In the evening, I was unhappy and drove to Gu.
Sunset, infinitely beautiful, only near dusk.
Understanding of Leyuan Scenic Area
This poem is very short, but many people actually misunderstand the latter two poems. Usually people understand it as, the sunset is really infinitely beautiful, but it is near dusk. The word "gang" in this poem, at least in the late Tang Dynasty, did not turn. There are many such examples. Let's talk about Li Shangyin's own poems, including "and a moment that should last forever, unconsciously coming and going" in Jinse. If the word "just" here refers to a turning point, a hypothesis or even regret, it is logically unreasonable. "Before I knew it, it had come and gone" means that these things were unstoppable when they happened.
"Just" should actually be "just", which is close to "only" or "only" in meaning. Therefore, the original intention of "the sunset is infinitely beautiful and buried by the coming night" is that the sunset is infinitely beautiful, even when it is near dusk. The poet not only didn't mean to turn around, but also highlighted the most beautiful sunset at dusk.
Many friends didn't notice this detail of these two words in ancient Chinese. They think that Li Shangyin's poems are sentimental and there are not many good scenes. They even think that this poem is a reflection of the poet's "declining and negative" emotions, which has really caused great misunderstanding.
The poet felt uncomfortable at night, so he drove to the Leyuan Scenic Area outside Chang 'an. When he saw the beautiful sunset, he was in a good mood. He wrote this song "Le Garden Scenic Area". We can easily think of Chen Ziang's "going to Taiwan" in the early Tang Dynasty. Once a person arrives in a spacious and open place, it is easy to cause endless thoughts. When we climb high and see far away, don't we feel comfortable and even have the urge to sing a song?
The feelings of home and country, life experience, ancient and modern feelings, and the thinking of man and nature are the favorite feelings expressed by China poets. Of course, the poet didn't drive to Guyuan to express his feelings, but to dispel the feelings of "having a shadow in his heart". After watching the sunset, he is infinitely satisfied and relaxed, so that we can feel the beauty of the sunset in Chang 'an through the Millennium.
