Significance and interpretation of worthless ancient poems in gardens

Ye Shaoweng (Southern Song Dynasty)

Should pity the teeth and imprint the moss,

The small buttonwood leaves won't open for a long time.

The garden can't be closed in spring,

An almond goes out of the wall.

Note 1. It's not worth visiting the park: I didn't meet the owner when I visited the park. In ancient times, it was a private garden, which was different from later parks. It means there is no tour in the park. 2. should: should. 3. pity: cherish. 4. fangs: clogs (an ancient wooden shoe with a crossbar on the sole). The sawtooth at the bottom can prevent slipping. 5. Moss: blue moss. 6. Small buckle: pat lightly. 7. Chai Fei: A simple door made of branches.

Perhaps the owner of the yard cherishes moss and is afraid that my wooden shoes will leave footprints on it. Tap on Chai Men. No one has opened it for a long time. The spring scenery in the garden can't be caged, and branches of red apricots are sticking out of the wall.

The phrase "full garden" either describes the scenery or implies the virtue of the person being interviewed (everyone loves). He himself (an almond) knows it and will know it for a long time. In February in Jiangnan, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the sun is shining. On impulse, the poet came to the door of a small garden to see the flowers and trees in the garden. He knocked on Chai Men a few times and didn't respond; I knocked a few more times, but no one answered. Knock and knock like this, but for a long time no one came to open the door to welcome guests. What's going on here? Is the master really not here? Probably afraid that the moss on the ground in the garden would be trampled, I closed the door and thanked the guests. If so, it would be too stingy! It is disappointing that the poet is thinking and wandering outside the garden. When he was helpless and ready to leave, he looked up and suddenly saw a blooming apricot flower sticking out of the wall to greet people. The poet thought happily, ah! The spring scenery in the garden has overflowed the walls. No matter how tightly your master closes the garden door, you can't close it! "Spring scenery can't be closed, and an apricot is out of the wall." From the blooming apricot flowers, the poet appreciates the vibrant spring scenery in the garden and feels the beauty of spring. Finally, he is glad that he has come. But later readers were not satisfied with this, but endowed these two poems with the philosophy of life according to their own wishes: new things will definitely break through many difficulties, stand out and flourish. These two poems have been reborn and circulated endlessly. It doesn't matter whether the play meets the poet's wishes. Because poetry appreciation is also an artistic creation, readers might as well rely on their own life experience and artistic interest to expand the artistic conception of poetry and enrich its meaning, or use concrete symbols to describe poetry. For this phenomenon, poetic theorists say: "the author is not inevitable, why should the reader be otherwise?" "The reader's understanding is sometimes better than the author's.

Ye Shaoweng is patiently closing the door, but he can't open it for a long time. Suddenly he found a branch of an apricot tree, full of surprises, excited by the beauty of spring, and the tranquility in front of him, focusing on closing the door, constituted a kind of tension, or contrast. Second, this kind of beauty is not only the beauty of the scenery in the external world, but also the sudden and self-discovery in the heart. In Lu You's poems, an apricot is set off against the background of Vitamin, which is very expressive, especially the word "Gai", which arouses imagination, as if the willow has a will, but no matter how dense the willow is, it can't cover up "an apricot". Ye Shaoweng also took advantage of Lu You's "One Branch" to change the word "Gai" to "He" from Xiaohong. This word "pro" is very particular. First, it is a matter of course, inheriting Chai Men, and it cannot be deducted for a long time; Then, Lenovo's excessive natural fluency and inspired transcendental imagination. Chai Fei can only be "close" to people, and the "close" in the poem implies not people, but an invisible "spring scenery". This is a leap of imagination and a semantic pun. Corresponding to this is the following word "Chu", which is the same as Lu You's word "Chu". However, because it accepted the word "Guan" and the same word "Chu", it had a stronger sense of impact and brought momentum to Jing Hongxing. In fact, this is not to describe or simply appreciate the scenery, but to express the poet's sigh for the beautiful scenery of spring through a more active imagination. Spring scenery can't be blocked as in Lu You's poems, but it can't be closed and suppressed. On the one hand, Ye Shaoweng's use of "full garden" is closely related to Chai Fei's environmental characteristics, on the other hand, it is in contrast with the smallness of "one branch" and the prosperity of "full garden". Finally, in the place where Lu You visited, the spring scenery shown by the willow and red apricot was directly touched by the poet's vision, while Ye Shaoweng's "Spring scenery is full of imagination, and the poet drives the readers to imagine. For readers, the beauty of the external world directly perceived is still superficial. Only by activating the imagination of the inner world can we be more infected and enjoyed by poetry.

story

One spring, Ye Shaoweng, a great poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, was full of wine and food, and remembered the happy scene of going to a friend's garden to enjoy flowers last spring. Until now, he still has an endless aftertaste. He thought, "I just have nothing to do now, so I might as well go to my friend's garden again." Thinking of this, he walked out of the house. Walk leisurely to a friend's garden.

In the fragrance of flowers floating in the wind, Ye Shaoweng seems to be more excited with every step. Unconsciously, I stood in front of my friend's garden. He stepped forward and knocked on the door with his hand, but after a long time, no one came to open the door for him. It turned out that Ye Shaoweng's friends had already vaguely seen Ye Shaoweng coming. He thought, "No! The flowers and plants grow just right! If I let him in, the wooden shoes he wears will definitely crush the flowers and plants in my garden. " I just hid quietly. Ye Shaoweng, who stood outside the door, seemed to understand his friend's thoughts, smiled and thought, My friend is afraid that the wooden shoes I wear will trample the wild moss on the ground and the flowers and plants on both sides of the road in the garden! He really likes flowers and trees. At this time, Ye Shaoweng also felt very disappointed. Originally, with a happy mood, he wanted to see flowers in his friend's garden, but when he got to the garden gate, his friend didn't open the door for him. Really depressed!

Just as Ye Shaoweng was disappointed, he suddenly saw a crooked apricot branch sticking out of the wall not far from the door, and pink apricot flowers were blooming everywhere. Really beautiful! Especially the apricot flowers on the branches have their own postures. There is an apricot flower, the buds are all spread out, just like a bright red smiling face; There is also an apricot flower with several leaves in the middle, which is really red and green. Apricot flowers that have just sprouted are waving to us like girls in spring!

At this moment, Ye Shaoweng changed from disappointment to happiness. Although he didn't go into his friend's garden to enjoy the spring scenery, it can be seen from the crooked apricots sticking out of the wall that all the flowers planted in his friend's garden must be in bloom. Huang Chengcheng has winter jasmine flowers like strings of bells; There are seven fragrant incense with white fragrance; The trees are full of cherry blossoms. Those green willow branches are fluttering in the breeze, full of the breath of spring.

Ye Shaoweng smiled, glanced at the red almond branch that emerged from the wall, and then walked slowly to his home.

"You should pity those fangs and moss,

Small mouth firewood flies for a long time. But this spring spring, after all, can't be caged. Look, there is a pink apricot sticking out of the wall. "
