Song Xuelian sentence
(What does it look like with snow? The salty air is so different.) It's not like catkins will rise due to the wind.
白雪
This article is selected from "Poems of the Pre-Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties". This is a very famous story. One cold winter day, there was a heavy snowfall outside. Xie Daoli's uncle, the famous politician Xie and Biedao Niu Jia at the time. Looking at the fascinating snow scene, his poems were thriving, so he pointed to Feixue outside the window and sang: "What does it look like?" Xie An's nephew, Huer, was beside him, and then he responded, "The salty sky is bad. Draft." Xie Dao pinched a little thought, and replied: "It's not as if the catkins rise due to the wind." Xie An listened and praised Xie Daoshe's poem. Later generations called her "Yong Xu Cai".
詠為
What is so good about this poem? We can compare it with Hu'er's sentence. Xie An’s first sentence puts forward a proposition, asking the respondent to describe the appearance of snow in a metaphorical way. Everyone knows that all metaphors require similarity as the basis, but as poetry, it is more important to have artistic conception, to be implicit and full of imagination, and to give people a beautiful enjoyment. Hu'er uses salt as a comparison, and the image resembles it, but salt is a necessity in life. It is too ordinary to arouse the association of beauty. Compared with this, Xie Daoti's comparison with catkins rising with the wind makes us feel very close and graceful. Drifting catkins are always associated with the beautiful spring scenery. On the one hand, it can trigger people's beautiful reverie. Poems such as "Sweeping willows and floating cotton see off" vividly express the tenderness of spring.
柳素
On the other hand, the winter snowflakes and the spring catkins are linked together, which can make readers feel the huge jump of thoughts and the richness and novelty of imagination. For example, "Suddenly like a night spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms" also use the spring scene as a metaphor for winter snow. Although it is written about the static snow on the trees, it is similar to Xie Daoti's poem. In the end, the catkins "rising from the wind" are used to express the flying snowflakes, which not only achieves the similarity in form and spirit, but also reproduces the natural falling snow from the top down, creating a beautiful and timeless artistic conception.
柳屎
joint sentence is a difficult task. On the one hand, it should have a good content, and at the same time, it should take care of the inheritance relationship with the previous sentence. The word "Wei Ruo" echoes Hu'er's "Chaike", showing the author's greater confidence in his poems. In fact, it is true. It is no wonder Xie Daoti is famous for this poem, which is indeed a rare good one.
