Appreciation of Ouyang Xiu's Picking Mulberry
A set of "Picking Mulberry Seeds" by Ouyang Xiu describes the beautiful scenery of the West Lake from different aspects ("Records of Zheng Deying's Zhou", Volume I), which reflects Ouyang Xiu's leisurely and elegant psychology after his retirement.
This word is one of the words in Picking Mulberry Seeds. Describing the scenery of the four seasons is an important part of Ouyang Xiu's mulberry-picking ci. This song ranks first, and it is about the West Lake in spring. Scenery and artistic conception, dynamic and static, vision and hearing are combined in pairs to form a flowing landscape.
In a relaxed and elegant style, the whole poem describes the beautiful scenery seen while boating in Yingzhou West Lake. Taking "canoeing" as the basic point of viewing, the boat changes scenery, but the artistic conception is the same. Gorgeous colors, beautiful style, full of poetry and painting, fresh and pleasant to read.
Shangcheng mainly writes about bank scenery, and its style is relaxed and elegant. "Good West Lake" is the crowning touch of an article, and the word "short" euphemistically writes the meaning of leisure. Because it is short, canoes float slowly and leisurely on the lake, so tourists have enough time to watch the spring scenery on both sides.
The phrase "green water winds and grass grows on the long embankment" is a dynamic picture of the lake passing through the center of the lake and facing the embankment, and then advancing to the distance as a whole. The phrase "music everywhere" depicts the happy mood of the West Lake from the perspective of hearing, and "music everywhere" and "music everywhere" highlight the sense of mobility of the canoe.
Xiatan's point of view is closed, mainly written as "green water winding" It is written that the water surface is smooth and the word "no wind" is the base. Because there is no wind, it makes the water surface of the West Lake clear and smooth, and also makes tourists "feel the ship moving", which is both poetic and logical.
Write down that the movement of the boat startled the birds, broke the calm of the lake, and added a stimulus to this leisurely trip. Probably the sand bird has long been used to the calm of the West Lake, so the small ripples brought by the canoe are enough to scare the sand bird to fly over the shore. Therefore, from near to far and then to high, the three-dimensional and dynamic West Lake is presented to readers.
Taking the canoe as a clue, the whole poem gradually writes out the scenic features of dikes and lakes, and integrates tourists' leisure into them. The canoe is short, the green water is fragrant, and the tourists sing the birds. In this context, "Good West Lake" has been vividly interpreted.
The whole poem describes Yingzhou West Lake in spring. The scenery is so charming, the green water twists and turns, the long beach is green, the grass is lush, and soft music is faintly heard in the spring breeze. The water is as flat as a mirror, and the boat goes on the smooth spring waves without the help of the wind. This word is like a beautiful, lively and ethereal landscape painting, which is beautiful, fresh and lovely and has strong attraction.
Extended data:
Picking mulberry seeds, canoeing and crossing the West Lake are all good.
Song Dynasty: Ouyang Xiu
The canoe is short and the West Lake is good, the green water is winding, the grass is long and the warbler is flying, and the music is everywhere.
On the windless water, the glass was slippery, and the boat moved, causing slight ripples, which made the sand bird fly ashore.
Translation:
The scenery of the West Lake is beautiful, and canoeing is so carefree. The green lake stretches continuously, and the flowers and plants on the long embankment exude fragrance. Light music is singing, like floating on the lake with a boat.
The windless water is as smooth as glass. I don't think the ship is moving forward, but the slight waves are rippling beside it. Look, the waterfowl is startled by the boat and is flying over the shore of the lake.
