Jasper dressed up as a tree,
Ten thousand green silk tapestries hang down.
I don't know who cut off the thin leaves,
The spring breeze in February is like scissors.
This "Liu Yong" is a famous sentence that all primary school students will recite! However, personally, I only recited it when I was a child. As for its specific advantages, it is not clear. Let's analyze its beauty now.
As can be seen from the title, this is a poem about objects, and the object of the poem is willow.
In the first sentence of the poem, Jasper dresses up as a tree. Jasper is used here to compare the bright green willow leaves in spring, and the two are similar in color. In addition, "Jasper" is an allusion. There is an idiom "Little Jasper" in the Southern Dynasties, which describes a simple and beautiful poor girl. The author compares the willow tree to a slim girl, and the word "makeup" is very vivid!
In the second sentence, 10 thousand green silk tapestries hang down, silk tapestries are ribbons, and 10 thousand are function words, indicating that there are many wickers. This sentence compares wicker with silk tapestry, and a thousand wickers seem to have become a nepotism of beauty, both of which are quite charming and energetic!
The last two sentences, I wonder who cut the thin leaves? The spring breeze in February is like scissors. The third question and the fourth answer are actually rhetorical questions. The wind is unpredictable, but the author turned it into scissors in Miss Chun's hand to cut out the shape of willow leaves, which can be described as a stroke of genius and a strange brain hole! Comparing the spring breeze to scissors is the third metaphor used in the whole poem.
On the whole, the first sentence is Liu, the second sentence is Liu, and the third sentence is Liu, from far to near. Three metaphors are used, one is to ask questions, and the first two sentences are anthropomorphic. Although the topic is Liu Yong, in the end, he praised the weather and vitality that spring gave to nature. Wonderful!
What is the author of this poem? Tang poetry is well written, calligraphy is crazy, career is smooth, life is longer than Nanshan, and people are funny!
He has been an official for 50 years, and after several emperors, he has been a prime minister. Even if he resigned, it was sent by a hundred officials. Such a smooth life is unique in the feudal society of more than two thousand years!
At that time, He was sent back to his hometown by letter, and officials saw him off. He is in a particularly happy mood. In the early spring of February, he took a boat back to his old house by the riverside outside the south gate. Suddenly, he saw a tall willow standing out from the crowd on the river bank, so he wrote "Singing Willow", which not only praised the willow, but also expressed the poet's infinite love for spring!
He compared the spring breeze to the creativity of scissors, which influenced many poets in later generations and was worth learning.
