Zhang's Moonlit Night on the Spring River has been highly valued and admired by critics since the Ming Dynasty. Wang Kaiyun in Qing Dynasty commented that this poem was "an isolated poem, but it was written for everyone". Li Shanghe is hidden, fresh and moist; Song poetry and Yuan poetry are its tributaries. "Wen Yiduo's" Redemption of Palace Poetry "said:" That is a more different cosmic consciousness! Deeper, wider and quieter realm! ..... This is the poem in the poem, the peak in the peak! "Of course, whether it is too beautiful is another matter, but at least it shows that" Moonlit Night on a Spring River "is extraordinary.
When I was a sophomore, I learned Zhang's Moonlit Night on the Spring River. At that time, under the leadership of the Chinese teacher, I began to walk into the moonlit night by a spring river. After the lecture, I also wrote an appreciative vernacular poem, so I have always been impressed by it. Fortunately, I can reread this poem in college to understand and enjoy it from a higher level. I have to say it's fate. Because no matter who really reads this poem, he must respect the author and praise the work, and he can get something precious from it. Why? How to judge the level and artistic conception of a poem without losing fairness and justice? Xie Zhen in the Ming Dynasty said in Four Poems that "all modern poems should be well recited, well heard, well read and well spoken. Like flowing clouds, listening to the golden sound and jade sound, watching the dawn disperse, talking alone. "Tang poetry pays attention to sound, color and meaning. Sound refers to harmony and pursuit of a kind of rhythmic beauty, so Tang poetry is often called rhythmic poetry. Color belongs to the beauty of words and appeals to vision. Meaning, of course, refers to profound thoughts and touching feelings, and is also a part of "expressing one's will through poetry". [1] From this perspective, Zhang's "Moonlit Night on a Spring River" is a model of the combination of the three, allowing readers to enjoy beauty from three aspects: ears, eyes and heart.
The whole poem * * * 36 sentences, four sentences and one rhyme, * * * nine sections. The structure is neat and the melody fluctuates, just like a melodious serenade lingering in the ear, like a dream! There are four rhymes, the first two sentences describe the scenery, the last two sentences are lyrical, and the voices, faces and smiles dance with each other, just like the unique spring, river, flowers, moon and night between heaven and earth, and everything else is just a foil.
Let me start with poetry and savor the mystery.
First, from the beginning of the month, everything started.
Lian Haiping is in the spring tide, and the bright moon on the sea is born in the tide. I drift thousands of miles, where there is no moon by the river!
The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlight shines on the flower forest like graupel. Frost flows in the air, you can't fly, but you can't see the white sand on the pavilion.
The first two sections point out the artistic conception of "spring", "river", "flower" and "moon", implying the artistic conception of "night". At this time, the moon rises. Look at the sentence "The bright moon on the sea is born in the tide". The water and the moon are in harmony, and the bright moon "climbs" out of the tide. When the night comes, everything about the night begins. On the moonlit night, the river flows around the flower shop, and the moon breaks into graupel under the tree. Even the flying "frost" and "white sand on the pavilion" are "invisible", which shows how bright Na Yue is! The story happened on such a bright night, how can it not make people daydream again and again?
Second, the moon rises and the situation begins to appear.
There is no dust in the sky on the river, and there is a lonely moon in the sky. Who saw the moon by the river for the first time? When did Jiang Yue take the photo at the beginning of the year?
Life is endless from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue is only similar year after year. I don't know who Jiang Yue is waiting for, but I see the Yangtze River delivering water.
The sentence "There is no dust on the river, and there is a lonely moon in the sky" tells the vastness of heaven and earth, and the river and the sky blend together, as if there is only one bright moon hanging high between heaven and earth. "Who first saw the moon by the river? When was the photo taken at the beginning of Jiangyue? " The sentence begins to tell the hero's loneliness. Man and the moon are not the first time to meet, but they are familiar with each other. The moon is lonely, so are people. "Endless, generation after generation, Jiang Yue just similar year after year. I don't know who Jiang Yue is waiting for, but I see the Yangtze River delivering water. " It is to connect the preceding with the following, feel that time flies, and compare the finiteness of human life as an individual and the relative infinity of the whole human being with the infinity of Jiangyue, so as to reflect on the preciousness of life and time and persuade people to learn to cherish and be philosophical.
Third, the bright moon shines in the sky and I feel sad.
The white clouds have gone, and Qingfeng is at a loss. Whose boat is flat tonight, where to miss the bright moon building.
Poor people wander upstairs for the moon, so they should leave someone to fill the mirror. The curtain of the jade pot could not be rolled up, but it was brushed back on the anvil.
Recalling the farewell scene of that year, the poet used the word "endless sadness" to express his infinite sadness. Anyone who sees it will be moved by it, and who in the whole world can avoid the pain of parting? Look at "Who's going boating tonight", who's gone out and come back? None of them. Only the woman in front of the toilet mirror is upstairs, complaining to the bright moon. In fact, the phrase "wandering upstairs and under the moon" is just pity for wandering alone. If you feel lonely, you will feel that the whole world is integrated with you, just as lonely. Now, the pain of lovesickness "cannot be swept away" and "brushed back", which shows that it suffers from lovesickness. That waiting heart is accompanied by the torment of lingering thoughts every night. What a scene this is.
Fourth, the moon is west, so is the heart.
At this time, I don't know each other. I hope China will shine on you every month. Hongyan flies in the sky, and fish Long Qian jumps in the water.
Tonight, the moonlight is breezy, the moon is high and the clouds are light. Far away, you should miss each other under the moon, but you can't hear each other's voice. I firmly believe that our hearts are still connected. Mingyue has spent countless lovesickness nights with me. I hope it can also help you solve your loneliness.
5. The moon is setting, poor you.
Last night, I dreamed that the idle pool had fallen, and the poor spring had not returned. In spring, the river flows away, and the pond falls in the moon and the west.
Last night, I dreamed that the flowers on the leisure pool had fallen. Yes, spring has passed, lovely person, why haven't you come home yet? The water by the river sent spring away at a glance, and the bright moon in the sky also fell to the west. Why don't you come back? Seeing this, the owner in the poem must have become a tearful person. As a reader, I really can't help mourning, sighing and even crying for the protagonist.
Six, the moon sets, I miss you.
The slanting moon hides the sea fog, and Jieshi Xiaoxiang Road is infinite. I don't know how many people return home every month, and the moon is full of rivers and trees.
The moon has finally set in the west. I wonder if anyone will go home by moonlight, but the way home is so far away. "The Moon Rocks the River Tree" is about the homesickness that the moon can't bear to set, but still struggles in the tree, overflowing the last ray of emotion. In fact, the protagonist is reluctant to accompany her to leave the moon and is struggling to retain the bright moon. Yes, dear people have been away from home for many years. Who can share the deep lovesickness for the protagonist except the bright moon! Now the moon will leave soon? How can you not regret it?
The whole poem has come to an end, but the thinking it brings us has been coiled in our hearts for a long time. The whole poem is not only exquisitely laid out, but also rhythmic, which is why the pipa Moonlit Night on a Spring River, which is adapted from the poem, has become a model of Chinese classical music and spread all over the world. Moreover, its language is beautiful and full of philosophy, especially the sentence "endless, passed down from generation to generation, Jiang Yue is only similar every year." I don't know who Jiang Yue is waiting for, but I see the Yangtze River delivering water. "It also tells the contrast between the limited life of an individual and the infinite space of the universe, which is still widely read today. Zhang's Moonlit Night on the Spring River is enough to stand at the peak of the times, look back at the cultural origin of the relationship between man and nature with its cosmic spirit, and lead the immortal classics of the soul. This is the charm of' single article overwhelming the whole Tang Dynasty' and' convincing people'. " Only people with outstanding achievements and far-reaching influence deserve to be everyone. It is unique in the history of literature to be respected as everyone by just one poem. "Mr Cheng Qianfan's words are very insightful. [2]
After really savoring this poem, I seem to have changed from a spiritual poor to a spiritual rich man. My heart also rises and falls with the hero's heart, from acacia to deep acacia, and then to acacia. The hero's mood changes from loneliness to complaining with the moon, and then returning to loneliness when the moon sets. My heart seems to have been baptized by the poet's spirit. It turns out that acacia is this thing, so this is love, this is home, and a heart grows up like this. Although the beloved person in the hero's heart is still out of reach, who can be unmoved by that loyal and torn heart?

Postscript: This is a paper I wrote in college. After many years, it is still very kind to read. From 2005 to 2007, I was enlightened by two female teachers in No.1 Middle School. At that time, I liked writing prose poems and reading ancient poems and Tang and Song poems. This is a kind of madness when I was young.
