Guizhou, that is, Guilin, is famous for its landscapes and has enjoyed the reputation of "the best in the world" for thousands of years. In the Tang Dynasty, Guilin's landscape was also famous and desirable.
The first two sentences write the name of Guilin, point out the geographical location of Guizhou and reflect the yearning for Guizhou. Zhuan Xu described the beauty of Guilin's landscape with "Jiangluo Belt, the mountain is like a jade hairpin". Guilin is a mountainous and hilly area with a typical karst landform. Because the limestone layer is eroded and cut by water, it forms a unique landscape. Thousands of peaks stand around the city, surrounded by water, and the caves are beautiful. The mountains in Guilin are strange and beautiful; The water in Guilin is clear and winding. Han Yu described this kind of beauty as "the river belt and the mountains are like jade hairpin". These two sentences describe the characteristics of Guilin's landscape in a very general way. "Luodai" and "Hosta" are women's ornaments, showing the beauty of mountains and rivers. Regarding the mountains in Guilin, Fan Chengda said, "There are thousands of peaks in Guangxi, and none of them extend. They are known to rise from the ground, with elegant jade quality and boundless forest. Strange and numerous, the best in the world ",but also compared to" jade quality elegant "; The water in Lijiang River is not only green and winding, but also slow, just like a jade belt fluttering by a woman. Therefore, the author uses female ornaments such as "Green Ribbon" and "Hosta" as a metaphor, which can be said to be wonderful.
Neck couplets wrote about the specialties of Guilin, and it was not until the end couplets that it came down to the meaning of farewell, saying that friends going to Guilin was far better than immortals, expressing their good wishes for friends going.
Extended reading: Han Yu's literature
Han Yu is an advocate of the ancient prose movement, who advocates inheriting the prose tradition of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties and opposes the parallel prose that pays attention to the rhythm and ignores the content. Han Yu's articles are magnificent, well-organized and logical, and are known as the first of the "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties". At that time, people had the reputation of "Koreans". Du Mu juxtaposes Korean with Du Shi, which is called "Du Han Shi Bi". Su Shi called him "the decline of eight generations of literature." The ancient prose movement advocated by Liu Han opened up the development path of ancient prose since the Tang Dynasty. Korean poetry strives for novelty, emphasizing momentum and originality. Taking prose as poetry, Han Yu introduced the new language, rules and techniques of ancient China into the poetry circle, which enhanced the expressive function of poetry, expanded the field of poetry, and corrected the mediocre poetic style since Dali (766-780). In terms of feudal ideology and morality, he is also unique, vigorously advocating Confucianism, advocating the inheritance of Confucian orthodoxy, and creating Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties.
One of the characteristics of Han Yu's articles is that he speaks the truth and has nothing to fear, or that he dares to speak the truth. This feature is inseparable from his positive political attitude. In several of his essays, he dared to expose the facts and say what the ministers didn't say. "On Yushitai" and "On the West of Huai River" all have this feature. Of course, the most representative is the article on the Buddha's bone table. Among them, it is said that "the minister does not make mistakes, and the suggestion does not mention the loss." In feudal society, it is a great courage to dare to say what others should say but not say. Therefore, articles like Han Yu have content, depth and strength. Coupled with Han Yu's extraordinary language art, it has become a magnificent and good article.
The truth of Han Yu's articles lies in that he dares to tell the truth in front of the monarch, and also in that he dares to say something that is contrary to the old saying and even contradicts his other articles, regardless of the traditional ideas of Confucianism. For example, the article "Reading Mozi" once said that "Confucius must use Mozi, and Mozi must use Confucius, which is insufficient." Such remarks obviously contradict his admiration for Confucius and Mencius. For such remarks, the predecessors called them "thorns." In fact, this is Han Yu's respect for Confucianism rather than sticking to the rules.
