divination operator

(written by a resident of Dinghui Yuan in Huangzhou)

The missing moon hanging on the sparse tung trees makes one feel calm at first. Who can see lonely people coming and going alone, misty and solitary shadows.

When you start, you look back. There is no one to forgive you for your hatred. Picking up all the cold branches and refusing to live on it, the lonely sandbank is cold

Appreciation

This poem was written in December of the fifth year of Yuanfeng (1082) when Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou and lived in Dinghui Yuan. In the poem, the image of a lonely hunk on a moonlit night is used to express the poet's aloofness and contempt for popular customs.

The first two sentences of the poem create a lonely atmosphere in the dead of night and the moon hanging on the trees, paving the way for the appearance of Youren and Guhong. "Leak" refers to the clepsydra used by the ancients to keep time; "leaky" refers to late at night. These two people are extraordinary in their writing, exaggerating a state of being born aloof and aloof. The next two sentences first point out the image of a "ghost" who lives alone and has a lot of worries, and then moves from "ghost" to lonesome in a light and flying way, making the two images correspond and fit together. , makes people think of: Isn’t the aloof state of mind of "Youren" just like the shadow of Gu Hong, who is as ethereal as a fairy? These two sentences are not only actual writing, but also through the correspondence and grafting of the images of humans and birds. They are highly symbolic and poetic and strengthen the otherworldliness of "Youren".

Xia Que is dedicated to the misfortune of Gu Hong, who harbors resentment and fear. He picked up all the cold branches and refused to rest on it, so he had to settle on a lonely and desolate sandbank. Here, the poet uses symbolic techniques to ingeniously express Hong's loneliness and mist, turning around in shock, harboring resentment, and choosing a place to stay, expressing the author's lonely situation when he was relegated to Huangzhou and his noble self-profession and unwillingness to follow the crowd. state of mind. The author and Gu Hong cherish each other. He uses anthropomorphic techniques to express Gu Hong's psychological activities and objectifies his own subjective feelings, which shows superb artistic skills.

The realm of this poem is indeed as Huang Tingjian said: "The meaning of the poem is sublime. It seems that it is not like eating fireworks and cannibalizing people's words, but it is not like there are thousands of books in the chest, and there is not a trace of tackiness in the writing, who can achieve this!" The high, free and easy state of being free from the mundane world benefits from the superb artistic skills. The author "sings stories with his spirit", taking themes and themes, setting scenes in his mind, and supporting things and people. In the description of the environment and background of Gu Hong and Moon Night, the scene selection and narrative are simple and concise, ethereal and flying, implicit and vivid. Expressive and highly typical.
