From: Langtaosha No.7 by Yuxi, Liu Tang.
Original poem:
Langtaosha Qiqi
Tang Dynasty: Liu Yuxi
In August, the waves roared, and the head was several feet high, touching the back of the mountain.
In a blink of an eye, I arrived at Haimen, and the rolled sand was like a snowdrift.
Explanation:
In August, the sound of the waves is like Ma Benteng's roar. Several feet high waves rushed to the rocks on the shore and were beaten back.
In a short time, it retreated to the intersection of the river and the sea and returned to the sea. The sand it rolls up is like a pile of snow in the sun.
Pottery in August: The Qiantang River in Zhejiang has the highest tide on August 18th of the lunar calendar every year. A short time, a moment.
Extended data creation background:
Since the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the momentum has declined. Governors are independent, eunuchs are authoritarian. When talented people are released and angered, resentful works are produced. After Liu Yuxi was transferred from Beijing official to local official, he also wrote famous works, such as Nine Poems of Langtaosha. This group of poems should be Liu Yuxi's later works, not created at one time and one place.
According to the Yellow River, Luoshui, Bianshui, Qinghuai, Nautilus Island, Zhuo Jinjiang, etc. Poems, or works for activities in Kuizhou, Hezhou and Luoyang, were later compiled into a group. Some scholars believe that this group of poems was written in the late Kuizhou period, that is, in the spring of the second year of Changqing (AD 822).
The author's achievements:
Liu Yuxi's article is the greatest achievement of argument. One is a monograph, which covers philosophy, politics, medicine, calligraphy, calligraphy and other aspects.
Philosophical papers such as "The Theory of Heaven" discussed the materiality of heaven, pointed out the views of "mutual victory" and "mutual use" between man and nature, and analyzed the social roots of "The Theory of Destiny" at that time, which had a certain position in the history of materialism development.
Liu Yuxi thinks that his specialty is "theory" and Han Yu's specialty is "pen" (Ode to courtiers), which reflects his emphasis on papers. Liu Yuxi's prose, like his poems, is beautiful in rhetoric and implicit in theme.
