In ancient times when there was no air conditioning, ordinary people could only rely on God to cool down in summer, for example, to cool down in the shade of a tree at noon, and to cool off outdoors at night. Maybe. This will have a special charm, and the poets have left a lot of poems about summer because of this.
The following four works are all masterpieces of the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu, Li Shangyin, Du Mu, are all first-class poets in the Tang Dynasty, their works, naturally, are excellent, although there is no positive description of summer, but each has its own merits, almost every capital has a famous sentence through the ages, which makes people love it when they read it. As for the poet Gao Biao, his popularity is relatively low, and compared with the first three great poets, it is even more incomparable, but his poem "Mountain Pavilion Summer" has a unique charm and a long and elegant artistic conception, writing a very charming summer scene.
1. Du Fu's "Jiangcun"
Qingjiang is a song hugging the village flow, and everything in Changxia Jiangcun is quiet.
From the beginning of the beam on the swallow, close to the gulls in the water.
The old wife draws paper for a chess game, and the child strikes a needle for a fishing hook.
But there are old people who offer rice, what else do you want for a micro body?
This poem was written in Du Fu's later years, when Du Fu came to Shuzhong, with the support of a friend, he built a thatched cottage, and after several years of displacement, he finally had a relatively stable residence, it is conceivable that Du Fu's mood was happy at this time. This poem "Jiangcun" was written in the summer of this period.
This is a seemingly plain, but the poetry is perfect seven-character poem, Du Fu with pure and elegant brushstrokes, meaning a long language, wrote the beautiful scenery of summer around the cottage, as well as the harmony and beauty of village life, the summer Jiangcun, depicted the realm of incomparably enviable, for modern people, it is a desirable leisurely, simple and slow-paced life.
Du Fu wrote a pleasing scene at the beginning, the summer is long, everything feels quiet and beautiful, the swallows on the beam, the gulls and herons in the water, are so harmonious and beautiful, and the life of drawing paper for chess with the old wife, sitting and watching the child knock the needle as a fishing hook, is full of enviable family fun. These simple scenes and simple little things make for an excellent mood that makes people smile when they read.
2. Li Shangyin's "Evening Sunshine"
Living deep in the city, spring goes to summer and is still clear. Providence is merciful to the grass, and the world is sunny at night.
And add a high pavilion, micro note small window. After the nest dries, the flying body is lighter.
This is a small poem written after the spring goes, when the beautiful early summer comes, maybe you haven't heard of the other sentences, but "God's will is merciful to the grass, the world is heavy and sunny" This sentence is too famous, many people have not read this poem, but they can recite these two sentences, and even many people don't quite understand the meaning of these two sentences, but they can feel the kind of beauty that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, and become a famous sentence loved by readers.
The superficial meaning of these two poems is very simple, that is, God always pities the grass in the secluded place, and the world often cherishes the sunny day in the evening.
3. Du Mu's "Qi'an County Houchi Quatrain"
Lingtou duckweed green brocade pond, summer warbler thousands of roses.
No one looks at the light rain all day long, and the mandarin ducks are relatively bathed in red.
Du Mu's most eye-catching poems, on the one hand, are his masterpieces of history, and on the other hand, his works of nostalgia for his life experience, such as "Jiangdong's children are talented, and the comeback is unknown", "Yangzhou dream in ten years, win the name of Qinglou Bo Xing", etc., are all popular sentences. It seems that his scene writing works rarely appear on the scene, but this "Qi'an County Houchi Quatrain" represents Du Mu's artistic attainments in another style.
This is a poem describing the seven unique poems of summer ponds, and the four lines of the poem seem to have no emotion at first, like a bystander, standing by a pond, strolling through the summer promenade, looking at the surrounding scenery, and recording it. He wrote about the splendid beauty of the pond crisscrossed by bathing in the light rain, the beauty of the summer warblers and roses blooming in the surrounding forests, and the scene of the mandarin ducks playing in the pond in the light rain without anyone accompanying them, which is very charming.
However, this is also Du Mu's cleverness, he seems to be all about writing scenes, but in fact he has hidden his feelings deeply, the mandarin duck is relatively bathed in red, and he can only see the light rain all day long, there is no doubt that the poet has a trace of sorrow in his heart, which is also the charm of this poem.
4. Gao Biao's "Summer in the Mountain Pavilion"
The green trees are thick and the summer days are long, and the buildings are reflected in the pond.
The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises, and the shelves are full of roses.
Gao Biao was not a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, but some of his poems were written with charm and evocativeness, and this poem "Summer in the Mountain Pavilion" written about summer scenery is undoubtedly such a representative.
In fact, the first two sentences of this poem are mediocre, just writing about some of the most common scenes in summer, green trees, terraces and ponds, for every rich and noble family, it is a very ordinary scene. The poet's wonderful pen is all in the last two sentences, and the wonderful pen of the last two sentences is inseparable from the first two sentences, which is a good poem.
The poet said in the last two sentences that the crystal curtain at the door fluttered slightly, it must be a breeze, and the roses in the courtyard smelled incense everywhere. The beauty of these two sentences is all in the order, you know, the summer is very hot, even the wind is hot, so sometimes the breeze hits, we can't feel it at all, but the poet uses a wonderful pen, first see the curtain movement (maybe it is a real writing, or it is to see the reflection of the water surface), and then write the wind, and then use the fragrance of the rose courtyard to confirm, this is very charming, if the poet first writes the wind, and then writes the curtain movement, the poetry will be a lot lighter.
