The tower overlooks the end of Yueyang, and the Sichuan River opens to Dongting.
The geese lead away the sorrowful heart, and the mountains carry the beautiful moon.
I stay in the clouds and receive my cup in the sky.
After getting drunk, the cool breeze blows and people dance on their sleeves.
——Li Bai's "Climbing the Yueyang Tower with Xia Twelve" In the whole poem, the poet hides himself behind the buildings, rivers, wild geese, mountains and other landscapes, letting the tower watch, the river in a roundabout way, and the wild geese. The sorrowful heart flies away, and the beautiful moon comes with the mountain in its name. Everything in the world has unconsciously become the carrier of human life and emotions.
The first couplet describes the magnificent scenery around Yueyang Tower. Climb up the Yueyang Tower and have a panoramic view of the boundless scenery. The river flows into the vast distance, and the Dongting Lake is vast and endless. This is a distant view of the surroundings from the top of the building. Standing high and looking far, "Yueyang ends", "Sichuan spreads" and "Dongting opens". This vast and vast scenery of "end", "edge" and "open" vividly shows the poet's high footing. This is a sideways foiling technique. Instead of writing about the height of the building directly, the height of the building is self-evident.
The natural creatures described by the poet in the couplet seem to be given life. You see, the wild geese fly high, taking away the poet's sorrow and depression; when the moon rises from the mountain pass, it seems that Junshan is carrying the beautiful reunion. moon. The sentence "Mountain title has a good month" has novel imagination and originality. With the word "title", the whole realm is revealed. It is written in a weird, indulgent, humorous and humorous way.
The neck couplet writes that the poet stayed in the Yueyang Tower and drank wine as if he were among the clouds in the sky. Here again, the height of the building is written in a foiling way, exaggerating to describe its towering state, which seems to be a mirage in a drunken eye.
The closing couplet is written with vivid charm and contains a strong interest in life. The wind blows fiercely when the building is high, and it is extremely cold at high places. After being drunk, the cool breeze blows everywhere, and I am still writing about the height of the building. The cool breeze blows gently, the sleeves are fluttering, the appearance is so free and easy, the mood is so relaxed and smooth, the attitude is so detached and open-minded, and the pride and ambition are beyond words.
The whole poem uses foil, foil and exaggeration techniques. There is no direct description of the height of the building from the front. Every sentence is written from a bird's eye view of the distant, open and towering scenery around Yueyang Tower, but it is everywhere. It shows the height of the building without revealing the traces of ax chiseling. It can be said to be natural and ingenious.
