He said that the master had gone to the mountains to collect medicine.

Appreciate:

Jia Dao is a poet who is famous for his "thoughtful". It is generally believed that he only works hard on the use of words. In fact, his "scrutiny" is not only focused on hammering words and sentences, but also painstaking in article design. This poem is an example.

This poem is characterized by questions and answers. "When I ask your students, under a pine tree" must be asked, but this question is omitted here. From the four words the boy answered, it can be imagined that Panasonic is asking "where did the teacher go?" Then, the question "Where are the herbs?" It was omitted, and the boy "but to which corner of the mountain" answered the question and included it. The last sentence, "How can I tell through such a cloudy day?" It is the boy who answers the other's questions about whether herbs are collected in front of the mountain, behind the mountain, at the top of the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. Obviously, it takes at least six sentences to express the repeated questions and answers. Jia Dao adopted the method of answering comprehensive questions, simplifying the complex. This kind of "scrutiny" is not between the lines.

However, the success of this poem lies not only in simplicity; Simple words are not enough to explain its beauty. Shi Gui is good at lyricism. The lyrical feature of this poem is to see the depth in the plain. Visiting friends will naturally lead to disappointment. But in this poem, I don't stop asking questions, and there are two questions and three questions behind. Its handwriting is complicated, while its pen is simple. It is beneficial to see its deep affection and eagerness to write complex feelings with a simple pen. Moreover, these questions and answers are in-depth step by step, and emotional expressions have ups and downs. When I asked your students under a pine tree, I felt relaxed and full of hope: "My teacher," he replied, "went to collect medicine", "answered what I didn't expect, but fell down and was disappointed:" But there was a glimmer of hope in the disappointment "; When the last answer is "how do I know through these clouds?" I am very frustrated and helpless.

However, the lyricism of poetry should rely on artistic image and pay attention to color tone. On the surface, this poem seems colorless and unpretentious, and it is light makeup rather than heavy makeup. In fact, its shape is natural, its color is bright and its shade is suitable. The image and color of pine trees, long white clouds, blue and white, pine and cypress and clouds, are in line with the identity of a hermit in the depths of Yunshan. Moreover, the hermit did not see his paintings first, and there was infinite vitality in the green stand; Then I saw large tracts of white clouds, which were deep, hazy and unpredictable, making people think that Qiushui Iraqis were nowhere to be found. From the gradual change of modeling and the order of tone, it also reflects the author's emotional and material transmission.

The hermit in the poem collects medicine for a living and helps the living. He is a real hermit. So Jia Dao has admiration for him. In the poem, the white clouds show their nobleness, the pine trees praise their character, and the landscape writing also contains the meaning of comparison. Only in this way, admiration and the satisfaction of failure highlight their disappointed feelings.
