Xiaoshitangji
? Liu Zongyuan [Tang Dynasty]
120 steps west of the mountain, across the bamboo forest, smelling the sound of water, like singing, I am happy. Cut bamboo and walk along the road, and see the small pool below, the water is particularly clear. The whole stone is at the bottom, close to the shore, and the bottom of the rolling stone comes out, which is a mountain, an island, a mountain and a rock. Green trees and vines, covered and twisted, staggered and brushed. (Pei Tong: Pei)
There are hundreds of fish in the pond. They are all swimming in the air. The sun is clear and their shadows are on the stones. Don't move, you are far away, and you seem to have a good time with the tourists. (Next Work: Next Work)
Looking from the southwest of the pool, you can see that it is zigzag. Their shore potentials are different from each other and their sources are unknown.
? Sitting by the pool, surrounded by bamboo forests, lonely and empty, sad and cold, quiet and quiet. It is too clear to live for a long time, but remember.
Travelers: Wu Wuling, Gong Gu, Yu Dizong Xuan. Cui Shi, a junior, said, "Forgive yourself" and "Serve me".
? This is a travel book. Liu Zongyuan: Zi Hou was a famous writer in Tang Dynasty. Together with Han Yu, he advocated the ancient prose movement in the middle Tang Dynasty, and he was also listed as the "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties" with Han Yu. Because he participated in the political reform movement led by Wang, he was demoted to Yongzhou Sima after his failure. During his stay in Yongzhou, Liu Zongyuan wrote a series of continuous landscape travel notes, including eight, namely, Travel Notes at the Beginning of the Western Hills Banquet, Notes on the Western Hills in Kotan, Notes on Xiaoshitang in the Western Hills, Notes on Yuan Jiake's Thirst, Notes on Shiqu, Notes on the Rock and Notes on Koishiyama, which were later called Eight Notes on Yongzhou. These essays describe the beautiful and peculiar natural scenery in concise and clear language, and express the author's bitter feelings about political and personal experiences, such as being trapped in a remote place for a long time and having great ambitions. They are masterpieces in the landscape travel notes of the Tang Dynasty.
This article is the fourth.
Eight Chapters of Yongzhou is to relieve the loneliness and indignation of Liu Zongyuan after his demotion, and to shift his attention to sightseeing, so as to get rid of this depressed mood temporarily. Xiaoshitang's story truly reflects Liu Zongyuan's true psychological feelings after being demoted to Yongzhou.
? At the beginning of the article, the author felt "happy" when he found the small stone pond with beautiful scenery; Seeing the fish swimming around in the article, I feel that they "seem to have a good time with swimmers".
But this joy is temporary after all. Once triggered by the bleak environment, the sad mood can't be suppressed. Therefore, the beautiful scenery of Xiaoshitang is also "sad and cold, sad and quiet". I can't appreciate it any longer, so I have to leave quickly.
These emotional changes truly reflect Liu Zongyuan's state of mind, which makes people truly feel the loneliness and loss of Liu Zongyuan's "there are no birds in a hundred mountains and no footprints in a thousand paths".
Secondly, this article is *** 192 words, but there are many places worth learning from in the method of writing scenery.
? In the first paragraph, I found that the methods of walking and changing scenery in Tan Xiao, from hills to bamboo, from bamboo to underwater sound, and then from underwater sound to Xiaoshitang, were full of curiosity, and gradually opened up a wonderful picture for people.
? In the second paragraph, observe at a fixed point, from near to far, and write the characteristics of Xiaoshitang and its surrounding scenery. Writing about swimming fish to highlight the crystal clear water is a profile description; Writing about swimming fish has a strong sense of lens, combining motion and static, and is superb.
? The third paragraph, grasp the characteristics and use metaphors skillfully. "Fluid" appears and disappears; The "shore potential" is different. The "stream body" twists and turns like the Big Dipper, and the stream winds like a snake. These two metaphors describe the twists and turns of rivers from static and dynamic aspects respectively.
? The fourth paragraph, the words are refined and accurate, the scene is mixed, and it contains ambiguity. Writing about the surrounding atmosphere of Xiaoshitang: Lonely Nobody touches the author's inner pain, which is "sad and quiet", "sad" and "cold", which dynamically shows the silence of the surrounding scene and the author's sadness and heartbreaking.
This precise terminology can be found everywhere in the text. For example, the first paragraph, "Green trees and vines, swaying, patchwork", can be described as a scene, both dynamic and static.
? The third point is the beautiful rhythm and rhythm of the article. The article is prose, but the sentences are mostly four sentences, with alternating length, width and width. It is fast and slow to read and full of rhythm, which makes people walk in the music, as if waltzing with the music.
