Preface to Wang Teng Pavilion

Don

Zhang Yu old county, Hongdu new home. The stars are divided into wings, and the ground is connected with Lu Heng. Three rivers and five lakes in Jin, controlling barbarians and attracting Ouyue. Wuhua Tianbao, the dragon lamp shoots the bull fighting market; Outstanding people, Xu Ru got off Chen Fan's couch. Xing Chi Cai Jun Xiongzhou fog column. At the turn of summer, the host and guest are all in the southeast. The commander-in-chief Gong Yanyi is elegant, and the halberd is in the distance; Fan Yi of Yuwen Xinzhou is temporarily stationed. Ten days holiday, win friends like a cloud; Welcome to the wedding. Teng Jiao, a poet of Meng; Purple electric paste is General Wang's armory. Home is slaughter, Tao is name; What does a boy know? Bowing is always the winner.

When Wei is in September, the sequence belongs to Sanqiu. The water is cold and the pool is clear, and the smoke is purple. Yan Yan likes to walk on the road and watch the scenery to worship Afghanistan. Close to Emperor Cheung Chau, you will see the old pavilion where heaven and man are integrated. Mountains and clouds are heavy; Feige is full of blood, and there is no land under it. Heting ancient bamboo, the haunt of poor islands; Gui Dian Lan Gong is the posture of hills.

Embroidered and carved, Yamahara is full of vision, and Kawasawa is bold and unrestrained. Yan Lu, the hometown of Zhong Mingding's delicious food; Gechuan maze, bluebird Huanglong. Clouds selling rain Ji, colorful. Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn waters and sky are the same color. Fishing boats sing late, the coastal sound is poor, the array is cold, and the sound breaks Hengyang Pu.

The distance is smooth and it is easy to fly. Cool breeze blowing gently, singing white clouds. There are bamboos in Suiyuan, which makes Peng Ze angry. Shui Ye Zhu Hua, a pen shining in Linchuan. Four beautiful things, two are difficult to combine. Poor in the sky, leisure is very entertaining. The sky is vast and the universe is infinite; Joy begets sorrow and knowledge is empty. Looking at Chang 'an in the sun, the martial arts will meet in the clouds. The terrain is deep in the South Pole, high in Tianzhu and far from Beichen. It is difficult to climb mountains and mountains, and whoever loses his way is sad; Meet by chance, full of foreign guests. When I miss the emperor, what year was I in the mysterious room?

Ha ha! Bad luck, bad luck. Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal. Qu Jiayi is in Changsha, not without a master; Is there no time to escape from Hongliang to Haiqu? A gentleman plays it by ear and knows the world. When you are old and strong, would you rather be moved? Poverty is strong, not falling into the sky. I feel that Chanquan is very cool, but I am still very happy after doing it. Although Beihai is on credit, it can be accepted; The cold corner has gone, and the mulberry is not late. Meng has noble taste and is free to serve the country; Ruan Ji is crazy, how can he cry to the end of the road!

Bob, who is three feet short, is a scholar. There is no way to ask for it, and the final army will be weak; With a pen and a bosom, Mu Zong is Changfeng. Give up hair for a hundred years, and Wan Li will faint in the morning. It is not a treasure tree in Xie Jia, but a neighbor of Montessori. He is becoming more and more palace, and he is accompanying carp; Today, I hold my hand and hope to hold the Longmen. Yang Yi doesn't pick up, caresses Lingyun and cherishes himself; What's shameful about playing with running water at the clock meeting?

Ho ho! There are not many resorts, so it is difficult to have a grand feast; Lanting is gone, Zize Xu Qiu. Farewell words, thanks to Wei Wei; Climbing high to make a contribution is to hope the public. Dare to exhaust feelings, be respectful and short-quoted; All the words were given, and all four rhymes were done. Please sprinkle Pan Jiang, pour the clouds:

Wang Teng Linjiang Pearl, Ming Luan continues to sing and dance.

The painted building faces Nanpu Cloud, and the bead curtain rolls up the rain in the western hills at dusk.

The shadow of the idle cloud pool is long, and things change for a few years.

Where is the emperor in the cabinet today? Outside the threshold, the Yangtze River flows by itself.

This is Zhang Yu County in the Han Dynasty, and now it is the governor's office of Hongzhou. The position in the sky belongs to the dividing line between wings and stars, and the position on the ground connects Hengshan and Lushan. Take Sanjiang as the skirt and Five Lakes as the belt, control Chu land and connect Fujian and Vietnam. The beauty of the products here is like a treasure from heaven, and its glory is a place to fight with cows. The land here is full of beautiful scenery, and Fan Chen built some couches for Xu Ru. Hongzhou buildings are arranged like clouds, and talents are driven away like meteors. Located at the junction of the Central Plains and Nanyi, the host and guest of the pool include the best people in the southeast. Commander-in-chief Yan Guogong enjoys a high reputation. He came to Hongzhou from afar and worked as a shepherd in Yuwen House. He is a model of virtue and stopped here on his way to his post. On the holidays of 10 and 10, many good friends came to meet guests from afar, and your friends were packed. Articles written by Meng, the originator of literary words, such as Cai Feng, the dragon dance; In General Wang's armory, there are swords such as Zidian and Dengjian. Because my father is going to be a county magistrate, I passed this famous place on my way to visit relatives. Young and ignorant, I was lucky enough to attend this grand banquet in person.

In late autumn and September, the accumulated water disappeared after the rain, the cold pool water was clear, the sky was condensed with faint clouds, and the mountains in the twilight were purple. Driving a carriage on a high mountain road, visiting the scenery in the mountain. Come to the emperor Changzhou and find the palace where the immortals live. The mountains overlap here, and the green peaks soar into the sky. A pavilion in the air, a Hong Ting Road is like flying in the sky, and the ground can't be seen from the pavilion. The waterside flats where cranes and wild ducks live and the small continents in the water make the island zigzag. Gorgeous and magnificent palaces are built on rolling hills.

Pushing open the beautifully carved pavilion door, overlooking the roof decorated with colorful decorations, you can have a panoramic view of the mountains and plains, and the river is surprisingly circuitous. There are alleys and houses everywhere, and many rich people are eating and drinking. Ge boats are full of ferries, full of big boats carved with green finches and yellow dragons. Clouds stop raining, the sun is shining and the sky is clear; The rosy clouds in the sunset fly with the lonely wild ducks, and the river in autumn is connected with the vast sky. At night, fishermen sing on fishing boats, and the songs resound through the lake in Peng Li; In late autumn, the geese felt chilly and screamed again and again, and the whine continued to the waterfront of Hengyang.

Looking at the distance, my heart suddenly felt comfortable, and my transcendental interest immediately rose. The flute brings a gentle breeze, and the soft song brings floating white clouds. Today's feast is like the elegant collection of Liangyuan in those days. Everyone drinks more than Tao Yuanming. The bachelor of arts who attended the banquet, like Cao Zhi, wrote such a beautiful poem as Zhu Huayong's Rushing into the Green Pool, and his romantic literary talent reflected Xie Lingyun's poetic style. Music and diet, articles and words are all ready, and its beautiful and pleasant moments are also supplemented. Look at the sky and enjoy the holiday. The sky is vast, which makes people feel that the universe is boundless. When joy passed away and sadness struck, I realized that everything has a fixed fate in its ups and downs. From a distance, Chang 'an sank into the sunset, and from a distance, Wu Jun was hidden in the clouds. The geographical location is extremely remote, the South China Sea is particularly deep, Tianzhu is towering on Kunlun Mountain, and the north pole of the night sky is far away. This mountain is difficult to cross. Who sympathizes with me, a frustrated person? Occasionally meet, all guests from other places. I miss the door of the palace, but I was not called. When can I serve the king in the propaganda room like Jia Yi?

Well, everyone's timing is different, and the fate of life is often not smooth. Feng Tang is prone to aging, and Li Guang has contributed a lot, but he is rarely appointed. Jia Yi was demoted to Changsha not because there was no wise monarch, nor did Hongliang escape to Qilu seaside in an era of political prosperity. Only because a gentleman is content with poverty can a knowledgeable person know his own destiny. Although I am old and still strong, how can I change my mood when I am old? I am more determined when I encounter poverty, and I will never give up my ambition under any circumstances. Even if you drink the water from the greedy spring, your mood is still fresh and clean; Even if you are in a boring state, your mind is still cheerful and happy. Although the North Sea is far away, strong winds can still reach it. Although the morning light has passed, it is not too late to cherish the evening. Meng Changjun's heart is noble and pure, but his enthusiasm for serving the country is futile. Ruan Ji is unrestrained, so how can we learn from his crying behavior when he is at the end of the road?

I am a modest scholar. Although he is the same age as the final army, he has no chance to serve his country. Like Ban Chao, he has the passion to join the army and the ambition to "ride the wind and waves". Now I have abandoned my lifelong fame, and Wan Li is not far away to serve my father day and night. Although he is not a talent like Xie Xuan, he also associates with many virtuous people. In a few days, I will go to my father's side, and I must accept his teaching like Kong Li; Today, I can see Gong Yan being received. I am as happy as I am on the Longmen. If you don't meet the person introduced by Yang Deyi, you will only shoot your own article and feel sorry for yourself. Now that you've met Zhong Ziqi, what's the shame of playing "Running Water"?

Oh! Places of interest can't last forever, and it's hard to meet again. The grand occasion of Lanting's gathering momentum is over, and Shi Chong's Jize is in ruins. Thank you for the gift of this banquet. I made this preface when I left. As for the summit, I can only count on the gentlemen present. I just took the liberty of making a brief introduction with my humble mind. I also wrote a poem with four rhymes. Please show your literary talent like Pan Yue and Lu Ji!

The towering Wang Teng Pavilion was built on the banks of the Zhu Jiang River, and the scene of Wang Teng's banquet was no longer presented.

In the morning, Nanpu light clouds swept over the painting floor of Wang Teng Pavilion, and in the evening, the misty rain in the western hills rolled up the bead curtain of Wang Teng Pavilion.

The leisurely clouds are reflected by the pool, and the changing scenery counts the spring and autumn under the starry sky.

Where is Di Zi who built the Wang Teng Pavilion? Only the foreign minister, the river, is rolling eastward.

Introduction of works

Preface to Wang Tengting is a parallel essay by Wang Bo, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. From the terrain, talents and banquets in Hongzhou, the article describes the grandeur, broad vision, tight autumn and bright scenery of Wang Teng Pavilion. Then, from banquet entertainment to life experience, express the feelings of life experience; Then the writer's experience and confession should be encouraged by himself, and finally end with poetry and self-deprecating words. The full text reveals the author's ambition and resentment. Except for a few function words, the whole article is double. Syntax consists of four sentences and six sentences, arranged neatly; Almost a whole story, more natural and appropriate, elegant and skilled.

works appreciation

The preface to Wang Teng-ting is meticulous, closely related to the theme and eclectic. The full text can be divided into four parts.

The first natural section is the first part, describing the magnificent terrain, splendid things, outstanding people, virtuous masters and weddings of Hongfu. "Old County of Zhang Yu, Hongdu New Residence" points out the location of Wang Tengting, and then describes in detail the division of its orientation between the wing and the stars. Geographically, it connects Hengshan Mountain in Hunan and Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi, swinging up and down, and writes the topography of Nanchang: Three Rivers in front, Five Lakes as the belt, and wuyue with Chu as the guide. This is the Preface to Wang Teng Pavilion, but it avoids banquets and attics at the beginning, which is unconventional and magnificent. From the phrase "treasure of things" to the phrase "general Wang's arsenal", Nanchang is rich in products and talented people, and praised the host and guest of the banquet for "doing their best in the southeast", "getting married" and "winning friends like a cloud" Finally, briefly describe the reason why I came here to attend the party.

The second and third paragraphs are the second part. From near to far, from magnificent pavilions to beautiful mountains and rivers, the author painted the autumn scenery of Wang Teng Pavilion with rich brushstrokes, and outlined a colorful, patchwork and natural picture of Sanqiu in Wang Teng Pavilion. "The water is cold and the pool is clear, and the smoke is purple." These two sentences show the change of light and shadow color in stillness, and write the vibrant lakes and mountains. After the accumulated water is drained, the cold pool is clear. In the evening, the faint clouds condensed with the dense twilight, and a touch of purple light appeared between the water and the sky. Next is virtual writing. The author took the reader driving a carriage on a high mountain road, toured autumn scenery in the mountains, came to Changzhou where Di Zi once lived, and found the palace where the immortal once rested. Then the Wang Teng Pavilion starts from many places of interest-"The terraces are green and the clouds are heavy; Flying pavilions are flowing, and there is no land under them. " The mountains overlap and the peaks soar into the sky; The eaves of the sky are flowing, as if straight into the earth. In just sixteen words, the author described the towering momentum of the pavilion grandly and the uniqueness of the pavilion vividly. This sentence makes the whole pavilion look natural by changing the pitch angle. "Crane Pavilion Zhu Fu, the lingering of the poor island; Gui Dian Lan Gong, the body of mountains and mountains. " These two sentences describe the animals and plants around the Wang Teng Pavilion. White cranes and wild ducks swim in Liulian Island, and the palace with sweet-scented osmanthus is hidden in the rolling mountains, making Wang Tengge like a moon star and magnificent. The author wrote about boarding Wang Tengting and overlooking the scenery: opening the gate of Xiuge, overlooking the roof of Diaolianghuadong, overlooking the vast mountains and plains, and the nearby rivers, lakes and seas are breathtaking. Buildings and alleys are full of rich people; Ge boats are full of ferries, all beautifully decorated sparrow boats and dragon boats. Beautiful mountains and rivers, bustling streets, and numerous ships have inherited the first paragraph of "rich products, outstanding people and outstanding people", and together with the following "fishing boats sing late" and "freezing cold", they form a picture of scene blending and dynamic and static combination. In this passage, the most famous sentence is "Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn waters and sky are the same color". This sentence is a visual feast. The main body of the whole picture is red sunset and blue-green water light, with white wild herons dotted in it. The beauty of color, dynamic beauty, virtual beauty and three-dimensional beauty of space bring readers flawless imagination.

The fourth and fifth natural paragraphs are the third part, which describes that everyone boarded Yixing at the banquet, then rejoiced and grieved, recalled the past, and led to their understanding of life. Ups and downs, the author wrote from "One Star Flying Fast" to "Stars Entering the North". The first two sentences of the fourth paragraph "I got rid of embarrassment and I flew happily." Cool breeze blows gently, fine songs are concise, and white clouds are restrained. "The crowing at the banquet was a scene of joy. The following sentence "the sky is vast and the universe is infinite;" I am full of sorrow, and I know a few things. "From the infinite universe, there are ups and downs: looking back at Chang 'an, it is still in the sunset, and Wu Hui is like a sea of clouds. The earth is boundless, the South China Sea is unfathomable, the pillars of the sky are unattainable, and the stars of the Big Dipper are far away: the mountains are difficult to cross. Who will mourn for the frustrated? Meet by chance, we are all wanderers in a foreign land. Full of ambition, when can I see the palace? When was the emperor summoned? The author calls himself a "lost man" and laments his fate. Although the author was full of blood and brilliant, he was not allowed by the society at that time because of his arrogance. Ambition is hard to be rewarded, so the author here thinks that life is limited and short from the infinity of the universe, which shows his feeling that time passes but it is difficult to succeed. In the fifth paragraph, the author compares himself with Jia Yi, Hong Liang, Feng Tang and Li Guang with allusions and describes his current predicament. However, the author did not stay in sadness for too long, but made a better annotation for this passage with his optimistic spirit. The author says that he is still a talented person and knows how to live. "When you are old and strong, you would rather use your head." If you are poor, you will change your mind, and you will never lose your ambition. "In adversity, I am still open-minded and determined to serve my country. This passage uses many allusions, but it is reasonable and appropriate, and there is no sense of piling up. Wang Bo wrote about his ambivalence of incompetence and deep trouble, but he solved it with optimism. This noble feeling has aroused the desire of many literati for thousands of years.

The sixth and seventh paragraphs are the fourth part, which briefly describe my mental journey and ambition, express my gratitude to the host and guests for their kindness, and express my honor to attend the banquet and make a farewell preface. This paragraph echoes the beginning and sticks to the theme again.

Preface to Wang Teng Pavilion is a natural fusion of scenery and lyricism. This paper focuses on the spectacular scene of Wang Teng Pavilion. Write about the elegant and grand momentum of the banquet and express your feelings. Love comes from scenery, and scenery is written for the mutual penetration of lyricism, scenery and emotion. Naturally, like running water, it flows freely and naturally.
