Yang Wanli can be called the "soul catcher" among poets, and today we share ten poems of Yang Wanli to feel the tranquility and serenity of his subtleties.
Koike
Yang Wanli (Song Dynasty)
The springs are silent and the water is silent, and the shade of the trees loves the water.
The little lotus only showed its sharp horns, and there were dragonflies standing on its head.
This small and exquisite song, but with a simple connotation of "Xiao Chi", is a must-have article for most people in elementary school.
Perhaps when I first saw it, I was forced to memorize it and did not feel its beauty.
However, many years later, when I read this poem again, I instantly felt healed.
It is not like Tang poetry, which has heavy topics; nor is it like Song poetry, which has profound thoughts. It has only beautiful language and rich feelings.
Its pattern is small, and the four most common images of April are: a small stream, a small shade, a small lotus flower with buds, and a small dragonfly.
However, when these four images are combined, they are so gentle, so exquisite and clear, and full of vitality.
In fact, good works are often not those big and difficult to understand, but use a way to return to the basics, to induce you to return to nature, return to nature, and find the meaning of life.
Suxin Xugong store
The hedge is sparse and deep, and the new green at the head of the tree is not shaded.
Children rush to chase yellow butterflies, flying into cauliflower nowhere to be found.
After reading this poem, the picture of catching dragonflies and butterflies as a child can't help but slowly overflow in my mind.
Time passes in a hurry, but that good time is hard to erase.
The hedges are sparse, the paths are long, and the flowers on the trees are falling, and no new leaves have yet grown, and no shade has been formed. Like "Little Pond", there are not too many complicated scenes here, just a small quiet and rustic village.
The slightest fluctuation in tranquility can make people jump. Or a bird song, a fallen leaf, a drizzle. And here in Yang Wanli, he is a lively child. He was running happily along the path of the butterfly's flight, and his two small hands kept flapping the butterfly that was flying faster and faster. Not far away was a large patch of cauliflower, yellow, and it just so happened that the butterfly was also yellow, and it flew into the flower bush and did not know which flower it landed on.
Isn't that child who we were when we were children? Time is rushing, childhood memories have gradually faded, and many happy, even silly things have long been remembered. But my childhood self also caught dragonflies and butterflies like the little dolls in the poem, and those times are vividly remembered.
Boat past Anren
Two children in a leaf fishing boat, collecting and parking in the boat.
Strange life without rain are open umbrellas, not to cover the head is to make the wind.
Children's innocence and innocence always heal the wounds of our social whipping.
In 1192, when Yang Wanli was passing by an boat in Anren County (present-day Yujiang County, Jiangxi Province), he saw two children using umbrellas as sails to move the boat forward.
This was a very common thing, but he was infected by the childishness and cute behavior of children, as if he had returned to his childhood, and his mind also had a wonderful idea that only children have: why did the two children on the small fishing boat put away the penny, stop the oars, and open their umbrellas when it did not rain, oh! It turned out not to cover the rain, but to use the wind to make the ship move forward!
He focused his attention on the children, and the whole poem was written about the childish behavior of children, the love for children was overflowing with words, and the cleverness and cleverness revealed in the play of the two children were praised.
Of course, only those who are not yet childlike can see the child's innocence and childishness.
Childish ice
The golden basin of the child is shed from the ice, and the colored silk is worn as a silver pot.
Knocking into a jade chime through the forest sounded, suddenly making the sound of glass breaking the ground.
Yang Wanli pays extra attention to children.
In the spring of 1179 AD, Yang Wanli, as the local governor of Changzhou, participated in the traditional activity of beating spring cattle in Changzhou. After the event, Yang Wanli walked on the road and saw a group of children who were not afraid of the cold, learning the appearance of adults playing spring cattle, and gently tapping the ice cubes frozen in the plate at night in their hands. 52-year-old Yang Wanli, deeply attracted by the scene of children de-icing and playing, watched with great interest, admired with great interest, and suddenly heard the sound of ice cubes breaking, only to pull back to reality. It turns out that the joy of life is so simple.
There is a saying: "There are no adults in this world, only wrinkled children." "In fact, in everyone's heart, there is a small child living. Because children always see the world with an innocent childlike heart and believe in all kinds of beauty in the world. And this beauty is exactly what everyone in the world longs for.
Idle early summer nap up · one
Plums leave sour soft teeth, plantains divided into green and window screens.
Day long sleeps up and thinks ruthlessly, idly watching children catch willow flowers.
One summer afternoon, Yang Wanli took a nap, listless, when he saw the children chasing Liu Shu, the childlike heart was revived, and he was unexpectedly immersed in it.
Basho is divided into green, willow flowers are dancing, and his feelings are as fresh and leisurely as the scenery, and the childlike fun is full of fun. Children catch willow flowers, and willow flowers seem to have unlimited childlike hearts, playing hide-and-seek with children in the wind.
Ming Dynasty Li Zhen's "Child's Heart": Childlike Heart, True Heart. Absolutely false and innocent, the original heart of the first thought. If you lose your childlike heart, you lose your true heart; if you lose your true heart, you lose your true person. The virgin, the beginning of man, the childlike, the beginning of the heart.
People in middle age, experienced sadness and vicissitudes, the face is no longer a young teenager, at this time, should use a child's heart, smile to see the vicissitudes and change, return to the source of the soul.
Mulberry tea pit road
Yang Wanli [Song Dynasty]
When the rain is dry on a clear and windy day, the grass is full of flowers and the water is full of water.
The boy Liu Yin was sleeping, and a cow had eaten Liu Yin Xi.
In 1192, the sixty-six-year-old Yang Wanli, because the imperial court ordered the use of iron money in the counties of Jiangnan to write a letter to obstruct, offended the Zai chen, was demoted to the secret cabinet to repair, lift the Wanshou Palace, he in August he was relieved of illness and returned to Jishui.
On the way back to the city, he passed through Sangchakeng Road in Jing County, Anhui Province, at this time, it was the first sunny day after the rain, the wind and the sun were beautiful, the rain on the ground had evaporated without a trace, the water in the creek was full of river troughs, the wild grass on the shore was luxuriant, and the wildflowers were blooming freely.
In the willow shade next to the embankment, a small shepherd boy was lying on the grass, sleeping soundly. And the cow just buried its head in the grass, and walked farther and farther away, straight to the west of the willow forest.
Such a simple and simple picture of life, but it is extremely healing, and the last resort on the road seems to disappear with the evaporation of rainwater.
The children's childlike fun diluted Yang Wanli's depression in his career. In fact, life should be as simple and happy as a child, maintaining a childlike heart, why not be a happy thing? He was glad that he had always retained a childlike heart!
Idle early summer nap up · second
Song yin a half-bow moss, occasionally want to read and lazy.
Playing with banana leaves in the clear spring, children mistakenly recognize the sound of rain coming.
This is another poem in Yang Wanli's "Idle Early Summer Nap Two Absolute Sentences". Wake up from a nap, bored, sleepy-eyed.
Yang Wanli's idle life at home is free and unrestrained. Moreover, it is in the early summer, which is the season of "spring sleep without knowing", and it is even more difficult to feel that people are lazy and confused in spring.
Waking up from a nap, there is a layer of turquoise moss under the thick pine shade, which looks quiet and cool. Suddenly I picked up the book and wanted to read it, but I didn't bother to open it, and I picked up the spring in my hand to sprinkle the banana leaves, and the children heard it and thought it was raining.
This poem, just like the environment described in Liu Yuxi's "Buried Chamber Inscription" of the Tang Dynasty, "the moss marks are green on the upper steps, and the grass is green in the curtain", but what it expresses is the same as "the chaotic ears of the silkless bamboo, the labor form of the caseless", resigning from the official and returning to the field, leisurely and at ease.
Early autumn garden
The sunset is merciless and the most affectionate, prompting thousands of trees to sing the twilight cicadas.
It sounds like there is nowhere to be found, but when it comes to the side, it is silent.
Compared with the deceitful and muddy officialdom, Yang Wanli obviously prefers pastoral and rural life.
In the early autumn, the sun urged the cicadas, the cicadas chirped one after another, and the sound was close at hand, so he listened to the sound and searched, but once he found it nearby, there was no sound.
It's not something we used to do when we were kids! At that time, we didn't think it was very interesting, but when we read Yang Wanli's poem again, did we feel particularly fresh and chic and interesting?
Intending to catch cicadas, he suddenly closed his mouth. Just as Yuan Ming's "Sexual Spirit Theory" a hundred years later shows, only by expressing true feelings can poets reflect the lyrical nature of poetry itself, and can they show the artistic charm of natural freshness, vividness and liveliness, and humor and chicness.
Planting songs
The farmer threw the seedlings and the women took over, and the children pulled the seedlings and planted them.
Kasa is a hood and a nail, and the rain is wet from the head to the blade.
Summoning Qu to the meal for half a moment, he bowed his head and bent his waist but did not answer.
The roots are not firmly turned, and the geese and ducks are taken care of.
This is a sketch of a family planting seedlings.
Look, in the spring rain, the farmer's family of four, wearing bucket hats, wearing a coat, the husband and wife threw the seedlings, and the naughty little son picked up the seedlings and planted them again.
In the eyes of the child, the bucket on the head is the helmet, the cloak is the armor, and they wear a strong and sharp, fighting the rain. What was hard work in the fields also became interesting.
After a while, the peasant woman called on the farmer to eat breakfast, and the husband bent down and bowed his head to work, did not agree, but said: "The roots of the seedlings are not yet solid, the seedlings in this field have not yet been planted and dismantled, you must be careful when you go home, do not let them destroy the seedlings." ”
In this poem, the scene of the farmer planting seedlings is so vivid and lively that it is refreshing to read. It also evokes memories of our time in farming.
As Xu Zhongyu's "Tang and Song Poems" said: "This poem, throughout the passage with colloquialisms, colloquialisms into sentences, with no show or even unadorned white painting techniques, writes out the scene of the peasant planting seedlings, so simple, so real, and so vivid, so image, only to feel a lively breath of life overflowing from the poem, to the people." ”
light rain
The rain comes and goes, even if it can't be more than nothing.
It seems that the jealous poet mountain enters the eyes, and the thousand peaks are separated by a curtain of beads.
Yang Wanli focuses on the small things in life, from "Xiao chi" to "Little Rain", natural scenery, to Yang Wanli's pen, always full of endless interest.
In this poem, the rain is a loveless thing, and Yang Wanli prefers to give it the same feelings as people, so that the poem is full of freshness.
The slightest drizzle, sparsely pulled down, neither falling much nor refusing to stop, like a naughty child deliberately doing it, so why? It turned out that I was jealous that I liked to admire the green mountains in the distance too much, and deliberately dripped a layer of beaded curtains from under the eaves to cover my view.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile lightly, Qianfeng was separated by a curtain of beads, because it was not much rain, it was a sparse bead curtain, across it to look at the distant peaks, increasing the mist, more poetic than looking directly at the mountains. Carefully tasting, between the lines, full of the author's love for this naughty and cute little rain. That's it, that's it!
Small poems with simple and straightforward language, if you want to write taste, you need a higher imagination. Yang Wanli is worthy of being an observer in life.
