Wang Wei's Landscape Poems
The white stone in the west of Beijing is cold and sparse.
There is no rain on the winding mountain road, the smoke is misty in the dense pine trees, and the water vapor is heavy, as if to flow, and then the clothes of passers-by.
Wang Wei's Translation of Ancient Poems in the Mountains
Jingxi gurgled through the white stone, the weather became cold and the leaves were scattered.
There is no rain on the winding mountain road, but the green hills are thick in color and seem to wet people's clothes.
Appreciation of Wang Wei's landscape poems
This ancient poem depicts the scenery in the mountains in early winter.
"There are white stones in the west of Beijing, and the cold leaves are sparse." The first two sentences say that the discharge of Jingxi River is decreasing day by day, and white stones are exposed on the riverbed. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the leaves on the branches are getting rarer and rarer.
The first sentence is about a stream in the mountains. Jingxi, whose real name is Changshui, also known as Lianshui, originated in the Qinling Mountains in the southwest of Lantian County, Shaanxi Province, and flowed northward to the northeast of Chang 'an to enter Lianshui. What is written here is probably the section that runs through the middle and upper reaches of the mountain. Mountain roads are often close to streams. Walking in the mountains, it is easy to notice the winding Qingxi, as if it were a companion. Cold and shallow, the mountain stream becomes a trickle, revealing white stones, which are particularly shallow and lovely. Grasping the main features of the mountain stream in cold winter, readers can not only see its clear color, winding shape, but even seem to hear its gurgling sound.
The second sentence is about fallen leaves in the mountains. The colorful frost trees shed leaves, which is the characteristic of autumn mountain. It is cold in winter and leaves become scarce; This used to be a rather unremarkable sight. But for Wang Wei, a poet and painter who is particularly sensitive to the color of nature, on a lush mountain background (as can be seen from the following two sentences), a few fallen leaves are dotted with bits and pieces, which is sometimes more conspicuous. They may arouse the poet's reverie about the gorgeous autumn scenery that has just passed away. Therefore, the "thinning leaves" here does not give people the feeling of bleak and withered, but causes respect and nostalgia for beautiful things.
"It didn't rain on the mountain road and the clothes were wet." Yuan: Tong "Yuan", originally, originally. The last two sentences mean that it doesn't rain on the Panshan Highway, but the dense pine and cypress are foggy and wet, and it seems that it will drip down, and the clothes of pedestrians are wet.
If the first two sentences describe one or two parts of the mountain scenery, then the last two sentences show the whole picture of the mountain. Although it is cold in winter, the whole Qinling Mountain is still green and luxuriant, and the mountain road runs through the boundless thick green. Castle peak color itself is ethereal and bright, unlike tangible things, so it is called "empty green". "Kongcui" is naturally not wet, but it is so thick that it can almost overflow the jade water, so thick that almost the whole air is full of jade molecules. Walking in the empty green is like being shrouded in a green fog, and the whole body and mind are soaked and moistened by it, but it feels a bit like the coolness of drizzle and wet clothes. Therefore, although there is no rain on the mountain road, it will naturally feel "empty green", which is an unreal feeling and a spiritual pleasure produced by the complex effects of vision, touch and feeling. The contradiction between the word "empty" and the word "wet" is unified in this spiritual pleasure.
Zhang Xu's "Stay in the Mountain" said: "Mysteriously, even if there is no rain, you will get clothes in the depths of the clouds." Touching clothes is a true writing, which shows another beautiful realm where clouds lock the mountains; The "wet clothes" in Wang Wei's Shan Jutu is an illusion and an illusion, which expresses the poetry of dark green mountains. I also wrote about the scenery in the mountains and clothes, but the effect is the same, and each has its own wonderful. True art never repeats itself.
