I. Original text

Wangdongting

Year: Tang Author: Liu Yuxi

The lake and the moon set each other off, and there is no wind mirror on the pool surface.

Look at the Dongting landscape. There is a green snail in the silver plate.

Second, translation:

In autumn, the moon is bright and the lake is clear. The lake is calm and calm, just like a bronze mirror with an iron bottom.

Looking at the beautiful Dongting Lake and the mountains. Really imaginative. The green Junshan is really like a green snail in a delicate silver plate.

Third, appreciate:

Dongting Lake is crystal clear under the bright moon in autumn. It is an ethereal, ethereal, quiet and harmonious realm, just like Qiongtian met. This is the poetry contained in the sentence "the lake and the moon are in harmony". The word "harmony" has been refined, showing a harmonious picture of water and sky, jade and dust-free, and it seems to convey to readers the rhythm of a water town night-the rhythm of moonlight and lake water. Next, the lake is described as calm and misty, like an unpolished bronze mirror. The word "the mirror is not polished" vividly and aptly shows the peaceful and gentle scene of a thousand miles of caves, and there is a hazy beauty in the moonlight. "There is no wind on the surface of the pool, and the mirror is not polished" complements the poem "moonlight on the lake" with vivid metaphors. Because only "there is no wind on the pool surface", the water waves are calm, and the lake and the moon can be coordinated. Otherwise, the lake is noisy and the waves are empty, and the lake light and autumn moon are not interesting, so there will be no "two-phase harmony".

The poet's sight focused on Junshan from the vast Pinghu. In Yin Hui under the bright moon, Dongting Mountain is greener, Dongting water is clearer and the mountains and rivers are integrated. It looks like a small green snail in a carved silver plate, which is very attractive. Three or four poems are rich in imagination, appropriate in metaphor and elegant in style. Silver plates and green snails complement each other. The autumn moon Dongting landscape described by the poet has become a fine treasure of arts and crafts, giving people great artistic enjoyment. "Green snail in a silver plate" is really an incredible punch line. But its superiority is not only manifested in the cleverness of the police, but also in its magnanimity and its lofty and wonderful feelings. In the poet's eyes, a thousand miles of Dongting is just a mirror and a cup and plate on the case. It is very rare to lift weights lightly, the pool is natural and unpretentious. It is a reflection of the author's personality, sentiment and aesthetic taste to express the relationship between man and nature so cordially and to describe the lakes and mountains so broadly and clearly. It is difficult to write without thinking about octupole and being satisfied with the spirit of mustard seed, and without the embrace of nirvana. It is rare to see the poet's romantic whimsy in a landscape poem.

Liu Yuxi (772-842), a native of Luoyang, Henan, called himself "Luoyang" and Zhongshan. The first one is Zhongshan, Wang Jing and Liu Sheng. A writer and philosopher in the Tang Dynasty, he was called a "poet". Liu Yuxi was a scholar in the ninth year of Zhenyuan (793). At the beginning, he was a clerk in Du You's shogunate and an envoy in Huainan, and was highly valued by Du You. Later, he entered the DPRK from Du You, supervising the empire. At the end of Zhenyuan, he made friends with Liu Zongyuan, Han Ye and formed a political group headed by Wang. Later, he successively served as Sima Langzhou, Secretariat of Lianzhou, Secretariat of Kuizhou, Secretariat of Hezhou, Doctor of Host and Guest, Minister of Rites, and Secretariat of Suzhou. In Huichang, we will check the history of the Ministry of Justice. He died at the age of 70 and donated senior minister Liu Yuxi's excellent poems with a wide range of themes. He is called "Liu Liu" with Liu Zongyuan, "Three Masters" with Wei and Bai Juyi, and "Bai Liu" with Bai Juyi. His representative works include Humble Room Inscription, Zhi Zhu Ci, Yang Liuzhi Ci and Wuyi Lane. Three philosophical works, The Theory of Heaven, discuss the materiality of heaven and analyze the origin of the theory of destiny, which is materialistic. There are works of Liu Mengde and Liu Binke.
