The General Knowledge of Literature in Two Prose Poems
Prose poetry is a literary genre that combines the characteristics of prose and poetry. It is usually composed of a series of coherent passages, and there is no strict rhythmic requirement between each paragraph. Prose poetry was a combination of lyricism, description, and discussion. The language was concise and poetic. Below are two classic prose poems. Let us understand their literary common sense together: 1 Ascending the Mountain-Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty The wind is strong, the sky is high, the apes howl, the white birds fly back to the clear sand of the mournful island. Endless trees fall and the endless Yangtze River rolls down. I'm always a guest in autumn, sad for thousands of miles. I've been sick for a hundred years, and I'm alone on the stage. I'm in trouble, bitter resentment, frosty hair, downcast hair, I've just stopped drinking. This poem was written by Du Fu when he was looking into the distance. It described the magnificent mountains and rivers and the difficulties of life. The first line," The howling of the apes in the high sky," depicted the howling of apes in the high sky when the wind was strong. The couplet "White birds fly back from the clear sand" depicted the birds flying back from the clear water and beach. The neck couplet and the tail couplet were both descriptions of nature, expressing the poet's feelings and thoughts. "Farewell to the Ancient Original Grass"-Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty The grass on the plain withers and thrives once a year. The wildfire never ends, and the spring breeze blows, it grows again. The far-off fragrance encroaches on the ancient road, the clear green connecting the deserted city. And send the king's grandson away, full of parting feelings. This poem was written by Bai Juyi when he was sending off a friend who had gone on a long journey. It described the life cycle and changes of nature. The first sentence," grass on the plains," described the lush grass in the wilderness that would gradually wither and grow with the change of seasons. The couplet "Wild fire cannot burn and grow again in the spring breeze" described the tenacious vitality of wild grass. Even if it was destroyed by wildfire, it could grow again in the spring breeze. The neck couplet and the tail couplet were both descriptions of nature, expressing the poet's feelings of farewell.
