Appreciation of the original translation of the poem Xianyang Worth Rain

Tang dynasty: Wen

It's raining heavily in xian yangqiao, and fishing boats are separated by ten thousand points.

Just like the spring water in Dongting, Xiaoyun enters Yueyang Day.

translate

It's raining on Yang Bridge in Xi 'an, and the drizzle is swaying with the wind, just like a crystal curtain hanging in the air; The moored fishing boats are blocked by this continuous crystal curtain, which is picturesque. The fog in front of us looks like the fog on Dongting Lake in early spring. And the heavy twilight, as if with water vapor, slowly drifted over Yueyang City. It's really beautiful.

This is a poem describing the rain scene, which is lively, swaying and unique in image. Xian yangqiao, also known as Linqiao, is on the Weihe River outside the north gate of Chang 'an, which is a traffic tunnel leading to the northwest. Throughout the ages, the historical curtain of many joys and sorrows, ups and downs and survival has risen and fallen here. However, this time, the poet walked in the rain, but he was carefree and didn't frown and lock his eyes. His pen and ink show a vague landscape.

The first sentence gets to the point. "xian yangqiao" refers to the land and "rain" refers to the scenery, which are straightforward and simple. At the end of the sentence, the word "hanging" is refined, and the texture of a rainy foot stretching like a curtain foil is vivid, smart and imposing, and fascinating. In the next sentence, the poet pushed the observation point from the bridge head to the distant water surface, and described the endless rain color from the vast space. This is a technique to turn off secret titles. "Ten thousand points" is the secret book of Rain Array. The word "empty" has the most weight, which sets off the special atmosphere of rain and water vapor evaporation and points out the color changes brought by this spring rain to the surrounding environment. Using a pen is very similar to China painter's daubing technique. If you wipe it out with light ink, there will be infinite beauty. This misty and rainy scene, similar to the weather in Jiangnan water town, is the artistic conception that the poet focuses on describing, which makes the following imagination the key to a transformation. "Fishing boat" is a real scene in the poem. The poet used the word "partition" to push it away from the misty rain, looming as if nothing had happened, as if it were going to be dissolved in a pale picture, far away from the image.

The first two sentences are carried forward together, and the hair grows around the scenery in front of you. The third sentence is long and straight, turning around in vain, from the rainy scene in Xianyang to the spring scene in Dongting. On the region, the sky is far apart; On the scenery, it rains on sunny days. The medium to realize the connection and transformation of these two unrelated water and sky pictures is some similarity between them-that is, the foggy scenery mentioned above. This may be a rare spectacle in the rain in the Weihe River, but it is a common color in Dongting Zeguo. The poet sensitively grasps this point, exerts his artistic imagination, uses the word "still like" as a powerful rotation, skillfully connects them together, and paints a magnificent and wonderful picture. Dongting Lake is a huge submerged sea, with steaming waves swaying and devouring the sky. In the poet's view, the wet Xiaoyun seemed to float above Yueyang ancient city with the next day's water vapor. This is an extremely spectacular sight. The word "will enter" can be said to be a pen carrying a cloud.

The author deliberately describes the cloud cover and water color of Baling Lake in order to set off the rainy scene in Xianyang and make it more prominent. This is a method of borrowing from association, using virtual reality and the object of seeing the subject from the guest, connecting two seemingly unrelated scenes in space, which constitutes the artistic characteristics of this poem.

In the seventh year of Xian Tong (866), Wen served as a teaching assistant in Chang 'an. It is generally believed that Wen's appointment as Dr. Tai Chang (said to be a teaching assistant who was in charge of the imperial academy exam at that time) was recommended by Xu Shang. After Xu Shang went on strike, Wen was killed by Yang Shou and dismissed from office. There are always different opinions about the strike time of Xu and Shang, mainly including Xian Tong's six-year theory and Xian Tong's ten-year theory. According to imperial academy's list, Wen and Xian Tong worked in imperial academy for seven years. According to Yin Chubing's Chronology of Hu Ling, Wen served as a teaching assistant in 1996 and presided over the autumn examination. Because of more than 30 Jinshi poems, Yang Shou, the prime minister, was offended and degraded, and he died soon. There is an article "List imperial academy".

In the 10th year of Xian Tong, Tang Yizong (869), in April, Wen Tingyun's younger brother was killed in Xuzhou. In June, Xu Shang went on strike and was appointed as my ambassador to Beijing South. In February 2008, Yang collected the stream and went to Luzhou to die. "Tang Xin Jiu Shu" records that after Xu Shang was deposed, Wen fell ill and was demoted by Yang, which Xia thought was wrong.

Tang Yizong Xian Tong eleven years (870). This year, Zhang Wen demoted Jing Zhaoyin to Sima and committed suicide by taking poison. He is a distant relative of Wen. A few years ago, Taoist Yu was killed for killing young girl Qing Qiao. The new Biography of Talented Talents in Tang Dynasty contains more than friendship with literature, and there are articles such as Seeing Wen Feiqing off on a Winter Night and Seeing Fei Qing off. Years later, Wen's actions are beyond examination.
