, enjoying the scenery of the spring water in the wind and rain, the reader can realize the fisherman's happy mood when he is fishing.
The author was a landscape painter, and it is said that he once painted "The Fishing Song" as a picture. Indeed, the lyric is rich in picturesque. The pale rocks, the egrets, the brightly colored peach forests, the clear running water, the tawny Mandarin fish, the green bucket hat, the green straw raincoat, how vivid the colors are, and how cleverly conceived, and how beautiful the mood is, so that when one reads the work, it is as if one were looking at an outstanding picture of spring floods in a water town.
This word puts the author's love of freedom and nature in the beautiful water town scenery and idealized fisherman's life. What attracts the readers more is not the fisherman in a straw raincoat raining and wind, but the picture of the rising water of the spring river and the misty rain during the peach blossom flood in February in Jiangxiang. The green hills in the rain, the fishing boats on the river, the egrets in the sky, the red peaches on both sides of the river, the color is bright but looks soft, the atmosphere is quiet but energetic. This not only reflects the author's artistic craftsmanship, but also reflects his lofty, tranquil and leisurely interest. After the poem was written, it was not only sung by many people, but also spread overseas, opening the way for Chinese poets to fill in the words for the eastern neighboring Japan. Emperor Saga's "Fisherman's Songs", five songs, and his ministers' seven songs, were reformed from this poem.
Su Zizhan loved the lyrics, and when he realized that the sound was not singable, he slightly improved them and sent them to Raccoon Stream Sage, saying: "White herons flew in front of the Xisai Mountains, and the sails outside the Scattered Flowers Continent were small. Peach blossom water Mandarin fish fat. Since the cover of a green Ruo hat, with everywhere green Demoiselle. The wind and rain do not have to return." Huang Lu Zhi heard and followed the work. Jianghu said the mountain even stretching into the water for the iso, Taiping State iso said the new woman, Chizhou has a Pu said daughter. Lu straight curiosity, occasionally to the name of the right and not paid. Appropriate for this word, is the cloud: "the new woman iso head eyebrow sadness, daughter Pukou eyes fall. Frightened fish mistakenly recognized the moon sinking hook. Green Ruo hat before unlimited things, green Demoiselle bottom a moment off. The wind and rain turn the boat head." Zi Zhan heard and play said: "only out of the new woman iso, will enter the daughter Pu, Zhi and get a prodigal son without a fisherman father yeah!" People all spread as a joke. The former style is slightly exhaustive, the idea of lamentation. Small building Valley hidden, to not have a party outside of the Shi time to surround each other. I am not Lugong, certainly can not Zhi and, however, also get a similar to the person and swim also.
Shan Gu (Huang Tingjian) in his later years, also regretted that the former work is not work, because his cousin Li Ruchi words "Fisherman's Words" to "Partridge Sky" song is very melodious, hated the language less sound more ears. Because of the portrait of Emperor Xianzong for Xuanzhen Zi article, and Xuanzhen's brother Songling persuaded to return to the meaning of the foot before and after a few lines of cloud: "White herons fly in front of the Xisai Mountains, peach blossom water Siniperca chuatsi fish fat. The court is still looking for Xuanzhenzi, where now more poetry? Green Ruo hat, green straw raincoat, the wind and rain do not have to return. People want to avoid the storm risk, one day storm twelve hours." Dongpo laughed and said: Lu straight is a storm on the ground.
