Don · Qian Qi "Returning to the Goose".

Xiaoxiang has nothing to do and wait to go back, the water is blue and the sand is bright on both sides of the moss.

The twenty-fifth string played the night moon, but it flew in without victory.

Notes] (1) Xiaoxiang: refers to the Hunan region. Waiting: casual, easy. (2) Twenty-five strings are musical instruments. (3) Please complain: This refers to the melody of sadness and grievance.

Translation: O wild geese! If you don't stay in such a beautiful place as Xiaoshui and Xiangshui, why should you come back from there so easily? There are clear turquoise waters, clear sand and gravel, and moss on the shore for you to feed, why don't you want to stay?

Dayan replied: The tune played by the god of Xiangling on a moonlit night is too sad, I can't stand the sad tune, so I have to leave Xiaoxiang and fly back to the north.

Notes]: 1. Eight formations: A figure composed of eight formations, used to drill the army or fight.

2. Three Kingdoms: refers to the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu.

3. Shi Bu** refers to the fact that when the water rises, the stones of the Eight Array Diagram are still not moving.

4. Swallowing Wu: It means swallowing Wu's mistakes.

Rhyme translation]: The Three Kingdoms are the strong, Kong Ming's exploits are the most outstanding, and the Bagua Array he created is even more famous through the ages.

Regardless of the impact of the river, the stone is still the same, and the resentment of the millennium lies in Liu Bei's misstep and wanting to swallow Wu.

Comment: This is a nostalgic poem. The author praises Zhuge Liang's great achievements, especially his military talents and achievements.

In the third and fourth sentences, he expressed regret that Liu Bei swallowed Wu and lost his master, burying Zhuge Liang's grand cause of uniting Wu and Cao to unify China. The last sentence should correspond to the beginning, and the third sentence should correspond to the second sentence; In terms of content, it is both nostalgic and expressive, affectionate and meaningful; Make a distinction in the quatrain.

Return to the geese

money up. Xiaoxiang has nothing to do and wait to go back, the water is blue and the sand is bright on both sides of the moss.

The twenty-fifth string played the night moon, but it flew in without victory.

Connoisseurship

The poet sold Liang to live in the north, and when he saw the wild geese returning to the north, he was touched by his feelings, so he wrote this poem "Returning to the Wild Goose".

As a migratory bird, it is a very normal natural phenomenon for geese to return from the south to the north whenever spring comes, but the poet prefers to ask: "What is Xiaoxiang waiting to go back to?" The water is clear and the sands are bright on both sides of the moss. These two sentences are inverted.

It means to say: "Xiaoxiang water is clear and white, the two sides are covered with moss, the water is warm and the food is sufficient, the scenery is beautiful, and the geese are just perched, why fly back casually?"

The ancients generally did not know much about the living habits of wild geese, and thought that when they flew to Huiyan Peak in the south of Hengyang County, Hunan, they no longer flew south, and returned to the north when the warm flowers bloomed in the spring of the second year. Xiaoxiang is in the south of the Dongting Zhongyun Lake, the water is warm and the food is sufficient, the climate is very good, the ancients thought that it was a good place for the wild geese to spend the winter, so the poet imagined that the wild goose flew from Xiaoxiang. Du Mu's poem "Early Goose":

Don't be tired of Xiaoxiang people, rolling water and more corn and berry moss. That's what it means.

The last two sentences are the poet's reply on behalf of the geese: "The twenty-fifth string plays the night moon, but it flies to clear the grievances." These two sentences use the legend of Xiangling Drummer.

According to ancient legends, the goddess of Xiangshui is good at drumming, and Se originally had fifty strings, but because the goddess played the tone of grievance, God decreed that it was changed to twenty-five strings. The title of Qian Qi's middle school poem is "Xiangling Drum", and the last two sentences "At the end of the song, people are gone, and the river is green", which is a famous sentence describing Xiangling Drum. Here the poet replied on behalf of Dayan by borrowing the Xiangling drum:

Xiaoxiang is a good place, but the goddess of Xiangshui often drums under the moon, and the sound of resentment is overwhelming, so she flies back to find a better place to perch.

Although the night scene of Xiaoxiang and the sound of the poem are imaginary, through such a question and answer, the wild goose is written as a well-informed and emotional creature.

This poem is rich in imagination and has a clear artistic conception. On the surface, he writes about wild geese, but in fact, he writes about the poet's feelings on a spring night. What is this feeling that is not explicitly stated in the poem? It is precisely because it is not clearly stated that it leaves unlimited room for the reader's imagination.

潇湘何事等leisure回xiāo xiāng hé shì děng xián huí?水碧沙明岸苔shuǐ bì shā míng liǎng àn tái。 Twenty-five strings play the night moon èr shí wǔ xián dàn yè yuè, 不 win clear resentment but fly to bù shèng qīng yuàn què fēi lái.

Original text and translation

Return to the geeseWhat is Xiaoxiang waiting for? The water is clear and the sands are bright on both sides of the moss.

The twenty-fifth string played the night moon, but it flew in without victory.

Translation: Wild goose, why did you fly away from the beautiful Xiangjiang River for no reason? There is a vast sand, a clear beach, abundant water and grass on both sides, and what a pleasant environment!

Is it because of the moonlit night of the goddess of Xiangshui, the sound base is sleepy and complaining, like crying and complaining, you can't bear the infinite desolation that touches the heartstrings?

Appreciation

The author of "Returning to the Goose" is Qian Qi, and the poet writes about the traveling geese full of sorrow, tactfully expressing the thoughts of traveling to other places. With its unique artistic characteristics, the poem has become one of the most eye-catching songs.

What is Xiaoxiang waiting for? The water is clear and the sands are bright on both sides of the moss. The first two sentences are inverted.

This abrupt inquiry, at once, leads the reader's thoughts to the path arranged by the poet—ignoring the habits of the geese, and exploring the reasons for the geese's return. The author is in the first place.

The third and fourth sentences were written on behalf of the geese: "Twenty-five strings play the night moon, but they fly to settle grievances." With the help of the wild goose full of sorrow and sorrow, the poet euphemistically expressed the sorrow of the guest living in a foreign land.

From the return geese to the habitat before their return, and to the myth that the goddess of the Xiangjiang River is good at drumming, and then according to the song "Returning to the Wild Goose", the drum is associated with the return of the wild goose, so that the whimsical ideas in the poem are formed.

Xiaoxiang has nothing to do and wait to go back, the water is blue and the sand is bright on both sides of the moss.

Twenty-five strings play the night moon, and they are full of grievances but return.

Notes: 1Xiaoxiang: the name of Ershui, in the territory of present-day Hunan. Waiting: Easy, casual.

2.Shui Bi Shaming: "Taiping Yulan" volume 65 quotes "Xiangzhong Ji": "Xiangshui to the clear ,......."White sand like snow. "Moss, food for birds, geese especially like to eat.

3.Twenty-five strings: Referring to "Chu Ci Far Travel": "Make the Xiangling drum stricken." ”

4.Win (tone rise): Bear.

The poet asked the wild goose: In the lower reaches of Xiaoxiang, the water is clear and the sand is bright, the scenery is beautiful, and the food is abundant, why did you leave such a good place casually and return to the north?

Dayan replied: The scenery in Xiaoxiang is beautiful, the food is abundant, and it could have been lived permanently. However, Xiang Ling's drumming on a moonlit night, and the tone that popped up from the twenty-five strings was too bleak and mournful! I couldn't bear my feelings, so I had to fly back to the north.
