孫魴的這組《柳》詩,是唐代詠物詩中的長篇巨制。全詩緊扣“柳”這一主題,從不同時(shí)節(jié)、不同角度、不同情感出發(fā),極盡描摹之能事,展現(xiàn)了柳樹從初春到暮春的萬千風(fēng)姿。 詩歌開篇寫二月初柳的蘢蔥青軟,意態(tài)風(fēng)流,繼而將其置于歷史長河(煬帝河)與廣闊時(shí)空(晴陌古城)中,點(diǎn)出其“幾番榮又枯”的永恒節(jié)律,奠定了全組詩既詠物又詠史的深沉基調(diào)。后續(xù)各首則分別捕捉了柳樹的不同瞬間:新柳學(xué)舞、柳拂秋千、春物牽情、露壓煙濛、礙馬行人、御溝悠悠、顛狂絮落、伴風(fēng)見桃、開眼向人……詩人運(yùn)用擬人、比喻、對比等多種手法,將柳樹比作美人,賦予其情感與生命,寫得生動傳神,風(fēng)情萬種。 beyond mere description, the poems are imbued with deep emotion. The willow becomes a symbol of the uncontrollable passage of time (“幾番榮又枯”), the lingering attachment and helplessness in life (“擬折無端拋又戀”), the loneliness and being bullied (“分外欺凌寂寞人”), and the heartbreak of parting (“年年斷客腸”). The historical references further elevate the theme, connecting the fate of the willow to the rise and fall of dynasties, adding a layer of profound historical melancholy. The language is refined and elegant, the imagery is dense and vivid, and the emotional connotation is rich and complex. It is not only a masterpiece of chanting objects, but also a lyrical work that expresses the feelings of the world and reflects on history.
