Poetic background
poetic sentiment
This poem was written twice: "Rain at Night". The first time it was written in fact, the second time it was written in white. I dreamed of meeting my wife again, and then I recalled the scene of rain at night when "the candle was cut at the west window".
If the first two sentences are written as prospect, then the last two sentences are written as future. On the night of autumn rain, the poets touched the scene, spread their wings of imagination and expressed their love with rich natural associations. The poet chose two modes here: one is the dynamic scissors, and the other is the confirmation of pronunciation. "* * * Cut the candle at the west window" depicts a beautiful picture of a beautiful night in detail and infinitely, and the word "* * *" describes the intimate mode. However, the word "He Dang" pushed the beautiful scenery described by the poet into the distance and into the void. This beautiful scenery turned out to be nothing more than the poet's yearning for it. As for when to return to my gentle hometown, everything is "irregular". This is a cruel thing and a helpless thing. This sentence is full of emotion, but it does not contain a word "emotion", which is very implicit.
There is no better way to express your feelings than words. "Keep your word". The poet imagined that husband and wife would get together, talk by candlelight and communicate with each other. "Refusing to talk" is a retrospective memory. The poet imagines that time at this time, and then he is talking about this time, talking about the feelings of missing when the rain is there at night. The word "late rain" appears in two places in this short four-sentence poem, which is extremely rare in ordinary ancient poetry.
Image, delicacy, implication and profundity are the artistic features of this poem.

1, the understanding of "a note to friends in the north on a rainy night" is incorrect (D)?
A. The emotion contained in Wen Jun's Return is the helplessness of not meeting friends as soon as possible.
B. "Autumn pond rising in the late rain" means that he is lonely and desolate.
C. "How to cut the candle at the west window" refers to the deep expectation of having a heart-to-heart conversation with friends.
D. The last two sentences in the poem are about my own experience.
2. Choose the one with the wrong appreciation: (D)
A. This song is euphemistic, fresh and smooth. The poet predicts the future with the scene in front of him, thinking of meeting another day in the distance, full of twists and turns of feelings and profound thoughts.
B. The first question and answer is full of ups and downs and expressive. The sadness of his trip and the pain of not coming back came to mind.
C. "when" is an imaginary hope. Sitting in the west window, * * * cutting candle flowers, imagining beauty and being realistic, reveals the poet's deep yearning.
D The repetition of the ending sentence "Late Rain" shows that the author values this strange land and wants to describe it to relatives and friends.
3. A mistake in the analysis of this poem is: (b? )
A. in the first sentence, although the poet misses home every day, he has no accurate date of return, so he is helpless.
B. The second sentence describes the imaginary scene, which interweaves the sadness jumping from the paper with the endless night rain and the full autumn pool in the dreamland.
C. The third and fourth sentences, transcend time and space, push the present time to the future, let the future meet, and reflect the sadness tonight.
The words "period" and "twilight rain" appear repeatedly in the whole poem, which produces one artistic conception after another and expresses the poet's yearning for "Jun" when he is in a foreign land.
4, the appreciation of this poem is not correct (D)
A. The word "period" in the first sentence pauses first and then turns. There are questions and answers, and there are suggestions and suppression. The sadness of missing friends and wanting to return is vividly on the paper.
B. The word "Shang" is full of dynamic images, which not only depicts the scene of rainy night in Bashan Qiutan, but also shows the poet's deep sadness.
C. The last two sentences transcend time and space, push the present time to the future, and promise friends with imaginary future gatherings, which is not only a temporary comfort for yourself, but also a comfort for friends.
D "period" and "twilight rain" appear repeatedly in the poem, which makes people's thoughts wander between reality and imagination. It is a bit cumbersome to express their deep affection for "Jun".
5. The incorrect appreciation of this poem is (a)
A. The question and answer "The return date of the monarch is uncertain, and the dusk rain rises in the autumn pool." The question and answer wrote the uncontrollable excitement of the poet when the return period approached.
B. "It rains at night in the autumn pool." It is written that the night rain is intertwined and dense, rising over the autumn pool. The author did not say anything sad, and the feeling of sadness naturally appeared.
C. "When * * * cut the candle at the western window" was triggered by "the date of your return is uncertain", and "* * * cut" is a vision for future happiness.
D. "When you talk about late rain." In short, I hope I can catch up with everything tonight in the joy of reunion. The joy of the future reflects the bitterness of tonight, and the bitterness of tonight has become the talk of the future.
6. What are the advantages of the application of the word "Shang" in Late Rain Rising Autumn Pool?
A: The word "Shang" is homophonic with "rainy night" and "autumn pool". On the surface, it is an impromptu topic, but it actually shows that the intermittent autumn wind makes the pool full. Clever hints at the length of time that the poet can't sleep at night because of missing. This beautiful and vivid picture has aroused the imagination of readers. It seems that what rises in the autumn pool is not autumn water, but the pain that the poet can't give up.
7. Modern poetry generally avoids literal repetition, but this poem deliberately breaks away from convention. What is the artistic effect of the two appearances of "period", especially the repeated use of "late rain"?
A: The two views of the word "period", especially the reappearance of "late rain", just constitute a wonderful cycle of timbre and composition, which just shows the artistic beauty of the cycle of time and space and achieves the perfect combination of content and form.
