Where does gray come from?

1. "Jian Cang Cang" is from The Book of Songs Qin Feng, and the full text is as follows:

The Millennium is frost. The so-called Iraqis are on the water side.

Tracing back and forth from it, the road is blocked and long. Swim back from it, in the middle of the water

After a long time, the Millennium has not changed. The so-called Iraqis are in the water.

Tracing back and forth from it, the road is blocked and broken. Swim back from there and swim in the water.

Jia Cai, the Millennium is not over. The so-called Iraqis are in the water.

Go back and follow, the road is blocked and turn right. Swim back from there and swim in the water.

2. Translation:

The reeds by the river are green, and the dew in autumn is frosted. Where is the right person? Just across the river.

He who does not advance loses ground. Follow the running water to find her, as if in the middle of the water.

The reeds by the river are dense, and the dew in the morning is still wet. Where is the right person? Just beyond the river bank.

He who does not advance loses ground. Follow the running water to find her, as if you were on a beach.

The reeds by the river are thick and dense, and the dew in the morning has not been completely collected. Where is the right person? It's just beyond the water.

It's hard to find her against the running water. Follow the running water to find her as if she were in the water.

3. Appreciate:

If the "Iraqi people" in the poem is identified as lovers, then this poem shows the melancholy mood of the lyric protagonist's persistent pursuit of good love. Spirit is precious and feelings are sincere, but the result is slim and the situation is sad.

However, the most valuable thing in this poem is not the pursuit and loss of the lyric hero, but the artistic conception of "being on the water side" created by him, which is of universal significance. Good poetry can create artistic conception. Artistic conception is a kind of pattern and structure, which has the performance of containing all heterogeneous things with similar patterns and similar structures. The structure of On the Water is: chasing troops-rivers-Iraqis. Because the "Iraqi people" in the poem has no specific reference, the meaning of the river lies in the barrier, and all the pursuits that are difficult to achieve because of being blocked in the world can be isomorphic and resonate here.

From this point of view, we might as well understand the poem of Jian Jian as a symbol, and regard On the Water as an artistic paradigm to express all the difficulties in social life. The "Iraqis" here can be talents, friends, lovers, achievements, ideals, prospects, and even blessed land, holy land and fairyland; The "river" here can be high mountains and deep valleys, patriarchal clan system and ethics, or any other obstacles that may be encountered in real life. As long as there are pursuits, obstacles and disappointments, that is the world it reproduces and expresses. In this way, the ancients interpreted it as persuading people to follow etiquette, recruiting talents and attracting wisdom, and cherishing talents. Today, people regard it as a love poem, and some even regard it as a ritual of ancestor worship by the ancient water god. I'm afraid there is some truth. It seems inappropriate to insist on one and reject the other, because they are all contained in the symbolic meaning of "on the water side"

Naturally, when we are in a situation similar to "on the water side", we should appreciate its eager pursuit, not its pessimism and disappointment. This poem creates a hazy, fresh and mysterious artistic conception with images such as water, reed, frost and dew. The morning mist covers everything, and the crystal dew condenses into frost. A shy girl walked slowly. The image of water in the poem represents women and embodies the beauty of women. The thin fog is like a veil covered by a girl. She appeared at the water's edge, and then she appeared on the land beside the water. I can't find it, and my anxious and helpless mood itches like an ant crawling and hurts like a knife cutting. As we often say, "distance produces beauty", this kind of beauty becomes hazy, fuzzy and unclear because of distance. The identities, faces and spatial positions of the protagonist and the Iraqi people are vague, giving people a vague, looming and hazy feeling. Jianjia, Bailu, Yiren and Qiushui are becoming more and more elusive, forming a hazy and elegant watercolor painting. At the beginning of each chapter of the poem, the brushwork of seeing interest is adopted. By describing and admiring the real scene in front of me, I drew an ethereal artistic conception, which enveloped the whole article. Grasping the unique characteristics of autumn, the poet repeatedly described and rendered the empty and sad atmosphere in late autumn with heavy colors to express the poet's loss and ardent admiration. The first two sentences of each chapter of this poem are inspired by autumn scenery, which leads to the text. It not only points out the season and time, but also renders the desolate atmosphere, which sets off the melancholy mood of the characters and reaches the artistic situation of blending scenes. The three images of "Jiaxu", "Water" and "Arbitrary" complement each other and blend into one, and the things for fun and description constitute a complete artistic world. At the beginning, I wrote the scene of reeds growing by the water in autumn, which is exactly "expressing meaning with images" and has the role of "passion" Because reed, under the reflection of the sky and water, it will inevitably present a chaotic state, which shows the realm of "hazy love" in the hero's heart from one side. Wang Fuzhi's "Jiang Zhai Shi Hua" said: "Those who care about the current situation are also self-interested. Although the scene is divided into mind and matter. Scenery produces emotions, emotions produce landscapes, sadness and joy touch each other, glory and tension greet each other, hiding their homes. " The poem "Jin Jia" is a combination of the unique scenery in late autumn and the euphemistic and melancholy lovesickness of the characters, thus rendering the atmosphere of the whole poem, creating a confusing artistic conception, which is the embodiment of "both scenery and words are affectionate". In a word, the rich aesthetic feeling of Jia Jian is worthy of our attention and serious discussion from the perspective of appreciation and creation.
