Chapter 63 Thin stone with solitary flower, clear sheng and quiet chime - Jiang Kui

Jiang Baishi's poems are like wild clouds flying alone, leaving no trace. ——Zhang Yan's "Etymology" Taoist Baishi, a famous poet in Zhongxing, has extremely exquisite diction, which is not less than Halal Yuefu. ——Huang Sheng's "Selected Words from ZTE" Jiang Kui (approximately 1155 AD - approximately 1221 AD), courtesy name Yaozhang, nicknamed Baishi Taoist.A native of Poyang (now Jiangxi) in Raozhou.He has never been an official in his life. Apart from selling calligraphy, he mostly relies on other people's donations to make a living.Jiang Kui has a fine temperament and many talents. With the ambition to use the world, he is trapped in the field and cannot show his talents.His whole life was a life of being unrecognized and wandering in all directions, but he was proud of the lakes and mountains, and his self-esteem was high, which was definitely different from the vulgar Qing literati.Chen Yu praised him for his "free and unrestrained mind, like a man in Jin and Song Dynasties" ("Zang Yihua Yu").There are more than 80 poems in existence, the contents of which include emotion, current affairs, life experience, landscape travel, chanting things, love, etc.There are 17 poems in the collection of Ci that have been handed down from Gongchi side notation. They are the only Song Dynasty Ci music literature that has been handed down, and they are of great value in the history of music.The style of Jiang's Ci is quiet and steep. He writes lyrics with the thin and hard pen of the Jiangxi School of Poetry. profound.There is "Songs of Taoist Baishi".

Jiang Kui's Ci poems should have high achievements in themes such as feeling time, expressing feelings, chanting things, and love.Some words express my feelings of not forgetting state affairs even though I am down in the rivers and lakes. They have a certain patriotic meaning, but the sentiment is low and sad, vaguely implicit, such as "Yangzhou Slow": The famous capital of Huaizuo, the best place in Zhuxi, Xie An Shao stationed in the first journey.After ten miles of spring breeze, the shepherd's wheat is green.Since Huma peeped at the river, the ponds and trees were abandoned, and I still feel tired of talking about soldiers.It's getting dusk, the cold is blowing at the clear corner, and they are all in the empty city.Du Langjun's reward is so serious now that he should be shocked.Zongdou Kou Cigong, the dream of a brothel is good, but it is difficult to express affection.The twenty-fourth bridge is still there, the heart is shaking, and the cold moon is silent.Reading the red medicine by the bridge, knowing who was born every year?

This poem expresses the sorrow of the poet "Shu Li". The author writes the scene immediately, touches the scene to create emotion, and the scene blends, expresses the inner depression and anger, and expresses a patriotic affection. A notable characteristic of the artistic expression of "Yangzhou Slow" is that the scenery is written with a strong emotional color, and the scenery is full of emotion, turning the scenery into emotion.Its scenery is not vulgar or indiscriminate, and it is written around a unified theme, which is to express "the sadness of "Shu Li".When the poet "Xie An Shao stationed" in Yangzhou, it was fifteen years after the gold master Wanyan Liangnan committed a crime.The remnants of the war can be seen everywhere, but the poet only captured two shots: "The Chrysanthemum Wheat is Green" and the "Abandoned Pond and Arbors" all over the city.The mood aroused by these scenes is "I still hate words and soldiers".This is an anthropomorphic technique, endowing inanimate things with thoughts and feelings unique to humans.Things are like this, let alone people!This shows the people's hatred and curse for the war. The four characters "I still hate words and soldiers" "include infinitely hurtful nonsense. Others have thousands of words, and they don't have this charm" (Volume 2 of "Bai Yuzhai Ci Hua" by Chen Tingzhuo in the Qing Dynasty).In the concluding sentence of the first film, the word "cold" in the four characters "Qingjiao blowing cold" is well written.The chill is originally the tactile feeling of the weather, but the poet did not say the weather was cold, but said "blowing the cold", as if the chill was "blown" by the sound of the desolate horn.This highlights the artificial emotional color.Here, what the poet heard was Qingjiao's mournful chants, and what he felt was the chilling air, and then connected with the "Chrysanthemum Mai Qingqing" and "Abandoned Pond Arbor" seen earlier, it is a vivid and bleak picture. picture.What you see and hear, what you think and feel are all intertwined and unified in this "empty city". The word "all in" connects all the scenery together, and at the same time turns the scenery into emotion, integrating the emotion in the scene and the scene in the emotion to highlight the "sadness in "Shu Li".The third sentence of the next film: "The twenty-four bridge is still there, the heart is shaking, and the cold moon is silent." In addition, the pen makes up for nature, allowing the tactile experience of "cold" and the auditory experience of "silence" to move and communicate with each other, which strengthens the reader's sensibility to the cold and desolate scene.The words "cold moon" and "silent" here, and the word "disgusting" in the previous film "Abandoned Pond Trees, Still Disgusted with Words and Soldiers", are all associations and transfers of the poet's subjective feelings, and are the result of transferring human feelings to objects.This enhances the artistic appeal of words.The upper column has a lyrical and deep feeling in the narrative scene description, and the lyricism of the lower channel is mostly written from the side and the empty place, which is very characteristic of the Sao Ya school.

The artistic style of Jiang Kui's Ci can be summed up by the word "Qing Kong" commented by Zhang Yan.He said: "The words must be empty, not substantive. Empty is quaint and steep, and the quality is condensed and obscure. Jiang Baishi's Ci is like a wild cloud flying alone, leaving no trace. Wu Mengchuang's Ci is like a tower of seven treasures, dazzling the eyes, broken and broken When it comes down, it is not a fragment. This is the theory of emptiness and substance... Baishi's poems such as "Shu Ying", "Dark Fragrance", "Yangzhou Slow"...etc., are not only empty, but also elegant. Reading it makes people wonder Fly over."

Jiang Kui's Ci has become a family of its own in the Southern Song Dynasty and has always been highly respected.Zhang Yan's "Etymology" rated it as "quaint and steep", "reading it makes you look over the sky"; Fan Chengda said that Baishi Ci "has the wonderful hand of cutting clouds and sewing the moon, and the strange sound of knocking gold and jade"; Zhang Yan said "like wild clouds. Fly alone, go and stay without trace" ("Etymology"); Chen Yu's "Zang Yihua Yu" also said that Baishi "intended language skills, and he did not expect to be far away, but he was far away"; He praised Jiang Kui for "there is no one before, and no one to come after, and he is the sage among the true words." , nothing like a white stone" ().Jiang Kui's Ci poems are unrestrained and unrestrained, with lofty meanings, as if there is a kind of cold fragrance and ease, which makes people feel endless; , Make good use of strong pens and meaningful sentences to create a vigorous and steep style; pay attention to rhythm, make more self-made tunes, with high rhyme and sound, harmonious and pleasant. "Lingfenguan Cihua" said that he "washed out the extravagance, and only marked the beauty, such as a thin stone with a solitary flower, a clear sheng and a quiet chime", which can quite express the unique personality of Baishi Ci.Jiang Kui has a rigorous writing attitude, pays attention to artistic refinement, is proficient in music theory, deliberately seeks work in writing lyrics, repeatedly sculpts, deliberates words and sentences, and pursues rhythm.His style of poetry was highly praised by the Saoya School in the late Southern Song Dynasty and the Zhejiang School poets in the Qing Dynasty.As far as the influence is concerned, at that time there were Shi Dazu, Zhang Yan, Wang Yisun, Zhou Mi, etc., known as "Jiang School" poets.In the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Yizun advocated the "Zhe School" of Ci, and even recommended Jiang Kui as his master. Jiang Kui's status in the history of Ci can be seen from this.

Jiang Kui also worked in poetry. He first learned Jiangxi School of Poetry when he wrote poetry, and then he came up with the influence of Tang poetry. Strange sound" (quoted in "Zhizhai Shulu Jieti").Baishi's poems either describe the adventures of trekking across Sichuan and land, such as "Xiyou" in ancient style;The seven-character quatrains, such as "Daye from the Stone Lake to Tiaoxi", "Miscellaneous Songs of Dwelling on the Lake", etc., chanting the wandering life, describing the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, the sentences are exquisite, the artistic conception is profound, the rhyme is bright and graceful, very poetic and picturesque.But the name of his poem is concealed by the name of the word.
