Jinguyuan is a seven-character quatrain written by Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This is an impromptu poem. The poet passed by the ruins of Jinguyuan, a rich man in the Western Jin Dynasty, hanging his ancient feelings.
The previous sentence says that the prosperity of Jinguyuan in the past is gone forever; The second sentence says that although the personnel are absent, the scenery is different; Three or four sentences are emotional, and listening to birds sounds like sadness; Seeing the falling flowers on the ground, I thought of Shi Chong's concubine, Lvzhu, who committed suicide by jumping off a building. Every sentence is about scenery, and every level must be in-depth. There are people in the scene and there are feelings in the scene. Writing about scenery is meaningful, lyrical and sad.

Note: Jinguyuan: Shichong Mountain Villa in the Western Jin Dynasty. In today's northwest of Luoyang City, Henan Province.
Explanation: The prosperity and luxury of the past have disappeared with the fragrance and dust. Only the ruthless river still flows relentlessly, and the ignorant grass still spits green every year. At dusk, the east wind sends birds singing and falling flowers, just like the man who fell from the building.
Analysis: This poem was written by Du Mu when he visited Jingu Garden in Luoyang. The infinite feelings expressed in the poem are condensed in one word: three. Whether it is prosperous or prominent, it will eventually disperse and become a virtual element. What is eternal is the flowing water of Yuan Qing, not the human desire.
Literary appreciation
Du Mu crossed Jingu Garden and wrote this song "Ode to Spring". Facing the barren garden, the poet first thought of the prosperous past of Jingu Garden, which disappeared with the fragrant dust. How many emotions are contained in the sentence "Flourishing fragrance and dust".
Wang Jia's "Notes on the Collection of Relics" said: "Shi Jilun's tablets are as fragrant as dust and spread on the bed. Those who love them will do it, and those who have no traces will get real pearls." This is a highlight of Shi Chong's extravagant life. The "incense dust" is subtle and erratic, and it goes quickly without a trace. The prosperity of Jingu Garden, the wealth of Shi Chong and the fragrance of green beads have all vanished like incense dust, but it is only a moment.
As Su Dongpo said in his poem, "Things are like spring dreams." . Alas, it is also sad. Let's look at the scenery in the desert garden: "Running water makes grass spring". Water refers to the golden water flowing through Jinguyuan in the southeast.
No matter the vicissitudes of the world, the running water is still gurgling, the spring grass is still lush, and they seem to have no feeling about the changes in personnel. This is a description of scenery and feelings, especially the word "Zi" in Cao Zichun, which is similar to the word "Zi" in Du Fu's "Shu Xiang".
