The fire, some old notes interpreted as an alchemist's fire, some are said to be a fisherman's fire. These statements are inappropriate. Wang Qi of A Qing Dynasty thought it was a fire of smelting and casting, and this view was generally recognized. Because according to the New Tang Book Geography, there are many mines in Qiupu, especially silver and copper. The smelting furnace is red, so it can shine on heaven and earth. The unique aesthetic feeling of purple smoke.
Li Bai likes to use this word. For example, "wear emerald green, brush purple smoke on the sleeves", "pick out the blue haze with plain hands, drag purple smoke with Luo clothes", and the famous "Rizhao incense burner emits purple smoke" and so on. The "purple smoke" in the first two cases is the image in the celestial world that Li Bai is fascinated by, which is the so-called purple auspicious cloud.
The latter category is natural scenery. The "purple smoke" sentence in this poem is a description of the red star of fire flying in the purple smoke. Using "purple smoke" instead of "thick smoke" not only weakens the hardships of smelting and casting craftsmen, but also endows this labor scene with a gorgeous color, which reflects the poet's ability to capture the beauty of color.
In this poem, the poet is full of passion and praises the laborers, which is rare in Tang poetry and therefore precious.
