The last sentence "solitary smoke in the desert" means that in the vast desert, a solitary smoke rises from the ground and goes straight into the sky; The next sentence, "The long river sets the yen", is written on the horizon, above the Yellow River, spanning thousands of miles, and a lonely red sun is particularly round.
The reason why these two poems can be immortalized is mainly because the poet is good at absorbing typical scenery and endowing it with distinctive personality, depicting rough and magnificent artistic conception, making people feel as if they were there, and feel the unique scenery of the frontier fortress desert. The image combination of desert, wolf smoke, long river and sunset is very different from the scenes of green mountains and green waters, bright willows and flying birds and geese in the mainland: the desert is vast and boundless, and it is "big" when you look around; The wilderness beyond the Great Wall is desolate and lonely, without trees and gullies, but the warning is eye-catching, and the word "lonely" is not enough to describe its monotony and loneliness; The characteristic of shows that the wind is not inclined, so the word "straight" is naturally the most appropriate. If you are lonely and straight, the smoke is strong and straight. Although the Yellow River has nine bends, it can be seen in the desert, and the next word "long" feels the most real across the distance; Sunset, originally easy to give people a sentimental impression, uses the word "round" here, but gives people a feeling of warmth and boundless. The word "circle" and "straight" not only accurately describes the desert scene, but also shows the author's deep affection. The poet skillfully blends his loneliness into the description of the vast natural scenery. The forty-eighth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions said: "The desert is lonely and straight, and the long river sets the yen." . How straight do you want to smoke? The sun is naturally round. The word' straight' seems unreasonable, and the word' round' seems too vulgar. When I closed the book and remembered, I seemed to have seen this scene. You have to look for two more words of these two, but you can't find two words. The advantage of "this is" poetry is indescribable, but it is vivid when you want to leave; "It seems unreasonable, and it is reasonable to want to go." This passage also reveals the superb artistic realm of these two poems. The blank left in the poem is very large, which highlights the characteristics of the desert sky and vast land, makes the whole picture slightly lively in desolation and magnificent in sparseness, and embodies the characteristics of Wang Wei's poetry "painting in poetry". Wang Guowei, a close friend, called it "the wonders of the ages".
These two poems fully embody the characteristics of painting and attach great importance to the picture sense of the scenery. First of all, it has a picturesque composition, from the sunset on the horizon to the beacon smoke in the air to the underground river, from the nearby beacon smoke to the distant sunset to the endless desert. Although there are not many scenes on the screen, the space is vast and the levels are rich. Secondly, it has picturesque lines. On the endless desert, the smoke is vertical, the river is horizontal and the sunset is round. It uses a few strokes and simple lines to outline the basic form of the scenery, which is very general, just like an abstract work. Again, these two sentences are also very colorful. The vast desert is full of yellow sand, and the orange sunset at dusk converges its brilliance, living quietly in the sky, reflecting the calm river with white light, and a wisp of white beacon smoke rises from the desert and goes straight into the sky. The magnificent frontier scenery is as it is now.
