Why Wang Zhilian s Climbing the Stork s Tower is better than Changdang s 5

Wang Zhilian's poems are more positive and optimistic than Changdang, full of hope for the future.

The site of the Stork Tower is on the bank of the Yellow River in the southwest of the ancient Puzhou City in Yongji City, Shanxi Province.

Stork Tower: The ancient name is the Stork Bird Tower, because there are storks perched on it from time to time, and its "Puzhou Mansion Chronicles" records: "(Stork Bird Tower) used to be in the middle and high places of the Yellow River in the southwest of the county-type hungry city, and there were storks perched on it from time to time, so it was named. ”

This poem is one of the only six quatrains of the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Zhilian. One said that the author Wang Zhihuan was the county magistrate of Hengshui (now Hebei) in Jizhou in his early years, and was soon dismissed because he was framed, and Wang Zhilian, who was less than 30 years old, has since lived a life of visiting friends and roaming. When this poem was written, Wang Zhihuan was only thirty-five years old.

However, according to the inscription of the tomb of Wang Zhilian and his wife, Wang Zhilian was born in the fourth year of the vertical arch (688), and then "made up for the main book of Hengshui in Jizhou with Menzi", and was still in the position of the chief secretary of Hengshui when he married his wife Li in the tenth year of Kaiyuan (722), and the tenure lasted until around the fourteenth year of Kaiyuan (726).

After that, he was dismissed from office and traveled leisurely, and at this time Wang Zhihuan was nearly forty years old. After fifteen years of leisurely travel, he was reinstated in the first year of Tianbao (742) to reinstate the lieutenant of Wen'an County, Wen'an County, and died soon after at the age of fifty-five. Scholar Li Xibi speculates that this poem may have been written by Wang Zhihuan when he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, and was composed between the fifteenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty (727) and the twenty-ninth year (741).

The old site was newly built

The stork tower was built in 557-571 A.D., built by the general Yuwen Hu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it is a military garrison, which survived for about 700 years in the Tang and Song dynasties, and was destroyed in the war in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty. For hundreds of years, countless literati and scholars could only look at the rolling Yellow River and leave regrets.

In July 2001, Yongji City restored and rebuilt the Stork Bird Tower near its old site based on historical data. The new building was officially opened to visitors in September 2002, allowing visitors to re-appreciate the sense of the ancients.

The reason why this five-character quatrain, which is only two crosses, has become a popular swan song for the ages is mainly because it has the three beauties that a poem must have: the beauty of artistic conception, the beauty of emotional rhyme, and the beauty of language.

At the end of the day, the Yellow River flows into the sea flow. The poet used freehand techniques, just a few strokes, to outline the spectacular scene of the sunset on the mountains and the rushing of the river seen by climbing the stork's tower. Its heroic and magnificent, makes people fascinated; The magnificence of the artistic conception can no longer be added.

At the same time, its charm is also very beautiful. "If you want to be poor, go to the next level. It not only describes the kind of real experience and taste that people share when they climb the heights to view the scenery, and they are unwilling to show weakness, unwilling to lag behind, and never give up until they reach their goals, but also with the previous two sentences, blending seamlessly, full of pride and grandeur, implying the philosophy of life that only by standing tall can we look far, and expressing the enterprising spirit of striving for progress and constantly discovering new realms.

Poetry is the art of language, and it is the most powerful literary style. The above-mentioned beauty of rhyme and artistic conception is expressed through language. The four lines of the poem are two and two pairs, complementing each other, neat and natural and smooth, clear and beautiful and picturesque.

The arrangement and use of words seems to be ordinary but very exquisite: the word "yi" accurately and vividly depicts the characteristics of the evening mountain sunset; The word "flow" lengthens the eyesight with association, conveying the momentum of the river rushing and pouring for thousands of miles; The words "into the sea" make the artistic conception far beyond the picture, and the words "yellow" and "white" paint the picture with the strange colors of mountains and rivers and sunsets. Especially.

The third and fourth sentences are literally against each other, and the semantics are inherited from top to bottom, just like the water of a big river, which runs through one vein. Such a wonderful "flowing water" method makes the rational interest contained in it appear vigilant and timeless, like water **melting, and it is integrated. Reading it makes people's hearts open and recited, not only for the poet's breath to swallow the world's embrace, but also for the grandeur of the motherland's mountains and rivers to be proud, so that I can't help but be inspired.

Draw endless spiritual power from it.

The day is based on the mountain" and there is "end", which means that time is limited, and people should cherish the time and seize it, and not waste the years. "The Yellow River flows into the sea" and "flows" for a long time, which shows that people must have lofty and correct ideals, goals, and realms, and the more they advance, the broader and more magnificent the future will be.

Therefore, people should establish correct ideals and goals, seize the time, and forge ahead bravely! Otherwise, there will eventually be a "end" like the day and the mountain!

The author understands that it is to take a broader view, and people can only transcend themselves (such as abandoning fame, fortune, and lust, and achieving the true and good...).The mind is as broad as the sea, so that we can go to the next level, be far-sighted, and understand the true purpose of life!

In the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, I read a poem called "Climbing the Stork's Tower", written by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Zhilian, which directly reflects the changes in the living environment of the common people and the tendency of poetry to be blurred through the description of natural scenery, reflecting the characteristics of civilianization. The details are as follows:

1.The poems depict the climb to the building, highlight the importance of cultural and recreational activities, and reflect the transformation of the daily routine and entertainment of the common people.

2.The poem's description of natural scenery expresses the author's admiration for nature and concern for life, which is an indispensable part of the poems of the Bunga.

3.The language of the poems is concise and simple, without too many ornate chain decorations, which conforms to the characteristics of civilian poems and celebration songs, making it easier for ordinary people to understand, accept and sing.

In short, Wang Zhilian's "Climbing the Stork's Tower" skillfully integrates elements of nature, culture, entertainment and other elements, based on civilian poetry, and expresses and reflects the changes and transformations of civilian life and cultural features at that time through poetry. This style of poetry, which is close to people's lives, has had a profound impact on the Tang Dynasty to the present.

When the poet climbed the stork's tower, he saw the sun at the end of the mountain and the Yellow River flowing towards the sea.

"Climbing the Stork Tower" is a poem written by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Zhilian. The first two lines of this poem are written about natural scenery, but the beginning of the pen is shrunk thousands of miles away, so that there is a tendency of thousands of miles at hand; The last two sentences are written in a freehand manner, which is unexpected, and dissolves the philosophy, scenery, and situation seamlessly.
