Huainan autumn swift smells the geese, and Gaozhai geese smell it.

(Tang) Wei's Yan Wen

Where is your hometown? It's leisurely to think about it.

Autumn night in Huainan, the high house smells wild geese coming.

[Notes]

"Hometown": Chang 'an, the hometown of poets.

"Miao": Ancient prose is hazy, vague and ambiguous because of its long history.

Elegant study.

[Appreciation]:

In 783, four years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wei was appointed as the secretariat of Chuzhou by Yuan Wailang of Shangshu Bishi Department. I left Beijing in the first summer and arrived in autumn. This song "Yan Wen" was written shortly after he arrived in Chu.

It's a rainy night in autumn. Poets sitting alone in Gaozhai, listening to the continuous autumn rain outside in the dark night, feel the depth of the night, the cold of autumn and the emptiness of Gaozhai more and more. Such a bleak and lonely environment will inevitably touch the thoughts of distant officials. Wei lives in Chang 'an, which is more than two thousand miles away from Chuzhou. Even if you climb the stairs to lead the distance during the day, you will feel blocked by Yunshan and return to the road. It was dark at night and I looked around vaguely. Naturally I don't know where it is. The remoteness of hometown is directly proportional to the long composition of homesickness. This long night and continuous autumn rain make this homesickness endless and carefree. One or two sentences, the first sentence begins with a question, the second sentence begins with a sigh, and the implication contains infinite disappointment. The word "Fang" reveals self-righteousness and arrogance towards senior three and senior four.

Just when the homesickness could not be controlled, the poet sitting alone in Gaozhai heard the geese calling from far and near. On the lonely night of autumn rain, this voice is particularly sad, which makes it even more difficult for poets who have been sleepless all night because of homesickness to think about it. The poem came to an abrupt end when it was written here, leaving no mention of the feelings caused by "Yan Wen" for readers to recite and play. "After thinking, I said Yan Wen, and my feelings are deep. Say it backwards, and you can get close. "(Shen Deqian's" Gao Shi Bie Cai ")

From the text alone, it seems that what the poem expresses is nothing more than the homesickness of a distant official. However, the bleak and sorrowful feelings and the autumn sound and autumn meaning pervade the whole poem make readers vaguely feel that there is a shadow of the times behind this poem "Homesickness" and "Yan Wen", which contains the poet's feelings for the times and society.

Shen Deqian said: "Five-character quatrains, the nature of sincerity, the sublimity of white, the ancient style of Suzhou, converge into a chemical machine" ("On Poetry"). Gu Lian is indeed the style feature of Wei's five-character quatrains. From this poem by Yan Wen, we can see that he consciously used the sentence patterns, language and expression techniques of ancient poems while maintaining the characteristics of "the meaning should be implicit and the language should be inclusive", forming a lofty and far-reaching artistic conception. Between verses, avoid excessive jumping, and the language also strives to be concise and natural, avoiding carving. One or two sentences are also mixed with sentence syntax of scattered culture. This style is different from Bai Juyi's simple language to express the interests of daily life (such as Bai Juyi's A Suggestion for My Friend Liu).
