Image —— A Key to Interpreting Ancient Poetry

Poets' lyricism is often not the direct expression of feelings, nor the direct indoctrination of ideas, but the expression of one thing at a time. When writing about scenery, they express their feelings with scenery, and when singing about things, they express their feelings. The "scenery" and "things" written here are objective "images"; The "emotion" expressed by borrowing scenery and the "ambition" expressed by chanting things are both subjective "intentions"; The perfect combination of "image" and "meaning" is "image", which is not only a portrayal of real life, but also the crystallization of the poet's aesthetic creation and the carrier of emotional thoughts. Therefore, only on the basis of grasping the image can we understand the content, theme, artistic conception and emotion of the poem. Therefore, the taste of ancient poetry needs to start with appreciating images.

Judging from the college entrance examination questions in recent years, the examination of ancient poetry images mainly includes three situations:

First, search related pictures according to certain criteria.

Read the following Song poems and then answer this question. (6 points)

Xiting

Lin Jingxi

There are thoughts in clear autumn, and the sunset glow is still pavilion.

At the beginning of the month, the trees are tall and white, and the breeze is half awake.

Walking alone in the fallen leaves, sitting around and counting fireflies.

Where is the fishing song? Lonely lights are far apart.

(1) What time-varying images did the poet use to express his feelings? (2 points)

It is the key to answer such questions, look at the retrieval criteria clearly, and filter properly (without missing or looking for more).

For example, the images written by Xiting include sunset, Xiting, big trees, white at the beginning of the month, breeze, fallen leaves, fireflies, fishing songs and solitary lights. The title requires "images reflecting time changes". According to this standard, only "sunset" and "white at the beginning of the month" meet the requirements; Then the poet's "emotion" was clarified, and the answer was "to express the time change from dusk to the beginning of the month and the author's lonely feelings with two images of" sunset "and" white at the beginning of the month ".

Second, appreciate the formal beauty of images.

For example, read the following Song Ci and complete the question 14- 16. (8 points)

Ruan Langgui in early summer

Su Shi

Green locust, high willow, swallows, new cicadas, the wind first enters the string. The blue screen window sank into the water and the smoke sank, and the sound of chess scared me to sleep during the day. After a light rain, Xiao He turned over. Liu Hua is in full bloom. Jade basin hand tanchun, Zhu Qiong broken and round.

16. Write an appreciation article from the perspective of situational relationship based on the underlined sentences in the work. (4 points)

When appreciating images, we should use "images" to taste "meaning", that is, we should taste the thoughts, feelings and artistic interests contained in the specific images described by the poet through their shapes, sounds and colors. There are three specific ways: to taste "meaning" with "shape" ("shape" is the modal feature of an object and is often expressed as a modifier before an image); Taste "meaning" with "color" ("color" refers to the color characteristics of objects, including cold and warm tones); Taste "meaning" with "sound" ("sound" refers to the phonological characteristics of objects, including musical sounds and sad sounds).

As far as the above problems are concerned, the last sentence of Ruan Langgui's Early Summer is the most difficult: it is difficult to compare the image of "water drop" with pearls and jade, and the understanding of "broken and round" is another difficulty (the last two sentences can be translated as "the heroine is playing with water by the pool with a beautiful porcelain basin, and the water splashed on the lotus leaf, which is as round and bright as pearls"). The scene is like this, and the emotional needs are related to the next movie. We can feel the heroine's relaxed and happy mood from the actions and scenes such as "Rain clears up", "Flowers burn" and "Spring breaks out". Therefore, the focus of the answer is: the detailed description of the splash (on the lotus leaf), the round and glittering water droplets (2 points), which truly shows the hero's cheerful mood (2 points).

Thirdly, the implication beauty of aesthetic images.

Read the following song and complete questions 8-9.

Xiao Zhai is that thing.

Liu Yi inspection (1)

Sad piano straight, love chess because of love.

If you don't use it, how can you remember the court merchants?

The older you get, the clumsier you get.

Although these two things go hand in hand, there is no difference between ups and downs.

Note ① Liu Yi: Song Huizong Xuanhe was a scholar for three years (1 12 1). He used to be the censor. According to records, he was dismissed for "taking care of Qin Gui". 2 games: refers to the chessboard.

9. Why did the author write two things? What kind of feelings does he want to express when playing chess? (6 points)

The image itself has certain cultural connotations (for example, mountains and seas are related to lofty sentiments and ambitions, pine and bamboo symbolize noble sentiments and pursuits, while cold wind and rain are generally related to loneliness and melancholy, willow pavilions express feelings of parting, and the breeze and bright moon express leisure). Classical poetry often chooses typical images with symbolic significance to create touching artistic charm.

"Love chess" in Xiaozhai is a matter is the way to love chess. I didn't expect to use chess to compete for victory or defeat. "It can be remembered that Gong Shang inherited the sentence of' pity piano'." "Compassion Qin" loves straight strings. How to use it to remember the five horns on Gong? The second couplet highlights the meaning of the first couplet, which is "to be straight" and "because of the situation". So the author wrote Qin and Qi to express his will. He wrote down his "ambition" with the "quality" of calligraphy and painting: straight-straight, square-angle. It is precisely because our own products remain unchanged that in the end, "the world is getting more and more sparse" and "everything is the way", leaving only one study, which has nothing to do with the rise and fall of the country. These all express the author's feelings about his personal experience and his cynicism about the world.
