Cold Food Night is a seven-character quatrain written by Han Wo, a poet in Tang Dynasty. This poem depicts a rainy windy night with rich spring scenery and gloomy images. On the surface, it only describes the scenery, but there are people in the scene, and there are lingering feelings between the lines, expressing the poet's homesickness.
To annotate ...
Fear: sad. Here, the author writes his own feelings about cold and warm weather with subjective feelings. Ji ǐ n: It means that the spring breeze is sharp and stings people's skin, and it is the season when it is warm and cold.

The light cold that cuts the skin stings the wind, plum blossoms are like snow, and apricot blossoms are red. In the middle of the night, the swing rope on the diagonal hangs quietly, and the pavilion is faintly visible in the misty rain.
Distinguish and appreciate
The title of the poem is Cold Food Night. The third sentence "late at night" is bright, "swing" is dark, and cold food is dark. "Pei Fu" quoted "Ancient and Modern Art Pictures" and said: "Cold food in the north is a play, and learning is light. Later, colored ropes were hung on the wooden frame, and the ladies sat on it and pushed. " There are similar quotations in other books, such as Magnolia in Peace, The Origin of Things, and Collection of Sui Dynasty in Jingchu. According to the "Legacy of Kaiyuan Tianbao", during the Tianbao period (742-756), "from the palace to the Cold Food Festival, a swing was set up, which made the palace ladies laugh and thought it was a feast." This poem points out that the swing is a suitable thing for the Cold Food Festival.
Of course, the poet wrote about swings, not only for the topic, but mainly because among the surrounding scenery, swings attracted him the most and expressed his affection the most. But it's already "late at night" and "in the misty rain", and no one will "play for the swing" again. As the saying goes, only Qiu Qiansuo hangs there. The poet has a special liking for Qiu Qiansuo hanging in the air. Choosing it as the object of description can not help but remind people of two sentences in Wu Wenying's poem "The Wind Into the Pine": "The wasps frequently pounce on Qiu Qiansuo, and their hands are fragrant at that time." At midnight, in the drizzle, the poet also turned his attention to Qiu Qiansuo. It is precisely because he was once held by a "hand" that he couldn't help but think of the scene of playing a swing during the day and the people who played it.
There are 100 poems in Han Wo's cantaloupe collection, among which there are as many as ten poems about cold food and swinging. For example, "Occasionally": "I can't understand the skirt on the swing. You can show me a statue. Laugh away when you see the guest, and rub the plum in your hand and reflect it in the middle door. " Another example is "I want it": "In front of the Shuangmen Jade Hall, I eat cold flowers in the afternoon. I thought the man hung up and refused to go on the swing. " Another example is "revisiting Li Yuan Ting Huai at the Cold Food Festival": "In previous years, on the curved bridge, I saw willow cotton leaning against the bamboo fence. Nowadays, there is no trace of money in Duxiang Path. I'm sad for three thousand miles. I just want to live for four or five years. It is expected that the festivals in my hometown should also be dark and sad. " From the above poem, we can vaguely see a love affair between the poet and a beautiful woman at the Cold Food Festival and on the swing. Connecting these poems, and looking back at the third sentence of Cold Food Night, we can draw the conclusion that it is really a sentence of seeing people and remembering the scenery. Although the writing is tortuous and subtle, the news inside can still be broken.
From the perspective of the whole poem, the third sentence and the upper and lower sentences are interdependent and integrated. The whole poem consists of four sentences, forming a whole. The first two sentences of the poem can be said to color the scenery of the third sentence. The first sentence, "I am so tired that the cold wind blows hard", first enveloped the poem with a sad atmosphere; The second sentence, "Little snow, apricot blossom red", adds gorgeous color to the poem. With these two layers of baking and dyeing, we can express the ethereal spirit of the third sentence "that man" and the beautiful thought of "hands fragrant and congealing fat". As for the conclusion of the poem, "in the misty rain of a castle" comes directly from the third sentence and is an extension of the third sentence. It is to push the poet's secret warmth into the castle on a rainy night, secretly point out the place where he lives and what the poet remembers in his heart, thus deepening the artistic conception and making people feel vaguely affectionate and memorable after reading it. Without this conclusion, of course, there is no third sentence. As far as the whole article is concerned, it should be said that this poem is not only centered on the third sentence, but also a foil from top to bottom, and it is a perfect work in art.
