Appreciation in dreams

The sky is overcast, the rain is pouring, and the building is red and sunny.

Whether the laity in Songyang is safe today or not, the eyes of teenagers see people's feelings in Wan Li. The title of this poem is "Writing in a Dream". With the fleeting sense of clarity in the dream and the usual mood, the poet naturally pours it out, such as rushing out of the mountains and shaking leaves in the breeze. Therefore, the poetic realm is extraordinary, beyond the reach of ordinary pen and ink.

The first half of the sentence, "Dark clouds in the sky", ostensibly describes the new sunny scene after the rain, but in essence it is written for current events, with a pun, natural harmony and profound meaning. The red sun on the roof, although it has illuminated the peak, is full of light; However, the dark clouds on the horizon are still heavy, still containing rain, and gloomy storms can still come at any time. The author lived in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although Qidan (now called Liao State) in the north and Xia State in the west reached peace talks with Liao and Xia, and gave them a lot of gold, silver and silk at the end of the Song Dynasty, they lived in peace for the time being, but the crisis and hidden worries still existed. Bribing the enemy for peace is tantamount to quenching thirst with poison, which not only weakens the strength of the Song Dynasty, but also strengthens the other side, forming a situation of defeating the enemy without fighting. The two great enemies, the West and the North, posed a serious threat to the Song Dynasty at any time. Like a dark cloud in the sky, once it is rolled up, it may be dark, stormy and sunny for a while. Of course, this is also a welcome sign, but it is not reliable to want sunshine. Being too optimistic is bound to make a big mistake.

The second half "Songyang laity now in where? The sentence "Seeing Wan Li's feelings with bright eyes" is a vivid expression of the author's mind. In the poem, these two sentences show jumping feelings. The writer is a scribe and a famous calligrapher. Although he is sensitive and far-sighted to the current situation, he laments that he has failed to remedy the predicament and is unable to achieve it. Because he has the heart to save the world, he has a feeling of seclusion. The author wants to go to Songyang because that's where scholars live. In ancient times, it was said that Gao You lived in seclusion between Songshan Mountain and Hehe Mountain. Hermits in Tang Dynasty mostly lived in Songshan Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain. Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote many poems, such as eighteen pictures of Pei in Songshan Mountain in the South, and people in Yangshan Mountain in Songshan Mountain, which showed his yearning for Songshan Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain, especially the poem entitled Preface of Yi Dan Qiu in Songshan Mountain, which can better express Li Bai's mood. Yuan Danqiu is an aristocratic scholar, and Li Bai once called him "Dan Qiusheng". The preface of this poem says: "Yuan Gong recently visited Songshan Mountain, so he made friends with deep feelings. His sources of information are endless. As a master, he is very happy to achieve his original intention. When you don't return, you can leave your family. " The poem says: "The old friends Qi Songying and Gao Dan _, have disappeared, and this peak valley is finally said. Self-conceited, not envious of the world. Even if there is true meaning, I feel that the world is thin. "The escape of Songshan people refers to the laity of Songyang. The last two sentences in Cai Xiang's poems use the poetic meaning of Li Bai. Yuan Danqiu looked at Li Bai with bright eyes, so "rock belief is frequent, and Xu is the main person". The author thinks that in the Song Dynasty at that time, there were few experts like Yuan Danqiu, but there were people everywhere begging for flattery and inviting pets, so they sighed for no reason. The poem says, "Where is the layman in Shuyang? "I'm deeply sorry. The poet believes that if the laity in Songyang still exists, they will definitely look at people with clear eyes, which is what the author yearns for, although it is separated from Wan Li.

The whole poem starts with feeling the difficulties of the current situation, expresses feelings through the scenery, and expresses the author's concern for the world and his inability to save time; The ambivalence of longing for seclusion but not being able to do it. As a literati and a scholar, the poet's mood of this poem is very suitable for his identity. The language of poetry is bright, gentle and windy. Chen Yan thinks that this poem has "God's help", which shows that the realm of the poem is very high, and it is a work that was accidentally realized in a dream.
