What are the images of "wind and rain" in poetry?

Unscramble the image of "wind and rain"

Rain is a common traditional lyric image in classical literature, and ancient poets are often used to singing in the rain.

Poets singing in the rain are mainly divided into two categories: happy rain and bitter rain, and there are several subcategories in these two categories.

(A) the poet's emotional mode of loving rain

The poet's emotional mode of loving rain originates from the utilitarian point of view, which is due to the important role of rain in "supporting time and supporting people" Because of this, the ancients often called the rain that moistened everything and aroused vitality "showers" and "manna". "Sweet Rain" In fact, rain is colorless and tasteless, and it doesn't matter whether it is sweet or bitter. The experience of "sweet" rain is not so much a taste experience as a psychological experience. People have repeated the anxiety and joy of asking for rain for hundreds of millions of times from the primitive world, and they have condensed into a specific psychological model-liking rain, and the "sweetness" of rain is a vivid expression of this psychology of liking rain.

The most famous poem about rain is Du Fu's "Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night": "Good rain knows the season, and spring comes. Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently. The wild path is dark, and the river is bright. Look at the red and wet place, Jinguancheng is heavy. " It tells the original image of rain in people's minds. From this poem, we can find the general characteristics of rain.

1, the time significance of timely decline

The reason why it is "like rain" is that it should fall in time and happen in time. Although rain is not all spring rain, spring rain is the best time. It is in this sense that the proverb "Spring rain is as expensive as oil" is said. "Good rain knows the season, when spring comes" is an artistic summary of this timely rain. Everything germinates in spring and needs rain and dew to moisten it most. A night of spring rain watered Shan Ye, bringing people the joy of survival and the hope of life. Timely rain has become the most anticipated object of singing. As a catalyst of life, its theme is meaningful, so we can use "good rain knows the season, when spring comes." This simple and natural poem has been condensed and summarized.

2. Moistening the silent life characteristics of things

We have noticed that in the rain-loving mode, people often recite the rain of praise, but it is a gentle breeze and drizzle, which silently blends into the clay figurine and nourishes everything. Unconsciously, it quietly and calmly blends into the earth and turns into the luster and bright color of life. Because of its gentleness and gentleness, this gentle and drizzling life characteristic coincides with the spiritual and psychological aesthetic trend of China people, which has profound cultural implications and can even be regarded as an artistic portrayal of the personality of a certain group of the Chinese nation.

3. Psychological reaction with vitality

Happy rain always brings vitality and hope. "If you look at the red and wet place, you will spend a lot of money to crown the city", which is unrealistic but gorgeous. In the familiar scenery, listening to the cheerful voice of the spring rain, the poet associated with clusters of flowers blooming after the spring rain. This poetic imagination is not only a vivid expression of the poet's current mood, but also a reflection of people's love for life and yearning for good feelings, in which life shines brightly.

With the development of history, the progress of literature, and the deepening of life feelings and experiences, the original meaning of rain, once it enters the poet's emotional range, is not the original pure natural thing, but is endowed with various meanings, becoming a richer image that blends the poet's different emotions, thus having higher aesthetic value. In a word, the rich rain gave birth to three common extended images. Namely:

First of all, it is a fresh, Ming Xiu and ethereal sound of nature, which can wash away worldly troubles and soothe the soul. Such as "Rain in a City" by Bian:

A rainy city is comforting you;

Now you frown at the sky,

Sitting alone in the house,

Or in the deserted street, running around with an umbrella.

You will always feel that the whole city is raining.

Is gently comforting you;

Otherwise, why didn't you say anything,

Whether you think about it or not.

"Where am I going? Where am I going? " Look, you're really obsessed,

Lose your mind and listen to the rain all over the city.

Here, "One City, One Rain" is endowed with a kind of spirituality by the lyric hero, which can soothe the lonely and sad "you". Yan Zhen, a contemporary poet, also wrote in Red Rain: "A raindrop dyed a flower bone red-a raindrop dyed a smiling face red-March rain: red rain-silently dyed the south of the Yangtze River." Rain has been endowed with fresh, Ming Xiu and agile quality here, which has given infinite relief to the unsatisfactory life.

Second, it is a symbol of smooth sailing and the state of life. Huang Tingjian, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said: "Three rains are confusing Liuhe dust, poetry is fond of rain, and words are lingyun." Another Qing Dynasty poet said: "In Confucian poetry books, the news of apricot blossoms and the sound of rain." Through these two, the kind of "wind and rain sound reading, sound in the ear;" Family affairs, what's going on in the world, and caring about everything, the high-spirited and free-spirited scholar feelings when this great ambition is realized are vividly on the paper.

Third, it is the spiritual sustenance of life setbacks and their accompanying melancholy and sadness.

When the sun sets and the moon rises in nature, wind, frost, rain and snow often enter the poet's poetic image, especially the image of "rain". Poets with sensitive minds often express their hearts through the image of "rain". According to statistics, the image of "rain" in Du Fu's poems reached 246 times, while the image of "sunny" was only 36 times. The image of "rain" appeared 73 times in Li Shangyin's poems, and the image of "sunny" only appeared 10 times. The image of "rain" frequently appears in Tang poetry, and it is even more numerous in Song poetry, as if there were no words without "rain". The image of "rain" is also common in Mao Zedong's classical poems.

1. Warm rain

Rain is invisible, but it has a moist texture in the poet's pen. "The rain in Tianjie is as crisp as crisp" (Han Yu>), this rain should be the best. Spring rain is gentle, affectionate and beautiful. Look at these poems:

"Good rain knows the season ... moistens things silently ..." _ _ Du Fu < < Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night >;

"Spring rain is like a pear blossom" _ _ Liu Yong & gt

"But now that I think about that night and that storm, I don't know how many flowers I folded" _ _ Meng Haoran & gt

Shuang Yan returns in the drizzle _ _ Ouyang Xiu>

Swift Qi Fei _ _ Yan Dao Ji < < Linjiang Fairy >;

2. Melancholy rain

There are many images of "rain" in ancient poems, which contain the poet's faint sadness. The lazy, depressed and immature poet looked at the endless rain, and his thoughts spread with the Iraqi people, like the sadness of light smoke. The so-called "the dream of the building is five minutes old, and the bottom of the flower is worried about the rain in March" (Yan Shu>), it is really rainy and wet. It's sadder to leave sadness. Another example is:

"The bluebird doesn't spread the news outside the cloud, and the lilacs are sad in the rain" _ _ Jing Li>

"Weicheng is light and rainy, and the guest house is green and willow-colored" _ _ Wang Wei>

"Cold rainy night in Wu, Fujian is lonely" _ Wang Changling

"Ask the return date, and it rains at night in the autumn pond" _ _ Li Shangyin

"Chilling cries, the pavilion is late, and the shower begins to rest" _ _ Liu Yong & gt

"Rain falls on the far shore, rain falls on the river" _ _ Liu Yong & gt

Let's take a look at Qin Guan's song & gt:

"The desert is lighter than a small building, and hooligans are like poor autumn.

"Free-flying flowers are as light as dreams, endless rain is as thin as sorrow, and small silver hooks are hung on the curtain."

This word describes a cold scene at dawn in late spring, revealing a touch of melancholy and confusion. Xia que used two wonderful metaphors, using abstract "dreams and worries" as metaphors of concrete "flying flowers and silk rain"; Before "Flying Flowers", you should be "comfortable", describing that the flowers in front of you suddenly leave and float down, which is very charming; The metaphor of "sorrow" is "silk rain", which makes the misty rain continuous, continuous and delicate as silk. The whole poem melts into the scene, showing the elegant and profound inner world of the characters with elegant small scenes, ethereal and graceful.

Three. Bitter rain

Sad life experiences, unfortunate experiences and bitter storms have added to the poet's mood. The image of "rain" in these poems seems to tell the poet's inner sadness.

"When I was dying, I started to wake up, and the black wind and rain hit the cold window" _ _ Yuan Zhen & gt

The image of "dying, black wind, rain and cold window" describes the tragic fate of Yuan Zhen and the lament of his friends.

"Indus raining, dripping at dusk. This time, what a sad sentence! " (Li Qingzhao & gt

)

Li Qingzhao, a poet, pinned the pain of national subjugation and the sadness of losing her husband on this "twilight rain". It really rains in Mao Mao, a little sad!

"Broken bridge outside the post, lonely, lonely at dusk, but also tottering" (Lu You; & gt)

"Sleeping at night listening to the wind and rain, iron horse glacier dream", _ _ Lu You>

Lu You's life story is really wonderful!

4. Free and easy rain

In the eyes of bold and romantic poets, "rain" is an image to sharpen the poet's will. They face the ups and downs of life calmly and endure them with full enthusiasm and tenacious fighting spirit. This image of "rain" is in sharp contrast with the heroic and free-spirited image of the poet. For example, even if Su Shi was relegated and caught in the rain while traveling, the poet remained indifferent.

"Don't listen to the sound of leaves knocking in the forest. Why not sing and walk slowly? Bamboo poles and sandals are lighter than horses. Who's scared? Misty rain lasts for a lifetime.

The cold spring breeze woke me up. It was a little cold, but the mountains tended to meet me. Looking back at the bleak land, rain or shine. “(< & lt & gt)

What a free and easy attitude towards life, not happy with things, not sad for yourself, and dispelling setbacks and hardships with an open personality.

"The rain falls on the secluded swallow, the white waves are overwhelming, and the fishing boat is outside Qinhuangdao, but Wang Yang is not seen" (Mao Zedong & gt)

This thrilling scene, the courage of an extraordinary leader to despise difficulties, is shocking!

Some of the "rain" images in the above-mentioned ancient poems are only fragments, and their rich contents are not detailed in this paper. Image is a poetic image produced by injecting objective images into the poet's subjective feelings. Therefore, different experiences, different occasions and environments, and different atmospheres have aroused different "rain" smells. Jie Jiang, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, has a saying < < Yu Meiren. Listening to the rain >> From it, we can see some laws of the change of "image".

"Young people listen to the rain song upstairs, and the red candle is faint.

In the prime of life, the boat is listening to the rain, the river is wide and the clouds are low, and the broken geese are called the west wind.

"Now that the rain monk has come down, the stars are already on his temples. Sorrow and sorrow are always related to love, and it will last until dawn before the next step. "

A short sentence sums up a person's life. The first three sentences, one sentence and one picture, take listening to the rain as a clue to truly describe the three stages of a person's life: adolescence, playing, and listening to songs on the balcony; In the prime of life, wandering around the world, listening to the wind and rain of the boat; In his later years, living under the fence and listening to the rain from the monk's house, the three paintings are connected and reflect each other, which artistically summarizes the author's life track.

It can be seen that the image of "rain" is colorful. It should be analyzed in combination with the specific background.
