Ji Chengtian Temple Night Tour is praised by later generations?

It is known as the swan song of writing moonlight. There are no more than three reasons for this. First, there is a moon everywhere and there is no mention of the moon everywhere.

There is no mention of the word moon in the three sentences, but it gives people the feeling that moonlight is everywhere. This world of the moon is completely completed by metaphors. Second, metaphors can get rid of clichés.

It is combined with vision, illusion, suspense, and association to give people a refreshing feeling. When people write about moonlight, they always say that moonlight is like water, which is very accurate, but it looks old. Su Shi also compared moonlight to water, but it was an optical illusion:

The courtyard is like stagnant water, and it is a kind of stagnant water that is almost empty. This in itself is more vivid than simply saying that moonlight is like water. Then the author relates:

Where there is water, there will be aquatic plants algae and wattles, and these algae will also be intertwined. So how did these algae come to the hospital? The author broke it again after some doubts:

Cover bamboo cypress shadow also. This method of suspense and suspicion not only writes the shadow of the bamboo cypress vividly and realistically, but also suggests that the ubiquitous moonlight is indeed extremely exquisite. Third, the movement and stillness are inherited, adding a very poetic sense to the moonlight.

stagnant water and empty light", which is a kind of quiet beauty; "Algae crossed", this is a dynamic swaying beauty. The continuity of movement and stillness gives us an elegant and poetic transparent world. Only in this world can the author get rid of the sense of oppression of emigration, liberate himself from the narrow world similar to imprisonment, and achieve the realization of forgetting things and self and coexisting with heaven and earth.

It is known as the swan song of writing moonlight. This short essay is less than 100 words, but it is popular, and it can be called a masterpiece of ancient essays. Through memorizing, writing scenes, and lyricism, the article creates a kind of poetry-like artistic realm in extremely concise language, showing the author's expansive attitude towards life, and giving people a sense of beauty and edification.

A poem without rhyme, a swan song to remember.

It is known as the swan song of writing moonlight.

The text is divided into three layers.

1. The first layer of narrative. The first sentence points out the time of the incident "October 12 in the sixth year of Yuanfeng", when Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou for the "Wutai Poetry Case" as the deputy history of the regimental training for four years. That night, the moonlight shone into his room, the author wanted to go to bed, how could he be fascinated by this beautiful moonlight, and suddenly Yaxing, but thinking that there was no one to have fun with, he set off to look for Zhang Huaimin in Chengtian Temple not far away.

Zhang Huaimin, like Su Shi, was also a degraded official who was demoted to Huangzhou, and his friendship with Su Shi was quite strong. That night, Zhang Huaimin hadn't slept yet, so the two came to the middle of the yard for a walk together. This layer of narrative is simple, indifferent and natural and smooth. (Friends Night Tour).

2. The second layer of the scene. The author cherishes ink like gold, and only uses eighteen words to create a quiet and charming night scene with clear moonlight, mottled bamboo shadows, and seclusion and charm. Readers can use their imagination to unleash themselves

The moonlight is clear, sprinkled in the court, the clear white expanse is like a pool of water, and even better, there are aquatic plants floating and wandering in the "water", so it is suddenly like a fairyland.

The subtlety of the author lies in the fact that the shadows of bamboo, cypress and moonlight are used to contrast, compare, and metaphorize each other, and the metaphor is exquisite, novel, and appropriately renders the beauty and solemnity of the scenery. It also reflects the cool and clear characteristics of moonlight. It sets off the author's mood of leisurely pants and debate (night in the court).

3. The third layer turns to discussion. The author sighed, there is no moon in the night, where there is no bamboo and cypress, but there is this leisure and elegance to enjoy this scenery, except for him and Zhang Huaimin, I am afraid there are not much, the finishing touch of the whole article is the word "idler", Su Shi lives in Huangzhou, "no book signing official business", he is only a nominal official, and the Confucian ideal of "helping the people through the world" is far away, that is, the surface meaning of the so-called "idler", it euphemistically reflects the frustration of Su Shi's eunuchs.

From another point of view, the moonlight is beautiful, the bamboo shadow is beautiful, and people can't recognize it, only these two people can have the honor to appreciate it, isn't it a happy thing! Su Shi's thinking spans the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which makes his attitude towards the world extremely inclusive, and it can be said that he is not shocked by humiliation and can advance and retreat freely. Of course, his chapter in adversity can reflect his hidden charm even more!

The background of the creation of "Night Tour of Chengtian Temple": Written in the sixth year of Yuanfeng (1083) of Song Shenzong, the author has been demoted to Huangzhou for four years. In July of the second year of Yuanfeng, the famous "Wutai Poetry Case" in history, Li Ding and others extracted Su Shi's poems about the new law, saying that he slandered with poetry, and in August, he was arrested and imprisoned.

After a long interrogation and torture, he was almost killed. In December, the author was released from prison and demoted to Huangzhou as a deputy envoy for regimental training, but he was not allowed to "sign official affairs", that is, he was an idle official with a position but no power. In this case, the author is almost in exile and in a melancholy mood; However, he was still enterprising, so he wrote this short article.

Original text: On the night of October 12 in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, I undressed and fell asleep, entered the house in the moonlight, and set off happily. Those who have nothing to do with pleasure go to Chengtian Temple to find Zhang Huaimin.

Huaimin also did not sleep, walking with each other in the atrium. Under the court, such as the stagnant water is empty, the algae and wattles in the water are crossed, and the shadow of the bamboo and cypress is also covered. Why is there no moon in the night?

Where is there no bamboo cypress? But there are few idlers like the ears of the two of us.

Vernacular translation: On the night of October 12, the sixth year of Yuanfeng, I was taking off my clothes and preparing to go to bed, when I saw the moonlight shining through the portal, and I couldn't help but be interested in a night tour, so I happily got up and went out. Thinking that there was no one to play with, he went to Chengtian Temple to find Zhang Huaimin.

Zhang Huaimin hadn't slept yet, so the two of us walked together in the courtyard. The moonlight in the courtyard is as clear as standing water. Algae and aquatic plants crisscrossed the garden, and it turned out to be the shadow of bamboo and pine and cypress branches in the courtyard.

What night is there no moon? Where is there no bamboo or cypress trees? It's just that there's a lack of idle people like the two of us.

Appreciation: "Night Tour of Chengtian Temple" is an ancient text written by the Song Dynasty writer Su Shi. The article makes a wonderful description of the scenery on a moonlit night, truly records a fragment of the author's life in Huangzhou, and also reflects his deep friendship with Zhang Huaimin and infinite emotion for few bosom friends, and at the same time expresses his bitterness and self-exclusion of ambition, and shows his optimistic attitude towards life.

The full text is sincere in emotion, concise and rich, starting from the moment and ending at the moment, such as flowing clouds and water, in one go.

First, the author was degraded, depressed and lonely. The second is because the moonlight is beautiful.

In the original poem, in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, on the night of October 12, he undressed and fell asleep, entered the house by moonlight, and set off happily.

This sentence has already told us the reason: on the night of October 12 in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, the author just wanted to sleep, and suddenly found that the moonlight through the window was particularly bright and beautiful, because the moonlight happily got up and went outside.

"Ji Chengtian Temple Night Tour" is a prose written by Su Shi, selected from the first volume of "Dongpo Zhilin", written in the sixth year of Yuanfeng (1083) of Song Shenzong.

At that time, Su Xiaoge was demoted to Huangzhou because of the "Wutai Poetry Case". In this case, there is the bitterness of ambition and hard reward, so I will definitely think about going out for a walk, and then I will suddenly figure it out when I see the scenery on a moonlit night, and become open and optimistic.
