Egrets were flying in front of Xisai Mountain, peach blossoms were in full bloom, the water was fast flowing, and the Mandarin fish were fat. In a boat on the river, an old man wearing a green-colored Ruo hat and a green straw raincoat, braving the slanting wind and fine rain, was fishing on the river, and he was so fascinated by the beautiful Jiangnan spring scenery that he did not want to leave for a long time.

Criticism

This lyric describes the scene of fishing during the spring flood in the water town of Jiangnan. There are distinctive colors of the mountains and water, and the image of the fisherman, which is a landscape painting written in poems.

The first line is "the egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain", "in front of Xisai Mountain" points out the location, "egrets" is a symbol of idleness, and it is written that the egrets fly freely, which sets off the fishing father's The egret is a symbol of idleness. The second line "Peach Blossoms and Flowing Water Make Mandarin Fish Fertile" means that the peach blossoms are in full bloom and the river water is soaring, and the Mandarin fish are growing fat at this time of the year. Here the peach blossoms and the green water reflect each other, showing the lake and mountain scenery in front of Xisai Mountain in late spring, and rendering the living environment of the fisherman's father. Three or four lines "green Ruo hat, green straw raincoat, the wind and rain do not have to return", describes the fishing father fishing mood. The fishing father wears a green Ruo hat, wearing a green straw raincoat, in the wind and rain in the joy and forget to return. The "oblique wind" refers to the breeze. The whole poem is brightly colored and lively, vividly showing the fisherman's leisurely life.

In the beautiful scenery of the water town and the idealized life of the fisherman, the poem conveys the author's love of freedom and nature. What attracts us more in the lyric 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 boat on the river, the egrets in the sky, the red peaches on both sides of the river, the color is bright but also looks soft, the atmosphere is quiet but also 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 five songs of "Fishing Songs" and the seven songs of his ministers were reformed from this poem as a blueprint. The old notes all refer to Mount Xisai as being in Huzhou, which is not true. Zhang's "fishing song" word *** five, divided into the West Seaside Mountain, fishing platform, Songjiang, Xuexi, Qingcaohu, generalized fishing and fishing in rivers and lakes of happiness, its place are not in Huzhou. When according to lu yu "into the marsh" said, xisai mountain that is ezhou daoji iso: "iso a xisai mountain, that is, xuanzhenzi "fisherman" so-called 'xisai mountain before the egret wind'." When Su Shi was banished to Huangzhou, he traveled there and said, "Yuanzhen's language is extremely clear and beautiful, and I hate that its curvature has not been passed on, so I added his language to the song 'Raccoon River Sand'." (Xu Qi "Partridge Sky" word trek, see "Lefu YaYu" volume) Su Shi "Raccoon River Sand" words: "Xisai mountain before the egrets fly, scattered flowers outside the continent of the sails micro." Scattered Flowers Continent is in the middle of Yangtze River, opposite to Xisai Mountain. Xu Ju (徐俯) wrote in Partridge Sky: "White herons fly in front of Xisai Mountain, and the peach blossom water is stiff with fish. If the court is looking for Yuan Zhenzi, he will be fishing in the Yangtze River in the clear sky." Also Xisai Mountain in the Yangtze River.
